Hot on the heels of US customs imposing an International Trade Commission ban on select HTC devices we have yet another exclusion order from the ITC, but this time around it's Microsoft winning their patent claim against Motorola.
The patent in question dates back to 1998 and relates to scheduling a meeting with a group using a mobile device and having that event sync across mobile devices and PCs. As with many of these claims this sounds like fairly ridiculous feature to be able to patent, but the key is always in the exact implementation of the feature so it's possible that Motorola will be able to come up with another way of handling the function (that is the tactic HTC employed in their case).
As you may recall from the HTC ruling this exclusion order doesn't have any immediate ramifications for consumers as first the order goes to President Obama, who has 60 days to overturn the ruling should he so desire. My understanding is that the likelihood of this is just slightly higher than the next iPhone running Jelly Bean. Motorola also indicated that they may seek to appeal the ruling which would further delay an actual ban being put in place.
For Motorola the immediate repercussions are that they must pay Microsoft 33 cents per device during the 60 day review period with the President. A per device licensing fee is one of the potential resolutions to this matter and likely the option that Microsoft would prefer considering they are already pulling in licensing fees from the majority of Android manufacturers.
With Google finally receiving the necessary approval in China for the Motorola acquisition there may well be a different legal team at the helm for this matter by the time the 60 day review period is up — whether that will result in a different strategy going forward is anyone's guess at the moment, but we'll be keeping a careful eye on this one as the summer progresses.

DA wants unusual DWI case reopened
District Attorney Susan Reed has requested a new special prosecutor be assigned to reopen the case against the son of a high-ranking employee whose driving-while-intoxicated case was dismissed with little explanation.
Reed filed the paperwork late Wednesday, citing in part media scrutiny of how the Truman Biggs case was handled.
Biggs — the son of Adriana Biggs, chief of the district attorney's white-collar-crimes division — was arrested during Fiesta last year after two Breathalyzer tests registered a blood alcohol level of 0.17.
That is more than twice the limit for those of drinking age. Police also noted finding a half-empty can of beer in his vehicle.
He was 18 at the time.

The case was handed off to local defense attorney Charles Bunk, a former district attorney's office employee who agreed to serve as a special prosecutor at the request of County Court-at-Law No. 6 Judge Wayne Christian.
Bunk dropped the case in December, his only explanation in court documents being the phrase "interest of justice."
Bunk initially declined to discuss the case with San Antonio Express-News columnist Brian Chasnoff, who exposed the arrest and dismissal earlier this month.
"Recent scrutiny by the news media of Charles Bunk's actions has caused great controversy concerning the way this case was handled," Reed wrote in the court filing. "The entire purpose for the policy of having the district attorney's office remove itself from a case ... is to avoid just exactly the situation Mr. Bunk's actions have created."
Adriana Biggs couldn't be reached for comment Thursday night, but previously has denied any involvement or influence over her son's case.
In an interview Thursday, Reed said she waited days before filing the request to see if Bunk might give a reasonable explanation as to what "interest of justice" meant as other media outlets followed up the story.
"I haven't done anything on this case — I haven't influenced it in any fashion," she said. "The public seems upset, and consequently I'm doing what I can to try to eliminate that. I am as unhappy to see an 'in the interest of justice' dismissal as the next guy."
Bunk, reached Thursday, acknowledged that in hindsight, a different explanation would have caused less grief. But "interest of justice" has been used for years, he argued. Reed disagrees.
"It is absolutely not a situation where the case was dismissed because I used to work for Susan or Adriana," he said, citing his treatment by Reed in her comments to the media and in the court document as evidence they are not close.
In actuality, he said, the case was a pretrial diversion program of his making similar to ones found in most other counties, but not locally. Reed has recently conceded that a young adult pretrial diversion program, used by other special prosecutors as well, is something the county might benefit from.
In Truman Biggs' case, he was ordered to take a DWI education class and attend college full time for a semester — with Bunk checking to make sure his grades were good — before the case was dropped, Bunk said.
Bunk also mirrored similar statements that have previously been made by Biggs' attorney that the case was "questionable" because of dashcam video of his field sobriety tests.
One officer could be heard on the video telling another, "I'll be honest, I think it's a stretch," as they discussed whether or not to arrest Biggs, according to previous reports. But that officer had far less experience with DWI arrests, Chasnoff has reported.
"I told (Biggs' lawyer John Kuntz) I thought there were legitimate concerns," Bunk said of the video, adding that he still didn't want to drop the case outright. "In any other county, that (pretrial diversion) is what would happen. I think it's unfortunate we don't have an opportunity like that for all kids in Bexar County."
In the court filing, Reed asked for "a competent attorney who is from the Texas Attorney General's Office, an elected prosecutor from another Texas county or an attorney who does not practice criminal defense law in Bexar County."
Her office filed a similar request for an outside attorney on Monday for Travis Randoph Gotthardt, the son of a district attorney's office investigator who was arrested early Saturday for DWI.
In the past when requesting that the attorney general's office take over a misdemeanor case, Reed said she has been met with rejection due to budget constraints. As a result, Reed said Thursday she hopes next legislative session to push a law that would ban local attorneys from being appointed in the future.
Reed acknowledged she has never before requested a special prosecutor to reopen a predecessor's case. But it should be possible, she said, explaining there is no double jeopardy attached to the case because it never was officially filed in the first place. Her office frequently reopens cases after they have been dismissed for reasons such as a missing witness, she said.
Judge Christian, however, isn't so sure.
"We've got some legal research going on as to what we can and cannot do," he said, explaining that he hopes to have an answer within the next 10 days. "It's a very unusual case, so we're taking it to the AG's office and some legal scholars."
He declined to discuss specifics of the case.

College of Arts & Humanities
John McKenzie
Emily Knott
The latest admitted into the program are history major Emily Knott, of Boiling Springs, and John McKenzie, of Simpsonville, who is majoring in political science. They will spend the fall 2012 semester in Washington working on Capitol Hill or at other government-related assignments.
To qualify, students must meet certain academic requirements and submit to a rigorous application process that includes a written essay and an interview by members of the Honors College selection committee.
Knott is Lander's first female student and the first non-political science major to apply. She was attracted to the program by her strong interest in history and the historical nature of the nation's capital. As for why she decided to major in history, she said, "I like learning about the past." She's hoping for an assignment at the Smithsonian Institution or one of its affiliates.
A member of Lander's Honors International Program, Knott spent a semester at the University of Winchester in England as part of Lander's Study Abroad program. In May, she will be among a contingent of Lander students and faculty headed for Thailand for a summer camp to teach conversational English to Thai college students.
In addition to her studies, Knott is a tutor in Lander's Academic Success Center.
Knott said, after she graduates, she plans to get a master's degree and maybe a doctorate in public history and archiving.
John McKenzie said he applied for the Washington internship because of the prestige and responsibilities it offers. He is a sophomore and, after graduating from Lander, he wants to attend law school and specialize in corporate law.
McKenzie, who stands 6 feet 2 inches tall, is a soccer player who was home-schooled. In his senior year in high school, he played for two months on a team in Athlone, Ireland, his father's hometown, before an injury took him out of action.
His father, Aidan, is a former professional soccer player and chaplain for Major League Baseball's Milwaukee Brewers. Today, he is an evangelist who leads Reconciliation Ministries Inc. in Greenville. The younger McKenzie has accompanied his family on a four-month ministry trip to Australia, and he has spent time with a religious group in South Africa, where he worked in a soup kitchen and played soccer. He has also traveled in Germany and France.
A student worker in Lander's Information Technology Services department, McKenzie said he hopes that his Washington assignment will be in the office of a U.S. senator.
The internship, which is part of Lander's Honors International Program, is a paid position and, in addition to earning course credits, McKenzie and Knott will have front row seats to witness the workings of the federal government. Most interns spend a semester working in the office of a member of their state's congressional delegation. They also can sample cultural opportunities available in the nation's capital when they are not working or attending evening classes.
The five other Lander students accepted into the Washington Semester internship are: Jeremy Babb, of North Augusta; Andrew Willis, of Williston; Ty Grogan and Conner Lewis, of Greenwood; and Ryan McNulty, of Jacksonville, Fla.

Pelosi's wary view of Putin
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's take on Russian President Vladimir Putin's New York Times op ed?
"It is what it is. I mean, Vladimir Putin is not in a strong constitutional democracy where people have their say so he comes here and has his say, but it has to have some fidelity to fact," the California Democrat told a news conference.
She was asked if it was frustrating that Putin may be the United States' negotiating partner.
"I mean, (Syrian President Bashar) Assad is a part of the negotiation, too, and he is, I think, clearly a monster who would gas children in his own country that he wants to preside ove," she said.
Pelosi pointed to Putin's remark that he doesn't want the United Nations turning into another League of Nations.
"I thought that was interesting, because one of the reasons the United Nations has not been effective, say for example in Syria, is because of the fear of a Russian veto," she said. "Even initiatives that others have tried to propose that would, say, condemn the use of chemical weapons, they have not been willing to sign on to.
"So, part of the strength of the U.N. is the fact that it has a strong Security Council. Part of the lack of success is that Russia and China too frequently use that veto power. But what I have found interesting was the closing. He says when we pray to God he judges us all. I don't know exactly what his words are, but he says that we are all God's children. I think that is great. I hope it applies to gays and lesbians in Russia as well."

If it's her, I think she would actually prioritise paying Hayate's debt off first before hers in this particular case. That or work even harder. I'm not saying it's the smartest thing to do, but it's awfully straightforward, like her.

It's also a logical fallacy to assume that Ruka can do it easily simply because she is an idol. Idols are not multi-billionaire celebrities on the same calibur as solo artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. In Korea and Japan, they're a dime a dozen that have to answer to the agencies that manage them as well as all the middlemen such as the record companies. Idols may make more than the average salarymen, but they're not as rich as you think.
This is not something where you can claim one of them moral superiority.
And FYI, considering Hayate is obligated to stay with Nagi because of the debt, regardless of his personal feelings of compassion or loyality, Ruka telling Nagi to pardon the debt or give it away does in fact imply giving up on Hayate (at least to Nagi).
On a side note, apparently Hata released a (non-h) doujin named Sore ga Seiyuu! EX for Comiket 83.

It's not like when Isumi (or Nagi) did it. Isumi can do it out of petty cash. Ruka can't.
So Nagi's giving her more of a fighting chance than she needs to. She could refuse to sell the debt at any price. She could insist of Ruka coming up with the money somehow. Instead she's giving Ruka an opportunity to win the necessary money with a contest that most people would think Ruka's overwhelmingly more likely to win.
Not to mention, she forced Hayate out of his denial regarding Ruka's feelings.

And nobody is saying Ruka will do it easily. However, in the manga, the characters themselves comment that Ruka CAN pay off her debt if she works hard enough; either as an idol or mangaka.
And FYI , I never said Nagi couldn't refuse to hand over the debt to Ruka. I found her saying 'if you lose, give up on Hayate' to be the WTF portion of the bet.

Just so we're all clear here, Nagi does in fact have money like that to give away, right? or is she just going to forgive Hayates debt?

Does Nagi still have money like that to give away? IIRC, she had 20million yen left for buying the apartment and she never really gained any more substantial amounts of money from that.
And it's not really clear on the bet. Ruka says she will take on Hayate's debt if she wins while Nagi says there's 150million riding on the bet, which doesn't preclude the scenario that Ruka's betting terms are to transfer the debt over to her.

And once again, you don't seem to understand that Ruka also implied Nagi should give on Hayate as well. Neither girl is being "nicer" than the other about it.

Nice words you're using there, like 'provoked'. I somehow suspect you just don't like Ruka. And when did Ruka imply Nagi give up on Hayate? Nagi feels so because deep down, she feels Hayate is with her for the debt, but there's no indication Ruka feels so.
And state the negative consequences for Hayate if Ruka wins her bet

But that's not the point. The point is that I don't see why you feel to blow Nagi's actions to be some sin when it's clear that Hata is pushing these two girls against each other to compete for their feelings. Whatever morals you want to push onto others while on top of your slanted pedestal was never important. I merely played the devil's advocate to present the notion that what Ruka is doing is not ideal to others either, and you became defensive, bringing something as irrelevant as personal opinion that has nothing to do with what happened in the story.
Once again, neither Nagi nor Ruka bear any hostility toward each other. You apparently know Ruka so well, but remember that Nagi is the one who told Hayate to take Ruka's feelings seriously and encouraged him to help out Ruka, her opponent. Then there was the manga arc where it's clear that they are friends and how Nagi greatly respects her.
Neither one of them was thinking about how they could hurt each other. The point was that they just want to take (or keep) the man they love. The fact that you believe if one of the two girls will allow some indecisive double dipping when the entire goal of this silly competition is to reach a decisive conclusion to the romance appears more hypocritical to me than what either of the two girls had said or done.

Found this car in an ad that listed it as a 83 Cutlass, black & silver. Called them and asked questions and realized it was a Hurst Edition. Got cash and took my trailer 110 miles and was able to get it. I had bought one of these when they were new and always regretted selling it. This one is original / unmolested in quite nice condition for its age.
This is my 1987 Monte Carlo SS I built. It took about a year to build at home in my little two car garage.
I shaved the door handles, fixed some small dents and painted it. Installed a 1994 fuel injected LT1 with a 4L60E trans. Added a K&N cold air intake, Headman headers with Pypes X pipe exhaust system and a little computer programing.
307 V8 performance package (similar to that of the Monte Carlo SS). Auto trans with performance shift.

In addition to non-count nouns and unchanging nouns, there are several different types of irregular plurals which follow a pattern in the English language.
bacterium = bacteri a
medium = medi a
curriculum = curicul a
Certain words do not add a letter to the end, but instead change the word itself. These words simply need to be memorized. Some examples include:
The best way to learn and understand irregular plurals is to practice speaking the English language, to read a great deal, to pay attention to words and phrases that you see and hear and to assemble a list of words with irregular plurals so you can begin to understand how to make each noun plural correctly.

In a nondescript office building in Norcross – one you may not be able to find without your smartphone's map app – work is going on that could blaze a new trail for the next generation of online maps.
In fact, to hear Hexagon Geospatial president Mladen Stojic describe it, his company is trying to help enterprise customers determine more than just their exact location in the world. And it's doing so in a very entrepreneurial manner with hackathons, revenue splits with developers, and a startup mentality.
"We're not about what , but what is and what can be and how things change," Stojic told Hypepotamus. "We now live in a dynamic time where things can change so fast, people don't have and are not equipped with the necessary tools to be able to shape that change and influence it in a positive way."
Hexagon Geospatial's tools start with the Smart M. App , an applications platform launched last summer that combines data from a wide array of global sensors with business workflows and data analytics. "Everything we've done with Smart M. App is to synthesize big data with location-based analytics to effectively deliver on-demand context, specific information services that basically solve industry problems," Stojic said.
Those problems include figuring out how many police should walk a beat in a particular precinct at a given time of day to bring down crime rates, or helping agriculture businesses make the best use of weather patterns and soil moisture to maximize crop yields.
Think of Hexagon Geospatial as a startup within Hexagon AB, a Swedish company with $3 billion in annual revenue that trades on the Stockholm NASDAQ. (Stojic's division is based in Atlanta because of previous acquisitions, including some core earth-mapping technology spun out of Georgia Tech in the 1970s.) That may explain why Stojic has corporate carte blanche to try some different tactics, such as a contest for developers called IGNITE that will give away a total of $260,000 to those who can build enterprise-ready apps on the Smart M. App platform.
Hexagon Geospatial is also offering developers an App Store-like Exchange for selling their products, with programmers getting 70 percent of the proceeds. Hexagon can also help with marketing efforts. Stojic's company begins its outreach to the developer community in earnest with its first workshop scheduled for Feb. 18 in New York City.
Other companies have also tried contests and hackathons to win over developers. "What's different about this is that we're not just doing this for technology's sake," Stojic said. " It's about changing the economy and empowering a whole new ecosystem for a new generation of developers who are accessing tools and things online all the time, who are quick developers, and they're entrepreneurs. They want to make a difference. We want to tap into that vibe."
Hexagon Geospatial taps into a rapidly growing list of business partners , including Airbus, Amazon Web Services, Ordnance Survey (the United Kingdom's official mapping agency) and others providing content, strategic services and technology.
Its data sources start with satellites that can be tasked to look at any given position on earth more than once a day. Hexagon then adds airborne sensors and drones that it manufactures, along with vehicles equipped with cameras for street views and 3D data.
"We also have handheld devices for capturing accurately the location of a given object or feature or individual, and can assign some information to that," Stojic said. "We can also go inside of buildings and measure things inside, we can go underground and we can go below water. So, from space to ground to underwater, we have the ability at Hexagon to capture reality. "
Street-view cameras on cars sound a lot like Google, which has done its part to transform digital mapping to include crowdsourced traffic data and integrated satellite imagery. With its own formidable R-and-D department and deep pockets, isn't Google a potential competitor? And what about government agencies that might want to take this kind of mapping/analytics in-house?
"Google has done wonderful things with Google Maps and ventured out into Google Earth," Stojic replied, but recent business decisions have moved the company away from the professional market. "It's that location-based service which is still a primary target of Google's. It's not our target. We're really going after information services that consumers in different industries use beyond figuring out where to go."
Meanwhile, government budgets have been slashed since the 2008 recession. "If you would have asked me 10 years ago, I would say absolutely we're competing. But now they're coming to us," by asking if they can outsource those services to Hexagon Geospatial, he added.
Stojic's company doesn't break out his division's numbers, but he will say it employs about 300 people and that his growth and revenue targets mirror those of the parent company. He credits Hexagon AB's CEO Ola Rollen' with the necessary acquisitions and restructurings to focus on innovation.
"We were created to change the game," Stojic said. "We need to be not only 12 months ahead of the market, but we need to define the market. What we've established with Smart M. App is only the first step in that direction."
We deliver an outdoor experience that inspires people to gather around and share in the warmth of an open fire.

Butler scoring leader Rotnei Clarke, who has missed the team's last three games because of a neck injury sustained Jan. 12, returned to practice Thursday and could play Saturday vs. Temple, the team announced.
"Rotnei saw a spine specialist again this morning and everything looks stable and he has no symptoms, so he was cleared for full contact," said Butler trainer Ryan Galloy said, per a news release. "We will evaluate him again tomorrow (Friday) and then make a decision about Saturday."
The ninth-ranked Bulldogs have been without their leading scorer since he sustained a severely sprained neck after crashing head-first into a padded basket support Jan. 12 at Dayton. Clarke is fifth in the Atlantic 10 in scoring (16.3 points).
He left the Dayton game midway through the first half, but Butler (16-3, 3-1) went on to win 79-73. The Bulldogs then defeated Richmond and No. 8 Gonzaga last week at home without Clarke before losing 54-53 Wednesday night at La Salle as Clarke missed his third straight game.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander (35) leaves the baseball game against the Texas Rangers in the third inning
Jim Cowsert, Associated Press - Ap
Rangers rock Verlander, give Darvish 10-4 win
- Article by: SCHUYLER DIXON
- Associated Press
- May 16, 2013 - 11:01 PM
ARLINGTON, Texas - Geovany Soto ended Justin Verlander's night with a three-run homer that capped a seven-run third, and Yu Darvish lasted eight innings even though an anticipated pitching duel fizzled in the Texas Rangers' 10-4 victory against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night.
Soto's drive just over the wall in left field came after Verlander walked in two runs — he had three previous bases-loaded walks in his career. Mitch Moreland's two-out double broke a 3-all tie before Soto's drive put Texas ahead 8-3.
Darvish (7-1) won his fifth straight decision despite allowing two home runs for the third start in a row. Baseball's strikeout leader needed a career-high 130 pitches and matched his season low of six strikeouts.
Verlander (4-4) gave up six hits with two walks and three strikeouts in 2 2-3 innings, his shortest outing since going two innings in a 14-6 loss to the New York Mets on June 22, 2010.
The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young winner had allowed just four earned runs in four previous starts at Rangers Ballpark. It was actually the second time in Verlander's last 16 starts dating to last season that he's allowed eight runs, his career high. He did it in a 9-8 loss to Kansas City last August.
Right after the Texas outburst, Darvish gave up a homer to Jhonny Peralta, but retired 15 of the final 16 Tigers he faced, including the last 10.
Two nights after hitting two home runs in Oakland, Moreland had two doubles and three RBIs and pushed his batting average to .296 less than a month after he was hitting .157.
Darvish ran into trouble first when five of the first six Detroit hitters in the third inning reached, starting with Don Kelly's first home run of the season into the lower porch in right field. Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez had sacrifice flies to put the Tigers ahead 3-1.
Verlander, the AL's strikeout leader the past two years, gave up consecutive singles to start the first and third innings. The Rangers scored just once in the first, but the right-hander couldn't survive the third once his control escaped him.
After Verlander hit Ian Kinsler with a curveball to loaded the bases, Elvis Andrus walked to score a run before Lance Berkman struck out on check swing on a pitch so high it bounced off the bricks behind home plate and came straight back to the catcher Kelly. Adrian Beltre walked to tie the score, and the hits from Moreland and Soto came after one of three strikeouts by Nelson Cruz, who hit his 11th homer.
Between them, Verlander and Darvish threw 74 pitches in the third inning and allowed 12 base runners and 10 runs. It wasn't quite the duel fans expected in Arlington's most anticipated pitching matchup since Nolan Ryan beat Roger Clemens 2-1 in 1989.
NOTES: The Rangers landed in Texas about 1:30 a.m. Thursday, following an afternoon game in Oakland after their charter flight was diverted to Albuquerque, N.M., because of severe storms in the Dallas area. At least six people died after tornadoes struck Granbury, about 50 miles southwest of Arlington. ... The Tigers sent RHP Al Alburquerque to Triple-A Toledo to work out issues with his control. He has 26 strikeouts in 14 1-3 innings, but has walked 13 and thrown six wild pitches. RHP Evan Reed was called up and made his major league debut in the sixth. ... Rangers C A.J. Pierzynski (strained oblique) took batting practice Thursday and could go on a short rehab assignment starting Sunday. He's eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday. ... Kinsler tied the Rangers record held by Rafael Palmeiro with his 54th hit by pitch when Verlander plunked him on the shoulder with a curveball.

Description of Course:
When Beowulf slew Grendel or rode out against the dragon he did so as a hero facing monsters who were clearly distinct from himself as obstacles to be overcome for his glory. Beginning with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, we see monsters such as Victor's creature, vampires and zombies, not as obstacles but as the central occupants of our stories, as the focus of our interest, fear, and sometimes envy, and as reflections of society and ourselves. After all, why do zombies flock to the mall? Intended to introduce students to the connections between various fields of studies in the humanities, this section of HUMA 1301 will apply an interdisciplinary approach to viewpoints concerning monsters and monstrosity. This semester the course theme will be discussed by examining the rich dialogue between myth, verse, fiction, film, and pop culture. Now featuring an even larger zombie horde!
Required Texts:
Seamus Heaney, trans., Beowulf
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
Bram Stoker, Dracula
John Gardner, Grendel
Selected zombie fiction will be available via e-reserve. Films, such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, The Wolf Man (1941), and Night of the Living Dead, and selections from other films such as Frankenstein (1931), Blade Runner, and Bram Stoker's Dracula will be incorporated in the course; in addition, the course will consider excerpts from such television shows as The Walking Dead. The course will utlitize eLearning and students are encouraged to submit video, articles, short stories, or other works related to the course theme.
Course Requirements/Evaluation Criteria:
Two exams
Short essay
Project on a chosen monster

Thats not strictly true. Spokes like any long thin steel wire/rod have very hight tensile strength and negligible axial compression strength and bending stiffness. Shear strength should be approximately similar to tensile strength.
Shear strength of spokes is half that of tensile strength, now this is far more than the resistance to bending but still not the same.
human909 wrote:Reman wrote:Low tension causes these shearing and bending forces, usually around the hub flange where most spoke breakages occur.
Not really. Low tension causes unloading and loading of the spoke which then rubs, bends and fatigues. Its the fatigue that is the problem not the bending or shearing which is SIGNIFICANTLY lower that would cause breakage.
Fatigue caused by the bending and shearing...

Branching Out Milwaukee: Mary Jo Salter on Marianne Moore
A prim and proper representative of the avant-garde. A private, single woman who lived with her mother, counted many (misbehaving) great writers as her friends, and famously influenced the course of American letters. A modest person who saluted boldness. A city-dweller who was a close observer of animals. An artist who embraced science. A punctilious failure at punctuation. A writer of prose that sounded like poetry and of poetry that sounded like prose. A woman writer revered by male writers in her lifetime, when women were often dismissed (at least until they were properly dead). And finally, a markedly original craftswoman with one foot in the 19th century into which she was born, and another foot in our 21st century and beyond. Marianne Moore's achievement abounds in paradoxes which continue to fascinate poets and readers today.

Actress Kristin Bauer Van Straten has turned painter to create a special portrait of her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer to raise money for an anti-animal poaching charity.
The TV star has been using her fame to draw attention to the horrors of elephant and rhino ivory poaching in Africa and recently traveled to Kenya with her husband, South African musician Abri van Straten, to film a documentary about the controversy.
She has been doing all she can to boost funds for the Out of Africa charity and she recently picked up a paintbrush to show off her art skills, convincing her pal Moyer to pose in character as vampire Bill Compton for the piece of art.
Bauer van Straten shared a photo of the finished work with her Twitter and Facebook followers on Wednesday (05Dec12) and the painting is now set to be auctioned off on Saturday (08Dec12).
Moyer even signed the canvas and posed with the portrait in a picture on Facebook to help boost bids for the item.

But hardly anyone has had the impact on as wide a variety of fronts as Ann Flatten, who is moving to the Phoenix area to be near her daughter and son-in-law, Karen and Rick Langhart. On Monday, a cross-section of the community gathered at the Lost Dog Bar & Lounge to send her on her way with heartfelt thanks and a "come visit soon" affair. It was organized by Mary Barter, Sally Bellerue, Lou Falkenstein and Marilyn Sandstrom.
Flatten, who's in her early 80s, had a notable career as a teacher and principal in Southern California before she and her late husband, Orris, moved to Durango. In our corner of the woods, she put that experience to good use. She has volunteered with Durango School District 9-R in areas such as serving on the search committee for a new superintendent, which recommended Barter. Barter commended Flatten for her intelligence in the matter. Flatten also supported Nancy Heleno and the founders of Mountain Middle School as they put their plan together.
But more than that, Flatten has shared her wisdom with those of us outside the education system. She worked on the League of Women Voters of La Plata County's education position in 2002, was an indispensable member of the national League of Women Voters' study on the role of the federal government in education in 2011 and consulted on education issues many times.
In 2008 and 2012, Flatten combined her interests in education with her commitment to civic engagement, working with The Durango Herald to publish and distribute LWV's newspaper, Electing the President. But she didn't stop there. Flatten worked with Durango, Bayfield and Ignacio high schools to educate them on the importance of registering and voting, and the process of electing a president. Then she helped DHS students elect their student council and register to vote if they had turned 18.
Throw in being an election judge and presenting information about ballot issues to assorted organizations, and – much as I hate folks "interpreting" what the Founding Fathers had in mind – she would be their role model of an engaged citizen.
Then there's her commitment to the arts. Flatten served on the board of directors of Music in the Mountains for a number of years, including an influential stint as president, when she made Music in the Mountains Goes to School happen. (I wrote about that program in my Wednesday column.) With the change in movie theater ownership last year, Flatten worked hard to keep the live high-definition broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera available here, and she has been a familiar face at the Durango Film festival.
Flatten has also lived her belief that women of all income levels should have access to good health care by serving as an escort at Planned Parenthood. And I'm running out of space to include details on her contributions to the American Association of University Women, but they include helping found and lead its Edouard Book Club.
Flatten is so much more than a list of accomplishments. She has modeled generosity of spirit and motivated people to come together to get things done.
Perhaps the only thing she couldn't do was to break the logjam to get Denver television broadcast here, but since even Colorado's senators have failed to convince the Federal Communications Commission to budge on the issue, I'm going to give her a pass on that one.
A number of people helped pull together this portrait of Flatten's involvement here, including Sandstrom, Ellen Park, Falkenstein, Mary Ruth Bowman, Tiffany Parker, Lee Conger, Marilyn Brown and Stephanie Huss. Thanks to all of you.
I told someone at the gathering that I want to be just like Flatten when I grow up, and the more I've thought about it, the more I've realized I don't have a prayer of reaching that goal. So the best I can do is hope that reading about her inspires someone else to attempt to reach such heights.
Godspeed, Ann.
These folks celebrating their birthdays are going to have a festive weekend, what with Father's Day and all – Art Gesh, Sue Griffith, Carol Salomon, Sylvia Kehle, Kay Cooley, Nick Dudley, Ryan Ehrig, Lia Neergaard, David Jackson, Stewart Leach, Nancy Brown, Vicky Moreno, Katie Hotter, Yvonne Portell, Jigger Staby, Amber Lashmett-Levine, Jack Morrison, Chris Scott, Clay Siekman, Sharon Watkins, Arnold Trujillo, Erin Hamlin, Dylan Baken, Diane Curtis, Pauline Ellis, Jill Simplicio, Allison Betts, Ann Duft, Diane Diiro and Janet Williams.
Congrats to several area schools that participated in the Pennies for Patients fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Bayfield Middle School students, working with teacher Janae Hunderman, raised more than $570. In Ignacio, the elementary school, working with Keri Ostergaard, raised about $444; the intermediate school brought in $759 with the help of Jennifer Diethrich; and the high school, thanks to Lynn Blakesley, came up with $416.
In Durango, four schools participated: Escalante (almost $810, thanks to Sharee Erickson) and Miller ($41, with Tiffany Mapel) middle schools; and Fort Lewis Mesa ($448 with Autumn Frickel) and Riverview ($560 thanks to Doug Geygan) elementary schools.
They were among 502 schools in Colorado and Wyoming that raised more than $472,000 to beat blood cancers. Those 47 million pennies weighed more than three airplanes.
Who says pennies are worthless?

Phra Narai Ratchaniwet
The palace was built in 1665 and 1677, when King Narai the Great decided to make Lop Buri the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Although the buildings were designed by with the contributions of French architects, the Khmer influence was still strong.
Wat Sao Thong Thong
Situated on Rue de France, to the north of Phra Narai Ratchaniwet, this western style viharn was believed to have originally been built by King Narai the Great as a church for Christian envoys. It was subsequently restored by King Narai the Great, who ordered the replacement of Thai windows with Western-style windows with Gothic-designs in the secondary chapel. Later on, the viharn was converted into a Buddhist temple. It contains a large seated Ayutthaya-style Buddha image. In addition, assorted Lop-Buri style Buddha images can be found on the surrounding walls.
Wichayen House
The Vichayen House was built at the royal command of King Narai the Great. It initially served as a residence of Chevalier de Chaumont, the first French ambassador to Thailand during the reign of King Louis XIV.

Jeejing's presentation will form part of a session on Thursday, April 29 dedicated to industrial applications of process analysis. Malvern will also participate in the associated trade exhibition.
Particle velocimetry, exemplified in the Parsum inline particle probe (IPP70) from Malvern Instruments, is a technique that is suitable for measuring particles in the size range 50 to 6000 microns, travelling at velocities of between 0.01 and 50 m/s. This makes it ideal for monitoring processes such as granulation, spray drying, fluidized bed and particle size reduction.
The importance of granulation in pharmaceutical manufacturing is well established, where it is used widely to improve the flow properties and consistency of tableting blends, as well as for other properties. High shear (or wet) granulation delivers high throughput and dense, uniform, dust-free granules, but its optimization can be challenging. Continuous monitoring offers a valuable approach.

Let's Discuss Rihanna's Unapologetic
And the plane nightmare.
Believe it or not, Rihanna is not flying around in a plane just to torture journalists. Unapologetic, her seventh studio album in as many years, is out this week, and with it comes all the thorny questions about Rihanna and her ex-boyfriend and forgiveness and whether anyone but Channing Tatum should be allowed to appropriate "Pony" in 2012. Let's break it down, shall we?
Does Rihanna have a sincerity problem?
As you will have gathered from the title, Unapologetic is an act of defiance and Rihanna's messy attempt to sort out her feelings about her famous ex and her public image. She sings specifically about the assault and its aftermath; the overall tone is moodier. At the same time, she's inviting her abuser back onto her album (for the second time in a year); she's trotting him around on interviews; she's describing her songwriting process like this: "It's gotta be tweet, retweet, trending topic!" It is Rihanna's right to turn her life into music, of course, and if everyone else can make money off her situation, then so should she. But does the opportunism undermine the sentiment? Or does the "don't give a fuck" attitude excuse promotional gambits, too?
Has "Diamonds" grown on you?
It's currently No. 2 on Billboard and will surely topple Maroon 5 in the next couple of weeks — but Vulture will admit that it took us a few weeks to come around on "Diamonds." Really, it took until that Kanye remix, because the Tay Zonday shout-out was weird and hilarious. How long has it been since Rihanna herself did anything that fun?
… except for "Nobody's Business," of course. Why? Why that song?
This is, without question, the best guest appearance on Unapologetic (sorry, Future). Eminem, what happened? Couldn't you have given us something else to focus on? Made this whole experience a little easier?
Did Rihanna ask Channing Tatum's permission to use "Pony"?
We refer, of course, to "Jump," which is Rihanna's Zeigeist-y dubstep take on the Ginuwine classic. It is a very good song. It should have been Channing Tatum's song.
Unrelated to the music, but: Why didn't Rihanna just get on the damn 777 PA system?
You'll have heard about the #rihannaplane, which flew 200 journalists and fans to seven cities in seven days with the promise of exclusive access to the singer. "Exclusive access" turned out to mean "ten minutes spent watching Rihanna pour Champagne all over a jet, followed by six days of tour hell," which the reporters probably should have seen coming — but it does not change the fact that when the plane staged a revolt, chanting "Just one quote" and "save our jobs," Rihanna did not even bother to wave from first class. Nor did she throw the finger at the press before going to hang with the fans on the plane, who signed up for the trip because they actually like Rihanna. She apparently did a catwalk down the aisle as they landed in New York. So, uh, maybe it was just a safety thing?

The Islamic Optimist
In the Footsteps of the Prophet: Lessons from the Life of Muhammad
To Be a European Muslim
Western Muslims and the Future of Islam
Islam, the West and the Challenges of Modernity
The Heirs of the Prophet Muhammad and the Roots of the Sunni-Shia Schism
No one would deny that the Prophet Muhammad is one of the most influential men in human history. Of all the founders of world religions, he is also the most controversial. Unlike the Buddha and Christ, he not only founded a new religion but created a theocratic state, with all that entails for the idea of a divinely constituted moral order.
The story of Muhammad's life has a long but problem-filled history. The first of many Muslim accounts was written by one Ibn Ishaq who died in 767 CE, 135 years after Muhammad's death. By then the Muslim armies had long defeated the Persian Empire, wrested control of Palestine, Syria, and Egypt from the heirs of Constantine and Justinian, and established a fragile imperium that stretched from Iberia to the Indus Valley. The Arabian prophet whose exemplary life and preaching inspired this astonishing series of conquests was already famous, and his biography came supplied with many of the supernatural details that adorn the lives of other holy persons.
The text of the Koran, the "discourse" or "recitation" that is said to contain the exact words dictated by God to Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel, is supposed to have been fixed by Uthman (r. 644–656), the third caliph, or successor to Muhammad's worldly power. It may provide some clues to Muhammad's biography—but they are only clues. The text is not arranged chronologically, and tends to be highly allusive and elliptical. There are few extended narratives comparable to those in the Bible: Muhammad's auditors were evidently familiar with the materials in his discourses, which include stories and themes from the Hebrew Bible and the Midrash (biblical commentaries), stories about Jesus similar to those that are found in some Gnostic sources, and stories about Arabian prophets and sages who do not appear in the Judeo-Christian literature. The Muslim exegetes—many of whom were Persian converts to Islam and far removed culturally from Muhammad's Bedouin milieu—were inspired to reconstruct the Prophet's biography in order to understand the holy text, in particular the allusions to events in the Prophet's life or "occasions of revelation." There is a sense in which the Koran's textual history conforms to Muslim piety: far from Muhammad being its "author" the Koran is, in a literary-historical sense, the "author" of Muhammad.
To their credit the earliest scholars of this new religion (a rejuvenated version of Hebrew monotheism, with Midrashic, Christian, Gnostic, and Arabian colorings) were meticulous in recording and documenting variant versions of the oral histories they researched in order to reconstruct the Prophet's life. The process of canonization was remarkably transparent given the circumstances. The scholars were working under social, political, and cultural conditions that differed radically from those that prevailed during the Prophet's lifetime. Each tradition, or hadith, was traced to its source in the Prophet or one of his companions through a chain of oral transmitters that were rated according to their reliability and ethical standing.
While some modern scholars have adapted methodologies from biblical studies to pick…

Hi guys! Let's talk skincare. It's the heart of winter right now, and I had noticed my skin being a bit out of it - a mix of dry patches and some breakouts. The cold + dry air tends to do that to me, and at some point at the beginning of the new year I almost always notice that my skin just needs a bit more effort put into it. However, deep-rehydration wasn't enough. Instead, my skin needed a kick up the butt to get it back to where it needed to be: exfoliating and rebalancing. I'm not someone who sticks to a couple of holy grail products, I like to switch it up since I get to try out so many different things as a beauty blogger, so watch me delve into my stash and experiment to help my skin get its groove back.
my skin at its worst - my skin after the skincare revamp

The design of packed bed reactors is often challenging, requiring much experimental trial and error to investigate kinetics, heat transfer and fluid flow in order to come up with a final reliable design.
Until recently, resolving particle scale geometries has prevented CFD from assuming some of this experimental workload. This webcast highlights a fully automated process for modeling, meshing and simulating packed beds of arbitrary complexity using DEM (Discrete Element Modeling) to fully resolve the geometry of the packed beds. Participants see how this new approach acts as a perfect complement to existing experimental techniques, allowing researchers to quickly consider the influence of various trial and error scenarios, so that only the most promising solutions need to be submitted for experimental testing.
One of the unique benefits of such spatially resolved simulations is the detailed insight into packed bed reactors. For example, the local velocity may be analyzed to highlight regions of locally accelerated flows, or to detect zones with stagnant or backflow. Based upon these findings, attendees learn new ways of how an efficient optimization can be performed.
This webcast explores this automated DEM-based approach to creating CFD simulations of fully resolved packed beds, including a discussion of how the approach has been extensively validated.

by Yelsew Foolface April 06, 2005
Proof that voting on American Idol is obviously rigged. This ugly ass chimpanzee-looking woman is by far the worst singer in America. When she cries, more water than Niagara Falls flows down her face. Her lips give the impression that she overdosed on collagen injections. This ugly fat can of busted biscuits can not sing and only won the contest because she is a Single Black Mother. Whenever she sings she sounds like a cat being strangled to death and throws her fat ass all over the place. Who knew jeans could fit over an ass that big? If she had not have won, she and "The Revs" Al Sharpton} and Jesse Jackson} would have used the oldest excuse in the book, Racism. Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, & Paula Abdul all must have been on drugs when they sent Fantasia's fat ass to Hollywood.

1985 KSC Men's X-C Team Holds 25th Reunion
by Stuart Kaufman
They might have been a few years older and a few pounds heavier, but their smiles were just as wide and their sense of accomplishment just as strong as it was 25 years ago, when they defied the odds by finishing third at the NCAA Division II cross-country championships in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
Members of the 1985 Keene State men's cross country team held a runners' reunion at the KSC Invitational on Labor Day weekend. They once again proudly held their NCAA trophy and reminisced about a team that wouldn't be denied its place in Keene State athletic history.
"It's exciting to see some of these guys again," said Scott Clark '88, a Gilmanton native and longtime coach at Saint Bani High School. "We were all so young then, and it was an important time in our lives, both academically and athletically."
Several members of the 1985 cross-country team got together at the KSC Invitational meet in September to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their historic NCAA showing. With Coach Peter Thomas were team members Steve Fortier, Rodney Viens, Scott Clark, Mike Casner, Christian Maitner, and Tom Anderson.
The 1985 Owls will be remembered for their accomplishments on the trails and the camaraderie they forged. "That team was special, not only for our finish, but also because we were just a bunch of country boys from New Hampshire and Vermont who overcame a lot of adversity," said Alstead native Steve Fortier '86.
"We worked our tails off in practice," said Rod Viens '89, originally from Claremont and now residing in Grantham. "We had a great group of guys. Everyone got along and we pushed each other."
Losing All-American Tom Anderson '88 to a season-ending injury just brought the team that much closer. "They didn't let that deter them," said KSC coach Peter Thomas. "Everyone picked up the slack and ran even harder."
Rallying together, the Owls dug down and had impressive showings in many meets that included several Division I teams. They saved their best for last with their improbable finish at the NCAA championship. "It just proves what can happen when people are committed to one another and share the same vision of accomplishment," said Fortier.

Is There a Form for That? An Introduction to Commonly Used Exporting Forms for Your Small Business
Is There a Form for That? An Introduction to Commonly Used Exporting Forms for Your Small Business
If you're a small business owner interested in exporting – or are already navigating the international arena – you know there's a lot to get organized. The resources available from Export.gov can help you with all the stages, from training and market research to information about financing. Export.gov also offers a wealth of information about documents that are used in exporting. Here's a rundown of a few of the most common.
Common Export Documents
Commercial Invoice: A commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer. Governments often use them to determine the true value of goods when assessing customs duties.
Export Packing List: An export packing list features much more detail than a standard domestic packing list. It lists the seller, buyer, shipper, invoice number, shipment date and more. It also itemizes quantity, description, type of package (such as a box or crate), the weight and even more details.
Pro Forma Invoice: An exporter prepares a pro forma invoice before shipping the goods. It lets the buyer know the goods to be sent, their value and other key information. It also can be used as an offering of sale or price quote.
Transportation Documents
Airway Bill: Airway bills are required for any airfreight shipments and are shipper-specific. For example, USPS, Fed-Ex, UPS, etc. have individual airway bills
Bill of Lading: A bill of lading is a contract between the owner of the goods and the carrier. A straight bill of lading is non-negotiable. A second, negotiable type is known as a shipper's order bill of lading. This can be bought, sold or traded while the goods are in transit. The customer usually needs an original as proof of ownership to take possession of the goods.
Electronic Export Information (EEI): This is the most common of all export control documents. It's required for shipments above $2,500 and for shipments of any value requiring an export license. It has to be electronically filed via the AES Direct online system, which is a free service from Census and Customs. If you're shipping to Canada, you don't need an EEI unless an export license is required.
Export Compliance
Export Licenses: An export license is a government document that authorizes the export of specific goods in specific quantities to a particular destination. Some countries require an export license for most or all exports; others require it only under special circumstances.
Certificates Of Origin
Generic Certificate of Origin: Some countries require a Certificate of Origin (CO) for either all or just certain products. In many cases, a statement of origin printed on company letterhead is sufficient, although some countries require that it be notarized. You should verify if a CO is required with the buyer, an experienced shipper/freight forwarder or the Trade Information Center.
Check out Export.gov for more information about these and more, including documents required for shipping specific products and destination-specific requirements. You can also visit Business USA's Exporting Portal for additional resources.
