Is Yahoo Trolling?
Mar 14, 2012 11:24 AM PT
Yahoo on Monday launched a lawsuit against Facebook, claiming the social network infringed 10 patents relating to online social networking and advertising.
The move garnered a significant amount of criticism. Its timing comes just before Facebook is slotted to make its initial public offering, and the nature of the suit has even raised concerns that Yahoo is acting like a patent troll.
Yahoo's stock performance recently may reflect investor uncertainty regarding its decision to sue. Its value climbed slightly Tuesday, though the market in general enjoyed a heavy upswing that day.
"It very well could be a prudent move, but investors don't know yet," Brett Harriss, analyst at Gabelli told the E-Commerce Times. "It depends on the quality of their case and how valid it is."
Facebook claims it didn't know about the lawsuit before the complaint was made public and called the action "puzzling." However, weeks before the lawsuit was filed, Yahoo confirmed reports that it had demanded Facebook pay licensing fees for various website patents.
"There's usually an understanding that you would let the company you're suing know as soon as you filed the complaints," Brendan S. Lillis, patent attorney at Kloss, Stenger and LoTempio, told the E-Commerce Times. "It's strange that Yahoo would do it through the media. Facebook is probably wondering what the motivation was there."
Yahoo didn't respond to our request for comment on the recent filing. However, in confirming its earlier discussions with Facebook, Yahoo said it had a responsibility to its shareholders, employees and other stakeholders to protect its intellectual property.
Messy Patent World
The world of tech patents is becoming increasingly complex and messy. Major Internet providers, telecom companies and smartphone manufacturers are presently embroiled in a long list of patent battles. Apple, Google, Microsoft and other top players are at war with each other in countries throughout the world, primarily over patents regarding mobile technology.
In one Android patent fight over the summer, executives from Google and Microsoft went to their public blogs and other outlets with harsh statements against each other. The public remarks are largely atypical for companies facing litigation.
Non-practicing entities, sometime referred to negatively as "patent trolls," are another sore spot in the intellectual property litigation atmosphere. So-called trolls buy up numerous patents, including ones outside the realm of their companies' actual business interests. The patent portfolio can then be used as leverage in negotiations or a way to earn royalties.
"People want to be able to protect their intellectual property, but with patent trolls, it's tough," Vincent G. LoTempio, patent attorney at Kloss, Stenger and LoTempio, told the E-Commerce Times.
Though Yahoo's patents appear to relate to its business, the move to secure its intellectual property in the social networking space can come off as unnecessarily aggressive, said LoTempio, especially because of Yahoo's current financial state.
"Yahoo is a practicing entity, but they're not in the business of doing what Facebook is doing right now. So it's pretty obvious that they're attacking something that they're not even using, which has the feel of a patent troll to it and can bring some negative feedback," said LoTempio.
The See-What-Sticks Approach
Troll or no troll, if Facebook intends to defend itself in court, Yahoo will have to prove that the social network is infringing on any of the 10 patents. Ten is a relatively high number for such patent cases.
"Yahoo is certainly throwing in the whole kitchen sink," said LoTempio. "To say that they are all invalid is probably a long shot, so they're putting a lot out there and maybe one will stick."
With Facebook's IPO approaching, the pressure on the company to address the matter cleanly and quickly is increased, making a settlement more likely. The biggest pressure to settle, though, could come from the numbers Facebook sees on its lawyers' invoices.
"With these lawsuits with huge players like Yahoo and Facebook, lawyer fees go into the millions," said LoTempio. "A lot of times, strategy going in is to settle, because even if you win in court you're going to lose in fees."

In case you've missed any of the installments of the Resident Evil franchise since its feature film inception back in 2002, we've got a retrospective video to get you caught up before Resident Evil: Retribution debuts in theaters September 14th. The fifth iteration, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, follows the continuing adventures of Alice (Milla Jovovich) and resistance fighters battling against the Umbrella Corporation and the undead. Resident Evil: Retribution also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Sienna Guillory, Oded Fehr, Boris Kodjoe, Bingbing Li and Kevin Durand. Hit the jump to check out the video recap.
This Resident Evil recap of the films (which increase in crazy and, in my opinion, decrease in quality) is brought to you by Kotaku. Have a look, followed by the official synopsis for Resident Evil: Retribution.
The Umbrella Corporation's deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race's last and only hope, Alice (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella's most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe History
Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe's grand opening took place on May 3, 1988, starring "local boy" and internationally renowned entertainer, impressionist Rich Little. Since then the theatre has hosted an extensive list of truly great artists performing to sold-out houses, including Sir Peter Ustinov, Christopher Plummer, Liona Boyd, Sarah McLachlan, Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, the Barenaked Ladies, Kids in the Hall, the Rankins, Leahy, Lyle Lovett, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Harlem Gospel Choir and a great many others.
The Centrepointe Expansion
In 2010, as part of the Centrepointe Expansion a 199-seat Les Lye Studio Theatre was added. Well received by the emergent artist community, the black box style theatre is versatile and offers many configuration options to clients. With the addition of the new Les Lye Studio, Centrepointe Theatre then changed its logo to include both venues and is now called Centrepointe Theatres. The new Les Lye studio theatre is open for business, but an official ribbon cutting ceremony will be scheduled in the coming months.
Our new addition is a green building and has been designed and built following a stringent set of environmental performance criteria. As such, the new addition is a candidate for certification under the LEED rating system!
What does it mean to have LEED certification?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources. (www.usgbc.org)
In Canada, LEED certification is granted by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) and buildings can qualify for four levels of certification: Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum.
The Centrepointe Expansion project is projected to achieve a Silver level of LEED certification.
You can read more about the LEED features of the Centrepointe Expansion when visiting the new lobby. An informative display had been temporarily erected to educate those wishing to learn more about LEED.
Staff and volunteers
The multiple award-winning Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe Volunteer Company operates in partnership with professional theatre staff and links the theatre and its artists to the community. Over 200 dedicated individuals contribute their energy and creativity to make the theatres and its shows more accessible and affordable, by donating time and skills to stage, house and creative resources crews. Since 1988, CTVC volunteers have donated services worth over $1.5 million and are among Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe's most valued assets.
Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe are owned and operated by the City of Ottawa.

CHICAGO (AP) — Five things learned in the Boston Bruins' 2-1 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on Saturday night:
ALL TIED UP: Many believed Boston and Chicago were the two best teams in the NHL this season, both possessing a lethal blend of potent offense and stingy defense. (Pipe down, Pittsburgh fans. The goal-a-palooza that was Sid the Kid and Co. was a sight to behold, but you have to at least fake some defense.) So it is fitting that the Bruins and Blackhawks head to Boston tied at one game each. The first two games haven't always been pretty — ahem, Brandon Bolllig — but they have been fast, entertaining and, most important, evenly matched. Fans are definitely getting their money's worth, and few can argue that the Kings or Penguins would make for a better matchup.

Samsung, LG To Work Together On Future Display Technologies
Samsung Display and LG Display will cooperate on the development of advanced display technologies, as Korea is being challenged by rising Chinese suppliers in the already saturated market. The two companies on Wednesday signed an agreement with the South Korean government, with a total investment of 30 billion won ($29.6 million) over the next five years. The money will be allocated to local universities and institutes for research and development. The project will include the development of display patents to be used in advanced displays.
"This project is a kind of charity program to help government initiatives for balanced growth with big companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). LG and Samsung will just spend money. and patents will be owned by developers," a ministry official said.
Awarded local universities and institutes are being tasked to develop foldable, bendable and transparent displays, and some other futuristic products.
S. Korea recognizes the "threat" from China, which is catching up in the country and could result in losing its lead in display technologies.
Display panels are one of the S. Korea?s top export items with over $12.2 billion worth of liquefied crystal displays shipped overseas in the first half of the year, accounting for nearly 4.3.

View all the images from the Victor Stiebel Archive
The London College of Fashion Victor Stiebel Archive includes three sketch books: Sketch Book of 1960-1961, Sketch Book of 1962 and 1963, and Victor Stiebel Ground Floor Collections 1961-1963. They were from his couture house in 17 Cavendish Square London W1 opened in 1958 and closed when he became ill in 1963. The sketches are in watercolour, pen and pencil and show a full length front view, with smaller sketches of the back and other details. Each sketch measures 17.5 x 21.5 cms .The books are sub-divided into seasons and then suits and blouses, day dresses, (Ascot) and cocktail dresses, evening dresses and finally coats, with normally two sketches per page. The books were presented to the London College of Fashion by John Cavanagh (a contemporary of Stiebel) in 1997.
The books would serve as an overview of a collection, and would be shown to clients to encourage them to place orders. The sketches, created by a fashion artist, are carefully arranged and paired to complement and match. The model's face is of a mature woman and given appropriate accessories like umbrella, bags and gloves and evidence from photographs of the same garments in the Woolmark Archive and museum collections, show that the fabric and styling were accurately portrayed. The Ground Floor Collection was Stiebel's slightly cheaper range, where the client would be given one appointment with a couture fitter (as opposed to four for a couture garment) allowing Stiebel to compete more with the fast expanding ready-to-wear market.
South African born Stiebel (1907-1976) originally moved to England to study architecture in Cambridge in 1924 where he designed the décor and costumes for the Footlights Review. In 1929, after advice from Norman Hartnell, he went to train with the court dressmaker Reville & Rossiter and in 1932 opened his own business in 21 Bruton Street, Mayfair. In 1940 he closed his house and signed up for the Camouflage Corps in the army but in 1946 joined Jacqmar of Grosvenor Street as Director of Couture, before opening his own business again in Cavendish Square in 1958. His clients were drawn from the royal family (including Princess Margaret) and the aristocracy, but he also had an international reputation and dressed stars like Katherine Hepburn and Vivien Leigh. He was a founder member of the Incorporated Society of London Fashion Designers, serving as Chairman and Vice Chairman.
Further information about the life and work of Victor Stiebel and the role of these sketchbooks can be found in a chapter by Amy de la Haye entitled "Gilded Brocade Gowns and Impeccable Tailored Tweeds: Victor Stiebel (1907-76) a Quintessentially English Designer" in The Englishness of English dress edited by Christopher Breward, Becky Conekin and Caroline Cox, Oxford : Berg, 2002. The Presscutting Albums which match these Sketch Books, and provided additional information for the metadata are to be found in the Art and Design Archive in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Explore America's true historic treasures on a cruise of the Mississippi River and its tributaries. This 2,320-mile waterway flows through 10 states, from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Its name comes from the Ojibwe word Misi-ziibi, meaning "Great River."
The Mississippi led explorers to new lands, and it served as an important lifeline for the transport of people and goods to the towns that rapidly grew along its banks. Centers of commerce and culture flourished along its main route and tributaries. Cities like St. Louis, Memphis, Vicksburg and New Orleans owe their existence to the Mississippi.
Step back to a time when life moved a little slower and riverboats slowly churned the waters. See Civil War battlefields, restored plantations, rolling farmland and picturesque riverfront towns filled with Victorian-era architecture. The region has a rich musical legacy as the birthplace of the blues, jazz and country music. It's been celebrated in literature, too, most notably by Mark Twain, who grew up in the port town of Hannibal, MO.
Sailings might spend time on the mighty Mississippi in addition to other waterways, like the Tennessee, Ohio, Illinois and Cumberland Rivers. Cruises are particularly good values, because your stateroom and onboard meals are included in a single rate that you pay upfront.
River cruises are rated according to the quality of the vessel and its accommodations, the number of included amenities and activities both on and off the ship, the class of hotels used for land portions of itineraries, and the level of service delivered. The river cruises below are categorized according to the industry rating scale (budget, first class and deluxe). Click any cruise name for the itinerary, dates and prices.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A potentially big gap is opening in President Barack Obama's health care law.
WASHINGTON (AP) � A potentially big gap is opening in President Barack Obama's health care law.
Nearly 2 in 3 uninsured low-income people who would qualify for subsidized coverage may be out of luck next year because their states have not expanded Medicaid.
An Associated Press analysis of figures from the Urban Institute finds that 9.7 million out of 15 million potentially eligible low-income adults live in states refusing the expansion, or still undecided.
Many of the neediest people who could be helped by the law may instead remain uninsured � a predicament for Obama and his sweeping extension of the safety net.
It's a consequence of last summer's Supreme Court decision allowing states to refuse the Medicaid expansion, combined with unyielding Republican opposition in many states.

The Movies.com Review: 'The World's End' Makes You Want to Drink Along
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost return to do more or less the same thing they did in Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz -- run around, make jokes and battle supernatural forces. Imagine the guys dropped down into the plot of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and joined for this third installment of what's come to be known as "The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" (British brand of ice cream that makes an appearance in each film) by Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan. Naturally there'll be a lot of people comparing the "flavour" to Shaun and Fuzz, also to this year's Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg-directed This Is the End. And that's valid. The latter, like this film, is a comedy about estranged friends encountering apocalyptic madness over the course of "one crazy night."
But because I have the privilege of living 15 minutes away from Los Angeles' cool old repertory cinema, the Quentin Tarantino-owned-and-restored New Beverly, I recently attended a screening of the 1955 Stanley Donen/Gene Kelly-directed musical It's Always Fair Weather, a film handpicked by The World's End's director Edgar Wright and one that has even more to do with The World's End than any of titles I just mentioned. It's Always Fair Weather is a strange musical comedy where nearly all the songs are upstaged by their visual presentation and serve mostly as narrative bolstering to the dark subject of broken friendships, disappointment and self-hate. It might be from the same people who brought you Singin' in the Rain but it's a much surlier animal.
And though The World's End isn't a musical, its early '90s British dance-rock soundtrack is an almost nonstop backdrop to very similar themes: disliking the people you once loved, disliking yourself, regretting life choices and wrecking everything you valued in the pursuit of status or, on the other end of the spectrum, partying. Primal Scream's "Loaded" kicks things off, crashes into Happy Mondays and the Soup Dragons, Blur, Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets and on and on and on. Taken together, the songs act as a hands-in-the-air Ecstasy binge that's a constant sonic counterpoint to the two-decades-long bummer of a comedown every character on-screen is going through. As the five friends-now-strangers proceed from forced reunion to forced partying -- 12 pints in 12 pubs in the hometown they all left behind -- to forced fighting for their lives as the world truly threatens to end, they confront their grown-up selves with Pegg, Frost and Wright's almost patented brand of silliness and uncomfortably earnest desire for brotherly love. If Shaun of the Dead was the joy of Singin' in the Rain, this is the disgruntled Fair Weather, with all the relationship anxiety its title implies.
Of course they still have to fight evil forces from another dimension as well, so it's not all bleak comic angst. It's an action movie, a race against time, a love story, a slapstick car chase with robots (or whatever they are) and a chance for audience members who love bands like Saint Etienne to feel good about themselves when the movie makes a Saint Etienne in-joke. Specific kinds of nerds need specific kinds of nerd movies; we're lucky we've got Pegg, Frost and Wright as friends we can count on to make them for us.

On Nov. 19, 1920, the morning after the courthouse fire, county commissioners and public officials surveyed the smoldering ruins, insured for only $52,000.
EDITOR�S NOTE: This is the last of two articles on the Bay County Courthouse. It is another story for Bay County�s Centennial year.
On Nov. 19, 1920, the morning after the courthouse fire, county commissioners and public officials surveyed the smoldering ruins, insured for only $52,000. Most did not believe the structure could be rebuilt because of the cracking of outer walls.
But in the early 1920s, Sartain, Dobson & Reese of Montgomery, Ala., signed a contract �to put the courthouse back in good condition,� install a replacement clock and make the structure �absolutely fire-proof for $87,500.�
By March 24, foundation walls were up for the first floor with a large gang of bricklayers at work. Almost a year later in February 1922, the commissioners accepted the courthouse, and county officials began moving from their temporary offices into the structure. But W.H. Marshall found several items lacking such as the 10-foot-sidewalk around the building and up to each entrance, the heating system, lightning rods and the replacement of broken window sills.
In 1921, Sheriff Olie E. Hobbs moved his prisoners into the new jail across the street from the courthouse. Renovation began on the jail section of the courthouse. After the iron work and cells were removed, the space was converted into offices for use in connection with the courts and the circuit clerk�s department. Two Criminals
Lester Lammons and Sam Holland were the two murderers who hatched a plan for escape during their trial in November 1920. They were accused of shooting and stabbing Rose Kirkland and bludgeoning her friend Bessie King. Kirkland was the daughter of Alice Canty, a roadhouse owner north of Millville.
Lammons and Holland became acquainted when they were employed in a Panama City garage. Lammons had a rap sheet that included one killing and four car thefts whereas Holland did not have a record, but he had been involved in a shady car deal.
The garage owner fired both of them and they needed a way to get back to their homes in Alabama. They recalled Canty�s sleek new Stephens Saliant Six vehicle from their days at the garage. They caught a ride to the roadhouse and told Canty they needed help rescuing women and children whose car was stuck in the mud near Mill Bayou.
At the roadhouse, Canty agreed as long as her daughter, Rose Kirkland, was the driver and her friend, Bessie King, agreed to accompany her. They left with the women in the front seat and the men in the rear.
When they did not find the car Kirkland became suspicious and told the men that she was heading back to Panama City. When Lammons threatened to kill her, she slammed on the brakes and fled screaming down the road. He tore out after her and fired a shot at the back of her head with his .32 caliber. She fell to the ground where he finished her off by stabbing her several times through the chest and heart.
At the same time, King bolted down the road in the opposite direction. Lammons tackled her next, slashing and stabbing her. But he spared her life. The two men dumped Kirkland in Cowart�s Creek en route to Alabama.
But Holland summoned a doctor for King, then turned himself in to the chief of police. Lammons was arrested a short time later.
The two were lodged in the Bay County jail and denied bail. They attempted to escape by removing a brace improperly bolted on their cell. Their freedom lasted only a few hours. Their case came up in circuit court on Nov. 18 when they planned on another jail break by getting friends to torch the courthouse. But it didn�t work, and they were convicted of their crimes.
Courthouse Notes
Over the years, the courthouse served many purposes. Some typical cases:
In a master�s sale on Aug. 6, 1916, created by complainant Oliver H. Wilson and defendants W.K. and Mary Hall, the property at Lot 3, Block 2 of Bunkers Cove, formerly in Harrison and Park Resort, was to be sold at the courthouse door to the highest and best cash bidder.
From July 21-26, 1917, James M. Cuthgart, a federal income tax offer, opened his office in the courthouse for those required to file but needed assistance.
A New Bridge
The War Department held a public hearing on the application of the State Road Department for approval of plans for a steel-truss bridge that approached across St. Andrew Bay about 4-1/2 miles west of Panama City. The date was March 15, 1926 at 8 p.m.
During the month of February 1930, couples obtained marriage licenses. Cupid took unerring aim at Miss Gypsy Cawthon of Quincy and Randall Newberry of Panama City. Another arrow hit Miss Edna Chestnut of Millville and James Evans of Panama City.
In March 1934, the courthouse played host to an all-day �Singing Convention.� drawing the best singers from Florida, Alabama and Georgia.
Anyone having claims against the estate of James F. Smith was to file in the county judge�s office. Jennie S. Smith, Nov. 15, 1934.
Frances Dunscombe applied to Honorable Ira A. Hutchison of the 14th Judicial District in the courthouse for a license to manage, take charge of and control her property and to become a free dealer in every respect. Jan. 12, 1940.
Landmark Case
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Landmark Gideon vs. Wainwright case, which was heard in the Bay County Courthouse. Clarence Earl Gideon, 62, was denied his request for a lawyer in his first trial. On March 18, 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that every person charged with a crime has a right to counsel. Attorney Fred Turner defended Gideon in his second trial.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (June 17, 2009) – The U.S. Men's A2 National Team out-hit and out-served Canada on Wednesday to take a 3-2 (25-22, 22-25, 25-21, 24-26, 15-13) victory at the Pan American Cup in Chiapas, Mexico.
With the victory, the U.S. Men win Group A with a 2-0 record and will get a day of rest on Thursday while the quarterfinals are played. Puerto Rico won the other group with a 3-0 record and has also advanced to the semifinals.
Robert Tarr (Cape Canaveral, Fla.) led all scorers on Wednesday with 22 points on 21 kills and one block. Dean Bittner (Lakewood, Calif.) added 17 points on 11 kills, three blocks and three aces. Nils Nielsen (Fallbrook, Calif.) was just behind with 16 points on 14 kills, one block and one ace.
Max Holt (Cincinnati, Ohio) tallied 13 points on 11 kills, one block and one ace and Nate Meerstein (La Porte City, Iowa) scored 12 points on nine kills, two blocks and one ace.
"It was a good game, well fought," U.S. Head Coach Rick McLaughlin said in a NORCECA press release. "I feel happy with this victory, which sends us to the semifinals and give us the chance to continue watching our potential opponents."
Gavin Smith and Toontje Van Lankvelt recorded 18 and 17 points for Canada. Adam Simac added 14 and Steve Gotch had 12.
McLaughlin started Tarr and Nielsen at outside hitter, Holt and Meerstein at middle blocker, Bittner at opposite, Brian Thornton (San Clemente, Calif.) at setter and Dustin Watten (Long Beach, Calif.) at libero.
Eric Vance (Camarillo) substituted and scored one point on an ace. Thornton finished with four points on one kill, two blocks and one ace. Watten had 30 receptions and was credited with 77 percent positive receptions and 63 percent excellent.
As a team, the United States had eight aces while Canada had two. The U.S. Men also had 67 kills as compared to 56 by Canada. The U.S. Men were credited with 68 percent positive receptions and 59 percent excellent. Canada had 55 percent positive receptions and 48 percent excellent.
The first set was tight with Canada holding an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) before the U.S. Men came back to tie the score at 8-8. With the score tied 15-15, Team USA reached the second TTO first on Canada's error. The U.S. Men took a two-point lead on a Meerstein block, and then went up by three on another Canada error to make it 18-15.
However, Canada came back to tie the score again at 20-20 and then again at 21-21. Nielsen responded with two straight kills to give Team USA a 23-21 lead. Canada's kill made it 23-22, but a kill and an ace from Holt gave the U.S. Men the set win.
The United States took a 2-0 lead to open the second set and took an 8-6 lead into the first TTO. The United States maintained the lead and extended it to 16-13 at the second TTO. However Canada did not back down and with Team USA leading 19-16, Canada scored three straight points on two kills and a block to tie the score. A serving error stopped the rally, but a U.S. serving error tied the score and Canada took its first lead of the set on a block. Canada led 22-20 on a second block.
The United States tied the score on kills by Holt and Meerstein, but Canada scored the final three points on a kill, a U.S. error and a block.
The U.S. Men led 8-7 at the first TTO of the third set, but came out of the break and scored three straight points, including an ace by Thornton, to lead 11-7. Later, with the U.S. Men leading 14-11, they scored three more straight points on two kills by Nielsen and an ace by Bittner to lead 17-11. Canada never recovered.
Looking to put the match away, Team USA jumped out to a 9-3 lead in the fourth set, including four points from Bittner on two kills, a block and an ace; and an attack and a block by Nielsen.
The United States extended the lead to seven points at 14-7, but Canada scored three straight points on two kills and a block to keep within striking distance. With the United States leading 17-13, Canada scored three straight points on two U.S. errors and a Canada kill to make it 17-16. A Holt kill made it 18-16, but Canada scored two more points to tie the score for the first time in the set.
The two teams battled back and forth until the score was tied at 22-22. Canada reached set point on two U.S. errors. The U.S. Men came back with two points on Canada's errors. But Canada took the set victory on a kill and an ace.
The tie-breaker was a nail-biter as neither team gained more than a one-point edge until the score was tied at 12-12. Tarr's kill gave the U.S. Men a 13-12 lead. Canada took a timeout, but the U.S. Men extended the lead to 14-12 on a Canadian hitting error. Canada took another timeout, and Van Lankvelt's kill pulled Canada back to within one point. But Tarr ended the matter with a kill.

Professional development (PD) opportunities are nearly universal in the experiences of U.S. educators, both in public school settings and in Christian schools. The question of which PD strategies are most effective has become more critical in recent years, as schools face increasing internal and external pressures to improve student outcomes and optimize instructional expenditures. As a result, many school leaders are seeking to identify PD opportunities with high return on investment (ROI) in terms of student learning and achievement.
In an effort to address this issue systematically, a comprehensive literature synthesis was commissioned by ACSI (Swaner 2016). The synthesis, which surveyed over 500 scholarly articles and resources over the past 20 years, asked the question, "What are best practices in PD for Christian school teachers and leaders?" While little research was found specific to Christian education, what was available corroborated much of the broader literature on PD in K–12 schools. A set of characteristics of effective PD were identified in the literature, as well as a range of practices for which there exists research on their effectiveness. The synthesis also reviewed the evidence for the importance of cultures of continuous improvement to the effectiveness of any PD efforts.

Software offers streamlined die design, enhanced flexibility & major time savings
Givat Shmuel, Israel – October 24, 2013 – Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT) will be showcasing the new die design features in CimatronE 11, the latest version of its acclaimed integrated CAD/CAM software solution, at Blechexpo in Stuttgart, Germany, November 5-8, 2013.
"German tool shops are renowned for producing dies of exceptionally high quality, and Cimatron is pleased to assist these shops in meeting their exacting needs," said Mr. Dirk Dombert, Cimatron Group's General Manager for Germany.
"The new CimatronE 11, in particular, offers unprecedented benefits to tool shops by minimizing die design time and costs, while maximizing die quality. The built-in die design solution is both flexible and intuitive, providing shops with all the tools that they require to successfully design and program all types of dies and all types of jobs, no matter how complex."
The major new features for die design in CimatronE 11 include:
- Flexible layout design for progressive and transfer dies: A new, combined environment for the layout design for both progressive and transfer dies provides users with a more simplified and streamlined design process, enhanced flexibility, and a reduced learning curve for new users.
- New die tool environment: A separate die tool design environment maximizes the ability for several designers to work on different parts and stages of a project concurrently, thereby helping to reduce overall design time.
- Material utilization and nesting: A new material utilization and nesting tool for transfer dies helps ensure the optimal use of the raw material, providing shops with valuable cost savings.
- Springback analysis & deform: A new spring back analysis tool minimizes the need for the costly and time-consuming iterative process of design, tool manufacture, and trial on the shop-floor.
"These features represent the cutting-edge of die design technology and I encourage tool shops to visit our booth at Blechexpo or to contact their local Cimatron office for a live demonstration," said Mr. Dombert.
The Cimatron display at Blechexpo will be in Hall 4, booth #4105.

Outside hitter Taylor Sander (Huntington Beach, Calif.) led all scorers with a match-high 19 kills (59.4 kill percent, .500 hitting efficiency), one block and a team-high three aces. Outside hitter Tony Ciarelli (Huntington Beach, Calif.) added 16 points on 13 kills (52.0 kill percent, .400 hitting efficiency), two blocks and one ace.
Opposite Carson Clark (Santa Barbara, Calif.) finished with 12 points on 10 attacks and two aces.

Davis substituted for McDonnell in the second set and started the third and fourth sets. Clark substituted in the second set for Troy and started the third and fourth sets. Outside hitter Jordan Dufault (Lakewood, Calif.) played as a substitute.
The first set came down to the final points as Brazil led 23-21. The U.S. pulled to within one at 23-22, but Brazil scored the final two points for the victory. The U.S. was hurt by seven team errors in the first set while Brazil committed only four. Sander led the U.S. with eight points on six kills, one block and one ace.
The U.S. and Brazil kept things close in the second set as well. The United States led 8-7 at the first technical timeout (TTO) and 16-15 at the second. Brazil seemed to have the upper hand as it pulled out to a 23-21 lead, but the U.S. scored the final four points of the set to pull out the victory.
The U.S. led 3-1 in the third set and 8-5 at the first TTO, getting points off two kills from Ciarelli, two from Sander, two from Davis and one from Clark along with an ace by Shoji. The U.S. Men extended the lead to 16-11 at the second TTO. With the U.S. leading 21-15, Brazil scored three straight points to pull to within three before Ciarelli ended the run with a kill. The U.S. reached set point at 24-20 on an attack by Clark. Brazil scored once more before the U.S. won it on a Brazilian error.
Brazil took a 4-1 lead in the fourth set and led 8-5 at the first TTO. The U.S. got points on two kills from Clark and one each by Ciarelli, Sander and Davis. The U.S. cut the lead to one at 11-10 before Brazil went on a three-point run to lead 14-10. The U.S. tied the score at 15-15. The teams battled back and forth until the score was tied 18-18 and the U.S. scored two straight points on a Brazil error and Clark kill. Brazil never caught up. The U.S. was leading 23-22 when it scored the final two points on a Ciarelli attack and Clark ace.

Beijing's 'Water Army' Swamps Social Media
Jul 25, 2013 5:00 PM PT
Long known for its out-and-out censorship, Beijing now appears to be filling Chinese social media with pro-government messages.
The new tack was on full display after the Thursday indictment of fallen Communist Party member Bo Xilai, who was busted for corruption and abuse of power in 2012.
While China's social media censors were surely working overtime in the wake of the indictment, so too were its copywriters. On Sina Weibo, the country's top social media platform (it's roughly akin to Twitter), the main news feed echoed sentiments that were eerily similar to those espoused by China's state-run media -- championing the indictment as a testament to Beijing's crackdown on corruption.
Users -- anonymous ones, mind you, with very few followers -- wrote stuff like, "This case utterly proves the ... determination to fight corruption" and "I believe in the party and I believe in the government."
In China, this is referred to as a "Water Army" -- anonymous posters who use zombie accounts to peddle ... well, anything. Usually water armies -- which make up a startling percentage of Chinese social media accounts -- operate in a commercial capacity. The Bo case, however, shows that the same method is being employed to (try to) control the conversation about current events as well, according to some China watchers.
That said, not everything is changed. Weibo comments about Bo that were deemed inappropriate have been disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Another iPhone Shock - This Time Outside China
A woman from Sydney, Australia, was taken to the hospital after what she claims was an electric shock from her iPhone.
A handful of similar stories have come out of China -- including one that resulted in a 23-year-old woman's death -- but this appears to be one of the first news-making iPhone electrocution mishaps from outside the Middle Kingdom.
The woman was not seriously injured, but the incident will nonetheless add a sense of urgency to Apple's investigation into similar reports.

Report: Chinese Apps Targeted by Android Vulnerability
Security firm Symantec is reporting that it identified the first known malicious use of Android's "master key" vulnerability, and that it is compromising apps available in China.
The vulnerability, which was first reported earlier this month, allows people to install code onto Android devices and then commandeer control of said devices. Symantec reports that Chinese apps designed to find and make doctor appointments have been affixed with this sinister code.
Information such as phone numbers is available, while people can also send premium SMS messages and disable security software.
Google, whose Android devices are way out ahead of iOS in China, released a patch designed to remedy the vulnerability.
Germany Presses EU for Backup on Online Privacy
Officials in Germany are seeking support from the European Union on a global charter designed to protect online privacy.
Germany, which has both expressed outrage over U.S. snooping and been called out as a serial NSA accomplice, wants to safeguard against future intrusions into Germans' privacy. The push was no doubt inspired by revelations that personal information of millions of German Web users may have been collected by the U.S.
Germany's request came in the form of a letter sent to ministers of the European Union. The letter implores an expansion of a 1966 UN treaty that, having been written in 1966, is woefully lacking on anything relating to email, SMS, etc.
The letter was sent last week but not disclosed until Wednesday.

WATCH: "Oppressed" NFL PLayers Snap, Turn Their Rage On Fans As Protests Escalate
NFL players seem determined to ostracize and/or insult their fans. The protests and kneeling were enough to force many from tuning in to games. Lifelong fans were burning tickets and gear, bars began refusing to air games, and NFL ratings plummeted even further. Then several players went one step beyond and failed to stand Monday night, just after the tragic Las Vegas shooting.
Now two videos are circulating on social media showing these poor "oppressed" millionaires snapping and turning their rage on fans. Do they not realize that their salaries depend on these same fans?
Last Monday night during a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Washington Redskins, a player from each team erupted in profanity towards some hecklers.
Chief Defensive back Marcus Peters received some likely harsh criticism after letting a Redskins' player score a 44-yard touchdown. The angry player is heard yelling "F**k you bi**h," and then seen slamming his helmet to the ground.
RT if you agree @Chiefs player Marcus Peters should be suspended for cussing out fans! @nflcommish #BoycottNFL pic.twitter.com/AXWzv55yoE
— ??CHIZ ?? (@CHIZMAGA) October 3, 2017
As a side note, Peters was one of three offensive ignorants who sat on the bench this Monday after the mass shooting.
A separate video shows Redskins wide receiver Terrell Pryor getting irate at people heckling him as he walked towards the tunnel that leads to the locker rooms. Pryor flips off the crowd, raises his helmet as if to throw it, and yells "F**k." A staff member quickly rushes to try and calm the angry Pryor and get him into the tunnel.
These types of outbursts are against the rules of how NFL players are supposed to conduct themselves. Of course, decorum hasn't exactly stopped these players before. We will stay tuned to see how the NFL responds to this most recent development.

FREETOWN (Reuters) - Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma denied on Monday accusations he is soft on corruption in a last-minute defence before November 17 elections in which he is seeking a second term.
Koroma will face top opposition rival and former junta leader Julius Maada Bio in polls widely seen as a test of the resource-rich West African state's recovery a decade after a civil war.
Koroma, a former insurance broker in power since 2007, is favoured to win but has drawn fire from rivals claiming he has done little to root out graft. An Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has failed to send a single person to jail under his rule.
"You are trying to give the impression that I, as president, should be doing the work of the judiciary and that is where you go wrong," Koroma told reporters in the capital Freetown.
"You don't expect me to interpret the law, you don't expect me to sit in the courts and pass judgments."
He said the ACC, formed by the government in 2000, was no longer a "toothless bulldog" after his administration revised laws to give it power to prosecute, and not just investigate.
Koroma's rivals, including Bio, have also attacked him for nominating his vice president Samuel Sam Sumana as his running mate despite an Al Jazeera documentary alleging Sam Sumana's office took bribes for timber deals.
Sam Sumana has denied wrongdoing, and an ACC investigation reported that it found no evidence he was aware of any payment of bribes to people claiming to represent him.
On Sunday night, Bio addressed a rally in the southern town of Moyamba, saying the incumbent had failed his people.
"The father failed, and state house is not a classroom where if you failed you repeat," Bio said in the Krio language, referring to Koroma.
Bio's party manifesto promises a renegotiation of all mineral deals as well as Sierra Leone's mining code, which he says have failed to benefit ordinary citizens.
Sierra Leone remains one of the world's poorest and least developed countries after a devastating 1991-2002 civil war, and relies heavily on its burgeoning resource sector to fund its recovery and ease rampant poverty.
It produces iron ore, gold, as well as the diamonds that once helped fund its conflict. Iron ore producers African Minerals and London Mining, gold miner Amara Mining Plc, and diamond miner Octea operate there.
Koroma's government had come under fire for setting a low tax rate of 6 percent for London Mining — far below the 37.5 percent level stipulated in Sierra Leone's mining laws — though the contract has since been revised.
In an interview with Reuters on Sunday Bio said "there is a lot to be done in the mining sector."
"What we have done in the past, we have not really bargained in the interests of the country," he said.
On Monday, Koroma mocked Bio's plan to renegotiate deals, stating that his government had already retooled several agreements to the state's advantage.
"The issue of the opposition talking about reviews, I don't know where they're coming from," he said.
However Koroma, whose own All Peoples' Congress party manifesto includes a section on "optimising" mineral rents, acknowledged too that in the past Sierra Leone has struggled to profit from its lavish natural resources.

And not the chocolate kind! So today the gift of the day is NIP GUARDS! These are mostly for my guy running buddies, but still, girls can get a good laugh in at some of these descriptions. I can for sure see that happening as I was writing this whole post I was laughing.
But hey, Guys love them, check out the reviews below and how much they profess their love for them.
"Nipple sensitivity almost ruined my runs, until someone told me about nipguards. These are great. Easy to use, comfortable, and best of all, no more sore nipples after a good run."
"No more gauze and 12″ pieces of medical tape across my nipples! Tried out my Nip Guards for my first mini-marathon and couldn't be more pleased. 13.1 miles of pain-free nipples. And almost invisible under my shirt. Kudos to the inventor(s)!"
"For men who have had pain/bleeding from nipple chafing from longer runs (>6+ miles)when wearing even the best of running sportswear. (I have not used compression shirts) I don't leave home or go to a race without them now. Cost about the same as toe corn pads but are sized to fit and will stay on much better. Yes, they will last through a marathon. They prevent an injury which requires about a week to heal from."
Guys have such passion about the strangest things, now don't they! To the man wearing 12″ tape across your chest… Wow!
TriSports.com has the best deal for a 10-pack of Nip Guards coming in at $8.95.
So guys like Steve, Greg, Borsch, and Stuart, this is a special gift just for you. Protect the Nips! ;)
And, now, girls you are free to laugh.
I got new shoes last night but I'm still very up in the air about them. They seem great but INCREDIBLY overpriced and I can't decide in between a 6 and a 6.5 size. I am going to have to test them out around the house tonight so I know if I for sure love them. Anyways, hope everyone is gearing up for Christmas!

Marcia Cross wants her men back.
With "Desperate Housewives" now set to conclude at the end of its eighth season, Cross says she'd like her appearances-above-all-else character Bree Van de Camp Hodge to get one more night with the many men she's wedded and bedded before the show ends.
"I do want to see all my fellas again. I have had the best male costars and I want them all back, dead or alive. Even if it's just a fantasy dream sequence, I really want to see them. There's just so many of them: from Steven Culp to Kyle Maclachlan to Brian Austin Green to Roger Bart – I've had a lot of fellas!" she tells Popcorn Biz.
U.S. & World
As for how the show will end otherwise? Cross says creator Marc Cherry has long had something great planned.
"Marc has always said from day one that he knew how he wanted to end the show," says Cross, "and Marc always tells everything eventually, but he's NEVER told anybody that. So I'm hoping that it's wonderful, which it probably is. He's had eight years to think about it, so I'm excited to see how he has envisioned this."
Cross and co-star Felicity Huffman said word of the show's impending finale was only given to them two days before Cherry's announcement to the Television Critics Association, and they haven't been able to compare many notes with their longtime co-stars Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria.
"Eva's in Spain," says Huffman, who spent eight seasons playing harried Lynette Scavo. "We've emailed back and forth, and I know when we were talking about it before she left, she said, 'Oh my God – If it's the last year I'm going to cry!' So I'm sure she's going to cry when she comes back to set. She wears her heart on her sleeve."
Both actresses said they were pleased to end on a high note.
"I think it's so ideal, not having to wait to see what the ratings are in year eight, maybe being on the bubble," says Huffman. "I think ABC made a sacrifice of a year nine in order to treat the show respectfully. So I think artistically the writers get to work backwards from the end and choose the best way to end it, as opposed to going, 'Oh my God. They're not going to renew us', in Episode 18 and you're scrambling to make all the ends meet."
Huffman admits that the conclusion of the show comes with mixed emotions. "I'm, like, 60-70% bittersweet," she says. "You're never sure there are going to be future roles. If I was sure of that, I'd go, 'Yay!' But if all I'm sure of is that I'm going to be opening gas stations in Des Moines, Iowa, I'm like, 'Ooo, doesn't sound so good'. So it's bittersweet now. The sweet is that I'm really grateful."
"It will be like an old friend that I will miss, definitely," says Cross." Although as an actor you look forward to doing other things, I'm sure I'll be heaving-sobbing at the end. Because we've had marriages, babies, deaths – the whole thing. We've been through everything with these people, so it will be very, very difficult to say goodbye, without a doubt."
And at the very least, the central stars will likely have decades of "Desperate Housewives" tributes, honors and appreciations as excuses to reunite socially.
"I never thought about that," chuckles Huffman. "We'll be tottering onstage in our walkers. Oh, Lord." "I just hope I'm Betty White then," laughs Cross.

It was on his official schedule last night, but today it's apparently been deleted from his website. Gov. Rick Scott will reportedly be chatting it up with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker today on the phone from 5:15 – 5:45 p.m. (Gosh, I wonder if either of them will try to verify that they're actually talking to the "real" Gov. first? That might be a wise idea.) Gosh, I wonder what they'll talk about? Will one of the "real" Koch brothers be on the line with them? After all, the Koch's do have ties to Gov. Scott and his high-speed rail sabotage plan, who knows what else they might be up to?
Yesterday Gov. Scott said this about unions and collective bargaining:
"My belief is as long as people know what they're doing, collective bargaining is fine," Scott said in an interview with Tallahassee's WFLA FM radio station.
Sure, whatever. Of course if you know anything about Gov. Scott, you can take your chances that he means it, but I for one don't buy it. Especially when the Florida Legislature is already working on the unions.
Sen. John Thrasher, former state GOP chairman, looks like he has filed a bill (SB830) to starve unions like the Florida Education Association, SEIU, AFL-CIO, firefighters, police unions or AFSCME by banning the Democratic-leaning organizations from using salary deductions for political purposes. The legislation also says any "public employer may not deduct or collect" union dues, etc. Lastly, it says that any public employee who didn't specifically authorize the use of his money could be entitled to a partial refund.
The bill doesn't seem to go as far as Wisconsin's by ending collective bargaining rights in Florida, though in a right-to-work state there's only so much union bargaining that can take place. Still, the language about union dues sure looks like it's right out of the playbook of the tea party and Wisconsin's Gov. Scott Walker (who incidentally is not a high-speed rail fan, either).
Gov. Walker said this about high-speed rail funds in his state last Nov.:
Governor-Elect Scott Walker today released the following statement on high-speed rail:
"Since learning about the state's agreement with the federal government we have been exploring all legal options to stop the train from moving forward, and we believe this is a step in the right direction. We are continuing to work with members of congress on redirecting this money to fixing our crumbling roads and bridges."
Why, that sounds distinctly familiar. That's kind of what Gov. Scott was expecting to do. But he can't, because the money must be used toward the high-speed rail project, or it goes elsewhere, and there's a lot of other states with their hands out just waiting. Scott has until Friday to make a decision.
Meanwhile, back in Tallahassee, now "nationally famous so-called fiscal hero" (we know he is because the media tells us so!) Marco Rubio, the former Tea Party darling, turned U.S. Senator who now shuns Tea Bagger voters who put him in office (but not the Tea Party corporate funders of course), came back to Florida yesterday to talk money with the Florida House. He reportedly spoke with no notes, and no teleprompter, but he really didn't need to since that speech is burned into his memory. He gives the same one all the time. All he needs is someone to pull his string and he's off!
"The math is straightforward. The federal government this year, in order to operate, will have to borrow one-and-a-half trillion dollars. – trillion dollars," Rubio said. "Medicare and Social Security as they currently are structured, is unsustainable," he said to applause. "They will bankrupt themselves and ultimately bankrupt our country."
But despite his calls for bipartisan solutions, Rubio gave no specifics and offered standard party-line fare to reduce spending and not raise taxes.
"Apart from all the ideological rhetoric," he said, "an increase in taxes will destroy the ability of our economy to grow, which will mean less revenue to government. It's a vicious cycle. They're starting to doubt about our ability to pay our debt back"
Of course, he gives no specific ideas, but then he never does.
"What I fear most of all is that we have a political process in Washington that is frozen," he said. "The White House knows this. The congressional leadership knows this. But no one wants to go first because they don't want to get beaten up about it….
"If we don't figure this out, none of these politics and elections are going to matter anyway because this country will decline so rapidly that you won't even recognize it by 20 or 30 years. It's not going to be a third world country. But it's not going to be exceptional or unique. Our decline is not inevitable."
Prior to his speech, Rubio met privately with Gov. Rick Scott, Attorney General Pam Bondi and state Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, all of whom are Republicans. Rubio said he discussed Panamanian and Colombian free-trade issues with Scott and discussed Bondi's efforts to fight so-called "fake cocaine" sold under the guise as bath salts.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi told a state House committee this month that most of the rest is being covered by the National Federation of Independent Business, a group that opposes the law because of what it considers unconstitutional costs and regulations on firms and people.
"They have dedicated a tremendous amount of resources to the lawsuit," Bondi said Feb. 10. "We're thrilled, because that's saving our state money. That's saving the 25 other states money as well."
