6 cans white beans, drained
2 cans Ro-Tel tomatoes
2 medium onions, finely chopped
4 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 teaspoons cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 to 6 cans chicken broth
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Add enough chicken broth to fill to the top. Cook on low all day.
Note: Betty Black purees 3 cans of white beans in the food processor. She also uses a bag of frozen onions (instead of 2 medium) and processes them until fine while still frozen.
Girdle-Buster Cake
1 white or yellow cake mix
16-ounce can Hershey's chocolate syrup
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
16-ounce container Cool Whip
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Bake cake in a 9×13-inch pan according to the directions on the box. While the cake is baking, stir together chocolate syrup and condensed milk in a bowl.
Remove cake from oven. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke many deep holes in the cake and pour the syrup-milk mixture over the top. Leave the cake in the pan and cool completely.
Frost with Cool Whip. To garnish, process chocolate chips in a food processor for about 10 seconds or until chocolate is powdery. Sprinkle chocolate over cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve from the pan, using a large spoon.
Baby Food Cake
2 cups sugar
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil

2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
5 to 6 cups all purpose flour
1 package quick rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat oil and milk to 125 degrees. Put all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Slowly add oil/milk mixture to dry ingredients. Mix until well blended, adding flour as needed. Dough will be a little sticky.
Flour rolling surface and pour dough onto it. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Roll to about 1/2-inch thick and cut with a 2- to 3-inch cookie cutter. Place a bit of butter in each and fold. Place in a greased pan. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 400 degrees until brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.

1-pound box powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream or more
Combine powdered sugar and cream and mix until sizzling consistency. If icing is too thick, add more cream 1 teaspoon at a time. Drizzle icing over cinnamon rolls while they're hot.
Roll-Out Cookie Recipe
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix baking powder and flour and add 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will be very stiff. Blend the last of the flour in by hand (if dough becomes too stiff, add water 1 teaspoon at a time). Do not chill dough.
Divide into 2 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Dip cookie cutters in flour before each use. Bake cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet on the top rack of the oven for 6 to 7 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Makes 20 to 24 average-sized cookies.
Note: For colorful cookies, add small amounts of Icing Color until desired color is reached. For chocolate cookies, stir in 3 ounces melted, unsweetened chocolate.

1. I don't know. There's a lot of debate and I've gotten incredible sound from both digital and analog. With digital, I prefer hi-rez; I run both SACD and DVD-A. It is safe to say you can get great sound from both. Which is why I run both. Format snobbery is not going to get in the way of enjoying music.
2. Vinyl is often better mastered than the typical "Loudness War" CD you find today. But CDs can be mastered very, very well. One reason I love SACD is that it is sort of a guarantee that the mastering is done well. Though that argument is complicated because the vast majority of SACDs are classical and jazz, which tend to be mastered very well on CDs. Still, I'll pay a few extra dollars for hi-rez. I like to get the best possible recording.
3. Vinyl playback is tricky and capricious. The gear can be viciously expensive, then you have to set it up correctly. Even then, there's a bit of maintenance and upkeep. My hi-rez digital players are a lot easier to deal with. Still, I found it worthwhile to invest deeply in vinyl playback. The technology hasn't changed much, so I think the rig will be about as good as it gets for years. Digital changes every 18-24 months. I won't spend a lot on digital because something better and cheaper is usually on the horizon. For digital, I'll hang a generation or two behind and upgrade with used gear when it gets affordable. I don't think the Michell Orbe and SME IV will be much improved upon in the next 20-30 years, so I went whole hog. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. There isn't a lot of R&D being sunk into vinyl, so what's good today will probably be good in 2021 and beyond.
I enjoyed reading Uncle Eric's thoughts on the matter. I think he's a real smart guy. Like UE, I think it's all good. I've got a 32 year old Sony PS-4750 TT with Shure V15 VMR. Each has satisfied me from day one. Today, this TT/Cart is used to get my LP collection into my iTunes library.Thing is, I cannot distinguish the digitized material from the original LP's when I've set recording levels decently. In fact, most everything I've got in my iTunes library, from 256k downloads to 24/96 wav files sounds as good as SACD from my Sony DVP-S9000ES. My route from laptop to JBL L100t3's: Windows 7 up-sampled to 24/96 USB, to X-FI HD converted to optical S/PDIF, to Sony TA-E9000ES pre/pro.

OK, this is a fairly minor issue, but it can be annoying. On Windows, at least, if you use the hint objects, the hints will appear even when another application is active, when the mouse hovers over the hint area invisible behind the current window. Does anyone know of a fix or alternate hint object without this behavior? Thanks.

you could use the active object to deactivate the hints, when the window is inactive…….

OK, I figured this one out with a little help from wireshark and the machines receiving the traffic. Apparently 1234/UDP is used for a proprietary Video Streaming application. I think what I will take away from this is that while the last time I was watching this much traffic, viruses were noisy and big. Today, the ones to worry about are DDoS (80,53, 433, 8080, etc) and quiet C&C channels. I guess the days of massive floods related to malware/viruses/worms are long gone. Once again, sorry for the noise.

A coalition of activists looking to build popular resistance to predatory lending kicked off a new initiative, The Rolling Jubilee, to challenge the status quo of debt collection by purchasing distressed debts and then—rather than collecting on it—wiping the slate clean.
The Occupy offshoot, Strike Debt, will hold a telethon and variety show called "The People's Bailout" in New York on Nov. 15 to raise money for the cause. For pennies on the dollar ($32 for every $1), individuals or companies can buy distressed debt—including student loans and outstanding medical bills—from lenders if the borrower is either behind their payments or in default. Whereas traditional debt collectors then hound the debtor to pay up, the Rolling Jubilee is bunking the system by erasing the debt and, therefore, liberating the debtor.
Rolling Jubilee, whose website went live on Monday, has already raised over $87,000 to abolish $1.7 million worth of debt. According to writer and Jubilee organizer David Rees, the group has already performed a test run on the debt market by spending $500 on distressed debt, buying $14,000 worth of outstanding loans and pardoning the debtors.
Their stated goal is to raise $50,000 to buy up (and eliminate) $1 million worth of debt, focusing primarily on communities hardest hit by the recession. However, what makes the campaign especially clever is the inevitable exposure of lenders who may refuse to participate. As Charles Eisenstein writes in The Guardian:
If the lenders block debt cancellation even when it comes at no cost to themselves (as they would have sold it at the same price to a collection agency), they appear as a bunch of greedy, vindictive Scrooges.A video produced by Strike Debt to promote the scheme, declares: "We bailed-out the banks and in return they turned their backs on us. We don't owe them anything, we owe each other everything. It's time for a bail-out of the people, by the people."
The problem of unpayable debts bedevils every corner of our financial system – public, corporate, and personal. So far, the response of the monetary and fiscal authorities to nearly every financial crisis has been to bail out the creditors but not the debtors.
The Rolling Jubilee brings a different kind of solution into the public consciousness. The next time a systemic crisis breaks, central banks can rescue the banking system by once again buying the delinquent loans – and then cancel them or reduce the amount borrowers owe.

Being named captain of your country at the age of 21 should tell you enough about the promise of Aaron Ramsey.
After missing nine months with a horrific leg break suffered against Stoke in February 2010, it's easy to forget this was the youngster's first full season at Emirates Stadium.
With Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri leaving last summer and Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby sidelined through injury, Aaron grabbed his first-team opportunities at the beginning of the campaign. The young midfielder was a regular in Arsène Wenger's first team and quickly began to form a healthy midfield understanding with Mikel Arteta.
There were goals against Tottenham, Marseille and Sunderland along the way but next season Aaron will be keen to reach double figures. "He has that ability to get into the box and when he has a chance he finishes it," said Wenger in October. "He has always had that since he started. There is much more to come from Aaron and I believe he can reach double figures."
With a full campaign under his belt, a season without injury and the captain's armband for Wales, the only way is up for Aaron Ramsey.
"It's been quite weird because [initially] I was playing, so Jack [Wilshere] went out on loan. Then I got injured, so Jack played. We haven't really had a chance to play together yet in the league. It will be good to have the competition."
Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
Premier League | 27+7 | 2 | 4 |
Champions League | 5+2 | 1 | 1 |
FA Cup | 3 | - | 1 |
Carling Cup | - | - | - |
Total | 35+9 | 3 | 6 |
Aaron's contributions off the bench in Marseille proved vital towards helping Arsenal secure top spot in Champions League Group F. Latching onto Gervinho's flick-on, the young midfielder kept his composure in the dying embers of a tight encounter to slot home for a vital three points in France.
Aaron keeps his cool in Marseille to win the game for Arsenal

text: Rain Without Thunder is a "pro-choice" tract, expertly packaged in the form of speculative fiction. In a futuristic society, abortion is a crime punishable by a harsh prison term, and all female sexual activity is electronically monitored. When young Ali Thomas chooses not to bring her unborn child to term, she is thrown into jail. And since her mother (Betty Buckley) had driven Thomas to the abortionist, she too is arrested--charged with kidnapping the fetus! The filmmakers wear their ideology on both sleeves, but one cannot deny that Rain Without Thunder drives its point home forcefully. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Protecting your intellectual property is so important. Your name, logo, and business creations tell your customers who you are. So making sure that no one can steal your company's brand is one of the first steps you should make when starting a business. We asked some of our small business experts if they had any IP horror stories from when they were first starting out. Here's what they had to say… (more…)

Business Basics: Business Website
Your business needs a website – end of story. In 2014, only 53% of small business had an active website, and yet 97% of consumers reported searching online for products or services. That discrepancy is absolutely insane! The most commonly given reason for not having a website is that the business doesn't need one which is far from true: a small business without a website will fail to reach a huge part of its market. So if you don't already have one, you need to start building a business website now. We can't tell you what to put on that site, but we can help you plan it out by covering four things your site should have.
Domain Name
This one is pretty obvious – you need a domain name if you're going to build a site. Anyone without a site is already late to the game, but as long as your business's name isn't too common – i.e. John Smith Flowers or Jane Smith Tires – you should be able to grab a domain name that's fairly close to your DBA name. However, if you're too late and your desired domain is taken, you can choose a domain that doesn't directly match your 'Doing Business As' name. You just need to remember that it's now your job to make it clear what business your customers are dealing with, so make sure your DBA name is clearly seen on your site.
Business Basics: Trade Dress
This week we thought it'd be a good idea to look at one of the most important parts of a product's branding, its trade dress. You are affected by trade dress every single day, whether you realize it or not. If we describe a white coffee cup with a green circle on it, you'll know it's from Starbucks. Or if we show you a bag with a red square and yellow arches, you'll think McDonalds. Essentially, trade dress is the various characteristics that make up a product's or package's appearance. But how do you protect your own trade dress? And does building a brand mean marrying that packaging?
Why should you build trade dress recognition?
Because your company needs a way to immediately distinguish itself. Your brand embodies all of the goodwill and trust you've built into your company, and something as simple as a color, font, or even the shape of your product's box can evoke all of those feelings within whatever customer is looking at your product. That's why you want your trade dress to be consistent over all of your properties. Your logo, signage, site, and product packaging should all be built around some common element that inextricably ties your business with your product or service.
Business Basics – Copyrights
Protecting your intellectual property is a vital part of protecting your business. Your intellectual property will essentially define your brand – the very element of your business that consumers associate with all of the goodwill you've built into your business. We've already talked about trademarks, but this week we decided to look at the other half of intellectual property protection; the copyright. So what exactly is a copyright? And what does registering a copyright even protect?
What is a copyright?
Copyright protection actually dates all the way back to the advent of the printing press. After its invention, it was much easier to copy and sell books. But the printing press also meant that rebellious literature could also be produced much more quickly. This, combined with the threat to the livelihood of the creators of the works being printed, meant the government began to license shops with the right to print copy – and thus the copyright was born. As the decades passed copyright protection became more about protecting the artist, and less about stifling rebellious text, and today we continue to use copyright protections to enforce the rights creators have to their work.
6 Sure-Fire Ways to Keep Your Small Business Financially Secure
In these tough economic times, it's important that you carry out all necessary procedures to safeguard your business. Money may be tight but competition is rife, so you MUST keep all cards close to your chest to protect the company's future.
There are various ways that you can keep your business secure and no we're not talking about putting up CCTV or an iron gate. Yes, your business should have measures for physical security but today we're discussing ways to keep your firm financially secure and here are 6 tips brought to you by the team at Real Business Rescue.
R is for Registered Trademark and Copyright
This week's letter-based-topic might seem like a stretch since, really, the subjects are trademarks and copyrights – neither of which begin with an r. But putting registered in front of those terms is not just a cop-out that a lazy writer has used to fit with a weekly theme. There are actually very important distinctions between registered and unregistered intellectual properties.
Technically, you do not have to register trademarked or copyrighted property. An unregistered trademark simply needs the little ™ symbol next to it and, voilà, the property is unofficially trademarked. You can even establish a proprietary right to the mark by using it in the market.
The same general principle is also applicable to copyrights. When the United States signed onto the Berne Convention in the late 80's, it effectively agreed to see an author copyrighting his or her work as an automatic right. That means that, thanks to the Berne Convention, no registration is required to copyright something in the United States.
The Serious Business of Branding Your Charity
Guest post today courtesy of Kent E. Seton, founder and president of the Center for Nonprofit Creation.
If you are passionate about your nonprofit charity or business, branding your charity is an invaluable tool that can yield significant economic benefits. Some of the most well known nonprofits in the world, like United Way and the American Red Cross, are charitable entities that are just as well known as brands that do make a profit, like Coca Cola and Nike. How does a nonprofit translate into dollars and cents? Several companies, such as the American Red Cross, have brands so reputable that they license out their trademark to "for profit" enterprises. An example of this licensing in action is a seal of approval – if you go into a grocery store and see a Red Cross logo on a cosmetic item, it has been officially "certified" by the American Red Cross. Each time that product is sold, the American Red Cross earns a royalty. The American Red Cross generates a significant amount of revenue via this model.
B is for Branding
For the second installment of our ABC's of Business here at the MyCorp Blog. B gave us a bit of trouble – we knew we couldn't lapse into the overtly lazy choice and just use "Business" as our B word, but we soon realized that most of the B's we could use involve Business in some way. Business financing, Business to Business Sales, Bring Your Own Business (the new BYOB) … and while we love busy businesses, we just couldn't be seen using the tell-tale B word for this installment. In what must have been one of the weakest eureka moments in the history of blogging, we figured out an important B that DIDN'T involve the word Business – Branding. So, for this week at least, B is for Branding. (more…)
Guest Post: What Sorts of Copyright Laws Apply to Music in the Workplace?
At one time, when the terms "public," "music" and "business" were combined, it meant one of three things: Muzak, a jukebox or a live musical performance. Now we're surrounded by all kinds of music in public venues each and every day. Public music is so ubiquitous that the relative silence of a library is almost shocking in comparison. With Spotify and Pandora on hand constantly, we're been conditioned to go through life with a perpetual playlist streaming in from our iPods. When planning the ambience for your establishment, you'll probably be busy thinking of what type of music would work best for your customers – such as sitar music in a spa or chill beats in an urban café – and price shopping for speakers that provide smooth sound. But before you purchase a speaker system, take a step back and think about where that music is going to come from and the kinds of copyright laws you need to abide by to play these songs. (more…)
Does Pinterest Have A Future?
Pinterest has received quite a bit of positive attention, mainly due to its filling of the niche demographic of younger women, but is it destined for social media greatness, or will it fizzle and be sent to the same grave that MySpace and Google+ have been relegated to?
In the hopes of answering these questions, Social Media Today is hosting a webinar to discuss how Pinterest made such a splash, how it will mesh with other social media juggernauts, and what the future of the new kid on the block will hold. Our very own CEO Deborah Sweeney will appear on the panel to give her expertise regarding the legal concerns of the service. Mrs. Sweeney has also written for Social Media Today on the copyright woes Pinterest may soon face.
The webinar will be held tomorrow, March 13th starting at 12:00pm EST/9:00am PST. You have to register to attend, which you can do here, but the webinar is completely free for anyone interested.

I was talking about stock cars and stock turbos for the most part and I also said, "compared to NA engines of higher displacement." And when it comes to heatsoak and getting winded, that's pretty much true of F/I engines of smaller displacement when compared to NA engines of larger displacement.
Yes, of course a modded Supra will run fast all the way to the top, and your car may too.
But what are you comparing it too?
If all else is equal (gearing, weight, aerodynamics, etc) one car with a blown 6 cylinder making 500 hp and another with a high revving NA V8 making 500 hp, sure the blown 6 is going to feel fast (and certainly will be especially down low, but I'd put my money on the high revving V8 taking it and pulling harder as the speeds increase to 120, 140, 150+ mph.
This is of course, if your at or near sea level too.
Then you have to take multiple runs into consideration with F/I cars. Heatsoak is always prevalent with them. Where N/A engines get very warm and may lose a bit of power, F/I engines get very HOT and lose significant power. Sure you can combat this a decent amount with larger intercoolers, oil coolers, meth, etc. But again comparing pretty much stock for stock. Start adding equivalent mods to a NA V8 as to a F/I 4 or 6 and then well you have another comparison all together.
twin turbo V12's are more luxury cruisers they don't rev much therefore they have lots of low and mid range grunt, but are much more "relaxed" at higher rpms. I prefer TT V8's anyday (lighter and rev up too).
And don't get me wrong, I like F/I engines, of the 35+ cars I've owned in 20 or so years, 7-8 of them have been F/I (my last 4 cars included Legacy GT, then two BMW 335i's and now this WRX)

Pretzel Maker
In the early fifth century, when some monks were busy inventing Shaolin Kung Fu, German monks took a vow of deliciousness and invented the pretzel. Believe it or not, they were made to mimic arms folded in prayer and used to reward small children for good deeds. Even back then, they were a hit. Flash forward a couple of centuries. That's when we later came along and elevated the Pretzel to new dimensions of tastiness.
Pretzelmaker / Pretzel Time introduced our famous soft pretzel in 1991. It was a hit. Today, we offer an awesome selection of hot, fresh-baked, fresh twisted pretzels, pretzel dogs, freshly squeezed lemonade, creamy blended drinks, and cold beverages all over the world. You can find us in over 360 locations in the U.S. and worldwide. For now-Antarctica, watch out.

Sources tell Rumorfix that the band, which has been on a decade-long hiatus, is about to announce a 15-city trek set to take place in July and August. A formal announcement should be made in the next week. One source told the site that the tour would serve as a thank-you to the band's fans.
Rumors of a reunion kicked off on Wednesday, when the band's website got a face-lift that includes a spanking new logo and a Twitter feed with the guys' official pages scrolling through the homepage. A rep for the band had not responded to MTV News' request for comment by press time.
Given all the love boy bands are getting these days (see One Direction and the Wanted), there are still some that might want to capitalize on the mania sweeping the world. Here are MTV News' picks for the groups we'd love to see get back together.
O-Town was the product of the reality show "Making the Band." Once managed by imprisoned boy-band impresario Lou Pearlman, the guys managed to put their reality-show pedigree behind them and launched a short-lived, successful run that included hits like the chart-topping "Liquid Dreams."
This would be the gold-star reunion. 'NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys were the two boy bands of the late-'90s revival that reached mega heights of fame and success. Several albums into their career, there appeared to be no stopping Justin Timberlake and the boys. But in 2002, they went on a "temporary hiatus" and have never looked back.
Westlife plan to break up later this year after they wrap up their 2012 tour. But now seems like the right time to keep it going a little bit longer. Given America's love for boy bands that hail from the U.K., Westlife, who found fame under the guidance of Simon Cowell and serenaded ladies with tracks like "Swear It Again," might just want to stick around and ride out this latest wave of boy-band love.

When it comes to picking the time to retire, many federal and postal workers leave in late December or early January. By picking the best date to retire at the end-of-year (this year it is December 31 for both CSRS and FERS employees) people can carry over the maximum amount of unused annual leave. And if there is a pay raise in 2011 most of that leave will be paid them at the new higher rate.
(President Obama has proposed a 1.4 percent civilian federal pay raise but Congress may have other ideas. For the latest on the lame duck Congress, click here.)
But if you are planning on pulling the plug then, or anytime in the near future, here's a tip:
Read the full transcript of our online chat with Beth Killoran, deputy assistant secretary for Information Technology and chief information officer at HHS.
Have a stash of cash. Some experts say you should have enough to pay your mortgage, rent, buy groceries and pay bills for 6 to 12 months. Because…
Compared to the private sector, federal retirement benefits are generous and are indexed to inflation. But…
As good as that annuity may be, it could be some time before you start getting a full retirement check. Think about living on half, or less, os your current income for an extended period!
When you retire the government will give you a portion of your estimated annuity until they figure out exactly how much you should receive. The problem is that could be a while – months in some cases, many months in a few – before you start getting your full annuity check. In September we issued an early warning about delays in retirement processing.
That early alert prompted lots of recent retirees to tell us their horror stories about delayed payments.
Since then the Office of Personnel Management has promised to speed up the process.
There are a number of reasons for the backlog in processing retirement claims: Lots of early retirements from the U.S. Postal Service, slow or sloppy handling of paperwork from your agency, then delays getting the papers and documents to OPM.
But until things get better, consider this heads up alert that a Commerce Department agency got from its Benefits & Retirement Team:
"…OPM has updated their annuity payment schedule.
You should receive your FIRST annuity payment from OPM about 6 to 8 weeks AFTER your retirement date. This payment will be an interim payment and should equal about 40 percent to 50 percent of the estimate this agency prepared for you.
Interim payments will continue for approximately 9 to 12 months while OPM completes an audit of your records. Once OPM has finalized your case, they will determine the exact amount of your annuity and will make any retroactive payments that are due to you.
The time-frame can vary greatly. Most of the records (your records) are on paper. And they must be eyeballed by a human being. If you've spent your entire career in one agency, your paperwork should be less and less complicated than if you changed agencies, had a break in service or anything that would generate extra paperwork.
Mike, a retired IRS agent in Las Vegas, said that when he retired his wife presented him with a pleasant surprise: A bank account with more than $60,000. He said she paid the bills, and did their taxes, for which he is eternally grateful. She also set aside a nest egg which, he said, came in very handy while he was getting interim annuity payments.

On May 16, 2014, the district court entered Judgment on a jury verdict in favor of Plaintiff Global Traffic Technologies, LLC ("GTT") in the amount of $5,052,118, enhanced damages in the amount of $2,526,059, and prejudgment interest in the amount of $923,965, plus $1,384.14 for each day after October 31, 2013. Defendants Morgan and KME requested that the district court stay execution of judgment and waive the supersedeas bond requirement. Defendant STC requested that the district court stay execution of judgment with an authorized bond of $100,000, together with pending patent applications in the field of traffic signal preemption.
As the district court explained, "[a]n appellant may obtain a stay of execution of judgment pending appeal when an appellant posts a supersedeas bond, "in the full amount of the judgment plus interests, costs, and damages for delay." Fed.R.Civ. P. 62(d); Corporate Comm'n of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians v. Money Ctrs. of Am., Inc., No. 12-1015, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 176796, at *2 (D. Minn. Dec. 17, 2013) (citing New Access Commc'ns LLC v. Qwest Corp., 378 F. Supp. 2d 1135, 1138 (D. Minn. 2005) (Tunheim, J.)). The Court maintains the discretion, however, to waive the bond requirement and stay enforcement of the judgment without a bond."
The district court found there was no justification to stay enforcement of the judgment. "Defendants have not shown justification for a stay of judgment and have not met their burden to waive any amount of the supersedeas bond required under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 62. As an initial matter, Defendants' representations cannot be relied upon. In lieu of a bond, Morgan and KME offered as partial alternate security Canadian Patent #1,338,356, which they represented as remaining valid for another two years and estimated an approximate value of the remaining duration of the Canadian patent at $1.5 million. Morgan and KME now concede that this patent is expired. Morgan and KME also represent that they have a "chose in action," a lawsuit, against GTT, based on this now admittedly expired patent, which they represent has a value of approximately $3.8 million. The value of such a suit before resolution is always speculative, but there is also no evidence that this suit has been filed. Finally, KME offers as security its corporate stock. However, according to Morgan's bank filings, KME has essentially no assets. Thus, accepting Morgan and KME's offer of alternative security is no insurance that GTT will be able to ultimately collect the judgment."
Although STC has given the Court fewer reasons to distrust its representations than the other Defendants, STC has still failed to present sufficient and reliable evidence of its financial situation or of its ability to obtain a supersedeas bond. STC's only documentary evidence is an unaudited balance sheet from April 2014 showing a net worth of just under $1 million.
Finally, the district court noted that jury had "found Morgan, KME and STC willfully infringed on GTT's patent. The jury found that GTT was entitled to recover over $5 million in damages because of Defendants' sale of infringing products.
Accordingly, the district court denied the motion to stay enforcement of the judgment. "Defendants have not demonstrated sufficient reason for the Court to waive the requirement of a full supersedeas bond prescribed by Rule 62(d). Without a sufficient supersedeas bond, Defendant have not shown they are entitled to a stay of judgment pending appeal."

chinmi needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 40 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Our goal is to bring language learners from all over the world together in one place, so that we can learn from each other.
We will attempt this by building a simple website in which participants are invited to translate and correct sentences for each other. A point system will try to regulate the process.
Our ambition is to become something along the lines of a 'Wikipedia for translations', with speedy and quality translations for everyone.
You can find a (very) rough prototype of the website on http://www.translapolis.org/alpha
UPDATE : to be clear, we need a logo that does not necessarily include the name of the website.
UPDATE2 : we are more looking for a stylish drawing than a corporate logo
SUGGESTION : If you want to play it safe and still have a very good chance of winning : take the existing header, remove the city and replace it with falling leaves in black.
We are primarily targetting language learners who are looking for a new, simple tool to help them in their studies.
However, the website could be useful for anyone who is looking for translations/corrections, not only language learners.
Until now, we have been working under code name 'Translapolis'
Translapolis is derived from the words 'translation' + 'polis'. The latter is ancient Greek, meaning 'city'.
Although 'translation city' describes us well as a haven for language learners, we have been looking for a more simple and less complicated name. We have now decided on using the name 'Translets'.
***Translets are small pieces of text that anyone can translate (or correct). ***
What do we need?
Please take a look at the included attachment (header-citytheme). Until now, the theme of the website was the 'city' and our prototype header reflects that.
The *minimum* we need is a drawing / logo that replaces the drawing of a city skyline in our header. It can be replaced with anything, but obviously it has to represent what we stand for as good as possible. We suggest that the designer starts from the concept of a 'translet', and goes from there.
We would like it to be stylish, but sufficiently simple to not distract from the website (see prototype website).
The designer is free to take a shot at redesigning the whole of the header as well, as long as its dimensions are preserved (around 975px width).
Thank you and good luck!

Healthy Morton savors new status with Pirates
February 27, 2014 6:57 AMBRADENTON, Fla. — Charlie Morton will buck a nasty springtime trend of injury and recovery today when he pitches against the New York Yankees in Tampa. Fla.
Morton spent the 2013 spring recovering from Tommy John ligament replacement surgery, which prevented him from participating in exhibition games and delayed his first start until June. In 2012, one year after Morton found new effectiveness and confidence with a lower, more natural arm slot, he lagged behind the rest of the pitchers due offseason hip surgery.
"I was able to do pretty much everything from the get-go [this year]," Morton said. "All my normal exercises, weight training, all that stuff, pretty much started mid-November."
Before injury, there was ineffectiveness. In 2011, he entered spring on the heels of a 2-12 record and 7.57 ERA in 2010, far removed from the guaranteed rotation spot Morton now enjoys.
Morton, 30, a right-hander, will join Francisco Liriano and Gerrit Cole in a rotation that teamed in 2013 with a stellar bullpen to lead an average offensive team to 94 wins and the playoffs.
Morton, however, views the rotation as a collection of individuals who need to perform when called upon.
"It may look different from the outside looking in," he said.
"What we do is we try to get ready to pitch when we're given an opportunity to pitch."
Morton enters this season with slightly more than five years of major league service, meaning he could have tested free agency after last season. Considering the contracts doled out to pitchers this winter — $24 million for three years of Phil Hughes, four years and $49 million for Ricky Nolasco, four years and $50 million for Matt Garza — Morton could have found a nice offer.
But Morton wanted to remain in Pittsburgh, and the Pirates realized his value was only going up, so the two sides agreed to a three-year, $21 million extension with an option for 2017.
"I guess the fact that I signed this past offseason, it changed things," Morton said. "It changed my perspective a little bit.
"It allows me to focus on the game and not just the results and how they're going to affect my future, long, long term. It's more about me going out and doing my job to win for the team. In that sense, there's some relief."
Even so, Morton said, the contract created some pressure.
"Obviously, there's some expectation there," he said.
"It's an opportunity for me to obviously add some financial security, but, at the same time, I feel like I have to earn it."
Morton proved he could in a six-start span last summer. He allowed eight earned runs in 411⁄3 innings for an ERA of 1.74. He pitched at least six innings in each start, finishing seven innings in four, and did not allow more than two runs in any game.
"No different than any other time where there was success, where you would call it consistent performances," Morton said.
"What allowed me to do that was doing what I do best consistently."
What Morton does best is throw a two-seam, sinking fastball that dives down and in against right-handers and away from left-handers.
Among pitchers with at least 110 innings pitched in 2013, Morton's 62.9 percent ground-ball rate was the highest in Major League Baseball. When the sinker works, it accentuates Morton's curveball, which he has thrown more often over the past two seasons.
It was at its best last season.
"The difference is the consistency and what allows you to do that is having a consistent approach, sticking with what's working and what's worked in the past," Morton said.
Morton likely will pitch only an inning or two today. The outing will have little to no bearing on his performance this season.
Its significance comes not from the results but from the timing.
Finally, in late February, Morton is ready to pitch.

Treat yourself (or someone you're fond of) to Handcrafted Modern, an intimate collection of photographs of astonishingly beautiful, iconic and undiscovered mid-century interiors. Among these significant spaces, none are more celebrated yet underpublished as the homes created by architects and interior designers for themselves. This collection of newly commissioned photographs presents compelling homes by influential designers Russel Wright, George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, Eva Zeisel and others. Intimate as well as revelatory, Williamson's photographs show these creative homes as they were lived in by their designers: Walter Gropius's historic Bauhaus home in Massachusetts; Albert Frey's floating modernist aerie on a Palm Springs rock outcropping; Wharton Esherick's completely handmade Pennsylvania house, from the organic handcarved staircase to the iconic furniture. These homes are exemplary studies of domestic modernism at its warmest and most creative. Published by Rizzoli on October 12, 2010.

A cold join, metal, found object ring made in Susan Lenart Kazmir's class. I used many jewelry skills, lots of new ones, to construct this ring. I started with only a sheet of copper, iron wire, sterling wire, and four found metal objects (the metal for the band, the loop, the hand, and the bottom coin.) I had to anneal, cut, saw, patina, punch, rivet, and wire the rest. The metal loop just under the top lintel piece is loose and will spin all the way around the ring, under the lintel. It looked somewhat like a fertilizer spreader to me -- hence the name "Spreading Joy." The word "joy" is punched into the metal loop and the words "joy" and "gentleness" are punched into the metal just below the loop.

Phish is a band that many people have heard of, but perhaps actually never have heard. Many fans would suggest skipping the studio albums altogether and diving in with the first official concert document, A Live One. However, studio albums such as Junta — Phish's official studio debut — contain concert staples like Fluffhead and David Bowie. 1993's concept album, Rift, and its follow-up Hoist and the relatively commercial Billy Breathes — released during the ascension of Phish and the Gen-X-fueled jam-band movement of the '90s — usually make fan lists of top studio albums.

Within the borders of Cambridge, Massachusetts, are 17,000 rooftops, or 17,000 individual surfaces on which it might make sense one day to install photovoltaic cells. Of course, these roofs are not all equally fit for solar power. Some of them have weird chimneys or sloping architecture or tree shade. Some buildings are oriented in the wrong direction (for the sun's purposes, at least), or they're boxed in by even taller structures that block out natural daylight.
From the sun's point of view, all of this means that Cambridge looks about like the aerial image above. The gold dots are the solar sweet spots, the brown ones are more or less untouchable. The image comes from a new mapping tool built by MIT's Sustainable Design Lab and the Boston design firm Modern Development Studio. They've mashed together some pretty remarkable datasets about Cambridge to model the solar potential of just about every square meter of rooftop space in the city (literally, each of those dots represents one square meter). And the model they've developed could potentially give us the same information about every surface on the planet.
"When an owner uses the map, they get a very good evaluation of how good the solar potential of their roof is," says Christoph Reinhart, an MIT associate professor working on the project. Modern Development Studio's web platform can even translate that solar potential into a financial cost, a payback period, a carbon emissions reduction and equivalent calculations for how many trees you'd have to plant or fewer miles you'd have to drive to achieve the same effect. "But we'd like to now say, what does it mean for the city?" Reinhart asks. "Where should we support putting photovoltaics on roofs?"
This project assumes that we will one day be making decisions about where to put this stuff at the community level rather than the household one. "Right now it's a bit about me, me, me," Reinhart says, light-heartedly. "How do I get the most money?"
This map illustrates that just because you want to be that guy on the block with solar panels doesn't mean your house is the best place to put them.
MIT came up with all of this leveraging a couple of giant datasets with fine-tuned algorithms. The model relies upon hourly solar radiation data collected at nearby Logan International Airport (data that measures, in effect, how much sun the city gets in this climate), as well as on Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data previously collected in an aerial flyover of the city. LIDAR data, which captures how far each treetop or roof is from the ground, is commonly used to make three-dimensional models of cities (or to measure things like tree cover).
In the case of Cambridge, that LIDAR data contained 126 million individual data points. To illustrate what this looks like, this is an aerial photo of MIT's campus and Kresge Auditorium:
This is what that same scene looks like with LIDAR data.
Here, MIT's algorithm (which reduces those 126 million data points to 9 million) simplifies the scene.
Using GIS floor print data, that same picture becomes a 3D model.
And now hourly solar radiation data is added to it as well.
This is the end result, capturing this part of MIT's campus on the mapping tool.
MIT shouldn't waste time, in other words, trying to mount PV cells on the northern tri-corner of Kresge Auditorium.
In all, Cambridge is particularly solar-friendly because most of its buildings are of about the same height. A similar picture of Manhattan would look dramatically different, with taller buildings crowding out the solar potential of smaller ones. As Reinhart hopes, similar tools should come soon to other cities, too.

Staff Sgt. R. Jay Phelps (left), enlisted leader in charge of the Sniper Detachment, 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, a National Guard unit headquartered in Knoxville, Tenn., and one of his fellow Soldiers collect vegetation from the surrounding area in order to engage in sniper training during an exportable combat training center training event located at Camp Shelby, Miss., June 9. At Camp Shelby, the 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment "Desert Rogues," 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, will act as the opposing force in support of the 278th ACR. This event is of great significance in that it is the first time a battalion from the regular Army has acted as OPFOR for a reserve component unit since this practice was stopped after 9/11 due to the regular Army's high rate of deployment. Not only does it signify that the Army is getting back to the way it used to be before the conflicts, but it also signifies a large step towards embracing the total Army concept. The training exercise is scheduled to be more than a month long and will be finished in the last week of June. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Richard Wrigley, 2nd ABCT, 3rd ID, Public Affairs NCO)
