I am a single woman who is entering midlife. I am a therapist and a poet.

The Future of Existential Psychology: Was Nietzsche Right?
If the future of Existential Psychology could be reduced to a bumper sticker, it might be this one: "Nietzsche Was Right." In 1882, Nietzsche put some stunning words in the mouth of a character: God is dead, we have killed him, and the implications are staggering. Let me quote from the passage: "Is not the magnitude of this...

Marriage Equality, Religion, and Polarization
One of the most divisive and polarizing issues in contemporary United States society is marriage equality.

Distracted Doing
In my continuing quest to understand work habits and productivity from an existential perspective, an article from The New York Times really caught my eye—it detailed a study on what impact distractions have on our cognitive abilities.

Among the varied and unending quests to comprehend the meaning of human experience and the nature of being human, broad consensus can be found as to the inevitability of suffering.

I have recently completed a six-day short trip back to my late grandfather's village in Shantou, China.

Why Wanderlust Festival is like cheerleading camp. ~ Rachel Meyer
Been to Wanderlust? No? Either way, maybe you'll identify with this witty review of "Yoga Disneyland" by Wanderlust alum, Rachel Meyer.
— Recovering Yogi co-founder, Vanessa Fiola
With thanks to Recovering Yogi for playing nice and sharing with our readers—this piece originally appeared on that great site on August 12, 2011. ~ ed.
Back in the day, before Facebook, before Twitter, before even, um, cell phones, I went to cheerleading camp. June 1994, my friends. Picture it now.
Actually, let me clarify: it was dance camp. Drill team camp. We danced, people. There was no clapping involved; there was no cheering involved. We were seriously legit high-art dancers. Who wore cheerleading skirts and tiny tops and carried sparkly pom-poms and did kicklines. But we were not cheerleaders. Got that?
So, this being Lincoln, Nebraska, our options for local high school dance line camps were limited. You could drive to Omaha. You could get really brave and truck all the way to Denver or Chicago. You could stay in town and be pathetic. Or you could load up a big conversion van and haul a few hours south to the bustling metropolis of Emporia, Kansas, where the wise folks at Emporia State University decided to make a few bucks over the summertime by filling their empty dorm rooms with 15-year-old Nebraska cheerleading chicks.
Fast-forward 16 years later, and I was once again packing a bag full of spandex leggings and sports bras for a different stretchy endeavor.
Late July, 2010: I hauled my ass up the mountain for a quick two days at the still relatively unknown Wanderlust Festival near Tahoe, a weekend conflation of yoga, music and nature that took Squaw Valley and turned it into a melee of yoga tops and hippie pants and lots and lots of Kombucha.
I was kind of nervous. Wasn't sure it'd be my thing. I'm a lone ranger at heart, really, usually content to be alone with my book and my mat and maybe a little sun, and the prospect of several days' worth of obligatory mingling made me shudder. But I thought I'd give it a shot. Worst-case scenario, I could always pack up and head out early.
And, you know, it was great. I dug the yoga, got my sweat on, met a few new folks, had a good time. And I did leave early, before the weariness from all the New Age-speak and the schmoozing could set in. But some strange sense of deja vu hung over me that whole weekend, and I couldn't figure it out. It was like I'd been there before.
And that's when I realized.
Wanderlust was cheerleading camp for grown-ups.
So I went back again this year fully prepared for an explosion of ego and stretch. Notebook at my side, pen in hand, I was ready to dive into the yoga, jam out to a few tunes, and ditch the rest. And, not gonna lie: it was gravy.
My arms got rocked, my hamstrings were happy, and I met a few other nerds who liked to talk about bandhas and sutras and shit.
It's dangerous, though, you know? Practicing in the sun for hours, concrete under your mat, knees ripped up and feet filthy, you get so lost in the contrived removal from the Real World, this Yoga Disneyland of sorts. It's tempting, a total tease; after all, who wouldn't want to leave the day-to-day sludge of the work world behind to just hang out half-naked in a perpetual Savasana, listening to music under the stars, punch-drunk on Parivrtta Parsvakonasana?
So I very deliberately lurked in back, on the margins, and kept my cover. I didn't tell people I was a teacher. I slipped into the last row and scanned people's faces, watched their reactions, checked out their matching lulu gear.
And, in so doing, I found myself right back in Emporia, 1994. That said, I give you:
15 Reasons Why Wanderlust is Like Cheerleading Camp.
- Lots of pretty skinny young people pretending they really like each other but secretly scoping out the competition
- Spending four days perpetually hot, sweaty, smelly and sore
- Lycra everywhere you look
- Folks fighting for the front row where they can show off their dopest backbends and fly into handstands on every vinyasa. Battle of the egos, Tahoe-style. Vaguely shrouded by assertions of yogic humility.
- Countless obligatory mingling events
- Vast opportunities for stealing other people's choreography — er, sequencing
- Cliques and packs, usually identified by matching t-shirts ("Ohh, you're from Z studio, too?")
- Mostly white, upper middle class. Lots of privilege. (Tickets cost $400, folks. Not to mention the expense of getting there, and staying. Oy.)
- Merch around every corner. ("Buy my stuff and it'll take your practice through the roof! Wear this and you'll be an arm balance ninja!" Ahem.)
- High maintenance diets verging on the disordered. (Overheard at the Lydia's raw food tent: "Um, are there Brazil nuts in there? Because I can eat other nuts but not Brazil nuts because they make my stomach tender and maybe not cashews because they're not sustainably farmed in [fill in the blank] and I try to avoid dairy because my joints puff up so please no cheese and how about the pesto, is that sustainably and locally made, too, oh, and please don't cook it, you'll kill the enzymes!")
- First-world problems. ("My wireless doesn't work! I can't find my Nalgene! Somebody stole my Yogitoes! My implants ruptured!")
- Scantily-clad folks in uniform. Whereas back in Emporia that meant red and white scrunchies for the same slicked-back, hairsprayed ponytails, at Wanderlust it's more like matching wash-off tattoos. (Your fake-inked shoulder tells me you're from Yoga Branch studio. Subtle, baby, subtle.)
- An abundance of painfully awkward mandatory dance breaks in the middle of asana classes. Teachers: please stop doing this. Please. Just. Stop.
- "After-hours" means "yogis gone wild" up at the pool at High Camp: bikinis (usually) and cocktails and more summertime straw fedoras than you can shake a stick at
- Sheer exhaustion in the face of so much pep

Heh. I thought it witty.
Thanks, JJ!
haha…love it rachel. as for the above comment, lighten up please. i happen to know that the author had a lovely time too, and there's nothing wrong in satirically jabbing at an event we know is largely commercial in scope.
Satire rocks. Critical thinking, even moreso. Thanks, Wendy.
yup. definitely funny. also makes me want to go. maybe next year elej can swing me a free pass so i can tease all the yogis too!
Thanks, Dave! You should absolutely go. Bring your sharp mind and your sense of humor, don't take yourself too seriously, get some good asana on, drink in some mountain air, and get in there. I'll be back for sure, notebook in hand, but maybe with a flask at my side this time, as well.
Ha! Rachel I love this. I completely agree! I had a blast at Wanderlust but it is definitely less like burning man and more like cheer camp (which I have also attended twice! ACTUAL cheer camp, where we had to cheer during our meals.)
Hi Stephanie — thanks! Ahhhh, cheering during meals?!?? Shoot me in the face.
Dance breaks in between asana?? Sounds like something I'd love! 😛

Thanks, Tanya! Congrats on your new gig. Awesome. (And I preferred the dance breaks during the live music under the stars to Girl Talk and MC Yogi, instead of on the mat during what was supposed to be an asana practice…..but whatever floats your boat.)
Thanks Rachel!! I have big shoes to fill! Thank goodness Bob isn't going anywhere. And, LOL – I tend to agree, but every now and then I'm up for something that totally disturbs my routine all together. 😛
Just posted to "Featured Today" on the Elephant Yoga homepage.
Like pretty much everyone else over in the comments at Recovering Yogi, I am horrified at number 13 and that one deserves its own post. Dance breaks on the yoga mat are never okay, teachers! There is seriously no better way to take us out of our bodies entirely and make us feel self-conscious and on the spot.
Amen, Joslyn; amen. I cannot believe the response to #13 — apparently, EVERYONE hates those. I thought I was the only one. You nailed it with "taking us out of our bodies" — that's exactly why they make me crazy. Writing this post in my head already…
Oh thank goodness, someone has to make the dance break stops.
On a personal mission. Let's make it happen, Tali.

Well, the only thing – but it was MAJOR – is that this exposé of new trope of yoga repackaging into the Woodstock and Monterey Jazz Festival of this era, insults CHEERLEADERS.
Granted, those are 15 year old kids we are talking about.
But still, there is a place in the larger society for cheerleaders and being true to your school …
That being said, this article rocks … and I am glad I am too old for this nonsense. I am a refugee from studio classes that had that before-class showoffy vibe (and I don't like it). I also just … don't…. know about these Anusara-ites. I would have been in the hot tub with bells on!
And thanks, Yogini5, for "getting it." Hot tub with bells on. You know it, baby.

Get into the habit of developing your paper for a full three minutes. A minute and a half isn't generally enough.
5-8 seconds is also too short an exposure time. Just a slight bit more or less could have a huge effect on your print; so short a time also doesn't give you any time for dodging/burning. Try stopping down your enlarging lens so that you achieve an exposure of at least 15-20 seconds. That way you can more easily fine-tune your exposure if you find your prints are too dark or too light.

Lift Every Voice and Sing: A Celebration of the Negro National Anthemby Julian Bond
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A group of young men in Jacksonville, Florida, arranged to celebrate Lincoln's birthday in 1900. My brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, and I decided to write a song to be sung at the exercise. I wrote the words and he wrote the music. Our New York publisher, Edward B. Marks, made mimeographed copies for us and the song was taught to and sung by a chorus of five hundred colored school children.
Shortly afterwards my brother and I moved from Jacksonville to New York, and the song passed out of our minds. But the school children of Jacksonville kept singing it, they went off to other schools and sang it, they became teachers and taught it to other children. Within twenty years it was being sung over the South and in some other parts of the country. Today, the song, popularly known as the Negro National Hymn, is quite generally used.
The lines of this song repay me in elation, almost of exquisite anguish, whenever I hear them sung by Negro children.
--James Weldon Johnson, 1935
Pasted into Bibles, schoolbooks, and hearts, Lift Every Voice and Sing, written by J. Rosamond Johnson and James Weldon Johnson in 1900, has become one of the most beloved songs in the African American community--taught for years in schools, churches, and civic organizations. Adopted by the NAACP as its official song in the 1920s and sung throughout the civil rights movement, it is still heard today at gatherings across America.
James Weldon Johnson's lyrics pay homage to a history of struggle but never waver from a sense of optimism for the future--facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won. Its message of hope and strength has made Lift Every Voice and Sing a source of inspiration for generations.
In celebration of the song's centennial, Julian Bond and Sondra Kathryn Wilson have collected one hundred essays by artists, educators, politicians, and activists reflecting on their personal experiences with the song. Also featuring photos from historical archives, Lift Every Voice and Sing is a moving illustration of the African American experience in the past century.
With contributors including John Hope Franklin, Jesse Jackson, Maya Angelou, Norman Lear, Maxine Waters, and Percy Sutton, this volume is a personal tribute to the enduring power of an anthem. Lift Every Voice and Sing has touched the hearts of many who have heard it because its true aim, as Harry Belafonte explains, isn't just to show life as it is but to show life as it should be.
Commemorating the centennial of James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which became the Negro national anthem and its meaning to African Americans, this evocative compilation of essays features contributions by Maya Angelou, Bill and Camille Cosby, Colin Powell, Norman Lear, Denzel Washington, George and Barbara Bush, and others. notables. 50,000 first printing.
It is wondrous and hardly explicable to many how James Weldon Johnson could have written such spiritually enriching lyrics in 1900 despite the restraints ordained by Jim Crow laws, despite frenzied lynchings and mob violence, despite the fact that white America had established an educational system teeming with stereotypes that had misrepresented and malformed virtually every external view of African American life. Underpinning these sweeping injustices was the Supreme Court's ruling in the infamous Plessy v. Ferguson case four years before Lift Every Voice and Sing was written in 1900. This decision meant that state laws requiring separate but equal facilities for African Americans were a reasonable use of state powers. Further, The object of the Fourteenth] Amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the laws, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based

Interaction between Endogenous Human Capital and Technological Change
This paper examines how interaction between endogenous human capital accumulation and technological change affects relative wages and economic growth. Private incentives to invest in human capital finance and employment of skilled labor in the education sector, while non-rival technology a by-product of the education process. The absorption of new technologies into production is skill intensive, creates skill-biased labor demand, and increases the relative wage of skilled to unskilled labor. In contrast to recent models of endogenous growth, higher rates of technological change and growth may be accompanied by a higher relative wage but lower relative supply of skilled labor. Thus the model provides a theoretical foundation for the empirically observed relation between technological change and relative demand, supply and wages of skilled labor.

White paper: Insiders' Guide to Evaluating Remote Control Software - Sponsored Whitepaper
Sponsored by
Download Entire Whitepaper
With a clear business case and a promise to make life easier, it is no wonder many organizations have been quick to adopt remote control software. However, in today's computing environment, IT professionals must address business requirements that focus on protecting the security of networks, meeting the needs of a heterogeneous workforce, and deploying solutions across many users. The type of remote control software an organization chooses to implement can have a strong affect on its ability to deliver in the areas of scalability, compatibility, and particularly security.
This paper examines the remote control software functionality that best serves organizations that need a highly secure tool that crosses all platforms and devices and is completely scalable in any environment. It will help IT professionals select a remote control solution that increases productivity and customer satisfaction, as well as enhances the flexibility of the IT organization and improves the company's risk profile.
Insiders' Guide to Evaluating Remote Control Software Three Fundamental Rules for Choosing the Best
For almost 30 years, remote control software has allowed IT professionals to connect to desktops and servers to manage networks and provide support. Companies taking advantage of remote control technology have saved tremendous amounts of time, money, and resources by eliminating the need for IT staff to travel, reducing system down time, and improving the efficiency of the IT organization.
As businesses continue to look to technology to help streamline processes, cut costs, operate globally, and create mobile workforces, remote control software has transitioned from a "technical support tool" into an integral part of any IT infrastructure and a key application for customer service, manufacturers and the mobile workforce. As IT becomes pervasive, organizations are looking to remote control software to assist customers, trouble-shoot and maintain products from a distance. Bottom line, without remote control software, IT department budgets would grow exponentially, system reliability would suffer, and end users would be dissatisfied.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Re: Tofu and type B
Posted By: MichelleA (B+)
In Response To: Tofu and type B (Robert Saltzman)
Hi Robert,
Sorry I can't help, but I've been wondering about this one, too. I have been eating tofu about once a week with no apparent difficulty. Then again, there aren't any foods that give me a real obvious negative reaction. I noticed a few days ago in the new CR4YT that tofu is definitely listed as an "avoid" for we B's, but I remember reading (possibly in ER4YT, Ask Dr. D, or on this message board) that tofu was considered benign but not encouraged for us because of the concern we might replace the nore HB meats with it. I wish I knew whether the "avoid" status was due to that or to the discovery of an incompatible lectin as I would like to enjoy it occasionally.
Any enlightenment, Dr. D?!

Diabetes is one of the risk factors for cognitive deficits such as Alzheimer's disease. To obtain a better understanding of the anti-dementia effect of chotosan (CTS), a Kampo formula, we investigated its effects on cognitive and emotional deficits of type 2 diabetic db/db mice and putative mechanism(s) underlying the effects.
Seven-week-old db/db mice received daily administration of CTS (375 – 750 mg/kg, p.o.) and the reference drug tacrine (THA: 2.5 mg/kg, i.p.) during an experimental period of 7 weeks. From the age of 9-week-old, the animals underwent the novel object recognition test, the modified Y-maze test, and the water maze test to elucidate cognitive performance and the elevated plus maze test to elucidate anxiety-related behavior. After completing behavioral studies, Western blotting and immunohistochemical studies were conducted.
Compared with age-matched non-diabetic control strain (m/m) mice, db/db mice exhibited impaired cognitive performance and an increased level of anxiety. CTS ameliorated cognitive and emotional deficits of db/db mice, whereas THA improved only cognitive performance. The phosphorylated levels of Akt and PKCα in the hippocampus were significantly lower and higher, respectively, in db/db mice than in m/m mice. Expression levels of the hippocampal cholinergic marker proteins and the number of the septal cholinergic neurons were also reduced in db/db mice compared with those in m/m mice. Moreover, the db/db mice had significantly reduced levels of vasculogenesis/angiogenesis factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor type 2, platelet-derived growth factor-B, and PDGF receptor β, in the hippocampus. CTS and THA treatment reversed these neurochemical and histological alterations caused by diabetes.
These results suggest that CTS ameliorates diabetes-induced cognitive deficits by protecting central cholinergic and VEGF/PDGF systems via Akt signaling pathway and that CTS exhibits the anxiolytic effect via neuronal mechanism(s) independent of cholinergic or VEGF/PDGF systems in db/db mice.

China Glaze Retro Diva Collection for Fall 2009 – Swatches Part 2
China Glaze Retro Diva Collection for Fall 2009 – Part 2
Six more shades from China Glaze's latest launch, and there is sure to be at least one that catches your eye. My personal favorites were Cords, Let's Groove, and Thunderbird. What are your faves?
- Cords is a metallic-y grayish taupe-brown. It has silver flecks of shimmer and a metallic sheen, but I did find brush strokes to show up more often in the finish.
- Let's Groove is a rich, vroyal purple with cool purple and hot pink shimmer laced within it. I loved this shade — it looked so stunning on the nails.
- Thunderbird is a vibrant ruby red with softer red shimmer. It applied easily and without a fuss. It's just such a rich shade of red that made me go "ooh!"
- Skate Night is a raspberryish shade with softer pink-raspberry shimmer. It's a gorgeous shade, and it is lighter than Stroll, for those who thought they looked the same.
- Cruisin' is a paler, lighter shade of orange with brown undertones. It has soft orange shimmer. It's not as bright as Free Love, especially because the brown helps tone it down quite a bit.
- Street Racing is a rustic shade of copper with a little bit of red. It has flecks of bronzy-red shimmer and a metallic finish. I found brush strokes did show up a bit, but not too badly in this one.

Far Out
China Glaze Retro Diva Collection for Fall 2009 – Part 1
For fall, China Glaze is bringing back the shades of the 70s for your polishing pleasure. Twelve shades with metallic-y finishes, soft shimmer, and lots of deep hues. Here are six of the twelve, with the second set to follow shortly! Of these six, my favorites were Short & Sassy, Stella, and Stroll.
- Far Out is a warm-toned caramel brown with golden-bronze shimmer. It applies evenly and is opaque in about one medium thick coat or two thin-to-medium coats.
- Short & Sassy is a gorgeous, rich burgundy-red-wine with low shimmer. It's a rich shade of garnet, which definitely makes it a perfect hue for the cooler fall season.
- Stella is a purple wine shade with fuchsia-pink shimmer. It applies easily and streak-free with either two thin or medium thick coats.
- Stroll is a mostly opaque strawberry-jelly shade of red with golden shimmer weaved through it. I really loved the color itself, but I found application a bit more finnicky, so more precise, clean application is a must.
- Drive In is a fiery red with orange glimmer that really does remind mem of the way fire looks at night. Very pretty!
- Free Love is a bright shade of orange with just a touch of brownish-red in it that keeps it from being too bright. I love the flecks of orange shimmer in it.

In addition to the standard accessories included with the camera by the manufacturer, this Basic Accessory Kit includes a 16GB memory card and camera pouch selected to fit your specific camera. These additional accessories will get you shooting from day one with everything you need.

Park just a drop in the bucket
City details water use at Cove
Operation of the city-owned Castaway Cove Waterpark at 1000 Central Freeway East has caused a stir among some residents about why the park is operating during the drought.
City officials have urged Wichita Falls residents to do their part to conserve water during the stage 3 drought emergency.
Recent studies by the Wichita Falls Public Works Department show the park's annual water consumption is not particularly high, officials said.
"It's a very small amount compared to the overall amount of water that's used in the city," Assistant City Manager Kevin Hugman said. "I think people tend to think that there's a lot of water (used by the park), but it's really not as much as people think."
The Public Works Department compiled a list of the top 100 water consumers in the Wichita Falls area, excluding city facilities (Castaway Cove is not a city facility) and wholesale customers in 2012.
Sheppard Air Force Base, Midwestern State University, the Wichita Falls school district and PPG were among the major users listed. Castaway Cove didn't make the top 100.
"We're not sure how much water was actually saved," Hugman said. "But it was a significant amount to justify keeping the pools running during the winter."
The park also complies with all of the city's irrigation requirements, only irrigating turf areas once a week during allowed times. Those restrictions went into effect last year.
Castaway Cove employs 150 full-time workers during the summer months, as well as several year-round employees. All of those people would be put out of jobs if the park were to close.
The park also generates gross revenue of $1.5 million each year.
More than half of the park's visitors last year came from out of town, bringing in money not already in the community, Hugman said.
"The water park would not make any money at all if it was closed, and it would in fact lose money because there are still costs to operating the equipment," Hugman said. "We would have to keep the pumps running and keep the pool circulating," without generating revenue to offset those costs, he said.
"I think a lot of people have the misconception that the water park has free water because it's a city-owned facility," Hugman said. "That's completely false. The water park does care about how much water it uses, and it's concerned about keeping those costs down."
Vaughn also said the park is doing all it can to conserve water.
"We've had some good weather here lately," Vaughn said. "I think once people come in and realize that we are trying to save water, they'll come out here and enjoy the park like they have before."
Still, despite reasons to keep the park open, Hugman said the city is not opposed to shutting down the park down if water restrictions call for it.
Stage 4 water restrictions will be discussed at Tuesday's City Council meeting, according to Hugman.
But stage 4 does not include further restrictions on pools, including Castaway Cove.

Contact Us
As profiled below, we have achieved incomparable results in patent litigation. Our success reflects the depth and talent of the lawyers in our patent practice. It also reflects the strategic and results-oriented focus we adopt for every facet of a patent case - including discovery, claim construction, summary judgment, trial, appeal, as well as alternative dispute resolution. Our approach enables us to obtain the best possible results for our clients - by out-litigating without out-spending our opposition.
Round Rock Research LLC v. SanDisk Corporation:
We represented SanDisk in defending against numerous patent assertions by Round Rock, including a total of 15 patents asserted in two separate litigations in the District of Delaware, and 12 patents asserted in another litigation in the Northern District of California. We prevailed in all adjudicated phases of the Delaware and California actions before the parties reached a broad settlement. In the first Delaware phase, which culminated with a jury trial on two asserted patents, we obtained a jury verdict invalidating all asserted claims of both patents. In the next Delaware phase, a second jury trial was vacated after we obtained summary judgment invalidating claims from a third patent asserted by Round Rock. The other patents in the Delaware actions remained pending adjudication when the parties settled. In the California action, we secured final judgment in favor of SanDisk after obtaining a summary-judgment victory based on patent exhaustion.
Ziptronix v. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company:
We won summary judgment of non-infringement for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. and its subsidiary TSMC, North America in a long-running patent lawsuit brought by North Carolina semiconductor company, Ziptronix, Inc. Ziptronix had asserted nine patents and more than 500 patent claims directed to TSMC's manufacturing of semiconductors for use in backside-illumination image sensors used predominantly in smartphone cameras. On behalf of TSMC, we defeated Ziptronix's claims by arguing that the territorial limits of U.S. patent law prohibited reaching TSMC's business transactions and manufacturing operations in Taiwan.
Netflix, Inc. v. Rovi:
We defended our clients Netflix, Inc. and Roku Corporation in a U.S. International Trade Commission complaint filed by Rovi Corporation. The complaint accused our clients, along with Mitsubishi Electric Corp., LG Electronics Inc., and Vizio Inc., of infringing several patents related to interactive program guides. The complaint sought an order banning television and media-player makers from entering the U.S. By the time of the trial, the other defendants had settled and our clients faced four patents. We successfully defended our clients, with the ALJ finding one of the patents invalid and none of the patents infringed, as well as no actionable importation or available remedy. The ITC reviewed the entire investigation and confirmed there was no violation. Rovi then pursued the matter in District Court with three of the same patents used in the ITC investigation as well as two additional patents. We composed a strategy which drew upon recent developments in patentable subject matter eligibility, and won our motion for summary judgment of invalidity on all five patents.
Oracle America, Inc. v. Google Inc.:
We represented Google in a high-stakes patent and copyright war brought by Oracle with billions of dollars at stake. Oracle, which bought the Java programming language by acquiring Sun Microsystems in January 2010, alleged that Google's Android mobile technology infringed Oracle's Java patents and copyrights. An expert for Oracle estimated Google owed Oracle up to $6 billion in damages for infringement. Our team defended Google against all the patent and copyright claims, and also argued that the damage estimates were wildly inflated. Following repeated rounds of motions and briefing, the judge dismissed the bulk of Oracle's copyright claims, and at trial the jury rendered a unanimous verdict rejecting all claims of patent infringement. Although the jury decided that Google infringed an Oracle copyright on nine out of millions of lines of source code, the case is considered a sweeping victory for Google, with zero damages.
VS Technologies LLC v. Twitter Inc.:
By winning a defense verdict in this federal jury trial, we protected Twitter Inc. from a patent infringement suit and $40 million damages claim. Virginia-based VS Technologies had obtained a patent for "an interactive virtual community of famous people," and sued Twitter over its virtual community technology. During the six-day trial, we argued that Twitter's Browse Interests feature did not infringe the terms of the patent and that in fact, the patent was invalid. The jury agreed, and found Twitter not liable for patent infringement.
Apple Inc. v. HTC Corp:
We served as lead counsel for HTC, a Taiwan-based manufacturer of handheld devices, in its battle with Apple over smartphone technology. Apple first sued HTC in district court and before the International Trade Commission (ITC), claiming our client had infringed on 20 patents related to various computer-related technologies, including user interfaces, operating systems, power management, and digital signal processing. The ITC hearing that went to decision resulted in a favorable ruling, and HTC obtained a settlement to become the first Android handset maker licensed by Apple.
Genentech, Inc. v. The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania:
On behalf of Genentech, we sought a declaration of non-infringement and invalidity of a University of Pennsylvania patent that purported to cover a specific breast cancer therapy. After a very successful pretrial conference, we were able to negotiate a settlement which greatly benefitted our client.
Chiron Corp. v. Genentech, Inc.:
We represented Genentech, Inc. in a high-stakes patent trial. The plaintiff claimed our client's recombinantly engineered, "humanized" therapeutic for breast cancer infringed on the plaintiff's patent. We obtained a jury verdict invalidating the asserted patent on written description and enablement grounds. The verdict was later affirmed on appeal.
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation v. Semiconductor Company:
We represented a leading semiconductor company in a patent trial brought in the Eastern District of Texas. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) asserted patent infringement claims against more than a dozen of the world's leading technology companies, including our client. CSIRO contended the defendants' Wi-Fi products infringed on CSIRO's patent, and sought nine to ten figure royalty payments. A week into the jury trial, we reached a favorable settlement with CSIRO, and the remaining parties also settled favorably.
Caritas Technologies v. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld our successful defense of a $2.2 billion patent infringement claim against Comcast Cable Communications, LLC. The plaintiff had asserted that Comcast's Digital Voice service infringed on its patents for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.

Re: IPhoto went back to Jan 2011 in response to Salix Helpful
Have you confirmed the problem in iPhoto or just from iWeb and the Media Browser window. If it's only the latter open iPhoto and make sure it is either all OK or missing the photos from Jan 2011.
If it does appear to be missing those photos try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
(This is assuming you're using iPhoto 8 or earlier. If you're using iPhoto 9 let us know)
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
- Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
- Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
- Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
- In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
- Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that doesn't help and you need to use Time Machine go to your Pictures folder and enter Time Machine. Go to yesterday's date, select the library and restore. If you have the space on your hard drive select the option to Keep Both versions just in case the backup isn't good. Then you can go back in time a bit at a time till you get the newer versions (if at all).
I'd try repairing your current library first.

Re: IPhoto went back to Jan 2011 in response to Old Toad
Hello OT
The problem was that I lost IPhoto library (can't imagine how). I've got it back and now my images seem to be back. But I would like to manage IPhoto better, so if there's another option please let me know.
I am using IPhoto version 9, so the command/option open didn't work.
I couldn't load the IP manager as I have OS10.5.8
Thanks so much

Re: IPhoto went back to Jan 2011 in response to Salix
Are you saying you couldn't get the rebuild window to open in iPhoto 9 or that when you did, running it didn't work. With iPhoto 9 (11) this is the window you get:

Nice dive pizza place. The pie is a little thicker than I like but very good. Table service and reasonable prices. They also have pasta and sandwiches.
Hey all just wanted to let all of you know for the traveling Baseball Families and Friends this was a great restaurant to go. This is a family owned Restaurant and they were happy to seat approximately 5 Families with no problem and the Food was just good old fashioned Pizza Pie and Pasta. The owners son who was our...
Our search for a good pizza in Silicon Valley continues. This is not it. Giovanni's offers decent pizza at decent (for this area) prices. I am not a NY pizza fan and don't like burnt crust which Giovanni's often delivers. Other than that, toppings are typical and in decent quantities, cheese is sparse (boo!), and the crust is fine when...
Wow! If it is Italian this restaurant serves it. Not a fancy atmosphere. Just really good food. Loved the Gnochi!
Met colleagues here for lunch. The pizza was decent, but not outstanding - I've had much better elsewhere, even in the Bay Area. Prices are good, particularly considering how expensive the area is. The atmosphere is typical pizza parlor: bare floors, some art on the walls, but nothing that makes it stand out.
I'd be willing to come back, but...
If you are searching for an italian taste in cali this is the Place! Not only pizza (very good), but also great starters, sandwich and meat.
For family style pizza in Silicon Valley, you simply cannot beat Giovanni's. The location is convenient and the restaurant itself is spacious and quite comfortable (NOTE: given notice, they can easily accommodate large parties). The owners are wonderful people, staff is helpful and accommodating, and, most important, the pizza is *very* good and a good value, too. The "Weight Watchers"...
Giovanni's is terrific. Delicious thin crust pizza with just the right amount of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The large side room is great for birthday parties and team get togethers.
Ordered a medium Pepperoni Pizza and a la carte spaghetti and came out to $25.00. Pizza was good but the spaghetti was very average.
The food here is good, and there is a lot of it. We went with a large group and they gave us excellent service.

Restaurant review: Coastal Grill in Oxnard
Oxnard's Coastal Grill is making culinary waves
Coastal Grill at Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach in Oxnard clearly doesn't want diners to forget that they're near a beach in (often) sunny Southern California. The Grill, open to the public for lunch and dinner, offers lobster bisque for a starter, grilled fish sandwiches, fish tacos, fish and chips, grilled salmon and, yes, Simply Fish. The last is a regular on the seasonal menu and features local seafood.

It may sound confusing so look at it like this. If you like a girl and you to haven't known each other very long but you know you are interested and she is too, can she wow you with her sex and seal the deal. Or do you tend to not take her seriously anymore? Lets say you met a guy and y'all have... Show More
Most Helpful Guy
Okay, I understand now where your last question was getting at.
Good sex is good sex. Just like you don't want to date someone who is a bad kisser, you don't want to date someone who is bad at sex. So if he likes everything about you, but wasn't sure about the sex, the sex could have sealed the deal. Needless to say, he should already like you for many other things by now too.
But great sex does not in any situation make a guy like/love/want you less. It's only a good thing. Like guys wondering if they should get a six pack or not-- it's only a good thing.
You can only be too late to have sex with a guy-- not too early. Because he won't have sex with you until he wants to, simple as that. So you can't be too early and f*** the relationship up. You can be too late and f*** the relationship up. A perfect medium will drive him wild for you, yes.. but you still can't ruin the whole relationship just by having sex earlier.
If I've missed a question or you have others, feel free to follow up my answer with comments.
- Show Older Hide Older
Vmw....ok look, sure if you meet a girl and then later that night you f*** the guy would be wary of her being a slut...but if you two have flirted a whole bunch and you know she's really into you...that doesn't make a girl a slut...girls will go after what they want as well as guys...jsut because you are that person they desire doesn't make them a slut...
sex feels different with someone you love and care about...u may not agree but just wait till you find that one person
I believe if a girl has sex that early with a man, before she ACTUALLY knows him...then what stop hers from casually having sex with the next guy that she barely knows. Knowing someone for two weeks...does not mean you actually know him. Which is why most of the guys I know said, they would consider a girl easy, that's easy to get into bed. He didn't have to work for you. You don't have to NOT have sex with him ever, but having sex early doesn't make him love with you. it's lust.

Google Chrome Dev for Debian/Ubuntu
Google Chrome Dev for 32-bit Debian/Ubuntu is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web...
Google Chrome Dev for 32-bit Debian/Ubuntu is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web...
I've been using this laptop for a few days now, and installing Fedora, Manjaro, Debian, Mint, LMDE, and Ubuntu. Here's my report on how it all went.
Three more popular Linux distributions (and one failed attempt), and finally my overall impression and evaluation of my new Acer V5-131
After months of often bitter debate, Ubuntu will follow Debian in using systemd instead of its own Upstart for Linux start-up and shutdown routines.
Going forward, systemd will be Debian's default init system for Linux distributions, an init system soon to be used by every other major Linux distribution other than Ubuntu.
A number of interesting new Linux releases are due out in the next few days or weeks. Here's a quick overview of some of them.
Google Chrome Dev for 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web...
Ubuntu's come a long way from being the popular Debian-based Linux distribution for desktops. So, who uses Ubuntu today and what do they think about where Ubuntu is now and where it's going?
The development team at Linux Mint have announced the release of the LXDE version of Mint 12. The Linux Mint Distributions have two major "branches", one derived from Ubuntu which is designated by a number (currently Mint 12), and the other derived from Debian, which is designated as Mint Debian.
Google Chrome Beta for Linux is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the Web faster, safer,...
There's good news for many, and perhaps bad news for a few, coming for Linux Mint Debian Edition. This has been one of my favorite distributions since it was first released, because it seems to me that it stars from the Debian GNU/Linux base and then adds all of the goodness of Linux Mint, without passing through Ubuntu on the way.
Linux Mint's recent climb to the top of the DistroWatch rankings and strong reactions to Ubuntu's Unity shell have led to speculation that Ubuntu's glory days could be over. We examine these two popular distros to see where they came from, where they stand and where they may be headed.
Recently it was published by DistroWatch that the Linux Mint distribution has passed Ubuntu and is now considered the most popular. In order from most popular on down, this list at DistroWatch starts with Linux Mint, followed by Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and openSUSE.
There's going to be a bit of meandering before I eventually get to the point here, so bear with me, or skip the next few paragraphs to go directly to the "meat" of this post...Six months ago, when Linux Mint Debian was released, I was really excited about it - finally a Debian-based distribution with the quality of Mint and without the baggage of Ubuntu!
Since the release of the Linux Mint Debian Edition distribution last December, and then the Linux Mint Xfce distribution which is also based on Debian rather than Ubuntu, I have found myself moving more and more toward using these Debian-based distributions rather than the Ubuntu-based Mint 11. In a lot of ways these Mint distributions seem to offer a good combination of a solid Debian base, with a choice between the standard 2.
When Ubuntu changed to Grub 2 a couple of releases ago, it became significantly more difficult to set up multi-boot Linux systems. Most if not all Ubuntu derivatives are also using Grub2, and now the latest Debian release also uses it.
People don't notice Debian Linux releases as much as they used to. There's a reason for that, Debian, despite its close relationship to Ubuntu, is becoming irrelevant.
An excellent blog post by Raphael Hertzog entitled "5 reasons why I still contribute to Debian after 12 years". For me, it's inspiring to see the motivation for the OS behind Ubuntu.
A couple of weeks ago Linux Mint announced a new distribution - based on the Debian Testing branch, rather than Ubuntu. Like most users, the announcement took me by surprise, I hadn't even noticed that they were working on such a Distribution.
I just came across a very interesting piece written by Keith Cary Curtis, titled Should Ubuntu Have Been Created. He makes some very interesting and valid points to support his contention that Mark Shuttleworth should have put his money into supporting and expanding the established Debian development effort, rather than creating an independent fork of Debian.
Puredyne 9.10 is a GNU/Linux live distribution for artists based on Ubuntu and Debian Live.
The idea is that non-commercial Linux distributions running on HP hardware can find support, even though it's not officially coming from HP. We're talking about server versions of Asianux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu.
Ubuntu patron and founder, Mark Shuttleworth, has detailed plans for the distribution's April 2010 release, codenamed Lucid Lynx.
