Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court held in an 8-1 decision that induced patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) requires proof of knowledge that the induced acts constitute patent infringement. Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. v. SEB S.A., No. 10-6, slip op. at 10 (May 31, 2011). The Court agreed that the inducer's knowledge of patent infringement may be proved by circumstantial evidence, but reversed the Federal Circuit's test for knowledge—"deliberate indifference to a known risk that a patent exists"—and replaced it with a "willful blindness" test to confine induced patent infringement to acts that "surpass[] recklessness and negligence." Id. at 10–14. (Click here for the Court's opinion).
"Willful blindness" has two requirements: "(1) the defendant must subjectively believe that there is a high probability that a fact exists and (2) the defendant must take deliberate actions to avoid learning of that fact." Id. at 13. Proof of "deliberate indifference" is insufficient because "it permits a finding of knowledge when there is merely a 'known risk' that the induced acts are infringement," and it "does not require active efforts by an inducer to avoid knowing about the infringing nature of the activities." Id. at 14.
Even though the Court revised the standard for proving knowledge, the Court affirmed the Federal Circuit's decision that defendant Global-Tech induced infringement under § 271(b). Id. Global-Tech designed fryers to be sold in the United States by copying a patented SEB fryer it purchased in Hong Kong, where the SEB fryer was not marked with U.S. patents. Id. at 2, 15. Global-Tech then failed to inform its patent attorney that it copied SEB's design when it sought a patent clearance opinion to sell its fryer in the United States. Id. at 2, 15. The Court held this evidence sufficient to show that Global-Tech willfully blinded itself to the infringing nature of its U.S. customers' sales of the copied fryer. Id. at 15.
Justice Kennedy dissented. He agreed that § 271(b) requires knowledge that the induced acts constitute patent infringement, but did not agree that the "willful blindness" test shows the requisite knowledge. Id. at 1 (Kennedy, J., dissenting). Justice Kennedy would have remanded the case to the Federal Circuit for consideration of whether the facts presented sufficient circumstantial evidence to show that Global-Tech actually knew of the SEB patent. Id. at 4 (Kennedy, J., dissenting).
The Supreme Court's decision has important implications for patentees and accused inducers of infringement. A patentee must now present evidence demonstrating the inducer's knowledge of the patent to prove induced infringement. "Willful blindness" to the patent, which is more than deliberate indifference, recklessness, or negligence, can show an inducer's knowledge of the patent. Direct evidence of the inducer's knowledge, which could be provided in a notice letter, would also suffice. Proving the inducer's knowledge of the patent also may entitle a patentee to additional past damages, because proof that the inducer knew of the patent also may show that the inducer had notice of the patent from its first infringing act.

In The Nine Pound Hammer, John Bemis introduced middle-grade readers to a whole new approach to epic fantasy, founded on characters and themes from American mythology and lore, including the legend of John Henry. Now in the third and final book, the heroes come together at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago for a final confrontation with a businessman and tycoon who is in fact an ageless evil known as the Gog. With his Dark Machine, he intends to bend the world to his ruthless vision of progress and efficiency. It's man versus machine all over again, fighting for the soul of humanity in front of Ferris's Wheel. For fans of adventure fantasy like Percy Jackson and Peter and the Starcatchers.
About the Author
JOHN CLAUDE BEMIS grew up in rural eastern North Carolina, where he loved reading the Jack tales and African American trickster stories, as well as fantasy and science fiction classics. A songwriter and musician in an Americana roots band, John found inspiration for his fiction in old-time country and blues music and the Southern folklore at its heart. John lives with his family in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Visit John's Web site at JohnClaudeBemis.com.
Praise For…
Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2011:
"With The Clockwork Dark series drawing to a close, author Bemis has saved the best for last...With a plot as intricate as the Machine at its center and a page-turning pace, this unique, ambitious American fantasy comes to a satisfying end that would please even John Henry."
VOYA, June 19, 2011:
"This third book focuses the complicated plots of the trilogy into a consistent conclusion that forces the reader to consider nature's strength and technology's dangers....The first two volumes' middle school fans who are now in junior high will find more than enough action and thought for their maturing tastes."
Tom Angleberger, author of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda:
"A rigorous adventure set in our own country's folkloric past, when the sons of John Henry and Little Bill fought a desperate, fantastical battle for the soul of America. A series which any self-respecting middle school book nerd would wolf down eagerly."

Groundwater begins with rainfall and snow melt that seeps or infiltrates into the ground. The amount of seepage varies with the type of land surface – water seeps more readily through porous material such as sand or gravel and less readily through material such as clay. The water that does not seep into the ground either runs off into lakes and streams or evaporates into the atmosphere.
The water that seeps into the ground descends by force of gravity until it reaches a depth where it fills all the openings in the soil or rock. This is called the saturated zone and typically includes water-filled crevices in the upper layer of bedrock. The top of the saturated zone is called the water table. The water table rises and falls with the seasons and the seasonal amount of rain and snow.
Another zone is found between the water table and the surface of the land. This is the unsaturated zone, where the openings in the soil are only partially filled with water. Plant roots can capture the water passing through this zone on its way to the water table.
An aquifer is a water-bearing soil or rock formation that is capable of yielding usable amounts of water. When groundwater becomes trapped under impermeable soil or rock it is called a confined or artesian aquifer. A well piercing a confined aquifer is known as an artesian well. Aquifers that are not confined under pressure are called unconfined or water table aquifers, and the water level in an unconfined well is the same at the water table outside the well.
Water seeping into an aquifer is known as recharge. Recharging occurs intermittently both during and immediately after rainfall or snow melt. The areas where permeable soil or rock allows the water to seep into the ground are called recharge areas. Groundwater enters the ground in recharge areas and leaves the ground at discharge points, usually as seepage into wetlands, lakes, and streams. Streams that receive groundwater discharges are known as gaining streams. The level of water in the stream (or wetland or lake) is the water table level for the adjacent aquifer.
Groundwater moves very slowly from recharge areas to discharge points. The rate of flow may take years, decades, or even centuries to move long distances through some (less permeable) aquifers. However, it may take only a few days or weeks for groundwater to move a short distance through loose soil.
Pumping water from a well lowers the water table near that well. This is known as the cone of depression. The groundwater is diverted toward the well as it flows into the depression cone. The cone of depression formed by a pumping well may extend to a nearby stream or lake. When the level of the water table is lower than that of the stream or lake, the stream or lake loses water to the adjacent groundwater aquifer. This is known as induced recharge. Streams and wetlands have been known to completely dry up as a result of the induced recharge from pumping wells.

#1 and #2 are less unnatural than #2; what is your teacher's ethnic origin? is possibly less unnatural than all of them.
I used 'less unnatural' rather than 'more natural' deliberately. This is not a question that I would consider natural to ask. Indeed, it would often be highly inappropriate.

text: With iPad and iCade Combined, a Classic Game Console is RebornMike Fahey12/12/12 4:55pmFiled to: VectrexVectrex RegenerationicadeHardwareThinkGeekRantmediaipadKotakumobile32EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Rantmedia games and ION have given me back a substantial portion of my childhood — the early days when I could be found sitting in front of an odd black box playing simple vector-based games with a controller connected via coiled telephone cord. So the controller isn't corded this time around. Between the Vectrex Regeneration app and ION's iPad arcade cabinet, I'm 11-years-old all over again. As I mentioned in my initial post about Rantmedia's mobile rejuvenation effort, I lost my Vectrex to a game of Russian Roulette. Every game, every colored plastic overlay gone in a tragic flash of teenage stupidity. I've pondered purchasing the console on eBay, hunting down all of the games and then constructing a shrine. Perhaps one day I will. Until then, the combination of the iPad app and the iCade will do quite nicely. Advertisement Advertisement Vectrex Regeneration, a free app available now on iTunes, features nearly every game made for the original system (Minestorm is free, a mega pack containing everything else is $6.99), as well as several fan creations that weren't. The system is emulated perfectly; even the hot spots where the vector lines meet are intact. You can even turn the colored overlays off to simulate an irresponsible original Vectrex owner.The app also features a collection of original commercials for the doomed system, full of promise never realized. It's a lovely tribute.The iCade Bluetooth arcade controller, reviewed by Mr. Brian Crecente last year, is a sexy little bit of retro goodness, built on technology that's catching on among iOS developers. It's amazingly solid for its size. The buttons are loud and the stick a bit stiff, but that's nothing that won't work itself out over time. ThinkGeek has the iCade on sale right now for $69.99 ($79.99 for shop-exclusive retro side art). Even at the regular price of $99 it comes highly recommended. Put the two together and what do you get? A beautiful harmony that instantly transports me 18 years into the past.Reply32 repliesLeave a reply

Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League table after an entertaining 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, while Chelsea climbed to third place.
Bidding to follow up the previous weekend's shock victory at Manchester United, West Brom took a 42nd-minute lead at The Hawthorns when Claudio Yacob converted Morgan Amalfitano's right-wing cross with a near-post header.
Former Arsenal striker Nicolas Anelka spurned two glorious opportunities to double the hosts' lead, fluffing his lines from Saido Berahino's low cross and then curling wide with only Wojciech Szczesny to beat.
He was made to pay for his profligacy in the 63rd minute when Jack Wilshere met Tomas Rosicky's layoff with a crisp drive that took a deflection off Jonas Olsson and flashed past goalkeeper Boaz Myhill.
Myhill prevented Olivier Giroud from claiming a late winner, but the draw was enough to take Arsene Wenger's side above Liverpool on goals scored.
"It was breathless," Wenger said. "West Brom showed why they won at Manchester United last week and we had a hell of a task to come back, but we showed character and we had chances to go on and win it. Our position is good because when you look at how we started [losing 3-1 at home to Aston Villa] and now we've come out of two away games well, so it's a good position to start again after the [international] break."
Tottenham Hotspur could have moved level on points with the leaders, but they were dealt a stunning 3-0 home defeat by London rivals West Ham United.
After a quiet first half, Spurs appeared to be hitting their stride in the second period when Winston Reid put West Ham ahead in the 66th minute, smashing home after Kevin Nolan had inadvertently blocked his header.
Ricardo Vaz Te added a second goal six minutes later, the ball ricocheting off his thigh and into the net after Hugo Lloris blocked his initial attempt, before Ravel Morrison completed the scoring with a fine solo goal.
Asked if the result was a wake-up call, Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas replied: "It is. This fixture was a bit dangerous."
"If we won, everything would be spectacular, but if you draw or lose, you drop into a position you don't want to be. Either way, we have done well so far," he said.
Earlier, Eden Hazard and close-season signing Willian came off the bench to score decisive goals as Chelsea won 3-1 at Norwich City.
The visitors took a fourth-minute lead when Oscar drilled home from Demba Ba's layoff, but Norwich gradually took the upper hand and equalized in the 68th minute.
Martin Olsson's deep left-wing cross was headed back across goal by Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Anthony Pilkington ghosted in behind David Luiz to glance a deft header past Petr Cech.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reacted by sending on Hazard and Willian, and it proved to be a masterstroke.
Hazard completed an 85th-minute counterattack with a low shot that squirmed beneath John Ruddy to put Chelsea ahead, before Willian curled home a glorious left-foot shot a minute later to claim his first goal for the club.
"When I make a change, the change is always fantastic, and the players make it fantastic or make it rubbish — it's up to them," Mourinho said. "I'm happy for Willian because he is starting with us, he is not 100 percent. He was injured in the week and the kid made himself available to try to help, and when he came on he gave us a push."

Syria's political opposition said on Monday it will withdraw from international peace talks scheduled this week unless United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon retracts an invitation to Iran, President Bashar al-Assad's main backer.
Washington, however, suggested it could support Iran's participation if it explicitly declares its support for a June 2012 plan for a political transition that the United States says means Assad would have to step down.
"This is something Iran has never done publicly and something we have long made clear is required," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement. ""If Iran does not fully and publicly accept the Geneva communique, the invitation must be rescinded."
Ban said earlier that he had invited Iran to attend the first day of talks on Jan. 22 in Montreux, Switzerland and that Tehran had pledged to play a "positive and constructive role" if it was asked to participate.
Less than 48 hours since Syria's main political opposition group in exile, the National Coalition, agreed to attend the talks, dubbed "Geneva 2," it threatened to withdraw.
"The Syrian Coalition announces that they will withdraw their attendance in Geneva 2 unless Ban Ki-moon retracts Iran's invitation," it said in a Twitter post, quoting National Coalition spokesman Louay Safi.
Another senior Coalition member, Anas al-Abdah, told Al-Jazeera TV by phone that the body was "surprised" by the invitation to Iran. "It is illogical and we cannot in any way accept it."
Some 130,000 people have been killed and a quarter of Syrians driven from their homes in the civil war, which began with peaceful protests against 40 years of Assad family rule and has descended into a sectarian conflict, with the opposing sides armed and funded by Sunni Arab states and Shi'ite Iran.
Western and Gulf Arab nations say they have been reluctant to support the idea of Iran participating at all because it is supporting Assad militarily and has never backed a plan for a political transition in Syria agreed at an international conference in Geneva in June 2012.
Ban said he had spoken at length with Iran's Foreign Minster Mohammad Javad Zarif in recent days and that he believed Tehran supported for the Geneva 2012 plan.
"He has assured me that like all the other countries invited to the opening day discussions in Montreux, Iran understands that the basis of the talks is the full implementation of the 30 June, 2012, Geneva communique," he said.
"Foreign Minister Zarif and I agreed that the goal of the negotiations is to establish by mutual consent a transitional governing body with a full executive powers," Ban said. "It was on that basis that Foreign Minister Zarif pledged that Iran would play a positive and constructive role in Montreux."
"Therefore as convener and host of the conference I have decided to issue an invitation to Iran to participate," Ban said. "Iran needs to participate as one of the important neighboring countries."
Ban said he expected Iran would issue a statement soon in response to his invitation.
Earlier this year the United States said that Iran might play a role on the sidelines of the Syria peace conference in Montreux. Tehran dismissed the idea of being relegated to the sidelines, saying it was beneath Iran's dignity.
The key players in the talks are Assad's government and opposition rebels. The Islamic Front, an alliance of several Islamist fighting forces that represents a large portion of the rebels on the ground, said on Sunday it rejected the talks, further dampening hopes of success.
Ban said he had invited on Sunday a total of 10 additional countries to attend on Jan. 22 - the Vatican, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Korea and Iran. Speaking to reporters at U.N. headquarters, Ban made clear that the full negotiations between the government and opposition would begin in earnest on Jan. 24 in Geneva.
Syrian opposition groups and Washington, which accuse Tehran of supporting Assad with manpower and arms during the uprising against him, have long had reservations about the participation of Iran, although Ban and the United Nations' special envoy on Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, have long backed Tehran's involvement.
While there has been a warming in U.S.-Iranian ties this year including a Nov. 24 deal to curb the Iranian nuclear program, there are no visible signs that this has led to greater improvement in other areas such as Syria, where they are on opposite sides of the civil war.

Tireless campaigner Jane Green has been busy again, this time organising a conference as part of her Coventry-based 2020 Zero Waste initiative. The event, entitled Making 2020 Zero Waste Work, will take place on Friday 9th September 2011 at the prestigious St. Mary's Guildhall.
High profile speakers include Environment Minister Caroline Spelman and Dr. Paul Connett, Executive Director of the American Environmental Health Studies Project and representative of the International Zero Waste Network.
Event organisers link zero waste with achieving a low carbon, resource efficient, future. This vision includes the emergence of zero waste hubs that commect waste management and zero waste projects.
Organiser and camopaigner Jane Green explains how she became involved in campaigning for zero waste:
The campaign against the waste incinerator was a wonderful success and stopped us spending £1 billion on burning half our waste for 30 years. From this a few of us decided to try to continue the momentum and develop a 2020 Zero Waste Initiative here in Coventry.
Workshop are arranged to address: Engaging the community in Zero Waste; Maximising Closed Loop Recycling of Food Waste; Accelerating the pace of industrial redesign through a Residual Research Centre; How local authorities can drive Zero Waste; and Creating a Reuse, Repair, Remanufacture and Community Park.
Those interested in attending the conference, listening to the speakers and taking part in the afternoon workshops can enrol on line at http://www.climate-change-solutions.co.uk/
2 Responses to "Making 2020 Zero Waste Work"
May I urge all Warwickshire people who want to see a sensible recycling policy to come to this meeting. Professor Connett is an inspirational speaker and his previous talk in Coventry is also posted on this web site (as YouTube video).
Congratulations to jane Green and the CRACIN people for following this idea through!
UKWIN has received the following further information about this event:
Come and help establish a research centre that will drive the industrial redesign we need to achieve Zero Waste.
On Thursday 8th September, there will be a workshop to found a research centre that will examine what is left in our bins, to drive constructive debate with industry on how waste can be designed out of the products and packaging we buy.
Hosted by Jim Hensman from BRAIN, Coventry University, the workshop will include presentations from:
· Rossano Ercolini – director of Europe's first Zero Waste Research Centre which has already led to significant changes in production in Italy – http://www.zerowasteeurope.eu/the-first-european-zero-waste-research-center-capannori-italy/· Professor Paul Connett – leading thinker on how to make Zero Waste a reality http://www.americanhealthstudies.org/zerowaste.pdf
The workshop will be facilitated by Adam Kennerley , CEO of Cwm Harry Land Trust, who are running a pilot for the Welsh Government on how communities can achieve Zero waste in Presteigne, Wales. This project has just hit 70% recycling, and the community really want to know whywaste can't be designed out of the products we buy day to day.
The outcomes from the workshop will be an understanding of how the concept could best work in the UK, how it fits with other initiatives and how it could be funded.

Brewers battling against a clubhouse bug
Brewers battling against a clubhouse bug
MILWAUKEE -- Cameras caught Ryan Braun in a coughing fit while the Brewers' celebrated Wednesday's walk-off win, evidence of a second wave of illness sweeping through the clubhouse.
The first came in Spring Training, and the latest has bitten such players as Braun, right fielder Corey Hart, reliever Francisco Rodriguez and Thursday's starter, Randy Wolf.
"There's a lot of guys who aren't feeling too good, so it's there," said manager Ron Roenicke, who has been fighting his own bug for weeks. "I don't know if it's the same thing that went through us in Spring Training or not, because it seems to me that somebody keeps having it, and it keeps dragging this thing on. I don't know if it's something different or not."

Memorial service set for sailor killed in Naples crash
By STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 29, 2013
NAPLES, Italy — A memorial service will be held Wednesday for a Naples, Italy-based sailor killed last week in a car crash in the Naples suburb of Pozzuoli, a Navy official said.
The service honoring Petty Officer 3rd Class Dawn E. Holt is set for 3 p.m. at the chapel on the Navy's Capodichino base.
Holt, assigned to headquarters command of Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella and stationed in Naples, was on her way to work Thursday when her car collided with another vehicle at 2:21 p.m. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Italian authorities.
Holt enlisted in the Navy from her hometown of Monroe, Ga., in 2007. She was 36, the Navy official said. The Italian newspaper Il Mattino had reported Monday that she was 34. Holt was traveling alone in her Renault. One of the four people in the second vehicle suffered minor injuries, according the U.S. Navy official.
She had served at Recruit Training Command at Great Lakes, Ill., Naval Technical Training Center in Meridian, Miss., and aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington.

My Son's Snowman |
Heading out for my run |
Of course because the rangers came to check out what the woman had told me, I saw them multiple times during my run, so that helped to make me feel safe. The one got out of his car to look down towards the lower trail. There was snow on the ground so it was slippery. Yep he fell. I tried not to laugh until I was far enough ahead of him. He got up and smiled at me so I knew he was ok. Other than that the run was uneventful. I was able to keep my footing pretty good, so that was a good thing. I ran a 11:41 pace and I am happy with that.
As soon as I got in the car a familiar pain came back. Yep my shins started to hurt. I could have cried. The last time I had this pain, well I stopped running for a long time. I texted Jodi who reminded me to stretch, Ice, and elevate it, which is exactly what I am doing right now. I am going to take a anti-inflammatory before heading to bed. She also asked when I got my shoes... and that is when I remembered - they are my marathon shoes, I need to replace them. So off to Second Sole to get a new pair. I got fitted for Asics. I was also informed that I Over-pronation when I run, so basically my arch goes flat and I need some more support. I hope that these shoes help!
Nothing scares me more than being benched because of shin splints. Yes I realize that they are not that bad of injury to have as a runner. However my motivation ran out the door last time I got these, and I don't want that to happen again. So I am going to be proactive about it this time. I have put it out to my runner friends to give me some ideas. I am going to ice, and take care of myself. I am going to fix this before it becomes a problem!

We would like to clean the grout/tile and put some type of coating over the floor to protect it. How do we go about doing this? The slate is really unique and different looking so we hate to replace it.


text: H, Y, and Z Are Your Money Letters: How To Beat Scrabble's Flawed Points System, Using Google-Powered MathSam Eifling1/13/13 10:15amFiled to: ScrabbleMathAlfred buttsGooglePeter NorvigNewsAppicTopNerdsStatsMoneyball for scrabble631EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink This week the director of research at Google, a fellow named Peter Norvig, published on his blog the results of a fascinating deep-dive into the English language. If you're at all interested in letter frequency or word frequency, you owe it to yourself to at least skim Norvig's post. Essentially the researcher who in the '60s wrote the seminal work on the topic suggested to Norvig that, given the ocean of words Google can pore through, Norvig might want to update the original study that measured letter frequency in 20,000 English words, using computing techniques from 50 years ago. Advertisement Norvig bit. He gathered and searched nearly 100,000 words with more than 743 billion mentions, and ranked both the frequency of words and of individual letters. ("The" crushed second-place "of" among words; "and," "to," "in," "a," "is" and "that" also all account for at least 1 percent of word usage.) For years, Norvig writes, typesetters knew the mnemonic ETAOIN SHRDLU represented the order of the most-frequent letters. But his results tilt that slightly. E, T, A, O, I, N and S are still the top seven. But he found H and R swapped places, as did L and D. And that C comes before U. Not exactly earth-shattering, but for quantitative nerds who also like to read and talk, it's fun enough.When I noticed this study, I happened to be in the throes of a terrible Scrabble binge, playing promiscuously with friends and strangers online. Once a fever catches you in Scrabble, it's hard to shake. You become misanthropic, savage. Opponents are not merely random Web-based jerks; they are mortal enemies, and the best in life is to crush them, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. Of course I had to turn this beneficent Norvig survey to my dark advantage. So I did, and so too can you. Here goes. Advertisement In Scrabble the frequency of a letter is virtually synonymous with its worth in points. Logically, rarer letters are worth more points, as they're harder to play. Thus you assume the point values of letters rise in tandem, or nearly, with a letter's obscurity. So if you're a Scrabble player, this leaps out at you from Norvig's analysis: While ETAOINSR are all, appropriately, 1-point letters, the rest of Norvig's list doesn't align with Scrabble's point values. HLDCUMFPGWYBV are Norvig's next block; Scrabble's values for those letters go 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 4—clearly more erratic. The upper-value letters then return to harmony with Norvig's findings. Scrabble scores KXJQZ as 5, 8, 8, 10 and 10 points.This potentially opens a whole new system of weighing the value of your letters. The values of Scrabble letters haven't changed in the 75 years since its inventor, Alfred Butts, gleaned what he thought were fair points by teasing out letter frequencies from reading newspapers. But H, which appeared as 5.1 percent of the letters used in Norvig's survey, is worth 4 points in Scrabble, quadruple what the game assigns to the R (6.3 percent) and the L (4.1 percent) even though they're all used with similar frequency. And U, which is worth a single point, was 2.7 percent of the uses—about one-fifth of E, at 12.5 percent, but worth the same score. This confirms what every Scrabble player intuitively knows: unless you need it to unload a Q, your U is a bore and a dullard and should be shunned.Yet it's not quite so simple. Norvig's letter frequency survey combed all the words, even repeats. T and H and E get a major boost in letter frequency for appearing in a word that accounts for 7.1 percent of all usage, but you're not going to play "THE" one out of every 14 turns in Scrabble. What we need is to run a Norvig-style count of letter frequency not as books use words but as Scrabble uses words: as entirely grammar-independent units. For an apples-to-apples comparison, we need a letter-frequency survey of every individual word in the Scrabble dictionary. Sponsored I enlisted a crafty software developer friend of mine named Kyle Rimkus, who in short order managed to pry a Scrabble word list out of the Web and then ground out a letter-frequency count within that sample. Turns out you can build every legal Scrabble word using 1,584,476 individual letters. Kyle then weighted all those 1.58 million letters within the 98-letter game (excluding the two blank tiles, in other words) and assessed how overvalued or undervalued each letter is compared with its existing points.We were hoping to figure, in short, what point values a mathematically fair game of Scrabble would assign to its letters. Here are the results:Letter# Of Tiles In ScrabbleFrequency In All Scrabble WordsPoints In ScrabbleIdeal Points In ScrabbleDifferenceA9120,954110B230,12432-1C264,17032-1D454,873220E12182,743110F220,03043-1G343,537220H236,76442-2I9140,312110J12,674814+6K114,45154-1L484,61012+1M244,85532-1N6106,772110O8103,497110P246,60032-1Q12,5841014+4R6122,468110S4150,216110T6104,045110U452,10912+1V215,42943-1W212,418440X14,761880Y225,87042-2Z17,601106-4A couple of things stand out about this list. The first is, the current system is overwhelmingly spot-on, or pretty close. Nearly half the alphabet is already at its ideal points total, including that big, swinging X. The next is, Scrabble weights its mid-range letters too heavily (B, C, F, H, K, M, P, V, and Y); those letters are proportionally more valuable than they are difficult to play. But in a sense, that stands to reason, if only in that a perfectly fair Scrabble, by points distribution, would have a 14-point J and a 14-point Q. If that were indeed the case, letters that valuable could throw the game completely off its axis, especially given all the multipliers the game incorporates. (Tee off with a double letter score and a triple word score and a single Q or J would be worth 84 points.) Advertisement If we cap a letter's value at its present ceiling of 10 in our ideal Scrabble, then the J is rightly a 9- or 10-pointer instead of its current 8. The Z should be worth 6 or 7. Those 4-point Y's and H's should be worth no more than 3 apiece. Make the single-point L's and U's worth 2 points apiece.But since Scrabble isn't going to issue a game with those point totals any day soon, you should incorporate this knowledge into your overall approach. Get rid of your J and your Q as quickly as possible, because they're just damn hard to play and will clog your rack. The Q, in fact, is the worst offender. Kyle found that in words with between one and five letters, which are the words you're most likely to play, the fair value of a Q should be 18 points. The J gets a bit easier to play, and ideally would be valued at 7 points among short words. God bless "jo" and "qi."Also, you should relish the letters above that carry negative values in the "difference" column, especially the H, the Y and the Z, which relative to the rest of the tiles pay off handsomely for how easy they are to deploy. The language contains more Z-words than Alfred Butts apparently realized, and you can exploit this knowledge. Amaze your friends, raze your enemies.Reply63 repliesLeave a reply

First Lady Attends Hadiya Pendleton Funeral
Hundreds of mourners, including Michelle Obama, lined up on Saturday to pay respects at the funeral of Chicago high-schooler Hadiya Pendleton. Pendleton was a majorette in her school's marching band, which performed during President Obama's inauguration celebration. She was shot in the back just days later. The funeral proved so highly attended that security guards gave out wristbands to attendees, and many were left waiting outside. The first lady's appearance was a humble one; she arrived late and quietly made her entrance through a side door. Her attendance is seen not only as a gesture of sympathy but also one in support of gun control.

The Donor: David Harris
The Gift: Founding CameronHelps
The Cause: Helping to prevent teen suicide
David Harris still has a difficult time talking about his son, Cameron, who committed suicide at the age of 19.
"It has been seven years and I still get choked up," Mr. Harris recalled from home in Toronto. "My life, and our whole family's life, was flipped upside down."
Mr. Harris spent months trying to cope, using running as one way of escaping the pain. During one long run he decided he had to something to help others. "I couldn't just sit back and not do anything," he said.
Together with a group of friends and his second wife, Yvonne, Mr. Harris created CameronHelps, a charity that raises awareness about teen suicide. The group works with young people, using running as a kind of therapy to reduce depression and improve mental health. It has also paired with Hamilton's McMaster University on a research project tied to physical activity and mental health.
Mr. Harris, who works for a construction company, speaks regularly at schools and hospitals about teen suicide. He also plans to run 19 Mississauga Marathons to honour Cameron and raise awareness about suicide among young people (so far, he has completed eight marathons).
CameronHelps also organizes an annual fundraising run on Father's Day. The event pulled in about $15,000 this year and has raised about $60,000 in total so far. Another run is planned for June 30.
"When I finally realized that my life as I knew it before Cameron's death was over, I was really starting a new life and my new life was really going to be about giving back," Mr. Harris said.
"I have said that if I could touch one kid and help that kid in some way so that he would not take his own life, then I could stop tomorrow," he said. "And I know we've done that. I know that if CameronHelps ended tomorrow, I'd be okay with that."

Awesome DIY gloves
3 comments:
This is very cool. I have just ordered myself some conductive thread. Also some conductive foam, because I need to make a new stylus for my touchscreen. And because I am a geek.
I just have to figure out how to alter the signal for a crooked left-arm gesture to signal right turns. I don't like using my right hand because a) it's not what I learned so my muscle memory and b) I don't feel that cars see anything I do on my right side.
Also, we need to have LEDs on the fingers so opposing traffic can see it, too.
Oooh! Project!I would really want to hear if this is better than the lights at
which do not need to be integrated into particular gloves. Of course, either might be inferior to 50 cents of reflective tape. For four pairs of gloves, that'd be about $4. It would also save on knitting and shipping.

ALBANY (AP) – New York's powerful Moreland Commission recommends eliminating the state's Long Island Power Authority and replacing it with a private company.
The commission says LIPA (LYE'-puh) was unprepared for Superstorm Sandy, then inept in its response.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who appoints leaders of the LIPA board, would have to approve privatization.
The commission, created by Cuomo after sharp criticism of utilities in restoring power to more than 2 million customers, issued its initial report Monday.
Under state law, the Moreland Commission can be created by a governor to investigate public concerns.
Cuomo said utilities appeared woefully unprepared for the storm, saying they even lacked a stockpile of power poles to replace those broken by falling trees.

Boomer ,
Be very careful when installing the in-fared heater . Minimum distance from floor to ceiling is 10 -12 feet . If the style you have has an aluminum shield that looks like half an octagon this will project a six foot cube of heat to the floor, (the length of the heater) & also anything in its path. (car ?) In which can cause havoc to your vehicle . I mainly install these in large garages or firehouses where there is substantial heat loss & quick recovery required . Along with the required clearances . If you have the make & model I should be able to send you specs on that unit . But I will attest to one thing they heat the slab very well . Although nothing is better than radiant floor heat . Water temperature in a concrete slab only requires to be set @ 100 degrees by use of a mixing valve if connected to an existing hot water boiler . Too many options , I could go on & on . Hope this was helpful . 55 mole |
My new shop has 12' cielings, otherwise I wouldn't have snagged it. In my original garage I used an air tight wood stove. It would drive you out of there. But it isn't big enough for the new one Boomer |
I'm in Ohio also, I have a propane forced air that stays plenty warm and runs for about 10 to 15 seconds about 3 to 4 times an hour. My shop is about 6400 square feet and is insulated. It's a Modine 250,000 btu. I found it at an auction almost new for $500.
I have the equivalent of a 2.5 car garage that is uninsulated but does have insulated doors. I installed a Reznor 45,000 btuh natural gas space heater that brings the coldest temperatures up to 55 in about 15 minutes. The unit is hung overhead so it is out of the way and has a fan that moves plenty of air without a lot of noise. I control it by a thermostat and when I don't want it to run, I have a switch that shuts off the heater entirely. I also installed two shut-off valves so I can shut off the gas from inside the house or inside the garage. I'm not sure yet what the thing costs to run since this is my first year using it.

Stuff reports:
From John Key's Facebook page to the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and a video of a laser-chasing kitty cat – the man behind Sue Moroney's billboard prank is offering a moving feast of political larrikinism.
This has been hilarious – the latest redirect is to The Civilian,
Last week, Moroney erected an election sign in the Hamilton West electorate with an expired domain name obscured under masking tape.
The masking tape was removed, revealing an obsolete campaign web address from 2008. Someone notified West Auckland IT guy Frank Collingwood, who registered it and began his shenanigans.
"It's their own fault for putting up a billboard with an expired domain name, which can be registered by anyone," Collingwood said in an email.
Collingwood was last in Hamilton more than a decade ago and was not affiliated with any political party in New Zealand, but said the claim the prime minister was behind it was "quite frankly, ridiculous".
Moroney was silly enough to use some old hoardings, and she is blaming the PM for this guy having a sense of humour.
He said the link to Key's Facebook page was "one in a long list of possible redirections" which had gone from the moggy videos to McGillicuddy Serious Party archives posted on Youtube.
The Monster Raving Loony Party was established in England in 1983 by musician David Sutch, better known as Screaming Lord Sutch, who Collingwood said was an "absolute legend" and "superb role model" for politicians.
"I really don't even want any publicity, just seemed a good prank at a time when pollies across the spectrum are taking themselves far too seriously," he said.
I wonder how many other Labour hoardings have the old URL on them, plastered over? One good reasons to not have a different site for every election.

On Jan. 25, 1998, all was right with the world. That was the day the Broncos won their first Super Bowl, over the Green Bay Packers. After the game, I remember standing at a Conoco on Wadsworth, filling the car with gas and listening to car horns joyfully puncture the crisp night air. It was, in a word, blissful.

About a week after the November election, I sat down to lunch with two friends from my days in the legislature, one a former high-ranking AFL-CIO officer, and the other a conservative former state senator.
"Mr. Dillinger, why do you rob banks?" "Because, that is where the money is."
Robbing banks is one thing. But robbing senior citizens, the mentally ill and an organization that serves kids who have endured domestic violence and homelessness? Not even Jefferson County could rise to that level of Grinchliness during the holidays, right?
End-of-the-year lists are filling my in box. Here are a few examples: 10 Things Republicans Don't Want You to Know About the "Fiscal Cliff"; the 10 Worst Ways your Children are Being Poisoned Right Now: vaccines, food, video games and more; and 12 Things You Should Always Haggle Over. There are several best album evaluators. Best films. Best tweets. Well, to me, the best tweet is no tweet at all.

Readers might be wondering why this week's Courier has no stories with local reaction to the massacre in Newtown, Conn. — and that's a fair question.
By Greg Dobbs I was opposed to the fire district's plan to put up a burn building obnoxiously and maybe perilously close to people's homes in Bergen Park. Not that it affected mine — for me it will be out-of-sight, out-of-mind. But in a place like Evergreen, we're all neighbors. So on the behalf of neighbors who would be directly impacted, I did everything I could to prevent it.

In exchange for Barry Sanders, Ndamukong Suh & Calvin Johnson, the Detroit Lions received.......one comp pick.
Will they lose Stafford the Same Old Lions way too?
everything i have read, says he can play any of 3 LB positions. tulloch can only play the MIKE. Te'o is great in coverage and has a nose for the ball. i would not see it being a problem if he came here, position wise
why is having the 3/4 a mandatory move to have teo...Tulloch is not so great that we can't move on from him. I don't care what his contract is we can easily cut him this is the NFL and contracts rarely effect the cap hit. Draft teo, package or cut Tulloch and this defense is better vs. the run already and is better against TE going across the middle. Hell Teo would sniff and snuff out most of these damn screens we see through out the year as well.
We do need to get rid of the wide 9 as our base defense though.

this is not even true...Gunther was in charge of Kansas City's D when they had O'neil and Thomas. Those two men were a dominatine 3/4 NT and 3/4 LB. They played in a 3/4. Schwartz is the man behind the wide 9 and with KVB most likly being gone they will probably scrap that formation. Even now during the games our back up DE's don't line up in the Wide 9 as much.
Everyone is stuck on this running a 3-4 defense if we bring in Teo; but how would you intend to address the DL?
Yes, Suh could come off the edge from time-to-time, but he thrives as a DT (or NT in a 3-4). So if Suh plays the NT in a 3-4, where does Fairley go?
There is no way Fairley could play on the edge consistently. With that said, Suh and Fairley would RARELY be able to take the field at the same time.
In the LB core, Avril could easily move to an OLB tho (if retained)
Manti is 100% what we need! He is the reason we will not trade down in the first round. We will never have to worry about him going to the clink either. Cut Levy or Durant, play Palmer and Te'o at the other position. Manti will earn his spot. Not worried!

Can we trade Tulloch?

I haven't yet used Paula Wright's lovely freebie from Buttermilk Road, so today's "any" freebie gave me the chance. I also added an old freebie tag from Kim Meeder's Terra Collection that I also don't believe I've used before (or maybe once). Other info is in the exif.
Birds that I usually see one at a time in our yard all gathered the other day for what I supposed was a family reunion. TFL!
I really like the paper and elements you used. Great photo and layout!
Love, love, love the blending, the pretty cat tail and the swirls. How funny that they were all there together! I like the reflection that you captured in the photo too.
Such a simple but lovely presentation of this wonderful photo. I love the reflection you caught in the water. It makes the two lines of water fowl look like an arrow pointing to your embellishments on the left! Beautiful texture on the background and the photo.
Oh, I saw this on the Message Board Diane and wondered if it was one of your terrific bird layouts. And, it is. Great photo and wow on the refection - I thought the family reunion was even bigger than it really is. Lovely blending and I really like the swirls and cattail and the creative way you raised and framed your pic. I also really like your title - how clever. You could have a wonderful bird book if you printed all these pages. Super work.
What a wonderful layout, Diane! The simplicity of it lends a beautiful grace to your layout and I love that you've titled it a family gathering! Love the cat tails and the swirls - it's really very elegant and so you!
Fantastic simplicity! Love your background and the way your swirls mimic the background pattern. Super photo and 'oh so appropriate' title!
What a cool photo, I love the reflections in the water of the wings!!! The greens are very nice too!
Wonderful - love the birds. The soft background and the just enough pattern of your checks is great.
Very nice layout! The simplicity in the design is very eye catching!
I knew this was your work without looking closely. You definitely have a great, personal style going, Diane. It's beautiful! Gorgeous color combos here! What a perfect mix of greens of nature- perfect! Fantastic brushwork and that framing brush is inspired. Great texture everywhere I look. Lovely photo and you have set it off perfectly, and capped it with the best title ever! Another fabulous page!

I know that you love sexy, tight assholes, don't you…? But I'm sure there is one thing you love even more – spreading that asshole with my shit!? But this time it's kind of creamy… But I'm sure that's not such a big problem, is it…? 😉

Incredible hot shitting compilation!
Awesome video. The 1st 4 ? minutes are all about me shitting!! I start with a hard turd and then a HUGE soft load. Enormous. Perfect to mix with cookie icing. It had been 3 days since I shit. I even measured it for you!! Then the preparation begins. I mix a can of white vanilla icing with my sweet shit, and spread it on the cookies to make a sandwich, but it was too runny, so I had to add ingredients. Powdered sugar and melted marshmallows. Yummy!! It was about then that I took ?the girls? out for your viewing pleasure. I do have nice tits, don?t I boys? It was time for the blender and a larger bowl. When it is all mixed, I make the shortbread cookie sandwiches. Then after that I froze them and sent them to my auction winners!! I do love my shit loving boys!!

Investors in the U.S. are undeniably uneasy as they get ready to ring in the new year. It's been more than a year since noticeable cracks began to develop in the domestic residential housing market, and while many glass-half-full prognosticators called for a recovery toward the last half of 2007, the best guesstimate most can come up with these days is that 2008 will be more than half over before housing prices even stabilize. Right now, it's anybody's guess as to when they will start to grow positively.
Steady inflation of food and fuel prices is also hitting consumer pocketbooks, making it more expensive to eat and commute, and a weak U.S. dollar puts a serious crimp on traveling and buying goods from abroad. I'll stop now with the gloomy conditions the U.S. faces as we head into 2008 -- partly because my Foolish counterpart to today's round of Dueling Fools is the bona fide bear for the coming year.
What's an investor to do with all the negative sentiment besieging the market these days? Well, for starters, having a contrarian mind-set can be beneficial during periods of market pessimism or downright panic, which is occurring right now in the financial, housing, and retail industries. Sticking close to home, a way to profit from all of the doom-and-gloom talk is to put one of the most famous value-investing quotes to the ultimate test. Another way to fully harness your inner bull as we enter 2008 is to look abroad for investment opportunities.
Use fear to your advantage
Back in October, fellow Fool Sham Gad wrote an insightful article on the origins and merits of being "fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." The message is clear: Buy stocks when the market is falling and sell them when the market is rising -- nothing more than "buy low; sell high."
The problem is, it's difficult for investors to go against the grain, and legendary investor Bill Miller recently mused that "one of the enduring features of the findings in behavioral psychology as it applies to finance ... is the almost complete inability of those who are aware of them to actually apply them."
In other words -- brace yourself -- you may want to start treading in areas of the market where pessimism is highest. That means gravitating toward big banks that are wrapped up in a credit crunch, thanks to overheated housing markets and securities created to allow others to exploit the boom. Certain banks, such as Citigroup and Washington Mutual
Go with the global flow
Mr. Market is definitely subject to periods of excessive optimism and pessimism, but there are plenty of times he is a highly rational fellow. The majority of market economists and strategists aren't predicting an outright recession in the U.S. for 2008, and many are calling for a continuance of a current trend: Markets abroad will remain the engine for global economic growth as the U.S. regains its footing.
There are two primary ways to profit from this trend. The first is to invest in domestic firms that have a high proportion of international sales. Motley Fool Inside Value picks Coca-Cola
The second method is to invest directly in firms abroad, an approach I have become quite familiar with since joining the Motley Fool Global Gains team. Certain global markets are growing briskly and are expected to continue to do so, with Mexican cement giant Cemex
The Foolish bottom line
When the market hands you lemons, make lemonade -- but when the lemonade is on the table, don't be shy to drink it. Domestically, I think 2008 will end up better than most investors are projecting, mostly because there is plenty of downside already built into a number of industries, including financial, housing, and retail.
I expect more of the same with international investments, with emerging markets leading the way; international markets now account for more than half of global stock market value.

#144 "Tales Of The Unshod #9: Foot Wars"
No. Not again. Just as I find a running shoe that I love, keeps me healthy, and look good in...
...they're gone. Discontinued. Enough said on that.
Oh, just one more thing. My current two pairs of running shoes have 2500+ miles each on them. Not sure how much longer they'll hold up, but they still feel okay. It feels rebellious to keep running in a pair of shoes after three to five hundred miles, as associates at running shoe stores have advised me not to do, or I'd end up in traction. Shoe rebel. I like that. But the shoe companies always win out in the end; discontinued running shoes will be the bane of my existence forever and ever and ever. I love hyperbole.
I had a lot of fun drawing this with the tablet and Gimp. I used crayon to color the sky and make the sun. I think it makes a nice mixture. Barefoot Sebastian appears in an
earlier comic
. I'm wondering if Nuduspedum (Latin) is really his last name, or did he change it to that to honor his passion. I have a feeling the talking shoe company buildings will return someday in a future comic.

After briefly touching positive territory early in the morning, the U.S. equity markets struggled with losses all day to end in the red across the board. Slower than expected manufacturing growth offset strong gains in construction spending.
At the close: DJIA: -0.04%, S&P 500: -0.45%, NASDAQ: -0.87%.
On the commodities front, WTI crude oil (NYSEARCA:USO) fell 0.34 percent to $96.90 per barrel. The yield on the 10-year T-note fell 0.014 points to 1.836 percent. Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) futures for June delivery, the most active contract, gained $5.20 to close at $1,600.90 per ounce, while silver (NYSEARCA:SLV) futures for May fell 38 cents to finish at $27.94.
Gold climbed higher as the U.S. dollar index retreated from multi-month highs. The expansion of the manufacturing sector was slower than expected last month. The Institute for Supply Management's index of national factory activity dropped to 51.3 in March, compared to 54.2 in the previous month. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. U.S. Steel Corp. (NYSE:X) fell 4.0 percent on the news.

The increasing Tax burden is one of the most important concerns of CEOs1, driving the adoption of proper internal controls and robust financial reporting processes to satisfy tax authorities, regulators and other stakeholders. At the same time, tax authorities worldwide are concerned with ensuring both increased compliance amongst taxpayers, and that their fiscal policies are not overtaken by global business and economic developments.
PwC is the leading provider of tax services worldwide both in terms of the size and scope of our tax practice and our reputation2. Clients engage us because we combine a strong understanding of their business and economic environments with specialist tax knowledge in hundreds of national and local jurisdictions across the globe. As tax codes become increasingly complex and tax planning more controversial, we help companies to:
The advice we provide to clients is based on our Global Tax Code of Conduct, which guides the way as we help organizations think through the legal basis for their planning and the reputational issues that may result. In difficult economic times when companies are focused on paying their fair share of taxes as efficiently as possible and governments need to collect the maximum amount of tax revenue, we look forward to being a productive participant in these discussions.
We take pride in our role as an essential and productive part of global tax administration and compliance. Our policy specialists advise regulators, governments, corporations, and supra-national bodies worldwide on the technical and practical aspects of developing and implementing tax policy initiatives. We lead the debate with tax authorities and governments around the world, changing the way we all think about tax.
¹ 19th Annual CEO survey
² Senior tax buyers name PwC as their first choice tax provider globally. These results are based on an independent survey of 4,335 primary buyers of tax services globally, conducted by research agency Jigsaw Research (Q1-Q4 2015). Launched in 2014, the Tax Markets Tracker (TMT) is a survey conducted by research agency Jigsaw Research that examines the competitive position of the top firms in the tax advisory market globally. It provides a comprehensive measure of firm position, client service and brand health, gained currently from 4,335 telephone interviews with key decision makers (CFOs and Tax Directors) in 41 key markets. The data has been weighted to ensure that the size of each country's GDP is accurately represented in the survey data.

Perhaps I am the only one who does such things, but one of my favourite mental games consist of imagining the lives of the artists whose works I admire. For instance, in my mind's eye I see the portraitist Kehinde Wiley living in a stately downtown NYC loft where urban-chic meets 18th-century ornate; I'm positive he sleeps in a curlicued four-post bed most befitting of Louis XIV.
Likewise, I've always imagined Alexander Calder to be a wizened, punctilious man who, like his modernist mobiles and stablies, was sparse and reductionist to the very core. He must have worn white gloves as he worked in a medicinally sterile studio where he nitpicked at every dangling shape with a pair of needle-nosed tweezers, demanding that it hang just so from the thinnest pieces of arched wire.
So imagine how shocked I was to discover instead a burly, jovial-looking man hacking away at some Calder-esque object within a cluttered cavern of a workshop, as captured by Herbert Matter in the 1950 film, Works of Calder.
In the Nowness extract, Matter reveals a Calder whose technique and working style differs greatly from the sulking, meticulous artist of my mind. Which ultimately makes me marvel even more at the delicate and deeply considered works created by a man who obviously threw his entire being into exploring the spatial reaches of abstract art.
According to the Calder Foundation, the film (which originally made its debut at MoMa in 1951) will be shown this fall in its entirety via calder.org. It's been said that Calder tended to mount his mobiles and smaller jewelry pieces without soldering them together in the traditional manner of a metalsmith; here's to hoping the rest of the film shows exactly how he achieved such feats without being obviously neurotic...

Re: beginner question about syntax
AK, Whenever Mathematica seems to be doing something nonsensical (based on what you are seeing on the screen,) then FullForm[] is your friend. What you see in your notebook are expressions formatted to be human- readable. FullForm[] lets you see the structure that Mathematica is actually working with. In[14]:= FullForm[a] Out[14]//FullForm= a In[15]:= FullForm[a + b + c] Out[15]//FullForm= Plus[a, b, c] Mathematica expressions are always in the form of head[elem1, elem2, ...]. Of course, you may not see that structure explicitly unless you use FullForm[]. The function Map[f, expr] applies f to each element on the first level in expr. Looking at the FullForm of a, you see that a has no first level (it is all head), thus there is nothing to Map f to. Plus[a,b,c] has the head Plus and three elements (a, b, and c) at the first level, so f gets mapped to them. Hope this helps, Daniel

[SHIMMER] During early April, SHIMMER Women Athletes, LLC signed an agreement with TNA Entertainment, LLC, which permits TNA contracted talent to appear on SHIMMER live events and the DVD series. Though TNA talent may appear on the initial run of each Volume of the DVD series, the matches involving TNA talent cannot appear on SHIMMER DVD titles in retail. As a result, when the time comes for the retail release of SHIMMER footage filmed after the agreement was signed, those matches featuring TNA talent will not be included. At that point, the retail DVD titles will cease to be full Volumes, and will simply become compilation DVDs of matches from several Volumes, minus the matches involving TNA talent. This will obviously make the first run of each DVD title more valuable, as they will become the only method of seeing the complete show.

Note first that in the original sentence, you should have used "every day" not "everyday".
When you changed it to "On a regular basis", you changed the meaning. The original sentence was quite clear that successful sales were made every day.
"By telephone" is much better than "via the telephone".
