Jury deliberations in the patents phase of the case that Oracle has filed against Google were affected by mundane issues yesterday, when a juror fell ill.
Judge William Alsup sent the jury home early and asked the 11 members - one juror was dismissed a couple of days ago after a traffic delay prevented her from attending an entire day's proceedings - to return the next day.
There was no indication that the jurors are close to a verdict in deciding whether Google violated the two Oracle patents in question.
Oracle has accused Google of copying Java API designs into the APIs of its Android mobile operating system; basing Android class libraries on Java API designs; and copying from Java code into Android code.
It also alleges that Google violated its patents - seven were originally cited, but five were overturned before the trial, and only two are being considered.
According to the legal blog Groklaw, the jurors had two questions to ask of the judge during the day, the first being whether Android's method of initialising an array differed from the method set out in US Patent 6,061,520 (for a method and system for performing static initialisation), one of the two patents in question.
The judge asked the lawyers from either side whether they wanted to argue the point in front of the jurors; when they declined in favour of him providing instructions to the jury, Justice Alsup told the jurors that he could offer no guidance as this was a question that went to the heart of the trial and therefore they had to decide it themselves.
He said that if they were to ask a question specific to one of his instructions, he would usually try to answer it. However the question they had raised was asking if one could take a particular fact as evidence that Android's array initialisation diverges from the patented method.
Justice Alsup said he had previously told the jury what was evidence in this case, and what was not and was not about to repeat himself.
He said the question that the jurors had asked was one that went to the weight of the evidence and how to evaluate it; that was for the jury to decide, and it was not for the court to give them further guidance at this point.
The jury later came in with a request that a portion of the testimony by Stanford University professor John Mitchell, who was an expert witness for Oracle, be read to them. The portion they referred to was about pattern matching versus simulated execution.
The question concerns the same patent as the first question; Google's lawyer Robert Van Nest, in his closing arguments, had pointed out that all expert witnesses had agreed that for violation of this patent to be upheld, every single method it claimed had to be used. He added that Android did not use simulated execution, but rather pattern matching.
While the members of the jury have not exhibited any signs of being technical nous, the judge sprang a surprise earlier in the week by revealing that he was able to code in a number of languages and had been learning bits of Java recently.
Justice Alsup made the disclosure at an unfortunate juncture for Oracle's high-profile lawyer David Boies, as the latter, just prior to this, had been trying to argue that the use of nine lines of code from Java's rangeCheck function would make a big difference to the speed at which Android functioned and that these lines of code were in some way unique.
When Justice Alsup pointed out that he had several times written code similar to rangeCheck and that it would be far easier for someone to write such code than to steal it, Boies was suitably deflated.

SpaceX: Analyzing Two Cracks Ahead Of Launch
Hawthorne-based SpaceX said Tuesday that it is analyzing two small cracks at the end of its 2nd stage, engine nozzle extension, as it decides whether or not it will attempt a launch on Wednesday. The firm--which had planned to launch its demonstration flight for NASA today--detected one of the cracks Monday, and was looking at repairing or replacing the parts. According to SpaceX, it believes the cracks would not cause a flight failure, but is further investigating the issue to ensure that the cracks are not a symptom of a more serious problem with its rocket. SpaceX is poised to launch the demonstration flight for NASA, to test the performance of its Dragon space capsule, designed to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. SpaceX is the commercial rocket firm backed and headed by technology entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk made his fortune at PayPal, and also is head of electric car Tesla Motors.

We Also Recommend
As Hasselblad celebrates its 75th Anniversary our Swedish craftsmanship comes to the fore: driven by our passion for excellence, based on our uncompromising image quality, design and performance and drawing on our core strengths, we present a new chapter in medium format photography.
The all new H6D-50c is the latest generation of our integrated digital camera and has been painstakingly redesigned from the ground up to incorporate the very latest technologies.
50MP CMOS Sensor
When you have a reputation for manufacturing the world's most advanced medium format camera systems there is constant expectation of more to come. The tried and tested 50MP sensor has been further developed with an increased ISO range and performance in data throughput. With close to 14 stops of dynamic range, subtle details are rendered beautifully in crisp, breathtaking detail.
New Electronic Platform
The already compelling case for medium format capture has just become substantially more attractive. The entire electronic platform of the H6D has been redesigned with a fast, new generation processor to handle the advanced features of the camera. This improved speed allows a faster shooting rate of up to 2.5 frames per second that can be sustained for longer, thanks to an increased buffer.
The new 3" high definition rear display boasts touch capability with user customisation options including assigning favourite functions to touch buttons. We've increased the resolution to 920K dots and the image display performance delivers clear, colour accurate image reviews and a pin sharp Liveview experience.
HD Video
Thanks to the redesign of the electronic platform, the H6D-50c is capable of capturing HD (2K) video in both H.264 & Hasselblad's proprietary RAW format which can be converted to Apple ProRes format via Phocus 3.0. Coupled with the HDMI and audio facilities, the capture of high quality video output is simplicity itself.
Phocus 3.0
To complement the release of the H6D camera system, our image processing software has been enhanced with additional tools to allow more precise application of corrections.
USB 3.0 Type-C Connector
We've opted for a USB 3.0 Type-C connector to allow connection to any platform without the need for an adapter. It also delivers very fast transfer rates of more than five times that of Firewire, ensuring tethered liveview or stills capture is an experience to be enjoyed.
Dual Card Slots
We have added a second media card slot to the storage options and updated the card types to offer maximum flexibility. The CFast card slot offers very high speed data transfer rates and is uniquely qualified for use with the high data bandwidths required for HD & UHD video and continuous stills shooting. The industry standard SD card slot ensures very good data transfer rates and wide ranging compatibility with existing card readers.
Mini HDMI & Audio I/O ports
The addition of a mini HDMI port along with the associated input/output ports enables videographers to display the video feed on a larger external monitor for audio and video files. It is also a huge advantage to photographers using liveview to check composition and focus when using a technical camera.
Updated H Series Lenses
To take full advantage of the H6D's new features, we have also updated our entire range of H series lenses and incorporated a new shutter unit with an extended lifespan and an increased top shutter speed of 1/2000th second, when used with an H6D camera. And of course, having a leaf shutter means that flash sync at all speeds is still possible.

Strategies for Handling the Increase in Patient Responsibility
Health plans with high deductibles are the fastest growing type of health insurance in the United States. In 2015, HDHPs made up 85% of all plans sold on the ACA's health insurance exchanges. As a result, your patients' share of financial responsibility continues to increase—and your organization's financial performance depends on your ability to collect it.
Reduce Financial Risk: Tips for Front Office Survival
Your front office staff are the visible face of your practice—and they're also one of the keys to clean claims. Reduce financial risk by staffing the front office with the right staff doing the right things—and using the right tools and strategies to optimize telephone communications, scheduling, registration, patient financial clearance, and time-of-service payments. By doing work right the first time, you can avoid claim denials and revenue delays for your practice.
Speed Up Patient Revenue
High-deductible health plans place a significant burden on medical practices that now must work to simultaneously optimize revenue from both payers and patients. Attend this session to learn how to speed up patient payments and learn best practices in:
Time-of-service collections—what and how to collect from patients
The patient collections cycle—how to reduce time to collections and reduce the cost of patient collections; and

Worker's Compensation Made Easy: How to get paid faster and reduce costs
Manual processing of workers' compensation and auto claims is slow, time-consuming, frustrating—and expensive. Workers' Compensation rules make it harder to streamline your workflow across insurance lines when you're using paper. Paper billing negatively impacts your cash flow due to receivable delays. And manual processing costs are typically 55% higher than electronic costs.
That's why filing electronically can result in an average yearly saving of $23,126 per physician.

Getting a facial is the most caring thing you can do for your face aside from pressing it deeply into the hands of a kindly old man. Refresh your face with this voucher.
Choose from Three Options
- $69 for one 45-minute hydrafacial (a $269 value)
- $49 for one 30-minute diamond-tipped-microdermabrasion treatment (a $100 value)
- $139 for three 30-minute diamond-tipped-microdermabrasion treatments (a $300 value)

The diamond-tipped-microdermabrasion treatment removes dead skin cells and treats fine lines and mild scarring. The hydrafacial removes impurities from pores with cleansing and an acid peel before hydrating skin through a combination of hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.

Lisa's Skin Care
Lisa's Skin Care uses several different exfoliating treatments to remove impurities and imperfections from the skin. Microdermabrasion is the simplest; it sloughs away dead skin cells and other debris using a diamond-tipped wand. More elaborately, hydrafacials follow a 5-step process, removing dirt with peels and extracting blackheads using vortex suction and arcade claws. Antioxidants and hyaluronic acid finish the treatment by nourishing the skin, and daily creams maintain the results.

Botany ISSN Received: 25 /4 /2013 Effect of climate on some morphological and chemical characteristics of the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra L. in two arid regions of southern Algeria ABSTRACT Soulef kriker; Yahia, A. and Nebbache, S. University Mohamed khaider Biskra -Algeria E mail: This study was conducted to determine the impact of environmental factors on the morphological and chemical properties of a medicinal plant belongs to the legume family known as licorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) in two regions of southern Algeria (Tougourt and Biskra). We concluded from this study that the morphological (stem length and leaf area, leaf number) of licorice affected by various climatic factors, particularly the amount of precipitationeze. The temperature and precipitation affect the rate of sugar in the roots, where high temperatures lead to increased perspiration process of the latter, which has an impact on chemical reactions and thus the amount of sugars in the plant. Ultimately, we concluded that environmental factors influence the accumulation of active substances glycoside inside the plant, where Touggourt exclusively against Biskra greater quantity of it (4,53% et1, 96%) successively. Key words: Glycyrrhiza glabra L., active substances, glycoside, sugar, climate. INTRODUCTION In Algeria, the vast space, natural conditions (climate and soil), a large number of plant species that provide medicinal resources particularly rich (Anonymous, 1983). The general term "herb" also covers a wide range of plant from perfectly edible plants real killer that need to be wary all costs (Debuigne and Couplan, 2009). Medicinal plants owe their action one or more active principles that can be chemically analyzed and it is essential to know to understand how they act on the body (BenHamza, 2008). Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) Is a perennial plant of the family Fabaceae, subfamily faboidées to aromatic roots? It is native to southern Europe and Asia (Caёl, 2009). It is a herbaceous plant measuring 1 to 1.5 m high. It has large pinnate leaves composed of 9-17 leaflets small purple flowers arranged in inflorescence. His fruit pod is flat 2 to 3 cm long, containing numerous seeds (Small 2011). The roots and rhizomes of licorice have complex physiological properties from different active ingredients that have been isolated and the chemical structure and the Therapeutic actions are well known (Girre, 2006). Climatic conditions, such as time of day, precipitation and outside temperature, have a significant influence on the physical qualities, chemical and biological medicinal plants (Endrias, 2006). The aim of this work studies the climatic effects on morphology and analysis chemical Glycyrrhiza glabra L.

2 2 Soulef kriker et al. and number of leaves and stem length) comparisons between two zones of Biskra and Touggourt. MATERIAL AND METHODS Introduction to the study area : Our practice has obtained samples of two plants or area are: Oumache and Touggourt. Da Delineation study area Oumache (Biskra) The center is located off Oumache 20 km south of Biskra, and 35 km southeast of Tolga, it covers an area of 828 km2 and 53 so it is the largest town in wilaya of Biskra it is a percentage of 23.27% of the Daira of ourlal and 3.79% surface of wilaya. Delimitation of the study area Touggourt: Touggourt, the historic capital of the region of Oued Righ between the great Erg Eastern and south-eastern area chotts north. Touggourt area is located between latitudes 32 North, 54 and 34, 9 and longitudes 5 and 6 30, 20. altitude is close to 70 m.la total surface area is 481 km2 From an administrative point of view daïra Touggourt currently belongs to the wilaya Ouargla is located 600 km south-east of Algiers in the North Eastern Sahara. (Labed et al. 2011). Determination of soluble sugars Total soluble sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose and their methyl drift polysaccharides) are determined by the method of Dubois and the other by Herbert (1971). Glycoside extraction: When the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra L. is containing glycoside was looking to chemical for this work is the method of (Faouzi, 1979) and (Balbaa, 1981) which is: 10 g of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. Taking (Root) powder and master in alcohol (70%) then in rad capacitor pendant 30 minutes, also repeated three times for each juice samples' qua extracting all glycosides. It can be checked by using Fehling solution (experience of presence glycoside). Filtering the solution and the filtrate was diluted with distilled (common volume) water. To avoid dyes and lipids (fat), alkaloids and other non-metals glycoside. Then add 100 ml of concentrated acetate leads to the subject of sediment is last. By filtration was obtained an alcoholic solution and the glycoside comprises over lead acetate. It can lead acetate removed by sedimentation as lead sulfide and is passed through the sodium phosphate (Na 3 PO 4). One in three filtration th both eliminated lead sulfide and also obtained on the filtrate with adition 20 ml of chloroform (three times) and to justify the extraction of all glycosides can be verified by the sulfuric acid. And there is no easy way to eliminate the soft chloroform method and evaporation is carried out by rotary evaporator. Finally we are at brute.et glycosides calculated performance. The quantitative content of crude glycoside This study a comparison abuts the amount of glycosides in the roots of licorice between two areas, the area Oumache and Touggourt area., and so we designed the effect of temperature and precipitation...ect for this was the established steps preceding schematics glycoside extract were weighed before the ball is empty after
3 Effect of climate on some morphological and chemical characteristics of the plant G. glabra L. 3 the extraction was weighed the ball to the 2nd time deference between the weight is the content of crude glycoside. Note: the weight was repeated several times, and then calculates the average. VI-processing and statistical analysis To determine the significance of the parameter studied applied treatments we conducted analyzes of variance and comparison of means to each treatment using statistical software (MINITAB series ) and present these results in the form of histograms and curves (EXEL). The leaf area per picture Tools (version 3) software we measured. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Results: The climate classification: Diagram Ombrothermic Gaussen: The relationship between seasonal variations of the two main ecological factors, temperature and precipitation, are particularly embodied by the diagrams said Ombrothermic (shadow, rain) (Hadj Youcef and Hamed, 2008). Fig. 1: Diagram of Ombrothermic Gaussen applied to the region Oumache (Biskra) ( ). The climate of Biskra is hot and dry in summer, cold and dry in winter. Fig. 2: Diagram of Ombrothermic Gaussen applied to the region Touggourt ( ). The climate of the region is Touggourt Sahara, as characterized by a long dry season.

5 Effect of climate on some morphological and chemical characteristics of the plant G. glabra L. 5 The analysis of variance shows that there is a significant effect between the two regions Among our results we classified the length of the rod: - The first region: Oumache is higher than the rod length Licorice (42.67 cm). - The second region: Touggourt which is characterized by the small length of rod (40cm). The number of sheets of Licorice: Fig. 6: Histogram of number of sheets of Licorice in two regions Touggourt and Oumache (Biskra). According to the analysis of variance to be found in this study that there is a significant effect between region. Among our results we classified the number of sheets: - The first region: Oumache is higher than the number of leaves (27.33). - The second region: Touggourt which is characterized by the low number of sheets (16,67). Fig. 7: Histogram of leaf surface of Licorice in two regions Touggourt and Oumache(Biskra). The statistical study shows that there is a significant effect between régionsparmi our results were classified surface sheets: - The first region: Oumache is higher than the surface of leaves ( cm ²). - The second region: Touggourt which is characterized by the lower surface sheets (101.9 cm ²).
6 6 Soulef kriker et al. Quantitative content of sugar Licorice: Fig. 8: Histogram analysis dosage of sugar in two regions Touggourt and Oumache (Biskra). Analysis of variance showed a significant effect on the sugar accumulates in Licorice root Among our results we classified the sugar content: - The first region: Touggourt is the high sugar content in the roots (32.20mg / 100 ml). - The second region: Oumache which is characterized by low sugar content (25.57 mg/100 ml). The analysis of variance is to be found in this study that there is a significant effect on the percentage of glycosides in the roots of Licorice. Quantitative content of crude glycoside Licorice: Fig. 9: Histogram percentage of glycosides in two regions Touggourt and Oumache (Biskra). DISCUSSIONS Climatic conditions, such as time of day, precipitation and outside temperature, have a significant influence on the physical, chemical and biological medicinal plants. Sunshine duration, the average height of rainfall, average temperature and thermal amplitude between day and night also influence the physiological and biochemical activity of plants. It is important to predetermine all of these factors (Endrias, 2006). Water is an important agent that acts on the growth of plants in general and medicinal plants included, our limited study of arid and we choose the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra L. It is clear that the length of the rod in the Licorice Oumache station is higher than that of Touggourt. - The number of sheets in the Licorice Oumache station is higher than in Touggourt. - The surface sheet in the Licorice Oumache station is higher that of Touggourt.
7 Effect of climate on some morphological and chemical characteristics of the plant G. glabra L. 7 Vegetation to adapt to their environment to survive and water shortages being the most important limiting factor, desert plants have changes Morphological that enable them to withstand the lack of moisture and long periods of drought. These changes include the following: training stems and fleshy leaves that store water can be stored; disappearance leaves, or reduction of the surface, or thickening of the cuticle to lower transpiration rate (Chopra et al., 1960). A Touggourt during the previous 10 years, according to climate data from this last there was an increase in temperature and a decrease in average precipitation. The temperature has a direct or indirect effect on plant growth. This can increase the interpreted length, the number and the surface sheet Oumache in the area. We propose a second factor that affects plant morphology Liquorice from climatic data was the precipitation rate in the area that Oumache is higher than Touggourt. According CAЁL (2009), includes the Licorice Glucose (up 4%), fructose, maltose, sucrose (2,4-6, 5%). Products of primary metabolism, mainly saccharides, essential the life of the plant, which are formed through photosynthesis is photosynthése.la process by which plants use light energy to manufacture, in part carbon dioxide, the carbohydrates become the primary material of their substance vital. The reaction of photosynthesis allows to penetrate the carbon in the life cycle (Bernard, 1999). The primary metabolism is influenced by several environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, compared with climate data temperature and precipitation between the two regions and Touggourt Oumache, we remark the difference in precipitation. This shows the increase in glucose assay. Touggourt area, and the influence of the high temperature causes the sweating and losing a considerable amount of water that has an effect on metabolism. The active ingredient considered one of the results of the indirect photosynthesis, which has effects of the active ingredients in the plant, we talk about some conditions photosynthesis include temperature and humidity. When talking about the temperature in (Heikal and Abdallah, 1993). The temperature effect on photosynthesis, but also has an effect on the degradation of Chemical compounds and synthetic food, while the construction of any which chemical compound in the plant is based on the total difference between the results of photosynthesis and degradation of these compounds. There is the influence of the active ingredient by the temperature rise more or less increases. In Capsicum annuum L., increasing the temperature augment content of alkaloids kabsine fruit, dry and decreased with temperature. In Datura stramonium L., increasing temperature decreases contains their alkaloid. It appears that the glycosides are more condensed in the station that Touggourt Oumache station of this variability is evidenced by the effect of climatic factors as in Touggourt during previous 10 years, according to climate data Touggourt it Recorded the increase in the temperature and decrease of the average precipitation. (And Mohamed Heikal, 1990) states that plants harvest afternoon contain values glycoside higher compared to plants harvested in the morning. As Glycyrrhiza glabra L. persisted in areas where rainfall is very low and could be grown in many arid regions of mime that Balanites aegyptiaca, which is particularly suitable for places where resistance to séchersse is the limiting factor (Ozenda, 2004). The Licorice glycoside comprises (2-15%) by Ayoub (2008).
8 8 Soulef kriker et al. When talking about the importance of water and its effect on the active ingredient of the plant depending on the type of plant and the active ingredient obtained plant observed Citrullus colocynthus L. the perm irrigation increases the active ingredient contains water and decreases contains their glycoside as in Coriadandrun sativun L. The rate of essential oils increase in climate in wet areas (Mohamed and Tahani 1990). What can interprets the dimunition of glycoside in the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra L. In the region Oumache. as decreasing temperature and the increase in from moisture and precipitation permetent increased water contains in the plant and cause dimuniation of them contains glycoside. CONCLUSION The analysis of climate data and the use of diagram Ombrothermic Gaussen, show a simple difference between the climate in two zones, the temperature is the same in both regions, but the precipitation is different; Oumache is than Touggourt, these results confirm the effect on climate change morphological in quantities of glucose and glycoside Licorice root.

"The Challenge to Change" (video)
Did you Know?
In Indiana alone, over 2,000 female offenders are in the prison system on any given day. More than 400 are staying in the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis.
Research shows that over 80 percent of inmates are mothers, and the number of children impacted by a parent's incarceration is skyrocketing.
Due to the great need for a facility like Craine House, we are often faced with a wait-list, and turning away applicants due to space issues.
Serving all Indiana residents Craine House works extensively with the Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC) and we accept qualified moms and children from counties all over the state. Craine House opens its doors to all Indiana residents – all of Indiana benefits from our programs and outreach.
The "Conviction Box"
Ban the Box: Employment Applications and the "Conviction Box"
Our recovering economy added a robust 288,000 jobs in April. For many this is a good sign, but for those with a criminal background, no matter whether they have redeemed themselves, a "no" from a prospective employer is an almost certainty when asked, "do you have any kind of criminal record?"
What can a person do once they have served their sentence, fulfilled their obligation to society for their mistake and want to re-enter their community honestly and work once more? Click here to learn about how our cities and states are "moving to ban the conviction box."

Customized Weather Girl McNeely/Lorello by arcadian7Watch
©2012-2017 arcadian7
I'm admittedly very proud with the way the paint job on this gal turned out. Shawn did a nice job customizing this Breyer Weather Girl model giving her a new mane, tail and adjustments to her face. I've added a rather difficult paint job depicting a chestnut going grey - it took some time just studying pictures online of this particular color and I hope Shawn likes the result as she ships out to her today.
The colour is perfect. I can't even imagine how long that must have taken you.
Great job!
Great job!
just got word that this piece took champ in both breed and workmanship at a live show this weekend! WOO HOO!!!!
Beautiful Airbrushed?
Wow must have taken you ages. Looks like it's been etched too? Or have you just painted the hair in? (Hard to tell in the photo)
she's all hand painted. I started with a base color in acrylics, then added some chestnut smudging with pastel dust, then it was a ton of ticking for each individual hair with a special reservoir brush a fellow artist turned me on to. It took me about six months just studying the color from reference images and trying to "feel" the color before I actually started in on it - and that did take quite a bit of time to accomplish. I should get some close ups posted.
that is pretty awesome right there!
