MAKANA LEE AND FT. STEUBEN CO., INC., APPELLANTS IN NO. 85-3339v.J. ALAN JOHNSON, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND WILLIAM VON RAAB, COMMISSIONER, UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, APPELLANTS IN NO. 85-3321
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA D.C. Civil No. 84-379
Author: Gibbons
Before: GIBBONS, BECKER and ROSENN, Circuit Judges.Opinion
GIBBONS, Circuit Judge :
J. Alan Johnson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and William Von Raab, Commissioner of the United States Customs Service, appeal from an order awarding counsel fees, costs, and expenses against the United States pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d) (1982). They contend that no award should have been made. Ft. Steuben Company, Inc. (Ft. Steuben), a plaintiff in the underlying action, cross-appeals from the same order to the extent that it denied reimbursement for certain fees. We affirm the district court award in its entirety.
Ft. Steuben, an Ohio corporation operating in Steubenville, Ohio, imports and resells oriental artifacts and merchandise. Its principal place of business is located in the basement of the home of Makana Lee, its manager. Ft. Steuben's merchandise normally passes through United States Customs at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the company employs a customs broker to prepare the file entry documents. On October 20, 1983, five officers of the Customs Service traveled from their Pittsburgh office to Steubenville to investigate certain claimed exemptions from duties and county-of-origin marking requirements with respect to goods imported by Ft. Steuben. The agents questioned Mr. Lee, who cooperated. Lee permitted them to inspect merchandise stored in a warehouse at another Steubenville location.
On October 21, 1983, three custom agents returned to Steubenville and padlocked and sealed the doors to the basement of Mr. Lee's house -- including the door connecting the house and the basement -- his garage, and the Ft. Steuben warehouse. The agents acted without a warrant, and the only explanation they gave Mr. Lee for their action, noted on a "Receipt for Retainer or Seized Merchandise" was that all the contents were seized pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 542 (1982).*fn1 Customs Service agents subsequently entered the premises several times to inspect and inventory their contents.
On November 23, 1983, Lee and Ft. Steuben filed in the United States District for the Southern District of Ohio an action seeking permanent, injunctive relief and damages. In their complaint they alleged that the actions of the Customs Service agents violated the fourth amendment prohibition against unreasonable seizures as well as the fifth amendment's guarantee of due process. They also requested a preliminary injunction ordering a return of the property.
After the district court scheduled a hearing on the motion for pendente lite relief, the Customs Service unilaterally removed the padlocks and seals from Lee's basement and garage. At the time of the hearing the Customs Service remained in possession of the warehouse and was continuing to inspect and inventory its contents, although it had neither notified Ft. Steuben or Lee of any penalty assessment no filed any criminal charges. After a hearing, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, applying the usual standards for pendente lite injunctive relief, entered an order enjoining the Customs Service from continuing the seizure of the warehouse. Lee v. Raab. Noting that in addition to their request for an injunction Lee and Ft. Steuben had moved pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(e) for the return of certain property already removed, the court commented, "Because the granting of the preliminary injunction affords the plaintiffs immediate and substantial relief, and because no criminal proceedings have yet been instituted, plaintiffs' motion for relief under Rule 41(e) is taken under advisement." Id. at 1274-75. The Customs Service did not appeal this order.
On February 7, 1984, one of the Customs Service agents who had participated in the October 21, 1983, seizures served on Mr. Lee, as Custodian of Records of Ft. Steuben, a subpoena duces tecum directing him to produce before a grand jury in the Western District of Pennsylvania forty-six categories of records. All of these subpoenaed records had been seized in the illegal October 1983 raid.
Before the return date of that subpoena duces tecum, the district court in Ohio decided the reserved Rule 41(e) motion. That court's order provides,
WHEREUPON, upon consideration, the Court determines that plaintiffs' motion for return of property is meritorious, and it is hereby GRANTED. Defendants are ORDERED to return immediately any property taken from the Lees' basement or garage or the Ft. Steuben Company warehouse which remains in defendants' custody or control; and it is further
Ordered THAT to the extent this Order shall have the effect under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(e) of suppressing the admission of illegally seized property into evidence in any future trial or hearing, it shall apply to all the property of the plaintiffs which was seized, including, but not limited to, any article of merchandise and any business record or document that was present on the premises of the Lees' basement or garage or the Ft. Steuben Company warehouse at the time these premises were seized on October 21, 1983.
Lee v. Raab, 576 F. Supp. 1267, slip op. at 4-5 (S.D. Ohio Feb. 13, 1984). This February 13, 1984 order covers all the records listed in the subpoena duces tecum. Again, there was no appeal.
Relying on the two orders issued by the Ohio District Court, Lee and Ft. Steuben filed a complaint in the Western District Court of Pennsylvania on February 17, 1984. In that complaint they charged that the Customs Service officials had initiated the grand jury investigation in retaliation for Lee and Ft. Steuben's prosecution of the civil suit in the Southern District of Ohio and for the purpose of assisting in the government's defense of that action. they further alleged that the subpoena itself was a fruit of the illegal search and seizure. The plaintiffs sought a preliminary and permanent injunction barring the United States Attorney from continuing the grand jury investigation and barring designated agents of the Customs Service from further participating in any investigation relating to the illegally-seized property. Lee and Ft. Steuben simultaneously filed in the pending civil action a motion to quash the grand jury subpoena duces tecum and a motion for a preliminary injunction.
The government's response to the plaintiffs' motions did not dispute the complaint's factual allegations. Conceding that the October 1983 seizure unconstitutional, that the Ohio district court has issued a valid injunction, and that the Ohio district court had issued the February 13, 1984, order quoted above, the government nevertheless contended that it was free to subpoena the very records it had illegally seized and to have the Customs Service agents who had effected the illegal seizure participate in the grand jury proceeding. Government's Response to Defendant's [sic] Complaint, reprinted in Joint Appendix at 71-82.
On March 12, 1984, a judge of the Western District of Pennsylvania held a hearing on the plaintiffs' motion and heard testimony. Shortly thereafter the district court quashed the subpoena duces tecum, enjoined the government from issuing of any additional subpoenas seeking evidence that the Ohio district court had already suppressed, and enjoined seventeen officials of the Customs Service and certain government attorneys from further participation in the grand jury investigation. Lee v. Johnson, Civil Action No. 84-379 (W.D. Pa. Mar. 23, 1984).*fn2 The government did not appeal from this order, and it remains in effect, along with the orders of the Ohio district court referred to above.
On June 1, 1984, Ft. Steuben filed in the Western District of Pennsylvania an application seeking reimbursement for costs, attorneys' fees, and expenses it incurred in connection with its suit in that court. In addition to that amount, which totaled $23,830.81, Ft. Steuben sought reimbursement for the attorneys fees, costs, and expenses that it would incur in prosecuting the fee petition. In support of its petition Ft. Steuben filed detailed affidavits.
The government filed a response to the application, contending that, as a matter of law, Ft. Steuben was not entitled to reimbursement. It filed no affidavits contesting the reasonableness of the hourly rates requested or the reasonableness of the hours expended, nor did it file any affidavits in support of its legal contentions.
At the district court hearing on the petition, the government offered no evidence, choosing to rely entirely upon its legal arguments. Thus the fee application was before the court on Ft. Steuben's application, its uncontradicted affidavits, and the underlying record in the case.
The district court held that Ft. Steuben qualified for reimbursement, Lee v. Johnson, C.A. No. 84-379 (W.D. Pa. May 3, 1985), and it entered an order awarding to Ft. Steuben attorneys fees of $17,978.32, and costs and expenses of $2015.01. Lee v. Johnson, C.A. No. 84-379 (W.D. Pa. May 3, 1985) (order). Although it also ordered the government of reimburse Ft. Steuben for attorney fees it incurred in preparing the fee petition, the district court refused to order reimbursement for expenses associated with the subsequent litigation of the fee petition. This appeal and cross-appeal followed.
A. The Government's Appeal
The Equal Access to Justice Act provides in relevant part,
[A] court shall award to a prevailing party . . . fees and other expenses . . . incurred by that party in any civil action . . . ., unless the court finds the position of the United States was substantially justified . . . .
28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A) (1982).*fn3
The government argued in the district court and argues now to this court that (1) Ft. Steuben was not a "party" as defined by the Act; (2) Ft. Steuben's suit was not a "civil action"; and (3) that the position of the United States was "substantially justified." We ...

Startup problems addressed:
1) If i am going to disclose my idea/technology to various stakeholders, how can i protect myself?
2) We are a tech focused startup looking for funding. How do we increase our valuation?
3) We think we know what our value proposition and differentiators are, but we are not sure whether it is unique
4) We are targeting global markets, what are some of the challenges we would face?
Relevance of IPR for startups:
Intellectual Property makes up for most of the value of an early stage technology company. When IP is protected through patents, trademarks, copyrights, design registrations etc, this value can be monetized in multiple ways, such as by providing competitive advantages and a larger market share, differentiation, barriers to entry for competitors, licensing revenue, sale of IP assets, and enhancing the valuation of the company for fund raising, M&A etc.

I've had the great fortune of traveling, often and far, over the past twenty years. When I return from a trip, people ask how it was. My mind goes a bit blank and all I can come up with is, "It was great." Then I say the great things about the trip. Then, because I feel compelled to be honest, I say some of the not so great things. Then I quickly change the subject and ask about what happened while I was gone, "What did I miss?"
I have a love/hate thing when it comes to travel.
There's the love part: sharing the experience with Bill, seeing new places and the different ways people live and eat and work and play, getting away from the regular of life, the food and drink and scenery, and the people — well that's the best — we've met some pretty wonderful people and also shared travels with family and friends.
Then there's the hate part which, curiously, comes from the same list. Getting away from my regular life is hard. I like my regular life and my regular home and my regular day-to-day people. I like my bed and food and the ease of having my stuff all handy. For me, travel is a challenge: flying, making connections, packing and unpacking and packing and unpacking, the tension of negotiating it all with Bill and whoever else is along with us. Invariably Bill and I have one big blow up: tired, cranky, hungry.
I've just looked at the two paragraphs above and realized, the second is longer than the first. I'm sounding like a whiner, "Oh…poor me, I have to take a trip to a beautiful or interesting place." I don't mean that. I love travel. I wouldn't give up one trip I've taken. And when I remember a trip, I remember it all. And I smile every time because the good memories just get better and the bad ones, they get funny.

Magento SEO extension by FME allows you to fine tune your SEO. It enables you to set correct canonical URL for products. A drop down for canonical Meta tag is added to each product page Meta settings which show s all the possible variations of a particular URL. You can select the desired canonical Magento URL from this drop down and this URL will then be added to the head section of that particular page as a canonical Meta tag. In case you do not prefer setting it manually, you can set it to pick the canonical URL from configuration which by default uses the deepest link as a canonical link.
Implementing Magento canonical product URLs help you to stay aligned with the search engine quality standards. Typically, on ecommerce websites, a webpage can be accessed from several URLs e.g. one URL may contain session ID and other one may contain a tag, but these two different URLs lead to the same webpage. In these cases, search engines can crawl & index wrong version of your web page which can produce drastic results for you, as it will show wrong page to internet searchers. So it's important that you configure and optimize canonical URLs correctly.
This Magento Canonical Links extension allows you to easily set canonical tags for search engines without touching the code. You can configure it to select the correct URL automatically or you can do it manually. Click on DEMO to see how it works.
Once the extension is installed, login to admin panel and follow the below mentioned guidelines.
By default, this extension will automatically choose the deepest link as a canonical link. It means a URL with all the categories and subcategories. If you need to configure different canonical URL then follow the procedure as described below.
You can manually set the Canonical URL for any product page. Open the desired product page from the backend. Click on the Meta settings tab and you will see a drop down at the bottom named as "Canonical URL". This drop down will list all the URL variations that can be used to access that specific page. Select the desired URL and that is all you have to do. In case you need to use the default URL as canonical then select 'config' from the dropdown.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The smell is that of dark soy sauce and reduced Chinese black vinegar: dark and pungent. It's a scent that might make you eager to take deep breaths of it or toss the whole bag out the window. However, once reconstituted in water the smell dissipates and all that's left is the innocent mushroom. Bite into one and enjoy the soft surface, meaty texture and toothsome crunch. The flavor is not at all like the smell. Think a weak black tea, bitter and sweet.
The dried cloud ear is mellower than the wood ear mushroom and has a black and grey appearance as opposed to the wood ear's black and tan. This particular fungi is useful in many classic Chinese and Japanese soups and stir-fries. To mix it up, reconstitute it in water and mince it, add the mushroom and the broth to a Thanksgiving cornbread and sausage stuffing to give it a bit more textural intrigue and Asian flavor.
|Dried Black Fungus Mushrooms.
|Recommended Applications
|Black Fungus, having a firm yet soft texture, makes them great when applied to recipes where a textural contrast is required. Also fantastic when paired with stir-fry, stuffing, soups, or sauces.
|Basic Preparation
|One ounce of dry mushroom reconstitutes into 3-4 ounces of mushrooms. To do so, take the needed amount and place in to a bowl of hot water. Allow the mushrooms to soak for 20 or 30 minutes. If you wish to add the dry mushrooms directly to a recipe, make sure to rinse prior to adding and only do so if the recipe requires them to cook for at least 25 minutes.
|All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO
|Product Style
|American, Asian, Chinese, French
|Handling / Storage
|Store in a cool, dry place.
|Shelf Life
|2 Years
|Country of Origin
|Dietary Notes
|May Contain Naturally Occurring Sulfites.

About Armstrong
PBC Champs! Pirates Serve Victory
(April 16, 2013) Armstrong's top-seeded and top-ranked men's and women's tennis teams continued a tradition of winning after snagging Peach Belt Conference Tournament titles on Sunday, April 14, at the Dr. Eddie Floyd Florence Tennis Center in Florence, S.C. These wins advance the teams to the 2013 NCAA Division II National Championships.
The women (24-1) have won the last 10 regular season PBC titles and added a 10th straight league tournament crown to that ledger in blanking the Columbus State University Cougars (20-3), who have lost to just two teams this season – the top-ranked Pirates twice and No. 4 BYU-Hawaii.
The women Pirates got off to a good start against the Cougars by sweeping all three doubles matches. They then clinched the title with No. 11-ranked Marlen Hacke's 6-2, 6-1 win over the Couger's Lauren Chapman and No. 3-ranked Barbara Krtickova's 7-6 (2), 6-1 win over Olivera Jokic. Krtickova was named the 2013 PBC Tournament Singles MVP, as well as the 2013 PBC Tournament Doubles MVP, along with Aleksandra Filipovski.
Having won 19 of 22 overall tournament titles in league history and 12 of 14 tournament titles since the 1999 season, Armstrong's women's tennis team has a strong foundation of success going into the championship to defend their 2012 national championship title.
The men (22-1) added their ninth straight PBC tournament crown with a 5-1 win over No. 8-ranked Columbus State (17-3). Doubles play in the title match went in favor of the team, as the Pirates won two of three matches to take a 2-1 lead heading into singles play. The top-ranked doubles duo of Dan Regan and Georgi Rumenov beat Columbus' Olivier Simonet and Marco Almorin, while Matus Mydla and Jaan Kononov beat Adi Malicbegovic and Danilo Sardelli. Singles play saw the men come up with two quick straight-set singles wins as No. 5-ranked Mydla beat Simonet, and No. 24-ranked Lalic beat Almorin. With three other singles matches in or heading to third sets, it took No. 1-ranked Rumenov to clinch the title for the Pirates with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Divljak.
Mydla was named the PBC Tournament singles MVP, while Regan and Rumenov were named the PBC Tournament doubles MVPs. Earning an automatic bid into the national championship, the Armstrong's men's tennis teams will also begin defense of its national championship title won last year.
The 2013 NCAA Division II National Championship will be held on April 27-19. Here's to the Pirates and their winning ways!

Rouge Bunny Rouge new brushes: Highlighter 014 & Blender 016
The highlighter 014 brush is designed for liquid and powder textured highlighters but I have found this extremely versatile and also use it for applying a wash of eyeshadow and its also great for applying loose pigments and concealer.
It's a good sized oval brush head and has a firm texture without being scratchy in the least. It packs on colour without it looking cakey and gives an even distribution.
Shown below with a MAC227 which is the closet I have size wise (Mac on top, RBR below)
The blender 016 is designed to blend cream or powder shadows. I've not had a brush this shape before, it's a rounded short head, again its firm but feels pleasant to use.
It's great to blend away harsh lines or to blend different colours together; it's also good for smudging liner. Its blends with ease so there is no faffing about as it gets the job done quickly.
I've being using these since I got them and washing them frequently and have had no misshaping or shedding.
I have always been a fan of RBR brushes and these additions just further showcase the high quality, versatility and durability of the brush collection.
Rouge Bunny Rouge is available from http://en.rougebunnyrouge.com (they ship worldwide).
Disclosure: These were sent to me for free.

I haven't tried any RBR brushes, but I think I'll have to soon! None of these has a shape that I am familiar with, but the only way to get to know a brush is playing with it. Glad to hear they have worked well for you :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I do highly recommend RBR brushes, the blusher and powder brush are especially lovely as well :)Delete
I'm so glad you reviewed these!!! I saw RBR post these in instagram so I've been very interested since then. These look like they might be good additions. I've been looking for a brush to use for a wash of color...the one I used to use I mistakenly got rid of and none of the brushes I have now work as well (nor as quickly). The short stubby brush looks interesting...it reminds me of a Hakuhodo one I have but a lot shorter! Glad these are working out so well for you :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
What a shame to have got rid of it by mistake, bet you said a few choice words ;)Delete
I've never tried Hakuhodo but always hear good things about them, people are saying the Wayne Goss ones are similar?
I so pleased with these two RBR brushes, I do hope they continue to add to the line up, some more crease brushes would be good.
Really interested in these. How long are the handles?ReplyDeleteReplies
not including the ferrule, they are 4.4 inches long, so work out the same length as a standard MAC handle.Delete
I saw RBR's twitter feed and FB and these brushes look so intriguing! I use my fingers for the RBR liquid h/l and I'm wondering if it would work better with the brush.ReplyDelete
The eye blender brush is actually a lot bigger than I thought. I wonder if on people with small lid space could use this brush effectively.
No matter, bc it is ADORABLE looking!Replies
I do prefer the brush over using fingers for liquid highlighter, seems to have a better finish.Delete
I see what you mean about the blender, not sure if I would be considered to have a medium or large lid space, its definitely fine for whatever my lid size is though ;)

These brushes look really good. Firm yet soft!ReplyDeleteReplies
I think its hard to find firm brushes that are comfortable so these have proved to be a real winner :)Delete

Cinnabon Rolls

I notice you use margarine in your recipes a lot . . . and you know how I'm a real butter person :) So, can I use real butter without messing up the texture and anything else?

Hi Liz!
I am sure you can use real butter! My recipe just happens to say margarine . . . but I think more often than not, it is fine to use butter instead of margarine.

- Shalyce said...
Oh, boy... Those look like heaven. And, I have the same butter/margarine question. :-)
- May 24, 2010 at 9:08 AM
- Shelley said...
Hi Shalyce!
Now, the more I think about it, I am sure these cinnamon rolls would taste EVEN BETTER with real butter. Let me know how they turn out!

Oh that looks so incredibly yummy! We make cinnamon rolls occasionally. Love your food suggestions - definitely a site I'll be back to when the "what will I make for dinner" duldrums set in! Glad I found you through Mom Loop.

Made these today. I had to redeem myself from making a horrible batch of someone else's recipe last week. They really are DELICICI0US- and easy. Used real butter. I think I'm going to try freezing a pan (already baked and iced) to have on Christmas - hopefully they still taste so good. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks, Shelley!

text: CORPORATE DISMISSALS. The Jack Eckerd Corp., which is planning to sell its drugstore chain, has dismissed its treasurer and about 30 other middle- and upper-level executives. Officials of the Clearwater-based chain said Wednesday the dismissals, which occurred in recent weeks, were a result of an $8.3 million loss in fiscal 1985. But some of the laid-off employees said the proposed sale of the company to a corporation owned by Eckerd management and an investment group was to blame.

Culture24 writer Emily Mears goes behind bars at the York Castle Museum Prison to experience the suffering of inmates through the ages...
The laughter of schoolchildren dressed in bright red jumpers in the Museum entrance ends. The guide arrives and they are led away. They have reached York Castle Prison.
The Prison, which opened in 1705, has been carefully brought back to life following a £200,000 refurbishment . Positioned underneath York Castle Museum, it is a gloomy place with shafts of daylight slipping through the bars, casting shadows on the old stone floor. Hinges creak and a rusty key turns in a large oak door.
Dr Katherine Prior, the researcher for this permanent exhibition, has plotted the rise and demise of some of the Prison's most notorious keepers and criminals. It is these characters who greet you during a walk within the prison walls.
State of the art technology brings history to life inside the prison
A muffled cough and a painful yell are heard in a nearby cell. Upon entering, a man in rags seems to appear from the darkness. He shakes his fist, points his finger and unveils a nasty wound. "See this, this beating," he shouts. "This was done by the gaoler."
The Museum is using the latest audio-visual technology to project actors recounting the terrible tales of long-lost men and women onto the cell walls. They appear like haunting hallucinations.
Peer through a different doorway and a gentleman wearing a white wig and spectacles opens a scroll with a whimsical wave and begins to read out the prisoner's petitions.
His arrogant dismissal of the desperate need for food and his adamant refusal to help a young family left behind exposes the injustice of the legal system.
As you leave the cell and head back to the corridor you see a young boy and girl playing. Clapping their hands to a ghostly tune, their sweet voices float away. Born behind bar, they are used to the darkness and the damp, tiny cells.
The prison opened in 1705
In one particularly cramped cell somebody has scrawled, in what looks like pink paint, a date. ""On this day", it is written beneath, "nine people suffocated to death in a cell of this size". As you turn to leave the lights go off and the room is filled with gentle gasps and cries.
By spending hours immersed in dusty regional records, Prior has recreated a truly terrible prison experience. "You pick up on one small detail," she explains, "and watch as it develops into an incredibly rich story."
Wishing to depict a range of views, Prior has looked at the prison from every angle. The gruesome goings on and the dark deeds of both gaolers and prisoners really do give you a glimpse into an awful underground world.
Not all the cells, however, are inhabited by ghosts. Some offer up a more educational experience. In one, the words of James Montgomery, a poet imprisoned in the castle, rebound around the walls.
In another, a database detailing the names of 5,000 convicted criminals lets you discover the murky history of your own family - are you related to any rogues? Do you bare any resemblance to the dashing Dick Turpin?
Those brave enough to go down into the depths should definitely be prepared to get a little scared.
Explore inside the prison on the York Castle Prison website.

1. It's been a very long past few weeks, but I finally picked a winner for my giveaway with Tessa...if you see your name below, email me {email@example.com} and let me know what you'd like from my store and Tessa's :)
2. Last weekend, I went with my sorority sisters from college on our annual girls' trip. We've been going on the trip for 9 years now and it's such a relaxing time to do absolutely nothing {or whatever we want!}. I love these girls and can't wait for our 10 year trip next summer!
3. For those of you who don't know, I grew up on a farm and my granddad still has a produce stand he opens every summer. We are knee deep in watermelons around here right now, and my little one loves being a helper to her PaPa! Of course, we had to have a photo shoot on the watermelons!
4. After what seemed like forever since I've made something, I finally finished my back to school printables pack. I'm so excited about having this pack to help with all those skills we sometimes forget about in the craziness of the beginning of the year. It's full of ways to practice cutting, tracing, gluing, etc. You can get it by itself or bundled with my back to school centers {we only have about a month left before we go back!!}. If you hop over to my facebook page today, I'm giving the bundle away to a lucky winner!
5. To help you save on my new products and many more and to celebrate the 4th, I'm having a sale this weekend. Just click the picture below to check it out!
Now, I'm off to get our stuff ready to go see the fireworks tonight!

Portal 2 Plush Turret has sound effects
When it comes to video games, another stream of revenue would be the sales of merchandise – I mean, just take a look at the Angry Birds franchise which has done extremely well to date across most mobile platforms, not to mention making its way to the desktop as well. While the game might be free for Android and iPhone users will need to fork out a nominal sum for it, the release of an Angry Birds cookbook, plush toys and even knock-down toys from Mattel have proved to be quite the commercial masterstroke. Portal 2, with its fair following of fans as well, will also jump aboard the merchandise bandwagon with the $34.99 Portal 2 Plush Turret.
Complete with sound effects, this 14.5″ high collectible will be powered by a trio of AAA batteries, so you need not worry about getting radiation poisoning from devices and products that hail from the future. It has a glowing eye just like in the game itself, and converses in a similar vein as that of a proper sentry turret. Sorry, there are no dual machine guns that work included, but at least whenever its built-in motion detector picks up some motion, it will say phrases like, "Target acquired", "There you are", "I see you", "Preparing to dispense product" and "Activated".

While the details he offered were sketchy, he did reveal that it consisted of five tracks: Way To Blue, Three Hours, two that 'I do not recognize' and a brief instrumental that he described as 'a short 3/4 time signature [sic] with the sixth string dropped to D'. He went on to suggest that 'an approximate date for this disc is around 1968 / 1969. By the sound of the disc the tracks are early, but near complete... very clear one mic recording.'
Unfortunately, no such info was obtainable, and in the absence of detailed information, decent-quality images or soundclips from the seller, I did not bid. It ended up fetching £3211. Perhaps the lucky high bidder will share the music on it in due course. Certainly Nick's estate are extremely interested in it, and in any similar acetates that might turn up from the same source.

The 2nd militant member of the Popular Resistance Committees was wounded in the 'surgical strike'.
An Israel Air Force craft targeted a motorcycle traveling in the Gaza city of Rafah on Sunday, killing one militant and wounding another.
According to initial reports, the attack was a surgical strike against a member of the Popular Resistance Committees militant organization.
An IDF statement released after the attack said that the assault was a joint operation by the army and the Shin Bet, adding that militant squad targeted belonged to a global Jihad organization.
According to the statement, the two men targeted in the strike were 22-year-old Ahmed Sayid Ismayil and 19-year-old Eyad Okel Hijazi.
The IDF said that Ismayil belonged to a militant group linked to the global Jihad movement operating in the Strip and in the Sinai, adding that he was involved in the June attack on the border with Israel that killed an Israeli citizen.
In addition, the IDF statement said that Ismayil and Hijazi were working on another attack against Israeli targets on the Egypt-Israel border.
The strike came amid a time of tense quiet along Israel's border with the coastal enclave, one that is periodically interrupted by short bouts of fighting.
Late last month, Gaza militants fired four rockets into southern Israel, with two of the projectiles landing near the desert town of Sderot. No injuries or damage were reported.
The other two exploded in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council. A 28-year-old woman injured her ankle while seeking shelter following the sound of the alarm and was evacuated to Barzilay Medical Center in Ashkelon.
Last week, the Counter-Terrorism Bureau urged Israeli tourists in Sinai to return to Israel immediately because terrorists are planning to abduct Israelis from the peninsula.
The agency said it issued the warning because it has received new intelligence indicating that Gaza-based Palestinian terror groups and organizations linked to Al-Qaida in Sinai are planning imminent attacks on Israeli tourists there. The terrorists' primary goal is to kidnap Israelis, the agency added.
While it has issued similar warnings several times in the past, many Israelis ignore them, pressing forward with plans to enjoy a relatively cheap beach vacation.
"The Counter-Terrorism Bureau once again urges all Israelis in Sinai to leave the region immediately and return to Israel," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement on Thursday.

The last tax season was one of the most turbulent in recent years. But those were last year's problems and we are already well into the buying season for 2013 tax products, which will be minus the veteran TaxWorks application, However, time moves on and features involving the web, mobile and efiling take center stage for the remaining players.
TaxWorks was sold to Thomson Reuters after its rewritten package bombed and similar problems happened with ATX and TRX. Both Intuit and H&R Block had embarrassing glitches with the state of Minnesota warning taxpayers at one point not to use any of Intuit's software applications for filing either manually or electronically.
Are there lessons to be learned in order to prevent future messes?
"There are lessons to be learned for how we working with the [taxing] agencies," says Jorge Olavarrieta, group product manager for Intuit who is responsible for Intuit Tax Online. Minnesota, for example, was not just about Intuit problems. The agencies and the tax software publishers both have responsibility for validating forms, especially in a year in which turmoil in Washington compressed their release.
"We need to make sure we are validating together," says Olavarrieta. "Both parties have some level of responsibility."
For CCH Small Firm Services, the issues run deeper.
"On ATX, our goal is making sure we have the platform operating at the level the market expects," says Jason Marx, president of the CCH Unit. Marx says SFS is working to ensure the product for 2013 is stable and operates well in a networked environment. When it comes to the problems with the 2012 software, Marx says, "We need to make sure we know what the root causes are, form a networking and performance perspective."
Beyond curing last season's problems, SFS is moving ahead with some important changes, one of those was PortalSafe, developed for CCH by eFileCabinet. It offers customary portal features for publishing and protecting documents that are to be made available to users. SecurePortal integrates with both ATX and TaxWise
SFS has also released a mobile application that provides access to basic capabilities of the tax programs, along with content from CCH's IntelliConnect research platform. Marx says his group is also enhancing the interoperability of the tax programs with other modules in the product suite, such as the fixed asset manager.
Into the Cloud
For Intuit, the future is the Internet and connected services and the 2013 rendition of Intuit Online has a lot to do with having the company's web-based applications working more closely.
"You are going to be some of the bringing together of the multiple SaaS applications, primarily QuickBooks Online and Intuit Tax Online," Olavarietta says. And while there are no announcements on integration with the recently released Intuit Practice Management, another cloud product, it doesn't take a crystal ball to see that will happen.
For example, Intuit last season tested preparing returns from within QuickBooks Online. "The majority of the data is available within the books and it's a matter of cleaning of up those books" in order to prepare returns, Olavarietta continues. About 500 returns were prepared this way during the 2012 tax season and the capability will be publicized this year.
Intuit Tax Online will have expanded client and engagement management capabilities, including productivity tools such as K-1 transfers. Since the online tax product is built from the Lacerte code, development has been a matter of deciding how quickly Lacerte features can be implemented in the cloud application.
Getting Axcess
CCH was already in the market with a cloud-based version of its ProSystem fx Tax application. But it recently introduced the Axcess line of Internet-based products with the online tax application moving under that brand.
So the product isn't new – it was first rolled out to a handful of users in 2008 – but it is now entering a phase with broad marketing support.
"We've seen tremendous growth in the number of returns processed over the last couple of year" with Axcess Tax, says product manger Angela Askew.
CCH's major focus with the Axcess suite is the fact all applications draw from a common database. And that means that when information, such as a name or address, must be changed, it needs to be changed only once, instead of needing to be changed in all relevant applications. The system also has a client dashboard.
One change that hasn't had an impact yet is the decision to make Axcess an open platform. Other publishers will be able to write applications that can work with the tax program. "There has been some discussion," says Askew, but it's too early to the third-party products to make it to market.. Firms, for example, might want to link the tax program with a hosted payroll system, mobile application or CRM
Many changes will apply to both Axcess and ProSystem fx Tax, including the availability of an electronic filing status application for mobile. CCH is also working to add more connections to its IntelliConnect research platform. Also coming are more diagnostics to help understand rejections of electronically filed returns. "Ninety-five percent or more of rejections are due to input errors," Askew noted. Among those are a major factor is typographical errors in taxpayer names.
Askew says efiling was affected during the last season by the increase in volume over a shorter period, because of the truncated filing season. There are also "many more states coming on board with efiling and many had more forms."
The Vanishing CD
Changes with Thomson Reuters include a move to sharply curb the number of CDs shipped to practitioners during tax season. With the installation and patching process streamlined, the plan is to have the shipment of CDs only with the initial release.
"You won't have to install another CD other than this," says Scott Fleszar, VP of strategic marketing for Thomson Reuters Tax & Accounting. Fleszar said installation of downloaded updates will be more automatic, similar to the updates Microsoft provides for Windows. The system "automatically alerts you when you are going to be updated," he says.
UltraTax will also provide more features for larger firms, including the ability to administer multiple offices from a central location. "It will support different office designations, different preparers in each office and different data locations," he says. That means a partner could examine returns for one office or for a single preparer in any office.
PDF creation is also getting fine tuning. Practitioners will have the option to create separate PDF for federal and state returns, and for each partner or shareholder within those returns. In the past, the forms have been published in a single PDF. These can be pushed to a shareholder or partner portal for a taxpayer who might need only a copy of a state return.
Intuit's Desktop
Despite its move to the cloud, Intuit's customer base in professional tax preparation remains largely on the desktop with Lacerte and ProSeries
Lacerte users will get the benefit of work with PDF features. Product manager Mary Kroenung said one popular feature from the 2013 tax season was the ability to email password protected PDFs from inside the application.
"We are going to improve PDF creation even more," says Kroenung. This includes ability to attach PDFs to the 1040 form. There will also be improved password protection so that firms will be able to utilize different levels of passwords, instead of having returns protected by a client password.
The problem with client passwords is that "When you are creating a PDF, it's based off specific information for that client, part of a Social Security Number EIN and Zip code," says Kroenung. But other users within the firm might not have ready access to those keys. So there will be levels of passwords that will enable managers and partners access to different for clients.
A major change is Lacerte's link to the newly launched Intuit Practice Management, an online application. That program has been available in tests over the last two years but has only recently been formally introduced. It integrates with Lacerte and QuickBooks Online.
For ProSeries, Intuit is moving to a download model of delivery. That change is being helped along by "some some significant changes in how our software downloads to make it quicker and easier to download," says product manager, Julie Kozloski.
Customers who have renewed their purchases for 2013 tax software will be able to download that software in the first week of November.
Kozloski said Intuit has also down some work with PDFs that won't be visible to end users, but will help Intuit get approval for forms more quickly from state taxing authorities. After the authorities release forms, Intuit modifies them and then must receive approval for those modifications.
"We should be able to turn approvals around faster, so we can get them to the customers," she says. Preparers will be able to password protect and email PDFs from within ProSeries, a feature already available in Lacerte.
An important feature being added is the ability to lock a return once it has been completed. "That is our most highly requested change," according to Kozloski.
Getting More Digital
Drake Software is working on the ability to capture signatures electronically with a signature pad.
"The signed copy can be stored and distributed electronically," says James Stork, VP of strategic development for the Franklin, N.C.-based company. "We have had a number of requests for this."
Drake is also expanding the release of its Drake Hosted Solution so that the company's entire application suite will be available in the cloud via Citrix.
"We did a very small pilot of this last year. We had a handful of users that were on it and it went very well," says Stork. "We are going to expand it quite a bit this year." Stork said the program will be made available to all who are interested, but in terms of how much it is expanded, "I think it is going to control itself."
The company plans to improve SecureFile Pro, its system for secure online document transfer. Last season was the second year of full release. "We have quite a few customers utilizing that product to communicate back and forth with their clients," he says.
Affordable Care
All publishers are facing the issues of the Affordable Care Act and are deciding how to help their professional tax customers, whether through education efforts or tools in the software product itself.
"We are going to be providing a complete range of education options regarding the affordable care act, Stork says. " We are looking at offering some onsite classes, some webinars" Drake has a selection for "Affordable Care" under the resources tab on its home page.
Information offered includes FAQ sections for employers and taxpayers with the latter including a number of links to government and informational websites. Drake has also provided tools, such as an employer penalty calculator and for taxpayers, credit, credit qualification and penalty calculators.
Thomson Reuters is also developing a workflow for dealing with the Act, which Fleszar describes as a key effort of this year's software development. TaxWise also has webinars and training sessions rolling out. However, SFS president Jason Marx says that everyone is constrained by the incomplete regulatory framework for Affordable Care.
But his company is getting inquiries from preparers. "They want to get invested to understand what they should be thinking about until there is a tighter framework," he says.

Internet: An Overview of Key Technology Policy Issues Affecting Its Use and Growth
Description: The Internet touches almost every aspect of modern life. The extend to which use of the Internet continues to grow, however, may be affected by a number of technology policy issues being debated in Congress. First is the availability of high speed -- or "broadband" -- Internet access. Next are a range of issues that reflect challenges faced by those who do use the Internet, such as security, privacy, unsolicited commercial electronic mail ("spam"), protecting children from unsuitable material, and computer security, including the vulnerability of the national infrastructure. Other issues include the governance of the Internet's domain name system. The evolving role of the Internet in the political economy of the United States also continues to attract congressional attention.

Protect Your Home From Ice Dams This Winter
Fresh snow in wintertime can transform your neighborhood into a beautiful, sparkling wonderland, with icicles hanging from roofs. What you might not know, however, is that the icicles clinging to your home's eves might be hiding a potentially damaging ice dam. Unfortunately, for our staff and residents of Rockville, Maryland, ice damage is not an uncommon occurrence.
Ice Dams Cause Damage
Ice dams cause millions of dollars of damage to homes and businesses every year. An ice dam is created when snow and ice high on your building's ridgeline begins to melt from indoor heat loss. The melted water runs down the roof slope under the blanket of snow and refreezes into a band of ice at the roof's edge, creating a "dam". Additional snowmelt pools against the dam and can eventually leak into the building through the attic or along exterior walls.
Any amount of water leaking into a building can cause extensive water damage. You could be faced with water-stained ceilings, dislodged roof shingles, sagging ice-filled gutters, peeling paint and damaged plaster.
Your attic insulation could also become wet, further exacerbating the problem. Water-soaked insulation compresses and, after it dries, isn't as thick as before. Thinner insulation means higher heat loss and more ice dams, causing more wet insulation. It's a vicious cycle. As a result, you'll pay more to heat (and cool) your house. Wet attic insulation is also a magnet for mold and mildew.
Prevent Ice Dams
- Make sure your attic has sufficient insulation to prevent heat loss from the house to the roof surface.
- Install a continuous air barrier to retard the flow of heated air to the underside of the roof.
- Have an effective roof ventilation system to keep the roof sheathing cold.
- Seal all openings that would allow water vapor to rise into the attic, including ceiling-mounted light fixtures and ceiling fans.
- Provide good attic ventilation to replace warm air in the attic with cold outside air.
Fast Fixes
If you do find yourself with an ice dam, here are some things you can do to minimize the damage.
- Blow cold air to the attic with a box fan aimed at the underside of the roof. This will freeze any water leaking into your home in its tracks.
- Rake snow off your roof with a long-handled aluminum roof rake. This specially designed rake with wheels won't harm the roofing.
- Don't hack away at the ice dam with a hammer or shovel, since you can damage your shingles.
Call Tri State Restorations
If you should find yourself in the unlucky situation of having your home or business damaged by water as the result of an ice dam, call on Tri State Restorations. We provide 24/7 emergency water damage cleanup and restoration. Our Rockville location allows us to quickly arrive for water damage repair in Rockville, Potomac and throughout the rest of Montgomery County, Maryland.

Episode 2
The Alyona Show Episode Two begins with an interview with the head of the American branch of Human Rights Watch. The U.S. is the only country in the world to issue life sentences without parole to juvenile
offenders - are there cases when this is appropriate? Episode two also features an interview about a proposed new tax on soft drinks. Is it the same as taxing cigarettes or just one more way to get into consumers' pockets?
And what about that NBC show, The Wanted? Did it blur the line between news and entertainment? Finally, Alyona moderates a debate between two young women intent on breaking down America's two-party system - but for completely different reasons.

The Centre of Plant Structural and Functional Genomics has been established to study the structure and function of nuclear genome in higher plants. The laboratory is a part of the Institute of Experimental Botany and the Centre of the Region Haná for Biotechnological and Agricultural Research. The main focus is on economically important crops like cereals, legumes, bananas and plantains.
Methodological approaches involve classical and molecular cytogenetics, flow cytometry and sorting, recombinant DNA techniques and construction of chromosome- and chromosome arm-specific BAC libraries. Because of the complexity of research projects, the Laboratory collaborates with many research groups throughout the world. The laboratory staff is also involved in teaching and technology transfer, including consultancy services in the above mentioned areas.
Flow cytogenetics involve chromosome analysis and sorting using flow cytometry applications of sorted chromosomes include physical mapping using PCR, targeted isolation of molecular markers, isolation of low-copy (genic) sequences from specific genome regions, high-throughput physical mapping of DNA sequences by hybridization to DNA arrays, as well as HAPPY and optical mapping.
The most attractive use of sorted chromosomes is the production of chromosome- and chromosome arm-specific DNA libraries. Such libraries provide a permanent and easily accessible molecular resource specific for a particular part of the genome, is expected to have a major impact on wheat genomics.
Flow cytometry is powerful technique with many application. We used it for genome size estimation, ploidy measurement and flow karyotype analysis of higher plants.
We interested in molecular evolution and organization of Musa genome and serve as the Musa Genome Resources Centre (MGRC). The primary aim of the Centre is to support research activities of the Musa Genomics Consortium by distributing Musa genome resources to Consortium Members and by developing new resources.
We are using molecular cytogenetic methods (FISH and GISH) to study genomic constitution of Festuca × Lolium hybrids, chromosome pairing during meiosis, and to map BAC clones on chromosomes of Festuca pratensis. In collaboration with other labs, we also developed set of introgression lines of all F. pratensis chromosomes in tetraploid L. multiflorum and DArT chip for five species within Festuca-Lolium complex.
