It's amazing how quickly lawns green up in the spring. Since our lawns are comprised of cool season grasses, it isn't long between the time the grass greens and the time we are out mowing the lawn. With all the rain we have had recently, I have found myself having to mow twice this past week!
Since mowers have been sitting idle all winter, now is the time to do some simple maintenance. If you didn't drain your oil in the fall, change the machine's oil to prolong the life of the motor. Now is also a great time to sharpen your mower's blades. A sharp blade helps to keep the cut even and not frayed. When you do remove the blade from the mower, make sure that you remember how you took the blade off. You'd be surprised at how easy it is put the blade back on upside down! I even made that mistake once. Blades can be sharpened at home, but it's fairly inexpensive to take the blade to your local hardware store to get sharpened.
When cutting the grass, the correct height for cutting is 3 inches. There are several reasons why to cut your grass at this height. Grass root length tends to mirror grass blade length. If we have a dry spell, the longer grass will stay green longer without watering because the roots extend deeper into the soil.
Another reason to keep your grass longer is that a 3-inch grass height reduces the amount of mowing required. A general rule of thumb for cutting grass is to cut no more than one-third of the blade's total height. This reduces stress on the plants, keeping them green, healthy, and disease-free. If you cut your grass at 1 inch, you would need to mow again when your grass is 1 and one-third inches long. If the grass is cut to 3 inches, you can grow your grass to a height of 4.5 inches before needing to mow again.
Finally, research has shown that taller grass is better able to out compete weeds. Fewer weeds in the lawn mean less weed killer needed and/or less time spent pulling weeds from the lawn!

LOUIS (AP) -- David Backes and Andy McDonald broke a 42-year-old franchise record by scoring 6 seconds apart early in the first period, and the St. Louis Blues went on to a 5-1 victory over the slow-starting Anaheim Ducks on Monday.Backes scored at 3:53 when he sneaked down the left side after an Anaheim turnover and fired in David Perron's centering pass. T.J. Oshie won the ensuing faceoff at center ice, got the puck back from Patrik Berglund in the high slot and fed it to McDonald near the left circle.McDonald beat Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller with a wrist shot at 3:59 to make it 2-0.The two goals in a 6-second span broke the previous club record of 7 seconds apart set by Don McKenney and Frank St. Marseille on Jan. 24, 1968, against the Minnesota North Stars.(Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press.

It's tough top watch a film where you see children trying to make it on their own with no one to take care of them. Just when I though the story of the hardship was getting too dragged out, the story kicks in. Perfect timing. Tough film to watch, but a solid story, which is what I wanted.
Bruce J - Customer Review
I saw this film at the Flyway Film Festival in Pepin, Wisconsin. In a film festival it is possible to go from film to film, but this film moved me so that I needed to take the rest of the afternoon off to digest it and I didn't want to dilute the experience. Very well executed, well plotted, and extraordinary performances from the very young cast all in service of an important story.
Angel - Customer Review
Amazing movie. The children were perfectly believable and endearing in their roles. I hope this is not the last we see of them because they definitely have talent.
JCkw - Customer Review
One of the best movies I've seen in the last 20 yrs.Engaging,inspiring,enlightening ! So much going on,carried by some wonderful child actors.

I was expecting a rickroll
You just lost all my respect!
And damn, was that video cute
Huh, a drumroll. Neat.
what can I say? my school sucks.
I didnt feel compelled to try and get past the firewall for a potential rickroll.
TCCH Curriculum staff?
Wtf kind of a category is that :/
Which most fans of GTA probably would not like.
So thats why I chose it >=D
I love my GTA but I also love Taiko no Tatsujin to a much lesser extent, but nevertheless is it awesome cute drums ftw.
I love both Taiko no Tatsujin and GTA, although I'l choose GTA over Taiko no Tatsujin
They should make a crossover xD
Don and Katsu stealing cars = funny =P
SOMEONE needs to photoshop this!!!!!!
LOL instead of drum sounds, you have the sound of police, people being run over and gunshots!
Why can't GTA be as cute as that? I WANT A FUCKING CUTE GTA~!
EDIT: maybe GTA chinatown wars will be cute...
I have seen screenshots and it isnt ;_;
I have played it and it isnt ;_;

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has published a final order on the proposed National Sorghum Checkoff and will begin collecting assessments on July 1, 2008.
National Sorghum Producers (NSP) President Dale Murden is optimistic about the role a checkoff will play in the sorghum industry's future. "Now is the time to invest in sorghum," said Murden. "A National Sorghum Checkoff will leverage private industry investment, while partnerships with public and private research and development operations will help bring technology to our fields."
Lloyd C. Day, administrator of USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) commented on the next steps in the process of implementing a national checkoff. "Now that a final order has been published, a certification process will begin for organizations to become eligible to put forward names for the National Sorghum Checkoff Board," said Day.
"USDA will then start accepting board nominations from these organizations and the Secretary of Agriculture will appoint directors to serve on the National Sorghum Checkoff Board."
The many positive results of a national checkoff will be the fruit of a focused and consistent effort directed by strong leaders. "We ask that sorghum producers help us find qualified candidates for a national board and encourage those producers to serve our industry," said Murden.
The Sorghum Promotion, Research and Information order will collect 0.6 percent of net market value for grain sorghum. For sorghum forage such as hay and silage, the assessment will be .35 percent of market value and will only be collected from first handlers who purchase more than 5,000 tons per year.
NSP CEO Tim Lust said NSP will work proactively with sorghum handlers and producers to provide an efficient transition to a national checkoff. "Our goal is to make this as smooth a process as possible. We invite people to call our office if they have any questions."
The NSP Board and sorghum producers nationwide have worked during the past two years to establish a National Sorghum Checkoff. Within three years, producers will have the opportunity to vote in a referendum. "NSP looks forward to working with the National Checkoff Board to help solve industry problems and increase sorghum profitability in producers' fields," says Murden.
NSP represents U.S. sorghum producers. The organization works to ensure the profitability of sorghum production coast to coast through legislative representation, market development, research and education. To learn more about NSP, visit www.sorghumgrowers.com.

On Monday, February 17, NBC's popular Tonight Show returned to New York for the first time in 42 years, with Jimmy Fallon as the new late night host (joining the ranks of such legends as Steve Allen, Jack Parr, Johny Carson, and Jay Leno). Broadcast in New York City from 1954-1972, The Tonight Show moved to Burbank after its first decade with Johnny Carson as host. Jimmy Fallon has brought the show back to New York, with a set by veteran theatrical scenic designer Eugene Lee, who created a miniature wood-carved skyline of Manhattan. "I think it's Eugene Lee's masterpiece," says Lorne Michaels, the show's executive producer, who has worked with Lee in the past on episodes of Saturday Night Live.
Ferri Lighting Design & Associates designed and installed the new lighting for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in NBC Studio 6B. Fred Bock, who has worked on numerous NBC shows at 30 Rockefeller Center, was lead designer. Bock also designed the lighting for U2's rooftop performance seen on the show's February 17 debut, working closely with Mike Baldassari, from Mike-O-Matic Industries, and Chris Landy, formerly the lighting director for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
The lighting rig is primarily Clay Paky for the new band space on The Tonight Show, with A.leda B-Eyes, Profile 800s, and Sharpy Wash units. The lighting rigs were supplied by WorldStage, with Drew DeCorleto serving as account executive.

Sunderland are set to complete the signing of Fiorentina left-back Marcos Alonso on loan for the rest of the season as manager Gus Poyet finally gets the chance to conduct some emergency repairs to his squad.
Poyet's side remain bottom of the table despite picking up four points from their two games over Christmas, a 1-0 win at Everton and a 2-2 draw at Cardiff City, and Poyet will hope the arrival of Alonso will be the first of several signings.
The Uruguayan is interested in signing Aston Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia, although the player's wage demands are a stumbling block, and would also like to bring in a striker.
Alonso, who impressed Bolton Wanderers in the Championship last season, has already had a medical on Wearside and will complete his move when the window officially opens on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old began his career at Real Madrid, but moved to Bolton in 2010, leaving Lancashire on a Bosman-style free transfer last summer to play in Italy, but his first team chances have been limited.
Poyet has made it clear to Sunderland's Director of Football, Roberto De Fanti, he only wants players who have experience of playing in English football and expects others to arrive in the next few weeks.
Although money is tight, Poyet has been given a small budget to spend and will also look to sell fringe players to raise extra funds before the window shuts. He will also try to exploit the loan market.
Even though Sunderland signed 14 players in the summer, Poyet has argued for weeks that most of the players brought in are not good enough for the Premier League. Although De Fanti remains in charge of recruitment, Poyet has warned he will quit if he has players forced on him.

Every rapper's writing process is different, but Lupe Fiasco's may be more involved than most MCs in his class. The astute lyricist did a great deal of reading to help him prepare to record his upcoming Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Part 1. On his reading list were Howard Zinn's "The Bomb" and Stephen Pimpare's "A People's History of Poverty in America." The latter inspired Lupe's next single, "Lamborghini Angels."
The track won't be out until about the third week of August, after the Muslim fasting period that Lupe is currently taking part in. Still, that didn't stop the Chicago spitter from delivering an a cappella preview of the song when he visited "RapFix Live" on Wednesday. The track's title may suggest something flashy, but the verse of "Lamborghini Angels" that Lupe previewed talked about the specific inequalities that women faced in the 1800s. "Literally that's the anecdote that went down in the book, 100 years ago. I was like, let me make a rap out of that," Lu said of the bars that he spit. "It's really like, Oh, you're a woman in the 1800s and you want to go to school? You're crazy and we're sending you to a mental asylum to get a lobotomy."
It was a memorable day for the MC, who later in the show broke down in tears after he, "RapFix" host Sway Calloway and Queens, New York, rapper Nature watched a 2006 clip from MTV's "My Block" series in which a young Lupe took Sway on a tour through his west side Chicago 'hood.
The trip down memory lane proved to be too much for Fiasco, who started to cry after seeing old footage of friends who are now either locked up or in a grave. It was a very touching moment. "Chicago's the murder capital. The dudes in that video are in prison, a couple of fed cases, and then there's ghosts. You see people that, that ain't there," he said, sobbing, hiding his tears behind his round-rimmed shades. "To see that so real, it hurts, bro. I ain't gonna front. It hurts; it hurts a lot to speak to ghosts."
Check Lupe Fiasco's verse to "Lamborghini Angels" below:
"With her eyes to the ceiling and a needle to her brain/ She looks back into the crowd, wipes the blood and then explains/ How she slipped from this existence to the realm of the deranged/ Her becoming must be halted to reverse what she became/ From the looseness of her tongue, to the pollution of her aims/ To do nothing is barbaric, the solution is humane/ You must destroy the mind and hopefully retrain/ You torture out the wildness, then replace it with the tame/ Blank slate when she recovers, she won't even know her name/ Perfect wife and perfect lover, no resistance, no complaints/ My God bless the scientific cure for the insane/ Knew that she shouldn't go to school, but she thought that that should change."
What do you think of Lupe Fiasco's "Lamborghini Angels" verse? Let us know in the comments!

Rock Avalanches
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Natural Hazard Science. Please check back later for the full article.
Rock avalanches are very large (> 1 million cubic meters) landslides from rock slopes, which can travel much farther across the landscape than smaller events; the larger the avalanche, the greater the excess travel distance. Rock avalanches first became prominent in Switzerland in the 1800s, when the Elm and Goldau events killed people a surprisingly long way from the origin of the landslide; these events first posed the "long-runout rock-avalanche" problem. In essence, the long runout of these events appears to require low friction beneath and within the moving rock mass in order to explain their extremely long deposits; but in spite of recently intense research, this low friction still lacks a generally accepted explanation. Large collapses of volcano edifices can also generate rock avalanches that travel very long distances, albeit with a different runout-volume relationship to that of non-volcanic events. Compounding the puzzle is the presence of long-runout deposits not just on land, but also beneath the sea and on the surfaces of Mars and the Moon.
Numerous studies of rock avalanches have yielded some consistencies of material and behavior, for example, that little or no mixing of material occurs within the moving debris mass during runout; that the deposit material beneath a meter-scale surface layer is pervasively and intensely fragmented, with fragments down to sub-micron size; that many of these fragments are themselves agglomerates of even finer particles; that throughout the travel of a rock avalanche, large volumes of fine dust are produced; that rock avalanche surfaces are typically hummocky at a range of scales; and that there are definite trends in plots of runout distance against volume from rock avalanches in different environments.
Since rock avalanches can travel tens of kilometers from their source, they pose severe, if low-probability, direct hazards to societal assets in mountain valleys. Compounding this is their effect in the triggering of extensive and long-duration geomorphic hazard cascades.
Although large rock avalanches are rare, magnitude-frequency studies show that the proportion of total volume involved in large events is greater than the proportion in small events, so that a large proportion of the total sediment generated in mountains by uplift and denudation originates in large rock avalanches. Consequently, large rock avalanches exert a significant influence on mountain geomorphology by, for example, blocking rivers and forming landslide dams; these either fail, causing large dambreak floods and intense, long-duration aggradation episodes to propagate down river systems; or remain intact to infill with sediment and form large valley flats. Rock avalanches that fall onto glaciers often result in large terminal moraines being formed as debris accumulates at the glacier terminus, and these moraines may have no relation to any climatic change. In addition, misinterpretation of rock avalanche deposits as moraines can cause serious underestimation of hazard risk and misinterpretation of paleoclimate; for example, a deposit 28 km long in Kyrgyzstan was originally thought to be of glacial origin, but it is now known to be a rock avalanche caused by coseismic failure of a mountain slope.
Rock avalanche runout behavior poses truly fundamental scientific questions, and rock avalanches have important effects on a wide range of geomorphic processes. Better understanding of these awesome events is crucial for both geoscientific progress and for reducing impacts of future disasters.

Buyers of motors in the Dodge brand will receive immediate support when using our website for price reviews and other questions before order processing.
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) May 30, 2014
Buying a motor from a retail establishment in the auto industry can be one long process for a consumer searching for specific brands available. The Preowned Engines company has created a new program to market its discount prices on the Internet. A 2010 Dodge Dakota 4x4 used engine inventory markdown is now in effect at http://preownedengines.com.
This change in the listed MSRP price through the company website will apply to the two base motors used in the Dakota from 2010 forward. The 3.7 V6 and 4.7 V8 are included in the price drop and this is an exclusive benefit strictly for U.S. buyers. The trim levels of Laramie, ST, Lonestar, Bighorn and TRX are compatible with the motors available.
"Buyers of motors in the Dodge brand will receive immediate support when using our website for price reviews and other questions before order processing," said a sales manager from the Preowned Engines company website.
The Dakota 4x4 engines for sale from the used inventory now online are eligible for more than a price markdown. Different changes to long-term policies that affect consumers this year are improving customer relations.
"An engine shipping program has removed any third party freight agency fees from all processed orders to make shipping a used motor free when ordered through our company," said the sales manager.
The PreownedEngines.com website has been arranged this year to make contacting support agents at the company call center easier. The access to the national phone line and auto database of prices are now configured for users of the website to benefit.
About PreownedEngines.com
The PreownedEngines.com company is continuing to support sales of discounted vehicle components through its national inventory now posted on the Internet. The company practices for obtaining used condition inventory have been updated this year. The PreownedEngines.com website remains a competitor in the industry due to new tools that immediately help consumers discover warehouse pricing. The offline support provided by phone now takes place through a toll-free line dedicated strictly to consumer phone calls.

The Indochina Bulldogs are seeking a new logo and jumper. Can you help??
Ross McRae of the Vietnam Swans has details of the competition which you can win – if you're good enough.
Over the past few months, there has been a movement for getting an Indochina All Stars team together for the AFL's International Cup in 2017. Last August, the Indochina Cup was played between the Thailand Tigers, Vietnam Swans, Cambodian Eagles, Laos Elephants and… the Myanmar Fighting Cocks. This is an annual tournament.
1. Create an original Indochina Bulldogs logo.
2. Create a playing jumper
Take reference from Western Bulldogs, past or present.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cba3yj1x4x3ygkx/template_comp.psd?dl=0 <-psd template
Includes: gif and eps formats: country flags, AFL Asia Logo, guernsey template (to be used for final)
A. 1 or 2 designs, (if 2 then try and make them very different.)
B. Use the supplied guernsey template/outline for your final. It is important that all are designs are treated as equal as possible and not on the flashy template or software used. Do not use shading, unless it is part of the design, (ie. overlay). Request additional file formats if required.
C. Must use the AFL ASIA logo
D. Represent Indochina, either as a whole or each country.
E. Winner(s) accept that Indochina Bulldogs have the full use and right of the design(s) chosen.
F. Winner(s) will be announced on Bigfooty forum and AFL Asia website.
G. Winner(s) will provide all original artwork for use, and will accept any editing that might be required.
You don't have to do both, you can focus on the logo only or the jumper…or even team up.
Can include additional supporting detail imagery if required to showcase your design.
Can include descriptive paragraph to explain your design(s) as part of your entry.
You don't have to use the flags, they are just there for reference, just remember Rule D.
Colours can be the generic shades, does not need to be reference from the flags, you don't even have to use all of them, just remember Rule D.
It is okay to submit your entries on one image as long as you use the template/outline design.
There is no issue if you rework old designs and redirect it to the Indochina theme, just follow the above conditions, but they must be yours and not another designers.
Images(s) to be uploaded to this forum. So you will need to register if you are new.
Not completely locked in, as requires full agreement, but one signed jumper from the team. But to begin with full recognition on websites, AFL ASIA, FB and other write ups when relevant.
Extra bonus if you ever travel to any of these countries as you will receive the full hospitality of the players, unless you already live there.
Players and Reps from the Indochina Bulldogs.

One Response to "Indochina Bulldogs – Jumper and Logo Design Comp"
Hi Guys,
Darren Whitfield has just sent me the link regarding a new shirt for the Bulldogs but I see the closing date is today!
We are AFL Asia's preferred supplier of teamwear.
If you have good designs already then let me know when you have selected the winner and we can quote for making the jumpers etc.
If you want us to think of a design let me know but I don't want to "tread on toes" if you have budding designers in the region.
Just for your information, at our Hong Kong factory we have professional staff who can take "sketch" designs and turn them into the sort of images that can be printed.
Let me know if you need our help!
Kind regards
Nick Moynihan

Terry faces a criminal trial in July from the incident that led to him being stripped of the England captaincy.
Ferdinand was spared having to decide whether to shake Terry's hand before an FA Cup match in January after the Football Association allowed the sides to forgo the traditional ritual.
But the league will not scrap the handshake when Chelsea hosts QPR at Stamford Bridge on April 29.
"It's not a handshake that says everybody loves everybody else," league chief executive Richard Scudamore said Tuesday. "It's a handshake that says, 'For the next 90 minutes, let's just play a game of football.'
"It's nothing more symbolic than that, which is why in our view they should continue. Period."
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was forced to apologize last month after refusing to shake Patrice Evra's hand in their first meeting since being banned for eight matches for repeatedly directing a racial slur at the Manchester United defender in a match.

Among the usual roster of snipers and run-and-gun soldiers, Overwatch has some of the most imaginatively designed characters we've seen in a shooter for some time, and a fair few of these can be found under the Offense category of heroes. Some of these characters specialise in obliterating the enemy with a combination of speed and burst damage, for example, while others take a more tactical approach to combat.
Regardless of how they choose to get the job done, all of these characters are designed to work well in a pretty broad variety of team compositions - not to mention across a wide variety of maps and game modes. When you're queuing up for a solo match with a handful of random strangers, however, then it's safe to say that some picks can have a much bigger impact on the outcome of battle than others.
For starters, you can't guarantee that someone will provide solid Support, for example, which means that Heroes who possess amazing mobility and self-sustain abilities become a very appealing pick. You might also have to think beyond your own team composition too. If your teammates are struggling to break through the enemy's front lines, then Heroes like Reaper and Tracer allow you to take matters into your own hands and eliminate a particularly stubborn threat very quickly. In maps with plenty of wide open spaces, Pharah can be used to devastating effect. A flexibility approach to Hero choice is vital, in other words.
To help you pick out a Hero that can make a significant difference as a solo soldier, we've put together our ranked list of who we believe are the best Offense heroes in Overwatch as of the latest patch. We'll update this article every single month, taking into account the most recent balance patches, as well as the prevailing mood in the current metagame, and the opinions of the pros. Let us know your own picks in the comments section at the end of this article!
EDITOR'S UPDATE: Season 11's still hot off the press and Wrecking Ball's competitive debut is just on the horizon. With this in mind, we thought it better to delay a big update to this page until he's made his mark on the competitive scene. Things are likely to change, and we'll update this page once the meta's been shaken up - keep this article bookmarked for all the latest!
In terms of the meta right now, we're seeing a little more of McCree now that he's received a buff to his long range damage. Pharah, Genji and Soldier still remain solid picks too.
Offense hero rankings - Season 11
|Sombra guide
|Doomfist guide
|Tracer guide
|Reaper guide
|McCree guide
|Genji guide
|Pharah guide
|Soldier: 76
|Soldier: 76 guide
8. Sombra
While Sombra brings a very unique set of skills to the game, such as hacking health packs and enemy abilities, she's yet to make a real dent in solo queue. As of late, top Overwatch teams have started to pick up on her disruptive abilities, even centering their play around her EMP ability. Still, this shows she's an extremely situational pick only really meant for coordinated teamplay.
Unless Blizzard give her a buff, we don't see her moving up our tier list anytime soon.
7. Doomfist
Doomfist's ability to one-shot enemies with a devastating punch and send them flying into walls is unmatched. What's more, he's incredibly mobile, able to leap around the map and smash things with his fists at the same time. His versatility comes at a cost, and that's just how unforgiving he is to play effectively. Overshoot the runway with your Rocket Punch and you'll be left stranded in the midst of battle. Don't forget that he's essentially melee only, so you have to get up close and personal 90% of the time with a pretty small health bar.
Doomfist really is a high risk, high reward hero and that's why he's not occupying a higher spot in our overall tier list for now.
6. Tracer
While she's extremely tricky to play, a Tracer on the rampage is a thing to be feared indeed. She can have a devastating effect on the shape of a match - particularly given the current strength of burst damage - but you need quick wits to make the most of her in situations that are often extremely frantic.
Even Tracer's Ultimate - though very powerful - requires nimble reactions and aiming skills if you're to get the most out of it. Still, her ability to tear apart both turrets and tanks alike make her an incredible asset to any team - assuming she's being wielded in the right hands, of course...
It also takes a little bit of practise to combine her mobility with precision aiming, so do yourself and your future teammates a favour and go and smash up a few bots before joining the solo queue!
5. Reaper
Reaper fills a very specific role in the game, roaming around the map and picking off targets who never see him coming. He does his best damage when he's up-close and personal with his victims, chipping through their health shot after shot.
This is a hero that will suit people with a fairly broad knowledge of the other characters in the game, as his sneaky teleportation skills allows him to reach defensive enemies that would otherwise be hard to pick off. Played right, Reaper is a walking (floating?), talking game-changer in his own right. The recent tweaks to his kit in the latest patch have seen his pick rate soar, mainly because he's now an effective tank buster who can slip away from most situations unharmed. He's also less challenging to play than most other offensive heroes, but could still have a bigger impact than them in his current state. In other words - watch your back.

4. McCree
McCree packs an extraordinary punch when played on just about any team, although he does suffer somewhat from a lack of strong emergency mobility options. You'll also need very sharp reflexes to pull off his stun/flurry combo with any degree of accuracy. Note that a recent buff to his Deadeye on PTR may affect his ranking on this tier list in the near future.
3. Genji
If you really and truly know what you're doing with Genji, then you could change the course of a match, but his skill ceiling means he tends to fair less well against other Heroes in this category. What's more, in this current meta, his 'harass' style isn't that effective against all the health and armour being thrown around.
2. Pharah
Pharah's ability to rain rockets from the sky make her an obvious choice for maps that don't restrict her amazing mobility. She's able to flank from almost anywhere and it makes her a very hard, frustrating target to take down if you're on opposing team. We recommend getting to know the maps extremely well before heading into battle with this hero, as you require a large degree of spatial awareness if you're to have her aerial bombardment skills make a significant effect on the battlefield.
1. Soldier: 76
Some find Soldier: 76's combat style just a little too vanilla to get all that excited about, and it's certainly true that he's not exactly the most imaginative character on the roster of Overwatch Heroes.
This grizzly marine is more than just a run-and-gun soldier though, and the extra healing support that he provides his team with can be enough to salvage a really rotten engagement. The fact that he can also sprint back into battle nice and quickly makes him a very versatile offensive force to be reckoned with in the solo queue.

Judges: Michel, Clevenger (author), Gajarsa
[Appealed from S.D.N.Y., Judge Chin]
In Scanner Technologies Corp. v. ICOS Vision Systems Corp. N.V., Nos. 07-1399, 08-1081 (Fed. Cir. June 19, 2008), the Federal Circuit reversed the district court on its inequitable conduct holding regarding U.S. Patent Nos. 6,064,756 ("the '756 patent") and 6,064,757 ("the '757 patent") (collectively "the patents-in-suit"); vacated the award of attorneys' fees; affirmed the holding that claim 1 of the '756 patent is obvious and that all claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid, given a stipulation between the parties that the case would be tried on representative claim 1; and affirmed the district court's holding that ICOS Vision Systems Corporation N.V.'s ("ICOS") product does not infringe the patents-in-suit.
Scanner Technologies Corporation ("Scanner") holds an exclusive license to the patents-in-suit, which are directed to a system and process for three-dimensional inspection of ball array devices positioned in a fixed optical system. ICOS developed a ball array device inspection product ("CyberSTEREO") that implemented a two-camera system to measure coplanarity of solder balls on circuit boards. The CyberSTEREO replaced ICOS's older inspection product, the ICOS Projector, which had been on the market before the effective filing date of the applications for the patents-in-suit.
While the applications for the patents-in-suit were pending, and upon learning that ICOS had launched the competing CyberSTEREO product, Scanner submitted a petition to make special to the PTO to seek accelerated examination because of actual infringement. The petition contained all the prerequisites that the PTO requires, including a statement that a "rigid comparison" of the alleged infringing method with the claims of the application had been made, that some claims are "unquestionably infringed," and a description of the invention, Scanner's interactions with ICOS, and ICOS's competing system. The petition was granted and the PTO considered the applications patentable over the prior art ICOS Projector.
Scanner then filed suit against ICOS for infringement of the patents-in-suit. ICOS counterclaimed, asking the district court to declare the patents-in-suit invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed by ICOS. The parties agreed that the case would rise and fall on claim 1 of the '756 patent. The district court found that statements made in the petition were "intended to mislead the PTO into believing" that ICOS copied Scanner's competing product, and thus held the patents-in-suit unenforceable due to Scanner's inequitable conduct. The district court also found that the ICOS Projector rendered the claims of the patents-in-suit obvious and that the CyberSTEREO product did not infringe claim 1 of the '756 patent. Scanner appealed the district court's rulings.
Scanner argued that a misrepresentation must be material to patentability to support a charge of inequitable conduct. The Court rejected Scanner's argument and reaffirmed that when the setting involves a petition to make special, a false statement that succeeds in expediting the application is, as a matter of law, material for purposes of assessing the issue of inequitable conduct.
The Court found, however, that the district court failed to draw all reasonable inferences on the factual findings relied upon to show materiality. First, the Court found that a physical inspection should not be an implied requirement to use the phrase "rigid comparison" in a petition to make special. The district court also did not credit the fact that the words "rigid comparison" are required by the PTO's rules for the contents of a petition to make special. The Court also found that the district court erred when it inferred from Scanner's statement that its product was on "open display" at a trade show and that the display revealed how calculations were performed. Instead, the Court considered an equally reasonable inference was that "open display" meant the product was accessible to people as opposed to a closed method of display where people could not get to them. Moreover, given that the memory of both witnesses was vague, the Court determined that the district court erred in favoring ICOS's witness testimony over Scanner's witness testimony regarding whether ICOS had visited Scanner's booth. Finally, recognizing that what constitutes "copious" note-taking is a relative determination, the Court found that the district court erred in presuming an unfavorable inference in deciding whether Scanner falsely described the notes taken by ICOS at the trade show. Accordingly, the Court held that the district court erred in its finding of materiality and reversed the district court's determination that the patents-in-suit are unenforceable for inequitable conduct. Further, because the district court based its finding of an exceptional case on an erroneous finding of inequitable conduct, the Court found that the district court abused its discretion in awarding attorneys' fees to ICOS.
With respect to obviousness, the Court held that the district court did not err in finding the claims obvious where Scanner did not rebut ICOS's expert testimony regarding the level of ordinary skill in the art, and did not present much evidence of secondary indicia of obviousness. Further, the Court disagreed with Scanner that the record contains no evidence that suggests implementing stereo triangulation calculations on related images in the prior art ICOS Projector system. Referencing KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 127 S. Ct. 1727 (2007), the Court concluded that the trial testimony showed that the relatively small logical gap between the prior art and asserted claim 1 is closed by a person of ordinary skill in the art pursuing known options within his or her technical grasp.
The Court also found that the district court correctly construed the terms "triangulation calculation" and "pre-calculated calibration plane." And the district court correctly determined that the accused product does not satisfy either limitation. As such, the Court affirmed the district court's finding of noninfringement of claim 1.
Finally, Scanner argued that the district court erred in ruling on the validity and infringement of unasserted claims of the patents-in-suit based on its analysis of only claim 1 of the '756 patent. Scanner argued that the district court lacked jurisdiction because no case or controversy exists and that it erred in ruling on validity where ICOS presented no evidence. The Court rejected these arguments. The Court cited the parties' stipulation that the "case stands and falls on Claim 1 of the '756 patent," noting that "parties can stipulate to almost anything but jurisdiction." Slip op. at 28-29. The Court found no ambiguity in the parties' representation of the stipulation and determined that "the case" constituted allegations of infringement of both patents and a DJ action seeking invalidity, noninfringement, and unenforceability of all the claims in the patents-in-suit. Thus, the Court affirmed the district court's judgment invalidating the claims of both patents-in-suit. The Court also affirmed the district court's judgment of noninfringement, given Scanner failed to provide facts to support a finding that ICOS infringed those claims.

Lakeville South climbed up to the No. 3 spot in the Class 3A Coaches' poll this week, but based on the Cougars' play in Thursday's match against Shakopee, Lakeville South looks like a team that has been that highly-ranked all season.
The Cougars rolled as they took on the No. 8-3A Sabers, winning in straight sets 25-15, 25-23, 25-23.
With a roster littered with upperclassmen, Lakeville South (18-3, 8-2) has learned the importance of starting quick in just about any match and the Cougars showed that in the early going.
Senior setter Syd Case had the Cougars moving the ball well all match, including in the early going. Case had a game-high 31 assists. Her passing and strong setting caused trouble for the Sabers (16-5, 7-3).
"We were just struggling to pass the ball," Shakopee coach Matt Busch said. "It took us too long to figure out what we needed to do to get going. They came at us hard."
As could be seen throughout, Case is a major cog in Lakeville South's offensive machine. She facilitates the Cougars offense and gets the opponent's defense out of sorts.
"On the court, she's a quiet kid and keeps a straight face. But she's so important to us out there," said Lakeville South coach Stephen Willingham. "She's able to draw her teammates in and hold them accountable. She's always making others better."
One of those players she has helped make better is Ava Moes. The Lakeville South freshman middle hitter has emerged into the Cougars' starting lineup and had four kills in the win.
"[Moes] is just such a physical player," Willingham said. "She's able to study the game and ask good questions. She really enjoys being out there."
Moes has also worked alongside some experienced outside players. Senior outside hitter Camryn Strong had a team-high 13 kills in the win.
And while Lakeville South boasts upperclassmen, Shakopee has been forced to work with a younger nucleus. After losing nine starters from the 2016 team, the Sabers have been able to work their way up the rankings and be competitive in the loaded South Suburban Conference.
"There are plenty of things we've had to work on," Busch said. "But we're continuing to build confidence and have that willingness to stop whoever is coming at us."
For both teams, one major struggle has been knocking off the conference's best. Both teams have fallen to No. 1-3A Eagan and No. 2-3A Lakeville North. All of Shakopee's losses have come to top-10 teams.
Soon enough, both teams will have an opportunity for redemption in the section tournament. Thankfully for the Sabers, they have yet to lose to a Section 2 opponent.
For the Cougars, the opportunity to avenge a previous loss will come in the section tournament. Lakeville South, which plays in Section 1, could end up being pitted against its crosstown rival in section play—but no matter the opportunity—Willingham knows how his team feels about section play.
"One thing we've never had a problem with here in Lakeville is having our teams be committed," Willingham said. "We're super excited to go out there, get after it and show other teams in our section what we can do."
In just three sets, Lakeville South made quick work of South Suburban conference foe Shakopee on Thursday at Shakopee High School. The Cougars defeated the Sabers 25-15, 25-23, 25-23.
The Cougars (18-3, 8-2) rolled behind a strong frontcourt with plenty of experience. Senior outside hitter Camryn Strong had a team-high 13 kills in the win.
Meanwhile, senior setter Syd Case had 31 assists and facilitated kill after kill for Lakeville South, which is ranked third in the Class 3A coaches' poll.
After falling behind early, the No. 8-3A Sabers had trouble clawing away at the Cougars' lead. Shakopee (16-5, 7-3) couldn't overcome the powerful Lakeville South offense despite eight kills from junior outside hitter Ella Karst and six kills from sophomore outside hitter Maddie Fratzke.

Remembering Doris Singleton
The Archive is sad to report the death of actress Doris Singleton. Singleton passed away on June 26th at the age of 92. The multi-talented performer began her career as a ballet dancer in New York and transitioned to work as a singer and actress in network radio, where she appeared on many of the medium's now-classic shows. She is probably best known in television for her recurring roles as "Carolyn Appleby," one of Lucy's friends on I Love Lucy; and as "Magda" on Hogan's Heroes. She was married to writer Charlie Isaacs, who passed away in 2002.
The Archive interviewed her in 2005. Here are some selections from the interview:
On working on I Love Lucy
The camera over here was Lucy's, over there was Desi's, and there was one in the middle that got the whole thing. You had to be very, very careful in your scenes with them that you did not put a hand in her camera. You had to be sure that you were back far enough. It was quite different. We didn't have any teleprompters -- we had notes all over a sweaty palm, which didn't do us any good at all. And then there were many funny things that happened. Lucy and Vivian Vance were in a scene, and they were having a hard time because we had changes up to the very last minute. And they were having a hard time with this particular scene and remembering the changes, so they wrote them all out on the coffee table, and that was fine. And then we always had a break between acts. The prop man would come and spray you if you had any jewelry on, anything that glittered was sprayed. And then he sprayed their whole coffee table, and they had all of their notes on the table, so that was obliterated completely. But they did it just fine.
On her recurring character on I Love Lucy, "Carolyn Appleby"
On the legacy of I Love Lucy
Every woman thinks that she sees herself in Lucy, wanting to do something more. This was before women's liberation and everything, and women were still housewives and they took care of the children and that was it, and they didn't have big careers and so forth. So she represented what a lot of women would like to have in their lives. And the show was funny. It was clean. It could be seen by anyone of the family, from the little child to the grandmother, and it wasn't going to offend anyone. Of course, at that time, there was a lot of censorship. I mean, they couldn't be in the same bed together, ever. And they couldn't say when she was pregnant. It had to be, "we're having a baby." and they did.
On her advice to aspiring actors
On a photo with her husband, writer Charlie Isaacs
That is my husband, Charlie Isaacs. Best, best writer in television, bar none. And that's Doris Singleton, his loving wife. Married for 60 years. And loving every minute.

Oh really now! Personally, I do not think you have given anything but fantasy. I would really like to see a picture of your" FBI" badge in your hand. Better yet, how about you upload a picture of your badge being held by the hands (both left) of your "two" daughters. Nothing but hands and badge, we do not need anymore than that. Would anyone else here like to see vkey's badge, in the way we specify? Alas she probably has no camera or it was recently broken. There is no harm in that right?

Again, that's just right now. In a couple days, who knows? Weeks? A month?
Let me state that to me, it is obviously clear that something is afoot. Take a look at all the resignations, just recently. Why would this happen otherwise? This is ATS, we're pretty good at figuring out smoking guns.
Perhaps it is you who does not know what you are talking about. Try looking back through the thread aways and then tell me she never claimed to be an FBI agent!

Besides exposing yourself, you are on the verge of making yourself look like a fool. Look back farther and in the thread before this one of the OPPT.

The Search is on for the Next Female Filmmaker, is it You?
VIBE and AaFFRM have joined forces to give one talented, New York based, female filmmaker the opportunity to travel to Urbanworld Film Festival 2012 to make a short documentary chronicling MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

Micro-Resilience: Minor Shifts for Major Boosts in Focus, Drive, and Energy (Hardcover)
Not On Our Shelves—Ships in 1-5 Days
Learn powerful, science-based techniques to boost focus, drive and energy hour-by-hour throughout the day--every day.
As leadership consultants and executive trainers, Bonnie St. John and Allen P. Haines have heard the same complaints from clients for years; periodic burnout, lack of focus and low energy. So they dug into the latest research on neuroscience, psychology and physiology looking for big answers. Instead they found small answers; proof that small adjustments in daily routines, including thought patterns, food and drink, rest and movement can fight the forces that sap our energy and store focus and drive. They call these amazing efficient restorative techniques "micro-resilience." Thousands of men and women from all walks of life have already found effortless ways to incorporate these little changes into the busiest of schedules. Dozens of entertaining anecdotes from real people using micro-resilience demonstrate that when our brains fire faster, our energy increases and we can cope with almost any surprise, pressure or crisis.

I'm fairly new to this type of thing and was a bit nervous about photographing semi-naked (men) and women. One of the first models I met with was Renato, pained as 'The Joker', who invited me to photograph him. Renato is an actor and circus performer and he did a trick with a tissue paper that produced a flame in his hand.
|Renato with 'his hand on fire'
|Renato posing for the camera
Incidentally, the two photos of Renato above were a small selection of the very few that I took without any flash - 1/160th at f/4, ISO 800. For the most part I used my trusty 24-105mm lens, which is has excellent focal length range for the job and focuses extremely well in low light.
By now I was somewhat more relaxed and started to engage more easily with the other models and artists. I was courteous to leave them all a card such that they could contact me for copies of the photos I took of them; indeed a number of them took up the offer, which was great.
Claire (the dragon)
Like any other piece of art, it's not until the work of the artist is complete that one can really appreciate the full beauty and impact. This was certainly the case with Claire, who was being made up into a dragon. I took a few early pictures, but the final outcome was well worth the wait.
|Claire (you can see what I mean about the white balance)
I had only met one of the models previously, and that was Leonie. She has modeled for Ashford Photographic Society club shoots and it was good to see her again. I'm not too sure of her character, but she looked amazing and was happy to venture out into the street for me to take some shots against the adjacent building an natural daylight. I still used some fill-in flash to try and fill the shadows.
|Leonie in the hall

Eye Scream anyone?
There is a full set of images from the day on my website, but one other set I will share now is from a mother and daughter artist/model pairing, the latter being made up as an ice-cream seller at the cinema. She was extremely good in front of the camera and was happy to join me and another photographer to have some photographs taken in the old cinema next door to the Town Hall.
|'Eye scream' anyone?
|Scary or what?
|Your meet and greet!

Dungy or Young Jeezy?
As Michael Vick waits for a team to offer him a contract he's being mentored by a man that will help him get his life on the right path if he truly wants to. Granted, the NFL mandated that Vick accept Tony Dungy as a mentor as part of his conditional reinstatement to the league, but regardless of how the arrangement was brought it should benefit Michael Vick
It's hard to think of a better person to work with Michael than Tony Dungy. When he coached, Dungy led his teams without yelling and cussing and commanded the respect of his players. Dungy's strong belief in the word of God doesn't mean Vick will become a choirboy, but their talks can lead to better decision making by Michael. And having Dungy in his corner has to be good for a guy that probably feels like the world is against him.
At the end of the day, all Dungy can do is talk to Michael Vick and help get him through the door of an NFL team. What Ookie chooses to do from there is on him. Is he going to work and study hard and become a starter again? Will he become complacent after signing with a team? And how will Michael spend his time away from football? Off the field distractions were the root of most of his previous problems.
There's a video making the rounds of Vick chilling with the rapper Young Jeezy. Nothing criminal happens, but I doubt it's the kind of environment Tony Dungy envisioned for Michael. They say there's a time and place for everything, although a couple of weeks past being conditionally reinstated isn't the time to "keep it hood." I thought Mike would lay low, and the first we'd see of him would be at a press conference when he signed with a team. Instead, we see Vick in the type of non-football situation that we were seeing him in before the dogfighting problems.
Having a man like Tony Dungy to lean on is great, but Dungy can only lead the proverbial horse to water. All of the good intentions in the world can't change a person that isn't open to the change. Michael Vick could talk to Tony Dungy, the Pope, and Tim Tebow everyday, but his actions, not his words, will determine his future. Hopefully Vick takes the words of Tony Dungy to heart and leaves his negative habits behind. If not, he'll be watching football on Sundays from the stands and not the sidelines.

I think the real test for Michael Vick will be in how he conducts himself regardless of the company he keeps. If he can be around the likes of young whoever, and still conduct himself as a decent human being, more power to him. Time will tell.
Posted by: OHREALLYNOW | August 11, 2009 2:00 PM
In my honest opinion, I think that the thing that should be affecting our judgement of this man is the fact that he sponsored and took part in illegal, cruel dog fighting.
""Nothing criminal happens, but I doubt it's the kind of environment Tony Dungy envisioned for Michael"" Why do you doubt that?
Is Michael "Keeping it hood" because he's hanging out with a rapper? Would the same comments be made if Vick was hanging out with a white rapper?
I think that we as nation need to stand together a little more firmly on this issue, and I know that I will not watch any game that has Michael Vick in it. Ever.
I'm disgusted that the NFL is willing to allow someone who victimizes defenseless creatures that have no way of defending themselves back into their organization. It is despicable.
Posted by: JerimiahJacobson | August 11, 2009 2:07 PM
People kill me saying if Michael Vick plays they will never watch another game, goodbye, you really dont think you are fooling anybody PETA, you post the same thing over and over. Who cares dont watch the games. Anyways don't you think you should be out taking a bite out of dogfighting since you are so adamant about people not being able to make a living if they do. Stop fronting and pretending, and if you really don't watch oh well who cares. You need to get a life and move on and you so called journalist need to stop trying to watch everything this man does. I would love to see what half you losers get caught doing in a manner of a week and I guarantee you, it would be sick and ugly. Stop the hating and move on as this man has moved on.

Poor sad souls who condemn a person for a life will find only misery themselves. He who dedicates himself to making a pariah of another will find no peace. Resentment is the poison you drink hoping to someone else will die. Trashing someone else trashes yourself. Those who harbor resentment have problems much larger then the contract Mike Vick signs this week. Much bigger.
Posted by: ZeroHero0 | August 12, 2009 12:37 AM
And the problem with talking to Young Jeezy would be......what?? Exactly what is it about him that makes it "ooooo!!" to be giving him a hug and going to his concert? Would it be better if he was with The Jonas Brothers?? Is that it? I'm really trying to understand the mentality of the person actually posting this asanine insinuation that somehow Jeezy is a "bad man" that Mike Vick shouldn't be around. Really, because he raps? What? Should Mike Vick start listening to Aerosmith instead? Those good Christian guys??
Please....and they wonder why we give these kind of stupid blogs the side eye.
Posted by: mlrice710 | August 12, 2009 6:14 AM
Not to put Young Jeezy down, but he is at least directly 'connected' to criminal enterprises and makes music glorifying it. Whether he engages in that criminal activity or not is just speculation, but I can see where the author is coming from (although "keepin' it hood" is just disrespectful).
That said, I don't think there is anything bad about Vick's reinstatement or hanging out with rappers.
Also, as written, it's been WEEKS since he got out. The man has been in jail for two years before that..let him enjoy his FREEDOM!
Posted by: OneGovt_Worker | August 12, 2009 4:01 PM
OK, let's get past the fact Goodell is a complete and unmitigated moron for reinstating this piece of ghetto trash.. Let's talk about the future.. Just boycott the team that selects him, do not watch their games, buy their tickets and go to their games. they will get the message.
Signing Vick will be the Kiss of Death for who ever signs him!!!
Posted by: Rubiconski | August 13, 2009 6:03 AM
Dont be ignorant people!!! Vick is a natural born athlete. The guy did the crime then paid for it more dearly than you or I will ever know. The NFL is a business that makes money. Plain and simple Vick packs them in with his electric athleticism. Boycott all you want but I bet a dollor to a dime youll be boycotting by yourself (other than a few tree huggers) when Philly is on track for the SUPERBOWL!!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Research Studies
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research program that tests a new medicine to see if it is safe and works well. When a new medicine (or drug) is first discovered, you cannot get it by prescription. Researchers must first test it in a laboratory with animals. Then, they must do a clinical trial in a hospital or clinic to test it in people. They test it to see if it is safe and to see how much of the medicine (or what dose) is enough to work.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a government agency that decides if a new drug is safe enough to give to patients by prescription. It looks at the results of the clinical trials to make this decision. Testing drugs for hepatitis C is very important, and clinical trials are a way to find new and better medicines. All medicines that you can now get for hepatitis C were first tested in clinical trials.
How do clinical trials work?
Clinical trials follow a set of rules called a protocol. The protocol says who can participate, how long the study is, and which tests need to be done.
Clinical trials are managed by doctors and are usually run by nurses or other health care professionals. The clinical trial staff will follow your progress closely and can help tell your regular doctor what is happening with your treatment. Trials are also checked by an institutional review board (IRB). This is a group of people who reviews the clinical trial regularly to protect your rights, safety, and well-being.
When you are in a clinical trial, you may need to see the doctor more often and rarely stay overnight in the hospital. This is because the clinical trial staff want to check the effects of the medicine carefully. Because clinical trials are research, they will sometimes test the real drug against a placebo (or sugar pill). Your doctor will tell you whether or not the clinical trial uses a placebo. Usually you will not know if you are taking the medicine or the placebo until the clinical trial is over.
How do I begin a clinical trial?
Before you start a clinical trial, you will go through a screening process. This is to make sure that it is safe for you to start taking the medicine. The staff will ask you about your health history, and you may have a blood test, urine test, or other tests (such as a physical exam or a heart test).
What is informed consent?
You will also go through a process called informed consent. The doctors and nurses will explain exactly what will happen during the clinical trial. They will answer your questions and tell you about the risks and benefits of the clinical trial. They will ask you to sign a document called a consent form. When you sign this form, you are saying that you understand what is going to happen and that you agree to participate. Participation in any clinical trial is voluntary and choosing not to participate will not affect your VA medical care. Even after you have started a clinical trial, you are free to quit at any time for any reason. Quitting early will not affect your medical care in the future.
What are the different types of clinical trials?
There are four different types of clinical trials: Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV.
- is the first time the drug is tried in people
- tests for the drug's safety and helps find the right dose
- may ask for frequent tests or a stay in the hospital to check for safety and effectiveness
- lasts a fairly short time
- has a small number of patient volunteers
- happens when early studies show that the drug may work well to fight hepatitis C
- tests for safety and effective dose level
- lasts longer than Phase I trials
- tries to find out what kind of side effects you get with this medicine
- has several hundred patients
- happens if the drug worked well in Phase I and II
- compares standard treatments (medicines that you can already get by prescription) or sugar pills (placebos) with the new medicine
- may last longer than Phases I and II
- looks for ways to reduce the side effects and improve the quality of your life while you are taking the medicine
- is the last phase of study before a drug is sent to the FDA
- has many patients (sometimes thousands)
- happens when the drug is already available by prescription
- happens less often than other phases
- checks other safety issues and long-term side effects
- may be used to check higher or lower amounts (or doses) of the medicine
Does it cost anything to participate?
No. It will not cost you anything because you are helping the researchers to test a new medicine. Sometimes you may be given money to reimburse you for your time or travel.
How long do clinical trials last?
Clinical trials can last from a few weeks to several months. After the treatment is over, the cliinical trial staff will usually ask you to come back for some follow-up visits. The follow-up period may be as short as a few weeks or as long as six months and helps to make sure that you are safe. The informed consent will provide you details on the length of the trial.
How long does it take for a medication to be approved by the FDA?
It usually takes about 10 years for a drug to be developed and approved for prescription. Many people would like to take the newest medicine as soon as it is proven to work. However, even after a drug has been successful in a Phase III trial, it still may take six to 12 months before that drug is approved for prescription.
What are the benefits and risks of being in a clinical trial?
Before you start a clinical trial, you should think about the positive and negative things that may happen.
- You may get frequent free checkups from hepatitis C specialists.
- You can get free medicine.
- You can get new medicine that is not yet available from your regular doctor and may work better than the old medicine.
- You may learn a lot about your hepatitis C disease and how to take care of yourself.
- You may help medical researchers to find better treatments for all patients with hepatitis C.
- You may have side effects from the medicine that you did not expect.
- You may have to have frequent office visits, blood tests, and other medical exams.
- You may not get better from the treatment.
Who pays for clinical trials?
Trials are paid for by government agencies, pharmaceutical (or drug) companies, individual doctors and hospitals, or clinics. Most hepatitis C clinical trials are paid for by the companies that make the drugs. The doctors and nurses will tell you who is paying for the study before you begin a trial.
If I want to be in a clinical trial, will I definitely be able to participate?
Not necessarily. Most clinical trials have eligibility criteria. These are rules about who can participate, based on health, age, and other things. They are designed to keep you safe and to help you get the best results. If you do not meet these criteria, you will probably not be able to participate. If you do qualify for a trial and decide to participate, you should be willing to follow the guidelines of the study.
How can I find out about participating in a hepatitis C clinical trial?
Many trials are being conducted at VA medical centers across the country. There are trials in all phases, studying many different drugs. Ask your VA doctor about what trials may be appropriate for you.
The decision to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal choice. It is a good idea to know as much as possible about the trial before beginning. You may want to have a list of questions for the health care providers and study coordinators when you meet with them. You may also want to talk with your regular doctor, friends, and family to help you make your decision.
Where can I get more information on clinical trials?
Write the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at 9000 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20892. Call 800-411-1222 and visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Network Job Training Services was founded in 2011 by Brian Bedford. Simply said…there was a need for it, a method to receive better results from online job searches. Searches and on-line applications for position that would produce positive responses and interviews. Family and friends were all affected by the recession and as companies started to hire, we needed to find the opportunities that best fit our skills and experience. The typical search filters resulted in typical job listings. We needed more. Brian was determined to receive better results and his determination paid off. Since that time, he has assisted many through one-on-one sessions and instructor-led group sessions. The right search method + strong resume + industry knowledge = Job Opportunities.

Parkas, shells and other rugged outdoor wear are supposed to be part of the simple life. But increasingly, buying such clothing is anything but simple.
Tags boasting of various fabric treatments read like primers in fluid mechanics.
More and more synthetics, all competitors to down, are on the scene, many with strange-sounding names.
And with some specially treated shells priced at $400 or more, it's not too hard for a bewildered shopper to end up buying a garment more suited to an assault on Mount Everest than a weekend walk.
"This is a field where hype runs rampant," said Dr. Ralph Goldman, the chief scientist for Comfort Technology Inc., an independent clothing testing laboratory in Natick, Mass.

The IRS announced that thieves have accessed more than 100,000 tax returns, through online IRS-sanctioned software.
Technicians became suspicious of the "Get Transcript" system when the request for taxpayer transcripts began to rapidly increase.
"Overall, the thieves made approximately 200,000 attempts that originated from suspicious email domains, and a little over 100,000 successfully made it pass our authentication system," the agency said.
The online service is a convenience for taxpayers needing copies of tax information, instead of waiting in line at an IRS office or receiving a copy in the mail.
The IRS has temporarily shut the system down according to Jim Dondero.
The total number of fraudulent refunds this year is still inconclusive, but the IRS says it's less than $50 million.
Yet, thieves can utilize the information from this latest breach to claim future taxpayer refunds, as well as cause mayhem in identity theft issues.
In 2015, the IRS successfully blocked 3 million questionable returns.

Does the world need a Jerry Seinfeld day? We say yes!
Grab your white sneakers, feather your hair, and grab a table at Monks (or on your couch) it is Jerry Seinfeld's birthday on 4/29, and time for a Seinfeld birthday marathon. The show about nothing is still as funny in syndication as any show on TV. And, while Jerry thinks the perfect birthday gift is cash, we think that same syndication income means you don't need to send him a dime. So, check out all of the great Seinfeld content on Youtube in honor of Jerry turning 58! You can catch his very early standup, the Pilot episode of Seinfeld (or the Seinfeld Chronicles–with bizzaro Mr. & Mrs. Seinfeld) and also catch his most recent work in the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee series.
