Miles, It would be good to get your facts correct before sending something like this out. The OS on the D700 is not being reloaded. Only the parameters and channels are being reset. We have no evidence of any king of failure of the D700. The only problem is that some of the parameters were changed during the attempt to use it for SSTV. We do not know what changes were made and have no simple way to determine what they were. The only practical solution is to completely reload all the parameters and channel data to a known set of values. We hope to have that done by Charles Simonyi. He has generously agreed to use some of his precious time to do that while onboard ISS. It is not a fully approved thing yet since the software must be certified to be safe before it can be sent to the ISS. We are in the process of doing that at this time. You imply that there has been a failure of the D700. This is a disservice to the folks who built it, donated it to the ISS-HAM project and have given us their full support all along. While it is possible to see some effects from the radiation environment eventually, we haven't seen any yet. This is after all a radio designed for use under the protective Earth's atmosphere. Let's not make any assumptions without having some facts to support them. You also state that there is a cable problem with the Ericsson. We do not know that for a fact. All we know is that there were some problems with a school contact. This problem could have been caused by a cable or from ground or onboard interference. Until we can do some tests we can only speculate. Speculation is a counterproductive exercise. We are also hoping to get a test done on the Ericsson while Charles is on ISS. That is also not for sure at this time. We are looking forward to him having a great flight.

Poll: Slight edge for Dem convention
Americans were more impressed by the Democratic National Convention than by the GOP gathering in Tampa, with former President Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention winning over even GOP and independent voters, a new poll Monday showed.
Forty-three percent of those surveyed said the Democratic convention made them more likely to vote for President Barack Obama, according to a Gallup poll, while 40 percent said the Republican National Convention made them more likely to vote for GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
Story Continued Below
A majority of Americans — 56 percent — said Clinton's speech was either "excellent" or "good." Fifty-two percent of independents said the same. Three-tenths of Republicans said the same, and an additional 28 percent conceded Clinton's speech was "OK."
Forty-three percent of Americans said President Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention was "excellent" or "good." Only 38 percent said the same of Romney's speech in Tampa. Those are the lowest totals since Gallup began tracking the speeches in 1996.
The survey of 1,045 adults was conducted on September 7 and 8. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points.

The economic crisis has taken a toll on nearly every corner of the American economy, including the financial position of most US states. With shrinking tax revenues, some states are considering drastic measures to balance their budget.
In the most recent state budget report from the National Conference of State Legislatures(NCSL), the highest estimates for the 2011 budget gap demonstrate how bad the situation could get in the coming year. In order to close their 2010 budget gaps, most US states have been forced to cut spending, increase taxes, sell bonds or look to the federal government for help. But if the nation's economic situation doesn't dramatically improve, states may face even more daunting gaps in their 2011 budgets.
The NCSL highlights that although spending overruns are pinching state budgets, the principle cause of budget gaps is a steep drop-off in state revenues arising from lower-than-expected returns from income and sales taxes. States with the worst positions are ranked here according to the expected budget gap as a percentage of individual state general funds.
So, which states are potentially facing the worst 2010 budget gaps? Here are the 15 that are expecting the toughest road ahead.

Between Russell Westbrook's knee in Oklahoma City and Kobe Bryant's Achilles logging impressive travel miles between Los Angeles and Germany, Fantasy basketball drafts will also provide an indication of how several early round performers also returning from injury will fare.
Beyond Westbrook and Bryant, no one will make or break a draft like Bulls PG Derrick Rose, whose Battle of Wounded Knee extended through the entire 2012-13 season, during which the former surefire first-round pick remained sidelined. He is slowly working his way back onto the court and expects to be ready for Chicago's October 29 season opener against Miami.
Even at about 80-90 percent, Rose provides immediate impact to a Bulls team that finished 29th in scoring last season. A career 21.0/3.8/6.8 line screams across the board improvement for a Chicago team that was way too reliant on its defense. Rose won't help your FG percentage much, especially if he looks to hoist 3-pointers at the same 4.4 clip he delivered in 2011-12, as Rose's .312 mark from beyond the arc will easily burn off a couple of percentage points.
The depth at PG makes it easy not to gamble on Rose, who has established himself as a solid early-to-mid second round pick. The Bulls will be patient in bringing Rose along, but even if he hits his career line, the foundation of your backcourt will be solid. Those leery of a possible setback or concerned about Rose's numbers taking a hit would be wise to follow up and grab a second-tier PG like the Suns' Goran Dragic or Jeremy Lin of the Rockets.
While Rose appears to be slated for what should be a smooth return to Fantasy dominance, a host of other players returning from the ER will make for intriguing tracking once exhibition games begin in full next week:
Diagnosis: Torn ACL
Expectations: The league's leader in assists (11.1) has participated in offensive drills, yet has not been able to take part in physical contact. Rondo — who sustained the injury in April — isn't likely to return until sometime in late December and probably won't be near his All-Star level until near the break. Thus far, he has been an average mid-to-late sixth round pick, which is kind of high for someone who will likely give you barely half a season of production.
How to Draft Rondo: If he's there in the sixth or seventh round, it would be hard to pass him up, more so if you used an early pick on a top-flight PG. A healthy Rondo — combined with, say, the Timberwolves' Ricky Rubio — would be a heck of a guard pairing come Fantasy playoff time. In roto leagues, Rondo makes for a great stash and save, as he would give your rebounding, steals and (definitely) assist totals an immediate jolt.
Andrew Bynum, C, Cavaliers
Diagnosis: Knee
Expectations: Whenever the words "nowhere near ready" are involved in asking when a player is going to return, either head for the hills or downgrade the hell out of said player. That would be you, Mr. Bynum, as a source told Fox Sports Ohio that while he has started basketball activities, don't count on him being available during the early portion of the season. Somehow, that news didn't reach a host of early drafts I either participated in or observed, as Bynum has gone as early as the fifth round en route to settling into a late seventh round selection overall.
How to Draft Bynum: Well, he did say he was "definitely" going to play at some point this season. Encouraging, I know. The center position is surprisingly deep, which means reaching for Bynum would be foolish. Instead of wasting a fifth rounder on him, one can wait another round or two and take a flier on the Nuggets' Javale McGee, Marcin Gortat of the Suns or even Omar Asik of the Rockets, who should still put up respectable Fantasy numbers, even with the presence of Dwight Howard. A healthy Bynum won't give you much scoring in Cleveland, but his dunk or be damned style of shooting makes him a valuable chip in FG percentage, while his rebounds and blocked shots will amplify numbers once he returns.
Danilo Gallinari, F, Nuggets
Diagnosis: Torn ACL
Expectations: Both Gallinari and new coach Brian Shaw have hinted at a late November return for the long-range threat. His absence all but sealed the Nuggets' first round fate at the hands of the Warriors, as Denver sorely missed his shooting and his ability to spark plays off transition. Gallinari averaged 16.2 points last season, and while he'll help your numbers in FT percentage (.822), he only provides minimal help on the glass (5.2 rpg) and doesn't give much in steals and blocked shots. If he was healthy, Gallinari might have been a solid 7th-8th round pick, but his injury and underwhelming defensive numbers push him more toward the 9th and 10th rounds, where he becomes a nice flier upon his return.
How to Draft Gallinari: Simple. You don't. If he's there and you're interested in stashing off instant offense, then he's worth a look. On the other hand, there are a host of players (Jeff Green of the Celtics or Tyreke Evans of the Pelicans, for example) that will give just as much offensive production while also delivering slightly better numbers defensively.

Taking customer service to a whole new altitude2014-03-05 12:35:00.0
What makes United Airlines' invitation to "Fly the Friendly Skies" so appealing? Many will tell you it's veteran pilot, Capt. Dennis Flanagan, who takes customer service as seriously as he does the panel of instruments in the cockpit.
Flanagan, whose efforts to go the extra mile have been featured by media outlets ranging from the Wall Street Journal and USA Today to the CBS News, will discuss the importance of customer service and the returns it can offer to companies, when he is hosted on campus for the H. Peter Burg Personal Leadership and Development Speaker Series. His talk, which will be held Tuesday, March 18, at 2 p.m., in the Student Union Theatre, is free and open to the campus community and the public.
Seizing opportunities
A U.S. Navy pilot before joining United Airlines nearly 20 years ago, Flanagan calls Cleveland home. His brand of customer service includes:
- Writing personalized thank you notes to first-class passengers and frequent fliers on the back of his business card;
- Calling the parents of unaccompanied minors during a flight to assure them all is well;
- Ordering food or serving coffee for passengers during flight delays;
- Walking pets during those long flight delays; and
- Holding drawings mid-flight for discount tickets or bottles of wine.
"It's part of our job to take care of our customers," Flanagan said when interviewed by CBS News. "It takes seconds, really. It's working from the heart."
Flanagan's successful approach to customer service can be applied in any business or industry, notes Dr. William Hauser, interim assistant dean, director of graduate business programs and associate professor of marketing.
Lessons everyone can use
"Whether it is in business or achieving student success, knowing your customers and meeting/exceeding their needs is at the heart of any successful and ongoing relationship," says Hauser. "Capt. Denny Flanagan has been able to achieve this in the airline industry, one of today's most challenging areas for meeting customer satisfaction. We invite everyone who interacts with customers to come listen, learn and apply."
The H. Peter Burg Personal Leadership and Development Speaker Series was created in 2012 to provide an opportunity for University of Akron students to learn from highly successful alumni, local business and community champions, and nationally recognized leaders. The guest speakers exemplify the qualities, ethics and sense of public service demonstrated and valued by the late H. Peter Burg, former CEO of FirstEnergy and a UA alumnus.
For more information, contact Sarah J. Cupples at 330-972-7429, or email@example.com, or Kristina Floyd at 330-972-7043 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
To better the customer experience, United Airlines pilot Captain Dennis Flanagan has been known to serve coffee or order pizza for passengers during flight delays.

Nature Notes: Keep Spinning, World
The shortest day is only four days away. The winter solstice is not a bad day in my book, Christmas follows in 5 days, New Year's Day in 11 days, and the days begin lengthening not a moment too soon.
Durell GodfreyIf it weren't for the turn of the earth and its rotation around the sun once a year, everything would be the same.
Can you imagine how important that day is to the Scandinavians, the Aleuts, Inuits, Alaskans, and northern Siberians, not to forget those Canadians around Hudson Bay and in the Northwest Territory, where darkness prevails almost around the clock? The summer solstice is not so welcome, particularly after a beautiful May and early June when the leaves stand replete on the trees and all of the songbirds are nesting and singing their territorial songs. From then on the weather turns oppressively hot and the days' lengths begin to dwindle down.
We often forget how our lives and our lives' moods are almost completely dependent upon the turn of the earth. Of course, it's the same for all of the plants and animals, which, in the company of good old Homo sapiens, us, all have annual cycles and cycles through the seasons in different ways.
At this latitude the vast majority of the plants become dormant by the time of the first frost, many mammals and all of the frogs, land turtles, snakes, and salamanders go into hibernation or semihibernation. Most of the birds migrate south to warmer climes and greater food supplies, while not a few different fish species either retreat to deeper water or follow the coast southward led by waves of striped bass and bluefish.
Except for the conifers and a few hardwood evergreens, the trees are not taking up carbon dioxide, while the amount of it produced by human activities, whether one heats with coal, natural gas, oil, or wood, increases. The factories don't stop for a moment and air and land traffic continue almost unabated. Thanksgiving and Christmas are among the busiest time for autos and planes. On the other hand, the plants, while dormant, aren't respiring either, that is, taking in oxygen during darkness and expelling carbon dioxide as a waste product, the same as we do.
The plants at our latitude are not transpiring, either. With them not pulling precious groundwater out of the water table, the water table and freshwater aquifer beneath tend to swell upward, filling the water closet to capacity for the beehive goings-on of spring and summer to follow. In a way we were meant to "chill out" during the winter, in olden days pre-Walbaum, Walmart, I.G.A., and mom-and-pops, the larder was filled during the summer and early fall. It had to last for five months until the first harvesting of fish and farm produce in the spring. Chickens laid eggs throughout the year and cows gave milk throughout the year, in fact, every day, but except for what the hunters brought to the table, that was it.
Up until the middle 1950s, most of us out here in the boondocks canned, cured hams, made jams and jellies, and put away foodstuffs in root cellars and the like. Those days are gone. Save for extreme rural life situations, as far as food is concerned, every one of the 365 days of the year for us humans is not so different from every other one. Television is the same throughout the year. Newspapers read similarly whether it's spring, summer, fall, or winter. Internet news is still Internet news. Movies don't change much. Restaurant menus stay the same. Except for vacations, we work as hard in the winter as we do in the summer.
Yes, recreational activities are seasonally dependent, but they still mostly involve the movement of arms and legs in a somewhat rhythmic fashion. For some, the treadmills and lifting exercises in the local exercise spas go on day in and day out. Not a lot of difference there, same as feeding the chickens and cows and collecting their eggs and milk. If it weren't for the turn of the earth and its rotation around the sun once a year, everything would be the same, day in and day out. We would become more and more and more robotic with each passing day, each passing year.
I know some people out there make a new day out of each one falling throughout the calendar year. They follow the sun throughout its daily arc. They never miss a moon rise, and occasionally observe the stars and look at Orion now and track all of the other constellations and planets that move through the cosmos yearly. Even though the stars they're observing may be thousands of light-years away and, in fact, may have fizzled out or exploded hundreds of years ago, as far as the observers are concerned, they are out there tomorrow night just as bright as the night before.
Maybe if we were able to put aside our frenzied workaday lives for a long moment or two each day and observe the changes from dim light to bright light to dim light to dark and all of the things that happen outside our window during those changes, we would save ourselves from becoming the consumption-dependent robots that we are becoming. We'd feel better and instead of comparing ourselves and our status to one another's, we'd get to know ourselves a little better before we take that final plunge into senility and eternal darkness that is the only inevitability that riches and status can never deter.
Keep spinning, world. May we all spin along with you. Happy holidays!

We're back, catching up on unfinished business from our last Retouching post several weeks ago. We promised some good HDR and Retouching techniques -- so here they are, even one from Mr. Photoshop himself, Colin Smith . . .
* Using the HDR Feature in Photoshop CS2/CS3
* How to Create Professional HDR Images
* Infrared Photo Effect in Photoshop
* What is HDR and why do we need it?
* Results Using Layers in Photoshop
* Exposure blending tutorial
... and MORE
Using the HDR Feature in Photoshop CS2/CS3
This thorough tutorial walks you through the basic concept of HDR photography and how to use Photoshop to make your photographs pop. Author Sean Mchugh writes :
High dynamic range (HDR) images enable photographers to record a greater range of tonal detail than a camera could capture in a single photo. This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities which one might have previously avoided — for purely technical reasons. The new "merge to HDR" feature of Photoshop accomplishes this by combining a series of bracketed exposures into a single image, which encompasses the tonal detail of the entire series.
Full story : Sean Mchugh for Cambridge in Colour

How to Create Professional HDR Images
Here's an excellent (and very popular) tutorial on creating high dynamic range (HDR) images; the author focuses on realism instead of going overboard with the application of HDR. Author Ryan McGinnis writes :
I've noticed as I look around that most of the other photographers out there who work with HDR are creating images that, while often extremely interesting, look absoloutely nothing at all like the scene they were shooting -- and even if they do get it close, they end up with photos that have an enormous amount of HDR processing artifacts, such as halos. The reason for this is a popular program known as Photomatix. Photomatix is actually a very competent HDR assembler, but it's tone mapping functions tend to look a bit on the silly side. At least in my opinion.

More than 300 trustees, faculty, staff, students, and invited guests gathered in the courtyard of FGCU's new health professions facility to celebrate the official grand opening of Dr. Elaine Nicpon Marieb Hall.
The University named the facility in honor of Dr. Marieb, whose $5 million leadership gift will transform health professions education at FGCU. The gift ensures superior education, research, and community outreach; and creates a scholarship endowment that will support students studying in the health professions.
Of Dr. Marieb's generous support of the university, FGCU president, Wilson G. Bradshaw said, "Talented, committed, well-educated and trained health professionals provide critical services for our community and our nation. Dr. Marieb's investment in FGCU's health professions programs ensures that our students and faculty study, teach, and learn in a superb facility."
Marieb Hall opened its doors to faculty and students in January and has been providing state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories for teaching, learning, and research.
In speaking about the process of choosing FGCU for her investment, Dr. Marieb said:
"When I began to search for a gifting and naming opportunity, I [was] looking at four criteria very important to me as a teacher.
"First, the college or university's goal is to be highly ranked for its academics. There is little question that FGCU is working diligently toward that end. Furthermore, I am very impressed by its faculty and administration.
"Second, the institution needs to be actively growing and forward-looking in its curricula.... The physical growth of the campus in just a few years has been astounding.
"Third, its physical facilities have to be at the cutting edge for teaching effectiveness. FGCU's facilities in Marieb Hall are breathtaking...they are the best I've seen, and I've seen a lot.
"Fourth, the faculty, curricula, and facilities must ... produce graduates that will be highly sought after and well paid...
FGCU and Marieb Hall have handily met my criteria...I knew that this was the place."

49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree missed Thursday's practice and it looks like he will miss several more before he's well enough to return to the field.
Coach Jim Harbaugh didn't share what forced Crabtree out of practice, saying only that he is "working through something," and that he could miss a week or two of training camp while healing up.
Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports Harbaugh did say that the injury Crabtree is working through wasn't to his foot or Achilles. Crabtree tore his Achilles before last season and missed 11 games before returning for the end of the regular season and the playoffs. He also dealt with foot injuries before his rookie season and a couple of years into his professional career.
Avoiding a recurrence of a past injury would obviously be a good thing for Crabtree, although the lack of specifics make it hard to know how much this absence might impact Crabtree's return. His work in training camp thus far has earned good reviews from quarterback Colin Kaepernick and offensive coordinator Greg Roman, though, so the team will be hoping this is just a bump in the road to a successful season.

Mitchell Bans Texting While Driving in City Limits
MITCHELL - The Mitchell City Council has voted to ban texting while driving in the city.
The Monday night vote was 4-3 in favor of the ban. Mayor Ken Tracy says the goal isn't to issue tickets, but to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving.
Mitchell joins Sioux Falls, Brookings, Watertown, Vermillion and Huron in implementing local bans. A proposed statewide ban failed in the Legislature earlier this year.

Fire chief describes Poquonnock Bridge financial problems
Groton - Poquonnock Bridge Fire Chief Todd Paige told the district board Thursday it owes more than $461,000 this month, not including payroll, and the district will be out of money by February or March.
Paige also said the district owes Groton Utilities more than $99,000 for fire hydrant rentals.
Taxpayers recently approved a budget of $3.5 million for the year that began July 1, about half of what the board had sought and not enough to cover payroll. Voters also elected three new board members.
The new board met for the first time since that budget was set Thursday at the Groton Senior Center. Members authorized Paige to pay the bills owed for July and scheduled another meeting for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Senior Center to come up with a future spending plan.
The board then went into executive session to discuss the firefighters' union contract as it relates to the budget.
About 40 taxpayers and firefighters attending the meeting Thursday, some of whom spoke angrily about the district's finances and potential cuts. Some demanded that reports be read aloud, shouting from their seats.
Others waited to speak.
"You are entrusted with a huge amount of tax money collected from us and it is definitely our business what you do with it," Cindy Baril said.
Other speakers said they're upset the district still hasn't fixed its ladder truck but is depending on Groton City for mutual aid.
Hank Steinford said he had a fire at his house earlier this year and the last truck to arrive was the City of Groton's ladder truck.
"Had it been a situation where someone was upstairs it would have been a disaster," he said.
One potential cut that may be considered would be to limit firefighters' response to medical calls. Firefighters in Poquonnock Bridge are considered first responders to medical calls, meaning they are dispatched along with an ambulance and often arrive first.
Joan Steinford, his wife and a member of Representative Town Meeting, said she's concerned about timely response to medical calls. She said a woman two doors away had a stroke, and the ambulance took almost 15 minutes. But Steinford said Poquonnock Bridge firefighters arrived quickly, got her oxygen and helped her.
"Time is of the essence with stroke," Steinford said. "I've had one."
Libbie Burdick, whose husband Robert Burdick served as Poquonnock fire chief from 1979 until his death in 1993, said of the board before the meeting: "They're playing with people's lives."
She told the board she was distressed by what has happened, and added, "I know he is."
She then presented a small bouquet to Paige to recognize the firefighters for their decades of service.
During an earlier interview, Noank Fire District Chairman Frank Socha said firefighters are frequently the first on the scene of an emergency.
Socha, who also has worked as a 911 dispatcher in Groton since 1989, said all of the town's fire departments, including Groton City, Noank, Mystic, Old Mystic and Center Groton, respond to emergency medical calls.
Groton has two ambulance services, Socha explained; Groton Ambulance on Route 117 and Mystic River Ambulance on Sandy Hollow Road, which covers a portion of Stonington.
Mystic River responds to Poquonnock Bridge only for mutual aid if Groton Ambulance is unavailable, Socha said.
He said because ambulances take patients to hospitals and answer multiple calls, crews may be at some distance when an emergency call comes in, and it could be eight to 10 minutes before an ambulance arrives. Those minutes can make a difference, he said.
"It's all about time, really," he said. "Time is the key element."

Sales Contracts to Buy US Homes Rose Last Month
WASHINGTON (AP) - Slightly more Americans signed contracts last month to buy homes, an increase that signals further gains in the housing recovery.
The National Association of Realtors says its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements rose in September to a reading of 99.5. That's up from August's reading of 99.2 but below a two-year high of 101.9 reached in July. Contracts are up 14.5 percent from a year ago.
A reading above 100 is considered healthy. The index bottomed at 75.88 in June 2010 after a homebuyer's tax credit expired.
The pending home sales index is a measure of the number of signed contracts to purchase homes. The index can signal where the housing market is headed because a signed contract usually results in a final sale one or two months later.

I remember struggling in an intro chemistry class. I was totally lost and knew I needed help. I decided that a study group was the solution, so guess what I did? I asked the smartest guy in the room if he wanted to form a group with me. He readily agreed (maybe so he could show off his superior intellect!), we invited a couple of other students and long story short, I understood the material better, my grades improved and I made some unlikely new friends.
It was a win-win-win situation.
Done correctly, study groups are a great way to clarify concepts, review difficult material and prepare for tests. But there is some strategy to forming and working in a group.
If your group doesn't seem to gel after two or three meetings, you might not have the right mix of people. Be willing to kick out people who do any of the following:
Don't just form a study group for your most difficult classes; have one for each subject. There's nothing like a little peer pressure to keep you motivated, interested and excited about learning.

1. Using an atlas, world map or globe, locate the Atlantic Ocean, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Greenland, Iceland, Germany and Great Britain. Mark them on Map 2.
2. Using an atlas or a United States map, locate New York City. Mark it on Map 2.
3. On Map 2, draw a line between New York City and Great Britain. This would be the most direct route between the two and a logical shipping lane. However, German submarines patrolled these shipping lanes. Try to determine other routes to get the supplies from New York City to Great Britain and chart them on Map 2. What might be the difficulties of traveling to the north to reach Great Britain? What might be the difficulties of traveling to the south?

By Artemisia Ng and Melanie Lee
HONG KONG/SHANGHAI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - A Chinese tech firm that claims it still owns the iPad trademark will seek a ban on exports of Apple Inc's computer tablets from China, which could deal a blow to the U.S. technology giant's sales worldwide.
Proview Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd is petitioning Chinese customs to stop shipments of Apple's popular iPads in and out of China, but has not received a response, lawyer Xie Xianghui told Asian Legal Business, a Thomson Reuters publication.
Apple said it bought Proview's worldwide rights to the trademark in 10 different countries several years ago, including rights to the iPad name from a Taiwan subsidiary. However, Proview claims the sale did not cover the trademark's use in China.
"Proview refuses to honor their agreement with Apple in China and a Hong Kong court has sided with Apple in this matter," an Apple spokeswoman said.
Customs officials could not be reached for comment, and Proview declined to comment.
Apple could be in a very difficult situation if it had mistakenly bought rights from the wrong Proview subsidiary, said Thomas Chan, a Los Angeles-based attorney who has represented companies in trademark licensing negotiations with Apple.
"They've got a real, real problem," Chan said. "They're going to pay through the nose."
Apple's legal tussle with Proview Technology (Shenzhen) over the trademark name iPad, is emerging as the latest headache for the U.S. giant in a booming market and highlights the legal challenges facing foreign multinationals operating in China.
Not only is China a huge consumer market but it is also a major production base for the U.S. company's iconic products including the iPad, iPhone and iPod media player.
This week Apple announced it had agreed to an outside inspection of working conditions at its main contract manufacturers, including Foxconn's plants in southern China.
Apple lost a case to Proview Technology (Shenzhen) in a Shenzhen court in southern China late last year when the court agreed that Proview owned the iPad trademark.
Apple has appealed the decision and a final hearing is due to start in the southern Guangdong High Court on Feb 29. This court's decision will be final under the Chinese legal process.
Proview's latest salvo comes a day after media reports that authorities in some Chinese cities had ordered retailers to stop selling Apple's iPad due to the dispute. It has asked authorities in about 20 cities, including Shijiazhuang near Beijing, to stop the sales.
Proview has also filed lawsuits against Apple in Shanghai and Shenzhen, and retailers selling iPads in Futian and Huizhou, located in the south of the country.
Apple's options are limited to either settling with Proview Technology (Shenzhen), appealing to a higher court, or facing devastating enforcement actions in China, legal experts said.
"There are two views we can take here. One view is, Apple was not sufficiently prudent and therefore, this was missed by Apple and its attorneys," said Elliot Papageorgiou, a Shanghai-based partner and executive at law firm Rouse Legal (China).
"A more charitable view would be that, Apple said that for business reasons we need to use this brand and as far as the name in China is concerned, let's cross the bridge when we come to it," he said.
Proview lawyer Xie, partner of Grandall Law Firm's Shenzhen office, said Apple is not in negotiations with the Chinese firm.
Local media reported recently that Proview was taking legal action, seeking up to 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in compensation from Apple for trademark infringement.
"Without a win in that Shenzhen case, all the other actions, whether it is administrative or with different courts, customs, Apple is not in a good position at all," said Stan Abrams, an IP law professor at Beijing's Central University of Finance and Economics.

F-1 Students Forms and Procedures
For any form listed, students can print, complete, and submit the forms to OIE. Students are welcome to schedule an appointment with their OIE advisor to discuss their individual situation or to ensure they are maintaining their F-1 status. Most OIE forms require two (2) business days for processing.
Address Change Form
Students with F-1 status are required to notify OIE within 10 days of any change in their residence address so that the SEVIS database will be updated in a timely manner. To update your address in SEVIS complete the SEVIS Change of Address Form (pdf) form below. Remember to also update your address in the Marquette database by using CheckMarq.
Certification Letter
For current students that need a proof of enrollment, please complete the form linked below and submit it to OIE.
Dependents (F-2 status) are the spouse and/or children under age 21 of F-1 students in valid status.
Students who wish to have their spouse and/or children join them in the United States will need to submit the form below. The official cost-of-living estimate for a spouse is $11,700 per year and the estimate for a child is $6,000 per year (with spouse present). Once all of the information is received, the Marquette DSO will issue an I-20 Form for the dependent(s). In addition, health insurance is strongly encouraged for dependents.
Extension of Stay
Students who will not complete their program in the time designated on their Form I-20 can seek an extension from a Marquette DSO. Extensions are generally granted during the semester that ends on the student's current I-20 completion date. A student is eligible for an extension if s/he has (1) continuously maintained F-1 status and (2) the delays are caused by compelling academic or medical reasons, such as change of major or research topic, unexpected research problems or documented illness. Delays caused by academic probation or suspension are not acceptable reasons for program extensions. To apply for an extension, your OIE advisor will need to receive the following:
- Proof of financial support to cover tuition and living expenses during the period of the extension. For example, this may be a signed letter from your financial sponsor, personal bank account information, assistantship award letter, etc.
- Completed Extension of Stay Form (linked below) completed by your academic advisor
- Valid passport
- Proof of financial support for any dependents
Please schedule an appointment with your OIE advisor to complete the extension at least two (2) weeks BEFORE your current completion date (as listed on your Form I-20). Bring the items listed above to your appointment. If appropriate, the DSO will issue you a new I-20 Form with the new completion date.
I-94 Verification
As of April 30, 2013, the U.S. Customs and Broder Protection automated the I-94 process for visitors entering the U.S. by air. The CBP officer will stamp your passport when you enter the U.S., but you will not receive a Form I-94 (the small white card). Please make sure that the CBP stamp in your passport is legible with your entry date and visa type.
You can verify your I-94 number and print your entry details at the CBP website: www.cbp.gov/i94. This information may be necessary for future on-campus employment, OPT applications, applying for a driver's license, etc.
Invitation Letter
Students wishing to invite family and friends to visit them in the United States should complete the form linked below and submit it to OIE.
Leave of Absence
Students who must withdraw completely from the university should request written approval from a DSO before withdrawing. In very unusual situations, a student may have to withdraw from the university before the end of the term. If the student receives written approval from the DSO before withdrawing, the student will have 15 days of legal status to depart from the United States. But if the student withdraws without the DSO's written approval, the student will lose F-1 status as soon as he or she withdraws.
Students who request a leave of absence should also meet with their academic advisor to learn the process for their College or Department.
Online and Distance Learning Courses
If an F-1 visa student wants to take a class that is 100% online or distance learning, no more than the equivalent of one class or three credits can count toward the requirement for full-time enrollment. Online or distance learning courses do not require physical attendance for classes, examinations or other purposes integral to completion of the class. For example, an undergraduate student registered for 12 credits can only take one course or 3 credits as a distance learning course. A graduate student who is registered for 7 credits can take only one course or 3 credits as a distance learning course.
Reduced Course Load
Students who may need to be enrolled for less than the minimum credit hours (12 credits for undergraduates, 7 credits or equivalent for graduates) must first contact a DSO at OIE to learn whether or not an exception is legally possible in their situation. These exceptions are:
- Medical conditions
- Academic difficulties due to improper course level placement, initial difficulties with English language, or unfamiliarity with teaching methods
- Completion of studies at the end of the semester
F-1 students must have approval in advance and in writing from a DSO before they become a part-time student. To request a reduced course load, please complete the form below and bring it, along with any required documentation to OIE. Students requesting a reduced course load should meet with their OIE advisor to discuss their situation. Students in their last semester of study are not required to meet with their OIE advisor.
Students who become part-time without receiving prior approval will lose their F-1 status.
A student who violates (or loses) their F-1 status can apply to USCIS for reinstatement to F-1 status. Students who have violated F-1 status should meet with an OIE advisor as soon as possible after the violation occurs to discuss their individual situation so they can decide the best course of action.
Shorten Program
If you will complete all program requirements before the end date listed on your I-20 Form, use the form below to request a revision.
Transfer to Another U.S. University
Students wishing to study at another US university or college – either before or after completing their program of study at Marquette – will need to transfer their SEVIS record to the college/university where they have received admission and wish to enroll. Students can complete the form linked below and bring it to OIE. They are also welcome to meet with an OIE advisor to discuss their individual situation.
Transcript Request
Students, alumni and former students needing an official Marquette transcript (or proof of program completion) should visit the Marquette Central website. The Office of International Education does not issue transcripts or proof of program completion.
Travel Outside the U.S.
F-1 students who will be returning to the United States after a brief absence to continue their studies or authorized OPT should obtain an endorsement (signature) from a Marquette DSO on page 2 of their Form I-20 prior to departing the U.S. The DSO signature indicates that the student continues to be in legal F-1 status as a Marquette student and can return to resume their studies. A travel signature on your I-20 is valid for one year, if you have otherwise maintained F-1 status.
To obtain a DSO's signature, students should complete the form linked below and return it to OIE with their current Form I-20 and passport one to two weeks before they plan to leave the U.S. An appointment is not needed.
Dependents of F-1 visa holders can travel with the F-1 visa holder or separately and should obtain an endorsement (signature) from a Marquette DSO on page 2 of their Form I-20 prior to departing the U.S. The DSO signature indicates that the principal F-1 student continues to be in legal F-1 status as a Marquette student. An appointment is not needed.
Students needing a visa to visit or transit through another country should research the requirements of that country in advance of their travel and make all necessary arrangements to meet the requirements of that country's government.
Visa Renewal
Students with an expired F-1 visa will need to apply for a new F-1 visa at a US Embassy or Consulate prior to their re-entry to the U.S. (Visas cannot be issued or renewed in the U.S.) The visa application process can differ from country to country so it is important to research the process at the embassy or consulate where you will apply. Visit the State Department website for more information.
Remember that a valid F-1 visa is required upon entry to the United States. However, the visa can expire while you are in the U.S. as long as you have a valid Form I-20 and are maintaining F-1 status.
Travel to Canada, Mexico, or Adjacent Islands Without a Valid F-1 Visa
Most students with an expired F-1 visa can re-enter the U.S. when returning from a visit of less than thirty days to Canada, Mexico, or one of the islands adjacent to the United States (other than Cuba). They must possess a valid Form I-20 with DSO endorsement on Page 2. This process is known as automatic visa revalidation.
Students who meet any one of following criteria, will not be able to automatically revalidate their visa.
- Applied for a new visa (in Canada, Mexico or islands) and it has not been issued
- Applied for a new visa (in Canada, Mexico or islands) and were denied
- Have a terminated SEVIS record indicating that you are out of status
- Have been out of the United States for more than thirty days
- Is a citizen of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria

Matt Scott drew pre-draft buzz among draftniks as a potential mid-round pick with his athleticism to spare, 27-to-14 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a 60.3 completion rate in Rich Rodriguez's spread-option offense at Arizona. Scott ended up going undrafted presumably because teams viewed him as a purely developmental talent.
Why play fantasy football anywhere else? Play the official free fantasy football game of the NFL. Sign up today in under two minutes.
That didn't stop NFL observers from speculating that Scott could give underwhelming Jacksonville Jaguars quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne a run for the starting job after the team signed him as an undrafted free agent. It didn't hurt that new Jaguars quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo was Scott's position coach at Arizona for four years.
But Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch was quick to dismiss the idea that Scott is NFL ready.
"Not today. Right now, Matt has been here for one rookie minicamp practice and has probably taken 10 plays," Fisch told Jaguars.com's John Oehser. "Matt Scott is being developed. There's no rush. We're not trying to push anything through. We're excited about his talent. That's kind of where we're at with him."
As desperate as Jaguars fans are for an alternative to Gabbert and Henne, they will have to wait for a glimpse at Scott's potential as a read-option specialist. Scott's first order of business is beating out Aaron Rodgers' brother, Jordan, for the third quarterback job.

ABC Fall 2014 Schedule: 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Moves Timeslot, 'Agent Carter' Set for Midseason
ABC has become the next in line to divulge their fall 2014 schedules in advance of the Upfront presentation this week, and while the list leaves off any major surprises, Marvel fans would do well to learn that new series 'Agent Carter' will indeed serve as a smaller series bridge between the first and second half of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' season 2.
Not only will 'Agent Carter' premiere as a midseason replacement, but 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' itself will shift timeslots to (9:00 P.M.) Tuesdays in its second season. Elsewhere, the list brought forth relatively few adjustments, keeping 'Modern Family' to Wednesdays and saving 'Once Upon A Time,' 'Resurrection' and the ever popular 'Scandal' for Sundays.
With 'Galavant,' 'Fresh off the Boat,' 'The Whispers' and 'American Crime' also on the bench for the moment, here's what ABC's fall schedule looks like:
8:00 P.M. 'Dancing with the Stars'
10:00 P.M. 'Castle'
8:00 P.M. 'Selfie'
8:30 P.M. 'Manhattan Love Story
9:00 P.M. 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D'
10:o0 P.M. 'Forever'
8:00 P.M. 'The Middle'
8:30 P.M. 'The Goldbergs
9:00 P.M. 'Modern Family'
9:30 P.M. 'Black-Ish'
10:00 P.M. 'Nashville'
8:00 P.M. 'Grey's Anatomy'
9:00 P.M. 'Scandal'
10:00 P.M. 'How to Get Away With Murder'
8:00 P.M. 'Last Man Standing'
8:30 P.M. 'Cristela'
9:00 P.M. 'Shark Tank'
8:00 P.M. Saturday Night Football
7:00 P.M. 'America's Funniest Home Videos'
8:00 P.M. 'Once Upon A Time
9:00 P.M. 'Resurrection
10:00 P.M. 'Scandal'
Don't expect an official trailer for 'Agent Carter' anytime in the near future, as the Marvel drama was taken to series without ever filming a pilot (though we suppose the One-Shot already more or less gave us an idea), but what do you think? Barring the official trailers for ABC's other offerings later on today, how does the revamped lineup for 2014 grab you?

text: Make the Move to Accrual Farm Accounting January 17, 2011 01:40 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jeanne Bernick Top Producer Editor Email Farmers who want to be in business in the next 10 years must start using accrual farm accounting to have an accurate view of their profitability and other pertinent financial ratios, says Dick Wittman, farm financial consultant based in Culdesac, Idaho, who spoke this week at The Executive Program for Agricultural Producers (TEPAP) in Austin, Texas. Accrual statements provide a more accurate measure of a borrower's historic or projected profitability, Wittman says. On a cash basis, revenue and expenses are composed of the cash actually received or paid irrespective of when the goods are produced or expenses incurred. On an accrual basis, however, revenue represents the value of items produced during a given period and expenses represent the costs incurred by the business. Timing of the cash sales or cash expenses will not directly affect an accrual income statement. "Most farm bankers are already taking your cash basis income tax returns or financial statements and converting them to an accrual basis," Wittman says. "If you have been with the same banker for many years, the banker will generally have these statements for each year and they will readily give this information to you. This could save you many hours of research and give you a good start on setting up your accrual statements." Back to news

From Winter's grimy grip, to summer's warm weather, Pep Boys has what you need to prepare your car for outdoor fun on the open road.
Months of exposure to the winter elements, road salt and other abrasive particles have probably stolen the luster from your car's finish. And, looking ahead to summer's heat, UV radiation, bugs, tree sap and pollutants, there's o better time than now to prepare your car's finish for the days ahead.
The key to giving your vehicle the Pep Boys' star treatment is choosing the right car care precuts and material, ad knowing how to use them. The process begins with a thorough cleaning using a quality car wash. Dishwashing soaps are too strong for automotive finishes and can remove wax and cause staining.
To keep your finish in top condition, paint cleaners, (also called pre-cleaners or pre-wax cleaners) are available in varying degrees of abrasiveness depending on your need. Always work first with a light abrasive cleaner, then go to a stronger abrasive if needed to restore the topcoat.
Waxing your car is perhaps the most important step in improving your car's appearance and protecting the paint. There are several varieties of wax, from all natural to synthetic formulas which employ silicone resins for easy application and durability. For those cars with already acceptable or average finishes, need only a quality wax application for protection and ultra-shine.
Brake dust and grime can be easily removed from the tires and wheels with any of the wide variety of wheel and tire cleaners available at Pep Boys. To give them a 'satin shine' just wipe down with a terry cloth after you have applied the product.
But, don't forget about the interior! Vacuum first and then use a quality carpet and upholstery cleaner to make your interior look better and last longer.
You can find all of the top-name care products you need to breathe new life into your car, and maintain those good looks year-round at your local Pep Boys.

Burkemper's Brew
Stu Burkemper makes suds at the O'Fallon (Mo.) Brewery. It uses local ingredients and sells to area restaurants and stores.
Stu Burkemper started brewing in college. He wanted to save a little money and make a quality product. His interest grew, and after a summer internship with O'Fallon Brewery and training with the Siebel Institute of Technology and World Brewing Academy, Burkemper, BS Ag '07, of Moscow Mills, Mo., landed a dream job.
"It's good to wake up and not be grumpy about going to work," Burkemper says. "When you can produce something, there is a real satisfaction." He started as a delivery driver for O'Fallon Brewery, but after a year he got what he was waiting for: the chance to become a brewer.
But it's not all fun and games. "People don't realize how much cleaning we do," Burkemper says. "Ninety percent of the week is cleaning and sanitizing." O'Fallon is a fairly traditional brewery. "We stir by hand, scrape out mash by hand," Burkemper says. "We are using some modern technology, but we're not far from techniques that have been used for hundreds of years."

I can't speak to how viable the use of windows as a head node is, but I do know that LANL had a paper in the last couple of Linux Journals about building just such a beast, housed in a plastic toolbox. They had one of their prototypes on display at SC2005. They use a thinkpad as the head node on their systems. You might want to check with them for more engineering details. Andy

Got this for $29 August 2011.
I think this is what i had from before but it died and so its in the same spot, but its very much alive now.
Definatly seems to to growing, and by the size of the new leaves id say that it was established as the first leaves were actually quite small. Also, it appears to have a new choot coming from the base. Ive yet to clear the summer weeds but I think that there is a new shoot coming out?
The leaves are shorter than the original ones but I think it must be focussing on developing its roots, I think ive seen this before after just planting a plant, they seem to die off on the surface and often start again with a new stem, or focussing on the roots, but it definalty looks like it has set out a good few new leaves since July. Im hopeful that it will start to rocket next year.
Still alive. Seems to be putting out new leaves but nothing amazing. Probably still finding its roots. Not even been in the ground for a year.
Looking good, already has a new leaf sprouting out.
I really like this stuff

300m long wire rotatable
This Beverage antenna is a straight wire about 1000 feet long and about 8 feet high. It is a VERY directional antenna with low noise that will enable you to hear extremely weak DX signals that are buried in noise or covered up by other interference. The gain is only around 6dBi, but the directivity is better than a Yagi and it has a lot less noise than Yagis.
Because of the Beverage antenna design, you can expect lower Transmission efficiency. The Beverage antenna is more of a really good RX antenna.
This Beverage is made for 60m, but can be use on 80, 60, 48 and 40m.

Seahawks free agent linebacker Leroy Hill won't face felony domestic violence charges, after the King County Prosecutors Office deemed the case against him insufficient to pursue, according to Danny O'Neil of 710 ESPN Seattle.
Hill's not out of the woods yet, as misdemeanor charges are still a possibility with the local prosecutor.
He was arrested in January, and also in 2010 on domestic violence charges, though those were thrown out when he enrolled in a treatment program.
The 30-year-old linebacker also has multiple marijuana arrests.
There's been no indication the Seahawks want him back, and even though the recent charges aren't going anywhere, it's likely enough to scare away potential employers.

Koivu breaks tie in Wild win against Senatorsby Sean Farrell
OTTAWA -- It was all about bouncing back for the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday.
Minnesota came back twice to tie its game against the Ottawa Senators, after falling behind 1-0 and 2-1, and rebounded again after blowing a 3-2 lead in the third period when Mikko Koivu scored with 2:57 remaining to give the Wild a 4-3 win.
Koivu rushed down the right side and cut inside to beat goalie Craig Anderson with a shot into the top left corner for his fifth goal of the season.
"The first thought was to get a quick shot, and then usually when you cut to the middle like that, usually the far side is open, if you've got any room," Koivu said.
Dany Heatley and Jonas Brodin each had a goal and an assist in the second period for Minnesota, and Josh Harding made 34 saves.
The Wild lost 6-2 to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday to end a four-game winning streak.
"It was a huge answer from our club," said Harding, who was pulled in the second period Tuesday after allowing three straight goals to Max Pacioretty. "We know that [Tuesday] wasn't our best day, but it was a huge win today. A couple of big goals by a couple of key players, and it was a fun building to play in, actually."
Minnesota (14-5-4) has at least a point in 13 of its past 15 games (11-2-2). Koivu and Zach Parise had two assists each.
Milan Michalek drew Ottawa even at 3-3 with a power-play goal at 8:57 of the third. Michalek put away a rebound of Mika Zibanejad's shot from the left point for his fourth goal.
Kyle Turris and Zibanejad scored in the first period for the Senators (8-10-4), who have lost three in a row, including 5-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
"It's very disappointing," Turris said. "It's frustrating, especially since we came out with probably our best first period of the year. We played a pretty solid game, but again, there were one or two mistakes that we let happen that they capitalized on."
Anderson stopped 21 shots in his fourth start in five games for Ottawa since he was sidelined because of a sore neck.
Ottawa's Clarke MacArthur made a highlight-reel play to set up a shorthanded goal by Turris that gave the Senators a 1-0 lead 5:54 into the game.
"That's not just highlight of the night, and should be in the mix for highlight of the year," Turris said. "It was one of the best plays I've ever seen."
MacArthur dropped the puck back on a rush down the right side and put his stick between his legs to feed a pass behind Wild defenseman Ryan Suter to Turris, who beat Harding with a shot from the slot.
"That's stuff you do after practice or messin' around, and you do it in the summer leagues, and stuff like that," MacArthur said. "I wasn't going up the ice saying, 'I'm going to go through my legs here to [Turris].' It was just quick instinct where I didn't have any other option to be able to get it back, and it ended up working out where he drove the net and got the shot off.
"As good of a pass it was, it was a great play by him just to get there and get the shot off too."
Jason Pominville was unable to handle Parise's saucer pass back to the blue line early in Minnesota's first power play of the game, which caused the turnover that led to MacArthur's rush.
"I played it as a 2-on-2; I should have probably played it as a 2-on-1," Suter said. "It is what it was. It was a good play and you've got to give him credit for it."
The Wild recovered to tie it 59 seconds later when Parise set up Pominville's 13th goal at 6:53.
"It was important," Suter said. "We knew that we [messed] up on the power play. We knew that we had to get back on the horse, and we were able to capitalize."
Zibanejad restored Ottawa's one-goal lead at 2-1 with his fifth goal at 11:11.
Brodin scored his fourth goal 3:00 into the second period. The 20-year-old defenseman took a pass back to the right point from Heatley and beat Anderson with a long wrist shot to tie it 2-2.
Heatley, a two-time 50-goal scorer with the Senators, gave the Wild their first lead at 6:15. He fanned on his initial attempt to recover a puck behind the Ottawa net but made a second attempt and reached past Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson, who waved his stick at the puck as Heatley put a soft shot between Anderson's pads.
Minnesota plays the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday after splitting the first two games of its four-game road trip. Ottawa begins a three-game trip Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings.

Prime Pheasant Hunting Again in SD
Annual August pheasant brood counts in South Dakota indicate that the statewide pheasant population is up from last year, and that should equate to an excellent pheasant season that starts next Saturday.
Results of the survey show that pheasant numbers grew in many areas of the state, due in large part to a mild winter and ideal weather during the nesting and brood-rearing season.
"The mild winter of 2011-12 was the boost we needed for pheasant survival and reproductive potential," explained Jeff Vonk, secretary of the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks. "It goes to show that, with the combination of good habitat and the right weather conditions, pheasants can be quite prolific.
Wildlife Terrestrial Chief Tom Kirschenmann said weather conditions
the previous two years impacted numbers, "when you have two hard winters like we had for a few years, it does take a toll. If the winters don't kill them the condition of the birds when spring arrives is awfully poor. The hens in particular are not that productive after tough winters.
A reduction in Conservation Reserve acreages cut into habitat. It can be a farm management decision based on current commodity prices and the opportunity to farm that land again or those acres simply didn't qualify at re-enrollment.
August brood counts show increased populations in several East
River locations including the Huron, Mitchell, Aberdeen, Brookings and Sioux Falls areas, "a much more mild and open winter last year led to the conditions to be more productive," Kirschenmann said.
He added some traditional hot spots stayed about the same. Pierre, Chamberlain, down to Winner. That still means there will be phenomenal pheasant hunting.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard said the pheasant survey is good news for the state.
"Pheasant hunting is important to the economic well-being of South Dakota, and it also helps support the strong outdoor heritage of our state," the Governor said.
Kirschenmann says hunters need to keep track of where steel shot is required, and be careful not to ignite fires.
