China IP debate: "Everyone's afraid their tech will be stolen. . ."
Junko Yoshida
BEIJING – China wants Western technology. It also wants to export its own technology to the West. The key question is whether the rest of the world will be willing to go along given the widely held belief that China is the "knockoff capital of the universe."
When Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park, China's foremost high-tech cluster located in Beijing's Haidian district, held its annual conference here this week, organizers boldly put "technology transfer" at the top of their agenda. More than 2,000 attendees showed up, including Chinese government officials and academics along with executives from the U.S., Europe and elsewhere in Asia.

For China, technology transfer is essential to narrowing the innovation gap. It's critical to Beijing's global strategy, according to both international and Chinese representatives at the forum.
Beijing, on one hand, demands active development of indigenous technologies by setting a lofty national goal for Chinese scientists and engineers to file 2 million patents annually by 2015. Still, China is keenly aware of its chronic technology gap with the West, and knows that it can't catch up by going it alone.
IP rights were a hot topic at the Zhongguancun Haidian Science Park conference.
Caught between what seems like two contradictory approaches to IP protection (internal development vs. technology transfer), one Chinese attendee asked the panel (above): "To what extent should we rely on foreign countries for innovations?"
Next: Borrowed innovation
I don't buy the bit about three different ypes of innovation, frankly. In my view, innovation is always more like the last ietm listed. You're always building on something that came before. I'll bet even the wheel was invented when some clever guy got tired of moving round logs constantly, and decided to try to keep that round thing attached to the heavy object.
But there are limits to how much one can copy verbatim with impunity, and clearly China has yet to internalize that limit. Reputations, both good and bad, are built for very good reasons, almost always.
Bert, you've got a good point here.
The issue is how one defines the "borrowed/digested/reinvented" model.
When I asked the panel, "what can China do to convince the world it's serious about IPR protection," here's what
Pekin Univ.'s Chen said: "I am not a lawyer. So I am not sure how much of Chinese law should be changed." But he quickly added, "I think the penalty for IPR infringement is too low in China. It has to be higher. I predict that IP litigation will increase in China."
More lawyers filing more lawsuits is not anyone's ideal scenario, but in China it might be a necessary growing pain, if only to test the fairness of China's evolving legal system, Prof. Chen explained.
A contact of mine is an IP lawyer, and her feel is the same as mine: the Chinese divide the world into Chinese and "Everybody else", and a different set of rules apply if you *aren't* Chinese.
If I were an American tech outfit interested in working in China, I'd be at pains to carefully select my Chinese partner *and* to make sure my partner had the appropriate contacts in the Chinese government. My partner would need to see the tech I was supplying and it's relationship with me as critical to its own success, and the government would need to view the relationship as important to China's success.
If those were both true, I might have a hope of success, and some actual protection for my IP. Otherwise, you get the comment made by an American executive re IP in China, who said "Bring suit against a Chinese company in a Chinese court for IP violation, and tell me what you get."
And forging that relationship would not be a quick process, as it would require personal contact between my top people and theirs over a period of time. I recall a story elsewhere about an American working on a deal with a Chinese company, where a prolonged amount of informal social contact, drinking tea, and admiring pictures of each other's kids was needed before getting down to business, because the first question the Chinese CEO had was "Can I work with this guy? Do we get along well enough as people to be able to work together as partners?" (It's a question I think most US executives don't consider till a failure of personal realtionships bites the business.)
I'd assume the same trying to work with China now.
China doesn't yet have the rule of law, let alone the rule of IP law. They have good laws but everyone ignore them. They are too free, they can do whatever they want. The government doesn't want to spend time enforcing the law as long as the law breakers are not against the government.
The West can afford to advocate democracy and freedom because the people obey traffic lights. Traffic-light obeying people are considered to be fools over there.
Very good point, and very good analogy with the traffic lights. I actually came to a similar conclusion, when all the baby formula scandal and lead in children's toys stories were in the news.
With capitalism there has to be an associated measure of responsibility, which comes with penalties for violations of the law. It's not as simple as grab grab grab.
To me, it's almost like saying that to compensate for the reduced government control of everything comes an increase in self control, with penalties when this self control is not exerted.
"To me, it's almost like saying that to compensate for the reduced government control of everything comes an increase in self control, with penalties when this self control is not exerted."
Whenever people live together in groups, there must be agreement on what behavior is acceptable, or the group does not survive. And there will be controls in place to enforce behavior. In some cases the controls will be internal - people will do or not do things voluntarily, because of their beliefs about what is right and wrong. In other cases, the controls will be external, like laws prohibiting or regulating some kinds of behavior, with punishment by your society if you break them. (Or both, with laws specifying punishments for those expected to know what is right and wrong who go ahead and do wrong anyway.)
Part of the issue for China is that the social agreement on acceptable behavior that worked when China was still largely isolated from the world does not work in a global economy that has different expectations. They are still learning the rules the rest of the world plays by in activities like this, and the process will be slow with bumps in the road. You don't change ingrained cultural patterns quickly.
C VanDorne
It is interesting, this phrase: "the social agreement on acceptable behavior". I think that we'd all benefit from quantifying that.
I'll start with this question: What kind of respect for Intellectual Property (by default a very personal thing) can we expect from a people who have been tought by 62 years of communism that there is no such thing as personal property?
C VanDorne:
That's the interesting question. But fundamentally, this is not about personal property, it's about *institutional* property. Even under Communism, there was personal property, but more important, the means of production were owned and controlled by the state.
The underlying issue is one I mentioned earlier. For most if its history, China was largely isolated from the rest of the world. Trade occurred, but at nowhere near the current volume. Chinese saw themselves as the oldest and most advanced civilization on the planet. The world was Chinese and "everybody else", and if you weren't Chinese, different rules applied to you. (This is not unique to China: look at any human culture in history, and I think you'll find notions of Us and Them, where *we* expect certain behavior from each other, but *they* are fair game.)
Chinese will think first and foremost of the betterment of China. A Chinese may not understand why there is anything wrong with taking IP provided by a Western firm and redistributing it internally. The providers are not Chinese. The rules governing such things in China among Chinese simply may not apply.
Integration into the global economy requires fundamental changes in the underlying patterns of Chinese society, like understanding and respect for the concept of IP and the idea that taking it and redistributing it without formal permission is theft. The note from the previous poster about DVDs for sale with pirated copies of commercial software, and the notion that the physical DVD had value but what was on it did not is an example of the hurdles to be run. There are folks in the *West* who will feel that only material goods are "property", and IP is a legal fiction to be ignored if there is a benefit from doing so.
The fundamental problem is that change of underlying patterns like that does not and *cannot* happen quickly. Full integration of China with the global community will be a long and often painful process.
I think transfer is a euphemism for "theft". China if they want technology, need to put the big bucks where their party mouth is. No one will hand you over their IP. China needs to spend the money and resources necessary to develop their own IP. Otherwise, China will be stuck in their "cheap manufacturer" of the world paradigm. Just like the US has spent the time and money to develop technology that the market wants, China needs to follow suit, otherwise the Chinese strategy has plateaued and isn't going to get the wantabees any further towards owning key patents and know how that other countries will want and use. Communist party edicts don't work outside the chinese sphere of influence.
That brings up a good question: In the short term (whatever that means) does China think it can gain more by maintaining lax IP protection than by going the tried but hard R&D route?
Ans: Maybe..
@ Junko, hey , just a reminder, watch out for your safety in recent days if you are in china.
the mob might get on you if they know your origin.
it's sad but true.
Untrue so far to my knowledge - only Japanese shops and products have been targetted, not Japanese individuals.
Over the last 20 years I've spent a great deal of time in and done business with "China". I will agree that it is very important to "get to know" who you are working with (I in fact know the wives and children of the people I do business with and agree on this point entirely). I trust the people I work very much; however, again, this is after working with them for many years. I have associates that have been "bitten" by the "borrowed IP" and have paid dearly for it. People in the USA do not realize the extent to which "they think differently"; the traffic light example is a good one (I once watched a driver drive down the wrong side of the road because of congestion on the "right" side of the road and did so with impunity). I was once at a "CD" store looking for a particular piece of music (an all-girl group playing traditional Chinese instruments performing Western music) when I saw an entire display for "software". One DVD contained Solidworks, Pro/E, Photoshop, etc. The DVD cost US$5.00. When I asked my friend how they got away with it he said "They only consider the actual DVD to be of value, not what's on it". I had a very frank talk with him (he was also a vendor of mine) about piracy and how I felt about it (I make my living from IP). This talk escalated to the level to which we ferreted out any pirated software that was being used in his company and they bought licenses for everything, while I was there. It was a matter of making them understand a different point of view. I'm not going to say they are (were) "angels" and for all I know they may have let their licenses lapse. -CONTINUED-
My point is if we are going to "do" anything about this problem we have to change the way people think. Many USA companies would never dream of asking "Are all your software licenses in order and can you prove it? Can we do an audit?". They simply want to know that the work will be performed and and cost as little as possible; regardless of "how" it gets there. Another example (and then I'm done); after 15 years I finally got up the nerve to ask my friend why the bathrooms are so absolutely disgusting (if you've ever been there you know what I mean). He said "They think the bathrooms are clean"...
I have to comment on one other thing; materials and testing. I know this from experience working in the "toy" business. There is a great deal of testing done on toys, more than the "average consumer" can begin to realize. If you want a surprise call Bureau Veritas and ask them to send you the list of potential tests for "toys" (there is category after category). Before a toy can be sold every aspect of it must be tested. On top of this, most "big" (think top three) companies require you to submit the results of independent testing as well as have their own internal tests facilities where they supposedly "test" incoming product. In my experience, there is no way (wish we had italics), NO WAY someone in the USA didn't know that there was lead in those toys. I'm not a "conspiracy" person but it is so much easier to blame someone on the other side of the world and claim "We didn't know" then to a.)have a recall and b.) find out an "American" let this stuff "slip" through and now (s)he loses their job, sets the company up for lawsuits, and maybe criminally at fault, etc. Better to just point the finger and claim stupidity.
Don't sell silicon IP into China with anything more restrictive than "unlimited use" terms. Just sayin'...
China got spoiled by open access to Western technology & business methodology for the last 2 decades since Tian An Men massacre. This happened because Western Corp.s were misled by Consultants ( like Henry Kissinger who has been on China's payroll perhaps since 1971 ) into walkin into the trap. Thanks to active goading from Wall St. that is motivated by the high margins possible with China's still regimented low - cost labor, US Corp.s like Motorola, GM & GE gave away the store and are on the verge of collapse. This is very much like how China pilfered Defense technology from the Soviet Union and then in 1970 attacked them. China is a nuclear armed continental power with neo-Imperialist ambitions - it is not a vassal state like Japan. By following the same outourcing model with China as with the tiny Asian Tigers, Wall St. and US traders have clearly overplayed their hands . The Chinese like to skin animals alive and eat their twitching flesh. The US had better pay heed before its too late.
Morten C
I just don't get it? Why is anyone afraid their IP will be stolen; you can rest assured that it will be stolen. Sad but true. The West has grown fat feed by cheap labour and natural resources (causing enormous environmental impact) in China. Short term it was cheaper to rely on China than to develop sustainable manufacturing at home. Now it's payback time.
I've been warning about the Chinese manufacturing trap for years.
But...I just want to give remind people that it was the West that invaded the Eastern countries like China and India and looted their wealth and IP. Indians made the best steel in the world and had the monopoly on cotton export. I don't have to mention the Opium wars that ruined China.
Americans think that history began when they were born. Old countries like China have memories that go back for centuries. The feeling of humiliation from the European and Japanese invasions is still fresh in their minds. So they think little of our needs for IP protection -- it's nothing compared to poisoning of millions with Opium. Until the Chinese achieve a sense of comfort with their new status, they will continue to "get even with the West (and Japan)"
One other thing, if you go back in history you'll find that America was considered a big IP thief. We didn't uphold copyrights until the late 1800s, and we blatantly stole technology for industrial machinery from the Europeans (who themselves stole from each other).
"But...I just want to give remind people that it was the West that invaded the Eastern countries like China and India and looted their wealth and IP. Indians made the best steel in the world and had the monopoly on cotton export."
It's a little more complicated than that.
Britain imposed high tariffs on Indian cotton to protect the domestic wool trade. But with the industrial revolution, they started applying capital to manufacturing. The spinning jenny and the powered loom were notable examples, which vastly increased productivity. British cotton became *cheaper* than Indian cotton, which was still a mostly manual industry, and effectively destroyed the Indian cotton trade. Something very similar happened to Indian steel.
The West industrialized. India and China did not. The results were quite predictable.
Some historical context:
Interestingly, even though the topic might sound like a technical one, the issue is actually more social rather then technical. There's one fundamental difference between Chinese and Western philosophies: in China nation and country are everything and individual is nothing. This was always the traditional mentality that got strengthened by decades of communist ruling. In the West it's almost the other way around with governments always struggling to find a balance. This difference creates and will continue to create enormous compatibility issues. Just like some of the Natives in America do not accept lend ownership, Chinese do not understand how it can be your "property" only because you came up with it. You live in a society that demands sharing and so all your ideas belong to the society, not to you.
Interesting analogy with traffic lights. So many times I was in a situation when I approach an intersection facing red. I can clearly see at least 300 meters in each direction and there's none anywhere on the roads. And yet I stop and wait for the green because there may be hidden camera or police car in hideout. Now, in all honesty who can tell me this is not stupid? In China you may cross on red and if all goes well - good for you, but if you screw up - none will be there to defend you and you will have to face full consequence of your act. That's why Chinese are more prepared to make their own decisions without counting on the big brother and they will always decide on the spot if it is for their benefit to use "your" IP. They will not wait for a permission! Then again, because it's the big thing and long perspective that matters most there, they will keep pushing and building their own "civilized and advanced" environment and IP will be a part of it. It will certainly take a long time, fortunately or not none of us will live to see them catch up with the West. But in the end it's only a matter of time as long as they keep pushing for it.
Question for the board: What happens when the Chinese get caught, red-handed, stealing IP. Like in the case of AMSC? That is not borrowed IP, that was stolen and they had a "good" relationship with partners in China, knew their kids, wives....that didn't stop them from the royal screw job AMSC suffered, hundreds of employees now losing their homes and out of jobs forced to relocate for work? What will happen when they get caught? What price will Sinovel pay, if any?

Comparing & ordering fractions worksheets and lessons
Comparing Fractions Worksheets and Lessons
How to compare and order fractions?
All the objects around us are not alike, most of things are different than each other. We can notice the difference on basis of size, color, visibility and shape. There are many ways to tell the difference in objects around us, and one way is to relate numbers to objects.
Young kids know the whole numbers and they can order and compare these numbers easily. But when it comes to ordering fractions, most kids feel difficulty doing it.
For ordering and comparing fractions, this post contains some cool tips and tricks. Students need to know the numerator, denominator, least common denominator and equivalent fractions to compare and order fractions.
If students want to do the comparing and ordering fractions easily, then they need to know the following tips.
If fractions have the same denominators:
When you want to compare fractions, always look if they got the same denominators. If they have got the like denominators then it is very easy to compare these fractions.
To compare and order fractions with similar denominators, we compare the numerators only. Let's do an example to make it clearer.
Order 3/6, 1/6, 5/6 and 2/6 from least to greatest.
All the given fractions have the same denominator which is 6. To compare such kind of fractions is a piece of cake. Just look at the numerators and order these fractions in the increasing order of numerators.
The required order of fractions is given below:
1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 5/6 is the answer for least to greatest.
If fractions have the different denominators:
When ordering and comparing unlike fractions, the bottom line is equivalent fraction. In other words the understanding of equivalent fractions is crucial to order or compare fractions with unlike denominators
If two or more fractions, we want to compare have the different denominators, then we need to change these fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominators. For example; if we want to compare 3/4 and 5/7, we have to address their denominators first. In other words we have to make their denominators same.
Let's convert 3/4 and 5/7 into two equivalent fractions with same denominators. For this look at both the denominators, which are 4 and 7. Now 28 is the least common multiple of 4 and 7. So, we have to change both the fractions with a common denominators of 28, as shown below:
(3 x 7)/(4 x 7) = 21/28
(5 x 4)/(7 x 4) = 20/28
Hence 3/4 is equivalent to 21/28 and 5/7 is an equivalent fraction to 20/28. Now, 21/28 and 20/28 are like fractions and 21/28 is larger. As 21/28 is equivalent to 3/4, hence 3/4 is greater than 5/7
So, for comparing and ordering fractions, the understanding of equivalent fractions is a valuable skill.

They are longer bongs with a neck long enough to rest the bowl on your chest while you smoke and the bowl sits low enough and at a proper angle to prevent water from coming up the pipe. Also are usually meant to be lay down as their storage position, which means they are very stable and would be very difficult to tip.

hi everyone,
i'm trying to compare two XML files that have the same structure. My question is: How can i do to show the difference between the two XML files. Any solutions?
Best regards.
I did this example with two CSV file, with the same structure but with some differents values.
I've used a tUnite and after a tUniqRow.
I've used all the field as Key attribute in the tUniqRow.
As output use the Duplicates flow to see all the similar values.
However if file1 and file2 have a same row= [a,a] you will see this row two times.
So I added a tAggregateRow and the groupby function in it for each field

and here is the variables regarding the tFileCompare_1 settings:
Can you help me to resolve my problem, this is the error message:
Last edited by pegaz (2008-03-07 11:09:04)
you can try with two tfile list.
In each tFilelist you specified the directory and the name file
After you can use ((String)globalMap.get("tFileList_1_CURRENT_FILEPATH")) & ((String)globalMap.get("tFileList_2_CURRENT_FILEPATH"))
I need to compare 2 XML files. Actually, I can do this, show if the files differ or not and how many lines do they differ.
My question is: How can i identify which row do they differ and what is the id. Let's consider this example:
xml1: xml2:
id= 12 id= 12
first_name= MACKLEY first_name= MACKLEY
last_name= bob last_name= david
I want to see as a result: the 2 XML files differ/ they differ on: last_name / the id= 12
I'm thinking that it would be a really good idea to developp a new component that permits to compare two files row by row.
Please wait for a talend team opinion but I think it will be an option to put it into the buggtracker

FOXING; (verb) 'To Fox'
The art of going into places you shouldn't, taking things you oughtn't to, and doing things that in most countries are probably just a tiny bit illegal. Acts are usually performed while under cover of darkness, with an MO directed in a more lighthearted vein, as opposed to an operation of terror or destruction. Can also be used to describe an outing of mischief. Similar to reality hacking, urban infiltration/urban exploration, and parkour, but with the added bonus of 'finding' random items to be 'purchased' as trophies for well-run missions. Sample Activities and Term Usage;
1. Finding an 'open' door to an office and 'purchasing' a half-dozen paperclips from the workstation for trophies. Perhaps if time, rearranging important looking papers that were found in the 'unlocked' filing cabinet and drawing smiley faces in the centre of each one. Take the umbrella. 2. Collecting goslings. ...I don't think this one needs any explaination. 3. Deviant #1: "Man, we should go Foxing!" Deviant #2: "Yeah! I love Foxing! So when do we start?" Deviant #1: "Right now. Behind three locked doors, past a rabid pirate, and down a pitch-black ventilator shaft, there's an elastic band waiting with my name on it. You in?" Deviant #2: "Yeah! But what do I get?" Deviant #1: "...Uh, you can have the post-it pad." Deviant #2: "Yeah! I love post-its!" Deviant #1: "..." |
2. | Foxing | ||
To fox can be anything from roaming with your bro's, to doin' it for Dale.
also to make sweet love to a babe... or man if that's what you're into. And the act of inhaling Marijuana(a.k.a. foxables) Example 1. "Damn man, they're just foxin' the night away in there"
Example 2. Person 1, "Dude, let's fox" Person 2, "Foxxx" Example 3. Person 1, "I'm lookin' to fox tonight" Person 2, "I brought Pooky" Example 4, "Foxing is a way of life, more of a religion, if you may" |
3. | foxing | ||
political and media term derived from the strategy of unfair and unbalanced media reporting solely for the purpose of killing any candidate that does not agree with the big business mantra. Derivation orignally from FOX network. While it is the global big business interest pulling the strings, terms such as "gay marriage," "illegal aliens," "tax and spend liberal" and "abortion" are used as buzz words in foxing a candidate, while big business uses the buzz word "conservative" to conceal it's real identity.
the talking heads have been foxing Obama all month.
5. | Foxing | ||
to pretend to be asleep when someone checks on you.
6. | foxing | ||
The act of sneaking around about something "that dude is foxin' bout somethin'and I'm going to find out what the fuck it is"
(beware: foxing may result in you getting your bitchass kicked, take extreme caution when doing this.) |

Also another Pony Swag remix.
1.) Art of the Thrash (Megadeth vs. My Little Pony)
2.) She's At the Gala Now (My Little Pony vs. Reel Big Fish)
3.) Pony Swag (Good Cheer Mix)
*headbangs to the first*
An interesting mix indeed... The lyrics are so bouncy, and the music is so... thrashy. :)
#2 honestly wasn't mixed that well. But I'm such a big fan of Both Songs in it I can't help but love it.
The first two were kind of meh, but the Pony Swag was epic!
Hanger 18. Rueened. Could've picked a lesser Megadeth song like... Oh I dunno. Prince of Darkness. Turn it into Princess of Darkness. Lol.
I was really surprised how well "At the Gala" goes with ska music, especially Raibow Dash's part. The only part that didn't really seem to fit was Twilight Sparkle's.
Fuck the first was horrible
NEVER EVER mix Ponies with Thrash Metal AGAIN
Thrash metal is amazing and you just shit all over it!
The third one. I can never take off my headphones again.
Somepony mash up Walk Like An Egyptian and Winter Wrap Up NAO!!! It works so well!!!
Argh... Medadeth is like my favorite band ever, and Im really bummed I didnt enjoy it at all... Id suggest using a better song than Hangar 18 (maybe Tornado of Souls. Its a higher pitched song)
Agreed. Love the third one. The first two were pretty cool, but that mix, brony... Amazing.
Tornado of Souls is the only Deth song better than Hanger 18.
Wasn't patricularly fond of the first two. I liked the backing track for #3 but I don't feel like it melds well with the vocals.
I think this is the first music post that I haven't downloaded anything from.
It seems like vinyl scratch is having an easier time with the cello than octavia.
Can't say I was expecting dubstep on number three. I like it.
Megadeth was wicked. \m/
Second one had a good ska feel
Third one I didn't like at all too much going on not a good flow.
"Art of the Thrash"
And then I saw the third one.
Does anyone have a bucket I can borrow? I can't seem to hold all this win by myself.
I felt a little like number 3 needed a bigger drop after "LOUDER!" a bit of an opportunity missed. But that's just me. Otherwise, nicely done.
I agree. There were a few impact points in the third that weren't utilised to their full potential, though it was still very well done overall.
Since the last two aren't my genre picking at them would be unfair, but the first absolutely falls flat. Ponies and Thrash just do not mix right, particularly in an audio only format. in a more visual format you can make the absurd juxtaposioning work, but this just feels shoehorned and unpleasantly dissonant. You want to metal pony, go with some more upbeat power or neoclassical metal, not thrash.
The new Pony Swag Remix wasn't too bad. Though my favorite is still the first Remix.
First one was really kind of awful. To quote Havokpony "Ponies and Thrash just do not mix right", at least not with the vocals cut out from the show. You need something a lot harsher for it to be decent...
The death metal cover of the show theme song does it right. (It could be better but its in the right spirit)
The third one is amazing, really really cool song. It's not something i'd normally listen to (black metaller), but for what it is i like it a lot. Vocals were good but could use some more enthusiasm and could have made more of an impact.
And man, these moths dont ever stop coming into my room, even though my window is closed. What does this have to do with anything?
I liked #2. Kamen Rider OOO, what are you doing to my musical tastes?
Art of the Thrash has some points where I can see what the maker intended. :55 to 1:04 is a good example. She sounds energetic but still graceful. Rarity could do some amazing opera metal, maybe even some Theatre of Tragedy-style death metal.
why pick the worst thrash band to make a pmv, they did use the best song by them though, so I guess it's okay, plus we don't have to hear dave mustaine
They don't call Megadeth the thinking man's metal for nothing. Can you say that about Metallica these days?

7th Annual Power Showcase Showcase
Denson Ends HR Derby Swing-Off Drama
David Denson, (Covina, CA) won perhaps the most dramatic POWER SHOWCASE Championship in our seven-year history, and he did it in record-breaking display at Marlins Park In Miami. 107 players from 10 countries participated in the largest and most prestigious POWER SHOWCASE event to date. Denson blasted 3 mammoth 500+(500/508/515) Home Runs in the prelims Saturday including a record-breaking 515 foot shot off the top right of video board above the upper deck in right-center! That alone sent shock-waves immediately via social media around the baseball world. And that only set the stage for a frenzied crowd and Twitter and Facebook-fest that followed in the Finals Sunday. The (amateur) World Record setting home run was measured by Greg Rybarzcyk, creator of the HitTracker. View David's 515' Home Run Video The Top Five finalists from both age groups advanced to the Championship Round. During the underclass prelims held on Friday, Canadian Josh Naylor, (2015 - St Joan of Arc) had thrilled the crowd with 10 massive HRs, his longest 453 ft. During the finals, both Naylor and Denson had five home runs apiece. This forced a five-out Swing-Off. Naylor lead-off with 5 swings and unfortunately didn't connect. Denson followed and left no doubt as he locked-in and blasted 4 HRs on four swings...with another crowd pleasing rocket to straightaway center field measuring 498 ft Denson totaled (14) 9 HRs in regulation and the Swing-off. His beaming smile was as big as the crowd's approval of his success. Players and fans rushed the field to take pictures and seek autographs. David Denson had a day and week that ballplayers for generations could only dream about in a backyard home run derby. And he did it in the new, spacious Miami Marlins Park at the 7th Annual Power Showcase. … [Read More...]

OF 1860 will be re-created at Old Bethpage Village Restoration on A time of political unrest will be re-created when Old Bethpage Village Restoration turns the clock back 128 years to the 1860 Election when Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States. The program will take place on the weekends of October 29-30 and November 5-6. County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta said that the campaign will be reenacted exactly as it was on Long Island in 1860. The election came at a time when rapid industrialization, a great tide of European immigration, the proposed extension of slavery and the impending shadow of the Civil War, contributed to popular unrest and political instability. As a result of a split in the ranks of the Democratic party, four presidential candidates representing five parties were on the ballot. Locally, it was the race between Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, known as "The Little Giant," and Abraham Lincoln, the flagbearer chosen at the second convention of Republicans, which drew the most attention. On October 29 and 30, visitors will Isiten to arguments for both sides. At 2:30 p.m., supporters of Stephen Douglas will rally near the Noon Inn, while at 3:00 p.m., the Wide Awake Club of Old Bethpage will assemble to (Continued on pane 8) Bethpage Rotary Sponsors Trip Rotarians of the Rotary club of Bethpage are seeking outstanding young business and professional nien or women (non-Rotarians) to visit Brazil in March-April 1989 under the sponsorship of the Group Study Exchange Program of the Rotary Foundation.

Hook + Albert
After reconnecting at a mutual friend's wedding and bonding over their shared love of bright socks, Hook + Albert co-founders Adam Schoenberg and Cory Rosenberg realized that, of all the men in attendance, not one had a go-to accessories brand. And so Hook + Albert — the name is a reference to the chain, or "albert," and hook that attached a pocket watch to a gentleman's vest during the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries — launched in 2011 with the aim of creating quality accessories to fill that gap in the market. From lapel flowers and colorful shoelaces to ties and (of course) boldly patterned dress socks, this is gear for guys who truly appreciate the art of dressing.

The Burnaby NOW's high school cofemale athlete of the year has a lot to look back on from her final year at St. Thomas More Collegiate.
Samantha Drescher was voted her team MVP at the B.C. AA provincial volleyball championships, where STM placed sixth, tops among all Lower Mainland schools. She also made the Commissioner's XI list at the provincial AA soccer championships, where the STM Knights were among the pre-tournament favourites before placing fourth overall. "I was real excited and flattered," said Drescher regarding her selection as co-athlete of the year. "I know there's a lot of competition in Burnaby. I felt lifted up and accomplished."
The career honour roll student also got involved on the sidelines, helping manage the Knights' varsity girls' basketball team for the 2012 winter season.
"I'll probably remember just the people, they definitely make the memories," said Drescher. "It was a lot of fun. It got me into a different group of girls. I really enjoyed it."
Drescher, who played a full season of adult women's soccer with the premier division North Shore Renegades of the Metro Women's Soccer League, will be playing for the University of British Columbia varsity team on scholarship in the upcoming fall season.
"It was a real surprise," Drescher said, when she was contacted by UBC women's head soccer coach Mark Rogers at the end of 2011 about playing with the Thunderbirds after high school graduation.
"I was kind of afraid of what to do after high school, so it was kind of a reality check. I just didn't have to worry to see where I would get in. I already had that door open for me."
Prior to her final year of high school, Drescher had already decided to make every day count.
"I figured it's my last year. I would never see most of these people again, and I wanted to make the most of Grade 12," she said.
Drescher did just that. But besides the personal and team achievements, including back-to-back tournament MVPs at the Catholic soccer championships, Drescher got involved in school affairs, helping out with the pep squad, poster and dancing clubs.
She also helped out around the school and in the community at a local soup kitchen.
"I think the most rewarding aspect was getting to know everyone in my grade on a more personal level," she said.
Drescher also trains at a boxing gym and loves it.
"I do, I love it, I think it's a great crosstrainer. I think it's a great way to stay in shape and work out, but it's also a great way to relieve that stress," Drescher added.
She has even sparred a few times with her trainer, but as yet, has no plan to step into the ring with a real opponent, she said.
"Maybe, I might (fight) if I get good enough. I think it would be a lot of fun."
She took up the sport as another way to help rehabilitate an ACL injury she suffered in 2010.
"I wanted to push myself a little more and Level 10 Fitness suggested Griffiths gym. I'm not going to quit that gym soon," Drescher added.
Contrastingly, Drescher was also a onetime, youngest-ever contestant in the Miss B.C. pagent in 2010.
While soccer has always been the mainstay for the now 18-year-old Burnaby resident, an overseas experience in Brazil with the People to People sports ambassadorship a year ago left a lasting impression on her and opened another possibility to her - travel.
"We went to an orphanage and brought the kids toys and they put on a show. I just loved it," Drescher said. "It was everything - the people, my soccer team, the coaches that came to scout us, the leaders, the sightseeing - it was a life-changing experience.

There are 3 cities on the Libyian coast with airports of note. Benghazi is one of them, easternmost. If you were flying in weapons heading east,, what would you pick? Tripoli is all the way west. 120 miles or so from Tunisia.

Low information voters will hear her and believe her, and repeat it ad nauseum. That's why the democrats lie perpetually even after the truth comes out. They know the lies will be long-lived, because the media supports the lies and ignores the truth.
The Rogue Tomato on May 14, 2013 at 11:57 PM
Barbara Boxer would be the dumbest person in the Senate, but she's been bumped back by Patty Murray, Klochubar, and Babs Mikulski. Between the four of them, if brains were beans, they don't have enough to make a bee fart.
Clearly funding wasn't the issue, and just as clearly Boxer and Democrats are desperate to derail the investigation because of what it is certain to turn up. Because if the mountains of paper and dozens of witnesses Obama is blocking Congress from seeing were in any way helpful to him, or proved he was telling the truth, they would already be out.

The only mistake ( maybe ) he made is not inquiring whether Ms Fluke was campaigning for herself, as well as others.
If she was including herself in the number of "needy" college girls, then the shoe F I T !

Shameless stupidity. And a reflection on her seriousness as a Senator.
pat on May 15, 2013 at 2:38 AM
Charlene Lamb testified in sworn testimony to Congress that budget was not a factor in cutting the security arrangements in Libya. She said it was a policy decision to go with a "lighter footprint" in a "laughably naive notion that if we were weak enough, nobody would see us as a threat so they wouldn't attack us". Ok, maybe I made up the "laughably naive" part, but the rest of it is true.
Boxer is, as usual, being dishonest.
crosspatch on May 15, 2013 at 4:18 AM
The Benghazi embassy was intentionally left to fly in the wind and everyone who is paying attention recognizes this. Boxer's screeching is but the sound of nothing but stupid usery and I'd bet she knows this herself.
Whether it was a Hillary-plan or an Obama one handed down by indirect suggestions or direct nastiness on the lawn or across the street from the WH in that Islam-associated coffee shop, it was certainly an intentional act to reduce-deny security protections to that embassy location — or to the staff associated with the place (either/or, personnel or location, "what does it matter").

If the only way to get this jackass out of the Senate is to give California back to Mehico, I say "Let's do it!"
olesparkie on May 15, 2013 at 6:03 AM
There are many worthy nominees for absolute dumbest member of Congress (both houses), but Boxer seems to always find a way to justify her perpetual inclusion on that list.
If want to know why California will sink into the Pacific long before any earthquake forces the issue, look no further than who they keep electing: Queen Pelosi, Gov Moonbeam, their entire state legislature, and yes, Barbara Boxer.
NeoCon_1 on May 15, 2013 at 7:09 AM
Let's say for a minute that you are correct and that it is completely the GOP's fault that there was less money for diplomatic security at the time of the Benghazi fiasco.
Now, explain how that results in the GOP being responsible for the Obama administration ignoring warnings of possible terrorist attacks in Egypt.
Next explain how the lack of funding caused the Obama administration to purposefully lie about the cause of the Benghazi attack and use the full weight of the U.S. Gov't to go after someone for exerting his first amendment rights in making a video?
You see Babs, even assuming that your idiotic first claim is true, it doesn't absolve Obama for incompetence and dishonesty.
Monkeytoe on May 15, 2013 at 7:32 AM
Point to Schumer, since he's in charge of messaging. I can't believe the Democrats are going here, but then this isn't for normal people, this is for the low information voter.

Axeman on May 15, 2013 at 8:01 AM
What difference does it make who cut security–whether it was Republicans and their voodoo cuts in the unpassed Ryan budget or some guys out for a walk one night who decided to cut security for the Libyan consulate.
Axeman on May 15, 2013 at 8:11 AM
As I said the first time they tried this: Democrats had claimed that the only reason that cons don't like big government is that they can't manage it like libs can. But now they say that without as much funding as they can theorize, they can't allocate a minimum level of security for one of the hottest embassies on the planet.
Cutting funding is bad. Cutting funding is bad….the first word on Obamacare was to "bend the cost curve downward". We were spending "too much" (for an aging populace?) on medical care.
Axeman on May 15, 2013 at 8:17 AM
The "repubs cut funding" must have gone out on journolist, or the super-double-secret meetings, or Valerie's texts, or whatever. I've seen them trying that one quite a bit lately.
Boudica on May 15, 2013 at 8:27 AM
It was already stated by state that funding had no role. Running lies is bad enough. How stupid do you have to be to run a lie that the administration had debunked. Really really stupid Senator.

Of all the scandals we get to choose from lately, it seems like Benghazi is the one they are freaking out about the most, and trying to act like they really don't care about it. "No big deal, just rethuglicans hyper-partisan hysteria, move along…" But really, this is the one they are peeing their pants(suits) over.

Tyrone Slothrop on May 15, 2013 at 10:42 AM
It would be so worth going to jail for punching this woman in the face, but alas, I won't. I wish North Korea would nuke California off the map.
F_This on May 15, 2013 at 12:42 PM
This is so F'in dumb. Even IF you grant that budget cuts could scale back security at some State Dept facilities abroad, is it even REMOTELY thinkable that we'd start with… say, I don't know… oh, I know, facilities in a country that just had a civil war ?
Come on already. Are you really THAT dumb ? Or do you just think THAT little of the people of this country that this idea wasn't dismissed immediately.
Give me a break.
So even IF budget cuts were a factor, wouldn't that STILL lay at the feet of the incompetent members of the Obama administration that, faced with budget cuts for security, thought Benghazi and Libya were the places to save money ?
deadrody on May 15, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Barbara Boxer is part of the reason California is filled to the brim with unemployed illegal transient/migrant people from other places.
If the government weren't spending so much money on GREEN ENERGY scams and filling the coffers of corrupt politicians it WOULD have enough money to fund the government departments that should be funded…i.e. like our military.
President Obama and his minions have been VERY,VERY bad boyz and gurlz…..They don't just LIE, they believe their lies, they spread their lies and their lies have bankrupted our future and killed many in their path….AND they aren't done folks! Expect the desperate to come unhidged!

Hepatitis C Virus Tests
Test Overview
Reference Hepatitis C Opens New Window virus (HCV) test is a blood test that looks for the genetic material (Reference RNA Opens New Window) of the virus that causes hepatitis or for the proteins (Reference antibodies Opens New Window) the body makes against HCV. These proteins will be present in your blood if you have a hepatitis C infection now or have had one in the past. It is important to identify the type of hepatitis virus causing the infection, to prevent its spread and choose the proper treatment.
HCV is spread through infected blood.
- Anti-HCV antibody tests look for antibodies to HCV in the blood, indicating an HCV infection has occurred. This test cannot tell the difference between an acute or long-term (chronic) infection. The enzyme immunoassay (EIA) may be the first test done to detect anti-HCV antibodies.
- HCV RIBA is another test that detects antibodies to HCV. This test can tell whether a positive result was caused by an actual HCV infection or whether the result was a Reference false-positive Opens New Window. This test may be done to double-check a positive EIA test result.
HCV genetic
material (RNA) testing uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify an
active hepatitis C infection. The RNA can be found in a person's blood within 1
to 2 weeks after exposure to the virus. HCV RNA testing may be done to
double-check a positive result on an HCV antibody test, measure the level of
virus in the blood (called viral load), or show how well a person with HCV is
responding to treatment.
- HCV quantitative test (also called viral load) is often used before and during treatment to find out how long treatment needs to be given and to check how well treatment is working.
- HCV viral genotyping is used to find out which genotype of the HCV virus is present. HCV has 6 genotypes, and some are easier to treat than others.
There is no vaccine available to prevent hepatitis C.

Otherwise, the specs resemble the 928's: a 4.5," 1280x768, OLED display, a dual-core, 1.5 GHz., Qualcomm (QCOM) processor, and an 8.7MP camera with optical image stabilization. There's no xenon flash, but there is an advanced camera app that leverages Scalado. Nokia will be charging a steep unsubsidized price of €469 ($609) when the 925 hits China and Europe this June.

This more or less matches past reports. But VR-Zone says a top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip will be used. KGI, generally good with Apple rumors, also expects Google (GOOG) to unveil an Android laptop (no Chrome OS?), a set-top for Web streaming, and a smartwatch (previous), but not at I/O. Comment!

The specs are generally in-line with those mentioned in rumors. Verizon will start selling the 928 on May 16 for a subsidized $100 (with a rebate).

Despite all the buzz about booming auto sales in the U.S. and China, concerns about growth for Goodyear's products in other regions of the globe have lowered expectations. But with auto sale estimates for full-year being taken higher, Goodyear could see enough consistent revenue growth to justify a higher trading multiple.

- Thursday, May 2, 9:38 PM "Intel's (INTC) competitive advantage is its expertise in manufacturing," writes Quartz's Christopher Mims, making the case ex-manufacturing chief Brian Krzanich is a better choice for CEO than an outsider. Though its mobile processor lines have lagged in adopting its most advanced processes, Intel's PC CPUs are made on a 22nm process at a time when Qualcomm, Nvidia, and others are at 28nm ... and they should get to 14nm while rivals are at 20nm. If Krzanich can eliminate the lag, it could give Intel an edge when battling for mobile design wins, at least when 4G modem integration (where Qualcomm has a lead) isn't required.

- Tuesday, April 30, 6:29 PM Football stadium naming rights notwithstanding, Qualcomm (QCOM) still has a pretty low profile with consumers. The company is hoping a new branding campaign for its Snapdragon processors will raise that profile to a more Intel-like level. The campaign will feature national TV and movie theater ads, and will eventually reach China and other foreign markets. It'll arrive in a year that has already seen an over-the-top CES keynote in which the mobile chip/IP giant seemed to be screaming for attention. 4 Comments [Tech]
- Saturday, April 27, 11:42 AM More on Qualcomm: Digitimes reports Qualcomm and Spreadtrum (SPRD) have cut prices for Chinese quad-core chips due to competition from MediaTek; Qualcomm has reportedly cut prices below $10 (low by its standards). The report is noteworthy given Qualcomm's growing Chinese presence, and the fact its chip margins (along with chip/royalty mix) had much to do with its disappointing FQ3/FY13 EPS guidance. Thanks to heavy R&D spend and a mix shift to emerging markets, the chip unit's op. margin fell to 17% in FQ2 from the year-ago period's 20%, and is expected to stay at 17% in FQ3; aided by FQ1's 26% margin, FY13 guidance is still for 18.5%-20.5%. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Saturday, April 27, 11:03 AM Qualcomm (QCOM) managed to get 6 chips in the U.S. version of Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy S4, per iFixit's teardown: the high-end APQ8064 app processor, a 4G baseband chip, an audio codec chip, an RF transceiver (beating out SIMO), and 2 power management ICs; the U.K. version uses a Snapdragon 600 baseband/app processor. Also found: a MXIM microcontroller, an SIMG video transmitter, a SWKS 2G power amplifier module, a BRCM NFC chip (likely to go with a combo chip), ATML and SYNA touch controllers, and Toshiba (TOSBF.PK) NAND flash (previous).

- Friday, April 26, 8:47 AM Silicon Motion (SIMO) -8.8% after posting mixed Q1 results (EPS hurt by a 400 bps Q/Q gross margin drop) and light guidance. SIMO expects Q2 revenue to grow 5%-10% Q/Q, well below a consensus for a 24% increase, thanks to soft 4G transceiver demand. For 2013, it expects non-4G transceiver ops to show 0%-10% growth - the consensus for total revenue is 9.8%. SA contributor Ashraf Eassa, bullish on SIMO due to its valuation, thinks Samsung's yield issues for its Exynos 5 Octa CPU have led it to rely more on Qualcomm's (QCOM) solutions (previous) for the Galaxy S4, which in turn has hurt SIMO's transceiver share.

- Wednesday, April 24, 4:38 PM More on Qualcomm: 173M MSM chip shipments in FQ2, +14% Y/Y and at high end of guidance. 163M-173M shipments seen in FQ3 (+16%-23%). Royalty-bearing device sales +18% Y/Y in Dec. quarter, but ASP fell to $214-$220 from Sep. quarter's $224-$230 (affects royalties/margins) and device sales growth seen dropping to 7%-17% for March quarter. FY13 ASP guidance narrowed to $216-$224; calendar year device guidance raised by 15M to 1.05B. Free cash flow +10% Y/Y to $1.99B vs. net income of $2.07B. R&D spend +28% Y/Y, SG&A +14%. No buybacks (that could soon change). QCOM -5.2% AH. CC at 4:45PM ET (webcast). (PR) (slides) 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Wednesday, April 24, 4:07 PM Qualcomm (QCOM): FQ2 EPS of $1.17 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $6.12B (+24% Y/Y) beats by $50M. Expects FQ3 revenue of $5.8B-$6.3B and EPS of $0.97-$1.05 vs. consensus of $5.88B and $1.04. Expects FY13 revenue of $24B-$25B and EPS of $4.40-$4.55 vs. consensus of $24.1B and $4.53. Shares -5.1% AH. (PR) 5 Comments [Tech, Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 24, 1:31 PM Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy S IV is a superb phone, if one can cope with a cheap plastic feel and too many gimmicks. That seems to be the consensus from the first full reviews. The Verge praises the S IV's display, camera, and performance, but still considers the HTC One a better bet. "The Galaxy S4 is fast and impressive, but it's also noisy and complex." TechCrunch and Gizmodo deliver similar takes. But others (I, II) make the case that more is ultimately better (this mindset has worked for Samsung thus far). The reviews arrive as Sprint and T-Mobile state their S IV launches will be delayed due to inventory issues. Key suppliers: QCOM, BRCM, SYNA, PANL, ATML, RFMD, TQNT. (previous) 23 Comments [Tech]
