text: Department of Public Safety Drexel University's Department of Public Safety takes a holistic approach to providing "best in class" preventive and protective services to the Drexel University community. The department provides and administers many community-oriented services and programs which exist to maintain a secure environment and to enhance the quality of life on our campuses (University City Campus, Center City Campus and the Queen Lane Campus). Drexel Public Safety accomplishes its mission by integrating the best practices of modern public and private security, law enforcement and fire safety complemented with technology. First and foremost, our police and security forces provide a highly visible presence around the clock in our buildings and on our streets and walkways. Other strategies include ongoing educational programs that provide important information through personal safety and fire safety awareness training. These as well as other initiatives focus on the importance of the community and partnerships. We enjoy excellent professional relationships with many public and private institutions, agencies and groups that play an important role in the Drexel community. One of our most important principles is that safety and security is a shared responsibility. It is imperative that our community members know, understand and practice a realistic approach to creating and maintaining the safest possible environment that is based on practices, partnerships, experience and common sense. The men and women of the department are committed to professional excellence and truly believe in a community-oriented approach. We are always seeking new and better ways to provide these services while maintaining a welcoming and open campus environment. By constantly holding ourselves to the highest professional standards and never forgetting the individuals we serve, we will continue to grow in ways that protect everyone on our campuses as part of the Drexel experience.

Shares of video game maker Electronic Arts (EA) are down 4% this afternoon, the biggest fall on the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
Since hitting a low on July 31, EA's stock had been on a ride up, gaining 43% through yesterday. The maker of the best-selling Madden football games as well as the FIFA Soccer franchise, has had a rough year though, and is still down 28% in 2012.
And even its climb since late July has been anything but smooth, as this chart shows:
Perhaps contributing to the volatility has been weak video games sales over the period — in November, for example, sales were down 11% across the industry from 2011.
There are reasons why EA enjoyed the a spurt in the second half of the year, as Dan Gallagher outlined last week:

"This is an end of an era for Providence Tango," Robin Pfahning says.
It's about 45 minutes into 2013 and she's standing in a mill-turned-dance studio in Pawtucket. There is a disco ball hanging overhead, mirrors lining many of the walls, and an old piano sitting in a corner of the room. For the last few hours, Pfahning and over 150 others have been passionately dancing to mournful 1930s and '40s Argentinian tunes pouring from speakers around the room. But now she holds a microphone instead of a partner. And the other dancers have cleared the floor to sit and listen. The music has stopped.
>> SLIDESHOW: Last tango in Pawtucket <<
"It seemed like ages ago that Ellen and I used to travel and go to festivals," Pfahning says, addressing Providence Tango founder Ellen Mayer, seated nearby wearing a lipstick-red dress and matching high-heeled tango shoes. Mayer, Pfahning explains, is selling the building and her tango teaching/event business.
"It always amazed me," continues Pfahning, one of the company's longest-working instructors. "[W]e would meet people from all around the country and they would say that they had heard of the great food and all-night milongas [tango dance parties] in Providence, Rhode Island."
Tonight is one of those nights. The room is crowded. Coat racks overflow with jackets and scarves. And guests have been strutting and swerving across the dance floor since 9 pm. Many will continue to dance until 5 am. Then, after a few hours to sleep and eat on New Year's morning, they will tango on from 11 am to 11 pm.
Mayer's New Year's party philosophy has been simple, she says: "If you feed them, they will come." A former caterer, she spends much of the time out of sight, preparing trays of lamb meatballs, kale salad, roast pork, carrot cake, and mocha cheesecake that are shuttled out to a buffet periodically.
But the draw of the evening is unquestionably the dance floor, where couples clutch hands and press cheeks together, sliding and lunging with eyes half closed in rapture. Some are older, like the woman well past Social Security age who gamely sports an Angelina Jolie-height slit along the side of her dress. Others are young pros with bare midriffs and long, spindly legs that flick and stab like daggers. Many of the men in the room are engineers and PhD candidates, says Sabina Wolfson, a research scientist from New York City.
"It appeals to nerds," she explains. "At least for the dudes, I think it's a really good way to hang out with women in a more comfortable format where you don't have to talk as much."
"Pick up on it," she tells me, "because when you're 70, you can dance with sexy young ladies. It's an investment in your future."
For the women, though, it isn't about sex, says Martha Castano. The dance, itself, is the thing.
"Tango is passion. It's a way to express life . . . it's like ecstasy," she says. She has come tonight for two reasons: to dance with her husband and to sell bright striped leggings and skimpy dresses she has designed for her non-profit line of "tango wear," Eloisa de Gardel, named in honor of the "James Dean of tango," Carlos Gardel.

Will fifth time be the charm for East Valley schools?
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Is the fifth time the charm? The East Valley School District is hoping voters will pass a bond at a February 12 special election. Their last successful bond was back in 1996.
Some of East Valley's schools were built in 1979 and it's starting to show. They say they need common sense upgrades like sprinkler systems and heating and cooling systems, but also big ticket items, like a new football field, so the high school's team can actually practice there.
"I came here in 1989 when this building was the beautiful new high school in the greater Spokane area," Principal Jeff Miller said.
He's been around to see the school in its glory days and now -- 24 years later -- to see it fall apart.East Valley School Bond vo
"We're lacking sorely; we have a little 106 seat small black box theater," Miller said.
Miller has also been around to see four separate bonds fail, so he's really hoping this new $65 Million bond can bring his kids the school they deserve.
"It would be wonderful; we have the lowest school taxes of any district around us, so we just want to get up in the mainstream and provide our kids with the same things that the other kids enjoy," he said.
A major goal of this bond is to put an astroturf field at East Valley High School; as it stands right now teams can't even practice on the field for fear it will get too muddy. Instead they head out to the cow pastures to practice for big games.
The bond would pay for big ticket items like that new field., but also smaller upgrades.
It calls for a $1.35 tax on every $1,000 of a home's assessed value. That means a home in the East Valley School District valued at $150,000 would be taxed about $202 a year.
"The feedback we're getting from the community and our parents is really positive," Brian Wallace said.
Wallace is the executive director of operations for all East Valley schools. The ones in most need of modernization, he says, are the K through 8 elementary schools.
"There's some rooms that don't have enough power, you plug in eight computers and you flip the breaker," he explained.
And so if the fifth time is the charm, Miller and Wallace think they might see their schools brought into the 21st century.
"It's 25 years old and it's time for some upgrades so that our kids have some upgraded faclities to compete in and perform in and same as the kids in neighboring high schools," Miller said.

order 66 are almost too large to stash. Make that all LA area TRUs Speck!
I haven't seen Order 66 or even Force Unleashed (2008 Wave 2) in the stores, let alone any ample supply of Wave 1 (just the leftovers - I got my figures from HTS).
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Got SSC Commander Praji yesterday! Pretty neat, but the funky shoulder-structure on the Sideshow bodies make him look a bit weird. The cloth cap doesn't wanna sit properly (maybe water-treatment or something will help with that) and the plastic cap's got a funny discoloration a bit to the side of the disc on the front. Nothing too bad, just a different-looking black. Great weapons, and I didn't break any right outta the box (unlike Bespin Luke's blaster). The gloved hands aren't so great with the E-11, particularly the left since you risk popping off the folding stock and even the scope if you're not handling it carefully, and the snap on the holster's a bit too short for the low-powered magnet that seems to hold it shut, even without the blaster in there.
Now if Hasbro will just give us a Praji or other ANH black-suit, with great articulation, removable cap, proper rank badge pips, and the brown holster with a larger-grip version of the TAC Jawa pistol... that'd be great!
Burbank Target was empty. Only Bob & I were there, nothing for either of us! PLENTY of room for SW basics though.. and comic packs... and Joe comic packs... and Joe basics... HTS doesn't even get any Joes in often! Also tons of room for DCU.
New GI Joe wave is up on HTS (HISS Driver, Viper, Spirit Iron-Knife, Snake Eyes, Duke, Wild Bill).
Update: HISS Driver gone already. That was fast.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Looks like that is a pre-order.

Okay, as Toys Us are the Star Warts destination I went to my local on Saturday. They had a full rack of about 6 different figures. Luckilly one of them was Dexter so that wasn't too bad, but hardly a wide selection, and no 12" at all.
So today I popped into Woolies to see if they had restocked. As usual there was only Obi, Ani and jango-y. I asked the assisstant if they were going to get any different ones in. She very helpfully told me that there will probably be more waves released later. So, being the smug, fanboy git that I am, I pointed out that about 27 figures had been released and that maybe they may get some more soon?
Oh yes, 'when more waves are released' was the reply. I tried again to explain that they had already been released but got the same reply. Why don't these people listen?????
Anyway I walked round the corner and saw a brand new 'The Entertainer' that wasn't there two weeks ago. I went tripping merrily over, only to find that it doesn't open till Saturday!!! And you can see all the stock just sitting there, and they've even got the 'Atlantis' 12" figures for £3 each! Not SW I know but cool nonetheless.
Anyway, when Hasbro get this pigging webpage up and running I echo Jargo in that I hope they can advise us where we can get stock without having to pay postage onit all the time. Yep, I'm being a spendthrift and refusing to do mail order because I don't see why we have to!!!
Grump over now - I feel better for venting.

School Bus Issues
In the past few weeks, many parents have expressed concerns about late buses. We'd like to explain what is causing those issues and what we're doing to alleviate them.
It is true that our kids come first in Oldham County, not just in our school district, but across our entire community.
Our general assembly has raised the bar by adopting higher standards of achievement — however, our legislators have not held themselves accountable by making the courageous decisions necessary to fund our education system at a level sufficient to meet these expectations. A lack of support at the state level is crippling our district, making it more and more difficult for us to do what we do best: ensuring the learning of every child.
After spending my entire married life on hand-me-down mattresses, except for that brief period with a rent-to-own deal, I was ecstatic about choosing a brand new set. We had been discussing it for ages, knowing instinctively that a number of our aches and pains would subside if we weren't constantly fighting for the one spot in the bed that didn't sag to the floor.
Well cold weather is here and I feel it more than I used to feel it. As a youngster I could stay out all day playing in the snow. Even cold weather activities like ice skating, skiing, ice hockey, hunting or football games didn't bother me.
This is the best time of the year for soup; it is good all year but there is nothing better than a hot bowl of soup when it's cold outside. Soup makes a good meal with some good bread or crackers.
Special election
The Oldham County Clerk's Office wants to take this opportunity to inform all voters of upcoming special election information.
A special election in Precinct H106 (South Oldham Fire Station) will be held Tues, January 28, 2014, to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink at Yew Dell Gardens.
I have been told that I have a good sense of humor, but not at the expense of others. I do not laugh at people's mistakes, distresses or misfortunes. I feel compassion and look for ways to be supportive. I am less and less apt to engage in ridicule or sarcasm. I resist using comebacks when others are sarcastic toward me. I seek simply to feel the pain in both of us and look for ways to bring more mutual respect into our communication.
I want to have some fun and use math to discover just how much God loves us. Athletes like to talk in percentages about how much they give to help their team win. They talk about giving more than 100 percent, but is that even possible since 100 percent is as much as we can give? Does the same apply in everyday life?
To help make my point I want to give every letter of the alphabet a point value with "A" getting one point and "Z" getting 26 points and the rest correspond to their place in the alphabet. What equals 100 percent in life?

The zipper on my Ultrabreeze halfsuit seperates . I had the suit on and closed up tight. When it was time to take it off, I noticed that the right side of the zipper hood had come open. The fob(?) was under my chin, like it was supposed to be. But the zipper was open.
I got the suit off and tossed it in the truck and went home.
This morning I unzipped the hood and removed it and then tried to put it back on. Every time I got the zipper started I would get maybe 3 or 4 inches and the zipper would come apart behind the fob, or whatever you call the part that you pull.;
I'd hate to have to buy a new suit if this is fixable. The suit is about two years old. It gets used probably an average of maybe 30 hours a week. Any suggestions?

In my last column, I wrote about Gravity and the threat of thousands of shards of space debris ripping through America's orbiting satellites -- and the global governance challenge that poses. This column considers the more prosaic, though important, matter of how U.S. civilian and military officials think about national security space issues. Indeed, one common concern that I have heard from government space officials and staffers is that senior civilian officials rarely think about the domain at all. When they do, it is primarily about "stars and the space shuttle," as one State Department official described it, or that space is an unfettered celestial extension of the blue skies above them.
U.S. government officials' perception of space as an uncontested domain free for exploration and observation is starkly at odds with both reality and current U.S. space policy. Based on my recent conversations with space officials and experts, six aspects of current U.S. government thinking about space are worth considering.
1. Either someone in the intelligence community is lying, or they're on a totally different page.
It's difficult to know how to characterize the threat environment in space, in terms of the scope or intensity of threats, because intelligence officials offer widely contrasting viewpoints. In January, James Clapper, director of national intelligence, warned: "Threats to US space services will increase during 2014 and beyond as potential adversaries pursue disruptive and destructive counterspace capabilities." Then, in April, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, noted: "I think we're in really good shape with space.... I'm more confident today than I was a year ago with where we are going with our knowledge of space activities."

I prefer to use an Fiberglass Striker, Wingbone Striker or a Striker that I have prepared using JB Weld to make the tip of a Wooden Striker Weatherproof. If it is really wet you will most likely have to switch to a Glass, Aluminum, Carbon Fiber or Slatek type of call to get the best performance.
If your Pot Style Call(s) get totally soaked the best way to dry them out is to put them on top of a refrigerator and let them dry out slowly. If you dry them to fast the wood could crack or cup. The area on top of the Refrigerator is slightly warmer than the rest of the room which will allow your Call(s) dry out slowly preventing them from cupping.
I have used the Lighter or Candle method to dry out the Slate in a Turkey Call. Slate is like a sponge and will absorb moisture from the air. Here is the method that I use with no ill effects to the call (It will actually make most Slate type calls sound better). I normally do this at Camp the night before and then store all my Pot Style Friction Calls in Avery Double Call Cases to keep them clean and dry while I am moving through the woods.
1. Light a Candle or use a Butane Lighter (i.e. Bic).
2. Hold the Slate Call upside down in your hand.
3. slowly move the Slate Call toward the flame.
4. Center the Flame on the call. You will never touch the Flame to the call.
5. As soon as you are close enough, first a dot and then a ring will appear on the Slate.
6. This Ring will begin to grow and move toward the outside of the Slate. This whole process takes a very short time and if you expose the call to too much heat it could damage the glue holding the Slate or crack the Slate if it gets too hot. It will take a lot for this to happen
7. Once the ring grows and approaches the edge of the Slate, move the Call away from the Heat Source.
8. Allow Call to cool for a minute and then use a Maroon Scotchbrite Pad to clean Slate and remove soot.
9. Use your favorite Striker on the call and I think you will find that it sounds better than it did prior to doing this. I usually only do this 2-3 times during the season to keep my Slate Calls in top form.

I watched the second season for closure. I didn't watch it just for the gore. The storyline is pretty unique though the ending is pretty corny the stoyline by itself is a good reason to watch season two.
Besides that there are new OVA's being released, and they are labeled as a "Sequel" so technically you should watch season 2 before watching em.

Martina Cain, Saskatchewan Teacher, Accused Of Professional Misconduct
REGINA – Allegations of professional misconduct have been levelled against a Saskatchewan teacher who is accused of having sleepovers with a student, organizing a strip basketball practice and encouraging theft.
A notice from the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board in Regina says the allegations against Martina Cain cover a period between 1986 and 1989 and were made by a former student.
It's unclear where Cain was teaching at the time.
She was principal at Churchill Community High School in La Ronge as recently as 2015.
Cain is scheduled to appear before the board in early February.
If found guilty, she faces penalties that could include a suspension or cancellation of her teaching certificate, a fine, or possible restrictions on her work.
The board's notice contains a total of four allegations that span the years when the female student was in Grades 9 through 11.
Sleepovers in her bed
In one instance, the complainant alleges that over several months, she periodically slept in Cain's bed at the teacher's apartment when there was an early basketball practice, when she had argued with her parents or when her parents were away.
The notice said the first time this happened, Cain gave the student the option of sleeping on the floor or in bed with her, despite there being a couch in the apartment.
Encouraged student to steal
It's also alleged that Cain encouraged the student to steal a food tray from a fast-food restaurant during a basketball trip, which she did.
When the student was in Grade 10, Cain allegedly organized a practice for the girls basketball team in the school gym, where players had to remove some clothing for a missed free throw, or put some back on if they made the shot.
The notice said the girls covered the gym doors with paper and, in some cases, lost their shorts and their bras.
In the last instance – also during Grade 10 – it's alleged Cain invited the student to a hot tub at a home where she was house-sitting and told her to take off her bathing suit before getting in the water.
The hearing is to be held Feb. 7.
In October, 2012, Anderson was accused of having sex with four of her students and performing oral sex on three others.
Speer was accused in October, 2012 of having sex with one of her 17-year-old students on multiple occasions in the school's parking lot in Bryant, Ark.
An Arizona teacher's assistant accused of leaving her 6-year-old child with strangers so she could have sex with two men said she was driven by a "manic sexual rage," according to court documents.
This special education teacher in California was arrested in August, 2012, for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old former student. She was arrested and charged with sex crimes, but as of Aug. 14, was on paid administrative leave at the high school she worked.

In late March, 2012, Nicole Jacques allegedly had sex with her 15-year-old student several times in her apartment. None of the alleged abuse happened at Calvary Baptist School in Pennsylvania where she worked.
Cobb was arrested in March, 2012 for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student. She also allegedly exchanged 12,000 texts with the boy over the course of four months
Colorado school board member Stefanie Dickinson was charged with Internet luring of a child in September after she was caught sexting a 14-year-old boy. The boy reportedly told police he became uncomfortable after she would show up at his football games and tell him how sexy his smile was. She was arrested in October for sexual assault on another minor, also a student. Photo courtesy of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
As a substitute teacher in L.A.'s second-largest school district, George Hernandez was investigated three times for sexual misconduct with students.

Colorado high school physical education teacher and basketball coach Lauren Redfern was charged with sexual assault on a child by a person of a position of trust with a pattern of sexual abuse after suspicions arose that she was having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student over the course of 4 months. Though initial interviews with the victim indicate that their relationship was consensual, it will not deter the Sheriff's Office from pressing charges against Redfern.

University extends Humanitarian Relief Efforts Policy
Posted May 31, 2006; 11:38 a.m.
Princeton University has extended its Humanitarian Relief Efforts
Policy, which provides two weeks of paid leave for employees to
volunteer with agencies working in the Gulf Coast, until June 30, 2007.
The policy was announced last fall following the devastating hurricanes that struck the region. It was set to expire Aug. 31, 2006.
"Given the long-term projections for recovery in the Gulf Coast area and Princeton's continuing commitment to assist in recovery efforts for our partner institution, Dillard University, Princeton encourages its employees who wish to volunteer to discuss this policy and volunteer opportunities with their direct supervisors," said Lianne Sullivan-Crowley, vice president for human resources. "Whether taking advantage of this policy to travel or helping from afar, we appreciate Princeton employees' strong and ongoing support of those in need."
Princetonians have played a key role in helping Dillard, a historically black institution located in New Orleans, resume operations. Forced to shut down for the fall semester due to extensive damage, Dillard began offering classes again in January. Since September, Princeton and Brown universities have been working with Dillard officials in a variety of areas -- from donating computers to providing critical administrative support -- to help restore operations and assist in long-term planning.
Since the Humanitarian Relief Efforts Policy was instituted, 22 Princeton employees have volunteered in the region, devoting their time and skills to projects ranging from home rebuilding to supplies procurement to animal rescue. They have worked with agencies including the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
In addition to providing for paid leave, the policy was amended in March to include reimbursement for travel and other expenses incurred as a direct result of participation in recognized relief efforts.
More information about the policy is available on the Office of Human Resources Web site.

Analysis: Samsung "Copies" Apple's Launcher? A Dubious Claim at Best
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: AllPosters)
Apple was hardly the first to make a Dock/Launcher; if Samsung's Windows 8 launcher "stole", so did Steve Jobs
's Jesus Diaz wrote an intriguing headline "
Samsung Is Copying Apple's Dock In Their Win 8 Machines Too: Will They Ever Learn?
" Mr. Diaz comments:
I don't know if Samsung is now just taunting Apple or if their user interface "designers" are the same lazy idiots who copied the iPhone icons. In any case, this is getting hilarious. Or pathetic. Or disgusting. Or all of the above.
The premise is admittedly amusing. Is Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) really copying a patented and trademarked technology of Apple, Inc.'s (
)? Would it be that foolish after
losing a caustic verdict
in the smartphone space for allegedly lifting Apple features?
I. Who
Invented the Dock?
The answer is that it depends on your definition of "copied", and what your feelings on
a copy of a copy
are, as a brief history of the dock by
When MacOS landed in 1984 it had no Dock (Launcher). Arthur (1987) and RISC OS 2 (1989) -- operating systems from now-defunct ARM Holdings plc (
parent Acorn Computers
-- were perhaps the first to add the feature, albeit in crude VGA form:
Acorn Computers pioneered the dock. [Image Source: LunDuke]
Later in 1989, Steve Jobs (having left Apple and gone to work at NeXT) pulled a Picasso and "stole" the idea, adding a dock to his NeXTSTEP operating system:
Steve Jobs arrived late to the dock/launcher part in 1989. [Image Source: FutureTG]
OS/2 3.0 (1994) and CDE (1993) offered minor improvements to this familiar theme. But perhaps the most visually striking dock came in 2000 with AmigaOS 3.9's AmiDock, an operating system by German software firm Haage & Partner.
AmiDock was visually the most striking dock yet, made in 2000. [Image Source: LunDuke]
Lo and behold Steve Jobs -- having returned to Apple -- introduced a nearly identical dock to Amiga's in 2001 as part of the new MacOS X:
The Aqua interface (MacOS X beta "Kodiak") added a dock to Apple's operating systems at long last.
[Image Source: Wikimedia Commons]
Eventually that dock would evolve visually to its current form.
OS X Mountain Lion [Image Source: Apple]
But of course, Linux docks (which trace their roots to CDE, etc.) also have been actively evolving as well. Both Ubuntu (Canonical Ltd.) and Gnome Desktop have docks which rival that of OS X, and owe to their rich lineage:
Gnome Desktop (Ubuntu10.10 32-bit) [Image Source: YouTube]
II. Other Considerations : Did Samsung Infringe?
So is Samsung...
Samsung S Launcher [TechMynd]
...late to the dock party? The
piece and other similar pieces attacking Samsung do correctly point out that Apple acquired NeXTSTEP (by proxy its dock legacy and OS patent,
U.S. Patent No. 5,146,556
; filed Feb. 1991). But they seriously overlook the fact that NeXTSTEP and Steve Jobs were not the first to create the dock -- Acorn Computers was.
Now Apple does hold another broad patent --
U.S. Patent No. 7,434,177
-- on the features of OS X, including the dock. That patent was filed in Dec. 1999 and granted in 2008.
Some have interpreted
that to Apple "patenting" the dock/launcher. But in reality, it has made no effort yet to bring such enforcement and seems highly unlikely too; given the shaky historical ground it's on regarding prior art.
The Dock, as you can imagine, is patented.... Its design and functionality is credited to Bas Ording, Donald Lindsay and, drumroll, Steve Jobs.
However, the Dock is just a specific implementation detail in a broad patent regarding OS X. Apple didn't "patent the dock". It patented OS X, which includes a claim to a specific implementation of the dock. Likewise it holds a patent on NeXTSTEP's graphical user interface, and claims to a crude early Dock.
There often is a difference between a patent targeting a specific feature and a broad interface patent covering an entire system/user interface. Often the latter approach leads to a narrowing of claims. Thus this distinction should have been noted in the current coverage.
Also the patent itself contains a central claim:
1. A computer system comprising: a display; a cursor for pointing to a position within said display; a bar rendered on said display and having a plurality of tiles associated therewith; and a processor for varying a size of at least one of said plurality of tiles on said display when said cursor is proximate said bar on said display and for repositioning others of said plurality of tiles along said bar to accommodate the varied size of said one tile.
...which is slowly expanded upon in later claims. The core of the claim is resizing tiles and repositioning the tiles, via moving the others. The Samsung S Launcher does not appear to have either functionality.
Apple did not patent a bar with icons.
It patented specific animations of its task bar (Dock) icons. Samsung does not appear to be overstepping this by simply having a more Dock/Launcher with static icons and a transparent back because that is
not the invention claimed in the in Apple patent
And besides this and the prior art issue, Microsoft Corp. (
) has
a broad cross-licensing pact
with Apple and tends to zealously defend its Windows OEMs. So it would likely not take kindly to Apple suing a Windows 8 device maker for a semi-similar design in a field with plentiful prior art.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

I don't recall which states, but if you don't believe me I can look through 2005 and find out where.
Wing Saber makes Armada Overload seem articulated. He's deffinately meant to be combined. I think he looks cool just standing there, and I like his combo with Prime quite a lot.
Interesting note: Sharkticon, Tow-Line and Energon Strongarm(repaint) are all being released in Japan as USA editions.. which means they probably won't be in the show.
Oh. Heh. Lot's of new proto's here, including Grimlock and Swoop.. I won't comment too much though, I don't like to judge these things from bad pictures.
I don't however think these will be for "TF: Cybertron." It's just way to early me thinks.

These clever roll-ups, great for appetizers or a quick snack, use prepared dressing and deli items to go together fast.
Next time, use smoked turkey or ham instead of the roast beef and Cheddar cheese in place of the Swiss.
To make ahead, prepare, cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour.

When your guests walk through the door they'll want to start with a bit of something before you get into dinner. Do some research (ideally tasting research) and find a selection of British cheeses to offer.
You may not be able to snap your fingers and make the Downton Abbey castle appear, but making your place British-themed is the next best thing.
Besides, you've always wanted a reason to buy a pillow with Queen Elizabeth's profile on it.
Tweed! That's right, gentlemen, get your tweed on or at the very least a spiffy suit.
As much as we'd all love to don those gorgeous dresses the Crawley ladies wear on the show, most of us just don't have that in our wardrobe. Second best, and almost as fun, are feather headpieces or flower-covered large-brimmed hats. Oooh... don't you look like a Countess now!
When your guests walk through the door they'll want to start with a bit of something before you get into dinner. Do some research (ideally tasting research) and find a selection of British cheeses to offer.
What's a Downton Abbey inspired drinking game without British beer?
Although these little things are traditionally more appropriate for a lunch or picnic, they'd still be a fun appetizer to follow the cheese plate. You know, because Dowager Countess of Grantham fancies them.
Yes, you read that correctly. The Brits do love their beef and they do love their beer, so it only makes sense to combine the two.
If you end up making this, let us know how it tastes. It looks a wee bit shady and definitely not something the Crawleys might dine upon, but hey, it has Guinness in it and a flakey crust! Win-win.
Look at that layered dish of fun! Trifle is a tradition British dessert and is so easy to make.
Even if you don't have a trifle dish to show off all the lovely layers, any large bowl will do. It's just layers of cake, pudding, fruit, cream and all over again until you reach the top. It's decadent and can serve a bunch of people easily.
Nothing says "I'm fancy and I'm at Downton Abbey" like a proper after-dinner drink like brandy.
For those who aren't in to brandy, Earl Grey tea would be a most gracious option for the teetotalers.
And what's tea without crumpets? Not much.
Although you and your guests may be full, you may want to put out a few crumpets for those all-night-long nibblers.
Even if you're not fortunate to have an entire staff to clean up after your every mood, it's still fun to pretend.
You could tape this photo to yourself while you do the dishes and wash the trifle stains out of the carpet. It's all about being creative, people.

Group: Modern Life Modern Vision
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: The railway bridge at Argenteuil
Date Made: 1874
Lender: Philadelphia Museum of Art
Credit Line: The John G. Johnson Collection
Monet painted two views of The railway bridge at Argenteuil seen from below at a sharp angle. One was painted in brilliant sunshine, the other in grey light. Hiroshige's Tile kilns and Hashiba Ferry, Sumida River, suggest a source for Monet's representation of the plume of smoke as a shape rather than as a blur, in such a way that it becomes another dynamic force in a structure of linear forces. The colour structure of a yellow bridge set against blueness in Hokusai's The drum bridge at the Kameido Tenjin Shrine also relates to Monet's painting, as does the juxtaposition between the bridge and the horizontal band of hard gold-tinted clouds and the decorative placing of green foliage.
Monet exploited the Japanese artist's juxtaposition between the flowing river and daring close-ups of man-made structure to express the staccato, fragmentary visual 'shock' associated with modernity — the moment when the train bursts into view as it crosses the iron and concrete bridge that slices across the river and into the distant bank, with no subtle transition between the organic and the manufactured. Hokusai created a similar effect in his pre-industrial Under the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa.
The marks in Hiroshige's The 'Monkey Bridge' in Kai Province suggest the leaves of trees, the striations on the cliffs, the ripples on the water, the grassy mounds in the distance with a multiplicity of dark lines. It is tempting to write of these marks as brushstrokes, but they are in fact the impress of the woodblock. Monet recognised that such marks could help him to articulate the energies in natural forms, but he always handled them in terms of oil paint. For example, in The railway bridge at Argenteuil, he laid in a broad area of green in the foreground, over which he painted small articulating strokes, squiggly lines and dabs of paint that suggest shadows in the grass, the curve of a hidden path, the interweaving of grasses and foliage. He gave animation to the bright blue wedge of water by superimposing a multiplicity of smaller strokes that represent the flicker of light over the mobile surface; the reflections of lit and shadowed forms; the golden glow reflected under the bridge.

The City, County and the Regional Transportation Authority have teamed up to create an extensive plan to provide access to cycling, walking, hiking trails. These amenities are designed for both residents and visitors to enjoy. The vision/goal is to create more livable communities—communities where people get out to enjoy outdoor recreation as well as promote a more "green" environment.
Some portions of the plan are completed. View or download the plan and information about the Corpus Christi Bay Trail
Improvements and continued development projects of City parks and facilities is made possible through the following funding resources:
Bonds - Voter approved proposed enhancement projects paid for with local tax dollars.
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) - A flexible grant program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs.
Texas Parks & Wildlife Grants - The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acts as a silent partner in hundreds of communities across the state through its grant, assistance, education, and outreach programs.
Community Enrichment Funds Projects funded through fees paid by developers.
Partnership Funds - These projects include funding through Community Involvement:
We are always looking for a few good men and women to join our Park Crews. View the Jobs Flyer for more details.
The Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department is responsible for overseeing 2,100 acres of developed and undeveloped open spaces (parks, City beaches, natural habitats, etc.) and facilities (recreation centers, pools, gyms, ball fields, senior centers, tennis and golf courses, etc.) to enrich the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
The Oso Bay Wetlands Preserve & Learning Center is a 162-acre nature preserve that is filled with life. We look forward to sharing the wonders of the natural world with you. We invite families, students, and nature lovers to join us in exploring the trails and learning with us or on your own. Visitors will learn about the importance of protecting this area now and for future generations to enjoy. Read more.
The Adopt-a-Park program is a meaningful way for businesses, groups and volunteers to showcase their commitment to the community. The first step towards adopting a park is completing the Application. If you're uncertain about the area or park you would like to adopt, review the list of parks in the upper right column. Once you have selected a park and completed the application, submit a copy to Darren Gurley, Park Operations Supervisor, at firstname.lastname@example.com, and the process towards adopting a park will begin thereafter.

6/9 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report PLUS Flats wade Tips:
6/9 S.E. Fishing Report:
If you wish to be happy for eight days, kill your pig and eat it. If you wish to be happy for a lifetime, learn to fish. (Chinese Proverb)
Laura, Judy and myself gave today's fishing 2 thumbs down. We found it difficult to sight fish with the windy chop. This also caused the water to become cloudy or stained, which did not help with visibility. We did see some fish and hooked up with one blue fish, but that was it. Did not see another angler hook-up all day. Talked with a few other angler's fishing the S.E. part of the cape that had about the same experience as us. I hope somebody found'm, cause I sure couldn't! Today's fishing was better than a sharp stick in the eye, but not by much! (he-he)
I would like to share with you some of my thoughts on sight fishing the many Cape Cod Flats.
We were all new once. (I dont know if I can remember back that far) So it is understandable when you walk out waist, chest deep onto a flat, on an incoming tide, light breeze, sun behind you and start to blind cast.
Several things happen when this style of fishing is implemented under these conditions:
First and most important is:
You are standing where the fish are living, eating and traveling. So you are really only hurting your own odds. Would you feel comfortable with a giant standing in your path? This same oddity happens on the Salmon River, N.Y. in certain areas. On this river it sometimes halts the run of King Salmon, Steelhead and forces them backwards. Again, not only hurting your chances of hooking into a fish of a lifetime but also others above you.
Secondly, Once these fish are spooked by the noise you generate by blind casting and moving about only decreases the odds of your fellow anglers hooking up. These fish will not eat consistently on any flat if spooked.
Standing waist deep or deeper on most flats will normally cut down on the size of your visual cone. This normally is a major disadvantage to yourself as the object is to see the fish as far away as possible, determine its project path and lead the fish with your fly. Thereby, achieving one of the most crucial keys to success on the flats, which is to allow your fly to sink to eye level of the fish. Anytime, any species of fish (that I know of), anywhere in the world that you can make it easier for a fish to feed you will increase you catch rate. Waist deep is normally to deep-you are standing where they travel.
The other by product of standing to deep is your visual cone is so small by the time you sight you quarry, its already seen you and spooked or you do not have enough time to get onem.
One of the funnier things I see on the flats is when several anglers are waist deep or deeper, standing 20 feet apart, sight fishing or blind casting away for all they are worth. Knowing very well that all the fish are swimming behind them. I USED TO DO IT.
There have been times due to the angle of the sun where we have actually waded out 50 feet from the flats shoreline in knee-deep water and faced the beach. Casting into 1 foot of water as school after school passes us by. Its also interesting to watch the reaction of other anglers when they stop, look and scratch their heads. Trying to figure out why there is a guy standing on a ladder, who is excitedly pointing and speaking (politely) about fish at 11 oclock, 30 feet, moving right! And then 2 anglers casting their fly into what looks like dry sand. He-he
I normally will stand no deeper than thigh deep. Ive been guilty of setting up to deep, then realizing my mistake as I see fish swimming behind me or right at me. By standing thigh deep (on most flats) I guarantee that you will see them traveling 20-80 feet out. I will also guarantee that you will at times see them swimming behind you. Remember that if the sun allows you to look 360 degrees, then do it.
Happy hook'n,
Randy Jones

Family: Bufonidae, Toads view all from this family
Description Dark brown-olive green. Shiny smooth skin. White warts on corners of mouth. Warty glands on hind legs. Whitish underbelly.
Dimensions 7.7-17.9cm. (3-7")
Warning Toads have enlarged glands (called the paratoid glands) on the side of the neck, one behind each eye. These glands secrete a viscous white poison that gets smeared in the mouth of any would-be predator, inflaming the mouth and throat and causing nausea, irregular heart beat, and, in extreme cases, death. Toads pose a danger to pets, which may pounce on and bite them. Humans should take care to wash their hands after handling a toad, and to avoid touching the mouth or eyes until having done so.
Voice Low-pitched toot. 1 second long.
Breeding May-July. Breeds after seasonal rainfall.
Habitat Damp areas near springs in Deserts.
Range S. California into Mexico.
Discussion Psychoactive toad. Diet of small rodents, insects, and small reptiles and other toad species. Glands produce enough toxin to kill a cricket.

Group: The Series
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Poplars
Date Made: 1891
Lender: Philadelphia Museum of Art
Credit Line: Gift of Chester Dale
Monet's compositional structure based on dynamic coloured line is fully developed in his Poplars series. Such a structure meant that he no longer needed the linear grid, inspired by Japanese prints, to control his mobile viewpoints (as in The railway bridge at Argenteuil). The Poplars did not depend Japanese images of lines of silhouetted trees, such as Eisen's Itahana or Hokusai's Hodogaya on the To¯kaido¯ Road.
Poplars (exhibited in 1892 with the title, Poplars. Three trees — autumn) is constructed from smaller brushstrokes of brilliant warm colours that radiate energy. The trunks of the closest trees are formed from broadly drawn coloured lines, violet contrasting with yellow and orange, while the foliage and trunks of the distant trees are drawn in iridescent lines of yellow and orange, dynamic in their upward thrust and the contrast of orange and yellow against luminous transparent patches of saturated green, violet and blue representing the sky. Each painting is full of a coloured light so intense that it could confirm Duret's claim that the Japanese 'saw in the open air a scale of brilliant colours that the European eye had never seen, and, left to itself, would probably never have discovered'.

…at least relative to the S&P 500.
It's not just that they've lagging the U.S. benchmark, or that they've fallen this year while the S&P 500 has climbed higher. It's that the underperformance is reaching critical levels.
This chart shows the price of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) versus the price of the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY). When the line is falling, emerging-market stocks are underperforming the S&P 500 and vice versa.
As you can see, after two-and-a-half years of underperformance, the price of EEM relative to SPY has dropped to levels last seen during the depths of the financial crisis.
In a note released on May 15, Bespoke Investment Group blamed the underperformance on falling commodity prices:
