What about hiccups in infants and babies?
As in adults, hiccups in newborns, infants, and babies are common and generally nothing to worry about. If hiccups occur during feeding, stop feeding until the hiccups go away. Usually the hiccups will "go away" in an infant or baby. You may try changing the position of the infant or baby, try to get your baby to burp, or calming him/her down to cure the hiccups. Sometimes resuming feeding will stop the hiccups. If your baby frequently hiccups during feedings, feed your baby when he's already relaxed, and is not overly hungry yet.
If your child's hiccups worsen or they seem to upset him, contact your pediatrician. Continue Reading

Really disappointed with the Travel Lodge. The hotel needs updating. The room was clean but is clearly in need of refurbishment. Would not book Travel Lodge in America again.
Very convenient location with a short walk into the town. The couple running the hotel were very helpful and gave us lots of tips on things to see. Thank you for your kindness.
We used motel as a one night stop over. A great pub with food and local beer located a couple of doors up. The motel was a bit tired and complimentary breakfast was non-existent. However the room was clean and beds comfortable and its all that we really needed. Also staff were extremely welcoming and good motel for the price.
comfortable stay staff helpful
Bed bugs!!!!!

FOXBORO — Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler has a base salary of $600,000 this season and will be a restricted free agent after the year is over.
This makes his contract a story as the Patriots could have looked to sign him to an extension this past offseason, along with other young defensive stars Jamie Collins and Dont'a Hightower, both of whom will be unrestricted free agents after the season.
As has been the case in the past whenever it's come up, Butler hasn't wanted to get into it.
"It is what it is, man," Butler said after Thursday's session. "Just playing ball, doing what I have to do. Doing my thing. Doing my job. Control only what I can control so it is what it is."
Butler will be in his second season as the Patriots' No. 1 cornerback and in his third year as a pro, he's still looking to get better.
"I just want to stay at the top, man," Butler said. "Aim towards the top. Do better than what I did last year. Each and every year I sure that is what everyone's goal is. I set my standards high. This team sets their standards high so can't do nothing but go up."
In just his first season as a starter, Butler got matched up against the opponents' top receiver each week, which is a challenge he relishes and likely will be asked to do again this season.
"I love going against the best," Butler said. "Everyone does."

FOXBORO — For the first time since Dec. 13 of last year, LeGarrette Blount was back on the field with his Patriots teammates.
After the Patriots' win over the Texans, Blount was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a hip injury. He missed all of the spring practices, but was back participating on Thursday, the first day of training camp.
"It's great," Blount said of getting back on the field. "It's a wonderful feeling to just be out here and blessed to be out here with these guys — sweating, hot and just being able to be able to come out here and work with them."
While he's back on the field, it doesn't appear the 29-year-old will be going full-tilt, at least for the time being.
"We're taking it day-by-day," he said. "Good enough to go out there and participate in practice and all activities."
Blount participated in all the drills on Thursday, but it's worth noting it was the first day of camp and the team will not be in full pads until Saturday. It won't be until then where there will be a true sense of exactly where he's at in regards to being full strength.
As it relates to the running back group, they may be asked to do a bit more than in the past, especially in the first four games to take some weight off of Jimmy Garoppolo's shoulders. Blount isn't thinking about that as he's just worried about himself.
"Me personally, that's the only thing I am worried about is me," he said. "What I can do to contribute and what I can do to help the team do whatever we need to do to win games."
Last year Blount had 20 or more carries in just one game and that could potentially change over Weeks 1-4 if the team goes to more of a ground-based attack.
"I'm going to do whatever Bill [Belichick] needs me to do to make sure we're successful," he said.
Blount leads a running back group that includes Dion Lewis, James White, Donald Brown and Tyler Gaffney.
While the Patriots will practice Friday despite heavy rain in the forecast, the team is warning fans the session could be moved inside to the Enpower Field House, which would mean it would be closed to the public.
Here is the complete announcement:
The forecast for Friday, July 29 is calling for rain, heavy at times, with a chance of thunderstorms. While the team plans on practicing as scheduled from 9:15-11:30 a.m. on the training camp practice fields behind Gillette Stadium, we would like to warn any fans planning to attend that thunderstorms could force the team to practice inside their Empower Field House at a moment's notice. Due to space limitations, indoor practices will be closed to the public. Any updates or changes to the practice schedule will be posted on patriots.com/training camp and on the training camp information line at 508-549-0001.
FOXBORO — Nothing appeared to be wrong with Patriots safety Duron Harmon at the end of last season, but the Rutgers product missed all of the spring practices open to the media and then wore a red, non-contact jersey for the first training camp session on Thursday.
After the session, Harmon was asked what kept him away from the field in the spring and why he's in the red, non-contact jersey now.
"It was something just cleaning it up and taking care of some things — minor problems, but I'm all set now," he said.
Harmon appeared fine on the field, moving around well and not showing any signs of an injury. He hopes to get rid of the non-contact jersey soon.
"I'm not sure. I'm just do what I am told," Harmon said. "It was in my locker, so I put it on. Hopefully soon, or whenever they take it off so I can just be out here ready to go."
Another member of the secondary — cornerback Logan Ryan — like Harmon missed all of the spring practices and had a red, non-contact jersey on Thursday as well. It's unclear why he was kept out during the spring.
Harmon and Ryan are part of an experienced secondary, who have played together for several years now. Harmon was excited to get back on the field with them and start working towards getting ready for the season.
In his three years in the league, Harmon has a total of six interceptions.
"It's good. It's good to come out here and build on the comradery," Harmon said. "Just being together and trying to build each day to a common goal. It feels good just to be out here with them. The ceiling, we don't really know what the ceiling is. All we can do is just come out here, get better and see how good we can be throughout the season."
FOXBORO — When taking attendance at the first Patriots training camp practice, it was strange seeing a No. 43 jersey on the field considering Nate Ebner is off preparing with the U.S. Rugby team for the upcoming Summer Olympics.
Ebner wasn't back with the Patriots, instead it was special teams captain Matthew Slater showing his support for his fellow core special-teamer.
"I have a lot of respect for that guy," Slater said. "I wanted to show him a little love today. This is supporting him as he chases his dream."
Added Slater: "He might be a little bit surprised. I didn't give him the heads-up. Hopefully he doesn't get mad I had his jersey on."
Even though Ebner hasn't been able to be at Gillette Stadium with the rest of his team, Slater has made sure to keep him up to speed with what he's missed.
"He's living his dream, and not a lot of people get that opportunity to be an Olympian," Slater said. "I gave him the install from (Wednesday). He knows what we did (Thursday morning). I'm sure I'll give him the install (Thursday night). We know when he comes back here, he'll be all-in here, but he needs to focus on what he's doing now, and we understand that."
It's likely Ebner returns in the middle of August and he's expected to be ready for the 2016 season. The entire team is pulling for him to bring back a gold medal.
"It's unbelievable," tight end Rob Gronkowski said. "He's a great worker, hard worker, Nate Ebner. Always on top of his game out here. I know he played rugby before he came to the NFL, so huge props to him. Amazing accomplishment, and best of luck to him. Hopefully he brings home that gold and then (rejoins) our team. That would be awesome."

From solo to social information foraging theory
Conferences & Talks
CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute Seminar Series
29 October 2008
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Information Foraging Theory is a theory of human-information interaction that aims to explain and predict how people will best shape themselves to their information environments, and how information environments can best be shaped to people. The approach involves a kind of reverse engineering in which the analyst asks (a) what is the nature of the task and information environments, (b) why is a given system a good solution to the problem, and (c) how is that "ideal" solution realized (approximated) by mechanism. Typically, the key steps in developing a model of information foraging involve: (a) a rational analysis of the task and information environment (often drawing on optimal foraging theory from biology) and (b) a computational production system model of the cognitive structure of task. I will review work on individual information seeking, as well as out more recent studies of the social production, sharing, and use of information in areas such as wikis, social tagging, social network sites, and social search.

At least four top executives at Penn West (PWE) are heading for the exit door, apparently paying the price for steep Q3 losses. PWE gives no reason for the departures, but they come just days after reporting hedging losses and a lower production forecast for the year due to wet weather and plant outages. PWE -0.7% premarket.

Sadly, the wheels appear to be coming off this one. Shares have lost about a third of their value in the past few days. Company has not earned its cost of capital for about five years, according to Morningstar. They have $3.2 billion in long term debt, and another $3 billion in "current liabilities", including an item called "deferred income tax" of $1.2 billion, for a grand total of over $6 billion in liabilities (according to the FT website). Unfortunately, some folks are still attracted to the shares for their stated dividend. Clearly, the dividend is at great risk. They have assets on the block to reduce their debt but the company is not revealing the exact status of any possible sales.
Here here. This one is an avoid for me. Stock will probably come under heavy tax loss selling pressure for the rest of this year and my guess is the CEO is next to go....if that happens I would suggest the dividend is in big trouble. Somewhat surprised that Foulkes got her walking papers??? Didn't Nunns describe her as a "wizard" of the industry???

Battle of the Sexes: In the Battle of the Sexes, the men were two-for-two. Katherine "Katie" Karzola lost to the all-male Mob, and the remaining 39 split $50,000. Jason Luda then defeated all 100 members of the all-female Mob to win one million dollars.
Big Winner: Jason Luda, a 21-year-old from San Diego, CA who has never had a girlfriend or even gone on a date in this life before is 1 vs. 100's first million dollar winner. The final question he faced asked which holiday is the biggest when it comes to giving cards. The answer choices were A.) Christmas, B.) Mother's Day and C.) Valentine's Day. After reasoning it out, Jason decided to lock in which A.) Christmas. Before revealing whether this answer was correct, Bob Saget revealed that all fifteen of the remaining members in the all female Mob had answered incorrectly. He then revealed that Jason had indeed chosen the correct answer and was the show's first million dollar winner. Asked for his reaction, Jason commented that it hadn't even really hit him yet.
Big Money: This season features a new money ladder and a new mechanism for how the money is won. Gone is the format of the previous season where the only big dollar amount was a million dollars (which nobody won in that season) and the most anyone could win below that was around $200,000 to $300,000. The new dollar ladder is as follows: $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $250,000, $500,000 and finally one million dollars. Money is no longer added for each Mob Member eliminated. Instead, a milestone is reached each time ten Mob Members are eliminated. As always, the contestant may choose to take the money instead of the Mob, but only before seeing the next question. If at any time they answer a question incorrectly, the money they've won to that point is split among the remaining Mob Members who answered that question correctly.
Mob Money: This feature replaced the "You vs. 100" play-along-at-home mechanism seen in the first season of the show. The objective of this game was for the viewer to choose from three choices how many Mob members got the answer to a particular question wrong. This episode's Mob Money question asked "What color is at the bottom of the traffic light?" The number of Mob members that got it wrong was one of these three choices:
The correct answer was that 19 Mob members got it wrong. Norma G. of Purhamville, Kentucky was this episode's Mob Money winner.
Bob: You've just won one million dollars on 1 vs. 100. Our first one million dollar winner ever, Jason. Jason, how do you feel now?
Jason: I don't think it's really hit me yet.
Bob: If you're not right, you walk away with nothing, but maybe some phone numbers because you've been very charming.
Jason: I'm just going to go with margarita and lose and get it over with. A.), I'm locking it in.
Bob: What happens at 1 vs. 100 stays at 1 vs. 100.
Bob: What would you do if you won a million bucks here?
Jason: I suppose I'd try buying a girlfriend if that's possible.
Katie: Four and six seem the same to me. People are screaming right now.
Bob: No, no one's really doing anything.
Katie: But on the inside they are.
Katie: Prime number. Oh my God, this is like second grade and I can't remember.
Bob: Let's meet the woman brave enough to face all this testosterone.
Announcer: Who will reign supreme in the Battle of the Sexes? Tonight on 1 vs. 100!
Announcer: We've got a massive new set and an all new money ladder that will have contestants taking risks like never before.
(During a help, Bob speaking to a Mob member about her answer)
Bob Saget: And why did you choose that?
Mob Member 37: Well, they all sounded really sexual, and I felt that was the least sexual.
Bob Saget: Okay, so you chose 'The Grab and Thrust.'
The second season was originally going to begin with the regular season, but was later held to air as a mid-season replacement.

BERLIN Greece is delivering on tough economic reforms and its European partners are providing support, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said on Tuesday during a visit to Germany.
"The glass is half-full. We are delivering and Europe is helping," he told reporters ahead of talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin where they were also both due to attend an economic conference.
Germany, Europe's paymaster, has praised the efforts of Samaras' government to push through tough austerity measures aimed at cutting Greece's heavy debt load.

BOWLING STANDINGS/Movers and Shakers enjoy pace of Thursday league
By LISA STANFILL
Wednesday, February 6, 2013 12:00 AM
This week's featured team, Movers and Shakers, are all retired and spending their time wisely ... bowling!
Members Ed Belk, wife Janice, Nancy Dennis, and Mike Simpson enjoy bowling together at different centers.
Ed is retired from the Air Force/Civil Service. He remembers as a teenager bowling for fun with his buddies back when Philadelphia had a center where In Sports Inc. is now located. He began men's league bowling in the early 1970s while stationed at Keesler AFB in Biloxi. He continued the men's leagues while at Bolling AFB in Washington, D.C. and Dixie Bowl (now Family Bowl) in Meridian. Now Ed is fortunate to be on his first mixed league with his better half Ms. Janice. He enjoys the mixed league for the "not as cutthroat" and family oriented atmosphere as well as being something spouses can do together.
Janice taught school 18 years at NCHS, 2 years in Maryland, and 5 years in Forest before retiring. Like Ed, she recalls open bowling at a facility now occupied by In Sports Inc. and being on a women's league at a center where Prince Oil is now located. Bowling off and on for a long time, she attributes her continued interest to her husband. Janice enthusiastically remembers a tournament in Pascagoula where she bowled her first 200 game. She hasn't had any more until her league participation here at Depot Bowling. She enjoys this sport and Thursday's league for the fun she has and the chance to "meet a lot of good people thought bowling."
Nancy is retired from JP Morgan Chase Bank. Three years ago she began open bowling on the Navy base with her husband Harold and her teammates. Last season she, Harold, Nancy, Ed, and Mike began bowling on the Lunch League on Tuesday's at McCain Lanes on NAS, Meridian. This fall she joined the Thursday Adult League because of encouragement and peer pressure.
"I was up there watching anyway," she said.
Although she says she is not a great bowler, she enjoys bowling on the leagues because of the friendly people and spending time with her friends. And we all enjoy her!
Mike is a retired systems analyst with Hinds Co. He began bowling in the mid 80's while in Houston, Texas. He was part of a Men's League with his co-workers. Up until six months ago, he was bowling with the first ball he ever owned. He started bowling at McCain Lanes and Depot Bowling because of Ed and Janice. "They talk me into a lot of things," he says laughingly. Mike likes league bowling because he meets new and friendly people and it's something enjoyable.
Rocket bowlers win
Way to go Rockets! Once again the match between Neshoba Central and Starkville was a success. A big thank you goes out to all who came out to cheer on the home team. The team is proud to know they have the support of friends, family, and the community. They also thank those who were unable to attend but were wishing them the best of luck "in spirit."
The Rockets were honored for the second time to have Neshoba Central High School's Chorus and NJROTC Color Guard present to open the competition. Chief Keith Page began the event with the introduction of the cadets and the chorus member. Cadets presenting the colors were Andrew Moore, Dylan Hill, Lauren Hancock, and Tyler Monk. Singing the National Anthem a cappella was Ben Pace. Thank you all for the amazing job you did. I don't know about others, but I am always overcome with emotion to see our young men and women take such pride in representing our great country and hear our National Anthem sung by such a wonderful voice. Thank you Chief Page for staying to support our athletes. We hope you enjoyed the experience.
Louis Montesi III, the Sports Anchor/Reporter from WTOK, came to do a feature on Neshoba Central's newest sport. The segment aired February 1. He interviewed Mr. Blount, Devin Skinner, and Marissa Stanfill. He got footage of the bowlers enjoying their sport and the competition. Thank you Mr. Louis for taking the time and showing an interest in the new sport that will hopefully grow throughout the state.
Finally, congratulations to the Rockets for their victory over the Bulldogs. The boys won 4-2 and the girls 5-1. Also, a big shout out to you all for your great sportsmanship and hospitality you show toward opposing teams. You are all a great group of young men and women. This concludes the matches for the season. Now it's on to the Regionals in Tupelo at Rebelanes on Saturday at 10 a.m. Hope many can make plans to travel north to support this hard working team. Good luck, good bowling, and enjoy the experience!

Soft-input/soft-output symbol decoding plays a significant role in iterative decoding. We propose a simple optimal soft-input/soft-output symbol decoding algorithm for linear block codes which requires one forward recursion using a trellis. For many codes the decoding complexity is lower than previous methods, such as the algorithm by Bahl et al. (1974), and the decrease is shown at its most when decoding Hamming codes

Things I would have changed: Nothing
What others should know: If you have a pistol that uses C11 mags do not put them in your up left set of mag pouches. I thought my mag would be fine there and they where easy to get at. However, they can slip out. Because of my own stupidity I lost 3 mags. Use the pistol mag pouches along the belt.

Do these Award Winning Designs Infringe Patents?
An interesting discussion between KK, the designer of the Chronotebook, and Scott a designer cum patent agent, has highlighted a potentially huge problem with concept design awards such as Muji Awards 02 and Red-Dot Concept.
Should the awards jury conduct patent searches on the winning products? And if a winning product is found to infringe a patent what happens then? This problem can only multiply as, in the recent years, there have been a huge growth in numbers of such awards, so much so you could enter one almost every month! Fortunately as I know KK personally, I do not doubt his integrity or his design ability to independently come up with a similar concept.
Out of curiosity, I have posted the images of the award winning designs and the supposed patents they infringe. After the images, you can find a quote of Scott's well articulated discription on what does or does not infringe a patent so that you have it all in one convenient place. Do take study the images and the links to the patent descriptions, as I am interested to know your opinions on this matter?
Muji Award 02 Gold Prize: Towel with Further Options
By: NIIMI [Takuya Niimi/Yuki Niimi] (Japan)
Patent 5004637: Sanitary tearing towel
By: Chuen-Rong Liao
Muji Award 02 Judges' Prize: Chronotebook

Patent 6593942: Event programming guide
By: Dennis Bushmitch et al
First, let's take a look at your daily planner. From a patent point of view, you may be able to capture some patent protection on some specific features, such as the daytime and nighttime indicators, but since the concept of using the graphic of a clock to graphically convey information about the analog clock is shown in the prior art (the '942 patent), you will have a heck of a time getting meaningful utility patent protection for this item.
To get a patent, the invention has to meet three basic criteria – novelty (is it new), utility (does it have a use) and nonobviousness. This last one catches many wannabee inventions. Your invention could be considered "new" in that no one has applied the above concept to paper-versions of daily planners and it does have utility, but in my opinion, much of what you show would be obvious in view of the '942 patent (which uses an analog clock graphic to convey information that relates to particular times about the clock). The fact that the '942 conveys this information electronically on a screen doesn't matter since the concept is shown and also because paper media is strongly connected to electronic displays since the latter followed directly from the former as a means of replacing many of the things we used to do with the former.
Also, clocks are known to be made from chalkboard so that the user can write appointment information directly on the surface in the same way, using the clock graphic as a means of conveying the event about the clock (I'll send you an example of this to your email).
With regards to the towel, I respect the "spirit" of the design, but the patent office looks at structure of an invention and what a patent specification teaches to one of ordinary skill in the art. In this case, the prior art teaches that a towel may be made with a tear-line so that a user can tear off a piece of towel. Even if the inventor states a different reasone why the user should tear it off (because one section has been used and should be thrown away), it doesn't matter since both towels include guide lines or tear lines meant to remove one section of the towel from the larger towel. The structure is similar. The fact that the MUJI version offers only guidelines instead of pre-cut lines could be patentable since the strength of the towel is not compromised and also, the MUJI towel provides reinforcement along those guide lines so cuts won't fray. My point here is that the concept of doing this is known, the finer details may be new.
Interesting food for thought on your next project eh? It is for me, as this has kept me awake to 2.51 am!

I guess it is about best efforts… I've had most of my more radical ideas shot down at the ideas, feasibility and capability stage but we have to try and change the world even if we don't expect to get credit for it!

Jim, I misread your earlier comment regarding who was to perform due-diligence for their work. I agree with you that this would be more economical, but I would not trust the designer's efforts. As I thought more, I now share your apprehension to let designers judge the work of their peers.
. 8 years ago
It's funny that at this very moment (at 3:13am in CA), I'm writing a patent application for a very big company (medical-devices) and the invention is sooooo subtle in view of the prior art, yet I see the benefits of this subtle advance and I have no doubt that the company will profit by getting a jump over its competition. There is always an advance to be made, no matter how crowded the art is.
Designers may claim originality for their ideas, but we all know that designers constantly review the designs of others – we have to… for inspiration. I know that when I design something that I believe is really fresh, I'm sometimes sadly surprised when I come across my "inspiration" when I review an old design yearbook and see the similarities of a prior work. When this happens, I'm humbled.
DT, to your comment #2, patents protect innovation and if the chonotebook includes innovative features that were not considered in the prior art, then it is likely that Kok could get a patent on it, if he wishes and could argue patentability over the prior art. The patent system (in the US) does allow the inventor 20 years from filing an exclusive run of his or her invention, but they have to pay what are called maintenance fees every four years (a kind of rent) and if they fail, the patent is then free to use by anyone, but again this is an issue of infringement.
The question I've been concerned with is novelty. In the US, we had a show called American Inventor wherein inventors pitched their ideas to judges. As they pitched each idea, I conducted a 3 minute search on my computer and found strong references for at least 90% of them, including the finalists and they all thought their idea was completely new and the less-informed viewers no doubt blindly offered them their respective claims of novelty.
I still think that designers should only get credit for their input, their advance or improvement or combination of known features. As an example for discussion, let's say I designed a wall-mounted DVD player that one could proudly display next to their wall-mounted plasma TV. My design was very clean and MOMA-esque and included a power cord that the user could pull to adjust the volume. I decided to not include a cover in my design and allowed the spinning DVD to be in full view (very MOMA). During a design competition, if I win, should I get full credit in the industry for the concept of a wall-mounted DISC player that includes an exposed spinning disc and an interactive power cord? Or should I offer credit to Naoto Fukasawa for creating the concept of a wall-mounted CD player having an exposed disc and an interactive power cord and thereafter humbly accept my small advance of providing basically his idea in a DVD format with volume adjust instead of on/off. I could say, ah, but my design is completely different because I was thinking DVD, not CD and I was thinking volume control, not power control.
When we put up the inspiration behind a designer's work, sometimes his shinny work can becomes pretty dull. If I put up Naoto's beautiful CD player next to mine, I would be embarrassed to accept an award.
Do you really think the MUJI 2007 winner of a plastic nested coat hanger is the FIRST of its kind? That no one else has ever thought of actually nesting plastic hangers? Yet we are led to think that by MUJI giving that person the award without footnotes. What if I come up with the same idea as Kok's Chronotebook, but my design was in the form of a pad of POST-ITs and I truly have never seen Kok's version, should I win an award 5 years from now that claims the full concept behind KOK's idea…and should he get full credit even though the concept is was shown to be used in TV scheduling years earlier?
I do agree with your statement that making the good ideas work in the real world is what matters.
Good discussion – now I have to get back to this patent application.
. 8 years ago
Hi All, this is a fantastic discussion! Don't mind me, I'm just observing and listening on the sidelines. Please carry on!
Some of my thoughts to add to this conversation:
1) The whole idea of "there is no such thing as a truly original design" seems to hold true these days. I do not doubt the possibility of designers, through their own inspiration and conclusions, are able come up with something very similar to an existing patent. There are just so many people in the world, that there are things that bound to come up the same. However, if a design is based on "prior art" I believe credit should be given when credit is due. However what if the development is truly independent, should reference be given just because this person came first, when it could be conceivable that to separate parties from the other side of the world stumbled over the same idea? Honestly as a person who values ideas, I don't think so. Then again I tend to see the good in everyone and never consider anyone "stealing" from someone else. As all of us know as designers, there is a lot more that goes into making a successful product then just an idea or patent. As it is many patents never see commercialization or the light of day. Everybody has good ideas, the making them work in the real world that matters.
2) This leads me to my next thought. Perhaps we should remove the idea of patents? Seems to me there could be instances of companies or designers discard ideas similar to patents when they could have been perfect in a different context that the original patent owner did not think about. For example the Chronotebook? Perhaps, there should be an avenue of say a 5 year shelf life for the owner to develop the idea, after which it becomes "Creative Commons" and a designer just need to search and reference if required. This is very similar to what post-grade students and academics do before they write their thesis, a literature search. However at this time I am undecided if doing a search of "prior art" is effective during the creative phase in a design program.

I agree with you about the resources needed to check which is why asking the submitting organisation to show they've done the work is an economic and effective requirement!
I am very nervous of designers judging work; I have only been on panels with practising designers in a minority.. if significant innovation is to change the world of the consumer/user then is the designer's world changed in the same way?

Restructuring Advisers Flock to Brazil
In late January, Brazil President Dilma Rousseff made her inaugural appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, amid a campaign to reverse the country's economic slowdown.
"Brazil needs and wants a partnership with private investment," she said.
One group has heeded President Rousseff's call: Restructuring lawyers and turnaround professionals are boosting teams and seeking partners in Brazil as the number of troubled companies in the country grows.
Some investment banks, such as Lazard and Rothschild, already have offices in Sao Paulo. Meanwhile, bankers from Houlihan Lokey and Jefferies Group Inc. have traveled to Brazil in recent months in hopes of developing deals and finding partners, people familiar with the matter said.
Investment firm Blackstone Group, which has a large corporate restructuring arm, has a joint-venture relationship with boutique investment bank Patria Investments. It also has a 40% stake in the bank. Blackstone snagged a key role advising OGX on its debt restructuring, along with Lazard.
Consulting firm AlixPartners has a group of its restructuring executives working on matters related to EBX, the holding company for Mr. Batista's firm. Alvarez & Marsal, another turnaround firm, said its clients in the region jumped about 35% in 2013 compared to 2012, and expects an increase in clients facing distress in 2014 as well.
FTI Consulting's Sam Aguirre said he moved to Brazil 18 months ago because he foresaw a wave of corporate restructuring following the weakening of its economy. This year, he said, FTI is working on twice the number of restructuring cases it was a year ago.
"Brazil today offers a tremendous opportunity for corporate restructuring specialized firms," Mr. Aguirre said.
A number of law firms are also spending more time on the region and in some cases working with local firms. Partners from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and Paul Hastings, among others, are working with their lawyers based on the ground who are also well versed in Brazilian insolvency law.
Restructuring advisers say they often connect with lawyers from Brazil-based firms, particularly Pinheiro Neto Advogados and Pinheiro Guimarães, who have a good understanding of developing situations and have experience working with Brazil's insolvency law.

Volkswagen Says Macht Leaving Post as Head of Production
Volkswagen AG, Europe's biggest carmaker, said Michael Macht is stepping down as its head of production amid the manufacturer's effort to increase profitability at its namesake brand.
Macht, 53, is leaving the management-board post immediately on mutual agreement, and will be succeeded on an interim basis by Thomas Ulbrich, who runs carmaking at the VW nameplate, Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen said in a statement today. Macht took the position four years ago after working since 1990 for Porsche AG, the Stuttgart, Germany-based sports-car producer that has been part of the group since 2009.
"Michael Macht has taken the Volkswagen production system further forward," Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn said in the statement. "We would like to thank him for his achievements."
Winterkorn laid out plans last month to cut costs by 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) through 2017 at the Volkswagen brand to catch up with the competition. Second-quarter earnings before interest and taxes fell 3.1 percent, dragged down by a 37 percent plunge at the namesake brand. The CEO is shifting focus to profitability after emphasizing growth in deliveries in his strategy to outpace Toyota Motor Corp. as the world's biggest carmaker by sales.

On Windows, I have a C# assembly that is COM visible. It references other assemblies to control an application in the machine. It works fine.
However, under Apache Web Server and using CGI, it doesn't work. After doing some debuging, I found out that the problem is that, while running under Apache's CGI, the environment variables SYSTEMROOT and SYSTEMDRIVE, which aparently are needed by the referenced assemblies, are not loaded.
I can configure Apache to pass those environemtn variables too, but before doing so, I'd really like to know if there's some command I can put on my C# COM visible assembly to make it load environment variables as if it was, let's say, the SYSTEM user or something like that, so it doesn't have to relay on the environment passed by the starting application.
How do you force loading an existent system environment variable in C#, when IT IS NOT SET in the current process (or it was process-deleted by the launching process)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
EDIT 1 - ADDED INFO: Just to make it more clear (as I see in the current answers it's not so clear): Apache intendedly deletes a lot of environment variables for CGI processes. It's not that Apache cannot see them, it can, but it won't pass them to CGI processes.

Nokia — poor service
38 Reviews
KaKanuj Sharma on Dec 29, 2011
This is to bring to your kind notice the product support service provided by nokia though its nokia care center dosn't go at all with the brand name of "NOKIA" for what the company is known worldwide.The incidence that happens with me 2 dayz back and force me to use such a harsh language and write this mail was.I had given my Nokia C5 to nokia service center faridabad NIT branch to resolve mh problem regarding speaker and at the time of the delivery i had clearly told teh executive that don upadte the software and it will cause me the loss of all the data and force him to mention that in the job card.Bt at teh time of the delivery of the phone i was in sate of shock when i operate my phone reason for that was that my phone was PARALAYSED & SOFTWARED WAS COMPLETELY FORMATTED l of mhh data and contacts was deleted and no one at the service center was ready to lend an ear to my complaint, listen to my query. This kind of service and dealing with costumer is totally unexpected and unacceptable and creating a wrong image of NOKIA. and Even though nobody was ready to make an apology for the mistake.so i want a written "APOLOGY" from nokia for the problem i had face because of the negligence of the nokia care service center.and Also ensure that such problems do not creep up in future and that our faith in Nokia remains undaunted.
please find the job card and job slip for your ready reference

AbstractAculight proposes to develop a compact, fieldable instrument which can make direct measurements of aerosol absorption at the wavelengths 1.04, 1.6 and 2.1 microns. The instrument will be capable of measurement of absorption levels as low as 10-9 cm-1. The device will be based upon the use of fiber lasers and a novel photo acoustic detection technique which is immune to background acoustic noise. The sensing technique does not require precise optical misalignment, and the use of fiber lasers will make the optical excitation source highly rugged. Since the sensor will provide a direct measurement of aerosol absorption rather than a difference between extinction and scattering, the measurement will provide data which enhances understanding of thermal blooming which affects high power laser propagation in a maritime atmosphere.
