WASHINGTON - In an important victory for patients, two federal appeals courts have ruled that poor people may sue state officials to compel them to provide benefits promised under the federal Medicaid law.
Michigan, North Carolina and other states had argued that they were shielded from such lawsuits by the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
But in separate rulings this month, three-judge panels of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Richmond, Va., and the 6th Circuit, in Cincinnati, Ohio, unanimously rejected those arguments.

Every year I hear and/or say the same things about Bumbershoot — it's too expensive, the lines are too long, the lineup isn't as good as it has been (or as good as Sasquatch or Capitol Hill Block Party), I'm skipping it this year (or this'll be my last one), they booked Fergie, etc… It's quite the monstrosity, yes, but we go every year even as the lines get longer and the tickets get more expensive. Maybe it's because we have Labor Day plans by default or maybe the masochists in us enjoy all that. Or maybe it's the existential arguments we have with ourselves about whether we go see Beck, !!! or Nada Surf on Saturday night (!!! for the win).
Still, for all the bitching we hear about Bumbershoot, we also have Bumbershoot memories that transcend long lines, expensive tickets and appearances by Fergie. For me, I will always remember the acoustic Black Rebel Motorcycle Club set in the KEXP Music Lounge and the final Lillydale show from last year. Every year, Bumbershoot really does book the best local bands, and it is an excellent chance to see the many of the same bands that we have really wanted to see but were never able to because it's sometimes difficult to fit in a Tuesday night at the High Dive into our already busy days. Last year, I was blown away by The Fucking Eagles, who quickly became one of my favorite rock bands in the Northwest. Asking if the well-meaning but not clued-in guy at the official record kiosk if they carried the CD by The Fucking Eagles was priceless (they didn't, but Easy Street Records did).
This year there isn't any act that whose appearance will complete part of my life, but that is similar to last year. It was, and is, a solid lineup with lots of excellent bands worth your time. Earlier in the year, a musician friend asked me to write her one-page biography, which I readily agreed to do. It was unusual for me to see it being excerpted directly into the Bumbershoot guide online (which was perfectly acceptable — it was a more a press release and much less a review and I'm no Neil Kinnock). Because of that (or maybe because of tight deadlines and laziness on my part, I can't be sure), I'm going to crib from my own reviews and offer a few recommendations based on stuff I've already written and artists I've already seen.
Beehive at Wells Fargo Stage – Saturday, September 30 at noon
Beehive is largely a classic rock band put through the filter of an electronic duo. Using mostly guitars (with lots of reverb), synths, laptops and a drum machine, David Miller and one-named band member Alethea (who also goes by the name "Butterfly Beats") craft a sound that is not too dissimilar to fellow-travelers like LCD Soundsystem. At one point late in the set they even brought to mind a psychedelic jam band — with programming. The next song they rocked an unexpected cover of "Helter Skelter." (October 24, 2007)
Nada Surf at Starbucks Stage – Saturday, September 1 at 8:45p
Nada Surf is a rare band that crafts songs that sound equally well acoustic and plugged-in. Caws' harmonies worked especially well without being obscured by reverb and distortion. Most of the songs were slowed down and mellow but the evening ended in a celebratory fashion. Playing "Blankest Year," Caws got the crowd to sing along to the "ah fuck it" parts in the chorus. (February 4, 2008)
Sons and Daughters at the Rockstar Stage – Sunday, September 1 at 8:45p
When Sons and Daughters played at Neumo's last Tuesday, it is easy to see why they have become critical favorites (at least here at TIG). Their set was loud, and equally tight and sloppy (which is possible but harder to pull off than it sounds). They blew through songs throughout their catalogue, especially focusing on This Gift. My favorite song of theirs, "Gilt Complex," was the opening track and it only improved from there. Other favorites like "Dance Me In" and "Darling" (which Bethel said was a number one hit back home and a pro-abortion song) were also greeted well by the appreciative crowd. (May 5, 2008)
The Saturday Knights at Fisher Green Stage – Sunday, September 1 at 7:45p
[T]here is no real definitive "Saturday Knights sound." There are 13 songs on the album — and the worst you can say about any one of them is that it is merely "very good" — and not one sounds like the one that precedes or follows it. It is the most consistently solid but inconsistently sounding record I've heard in a while. On "I Go", they employ a Van Halen-like guitar intro (from Soundgarden's Kim Thayil) and follow it with "The Gospel", a Southern Rock/country ditty that bears little to (but not to none of) the hip hop sound that runs through quite a bit of Mingle. (June 30, 2008)
Ingrid Michaelson at Starbucks Stage – Sunday, September 1 at 8:45p
Playing songs mostly from Girls and Boys, Michaelson sounded understated and lovely through Nectar's PA system. Her first song, "Breakable," immediately reminded me of Regina Spektor, and at other times she appeared to have been influenced by listening to Cole Porter musicals. Michaelson captivated the crowd for most of the night with her low-key, but often very pretty, singing and her clever stage banter. She sat down and played a keyboard throughout most of her 70 minute set, only joined by another young woman to play guitar and sing backing harmonies. (January 25, 2008)
Dan Deacon at Exhibition Hall Stage – Monday, September 2 at 4:15p
What Deacon did was bring lots of people (many of whom were stepping inside of a rock club like Neumo's for the first time) out of their homes on a Sunday night for a set that was always engaging and entertaining. I saw several Dungeons and Dragons nerds dancing on the stage. His fans sang along to every word when there were words and danced when there weren't. He's a populist who tries to get everyone involved in the show. Some of his songs I really enjoy, others I'm not feeling. His music is often disjointed and lacking a cohesive structure (but that's my problem, not his), so of course it's going to be hit or miss. I may not always like the destination, but that doesn't mean I'm not happy to go along for the ride. (January 24, 2008)

I was thinking that since more and more usiers seem to prepare work for newspaer ads with Illustrator would it be useful to be able to work in Agate Lines since the space is still often used.
Or does one simply bring the work into ID where they have support for Agate Lines.
Maybe you should enlarge on this
I, for one, have never heard of Agate Lines.
My experience tells me, opposite to what you say, that fewer and fewer people (at least in Europe) use Illie for press ads and such.
The trend is towards InDesign and thence pdf. I remember Monika saying something along those lines too.
The reason is that newspapers and many other printing companies prefer to make their own colour separations.
Working with InDesign allows for placed images in RGB.
All the designer has to do is to embed the correct colour profile when exporting to pdf, the rest is automatic.
Saves a lot of hassle and mistakes, especially where inexperienced designers are involved.

Lavazza signs deal with Andre Agassi NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Lavazza announced details of a new global collaboration featuring tennis legend, Andre Agassi. The partnership positions Agassi as Lavazza's spokesperson for the world of tennis, and officially kicks off this evening at the US Open with a special event and promotion for spectators, along with teasers taking place in the morning around New York City.

If it were not for Adam Cravens I would not have known that, in the world of comic books, Bruce Wayne died and he had a kid and they're on the third Robin and all this has happened basically over the past year. For that I'm thankful. If all this had taken place over the past few years I would've felt really stupid. Now I just feel a little out of the loop.
All this came up because of Elton John. At the moment, the Family, Youth and Sports Minister in the Ukraine said Elton John won't be allowed to adopt 14-month-old Lev, who is HIV-positive and who is an orphanage because both his parents died of AIDS, because in the Ukraine you have to be married and not more than 45 years older than the child. Now, Elton is married, but the Ukraine doesn't recognize the union. His partner does meet the age requirement, but still, union non recognized. So, I hoped that as this was sorted out that Elton would be able to provide for the child. It sickens Adam and I that antiquated laws like this exist. Many married and straight people are not good parents. Many are. It needs to go on a case by case basis. Just because you are married or you are straight doesn't mean you are going to be able to provide a perfect life for a child. This is a baby that will need medical care and has no family. Here is someone who can more than adequately provide for that baby. It is unconscionable to me that this is happening. And not because it is Elton John. If anyone with the means to take care of this boy could do it.
Kelly Clarkson ripped Kanye a new one. It was awesome. She posted in her blog how she felt about his actions at the VMA's. It's some seriously good reading. Adam feels Kanye is the go-to guy for crazy these days. He also thinks that MTV may have put him up to it just to get some chatter going about the show. If that's the case, then it worked.
Sept. 9, 1945, at Harvard, back when computers were BIG, a moth was found in one. When it was removed, they said the computer had been "debugged." And so the term was born. The moth was taped to the report and it is on display at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum in Dahlgren, VA. I used to live in King George, which is outside of Fredericksburg, where I matriculated. How's that for use of my degree? Oh, King George is on the other side of Dahlgren, that's why it jumped out at me.
Indiana Jones 5 is in the works. For real.
Recipe of the Week is an Italian meat pie, I call it the How You Doin' Meat Pie. Wendy's Book Shelf is posted and Jay's gardening column has a few brief recipes telling you what to do with your harvest.
If you would like to hear how not to get a girl to like you, be sure to listen to the show. It's creepy and didn't quite work out. But the girl is OK, so I would say it has a happy ending. www.thejaneellen.com Hear Jane.

By Beatrice Whelan, Social Media & Content Specialist at Sage
I have to be honest. When I was asked to review The Cheese Mall as part of a virtual book tour, I was a bit sceptical. I totally judged this book by its cover and thought, what can two mice teach me about marketing? Well as it turns out, quite a lot.
The Cheese Mall. Key Marketing Skills For the Budding Entrepreneur, tells the story of two mice, Millie and Matthew, as they launch a business and teach themselves the important marketing skills and techniques that every start-up business owner needs.
I was tempted to review Chapter 3 about The Business Plan as Sage provides free business planning software but I opted for Chapter 5 – Market Segmentation as I'm currently studying that topic. As Millie explained to Matthew, market segmentation is a marketing technique that targets different groups of customers with shared characteristics.
Market segmentation makes it much easier to target and position your product or service. Instead of marketing your product at the mass market i.e. everyone that might conceivably want your product or service, you divide the mass market up into different groups and can then create specific marketing messages for each of them and ensure that messages used to target one segment does not alienate the others.
Chapter 5 also explains the five key elements of the marketing mix; product, price, promotion, place and people. Although you will have to read the book to get a detailed explanation of each, for me the most important lesson for a reader to learn from this chapter is that marketing is not just about promotion. People that don't work in marketing tend to think that this is all that marketing is about but as Millie points out there is a lot more to it.
As the book points out, people can be the most difficult and the most important part of the marketing mix to get right. The people that work for your business, especially customer facing people ultimately determine the customer experience and so have a massive impact on brand delivery.
What I really like about this book is that takes what can in some cases be quite complicated marketing principles and manages to make them incredibly easy to understand without dumbing down the topic. You could easily read this book in a few hours but I would advise to read it slowly while thinking about how each point applies to your own business. It would be time well spent for any mice or (wo)men starting their own business.
The Cheese Mall book can be purchased as a hard copy or for kindle online. You can also keep up with Millie & Matthew's adventures on their blog (yes the mice blog).
The next blog to take part in the virtual blog tour is Moira Geary, Mind Experts Academy where Moira will explore an aspect of The Cheese Mall: Key Marketing Skills for the Budding Entrepreneur on Monday 3rd December.

Recently I was asked by one of my friend how to call a web service directly from a stored procedure. He needs to track IP addresses using a stored procedures so, I suggested him two ways to call a web service using the SQL Procedure.
- Using SP_OACREATE with MSXML
- Create an assembly using SQL CLR using C#.
I personally tried using the first way to call a web service but was not successful. Then I learnt about SQL CLR programming with Visual Studio and C# and get it done in a first go. As a good friend I create the whole project for my friend. And if your thinking that this is going to be a difficult, this is not so.
To start creating a project, open Visual Studio and create a new project.
Before the project gets loaded completely, you will be asked to add database reference. Here select the database you want to build the assembly for. If you don't want to add a database reference then just simply cancel. But if you choose the reference to add at this point then this would really be of help as this will allow you to deploy your assembly directly to the SQL Server database but if you have not then you need to write some SQL scripts.
NOTE: If you have added a database reference then it doesn't mean that your assembly is build specifically for that database you can still deploy your assembly in other database also.
As I am creating a stored procedure, I then have to add a New Item to my project. Right-click project choose Add>Stored Procedure. Here give a name of your choice to stored procedure. In my case it is IPInfo.
Change the static method here to accept a parameter. Our parameter will be an IP address, which I have set as of string type.
public static void GetIPInfo(string IP) { //Do something here }
Now the question here is from where we can the information of the IP Addresses? I do some search and found a website http://www.geobytes.com. It offers some rich information of the IP Address you want to track, so out of five sources I choose to go with geobytes.
Lets take a quick look at the code. This is not a web service as you can see from the code below, I am just making a http request and then get the response in an XML form so I can easily traverse the nodes and read/save the information I received.
string XMLResponse; IPAddress = IP; byte[] XMLResults; string str = "http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation&template=xml.txt" + "&IpAddress=" + IP; XMLResults = new WebClient().DownloadData(str.ToString()); XMLResponse = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(XMLResults);
Note the fourth line where I have built the URL. The parameter Template should always have a value to xml.txt. If you change the name, it won't throw any error but the data received cannot be read and saved in a database table. Convert the response to string format and then read the nodes one by one using the below code.
try { XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument(); document.LoadXml(XMLResponse); XmlNode documentElement = document.DocumentElement; if (documentElement.HasChildNodes) { for (int i = 0; i < documentElement.ChildNodes.Count; i++) { if (documentElement.ChildNodes[i].NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) { switch (documentElement.ChildNodes[i].Name) { case "locationcode": LocationCode = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "fips": FIPS104 = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "iso2": ISO2 = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "iso3": ISO3 = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "ison": ISON = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "internet": Internet = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "countryid": CountryID = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "country": Country = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "regionid": RegionID = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "region": Region = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "code": RegionCode = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "adm": Admn1Code = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "cityid": CityID = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "city": City = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "latitude": Latitude = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "longitude": Longitude = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "timezone": TimeZone = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; case "certainty": Certainty = documentElement.ChildNodes[i].InnerText; break; } } } } } catch (Exception) { }
I traversed through each node and save the response data in a variable I have already declared in my program using a switch case. Once all the response has been assigned to the variable save the response to the database.
try { using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("context connection=true")) { string strSQL = "INSERT INTO IPTrack values ('" + IPAddress + "','" + LocationCode + "','" + FIPS104 + "','" + ISO2 + "','" + ISO3 + "','" + ISON + "','" + Internet + "','" + CountryID + "','" + Country + "','" + RegionID + "','" + Region + "','" + RegionCode + "','" + Admn1Code + "','" + CityID + "','" + City + "','" + Latitude + "','" + Longitude + "','" + TimeZone + "','" + Certainty + "')"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strSQL, con); //SqlContext.Pipe.ExecuteAndSend(cmd); con.Open(); SqlContext.Pipe.ExecuteAndSend(cmd); //cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } catch (Exception) { } }
Build you project and you will see a DLL file in your debug/release folder. But this will not work. You will still have to set some permission level to assembly and to SQL Server database.
Set Assembly Permissions
Before you build the final version of the assembly go the project properties and set the permissions as shown below.
Under Build select option for Generate Serialization Assembly to On.
Under Database select Permission Level to Unsafe
SQL Server Permissions
If you find problems while deploying your assembly, then make sure you have CLR enabled and set the Trustworthy property for the database to ON.
You can find all the scripts in the attached solution below.
Deploying your assembly
To deploy your assembly use the below SQL command:
CREATE ASSEMBLY IPTracker from 'C:\IPInfo.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS GO
To create a stored procedure whcih in trun calls the SQL method from the deployed assembly:
CREATE PROC TrackIP(@IP as nvarchar(50))AS -- [Assembly Name].[Class Name].[CLR function Name] EXTERNAL NAME IPTracker.StoredProcedures.GetIPInfo GO
And execute the procedure to get the IP information

By Sruthi Gottipati and Mark Bergen
NEW DELHI/BANGALORE, India (Reuters) - Four men chatting in a Delhi bar are not, by their own admission, natural drinking buddies.
The young professionals in their 20s and 30s come from vastly different regions of India and varied backgrounds.
They first "met" on Twitter, spotting each other on the micro-blogging site where they voiced a common desire - to see Hindu nationalist leader Narendra Modi become the next prime minister.
After online introductions, they met face-to-face on their own initiative, and, finding they had plenty in common, gather monthly in the nation's capital to talk about life, work, and, most importantly, how to make a difference in India's upcoming election. The men insisted they paid for their own expenses, and only one of them was associated with Modi's party.
Tiny cells of friends like this one are being created up and down the country, they say - a rare instance of India's politically apathetic urban middle class getting drawn into activism. Many come together of their own volition, others with a nudge from Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
It's another arrow in his quiver ahead of a general election that must be held within six months, and opinion polls are already predicting he and the BJP will win more seats than the ruling Congress party.
The young pro-Modi activists are being dubbed "cyber-Hindus". When online, they spread Modi's message, counter newspaper criticism of him and question reporters' integrity, or mock the Gandhi dynasty that runs the Congress party and has dominated Indian politics since independence in 1947.
At party rallies, where the more traditional cadres are also at hand, the tech-savvy volunteers tweet, or produce live-streaming of speeches.
"I think he (Modi) has proven himself," says Nitin Kashyap, a financial services executive who took a six-month sabbatical from work to volunteer for the campaign.
"This guy has done something which should have been done in India a long, long time ago," adds the 34-year-old from a small town in the state of Assam in India's far northeast.
The brand consultant sitting next to him, who gives only his Twitter handle @Keshar_ because he is concerned his political views could affect his business, calls Modi a "uniting force".
"That guy has worked his way up from being a tea boy to becoming an aspiring prime minister of India," he says of Modi, who has played on his humble roots during a grueling pre-election tour of the country that has electrified Indian politics in the last 10 weeks.
"That's a big deal for the country. He's relating to an IT guy, he's relating to somebody in the desert, somebody up north in the hills, everybody."
While the numbers of these cyber-Hindus are a drop in the ocean of an electorate of 770 million, tech-savvy activists believe that, with the aid of social media, they can mobilize millions of like-minded Indians to vote for Modi and the BJP in the elections.
The BJP even appears to be making inroads into the poor rural vote and that of an emerging middle class living in small towns, even though both groups benefit from Congress handouts to farmers - underlining how Modi's pro-business credentials are striking a chord.
The rise of the cyber-Hindus marks a shift for the BJP and for Indian politics as a whole.
The party has long been associated with its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a voluntary right-wing group that preaches "Hindutva", a hardline brand of Hindu nationalism.
Clad in baggy khaki shorts, RSS members still meet in parks across India to salute, exercise, sing patriotic songs and discuss the greatness of their nation.
But now, the BJP's message comes increasingly from a swell of aspirational, right-leaning Indians angry about endemic corruption they blame on Congress and eager to protect the rights of a Hindu majority.
Modi, who joined the RSS as a teenager, flits between both worlds. Since 2001, he has been chief minister of the western state of Gujarat, where he touts an economic success story he wants to apply to India to lift it from economic torpor.
It was under his watch there in 2002 that Hindu mobs killed at least 1,000 people, most of them Muslims, and Modi has been accused of turning a blind eye, or even encouraging the riots.
He denies any wrongdoing, and says he has been unfairly targeted by Congress, which boasts a secular, inclusive agenda.
India's 1.2 billion people are mostly Hindu with Muslims a 14 percent minority. Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists make up the rest.
In a Reuters interview, Modi called himself "techno-savvy". He has nearly three million Twitter followers, and addressed four rallies at a time using holographic technology last year.
Congress, meanwhile, has been slow to develop a cyber strategy, amid disagreement among senior figures about how much impact it will have on the election outcome.
Modi sees technology as a particularly good way of connecting with India's burgeoning youth - there are expected to be more than 150 million first-time voters in 2014. The percentage of the population using the internet has jumped from around 0.5 percent in 2000 to 12.5 percent in 2012, according to the International Telecommunication Union.
"Technology is our DNA," says Arvind Gupta, the head of Modi's Delhi-based IT cell. He sees social media as a way both to tell and to listen, or, as he calls it, "a two-way street."
At Gupta's state-of-the-art IT operation, a team of young volunteers works at computers to spread the BJP message, knock down negative articles or comments and delve into corruption scandals that could taint opponents. At huge Modi rallies across India, local IT outfits numbering up to 100 volunteers also stream speeches live and tweet and blog words and images.
"It's not hype - he has a proven track record," said Anil Chalageri, 33, as he helped livestream Modi's November rally in Bangalore, where he addressed a crowd of some 300,000 people.
"They want to see Gujarat across the nation," said the founder of QualiBrisk, a human resources firm.
Back in the Delhi bar, Kashyap and his friends see social media as a means of empowerment - getting their message to hundreds, if not thousands of people.
What they want, they say, is real change.
"I feel a responsibility on my shoulders," says Ankit Jain, a 26-year-old diamond dealer with some 8,600 Twitter followers.
"Twitter will not change anything. Voter registration is very important. Every vote counts."
Shreshtha Sharma, the fourth member of the group and founder of a software development company, shares his friends' excitement about Modi, whose popularity among young, right-wing Indians borders on a personality cult.
But he is reluctant to predict outright victory for the BJP, which needs to make huge gains from 2009 to prevail in 2014.
"That will depend on whether this generation has obtained the critical mass," says the 28-year-old. "But the generation after us, they will be able to shift it. If Modi isn't able to do it now, then he will definitely be able to do it later on."

Advanced Ground Information Systems (AGIS), which owns US Pat. Nos. 7,031,728 ("the 728 patent") and 7,672,681 ("the '681 patent"), sued Life360 for patent infringement. In response, Life360 argued that the claim term "symbol generator" invoked MPF claiming under §112, 6th paragraph, and that the specification failed to disclose adequate structure for the "symbol generator," therefore, the asserted claims were indefinite under §112, second paragraph. About the limitation at issue (here, "symbol generator"), although there is no "means" term in the claim, the District Court held that "symbol generator" is a MPF limitation, because the term is simply a description of the function performed. As a result, the District Court applied 112, 6th paragraph, and ruled the claim is invalid as indefinite under 112, 2nd paragraph, because no algorithm, which is corresponding structure, for performing "generating" function is disclosed in the specification.
In reviewing the district court's decision, the Federal Circuit laid out a two-step inquiry for indefiniteness. The first step is to determine whether the relevant claim terms are MPF limitations. If the terms are MPF limitations, the second inquiry is "whether the disputed claim terms have "corresponding structure, material or acts described in the specification to which the term will be limited." The Federal Circuit affirmed District Court's decision that the claims are indefinite, and concluded that the asserted claims are invalid. The reasoning is that "symbol generator" does not describe any structure, and thus is to subject to §112, 6th paragraph; and the specification does not disclose an algorithm for performing the claimed function. In doing so, the Federal Circuit found AGIS's arguments, based on expert testimony that "symbol generator" connotes structure to a person of ordinary skill in the art, unpersuasive.
The Federal Circuit found the expert testified that "symbol generator" is a term coined for the purpose of the patents-in-suit, and that terms "symbol" and "generator" are known within the field of computer science. In this regard, the Federal Circuit indicated that irrespective of whether terms "symbol" and "generator" are terms of art in computer science, the combination of terms as used in the context of the relevant claim language suggests that it is simply description of the function being performed, that is the generation of symbols.
Finally, the Federal Circuit held that the MPF limitation at issue is indefinite, because specifications do not disclose an operative algorithm for the claim elements reciting "symbol generator." The Federal Circuit indicated, citing Net MoneyIN, Inc. v. VeriSign, Inc., that "in a case of computer-implemented functions, we require the specification disclose an algorithm for performing the claimed function."

Apple today announced that it has rebranded its iOS for Car as CarPlay and that its automaker partners will begin rolling out the system in their in-dash systems in new cars starting this year. CarPlay lets iPhone users access their phone-based content and online services from compatible automobiles using voice and touch-based controls.
Apple announced iOS for Car at a developer event in mid-2013 and said at the time that it would deliver the system via a wide range of automakers starting in 2014. Today the firm said that Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo would premiere the system in new cars at the Geneva International Motor Show. Other automakers will follow throughout the year.
"CarPlay has been designed from the ground up to provide drivers with an incredible experience using their iPhone in the car," Apple vice president Greg Joswiak said in a prepared statement. "iPhone users always want their content at their fingertips and CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the car with minimized distraction. We have an amazing lineup of auto partners rolling out CarPlay, and we're thrilled it will make its debut this week in Geneva."
CarPlay integrates with iPhone-based contacts, phone and voice mail capabilities, and lets you use Siri voice control for an "eye-free experience," so that drivers can keep their eyes on the road. It works with Apple Maps on the iPhone to "anticipate destinations based on recent trips via contacts, emails or texts, and provides routing instructions, traffic conditions and ETA." And it of course integrates with iPhone entertainment services such as iTunes, Podcasts, and iTunes Radio, as well as "select" third party apps like Beats Radio, iHeartRadio, Spotify and Stitcher.
While Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo are showing off CarPlay this week, many other automakers are on board too. Last year, Apple announced that BMW, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota have all signed on too. To date, most automobiles already ship with some form of iPhone integration, whether its basic Bluetooth connectivity or iOS-specific connections.
CarPlay requires a Lightning-connected iPhone running iOS 7—there's no upgrade like a forced upgrade—so it's limited to iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5 only. You can find out more at Apple's CarPlay web site.

Winternals Software Manages User Privileges
Wes Miller, product technology strategist, and Denny LeCompte, product manager for Winternals Software (http://www.winternals.com) noticed some openings in the Windows market. First, Group Policy can't dynamically elevate rights, and local user privileges are often incompatible with legacy applications. In addition, the Windows environment continues to exhibit vulnerabilities, whether through unregulated software installation or users with more administrative rights than they need. Winternals filled the gaps with Protection Manager, a security solution that uses a least-privilege environment that lets you flexibly assign only the privileges users need to efficiently execute their duties.
To allocate only necessary privileges to users, Protection Manager provides four security levels: Allow, Run with Administrative Privileges, Run as Limited User, and Deny. Protection Manager protects against malware by denying any application that hasn't explicitly been reviewed and approved to run under Allow. The software eliminates the need to use Group Policy by integrating with Active Directory (AD).

SealedMedia Puts Users in Control of Their Documents
SealedMedia (http://www.sealedmedia.com) considers itself a leader in enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM). "We've been in this space for four years," says VP of Marketing Tanya Candia. "Every company says it's the leader in its industry, but we feel we're ahead because of our customer base and product maturity." The new version of the company's product, SealedMedia 5.0, features Web-based administration tools designed to simplify enterprise deployments and make it easy for users (rather than administrators) to set up rights for documents.
SealedMedia also has a new Express line of products that targets specific business applications. The first, SealedMedia Express for M&A, helps companies going through mergers or acquisitions share confidential information with their business partners without losing control over that information. The Express line is a natural outcome of the way many SealedMedia customers deploy the SealedMedia product. "About half implement SealedMedia for a point problem, like board communications," says Candia. "Then they see the value throughout the company."

Cultural anthropologist Kimberly Kirner is running an online survey on Pagans and access to healthcare. This is a follow-up to her 2010 survey which revealed some important information about Pagans and pregnancy.
"Why should you take the Pagan Health Survey II? I am Pagan Druid and a cultural anthropologist at California State University, Northridge. I started the Pagan Health Survey in 2010, which provided a snapshot into the Pagan community, including our beliefs about healing and wellness and the choices we make in navigating the health care community. From the first survey, we learned that our community shares some strong common models about healing and wellness and that we have particular challenges in obtaining optimal health care. The top two challenges Pagans faced were:
- Linkages to Pagan-friendly, culturally competent health professionals and
- Barriers to accessing adequate health care among those who have lower incomes, rural locations, minority status, and/or who are seniors.The Pagan Health Survey II investigates these two challenges in more depth. Your participation will provide better data for community organizing, educating the public and health care community, and assisting Pagan leaders in responding to the community's healing and wellness needs."
The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete, is confidential, and is open to people over 18, living in the U.S., and identified with Paganism, Heathenism, or othernature spirituality. Here's the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/paganhealt
The information gathered by this survey could be very useful in helping us to support Pagans through their childbearing years.
Thanks to The Wild Hunt for tipping us off.

After LDS church opposes medical marijuana bill, lawmaker will not back off
(KUTV) Utah Senator Mark Madsen said fighting old perceptions about pot have made his efforts to legalize medical marijuana an uphill battle. Then came another hurdle Friday when the Mormon Church said it opposed his bill.
Still, Madsen, who is Mormon, said he won't back down because polls show most Utah residents support the proposed law. Plus, people with serious medical conditions could really use the pain relief.
"It would be immoral to back down," he said.
Madsen said he loves his church and reveres the leaders of the LDS church but he also said he is acting on principle in pushing the legislation because he knows it will make a huge difference in people's lives.
"I don't want to let them down," he said.
On Monday, three days after the Mormon Church said it opposed his bill because legalizing marijuana could have "unintended consequences", Madsen said he'd lost one, possibly two votes from lawmakers who were swayed by the Church's public announcement.
Madsen said he doesn't know why LDS church leaders oppose the bill. They haven't explained what they think are the "unintended consequences."
Madsen said every time he's tried to meet with church leaders to discuss his bill, he gets a vague response. He'd love to sit down with them an discuss all the research in support of the legislation.
He said if the LDS Church, which has a big influence on Utah culture and politics wants to weigh in on an issue, they should say more.
"They people that are affected by it, I think, might be entitled to some kind of explanation," he said of the church's public statement.
Madsen said he'll have to work harder to convince other colleagues about the benefits of medical marijuana as a safer alternative to prescription pain medications which are addictive and can be deadly. The Utah Department of Health said in 2014, 288 Utahns died after overdosing on prescription pain medications.
Madsen himself nearly died in 2007, when he accidentally overdosed on prescription pain medication.
His doctor prescribed him a fentanyl patch for back pain. The patch burst, sending the medication right into his bloodstream. His kids found him on the couch. He was cold and not breathing. His family revived him with the help of 911.
That's when he first became concerned about finding safer alternatives to opioids or prescription pain medications.
Years later, when children with severe epilepsy told lawmakers they wanted the legalization of marijuana oil to help with their severe seizures, Madsen said he knew he had to do something.
"I realized there were people out there who were suffering," he said.

Over the past several weeks there has been speculation that WWE could possibly be adding a fourth member to The Shield group.
Recently one of NXT's top wrestlers replied to an earlier tweet from Seth Rollins saying that he "believes in the Shield". Rollins wrote the following message on Tuesday:
"Tearing down that wall. Brick by brick by brick. We don't need no thought control. #BelieveInTheShield #raw"
NXT Star Sami Zayn,(AKA El Generico) then later responded with:

YORKVILLE, Ill. (AP) - March 28, 2011 --A flotilla of yellow rubber ducks intended for a fund-raising event has been stolen from a police academy in suburban Chicago.
The Beacon-News in Aurora says Friday that some 2,500 ducks took flight this week from the Yorkville Citizens Police Academy.
Police say several of the toy ducks have been found on a Yorkville roadway and request that any more found be returned to the academy.
Police plan to use the toy ducks in their annual "Duck Pluck" to raise funds for the academy.

I've been a happy smoker for the better part of fifteen years, starting at 13, rolling my own since 15 and never really thinking of quitting as I lived on black coffee and cigarettes in a local jazz bar all through high school and college (this was when you could still smoke in bars). It didn't even bother me that much that I was sick for weeks on end every winter and couldn't ride my bike for a mile without needing to lie down. I once had a cough so bad an on-call doctor thought I might have tuberculosis. I read the Allen Carr book that month, and managed to quit for a whopping 8 hours.
It wasn't until I hit 30 and got serious about quitting, that I got stuck in the horrible Sisyphean cycle of addiction. It looks like this:

What to do downtown after work
Good, good music
Bad Bad Hats are back. After a three-week tour across the country, members of the Minneapolis indie rock-pop trio have returned to their stomping ground to begin writing a new album, the first since releasing their successful debut record, 2015's "Psychic Reader."
The band — frontwoman Kerry Alexander, drummer Chris Hoge and bassist Noah Boswell — will play back-to-back shows at First Avenue's 7th St Entry on March 4. Fellow locals Wingman, whose Connor Davison plays with Bad Bad Hats on tour, will open.
We caught up with Alexander to talk about the buzz around the band and what their new music will sound like. The conversation has been edited and condensed.
Are you getting good reactions across the country?
Touring is a kind of a crazy thing. The more we play, it's funny the people that come back to the shows. A lot of the times we get people who saw us in one place, like on one side of the country, and then see us another place. Like in New York we had two girls who had seen us in Alabama. It's just amazing. I think we've been seeing more repeat listeners.
Recently you've been featured in The New Yorker and other national media. Has that attention translated to your shows?
We feel very grateful to get that coverage. We played some of our very first headlining shows on the East Coast. You never really sure what to expect. We've done a lot of opening gigs and there's a lot of built-in audience for the headliner. We were really pleased that people came out to the shows when we were headlining.
Twin Cities acts seem to be gaining ground on the national music scene. Is it a good time to be a Minneapolis musician?
I certainly think so. I love representing Minneapolis on the road. It's fun to see how many people from Minnesota end up at shows all across the country. People always come up to say "We're from Rosemount or Brainerd." I really like coming from a scene that's not as established as a New York or a Los Angeles. It feels like bands like us and our friends in bands are building a scene ourselves. It feels like a new, fertile ground for really cool music.
Now that you're back in Minneapolis, where is your new album at?
We're slated to record in April. We have a good handful of demos we're working on. We've been playing two or three new songs on this tour. We've been gauging the reaction, and people seem to like them. (Minneapolis audiences) are going to hear some new songs, at least one they've never heard before. I think we'll take March and go back through the demos that we've written and see what songs are sticking with people the most.
What are you doing to prepare for writing this record?
I listened to Cate Le Bon's "Mug Museum" a lot once I started writing songs for this album. Brett Bullion — the producer on Psychic Reader, who is also producing our new record — has been encouraging me to listen to really different kinds of music. He's like, "Whatever you would normally listen to, don't listen to that." It's been fun to go to Electric Fetus and look for cool international records and finding "The Greatest Hits of Greece" or music from Zimbabwe. Who knows how that will come across in an album, if it ever will. It's been a nice musical journey nonetheless. I just try to write music that feels right and sounds cool. I like exploring different styles on an album, and I think you'll see some of that dabbling of different vibes.
What would you recommend to our readers?
We've been really enjoying Carroll's new album, "As Far as Gardens Go". People should check out Wingman. We've been listening to a lot of cool stuff in the van this tour. I've been a really big fan of Tancred. Her latest album, ("Out of the Garden"), has been on heavy rotation for me. It's the exact style of music that got me into music when I was younger. It feels kind of nostalgic and it's really fun. I like her approach to songwriting and rock music. Certainly, Angel Olsen has gotten a lot of plays. Also, Solange Knowles' new album, "A Seat at the Table." I've been enjoying "Cranes in the Sky."
A happier hour
Café Lurcat is adding an extra level to its happy hour with, well, an even happier hour. In addition to offering its daily happy hour from 4:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m., the bar has begun the "happiest hour" from 4:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m., which will see cocktails running you around $5-$7. But there's more. There's also a new menu of $5 snacks to fit whatever post-work mood you're in, from Lurcat's signature burger and curry crab cakes to cinnamon-sugar donuts and lettuce wraps with beef short rib. This means you can have a martini and fish tacos and still walk out of the bar for less than $15.
Not that Balto
From your first listen Portland-based band Balto might sound familiar even if you've never heard them before. The rock group, which just released their first full length, "Strangers," in five years, weaves together rock, gospel and psychedelic music with results reminiscent of local band Night Moves or even My Morning Jacket. Songs like "Born Astray" show off Luke Beckel's versatile voice, which moves from a whiskey-soaked whisper to a loud rasp that feels at home with a gospel choir. Others, such as "Lost on the Young," the album's opening track, have frontman Daniel Sheron bring out the band's emotion-laded Americana roots. Balto will bring their new work to Day Block Brewing on March 9 so you can even grab a beer or a pizza while you listen. If you want to grab the album, "Strangers" was released Feb. 24 via Total Reality Meltdown.

Is it ok to lay on my back?
2 answers
I heard that you shouldn't lay on your back while you are pregnant? Is that true? I am about 6 weeks, and wondering if I should start sleeping on my side...what about when I lie on the couch to watch a movie?

It isn't going to make much of a difference at this point in time. The issue is that the weight of your uterus (when it is much fuller, mind you) can block off two main blood carriers in your body (the aorta and the cava vena). They run down your spinal area directly below the uterus when on your back. This can restrict precious blood supply to your baby. It is not much of an issue when baby is the size of a peapod, but will become more of a thing to worry about around 16+ weeks (this also depends on your progression). You also have some major blood supply on your right side, so laying on your left when you are in your last few weeks is the most ideal (but don't panic about it). I asked my Doc this same question, and she said, don't worry, your body will tell you... legs will tingle, discomfort to you will happen before issues to your baby.

NORMAN, Okla. — The rocky road Kansas State has traveled away from home has been well documented with five straight losses. With two road games in the next four days, coach Bruce Weber was questioned about the importance of finally getting a win.
"We won one," Weber was quick to point out. "We beat TCU."
That good natured response came Wednesday after K-State beat TCU a second time, its 14th straight homecourt victory. Weber, though, followed up by acknowledging the importance of playing well on the road as the Wildcats travel to Oklahoma on Saturday and Texas Tech on Tuesday.
"It would be nice to get one," he said. "The whole thing is building a (NCAA Tournament) résumé. We have some great wins at home, we have some neutral wins. It would be nice to get a nice win on the road, there's no doubt. I think we've made progress from the Kansas game. Really from TCU; that wasn't a masterpiece by any means. At Kansas we struggled, Texas we were right there, Baylor you're right there.
"The coaches have begged and pleaded to play with energy on defense the first half on the road and I think we made some strides with that the last two. Now you just have to find a way to win it."
K-State (18-8, 8-5 Big 12) and Oklahoma (19-7, 8-5) are tied for third place in the conference — along with Iowa State — entering the 3 p.m. tipoff at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners have an 11-3 record at Lloyd Noble but lost their last time at home to Texas Tech, 68-60, following that with a road win over Oklahoma State.
The Wildcats won the first matchup with the Sooners on Jan. 14 in Manhattan, 72-66, limiting Cameron Clark to a season-low two points on 1-for-9 shooting. All five OU starters have double-figure scoring averages, led by Buddy Hield at 16.7 and Clark at 15.4, for a team average of 82.7 a game that ranks second in the Big 12.
"They want to play a real fast pace," Wildcat guard Will Spradling said. "We play up-tempo sometimes but that's not something we want to get into with them. We don't want to make it a game of runs so we have to lock down on defense and push the ball when we have opportunities but also take care of the ball and be smart."
Shane Southwell, the primary defender on Clark in the earlier game, is expected to play after sitting out the past two games with a foot injury, although his minutes could be limited. Nino Williams started in place of Southwell and scored 20 and 11 points in the two games but continues to fight foul trouble, an area that has plagued the K-State front-line players throughout the season.
"Nino had 45 (minutes) against Baylor," Weber said of the double-overtime road loss. "The big thing is staying out of foul trouble. That was the reason (Wednesday) it was only 19. He got a couple of cheap ones. Some of it is us not doing a good job in our defensive scheme — being a little late, the wrong person helping. Nino over-helps. Some guys don't help at all and he over-helps and a lot of times that's when he gets fouls because he's helping somebody else who should have helped and now he's out of position."
The Wildcats continue to lead the Big 12 in team defense, allowing 63.2 points a game, and it will take their best effort to hold the Sooners in check.
"You have to be locked in defensively because Oklahoma can score in bunches," Weber said.
Tipoff: 3 p.m. Saturday, Lloyd Noble Center, Norman, Okla.
Line: TBA.

So I FINALLY got another shirt made and listed on Etsy. Amazing how time flies! I'm needing to re-evaluate my expectations of the time it takes to make products and post them.
I think I find product focus to be the most difficult thing at this point. I have so many ideas floating around (ok, more like exploding) in my head that it is impossible to keep up with them. So, I am trying to practice patience. Patience with the pace at which I can create while still work in my day-job a few days a week, be a good mom and wife, and have some me-time. And also patience with the pace of selling on Etsy. This will take some time. But what a wonderful surpise today: I was featured in a Treasury – Brown Beauties. Hooray!!
While I'm not quite ready to officially call this a "goal", I will attempt to blog more. I'd like to reach at least one blog post per week in the next month. Just to keep the flow going:)
