Am I going to bleed? Should I go about my day as normal afterwards? Im just very anxious about this and going to labor in general. Help me relax!!
(obv im a ftm :) )
I had it done with both of mine, and I'd like to try again with #3 if I'm dilated enough. It will be about 20-30 seconds of torture, so practice your labor breathing! I just kept forcing myself to laugh and say, "Ah-hah! I love my doctor! I love my doctor!"
I felt a little "wonky" in the head right afterward, so get dressed slowly. If you haven't had real contractions yet, you may not be expecting the intense pain. But no, the rest of my day was normal; I was fully able to walk and drive myself home, etc. I didn't bleed with either.
With my first, I went into labor the next day. With my second, my water broke later that evening before any contractions even started.
ANYTHING you can do to avoid induction and Pitocin is a blessing!!

This patent application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/414,826 filed Apr. 15, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,014,108 which is related to and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/372,844, entitled "METHOD FOR ACCESSING AND PROCESSING MULTIPLE TRANSACTIONS FROM A TERMINAL," filed on Apr. 16, 2002, which are both incorporated herein in their entireties by reference.
This patent application also incorporates in its entirety by reference PCT Application PCT/US03/04600, entitled "METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EXCHANGING AND/OR TRANSFERRING VARIOUS FORMS OF VALUE," filed on Feb. 14, 2003.
Electronic commerce is typically conducted through the use of personal computers. Forms of electronic commerce ("e-commerce") include buying and selling products, paying bills, viewing account summaries and transactions, and online investing. E-commerce may also be conducted using other devices. Examples of such other devices include personal digital assistants, web-enabled cellular telephones, and interactive television receivers.
Participation in e-commerce often requires payment by credit card. Some people do not have a credit card because of poor credit, lack of credit history, personal choice, or other reasons. In fact, there are many individuals who do not even have a bank account. Such individuals may be unable to participate in e-commerce, despite their desire to do so. As another example, participating in e-commerce often requires an investment in a personal computer, a personal digital assistant with Internet access, a web-enabled cellular telephone, an interactive television receiver (where available), or other device with Internet connectivity. For some people, such investments are financially out of reach.
As e-commerce transactions become more widespread, people unable to participate in e-commerce may be disadvantaged. While some people have access to Internet terminals at work, in public libraries, in Internet cafes, or elsewhere, these terminals may not be available for participating in e-commerce because of policies restricting such use. Some people may also be uncomfortable conducting some transactions, though legal, at work or in a library because of concerns that their employer or others may be tracking their use and transactions. As an example, employers may track which web sites employees visit, or may block access to some web sites altogether. There may also be security concerns when using credit card numbers at a library terminal.
In the drawings, identical reference numbers identify identical or substantially similar elements or acts. To easily identify the discussion of any particular element or act, the most significant digit or digits in a reference number refer to the Figure number in which that element is first introduced and discussed (e.g., element 102 is first introduced and discussed with respect to
Note: The headings provided herein are for convenience and do not necessarily affect the scope or interpretation of the invention.
An embodiment of the invention described below enables one to participate in e-commerce without using a personal computer or one of the other devices discussed above, and instead enables participation through use of an e-commerce kiosk. In particular, the embodiment described may be used by a customer to purchase minutes on prepaid long-distance telephone calling cards. As an example, in return for cash, credit, or other currency provided by a customer, the kiosk may dispense a voucher that includes a telephone number and unique identification number. Using this unique identification number and voucher, the customer can telephone the indicated telephone number to activate access to a long-distance calling network.
Other uses for an e-commerce kiosk in this and other embodiments include selling prepaid credit cards and debit cards, adding minutes to prepaid long-distance telephone calling cards, and adding or purchasing minutes for use with prepaid cellular telephone services. As a further example, a customer may deposit cash toward a prepaid debit card the customer already possesses. The debit card may or may not be associated with a bank account.
Such an e-commerce kiosk may also be used by a customer, for example, to pay bills. As an example, a customer may provide cash or other currency to be applied towards payment of a telephone bill.
While some embodiments of e-commerce kiosks may be able to accept payments with cash as well as credit cards or debit cards, other embodiments may be able to accept only cash. Further, some e-commerce kiosks that accept cash may be incapable of returning money or change to the customer. As an example, if a transaction requires a payment of $8, and the customer provides a $10 bill, the e-commerce kiosk may be incapable of returning $2 in physical monetary currency (hereinafter, "currency") as change. Reasons why an e-commerce kiosk may be incapable of returning change include lacking hardware to do so or having an insufficient amount of required denominations of currency. In these situations, the e-commerce kiosk may instead return change to the customer in the form of a voucher.
An e-commerce kiosk may be a "network client" as known in the relevant art and may execute software independent of or in conjunction with an e-commerce kiosk server. The e-commerce kiosk client software may be capable of being executed on devices such as personal computers, handheld devices, Internet terminals, cellular telephones, and point-of-sale terminals. These devices, including the e-commerce kiosk, may be coupled to a variety of input and output devices. Examples of such devices include display screens, printers, cameras, keypads, media dispensers, card readers, monetary currency input regions, touch screens, and digital pens.
In another aspect of this embodiment, the e-commerce kiosk server 114 may be coupled to a database 115. The database 115 may be stored on the same or another e-commerce kiosk server 114, or may reside in a separate server (not shown). One familiar with the relevant art will understand how software executing on an e-commerce kiosk server 114 will be able to retrieve data stored in the database 115, whether that database 115 is stored in the same or separate servers. The database 115 may store information including unique identifiers that have been provided to customers relating to vouchers, a personal identification number associated with each unique identifier, a telephone number for the customer to call for activation of the purchased products, a credit amount, an indication of whether the voucher identified has already been used, and other pertinent information relating to providing e-commerce services on an e-commerce kiosk 102 or 108.
In yet another aspect of this embodiment, the e-commerce kiosk server 114 may be coupled via a communications link 120 to a biometrics server 116 and a content server 118. The biometrics server 116 conducts various fraud detection and prevention activities, including prevention of fraudulent check cashing. The content server 118 may perform various activities, including storing user interface content and advertising for use on the e-commerce kiosks 102 and 108. One familiar with the relevant art will understand how content stored on the content server 118 is transferred via various communications links and protocols to e-commerce kiosks 102 and 108 for rendering the content. The content stored on a content server 118 may include images, Extensible Markup Language ("XML") documents, hypertext markup language ("HTML") documents, and instructions to enable an e-commerce kiosk 102 or 108 to render the documents correctly. As an example, advertising and other content specifically targeted to consumer demographics on a kiosk or time-of-day basis may be rendered on e-commerce kiosks 102 and 108 after retrieval from the content server 118. An e-commerce kiosk 102 located in a department store may display different advertisements than an e-commerce kiosk 108 located at a convenience store. Additionally, an e-commerce kiosk 102 located in a department store may show different advertisements during weekdays than during evenings and weekends to target different demographics. Further, an e-commerce kiosk 102 located in a sporting goods department may show different advertisements than an e-commerce kiosk 102 located in an electronics department. E-commerce kiosks may be located in many locations including shopping centers, street sidewalks, gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants in addition to department and convenience stores.
The e-commerce kiosk server 114 may also be coupled via a communications link 122 to an e-commerce kiosk communications network 124. Multiple service provider systems 128 may also be coupled to the e-commerce kiosk communications network 124 via communications links 126. Examples of service provider systems 128 include systems operated by telephone long distance companies, cellular telephone companies, bankcard companies, and aggregators of services from service providers. These various service provider systems 128 may operate independently on different computer systems and may use different communications protocols. The e-commerce kiosk server 114 may be able to exchange information with multiple service provider systems 128 independently or jointly and in parallel or sequentially despite using the same or different communications protocols or system software.
A possible use scenario of the embodiment described in
In another use scenario, the customer does not need to activate the purchased minutes. Instead, the activation occurs automatically when the minutes are purchased by the customer. This automatic activation may or may not require input from the customer. In yet another embodiment, no activation may be required at all.
In the embodiment described in
In one embodiment of the e-commerce kiosk 200, a telephone handset may be included (not shown) to enable a customer to communicate with advertisers, providers of products sold in the e-commerce kiosk, and to access assistance in using the e-commerce kiosk 200. The e-commerce kiosk may also include a digital camera for use during check cashing and other financial services.
At block 306, the routine 300 determines a total amount of money due from the customer. After presentation of the total amount due, the routine waits until payment is received from the customer. Acceptable forms of payment may include bills, coins, credit or debit cards, or vouchers dispensed by the e-commerce kiosk incidental to a prior transaction. However, this routine 300 is particularly useful when the e-commerce kiosk receives bills or coins and is unable to make change. At block 308, the routine 300 receives payment from the customer. Block 308 is further described below as subroutine 600 in reference to
If, at block 310, the amount received from the customer exceeds the amount due from the customer, the routine 300 then dispenses a voucher to the customer at block 316 for the amount of the payment exceeding the amount due. The routine 300 then continues at block 318 to conclude the sale of the products.
If, at block 310, the amount received from the customer does not exceed the amount due from the customer, then, at block 312, the routine 300 determines whether the amount of money received from the customer is equal to the amount of money due from the customer. If that is the case, the routine 300 concludes the sale of the products at block 318 and ends at block 320. If the amount received from the customer is less than the amount due from the customer, the routine 300 continues at block 314 by requesting an additional payment from the customer, and jumps to block 308 to receive the additional payment. Concluding the sale of the products may include dispensing a voucher other than the voucher described above for returning change to the customer. The routine 300 then ends at block 320.
In an alternate embodiment, the voucher routine 300 may execute block 318 before block 316 when the branch condition at block 310 is true.
In a further aspect of this embodiment, a voucher is credit that can be used at an e-commerce kiosk toward a future transaction. A code may be printed on the voucher enabling the customer to uniquely identify the voucher during such a transaction. Vouchers may also be redeemed via mail. In addition, some forms of e-commerce kiosks may be capable of returning cash in exchange for a voucher. In various other embodiments, vouchers may be issued by an e-commerce kiosk in lieu of cash when a transaction is canceled by the customer after payment, when the customer has paid more than the transaction amount, or when the e-commerce kiosk experiences various forms of errors. A voucher may also be issued by an e-commerce kiosk that is unable to provide change upon excess payment by the customer as a result of not having appropriate denominations of currency.
At block 406, the routine 400 retrieves tax and convenience fee information based on the type and price of the selected products. In one embodiment, the routine 400 retrieves this information from a back office server. In another embodiment, the routine 400 retrieves this information from the same computer system that the routine 400 is executing on. In yet another embodiment, the routine 400 retrieves this information from a third party. At block 408, the routine 400 calculates a sum that is equal to the price of the products selected at block 404, plus a tax amount on this total, and plus a convenience fee.
At block 410, the routine 400 determines an amount needed to round up the sum calculated at block 408 to a whole bill amount. A whole bill amount is an amount that can be paid using one or more denominations of a form of physical monetary currency. Examples of whole bill amounts in the United States may include $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. Examples of total amounts that are not whole bill amounts may include $2.50, $35.27, and $0.65. At block 412, the routine 400 adds the amount determined at block 410 to the convenience fee retrieved at block 406 to determine an augmented convenience fee. At block 414, the routine 400 determines a tax on the augmented convenience fee determined at block 412. At block 416, the routine 400 subtracts the tax determined at block 414 from the augmented convenience fee determined at block 412, and adds that tax amount to the total tax determined at block 406. At block 418, the routine 400 displays the total amount due from the customer.
The customer then has an opportunity at block 420 to accept or reject the order. If the customer accepts the order, the routine 400 continues at block 422, where it receives payment from the customer. At block 424, the routine 400 dispenses a receipt showing the products purchased, the applicable convenience fees, the taxes, and the total amount paid. At block 426, the routine 400 concludes the sale of the selected products. Concluding the sale of the products may include dispensing a voucher other than the voucher described above for returning change to the customer. The routine 400 then ends at block 430. If the customer rejects the order at block 420, the routine 400 ends at block 430.
In one embodiment, only a single bill of physical currency may be deposited by the customer. In yet another embodiment, multiple bills and denominations may be deposited. In another embodiment, the e-commerce kiosk may provide the customer with a list of other products that may be added to the current selection of products to minimize the convenience fee used to round up the amount due to a whole bill amount.
At block 510, the customer cancels the pending transaction after tendering payment. The routine 500 then prompts the customer at block 512 to print a voucher for the amount tendered or select alternate products. If at block 514 the customer elects to select alternate products, the routine 500 continues at block 504. If the customer elects to print a voucher at block 514, then the routine 500 dispenses a voucher to the customer at block 516 for the amount tendered at block 508. The routine 500 then ends at block 520. If the customer makes no selection in response to the prompt of block 512, any amount tendered by the customer is available for the next customer of the e-commerce kiosk 200. The voucher dispensed at block 508 may be used by the customer in a manner similar to that described above for the voucher dispensed at block 316.
In one embodiment, at block 608, the customer is prompted for a unique identifier previously provided with the voucher. In one aspect of this embodiment, the subroutine prompts the customer for a personal identification number ("PIN") associated with the unique identifier provided at block 608. In another aspect of this embodiment, the PIN may be various other indicia that reliably authenticate the voucher.
In another embodiment, the subroutine may receive information relating to the voucher from a barcode previously printed on the voucher.
At block 612, the subroutine validates the received information relating to the voucher. In one embodiment, the information received is transmitted to an e-commerce kiosk server 114 illustrated in
If, at block 606, the customer elects not to use a voucher, then the subroutine determines whether vouchers were used for payment at block 614, in which case the balance would exceed zero. If the balance exceeds zero, the subroutine finishes at block 618. Alternatively, if the balance does not exceed zero at block 614, the subroutine requests the customer to make payments using cash, credit card, debit card, or other non-voucher forms of payment acceptable by an e-commerce kiosk.
In another embodiment, if the customer elects not to use a voucher at block 606, the subroutine ends at block 618. In yet another embodiment, the customer is not prompted to select a payment type at block 604. Instead, the subroutine skips block 604 and prompts the customer to use vouchers at block 606. In such an embodiment, the subroutine also continues at block 606 from block 612.
Several examples of products that an e-commerce kiosk may offer for sale are discussed above. These products may be made available to the customer by dispensing a voucher. Printed on the voucher may be information relating to how the customer may access the products purchased. As an example, the voucher may include a toll-free telephone number and unique identifier.
In one embodiment of the e-commerce kiosk, all user interface-related content and instructions are served from a server. In so doing, one familiar with the relevant art will understand that features and functions may thus be dynamically updated to meet customer needs and incorporate new technological breakthroughs. One familiar with the relevant art will also understand that "dynamically updating" content involves updating content on a server that will be retrieved by a client automatically.
As described above, an e-commerce kiosk may be a stand-alone unit or may be embodied in various other devices such as an automated teller machine. In such a way, a retailer may either choose to install a stand-alone unit or integrate an e-commerce kiosk with some other form of retail machine already in use. As an example, an e-commerce kiosk may be integrated with a vending machine. Another example of an e-commerce kiosk is a countertop module. In such a configuration, a customer selects products to purchase and, optionally, pays using a credit card. If the customer desires to pay by cash, the customer may then pay a retail clerk or cashier.
As described above, an e-commerce kiosk 200 may be a client to an e-commerce kiosk server 114. One familiar with the relevant art will understand how network communications between clients and servers are performed, including the use of various security measures to promote a secure and robust communications environment. One familiar with the relevant art will also understand that the communications networks 106 and 124 may be public networks, private networks, or a combination of both. The communications networks 106 and 124 may or may not share the same communications lines.
One familiar with the relevant art will also understand that the technology described above is not specific to any given hardware configuration, communications protocol, or other systems applications.
Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the words "comprise," "comprising," and the like are to be construed in an inclusive as opposed to exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is to say, in a sense of "including, but not limited to." Words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively. The words "herein," "above," "below," and words of similar import, when used in this application, shall refer to this application as a whole and not to any particular portion of this application.
The above detailed descriptions of embodiments of this invention are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed above. While specific embodiments of, and examples for, the invention are described above for illustrative purposes, various equivalent modifications are possible within the scope of the invention, as those skilled in the relevant art will recognize. For example, while steps or blocks are presented in a given order, alternative embodiments may perform routines having steps or blocks in a different order. The various embodiments described herein can be combined to provide further embodiments. These and other changes can be made to the invention in light of the detailed description.
In general, the terms used in the following claims should not be construed to limit the invention to the specific embodiments disclosed in the specification, unless the above detailed description explicitly defines such terms. Accordingly, the actual scope of the invention encompasses the disclosed embodiments and all equivalent ways of practicing or implementing the invention under the claims. While certain aspects of the invention are presented below in certain claim forms, the inventors contemplate the various aspects of the invention in any number of claim forms. Accordingly, the inventors reserve the right to add additional claims after filing the application to pursue such additional claim forms for other aspects of the invention.

Propet Men's Cruz Waterproof Slip On Reviews
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 9reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by demetri first slip on for my big feet that fit comfortably Never could find a nice light weight shoe with a good sole and comfort fit to my big 14 5e. April 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by RTD50 Nice Pair of Shoes Very comfortable, easy on and easy off November 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MZak Great shoe for the garden I ordered this shoe for my husband to wear out in the yard and garden in the a.m. when the grass is wet. He likes them so much he wants another pair to keep for casual wear. He has some foot issues so the fact that they are light weight, waterproof and come in wide widths was wonderful, plus they are easy to slip on and comfortable to wear. June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Truffels Great comfortable shoes Style, comfort, cushion and support ate the qualities we all need from good shoes. Proper men's Cruz gives my husband all that. So we will continue to order again. October 2, 2013

Cell Broco - 'Little Bit In Love' Out Now, New Animated Video
The debut single from Cell Broco is out now - you can pick up your copy from the Big Dada Shop, iTunes and Amazon.Read More
Cell Broco, recent Big Dada signee, will release his first single for the label Little Bit In Love, on 23rd September 2013! Order your copy from the Ninjashop & iTunes.
Little Bit In Love is the perfect introduction to the work of Cell Broco. The twenty two year old Mancunian makes house music like it's supposed to be - sparse, low-slung and funky as fuck. Not a part of any scene other than Manchester's love of heavy b-lines, glacial synths and jacking hard, Broco not only produces, but sings, too.
On Little Bit In Love this adds up to a perfect storm of tension and release as Broc sets up a loping groove and repeated refrain before bringing the roof in with the sweetest, most catchy of choruses.
Simple, heartfelt and great to dance to - isn't that what we used to call pop music before the cheese factories took over…? With his music already picking up support from DJs as diverse as Breach, Diplo and Two Bears, Cell Broco just might be your favourite new act of the summer.

JAY-IT was not the prettiest of wins, but the North Country girls will take it, as they beat Hartford 4-2 on Monday evening.
All six goals were scored in the third period, with Hartford's Meghan Boardman getting the Hurricanes on the board first.
Savannah Alberghini-Giroux immediately tied the game on the very next shift, followed by two goals by Jenna Moss to make it 3-1 North Country.
Whitney Bernier upped the lead to 4-1 when her attempt at an empty net goal was blocked by a thrown stick, which automatically gave her the goal.
JAY-Despite being heavily outshot for most of the game the game, the North Country boys hockey team was skating neck and neck with the number two ranked Colchester Lakers before eventually falling by the score of 2-1.
Jared Antoniak had a goal in the first and one in the third to make it 2-0 Colchester before Nate Marsh brought the Falcons to within one at 2-1, and that is how the game ended.
North Country now stands at 4-2-1, and will get back at it on Saturday when they face top ranked CVU at the Cairns Arena. Puck drops at 8:15.
Phil White, an attorney, former president of IROC, and the founder of Kingdom Games was chosen as the Newport Daily Express Person of the Year for 2013.

Data-parallel languages like High Performance Fortran allow users to specify mappings of arrays by first aligning elements to an abstract Cartesian grid called templates and then distributing the templates across processors. Code generation then includes the generation of the sequence of local addresses accessed on a processor. Address sequence generation for non-unit alignment strides, referred to as the two-level mapping problem, is difficult. We present efficient solutions to the problem of address generation for two-level mapping for general CYCLIC(k) distribution. Our approach involves the construction of pattern tables which incurs negligible runtime overhead compared to other existing solutions for this problem. We use two applications of the integer lattice-based method developed by Thirumalai and Ramanujam (1996) to generate the pattern of accesses using a variety of techniques. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the techniques presented in this paper significantly outperform current solutions to the two-level mapping problem

Jane Campion directs the erotic thriller In the Cut, based on the best-selling suspense novel by Susanna Moore. Set in New York City during the summertime, the film is centered on Frannie Avery (Meg Ryan), a middle-class English teacher in the midst of researching a book project about colloquial language. One night she accidentally witnesses a sexual situation involving a suspected killer, which may make her valuable to a police investigation. When Detective Malloy (Mark Ruffalo) comes to her apartment to interview her about a neighborhood murder, she becomes intensely attracted to him. Although they are not sure if they can completely trust each other, Frannie and Malloy start up a passionate love affair. Meanwhile, the killer remains on the loose and the list of suspects includes Malloy's partner, Rodriguez (Nick Damici), and Frannie's student Cornelius (Sharrieff Pugh). Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as Frannie's half-sister, Pauline. In the Cut was shown at the 2003 Toronto Film Festival.

The Roberts Hearings Begin
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Online NewsHour Special Reports: The John Roberts Confirmation
- Supreme Court Watch
- Sept. 12, 2005: Update: Roberts Nomination Hearings Open on Capitol Hill
- Sept. 5, 2005: President Bush nominates John Roberts to succeed William Rehnquist as chief justice.
- Aug. 24, 2005: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., says he will ask John Roberts appropriate questions.
MARGARET WARNER: So what do today's opening statements from Judge Roberts and members of the Judiciary Committee tell us about him and what we may expect as the hearings unfold?
For that we're joined by two constitutional law scholars, who follow the Court closely: Kathleen Sullivan, law professor and former dean of the Stanford Law School; and Douglas Kmiec, a professor at Pepperdine Law School and former dean of Catholic University Law School. Welcome to you both.
MARGARET WARNER: Kathleen Sullivan, I'll begin with you. A six and a half minute opening statement — if you were looking at that, parsing it to try to understand Judge Roberts' judicial philosophy, what would you see?
KATHLEEN SULLIVAN: Well, Margaret, it was a picture perfect opening to say that he would be open-minded. But the real test will come when the questions begin tomorrow, and we see what he says in answer to substantive questions about privacy, about Congressional power to regulate the environment and protect civil rights and about limits on executive discretion. And so while it was a beautiful opening statement, we won't know what it really means until he answers the questions starting tomorrow.
MARGARET WARNER: Doug Kmiec, the opening statement — did the umpire analogy work for you?
DOUGLAS KMIEC: I thought it worked brilliantly. The proposition that the umpire does not create the rules, the proposition that no one goes to the game to see the umpire is a reminder that it's Congress and the president that are formulating these policies, and that — that really was the theme of at least the Republican side of the Senate committee today, and that is this is an inquiry that is to respect the separation of powers and the limited role, albeit important role, of the Judiciary to interpret the Constitution and the statutes, as passed by the Congress but not to expect the nominee to run on a political platform or to be expressing his personal views about disputed political issues or about past cases. What they are going to inquire into appropriately is his general understanding of the law.
MARGARET WARNER: And, Kathleen Sullivan, how about the umpire analogy, did that work for you? Do you think that stands up when you think of what a Supreme Court Justice does?
KATHLEEN SULLIVAN: Well, it portrays a fairness, a judiciousness, and open mindedness that's appropriate for the judicial role. But let's face it, Margaret, with all of the talk today from the Republican side about how judges should respect the political branches and they should not legislate from the bench, let's face it, over the period of the Rehnquist court, and we mourn the great Chief Justice William Rehnquist, but the hallmark of his Court with Republicans dominating it was to strike down congressional statute after congressional statute.
So if you want to go to the umpire metaphor, they called a lot of outs and a lot of strikes on the act of Congress — in one six-year period, the Rehnquist court struck down 30 federal laws, more than any time since the New Deal. So respect for the political branches suggests more respect for Congress when it legislates to protect commerce or civil rights.
MARGARET WARNER: Professor Kmiec, were you surprised that that was one issue that seemed to unite both Democrats and Republicans? Quite a few of the senators talked about the propensity of the Rehnquist Court to strike down what they had done.
DOUGLAS KMIEC: Well, it's obvious that this is part of the dynamic between the Congress and the Court. This is part of the separation of powers and checks and balances, and yes, I do think there will be specific questions about his understanding of the commerce power, about the respect of authority of the federal and state government.
Again, he has to be very careful, as Justice Ginsburg pointed out in her own confirmation hearings and as she pointed out eloquently on the Supreme Court in a case a few years back, not to step over the line, make pledges or promises or predictions, but I do think Congress is going to want to know, does this judge have an appropriate deference for Congress when they are within the scope of their authority? But of course we also want to know that when Congress oversteps that authority that this judge has the capacity to interpret the limitations on power to protect or as he put it safeguard individual rights.
MARGARET WARNER: I'm going to stay with you Professor Kmiec, because we're having a little trouble with the audio at Stanford. Talk to us about the common theme of the Democrats and what they'll really be looking for. In other words, if Judge Roberts is to be confirmed by let's say a big bipartisan vote, as many justices have been, what did you hear today that told you what the Democrats are looking for?
DOUGLAS KMIEC: Well, I think the real problem on the Democratic side is that they've got a nominee here who is of such superb quality and articulateness that their primary interests seem to be in terms of their statements in policies, that they are going to ask about affirmative action, they're going to ask about gay rights. They're going to ask about the right of privacy.
They're going to go down the laundry list of difficult issues that we expect the legislature in the executive to deal with. And quite frankly, I think they will be somewhat frustrated that John Roberts will decline to substitute himself to, as he said, make the umpire into the batter or the pitcher or the catcher.
You know Senator Schumer, Margaret, said the key for him was entirely ideology, but compare that statement to Senator Graham's statement, Sen. Graham of course being one of the pivotal figures who carved out the compromise that ended the judicial filibuster, Senator Graham said, look, we understand that John Roberts is of a conservative mind. There's nothing wrong in that. President Bush is of a conservative mind and he won the election. And the ideological question is determined every four years when presidents are elected; they're not determined when we're determining the merits and fitness of judicial candidates.
MARGARET WARNER: Professor Sullivan, we heard Senator Kennedy, several other senators talk about the court as an institution that has continually expanded the rights and liberties of individual Americans in different areas, whether it's civil rights, women's rights, so forth, and that they saw the court's role and they wanted to make sure that Judge Roberts was ready to did this, to continue — not only restrict those rights, but continually expand them. Do you see that as a theme that unites everything the Democrats said?
KATHLEEN SULLIVAN: Well, both Senator Leahy in his opening statement and Senator Kennedy and the other senators on the Democratic side were very eloquent on that theme. Senator Leahy began with the preamble to the Constitution, "We the people," and talked about how the concept of the people had expanded to include African-Americans, women and other minorities in the right to vote as well as all the other rights.
So it was very much a theme of the Constitution that's not frozen in time as of 1789, but a Constitution that through the interpretation of the court and the amendments by the people has embraced new rights, but has committed to its original purpose of protecting minorities against oppression. Let's remember, we live not just in a democracy, where the majority can always trample on minority rights, but in a constitutional democracy with a Bill of Rights that protects minorities against majority oppression.
MARGARET WARNER: Did you – let me just interrupt you there. Did you hear from the Republicans a common opposition to that idea?
KATHLEEN SULLIVAN: Well, when the Republicans say don't legislate from the bench, they mean, don't strike down abortion restrictions; don't strike down anti-gay legislation, but they seem fine with striking down all kinds of laws that are designed to control gun use or protect women against violence, or to restore religious liberty. So they're selective in when they think you should strike things down.
But what I heard on the Democratic side, Margaret, was an attempt that really goes beyond this hearing. The Democrats are trying to lay out an affirmative vision of the Constitution that speaks not just to this nominee or these hearings but to the role of this party in shaping the court and I think trying to socialize Justice Roberts when he becomes Chief Justice Roberts to take account of those principles and purposes when he's on the bench.
And they said it as part of this process, Margaret; it is a process that was submitted by the farmers not just to the president but to the president with the advice and consent of the Senate, and they're trying to put a marker down that says the Constitution embraces lots more people besides those who win political victories in legislatures.
MARGARET WARNER: And Doug Kmiec, so if you take what Kathleen Sullivan just said – and you've referred to similar – that similar tension – it's really going to – we're really going to see tomorrow what kinds of questions Judge Roberts is prepared to answer that do offer hints, at least, about his philosophy.
I mean, there are different categories, right, his own writings, how he feels about past Supreme Court decisions, or more broadly, issues?
DOUGLAS KMIEC: Well, I think it's entirely appropriate for John Roberts to answer questions of methodology, how do you come to interpret the Constitution, what sources do you consult, what honor do you give to past decisions, how do you give respect under the doctrine of stare decisis –
MARGARET WARNER: Precedent.
DOUGLAS KMIEC: — when is a case suitable for overruling and when is it not – exactly.
He has to be careful, as Justice Ginsburg was careful in declining to answer over 55 times in her hearings to not step over the line where he is saying, my personal view of the death penalty is thus and such, or my personal view of this past decision is for it or against it.
Justice Ginsburg did her best to never do that and to stick as close as she could to giving an explanation of what the Constitution, as originally ratified, or as construed, has been found to mean, demonstrating her competence, demonstrating her open-mindedness, and as Senator Graham pointed out, many of her past writings, like John Roberts', had a strong ideological bent to them, but they didn't disqualify her from service by virtue of the fact that she was able to demonstrate her commitment to law.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Professor Douglas Kmiec and Kathleen Sullivan, thank you both.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Rafael Nadal didn't drop a set and Roger Federer didn't pick up a racket. Both reached the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday along with several of the top women.
Nadal beat German veteran Tommy Haas 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, declaring that the twisted tendon in the heavily taped knee was not a concern.
Just before Federer was due on Hisense Arena, the Swiss player found out that his scheduled opponent, Germany's Andreas Beck, had a back injury and had to withdraw.
"Now, I'll just take it easy this afternoon and come out tomorrow and hit intensely, and then I'll be ready for the next match," said Federer, a four-time Australian Open winner.
Defending champion Kim Clijsters and No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki won their second-round matches Wednesday on their way to a potential quarterfinal meeting.
French Open champion Li Na also advanced, defeating Olivia Rogowska of Australia 6-2, 6-2. She could meet Clijsters in the fourth round in a rematch of last year's final at Melbourne Park.
American John Isner won a 4-hour, 41-minute marathon, including a 99-minute last set, over former Wimbledon finalist David Nalbandian. Isner had 43 aces in his 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 10-8 win.
Nadal, asked after his match if he would have appreciated the same kind of good fortune, was pragmatic.
"Before the day started, yes," he said, smiling. "Now that I've played and won, I'm happy. It was a positive match, but not that demanding. We didn't play four hours, five hours. Three sets, so it wasn't that tough."
Nadal and Federer could meet in the semifinals next week. Top-seeded Novak Djokovic and fourth-seeded Andy Murray, the threats from the other side of the draw, play their second-rounders Thursday.
Clijsters needed only 47 minutes to beat Stephanie Foretz Gacon of France 6-0, 6-1 and Wozniacki defeated Anna Tatishvili of Georgia 6-1, 7-6 (4).
Clijsters said she doesn't give a lot of thought to who she'll face down the road of any tournament.
"That's something that I definitely learned since I was younger … the media people always start to talk about the future, quarterfinal, semifinal, a tough third, fourth round coming up before the tournament even starts," the Belgian veteran said. "I don't like to waste my energy on those kind of thoughts."
Third-seeded Victoria Azarenka, one of five players who could have the No. 1 women's ranking by the end of the tournament, beat Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-1, 6-0.
Elsewhere on the women's side, 10th-seeded Francesca Schiavone was eliminated 6-4, 6-3 by fellow Italian Romina Oprandi and No. 16 Peng Shuai of China lost 6-2, 6-4 to Iveta Benesova of Czech Republic.

That is per a conservative Supreme Court that decided the issue.

This would basically equate to the database transaction or (CRUD Action - Create, Read, Update or Delete) that is wanted to be performed: RESTful web services have open been mentioned as alternatives to 'Traditional SOA' (SOAP / XML-RPC), however, I believe they need to work hand-in-hand to provide a mix of sources for Mashups (and Mashup editors) .
With web services that are generally SOAP-based, the request and response are hidden. SOAP requests must be interpreted as they are received at the server to determine the operation to perform and the arguments required to perform that operation. They are generally passed through as a parameter, which is essentially a function/method call. Therefore, the REST service architecture shows itself as a much more simpler, more standardized in terms of CRUD-style applications and is very similar to the HTTP protocol.

CINCINNATI — You're a mom arriving home from work on Friday in Cincinnati, and you flip on the local ABC news as you push the kids outside to play and settle in the kitchen to get dinner ready.
Four minutes into the 5 o'clock news, you see an ad for Mitt Romney, commiserating that "there's suffering in this country." Moments later, Mr. Obama is on the screen accusing Mr. Romney of raising nursing home fees as governor of Massachusetts. Minutes later, Mr. Romney is back again, smiling earnestly and telling you that the question you should be asking "is who can bring back the jobs?"
Six minutes, three campaign commercials. Flip over to CBS, NBC or Fox — which isn't even showing a newscast, but rather "The Rikki Lake Show" — and it's the same.
Welcome to the air wars playing out in the battleground state of Ohio, where the presidential campaigns, the national political parties, interest groups and the state's two Senate candidates are clawing morning, noon and night for precious airtime.
"There is no time of the day where you can get away from the ads," said Alex Triantafilou, chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party.
Even insomniacs are bombarded, leaving Gene Beaupre, Xavier University political scientist, to wonder who the target audience is for ads that run at 4:30 a.m.
"I don't know who those people are — are they swing voters?" he said.
It all translates into a boom year for local stations, who have had candidates advertise early and very, very often.
"The biggest change from 2008 to 2012 is that the cycle began much earlier," said Les Vann, general manager of WKRC-TV, the local CBS affiliate. "We had volume and activity in Cincinnati in April and May this year that we did not see in 2008 until July and August."
His experience has taught him that the most sought-after time slots are during the local newscasts and during National Football League games featuring the hometown Bengals.
Newscasts in some parts of the country reportedly have had to curtail their news time to accommodate the flood of ads. Mr. Vann said his station hasn't had to do that but said, "We would look at that if the demand was high enough."
Flipping between the channels on Friday between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., The Washington Times saw at least 60 commercials on the four networks.
The jobs theme dominated, especially in the ads featuring Mr. Romney touting his plan to create 12 million jobs in one term.
Attack ads included Obama campaign clips accusing Mr. Romney of raising nursing home fees in Massachusetts.
"His budget cuts Medicaid by one-third and burdens families with the cost of nursing home care," the ad announcer intones.

turbine has a good track record of stopping small insignificant exploits then leaving a boss permanently unkillable in half of the runs you do for months/years. lot of people have come to dislike this priorities from turbine and these days its pretty common for the forumers whos been around for awhile to advocate only fixing buggs that "hurts" us players in getting a quest completed since they know even if they ignore half the buggs it can be longer then a year to fix key buggs.
to most people they dont really mind this exploit so when you suggest this they see all that dev time going into fixing each of these quests individually and slowly finding all the perch spots hurting pushing back the important bugg fixing like broken feat and key spells not working for well over 6months now. (im looking at you wail and combat archery)
myself i rather like the perch spot if we come to endfight and things go wrong (stupid team members im looking at you or if im very tired) then this is a good backuptactic i prefer over spamming sp pots.
if they try a blanket solution like the dungeon alert or similar then i just know they gona screw it up in a couple of quests and make them unplayable for a minimum of 6months and then the next update they gona break couple of quests again making them unplayable for 3months rinse and repeat. personally think the perching is lot less bother then any solution
