Jenna Laine Talks Post-Freeman Buccaneers, MRSA, and Schiano
Bucs/NFL Insider
Follow @ JennaLaineBucs
It's hard to believe that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have parted ways with former franchise quarterback Josh Freeman, but that's what happened last week, and now both parties have moved on.
I joined Sports Talk Florida Mornings' host Eric Lopez to talk about how the Freeman saga was handled, how things with the Bucs ended, who came off looking better, and how he fits in with his new team, the Vikings.
We also talked about Ronde Barber's comments on Josh Freeman, and how he threw his former starting quarterback under the bus by calling him 'manipulative.'
We also talked about the latest with the NFLPA's investigation of the Bucs' MRSA outbreak and some new revelations that have surfaced. There are still a lot of things that remain unclear in the situation, but bottom line — it doesn't look good when attempting to lure free agents.
You can listen to it all here:

The Gates Foundation and the Future of US "Public" Schools
Edited by Philip E. Kovacs

Routledge – 2011 – 232 pages
There has been much public praise for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's efforts to reform public education. However, few scholars have engaged substantively and critically with the organization's work. While the Gates Foundation is the single largest supporter by far of "choice" initiatives particularly with regard to charter school formation, it is pushing public school privatization through a wide array of initiatives and in conjunction with a number of other foundations. What are the implications for a public system as control over educational policy and priority is concentrated under one of the richest people on the planet in ways that foster de-unionization and teacher de-skilling while homogenizing school models and curriculum? The Gates Foundation and the Future of US "Public" Schools addresses this crucial, unanswered question while investigating the relationships between the Gates Foundation and other think tanks, government, and corporate institutions.

Document Automation That Works
ContractExpress document automation is trusted by the world's leading law firms and corporations to generate standard legal documents from automated templates, reducing or eliminating the delays, costs, bottlenecks, and risks inherent with manual drafting.
With automated contract drafting, lawyers are freed to work on higher value negotiations, non-standard matters, and realizable matters. The result is a faster, more efficient, more consistent, more compliant legal service. Everyone wins.
Partners and GCs trust ContractExpress because their lawyers are able to quickly and accurately automate and update their legal templates in Word without requiring IT specialists to convert their legal templates into computer programs.
Why Law Firms Use ContractExpress
Law firms use ContractExpress document assembly to win new clients, retain key clients, and increase partner profits:
- as an online marketing tool to "showcase" firms' advanced capabilities to win new clients. The most recent example is Cooley GO using ContractExpress 5.
- as a client collaboration tool to enable their clients to complete an intelligent and interactive online questionnaire on the firm's web site or sent by email, and have the generated Word document automatically sent to an associate for review.
- as a client portal to provide their clients with user specific "dashboards" to enter new deal information, roundtrip answers into newer versions, and generate locked PDFs or automatically route to an lawyer for review depending on the client's answers.
- as a volume document assembly "engine" in conjunction with data-driven workflow engines to manage volumes of employment claims on behalf of large corporate clients on-shore and at a price that satisfies the client and makes a healthy profit for the partnership.
- as a client document generator by associates and paralegals to rapidly and accurately create client draft documents for subsequent negotiation by the firm's lawyers, optionally aided by ContractExpress Drafter. And to generate repetitive "secondary" deal documents such as bondholders' memos.
- as an engagement letter generator to create consistent and compliant engagement letters, ethical wall memos, and other firm administrative documents where speed, consistency, compliance, integration with other systems, and cost reduction are important.
Generating a Document in Preview Mode
Document assembly is sometimes regarded as a "black box". Questions are answered and documents are generated, with no visibility as to what is happening inside the document. ContractExpress Preview changes this by enabling lawyers to observe changes in the document in real time as they answer the questionnaire.
Featured Case Study: Seyfarth Shaw
Why Corporations Use ContractExpress
Corporations across all industries use ContractExpress document automation to:
• Reduce delays by eliminating the drafting bottleneck in Legal,
• Reduce costs by improving efficiency and better utilizing lawyers' time,
• Reduce risk and improve compliance by standardizing contract language and approvals.
By combining automated contract drafting with approval work-flows, ContractExpress enables business users to initiate contract requests and receive signature-ready, locked PDFs when their request is complete and compliant. We call this trusted self-service contract creation, or "PDF or Lawyer".
Approval process
Incomplete, non-compliant, or non-standard answers, including any request by the counterparty for changes or the Word version, are routed with an alerting email to defined legal and/or business approvers. Approvers can view and edit the user's answers, and approve, reject, or reassign to another approver. Lawyers can access fully styled and versioned Word documents generated from the user's answers for negotiation with the counterparty's lawyers.
Compliance and Audit
Every step of the process is logged for audit and management reporting. Executed contracts with the associated high-integrity contract data are exported to a contract management site for searching, alerting, and reporting.
Improving client service and law department efficiency
Law departments use ContractExpress automated drafting for the creation and approval of business development agreements including NDAs, license agreements, sales agreements, and procurement agreements. Business clients receive approved contracts more quickly, while the lawyers are able to focus on non-standard, high value matters.

"If the questions are answered in such a way that it does not create the need for an external review, a Cisco account manager can sign up a distribution partner in an hour or less."

KPMG in Qatar has observed that the QFC Tax Department is closely reviewing inter-group transactions and making significantly more enquiries about inter-group transactions. Thus, it is imperative for every QFC entity to ensure that its transfer prices can successfully withstand a QFC Tax Department challenge.
Thin capitalization and safe harbor rules
The new manual includes extensive discussion and guidance on thin capitalization related to the analysis of capital structures and borrowing capacity in order to establish arm's length lending and corresponding arm's length deductible interest expense. The manual specifically addresses thin capitalization for banks and financial institutions and insurance companies.
Safe harbor rules (capital gearing ratio) are set out for financial and non-financial entities that define ratios that would be acceptable to the QFC. These rules are non-statutory and are non-binding on either the taxpayer or the QFC Tax Department.
The manual also highlights the need to review various aspects, such as business activity and regulatory requirements, before determining the capital and debt structure.
The manual specifies four classes of records or evidence that need to be considered for transfer pricing purposes:
The scope and extent of the documentation can be determined based on the nature, size and complexity of the transaction or series of transactions. The manual offers reasonable relief by stating that a comprehensive transfer pricing study, supported by an appropriate benchmarking analysis, will be a significant factor in deciding on the necessity of further enquiry on such transactions.
If a QFC entity fails to maintain records and documentation that are sufficient to establish compliance with arm's length standards, the entity could be subject to penalties for failure to maintain adequate records (under Article 96) or for making an incorrect return (under Article 107(4)).
Transfer pricing methodologies and comparability analyses
For the purpose of meeting the arm's length standard, the QFC Tax Department relies on the transfer pricing methodologies set out in the Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
In conducting comparability analyses, the QFC's transfer pricing manual stresses a preference for the use of internal comparables within the group over external ones. For selecting external comparables, regional comparables are preferred. In their absence, however, comparables from other countries/regions could be considered, subject to a review of whether the territorial differences lead to market differences.
Advance rulings
A QFC entity can apply for advance rulings and/or advance pricing agreements (per Article 93) and obtain a higher level of certainty on the proposed transfer prices. In certain cases the QFC Tax Department may grant an advanced ruling covering up to two or three years.

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15, 2013 – LSI Corporation (NASDAQ: LSI) today introduced its Axxia® 4500 product family of communication processors designed to accelerate network performance while supporting increasing traffic loads throughout the enterprise.
Axxia 4500 is LSI's first ARM technology-based communication processor family designed for enterprise and datacenter networking applications as well as evolving Software Defined Networks (SDN). By combining LSI®networking accelerators and Virtual Pipeline™ technology with ARM's power-efficient cores and scalable interconnect, the new Axxia processors are specifically designed to address the performance challenges facing next-generation networks.
"As more business and personal information moves to the cloud, the need to access data quickly and securely from any location, at any time, is critical and is forcing customers to look at new ways to manage this traffic," said Jim Anderson, senior vice president and general manager, Networking Solutions Group, LSI. "The networks that carry the data are being tasked to do more than ever before, and the Axxia 4500 communication processor family is purpose-built to deliver the high performance required by these demanding trends."
The Axxia 4500 processor family includes LSI field-proven acceleration engines that incorporate decades of communications solutions expertise. The new processors also include up to four ARM Cortex™-A15 cores with a CoreLink™ CCN-504 coherent, QoS aware interconnect in 28nm process technology. The addition of LSI Virtual Pipeline technology allows equipment developers the ability to essentially reconfigure the processors for optimal performance on a packet-by-packet basis. The Axxia 4500 processors also include up to 100Gb/s of L2 switching function to reduce board space and bill of material costs.
"A data-rich, always-on, always-connected lifestyle is here and is constantly growing in potential. There is a vast growth of data to come and we can only imagine the possibilities it will present to consumers and businesses," said Ian Ferguson, vice president, Segment Marketing, ARM. "ARM and LSI are providing secure, low-power solutions that enable next-generation networks to handle this explosion of data. The combination of ARM's interconnect, energy-efficient multicore processor technology and advanced physical IP implementation, with LSI network acceleration framework, can enable customers to discover dramatic gains in performance within the parameters of practical power budgets."
A key challenge facing many datacenter network managers is the fast emergence of SDN. SDN will require high levels of secure communication between SDN controllers and network elements such as switches and routers. Axxia packet processing and security accelerators are ideally suited to process secure communications for SDN protocols like OpenFlow. The flexibility of Axxia programmable accelerators allows Axxia technology-based solutions to provide a performance advantage in traditional networks, full SDN systems and hybrid environments, valuable as networks transition to SDN technology.
LSI will begin sampling the Axxia 4500 in Q4. LSI is showcasing its portfolio of networking acceleration solutions at the Open Networking Summit 2013 in Santa Clara from April 15-17.

Established in 1922, the company reincorporated in 1928 and adopted its present name in 1959. The company has around 73,000 employees worldwide and annual revenues of approximately US$20 billion. More than 90 percent of Raytheon's revenues were obtained from defense contracts and, as of 2007, it was the fifth largest defense contractor in the world, and is the fourth largest defense contractor in the United States by revenue.
Raytheon Headquarters was moved from Lexington, Massachusetts to Waltham, Massachusetts on October 27, 2003. The company was previously headquartered in Waltham from 1941 until it opened its then Lexington headquarters in 1961.
In 1925 the company changed its name to Raytheon Manufacturing Company and began marketing its rectifier, under the Raytheon brand name, with great commercial success. In 1928 Raytheon merged with Q.R.S. Company, an American manufacturer of electron tubes and switches, to form the successor of the same previous name, Raytheon Manufacturing Company. In 1933 it diversified by acquiring Acme-Delta Company, a producer of transformers, power equipment, and electronic auto parts. By the 1930s it had already grown to become one of the world's largest vacuum tube manufacturing companies.
Raytheon's research on the magnetron tube revealed the potential of microwaves to cook food. In 1945 Raytheon's Percy Spencer invented the microwave oven by discovering that the magnetron could rapidly heat food. In 1947 the company demonstrated the Radarange microwave oven for commercial use.
During the post-war years Raytheon also made radio and television transmitters and related equipment for the commercial market in the U.S. and got into the educational publishing business with the acquisition of D.C. Heath. In the 1950s Raytheon began manufacturing transistors, including the CK722, priced and marketed to hobbyists.
In 1965 it acquired Amana Refrigeration, Inc., a manufacturer of refrigerators and air conditioners. Using the Amana brand name and its distribution channels, Raytheon began selling the first countertop household microwave oven in 1967 and became a dominant manufacturer in the microwave oven business.
Raytheon also divested itself of several nondefense businesses in the 1990s, including Amana Refrigeration. On October 12, 1999 Raytheon exited the personal rapid transit (PRT) business as it terminated its PRT 2000 system due to high-cost of development and lack of interest. The PRT 2000 prototype now sits idle at their Marlboro, Massachusetts facility.
Raytheon's businesses are supported by several dedicated international operations including: Raytheon Australia (Managing Director, Ron Fisher); Raytheon Canada Limited; operations in Japan; Raytheon Microelectronics in Spain; Raytheon System Limited in the UK; and ThalesRaytheonSystems, France.
Raytheon is a developer and manufacturer of radars (including AESAs), electro-optical sensors, and other advanced electronics systems for airborne, naval and ground based military applications. Examples include:
Raytheon is a developer of missiles and related missile defense systems. These include:
Just one year earlier, on October 14, 1993, Raytheon paid $3.7 million to settle allegations that it misled the U.S. Defense Department by overstating the labor costs involved in manufacturing Patriot missiles. "The recovery of this money is yet another warning to contractors that the Truth in Negotiations Act's information disclosure requirements will be strictly and sternly enforced," Frank Hunger, assistant attorney general, said in a statement.
In 1995, Raytheon acquired Dallas-based E-Systems, including a site in St. Petersburg, Florida. In November 1991, prior to Raytheon's acquisition, contamination had been discovered at the E-Systems site. Soil and groundwater had been contaminated with the volatile organic compounds trichloroethylene and 1,4-Dioxane. In 2005 groundwater monitoring indicated polluted groundwater was moving into areas outside the site. According to DEP documentation, Raytheon has tested wells on its site since 1996 but had not delivered a final report; therefore, it was given a deadline on May 31, 2008 to investigate its groundwater.
In another case, Raytheon was ordered by the Environmental Protection Agency to treat groundwater at the Tucson Plant (acquired during the merger with Hughes) in Arizona since Raytheon used and disposed metals, chlorinated solvents, and other substances at the plant since 1951. The EPA further required the installation and operation of an oxidation process system to treat the solvents and make the water safe to drink.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — New details about a local pastor charged with sex crimes against a child. Today, we dug a little deeper into the file of Thomas Archie Wiggins, Jr. at the New Hanover County Courthouse.
Wiggins is charged with five counts of statutory rape and five counts of indecent liberties with a minor. According to court documents the alleged crimes happened between 1998 and 2000. They also say the victim was a teenage boy.
Wiggins has been ordered to stay away from children, the victim and any witnesses.
Wiggins was not at Faith Temple Church of God in Christ in Wilmington yesterday, where he is pastor.

Eliasson warned that national borders are starting to lose relevance.
BEIRUT: As the Syrian conflict drags on, its sectarian dimensions are becoming more pronounced, increasing the possibility that violence will further push into Lebanon, according to U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson. Speaking to reporters this week during a visit to Lebanon, Eliasson said strife in Syria had dominated the discussions he had held with political leaders in the country.
Calling the situation in Syria "critical," he said the war was "turning more and more sectarian and ethnic and religious, and with that national borders start to lose relevance," with tensions extending beyond them.
"You [Lebanon] are the ones, historically, who have always paid the price of some of the actions of outside sources utilizing the religious or ethnic aspects in Syria."
Although he said the U.N. remained committed to reaching a political solution to the 21-month uprising against President Bashar Assad, he acknowledged that divisions within the Security Council "make this very difficult."
Russia has blocked attempts by other Security Council members to move on Syria, and U.N. Special Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi's recent talks with the U.S. and Russia on a possible transitional government appeared to yield little more than an acceptance that a political process should be the goal.
Eliasson said he had recently spoken to Brahimi, who is working from last June's Geneva Declaration that calls for a transitional government.
The U.N. official cited "some progress, but still some ways to go before we can see a consensus in positions." In the meantime, Eliasson said the "muscular power of the United Nations is diminished" by the current lack of unity, adding that divisions in the Security Council "translate to weakness in our possibility of stopping this."
The U.N. is planning for what Eliasson called "day after" scenarios in Syria, which he said originally included programs such as institution building, establishing the rule of law, and help in areas like health and education.
Eliasson said there appeared to be a growing need for reconciliation efforts, given the fierceness and length of the fighting. He added that he could not rule out the possibility that the Security Council would have to consider some sort of presence in a post-conflict Syria, be it in the form of peacekeepers or observers.
During his time in Lebanon, Eliasson visited with Syrian refugees, 150,000 of whom are now registered in the country. The diplomat had penciled notes in the inside cover of a pocket-sized U.N. Charter from his conversations with refugees, and even in their abbreviated form they managed to convey many of the difficulties that refugees face. He read them aloud: "problems with registration; time; medical care; political activist; human rights activist; threat to his family; mother of six children; husband in Saudi Arabia; neighbor had to leave but her children were kidnapped and they had to pay ransom."
But Eliasson also expressed appreciation for Lebanon's "generosity and hospitality" in hosting refugees. Unlike Turkey and Jordan, which also host large refugee populations, Lebanon has so far not established camps, a choice the U.N. official called a national one.
The U.N. is also well aware of the financial implications of the refugee issue for the country, Eliasson said, pledging to make the case for supporting both national and United Nations programs that are assisting refugees.
Despite the recent round of fighting in Tripoli between rival pro- and anti-Assad neighborhoods, Eliasson deemed Lebanon's disassociation policy toward the Syrian conflict a successful strategy.
"We commend that policy very strongly, and I think there is reason to make the point that all parties need to live up to that declaration because ... in the U.N. we are impressed that you have kept yourselves away from the conflict. There were many who feared that you very easily would be drawn into it, but you have managed it very well," he said.
Keeping a distance from what he described as a civil war will be a boon to Lebanon's own security and stability.
"You [Lebanon] have suffered so much in the past, you have been the pawns in geopolitical chess games regionally and internationally, and ... I hope this time you will not be drawn into it."
As for south Lebanon, where he visited with UNIFIL commander Maj. Gen. Paolo Serra, Eliasson left with the impression that the situation was "relatively stable and quiet."
Eliasson would not be drawn on domestic politics, other than to say he had received "a very strong message of trying to work together" from his talks with high-level politicians.
Among those with whom he met were President Michel Sleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Najib Mikati, former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora and Transport Minister Ghazi Aridi.
Eliasson had originally planned to meet with Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt, but he met instead with PSP official Aridi as Jumblatt had been abroad.
"Without going into details," he said, "there is hope of improving the contacts" that are currently stalled by March 14's boycott of National Dialogue and Parliament sessions attended by Cabinet members which the opposition has vowed to continue until Mikati's government resigns.

In the 2014 General Election the three Green Party MWRD candidates received 11.3% of the all the votes cast for MWRD candidates. This continues the trend of the Green Party MWRD candidates getting very respectable percentage results in this large district in which 2,880,820 votes were cast. Many voters are ready to give the Green Party the chance to see what we can do to improve the environmental and fiscal responsibility of the MWRD.
We thank all of those who put their trust in the Green Party. We pledge to continue to provide qualified and responsible candidates to put forward the Green Party program for the MWRD.
We thank all the volunteers who promoted the Green Party campaign for the MWRD. We thank all those who donated money to help us get the word out.

If several raised fingers are any indication, some LGBT activists who visited the White House last week are fully evolved on what they think of President Ronald Reagan.
In a photo, removed from her Facebook page Friday afternoon (but posted here by the Philly Post), Philadelphia photographer Zoe Strauss is pictured waving two middle fingers at Reagan's presidential portrait. She did, at least, have the courtesy to tag Reagan in the photo.
Strauss joined Matty Hart, national director of public engagement at Solutions for Progress, in using the White House's 2012 LGBT pride reception to express his distaste for the late Republican president. On Friday, Hart posted a similar photo on Facebook, accompanied by a certain four-letter word and the ex-commander in chief's last name. source
yeah....really classy....that will get you lots of support.

I'm not sure the proposal in The Last Word to leave a gap of six to eight car lengths between vehicles to avoid phantom jams on motorways would work (6 October). In my experience, as traffic density builds, some lane-hopper will invariably cut into a gap that size. Drivers then close up to stop further cutting in. Human irrational behaviour always trumps nice neat computer flow models.

UE soccer team's defender finds himself one step short of MLS
Charlie Macias accomplished after one season at the University of Evansville something most soccer players never do.
Macias, a defender for the Purple Aces, is playing this summer one rung below Major League Soccer on the Columbus Crew's U19 and U20 teams.
"Most college athletes are hoping to play at the next level, and hopefully this experience I'm getting now sets me apart," said the Westerville, Ohio, native.
Feeder systems like the Crew's align amateurs with a professional team to train future players in-house, a cheaper alternative to buying stars away from other teams.
The Crew's U20 team qualified for the United Soccer League's Super-20 Finals played at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., this Thursday through Sunday. Macias heads to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Rock Hill, S.C., with the U19 team from July 25-29.
Those events create exposure that not many players can match, as playing for the Crew's U19 and U20 teams equates to a spot on a Cape Cod League roster in summer collegiate baseball.
"This is pretty much as good as it gets," he said. "I'll travel to Florida, I'll come home for a day and then I'll travel to South Carolina. There's a chance to win two national championships in two weeks, which would just be awesome."
The Crew's U20 team has won back-to-back national titles, and the U19s last won in 2010. While championships are hardly unprecedented for the Crew, Evansville coach Mike Jacobs said it's uncommon to see a player put himself in position for one as fast as Macias.
"To have a guy at 19 years old starting for teams that are normally for older players is pretty unique," Jacobs said. "Their hope is for guys like Charlie, if they develop, to eventually play for these teams."
Before his freshman season at Evansville, Macias played for the Crew's Soccer Academy and was the leading scorer for his high school, St. Charles Prep. He helped UE post three shutouts last season and scored his first collegiate goal Oct. 12 against Drake.
Macias plays left midfielder for the Crew's youth programs, where instead of thinking defense first he "feels more free to attack and move the ball forward."
Experiences with the Crew have led Macias to play in the team's MLS stadium. He's also competed against Evansville teammates Joel Craig, Peter May and Nick Schroeder this summer.
The Purple Aces soccer team returns to campus at the beginning of August and hosts the University of Indianapolis Aug. 15 in its first exhibition game.
"Our college soccer season is similar to college football in that we train all spring semester, and the hope is we have them in match shape ready to start the season," Jacobs said. "But, unfortunately for us, our season starts in August, so we send our guys off to these different franchises over the summer to maintain the fitness level they built during the course of the spring.
"Then in August, rather than have them get in shape, they're ready to go."

OSGi™ Alliance Trademark Policy
Version 7.0
This document outlines the policy of the OSGi™ Alliance regarding the use of its trademarks. Any use of any OSGi Alliance trademark must adhere to this policy. As used in this memo, "trademarks" includes the OSGi Alliance's logo, the names of its various products, the trademark "OSGi" and the Alliance domain name "osgi.org."
The OSGi Alliance trademarks include the names OSGi™, as well as the OSGi logotype and the OSGi Users' Forum and OSGi Users' Group logos.
The OSGi Alliance's trademark policy attempts to balance two competing interests: the OSGi Alliance's need to ensure that its trademarks remain reliable indicators of quality and security; and the OSGi Alliance's desire to permit community members, specification implementers and other supporters that the OSGi Alliance works with to discuss the OSGi Alliance's specifications and to accurately describe their affiliation with the OSGi Alliance. Striking a proper balance is a tricky situation that many organizations -- in particular those whose products are distributed electronically -- wrestle with every day.
Although the OSGi Alliance's trademark policy comprises a number of specific rules, some contained in companion documents, most reflect the overarching requirement that your use of the OSGi Alliance's trademarks is not confusing or disparaging. By "not confusing," the OSGi Alliance means that people should always know who they are dealing with and where the product they are using was produced. Web sites and specifications that are not produced by the OSGi Alliance shouldn't imply, either directly or by omission, that they were produced by the Alliance. Software that is not compliant with the OSGi Alliance's specifications shouldn't imply, either directly or by omission, that it is compliant. By "not disparaging," the OSGi Alliance means that, outside the bounds of fair use, you cannot use our trademarks as vehicles for defaming OSGi technology or the OSGi Alliance, or for sullying the technology's or Alliance's reputation. These basic requirements can serve as a guide as you work your way through the policy.
Rules of Proper Use of the OSGi Trademark
Whenever possible, a trademark should be used as an attribute immediately preceding the generic noun that describes the object in question. For example:
the OSGi™ Alliance
an OSGi™ Alliance member
the OSGi™ Service Platform
an OSGi™ Service Platform Specification-compliant product
OSGi™ technology
Proper Form:
The OSGi Alliance's trademarks should be used in their exact form -- neither abbreviated nor combined with any other word or words (e.g., "OSGi" rather than "OSGi-based" or "osgi"). Please see detailed description of the proper use of OSGi trademarks below for more information.
A notice should appear nearby the first use of the OSGi Alliance trademark (at least on the same page or at the end of the document): "OSGi is a trademark or a registered trademark of the OSGi Alliance in the United States, other countries, or both."
Trademark Attribution:
On the first usage within a document or on a piece of collateral or signage, the OSGi trademark should feature the trademark symbol (™). The symbol is placed immediately after the trademark, either in superscript or subscript. If the appropriate symbol keys are not available in your word processing software, use of the symbols in parenthetical form is also appropriate [e.g., (sm) or (tm)]. Subsequent uses within the same document do not need to carry the symbol.
ALWAYS use the proper spelling and the proper trademark symbol.
ALWAYS use an OSGi trademark in the way it was intended. The trademarks are not to be used for goods or services for which they were not originally intended. Do not alter them in any way.
The OSGi Alliance requests that you obtain written approval before using the OSGi trademark in a company name, product name or in or on any product, packaging, labels, or advertisements. A form of product name that clearly separates the origin of the product from the environment it runs in is more likely to receive OSGi Alliance approval. It could take the form of "CompanyName BrandName ProductName for OSGi Service Platforms." Or, for example, "CoolCompany Diamond WiringBundles for OSGi Service Platforms." Please send an e-mail to to request approval for your use of the trademark.
NEVER use an OSGi trademark in a derogatory fashion. Do not use an OSGi trademark in any manner that might be understood to suggest an association with or sponsorship by the OSGi Alliance, nor to express or imply endorsement by the OSGi Alliance of a training program, seminar series, corporate name, or product, if not approved by the Alliance. However, the OSGi trademark may be used as part of a truthful statement that a company is an "OSGi Member."
Do not use an OSGi trademark in any fashion that could result in a likelihood of confusion between OSGi specifications and services, and the goods and services of any other entity.
No Possessives:
An OSGi trademark must never be used in possessive form. For example, one would not refer to "OSGi's features" but rather to "... the features of the OSGi™ technology" or "the OSGi™ technology's features."
No Plurals:
An OSGi trademark must never be used in plural form. For example, one would not refer to "OSGis" but rather to "OSGi Service Platform Specification-compliant products."
No Verbs:
An OSGi trademark must never be used as a verb. For example, one should not use "OSGiize."
As the sole exception to the rules above, the OSGi Alliance will permit, but does not encourage, the following standalone usage of the registered trademark "OSGi":
This exception will allow sentences like "We base our project on OSGi," or "We love OSGi."
Domain Names
You are not allowed to directly include all or part of an OSGi Alliance trademark in a domain name without written permission from the OSGi Alliance.
People naturally associate domain names with organizations whose names sound similar. Almost any use of an OSGi Alliance trademark in a domain name is likely to confuse consumers, thus violating the overarching "not confusing" requirement of the OSGi Alliance trademark policy.
If you want to enhance your Web site address by referring to the OSGi trademark, you can add it as follows: "xyz.abc/osgi."
If you would like to establish an OSGi users' forum or group, please review the Guidelines and Requirements for OSGi™ Users' Groups and Users' Forums. We encourage you to join an existing official OSGi Users' Forum or contact the OSGi Alliance to form a new, official regional users' forum or group. Each users' forum or group endorsed by the OSGi Alliance will be provided with an official, customized OSGi users' forum or group logo and respective URL.
Services Related to the OSGi Alliance Specifications
If you offer services related to the OSGi Alliance specifications, you may use the OSGi Alliance's trademarks in describing and advertising your services, as long as you don't violate these overall guidelines for the use of the OSGi Alliance's trademarks or do anything that might mislead customers into thinking that the OSGi Alliance has any direct relationship with your organization. For example, it's OK if your Web site says, "Software consulting services for OSGi technology available here." It's OK, though, if it says, "OSGi consulting services sold here," or "OSGi ACME specification available here," since the first suggests that the OSGi Alliance is related to your business, and the second is confusing as to who -- you or the OSGi Alliance -- created the specification. When in doubt, err on the side of providing more, rather than less, explanation and information, particularly in indicating the true source of the product or service being described.
OSGi Logos
Only members of the OSGi Alliance may display the OSGi Alliance logo on their own Web sites for the purpose of indicating their membership in the OSGi Alliance. For a more thorough description, please check out the OSGi Alliance Logo Usage Policy. Members may make t-shirts, desktop wallpaper, or baseball caps with the OSGi Alliance logos on them, though only for themselves and their friends (meaning people from whom they do not receive anything of value in return). You cannot put the OSGi Alliance logo on anything that you produce commercially -- at least not without receiving the OSGi Alliance's permission. Please send an e-mail to to request permission to use the OSGi Alliance logo.
Do not produce modified versions of the OSGi logo. A modified logo would raise the possibility of consumer confusion, thus violating the OSGi Alliance's trademarks guidelines.
Please contact the OSGi Alliance if you require a high-resolution copy of the OSGi Alliance logos.
The OSGi Alliance has tried to make its trademark policy as comprehensive and clear as possible. If you have any questions, please contact the OSGi Alliance at .

Marilyn Manson has a message for Paris Jackson: You're welcome at my concert anytime
As people ask why Paris Jackson attempted to kill herself Wednesay (June 5), one of the events leading up to the incident being reported is she was told she could not attend a concert by shock rocker Marilyn Manson. According to TMZ, Paris "threw a fit" and ran, screaming into her room before slamming the door after she didn't get permission.
Never one to shy away from any sort of controversy, Manson himself has a message for Jackson. "I hope you feel better," Manson says, "You will be on my guest list anytime you want."
It's highly unlikely that Paris wasn't able to go because she couldn't get tickets, so being on Manson's guest list probably doesn't make it possible for her to attend a show. The rocker will be performing with Alice Cooper Thursday (June 6) in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Paris is still in the hospital, but reportedly doing okay.

ZIMBABWE took an early lead on the first day of the junior golf tri-nations tournament at Chapman yesterday. Justin Kersten, Tanaka Mhere and Jack Allard inspired the team to an early lead as they won their matches.
The team appears too strong for their opponents Zambia and Botswana.
The annual event was last year held in Malawi and Zimbabwe convincingly won it.
Yesterday the game started with foursomes in the morning and Zimbabwe had to pair Kiren Vincent with Stewart Krog, Mbongeni Maphosa partnered Kristen Justin while Jack Allard and David Amm completed the pairings.
After the first round, Zimbabwe managed 10 points with Zambia on six while Botswana managed two points.
The players used the foursomes format which they will use again this morning.
The afternoon event were the singles and the Zimbabwe team used Amm and Allard.
Zimbabwe continued with their dominance in the singles as they managed 18 points with Zambia on second while Botswana were a distant seven points.
Team manager, Roger Baylis, believes the young players are doing fairly well.
"We started on a high note and we hope to continue with the same form.

Pluto will henceforth be known as minor planet 134340 Pluto, according to a new designation by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center.
The decision to include Pluto among the many asteroids and comets in the minor planet catalog makes official the icy body's recent - and highly controversial - demotion from planethood.
Pluto's status was changed from "planet" to "dwarf planet" at a meeting of the IAU in Prague on 24 August. Many astronomers are unhappy with the new planet definition that excludes Pluto and some of them are organising a conference to come up with an alternative definition (see Astronomers plot to overturn planet definition).
But the official catalog of small bodies in the solar system is under the authority of the IAU, and it recently added Pluto to its list of minor planets.
Tim Spahr, the interim director of the IAU's Minor Planet Center (MPC) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, says this was done for the sake of consistency. That is because the IAU decided that Ceres, an asteroid already in the minor planet catalog, is also a "dwarf planet".
Spahr says the IAU will soon create a new catalog of dwarf planets. "Ceres is already in the minor planet catalog, so the simplest thing is to put these in the minor planet catalog and the dwarf planet catalog," he told New Scientist.
'Scientific heresy'
Initially, there will be three objects in the dwarf planet catalog: Pluto, Ceres, and the distant object 2003 UB313, which is unofficially named Xena. The IAU will decide on an official name for 2003 UB313 in a month or two, he says.
An IAU working group is being set up to decide whether any other objects qualify for the dwarf planet list. Other Pluto-like objects, such as 2005 FY9, will be considered for membership, Spahr says.
Not everyone has been quick to adopt the new planet definition, however. On the day of the IAU decision, two members of the California state assembly introduced a resolution condemning the "mean-spirited" IAU for its decision on Pluto, calling it "a hasty, ill-considered scientific heresy".
Introduced by Keith Richman and Joseph Canciamilla, the resolution says the fact that Pluto shares its name with the dog made famous in Disney cartoons gives it "a special connection to California history and culture".
"Downgrading Pluto's status will cause psychological harm to some Californians who question their place in the universe and worry about the instability of universal constants," it adds.
On a more serious note, Alan Stern, project leader for NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto, says the project will not recognise the new IAU definition. "We will continue to refer to Pluto as the ninth planet," he says on the mission's website. "I think most of you will agree with that decision and cheer us on."

Product Description
Spring Bud Yellow Tea is a rare variety of tea from the Simao region of Yunnan in southwestern China.
Yellow tea undergoes more complicated processing than white or green teas, only the best buds and leaves are selected to make this valuable tea. An added step of covering the leaves during processing, to conserve warmth and moisture, elicits a more complex flavor than would be found in standard Green tea processing. The beautiful full buds (fresh baby leaves) that you would also see in high end green teas or Yin Zhen white tea are found in this delicate yellow tea.
Yellow tea can easily take multiple infusions, so that the second steeping may also only last for a minute, the third should last a bit longer etc.
|Brew Temperature:
|175 to 180°F, or 79 to 82°C
|Brew Time:
|2 to 3 Minutes
|Brew Quantity:
|1 tsp to 6-8oz or 5g to 177-237ml of water
For more information on brewing and tea strength ratings, please see our BREWING GUIDE or TEA STRENGTH pages

Networld Media Group began as Watermark Group, a printing supply company started by Alan Fryrear in 1995. One target for receipt-paper sales was the ATM industry. To gain better access to key manufacturers and deployers, Fryrear and partner Tom Harper started the ATM Industry Association, and soon supported it with ATMmagazine.com, an online-only business news and information portal.
The success of the website quickly convinced Fryrear and Harper to refocus their efforts from paper supplies to the world of online business journalism, and in 1999, Watermark Group was named a winner in Inc. magazine's Best of the Small Business Web contest and was featured in the November issue.
Fryrear and Harper hired a CEO, raised $1 million in start-up capital and changed the company name to NetWorld Alliance. Over the next several years, NetWorld launched sites that covered kiosks and other self-service technology, digital signage, retail, mobile payments and several segments of the restaurant industry, including fast casual, QSR and pizza. It also launched and sold a successful tradeshow, as well as an association for deployers and manufacturers of digital signage and another for professional church consultants.
Rebranded as Networld Media Group in 2012, the Louisville, Ky.-based company has more than 40 employees in five states, publishes 10 websites and hosts 5 exclusive, C-level events.

Comments about Ugly Stik Freshwater Spinning Rod, 56", M, 1 pc.:
I'm using this rod for small river fishing where you just wouldn't have room to use a longer rod. I'm happy that it comes in a 5'6" light model as the fish I'll be catching are large and a ultra light would just not do. You can't beat it for durability. They are billed as a super sensitive rod and on that point I have to disagree. I find it about as sensitive as a club. Other than that its a great little rod for what I'm using it for.

When flying in formation geese have a drag coefficient that is so low it has baffled and eluded scientists for centuries. However, as soon as one goose flaps a wing out of sync chaos erupts, and in the same way that Hollywood skilfully and accurately depicts what happens when a hole is made in the hull of a plane mid-flight, geese are sucked out of alignment and shot in all directions. Send stress shooting off into the stratosphere and get all your mental ducks in a row with a 1-hour session of Reflexology and Reiki combined for R199 at Arlene Fehler Reflexology & Reiki.
Reflexology and Reiki are Eastern forms of therapy which focus on the feet and hands respectively, and through focussing on areas which correspond to other parts of the body can alleviate pain and reduce stress and illness. The atmosphere at Arlene Fehler's practice is one of complete serenity and relaxation, and could even calm a mind housing a tornado of stress. Whether it's that looming deadline that's chewing up your sanity or the hundred and one voices constantly competing in your cranium, Arlene will find the source of your troubles and silence it permanently.
In an ideal world, the scales would always remain perfectly balanced and your toast would never fall buttered side down, unfortunately the world is not that lucky and, thanks to an old man known only as Murphy, things go wrong more often than they don't. Thankfully Arlene also specialises in realigning your mind, body and soul and working out all the kinks picked up along the way to give you complete spiritual, mental and physical harmony.
Rather than spending 60 minutes in a meeting or reading the latest stock/political/environmental reports, spend it in blissful relaxation as Arlene manipulates your phalanges and restacks your inner Jenga tower. You'll leave relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to face any challenge head on.
Wonder fact: Most people are familiar with the 7 wonders of the world, less know about the 7 wonders of the ancient world but only a select few know about the 7.83 wonders of the modern world. Of these, the most famous is undoubtedly the Angel in Skinny Jeans which was constructed on a tiny island and can only be seen from ships en route to Bali.

The past week I have been busy preparing to move back to Austin, so I've reserved very little time to think about New Year's resolutions. If anything I hope to continue doing more and thinking less. And to be honest, I almost never follow through with them. I scribble them on a sticky note and then forget them an hour later.
With this habit in mind, I thought, "What if I scribble them multiple times, lose them, then discover them over and over again?" But then I realized how frustrating this game would become. While digging for spare change, I would pull out a slip that says "Meditate." Thanks. I'm sure everyone in line wouldn't mind waiting for their coffee, I need to Om.
Anyways, that idea was quickly discarded. But I do believe in taking time out every day to clear my mind. And it seems to be quite popular this year.
I hope your new year is full of little breaks!

I come from fractalforums.com because I have started to 3D print 3D fractals, and I need some 3D modeling tools in the middle of the process. I typically use Meshlab.
I've got a 5.5M faces mesh that I'd like to decimate to 1M. It's got highly tesselated large flat areas and the "Merge coplanar faces" in Hexagon is exactly what I need. I have tested it on a smaller mesh, but the big one doesn't even load (265 MB STL file)
Is there a practical limit in number of faces in Hexagon?
If yes, does anyone know a free program that can merge coplanar faces on large meshes? (Sketchup can do the job at DAE import time, but is too slow with large meshes)
I thought Meshlab would offer the option, but the closest filter is the quadric edge decimation and it's not what I want, because it can affect edges and does not necessarily optimize planar areas.

City relies on Bobcat attachment versatility
Attachments expand Toolcat 5600's ability to work more efficiently
Attachments, like this angle broom, keep the city of Jordan's Toolcat machine busy year-round.
When the public works department for the city of Jordan, Minn., was shopping for a new mower, employees discovered the Toolcat� 5600 utility work machine. And a whole lot more � attachments.
The utility work machine became extremely versatile when the city added the following Bobcat® attachments: a 90-inch mower, 84-inch angle broom, 72-inch landplane, 72-inch snow blade, snowblower, pallet fork and spreader.
"It fit our needs better than many other products because of all the attachments," says Dave Bendzick, public works director for the city of 5,500 located just south of Minneapolis. "The attachments were a key factor in our decision to buy the Toolcat 5600." The entire utility work machine and attachments package was purchased from Lano Equipment, Shakopee, Minn.
The Toolcat 5600 enabled the public works department to reduce the use of other equipment and to handle projects more efficiently.
"For example, it used to take me 40 to 45 minutes to mow our ball field complex," says operator Kelly Yorek. "The 5600 and mower cut my time in half. The mower makes a nice wide cut and even works well in ditches along the side of roads."
"With our attachment inventory we can use the Toolcat 5600 every day." � Dave Bendzick
Four of the attachments � angle broom, snow blade, snowblower and spreader � clear sidewalks, pathways, parking lots and other areas of snow. "These snow removal attachments do a great job," Yorek says, "and it is easy to switch from one to another."
Adds Bendzick: "With our attachment inventory we can use the Toolcat 5600 every day."
The following pages contain information on more than 80 unique types of Bobcat attachments and hundreds of models.
