HONOLULU, Hawaii - A 3-year-old Hawaii girl who suffered a heart attack during a dentist visit likely died because of the drugs given to sedate her, according to a medical examiner's autopsy report.
Finley Puleo Boyle, of Kailua, probably died because of the sedatives and local anesthesia that were administered during her December dental procedure, Honolulu Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Christopher Happy concluded in his autopsy report. He classified the death as an accident.
The girl lapsed into a coma Dec. 3 in the office of Dr. Lilly Geyer at Island Dentistry for Children. She died Jan 3. The office has since closed.
The autopsy report said the previously healthy girl had no signs of underlying heart problems or an allergic reaction to the array of sedatives and anesthetic she received in preparation for cavity fillings and root canals, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser (http://ow.ly/uPJl4 ) reported Friday.
The medical examiner noted her teeth were in good shape: "the oral cavity has native dentition in good repair."
Finley received five drugs, according to the report, including Demerol, hydroxyzine and chlorohydrate. She was also given laughing gas and an injection of a local anesthetic, lidocaine with epinephrine.
"Immediately following the lidocaine injection, the decedent became unresponsive and went into cardiopulmonary arrest," Happy said in his report.
Parents Ashley and Evan Boyle filed a negligence lawsuit while their only child was in a coma. Their attorney, Rick Fried, would not comment on the autopsy report.
Geyer's attorney, John Nishimoto, has called the allegations "unproven" but declined to comment further because of the lawsuit. He didn't respond to the newspaper's requests for comment on the autopsy report Thursday.
Geyer was issued a license to practice dentistry in the state in July 2005, the Star-Advertiser has previously reported. As of last December, there were no records of complaints against her or her practice on file with the Hawaii Department Of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, according to the newspaper.
In January, new state rules took effect tightening oversight of dental sedation in Hawaii.

Happy New Year! I encourage you to take out your calendar and set a few goals for the year to experience Savannah to the fullest. Here are some ideas that will help you navigate through all of the fun we're going to have in 2013:
10. Get back to nature. When was the last time you visited Oatland Island Wildlife Center? The serene trails are a great place to kickstart your 2013 fitness routine with a brisk walk, and you can enjoy learning about reptiles, wolves and armadillos while you're there! It's a fantastic place for the entire family to experience. oatlandisland.org, 912-395-1212
9. Embrace the Savannah College of Art and Design's community events. SCAD offers the opportunity for you to experience photography shows, lectures, concerts and festivals throughout the entire year. One of my favorites, the annual Silver & Ink Photography show, usually takes place in late April/early May. Silver & Ink is SCAD's premier juried photography exhibition, showcasing the best student work. Other noteworthy events: Sidewalk Chalk Arts Festival, Tybee Island Sand Arts Festival and Movies in Forsyth Park! Most of their events are free and open to the public. scad.edu/experience/events
8. Support live music in Savannah! As Bill Dawers, Shawndra Russell and others tell us here each week, there is no lack of talented acts coming to Savannah or already based here. With Savannah Stopover, the Savannah Music Festival, the Savannah Jazz Festival and the Folk Music Festival, there's enough variety to suit any taste. Like to keep it local? Check out the Savannah Songwriters Series or the live music each week at B. Matthew's Eatery. And keep an eye out for concert announcements from the Civic Center and Savannah box offices, too - you never know who will pop into town!
7. Get to know the neighbors. Make plans to check out one of the home or garden tours taking place in Savannah. The Annual Tour of Homes & Gardens, N.O.G.S Tour, Tybee Island Tour of Homes, St. Vincent's Tour of Homes and Tea, Ardsley Park Tour of Homes and DNA Holiday Tour of Homes offer exclusive peeks inside of real Savannah history.
6. Bike Savannah! You truly never forget how to ride a bike. Together with the city of Savannah and Healthy Savannah, the Savannah Bicycle Campaign will host four Ciclovia-style Play Streets events as a result of a recently awarded grant from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The Savannah Bicycle Campaign hosts several "Wheelies" throughout the year that are open to all ages and levels - Wheelies are non-competitive group bicycle rides in different parts of Savannah. Watch for more details on Ciclovia and Wheelie events at bicyclecampaign.org.
5. Learn something new. You don't have to be a history buff to appreciate Savannah's heritage. The Massie School takes you back in time in the Heritage Classroom, where you become an architect, investigate Native American artifacts and explore Oglethorpe's city plan. Georgia Historical Society and Historic Savannah Foundation offer plenty of programs, lectures and workshops throughout the year, and museum houses such as The Davenport House Museum offer indepth special tours on topics such as Savannah's Madeira tradition. Architectural Tours of Savannah with Jonathan Stalcup takes you through 300 years of Savannah's fascinating architectural history.
4. Enjoy a picnic in the park. Throw together your friends and family, grab your chairs, blankets, some sandwiches and a cooler and enjoy Savannah's beautiful weather! Skidaway Island State Park is a great place to spend an afternoon with shaded picnic shelters, scenic marsh view trails and plenty of play space for the kiddos.
3. Run a race! It seems like there's a 5k or 10k or something-k almost every weekend in Savannah or on Tybee Island. Whether you're a walker or a marathon-miler, there's a race for you. Coming up is the Critz Tybee Run Fest, Seacrest Race for Preservation, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Shamrock Run, Rock 'n' Roll Savannah Marathon and ½ Marathon, Enmark Savannah River Bridge Run, Rape Crisis Center's Reindeer Run - and so many more! Not sure how to start? Hook up with the folks at Fleet Feet Savannah They have training groups for all skill levels! (And if you're hardcore, Savannah's first ULTRA Marathon is taking place at Fort Pulaski and McQueen's Island Rails to Trails on Jan. 12.) fleetfeetsavannah.com
2. Don your green and take part in the St. Patrick's Day festivities. If you somehow haven't noticed, Savannah is known for hosting the second largest parade in the world. The religious and cultural celebration begins a couple of weeks prior to the parade. Some of these traditional events include the Investiture of the Grand Marshal, Greening of the Fountain in Forsyth Park, Tara Feis, Celtic Cross Mass and Ceremony and Sergeant William Jasper Green Ceremony. On the morning of the parade, Mass is held at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. savannahnow.com/stpatricksday
1. Be a tourist in your own town. Book a night at one of our inns or B&Bs. Visit the Mercer House, eat lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room, indulge in a praline at River Street Sweets, have your photo taken in front of the Forsyth Park fountain, drink a "Call a Cab" at Wet Willies, go see The Lady Chablis and take a tour of Bonaventure Cemetery. We live in a place where thousands of people come to vacation each year. Devote 24 hours to rediscovering our beautiful and historic city.

A table (also known as grid or spreadsheet) is a graphical control to present data in an ordered arrangement of rows and columns. The intersection of a row and a column is a cell. The elements of a table may be grouped, segmented, or arranged in many different ways, and even nested recursively. It provides a familiar way to convey information that might otherwise not be obvious or readily understood.
Tables provide inline editing with the advance of a concise layout since no additional control is needed for input. The approach is usually less error-prone because a list with direct input has no dependency to other controls (in contrast to the combination of a list with an edit which needs to be enabled or disabled appropriate to the list entry the user clicks). The drawback is reduced discoverability for lists with restricted editing function, at least when only a few cells can be changed. User does not know which cell is editable and which is not.

What should you do if you come to the dojo and find your Sensei sweeping the floor?
Of course, you should immediately ask to take the broom from your Sensei. You should sweep the dojo.
If your Sensei refuses, you might ask again. If he is firm and will not give up the broom, you should go get another broom and help him. There may be many things to do. You could wipe the mirrors or windows. You could set up chairs or fans. You could get the dust pan. In every dojo, there are many things to do.
This applies to each and every student in the dojo. If the Sensei is sweeping, everyone should be sweeping and cleaning. No one should be idle.
A student should never stand by and watch his Sensei (or seniors) sweeping the dojo.
Don't just stand there. Help your Sensei!
For myself, if I am sweeping the dojo, I will usually refuse when a student asks to take the broom. But I will respect the student for asking.
What should a child do if he sees his mother sweeping the floor at home? Of course, the answer is the same. You should not show more respect to your Sensei than you do your parents. You should not help in the dojo but be lazy at home.
Karate students should be very considerate and helpful at all times.

Miami FC Blues, and their new head coach in Brazilian World Cup winner Zinho, host Charleston Battery at Tropical Park Stadium to raise the curtain on the new campaign. Later on Saturday, Canada's two USL-1 clubs meet in Vancouver, as the new-look Whitecaps host rivals Montreal Impact. In the first part of our preview to the 2008 USL-1 season, we look at three of the clubs that begin their regular-season campaigns with the Whitecaps on Saturday. CHARLESTON BATTERY With only one playoff appearance in the last four seasons, Charleston Battery will hope several new faces can improve their prospects of post-season action in the autumn. Mike Anhaeuser's side missed last season's playoffs by two points, as the South Carolina outfit had to settle for a tenth-place finish in the USL-1 standings after an 8-14-6 record. Their only consolation was reaching the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup quarter-finals before bowing out of the competition to Major League Soccer side FC Dallas. The off-season brought an overhaul of the Battery squad, with several new faces coming to Blackbaud Stadium. Forward Darren Spicer has arrived from Minnesota Thunder, while former Charleston defender John Wilson has returned after leaving MLS side DC United. There is also some Canadian flavour, as former Toronto FC defender Marco Reda joins Victoria, BC, native Jordie Hughes in Anhaeuser's squad, while former Cuban internationals Osvaldo Alonso and Lester More come to the club after defecting from their country's national team during the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Former New York Red Bulls striker Randi Patterson, meanwhile, could prove to be a handful for USL-1 defenders this season. Among those returning to Charleston this season are Lazo Alavanja, Chris Corcoran, Ian Fuller, and Stephen Armstrong. Goalkeeper Dusty Hudock, meanwhile, will be entering his 13th season in the USL-1 and ninth with the Battery. The club had a positive preseason, with the Battery having drawn and beaten MLS sides New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC respectively as hosts of the 2008 Carolina Challenge Cup tournament. MIAMI FC BLUES After an illustrious playing career that included winning the 1994 World Cup, former Brazilian international Zinho makes the move into coaching after taking charge of Miami FC Blues in October 2007. The 40-year-old – full name Crizam Cezar de Oliveira Filho – was unable to lead the south Florida club to the playoffs in his last season as a player in 2007, as Miami FC missed the postseason by a single point after recording a 9-15-4 record. The first-year coach will have a mix of new and returning players for 2008, with Zinho recruiting talent from South America during the off-season. American-born Venezuelan striker Juan Pablo Galavis has joined a pair of Brazilian playmakers in Cauê Santos Da Mata and Leandro Bispo de Souza at Tropical Park Stadium, while striker Alex Afonso was a top-five leading goalscorer in Brazil's Sao Paulo state championship or Campeonato Paulista. Jamaican forward Sean Barrett and New Jersey native Jarryd Goldberg have also joined Zinho's squad, as has former Puerto Rico Islanders goalkeeper Josh Saunders, who signed for Miami FC a day before their season-opener against Charleston. The Blues also have a solid core of returning players in Sean Cameron, Sean Fraser, Stephane Guillaume, John Pulido, Walter Ramirez, JP Rodrigues, and Eric Vasquez. With Zinho now to patrol the sidelines as a coach, the challenge for the former attacking midfielder will be to transfer his playing success to his new role. MONTREAL IMPACT With an extensive preseason campaign under their belts and the new Saputo Stadium built and ready for action, Montreal Impact are sure to expect big things from the upcoming campaign. Nick De Santis' side will be looking to complete some unfinished business after abrupt exits in the playoffs the last two seasons. After finishing third in the USL-1 standings with a record of 14-6-8, Montreal were stunned in playoff quarter-finals by Puerto Rico Islanders last September. Montreal boast one of the most settled sides in USL-1 for 2008, with 17 of the 24 players in De Santis' squad all returning from last year. With the second lowest number of goals conceded in 2007, the Impact's defensive backline has been hit by the retirements of Jason DiTullio and Mauricio Vincello. This will see the club rely on the likes of three-time USL-1 Defender of the Year Gabriel Gervais and Nevio Pizzolitto to patrol the defence, while Adam Braz has returned to the Impact after spending 2007 in MLS with Toronto FC. The Quebec club have also acquired Italian lower division journeyman Stefano Pesoli and Frenchman Cedric Joqueviel to boost their defensive ranks, while other new faces include Montreal native Cristian Nunez, who played last season for Toronto FC reserves, and Brazilian attacker Severino Jefferson. Striker Dwight Barnett and Bolivian midfielder Pato Aguilera have also arrived this preseason, with Aguilera having initially been on trial with Charleston Battery last month. Of course, the strength of the Impact is in those that have returned for 2008. Striker Charles Gbeke shared last season's USL-1 goalscoring title with Seattle Sounders hit-man Sebastien Le Toux, while midfielder Mauro Biello is entering his 15th season with Montreal, and 16th in USL-1. Argentine Leonardo Di Lorenzo was the club's second leading goalscorer last year, while the likes of Patrick Leduc, Matthew Palleschi, and Antonio Ribeiro have plenty of league experience. In the American duo of Matt Jordan and Andrew Weber, the Impact have two proven goalkeepers, while three members of the Whitecaps 2006 USL-1 championship side in Joey Gjertsen, Sita-Taty Matondo, and David Testo have returned for 2008. With their first six games on the road to start the season, Impact will have to wait until Victoria Day Monday, May 19, when Vancouver is the first-ever visitor to the brand-new Saputo Stadium. Montreal have also been tipped by some observers as favorites to win Canada's CONCACAF Champions League qualifying tournament versus the Whitecaps and Toronto FC in the summer. Previous Next

Embattled R&B star Lauryn Hill is making the most of her freedom before she has to report to jail by making last-minute plans to perform in New York this week.
The former Fugees frontwoman was handed a three-month sentence for tax evasion last Monday and has been ordered to turn herself in to authorities by July 8.
Hill, who recently unveiled her first new song in three years, Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix), online, has since decided to use her remaining days to showcase her new material and announced on Friday night that she would be hitting the stage in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
In a post on her Facebook page, she wrote, "Hi! Decided to do a last minute show next week in Brooklyn at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Wanted to play NS Live!"
Last month, Hill revealed that she had signed a new record deal to release the follow-up to her classic 1998 release, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Philips released the CD-i 740 in 1996, the most advanced CD-i player ever made
>> Sunday, February 10, 2008
When Philips decided to discontinue their CD-i business, they still released one of the best CD-i players in 1996. The Philips CD-i 740 player was the very last CD-i player to be released by Philips. Perhaps one of the more rare players of Philips, the CD-I 740 is the most advanced consumer CD-i player ever made. Featured an RS232-port alongside with two seperate ports for input devices. Had extensive controls for playing of CD-Audio at the front of the player. Build-in Incorporated Digital Video. Only available in a very limited edition. When they appear on eBay it is regularly sold for over 50 euros a piece. The player itself is 43.5 cm width in a design that fits other Philips audio/video products like the FR751/752, DCC600/730 ,CD751 player etc. In this version they put both controller ports at the front of the player (I never understood why other players had their second port at the back of the player!). Below you'll find a few pictures to remember it.
(pictures are very rare to find, I would like it a lot if you can help me to find more pictures!)

WESTFIELD, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth cross country teams both finished third in the Little East Conference and fifth in the New England Alliance Championships on conference championship Saturday, hosted by Westfield State at Stanley Park Saturday.
The men were led by sophomore Eric Karstunen (Pembroke, MA/Pembroke HS), who was 19th in the Alliance and 13th in the LEC in 26:59. Junior Zach Switaj (Tamworth, NH/Kennett Regional HS) was 19th and 31st in 27:21, junior Chris Jordan (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS) was 21st and 33rd in 27:31, sophomore Matt Ferro (Halifax, MA/Silver Lake HS) was 23rd and 36th in 27:39, sophomore Scott Bernazzani (Abington, MA/Cardinal Spellman HS) was 24th and 37th in 27:41, freshman Michael Vaz (Dartmouth, MA/Greater New Bedford Regional Vo Tech) was 26th and 40th in 27:45, freshman Mike Bodden (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury HS) was 30th and 48th in 28:00, freshman Ryan Hayes (Kingston, MA/Silver Lake HS) was 31st and 49th in 28:02, freshman Tene Paquin (Middleboro, MA/Middleboro HS) was 72nd overall in 28:59 and freshman Andrew Goncalves (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) was 90th overall in 30:02.
For the women, sophomore Katie Sheehan (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS) was third in the LEC and fifth overall in 18:55. Freshman Katisha Bellegarde (Methuen, MA/Methuen HS) was the Corsairs' next runner, finishing in 19:58, sophomore Renee Laurencelle (Tyngsboro, MA/Tyngsboro HS) finished in 20:27, sophomore Samantha Roderigues (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was next in 21:16, , sophomore Caitlin Dorr (Foxboro, MA/Foxboro HS) finished in 21:26, sophomore Jessica Connor (Worcester, MA/Doherty HS) was next in 21:39, and sophomore Meghan Cutler (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) also finished in the same time, 21:39.
"Both teams ran very well," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jon Hird. "The women tied with Bridgewater, and we hadn't beaten Bridgewater all year. For the women, Katie Sheehan ran a great race overall, and her time was a personal best, and almost the entire women's team ran personal best times. For the men, we only had 42 seconds between our top five finishers, and that was our best race all year."
The Corsairs will take next weekend off, then return to action when they go back to Stanley Park and Westfield State for the NCAA Division III Regional Championships in two weeks.

There are probably jobs that are more thankless than being the CEO of a health plan, but none come readily to mind. People like David M. Lawrence, MD — outgoing head of Kaiser Permanente, and the subject of our cover story/Q&A package — might as well walk around with targets pinned to their backs.
Of course, that goes with the territory, and at $2.2 million compensation in 2000, the last year the health plan disclosed Lawrence's salary, he was well compensated, if not at the level of some commercial plan executives.
As far as we're concerned, Lawrence changed Kaiser Permanente just enough. It's more bottom-line oriented than when he took over because a company in Kaiser's position needs to be responsive to competitive market forces to survive. On the other hand, as Uwe Reinhardt, Princeton professor and health care economist, points out, Lawrence kept Kaiser Permanente true to its group-model roots.
It was not an easy decade-long ride for Lawrence, what with expansion attempts that didn't pan out, financial losses over a three-year stretch, and a focus on information technology that rubbed some in the organization the wrong way.
Still, taking the easy course — electing to be a caretaker CEO during the turbulent rise of managed care — would have gained Kaiser little, and might very well have cost it everything. Perhaps Reinhardt overstates the matter when he says that the "real tragedy of managed care could be that there weren't enough Kaisers. That is why managed care never worked."
We believe it's too soon to speak of managed care in the past tense. However, we do agree with Reinhardt that, thanks to Lawrence, the future certainly looks rosy for Kaiser Permanente.

We're very excited to bring you this weekly feature – Science Friday, a science talk show produced by NPR. Each week, a new video takes on a different on science topic, in an effort to bring an educated, balanced discussion to bear on the scientific issues at hand.
You may remember that we started this feature more than a year ago – but technical difficulties kept us from making it a regular appearance. Thanks to the fine folks at SciFri, however- I think we've got it figured out. Hopefully, we'll be bringing you the science-y goodness every Friday from now on.
This week we follow two high school students from New York as they perform a DNA test on foods to see just what ingredients are in our everyday meals. They review if goat milk really comes from goats, the origin of caviar, and what exactly goes into New York City hot dogs.

Posada A Christmas spiritual journey
Moms, dads and "abuelitas" trickled into Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church on a recent evening — their children in tow — quietly waiting on pews to start a nightly journey through the near West Side.
Across the street, Guadalupe Plaza sat desolate. Occasional streetlights broke through the cold, dark skyline. A crescent moon beamed among the stars.
The children had spent the day at school. The parents had toiled at work. Their thoughts would later flash to ancient Rome and the legendary trek by Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. They would re-enact this trip with an outdoor procession called "Las Posadas."
Parishes with heavily Hispanic memberships often organize Posadas, sometimes on each of the nine days leading up to Christmas Day. The custom originated in the 1500s when Spanish missionaries used live, interactive dramas to pass on biblical stories to indigenous people in Central and South America.
The Holy Family's determined search for lodging was a key narrative, a long-awaited prophecy in the Christian faith, ushering in salvation from sin and hope for life's trials.
"The Spanish monks realized that you could not transmit Christianity without an original experience," said Father Virgilio Elizondo, regarded as the founder of U.S. Latino theology and a local priest. "There are no spectators. It's as if the veil of time and space is removed, and you're the original. At that moment, you're not just acting."
Parishioners are the cast. Mary and Joseph lead the way in costume, while pilgrims follow behind in plain clothes, reciting prayers and singing call-and-response songs. The script calls for visits to houses where residents emerge to deny Mary and Joseph lodging until finally arriving at a home willing to take them in.
At that moment, the somber journey then turns festive. The moment is for caroling, piñatas and traditional foods, such as pan dulce and tamales.
"The whole point of Christmas is that God became incarnate. He became tangible," said Father James Marshall, an associate pastor at Our Lady of Guadalupe. "We can see and hear him and experience him. We're bringing to the senses this mystery that we hold so dear in our faith."
Marshall prepped the procession before a recent outing. Mary and Joseph actors were picked randomly from the audience and handed costumes. A little girl handed out the posada program, a plain, black and white bulletin with traditional Spanish lyrics and prayers.
Marshall, a Jesuit priest wearing a Mexican baja hoodie, performed song melodies with his trademark trumpet and then led a cappella versions.
"You have to sing louder when we get outside," he said.
Soon, they had flashlights in hand and were standing in the central aisle. A few men put on reflective safety vests, and one wheeled a speaker box connected wirelessly to a microphone for the narrator to use.
Once outside, their Hail Marys and Our Fathers echoed against the modest homes lining neighborhoods. A shared Hispanic culture binds this tight-knit community, working to overcome historic poverty and counter such social ills as truancy, teen pregnancy and gang violence.
The procession made its way through the same streets where marchers each year advocate for immigrant and labor rights. Many in the procession found inspiration in the Holy Family's plight to endure their own modern hardships.
"This is a moment of happiness and joy. Joseph and Mary went through a long, hard trip in the cold," said Aide Arredondo who brought three grandchildren along and spoke in Spanish. "When I think of what they went through, it comforts me, especially in this time when we're seeing so many terrible things happen. We have to walk with strong steps, knowing God is with us."
The procession formed two groups, one made up of Mary and Joseph with followers who searched for shelter, and the other a group of innkeepers who rejected the couple's pleas for a room. The two groups sang their dialogue at a yellow house two blocks from the church and at an assisted-living complex another block away.
Finally, the procession arrived at Guadalupe Street Coffee. Hot chocolate warmed their bodies, while children munched on cookies. Father Marshall trumpeted classic Christmas carols sung in Spanish and English. Marissa Benavidez, a member of the posada planning committee, reveled in playing the role of Mary for the first time.
"I always had to choose a Mary from the crowd," she said. "It makes me happy to say I played her. I got to walk the miles she walked."
This Christmas Eve, the procession will start and end at Our Lady of Guadalupe parish.
A priest will open the doors to their spiritual home.
The group will walk to the front and gather around a classical Nativity scene.
A baby Jesus statue will rest in the manger atop a hay floor.
Statues of animals, Mary and Joseph will adore him.
So will the procession.

MOSCOW — In perhaps the most dominant performance to date at the 2013 IAAF World Championships, LaShawn Merritt crushed the field in the men's 400 meters to lead a four-medal night for a surging Team USA Tuesday at Luzhniki Stadium. Nick Symmonds, Jenn Suhr and Tony McQuay all contributed silver medals to bring Team USA's medal total to 10 (4 gold, 5 silver, 1 bronze).
The World Championships boast nearly 50 hours of television coverage in the U.S. with broadcasts airing during all nine days of competition. View the complete broadcast schedule here.
Magnificent Merritt
Running in lane 6, Merritt (Norfolk, Va.) went out briskly with Olympic champion Kirani James of Grenada just inside him in lane 5 and American McQuay (Gainesville, Fla.) in lane 4. James followed Merritt's fast start, with McQuay in tow. James looked to close the gap on Merritt slightly at the 200m mark, but faded on the turn as the strength of Merritt took over. The 2008 Olympic gold medalist and 2009 world champion charged down the homestretch, winning in 43.74 seconds - a personal best and .01 faster than his previous best of 43.75 from his gold-medal run in Beijing. McQuay was second in a personal-best 44.40, and Luguelin Santos of the Dominican Republic was third in was 44.52. James faded to seventh in 44.99. It marked a strong comeback for Team USA, going 1-2 in Moscow just one year after having no finalists at the Olympic Games.
Symmonds (Springfield, Ore.) gave the U.S. men their best-ever finish in the men's 800m, running an aggressive and gutsy race to take the silver and give the U.S. their first 800 medal since 1997. Compatriot Duane Solomon (Los Angeles, Calif.) led the pack through the first lap at 50.28, with Symmonds on his shoulder - an atypical position for the historically late-charging Oregonian. As Solomon faded in the homestretch, Symmonds surged and was in the lead coming home. He was overtaken in the final meters by Mohammed Aman of Ethiopia, with Aman finishing in 1:43.31 to Symmonds' season-best time of 1:43.55. Ayanleh Souleiman of Djibouti was third in 1:43.75, with Solomon sixth in 1:44.42.
Women's vault battle
A loud and unabashedly partisan crowd made the women's pole vault the featured event of the night, pitting world record holder Elena Isinbayeva of Russia against the Olympic gold medalist, Jenn Suhr, and Olympic silver medalist, Yarisley Silva of Cuba.
Suhr (Churchill, N.Y.) cleared her opening height of 4.55m/14-11 on her first try, and then scaled 4.75m/15-7 on the first attempt to take sole possession of first place. When Isinbayeva cleared 4.82m/15-9.75 on her second attempt, Suhr had to do the same to retake the lead while Silva cleared on her last attempt. At 4.89m/16-0.5, Isinbaeva cleared her first attempt and Suhr and Silva failed to clear, claiming silver and bronze, respectively.
In the women's heptathlon, Sharon Day (Manhattan, Kan.) clipped more than two seconds off her personal best in the 800m with a 2:08.94 that pushed her up to sixth overall with 6407 points, her best finish in three trips to the World Championships. Erica Bougard (Byhalia, Miss.) ran 2:13.72 and ended 24th with 5829, and Bettie Wade (Grand Rapids, Mich.) was 27th with 5768 points after running the 800m in 2:20.87. Ganna Melnichenko of the Ukraine captured gold with 6584 points while Brianne Theisen Eaton of Canada claimed silver with a score of 6530
Americans roll into finals
All eyes were on the women's 1500m semifinals, which saw teenager Mary Cain (Bronxville, N.Y.) become the youngest finalist ever in the event, placing fourth in the first semi in 4:05.21 to automatically advance to Thursday's final. Reigning world champion Jenny Simpson (Boulder, Colo.), was third at 4:05.79 in semifinal two to also advance. Sarah Brown (Knoxville, Tenn.), finished 10th in that heat at 4:12.16 and did not advance.
Reigning world champion Lashinda Demus (Los Angeles, Calif.) and U.S. champion Dalilah Muhammad (Bayside, N.Y.) both finished second in their semifinals of the 400m hurdles to advance automatically to the final on Thursday. Muhammad clocked 54.08 in the first semifinal, while Demus finished at 54.22 in the second semi. Christine Spence was eighth in the first section at 58.35 and did not advance.
In the men's 400m hurdle semifinals, Olympic silver medalist Michael Tinsley (Round Rock, Texas) won his semifinal in 48.31 to automatically advance to Thursday's final. Kerron Clement (Gainesville, Fla.), the 2007 and 2009 world champion, moved on to the final after finishing third in the third heat, claiming one of the time qualifier spots with his 48.21. Bershawn Jackson (Raleigh, N.C.) fell at hurdle two in the first semifinal; just after clearing the barrier he appeared to injure himself. Jackson fought an injury after tweaking his right hamstring in practice earlier this week.
Team USA still dominates the team scoring with 127 points, 57 ahead of second place Russia.

Athlete Quotes
Jennifer Suhr, pole vault final
"They got their money's worth. It was one of the best pole vault competitions ever put on, 82 took third, 75 took fourth. That's just great performances all around. And not to mention the crowd, the cheering and how into it they were. I have to look at it as a success. I'm happy with the silver. I look at the whole year - Olympic gold, world record indoors, silver at worlds and I'm quite happy with that.
Nick Symmonds, 800m final
"I'm disappointed for Duane, first off. My hat goes off to him, and I don't know if I could have been a silver medalist in that race if it were not for him...With 100 to go, I flipped that switch like I did in Edmonton, like I did in London, and at 750 I was pretty sure I was going to be the next world champion, but you know Aman is tough, he finds a way to get to that line, and he did that tonight, and that is why he is your world champion. I really raced for gold tonight. I wasn't content to sit in the back and hang on for dear life for bronze or silver. I raced for gold, and there is no shame in finishing second."
Duane Solomon, 800m final
"I felt like I went out too quickly, and I think it was my competitors' plan to kind of take me out quick and then hopefully take away my energy for the kick home, and that is exactly what happened. You know going out 22, 23, whatever it was, I don't think anybody could really come home hard off of that. It is really tough. I just tried to hold on as long as I could, and I knew that after I ran that, it was trouble. I'm kind of glad that it went the way it did for Nick, and I'm very proud of him. He ran very aggressive..Either way, if I didn't win a medal, it was one for the U.S., so we can look at it in a positive way like that."
LaShawn Merritt, 400m final
"I've always been around, I've always worked hard, even last season I had an undefeated year up until the Olympic Games. Just unfortunately I got hurt, I was ready to go last year. So I went and broke my body down to train hard and have a great season this year. I said in the semifinal that this wasn't a two-man race. Eight men were going to line up who were hungry to represent their country and their sponsor, and I was starving. Not only was I starving for a great performance, I was also starving like I didn't eat a lot today, so I was really starving. I wanted to go out and put a great race together, I was ready mentally and physically to put a 43 together, and that's what I did and that's what I took. Life is full of ups and downs. I'm the type of guy who would say, things happen. You always have to move forward. I never stopped training, I never stopped being confident, I always kept God first, and I always let my hard work be my confidence. I had a brother who was older than me who passed before it was his time to go, so I said, hey, life is full of ups and downs and you have to continue to move forward. Just being here and being able to train and be confident. If I step out and the lights feel like home, it was just time to get work done."
Tony McQuay, 400m final
"I'm very excited. This is a big stage, this is my first individual medal. Especially at a World championships. It is very exciting. I came out and executed my race. I stayed humble. I stayed hungry. I listened to my coach before my race, and I executed just like he told me to, and it worked out great for me. We're definitely back, baby. We definetly have to remain hugnry and humble and keep coming out here and keeping the title up for the 400m USA men. We're definitely getting out and finishing up the mission in the 4x400m, and letting everybody know USA is still number 1."
Sharon Day, women's heptathlon
"It's definitely a roller coaster ride. There are lots of ups, lots of downs, and you hope there are more ups than downs, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. I kind of knew that I kind of flushed my score down the toilet with my long jump. It was really unfortunate, but I had a great javelin and I PR'd by three seconds in the 800, so I can't complain there. It just makes me hungrier for two years from now."
Bettie Wade, women's heptathlon
"There were a lot of downs. I guess my javelin was the highlight of my meet, which isn't really saying much. It was just an off meet, and it is unfortunate that it happened at Worlds, but that is life you know. I just look forward to the future. And I had fun, I definitely made sure to have fun, so I'll hold on to that."
Erica Bougard, women's heptathlon
"It was a wonderful experience, but the heptathlon has to be the hardest thing to do when you are down and when you are losing. It has to be the hardest thing in the world to go from event to event and know you can't catch up. I'm still young, I've got time to get better. Hopefully in the next two years I'll just try to improve and I'll be at the next world championships."
Christine Spence, 400m hurdle semifinal
"I was very proud to run for the U.S., and I still am. I just know I'm so much better. But my teammates got to make it, so I'll be there cheering for them. I just have to go back and get ready for 2016."
Dalilah Muhammad, 400m hurdle semifinal
"I'm really excited. That was the main goal to make it to the finals. Now I have to focus on getting ready to try to medal. It is definitely a joy. We've been competing together all year, so to get to the final showdown is really something."
Lashinda Demus, 400m hurdle semifinal
"I feel good. I wish I didn't hit the hurdles the way I did, it really could have cost me the final. But it is over and done with, and I feel comfortable now. I have a race plan moving forward. It is even better to have a training partner there with me in the final, but anytime I have a companion from my country, it is really good. We should have fun in there."
Bershawn Jackson, 400m hurdle semifinal
"I'm in great condition, great form. In practice session, my hamstring cramped up on me, and it hurts. It's unfortunate, but I'm a fighter and I'm going to come back. This isn't the end of me, I'll be back. Today I tried to pick it up a notch I knew I had to run 48 to make it to the final, but it just grabbed on me and wouldn't let me go. It's one of those unfortunate things. It really hurt not making the Olympic team last year, but there is always next year."
Kerron Clement, 400mH semifinal
"It is really good to be through to the finals, that has always been the plan. The finals are all about letting go and going for the gold. I expect to have an amazing race. I expect to have fun, and of course it is always a goal to get gold."
Michael Tinsley, 400mH semifinal
"Thursday night is going to be exciting. Everybody better tune in. It's going to be a hell of a race."
Mary Cain, 1500m semifinal
"I felt pretty good. That is my second fastest time ever, 4:05, by about a second, which is pretty crazy as you can imagine for me. My last race was my second fastest, and that didn't really go great, I had a lot more in me. Geez, they made that hard out there. I'm excited to see what the other girls do, but gosh I'm excited to be automatic. It was pretty close out there and it came down to a dip. You know when I was younger, like I'm still in high school now, but when I was running in high school competitions, a few times I got beaten by a dip. So I try to master that skill and I guess it worked out, because out of the three of us, I think I was the number one person out there with that dip. So, fourth, I'll take it any day at the world championships semifinal. Hopefully I'll do the same thing in the final. That was a pretty hard effort for me, but I remember talking to Nick Symmonds - he is so nice - and he was like, 'after that Olympic semifinal he was like, there is no way I'm running any faster and he went out there and did it two seconds faster, so I look to him as a role model. So even though I'm exhausted, hopefully I still have more in the tank. It is definitely a confidence boost."
Sarah Brown, 1500m semifinal
"You know, that was interesting with a lot of jockeying, repositioning, a lot of running in lane 2, lane 3. I just couldn't have the pop. I'm just so grateful to be here and have this opportunity. I mean that was an awful race for me, but it wasn't like I wasn't trying. I was trying my hardest and it just wasn't there today."
Jenny Simpson, 1500m semifinal
"I was worried, but honestly it is not as nerve-wracking as the final. In the prelim, not to take it lightly, but you just have to be top five, and you kind of know who is going to be strong in the end, so if you have to be behind somebody, be behind them. I feel really good. I think there is the same pressure, that I want to show all of you guys all of the work I did this year, and hopefully that equates to better than I've ever done."

Everyone's entitled to a little hyperbole every now and then. But the closing minutes of last night's presidential debate contained a real whopper.
Republican candidate Mitt Romney claimed that half of the green-tech companies funded by Obama's stimulus package had gone bankrupt. Here's the precise wording, taken from a transcript of the debate:
"You put $90 billion into — into green jobs. And I — look, I'm all in favor of green energy. $90 billion, that would have — that would have hired 2 million teachers. $90 billion. And these businesses, many of them have gone out of business, I think about half of them, of the ones have been invested in have gone out of business. A number of them happened to be owned by people who were contributors to your campaigns."
First of all, this is the kind of estimate that's inherently hard — if not impossible — to pin down, due to the large number of companies involved. That $90 billion, for example, included $4 billion for smart grid projects, such as installing smart meters. So do you count all the big utilities that received money to install meters? (By the way, that doesn't include Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which funded its $2.2 billion SmartMeter program through utility bills.) How about the companies that make the meters? We're talking about a lot of businesses that benefited from clean-energy spending under the stimulus, and the chances that half of them went belly-up in the last three years are minimal, to put it mildly.
Romney, of course, is invoking the ghost of Solyndra in California, the solar panel maker that imploded last year after receiving $528 million in federal loans. Since Solyndra's bankruptcy, most Republican criticism of the Obama's green-jobs spending has focused on the loan programs run by the Department of Energy, programs that awarded $34.5 billion in loans. Here's the list of companies and projects that received those loans:
There are 33 projects. By my count, three of the companies behind those projects have gone bankrupt — Abound Solar, Beacon Power, and Solyndra.
Definitely not half.
Now, the success of many of the companies that received funding is far from guaranteed. And one can easily question whether taxpayers got their money's worth on all of the green stimulus spending. For example, California received $146 million in stimulus funding for a program to make homes more energy efficient. So far, the program has only served 5,130 homes. Not a lot of bang for the buck.
But the wave of bankruptcies that Romney's comments suggest? It hasn't happened.
Romney invoked Solyndra one more time by noting that some of the companies that received funding are owned by Obama contributors. Solyndra's largest private investor was George Kaiser, an Obama bundler with enough clout to get seated next to the president at a Las Vegas fundraising dinner after the company received its loan. But a congressional investigation found no conclusive evidence that the Kaiser connection won Solyndra its loan. And although people tend to forget it, Solyndra's second-largest private investor was a venture capital firm tied to the Walton family of Walmart fame, known for supporting Republican candidates.
Finally, I should note that anyone hoping the candidates would address global warming during the debate came away empty-handed. Search through the transcript for "warming" or "climate." Nothing there.

NEW HAVEN — "I'm a pack rat," said Ralph Farnsworth, standing in the jam-packed old barn where his father once milked a herd of 10 cows. "I figure somebody's got to have it, so it might as well be me."
"It" is everything — or, to be more specific, "anything old," as Farnsworth puts it.
The casual passer-by at Farnsworth's North Street home in New Haven will notice a few signs of this fascination with the antique. Arranged neatly on the groomed lawn by his barn are a few old tractors, all in pristine condition.

POULTNEY — For three years, talented Otter Valley Union High School softball teams have been knocking on the door of a Division II title. In 2006, four-time defending champion Lyndon slammed it shut on the Otters, and in 2007 and 2008 lower seeds knocked OV out of the tournament.
On Friday night before a big crowd of mostly Brandon-Pittsford area fans at the Poultney Recreation Center, the Otters walked through that door and evicted the Vikings in a nerve-wracking D-II final, 3-2.

MIDDLEBURY — A combined total of four buses at Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) and Elderly Services Inc. will be replaced by the end of this year, thanks to a cut of $3.9 million in federal stimulus money.
The two local nonprofits were among a list of nine Vermont public transit providers that will share in the federal grant awards, confirmed last week by the state's congressional delegation.

ADDISON COUNTY — Dairy farmers around the country are rallying behind a price stabilization program that some dairy farmers hope could help reduce volatility in bulk milk prices, which plummeted this winter to a low of roughly $10 per hundredweight, $7 or $8 below the cost of production for Vermont farmers.
But with milk prices projected to rebound somewhat this fall, advocates for the new program say farmers need to move fast before rising bulk prices dissuade some dairymen from pushing for change.

"Army recruiter: Tougher tattoo rules bring fewer -- but better -- recruits"
By: Bonnie Miller Rubin
July 10, 2014
"Uncle Sam still wants you — just not as heavily inked.
More than three months after the Army implemented a more stringent tattoo policy, recruiters say they are the ones feeling the pinch.
"It certainly makes our job a little more challenging," said Staff Sgt. Carrington Oliver of the South Holland recruiting station.
The new regulations, which went into effect around April 1, mean turning away about 10 to 12 potential recruits at his office each month, Oliver said.
Still, he endorsed the changes. "It's all about projecting a more professional image."
The tighter rules ban body art on the head, face, neck, wrists, hands and fingers. Soldiers are allowed a maximum of four visible tattoos below the elbow or knee, but they must be smaller than the wearer's hand, which means that "sleeves" are also prohibited. (Extremist, sexist and racist tattoos have always been taboo.)
The Army now has the toughest tattoo policy of all the branches of service. It's not the first time that the top brass has turned thumbs down on being overly tatted up, said Wayne Hall, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon.
However, following the 9/11 attacks, when more recruits were needed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army took a more lenient stance — and the inkwell flowed with abandon.
But the Army decided it was time to reassess. Existing soldiers who are non-compliant with the revised policy are grandfathered in.
"Any time you make something tougher, you're going to see a reaction. But, ultimately, it's more rewarding because we're bringing on board the highest quality soldiers possible," Hall said.
The new policy is included in the Army's publication on proper appearance in uniform. The 56-page publication spells out every possible fad and fashion — from tongue bifurcation to ear gauging to dental ornamentation (all of which are outlawed).
In South Holland, military hopefuls typically respond by promising to have their conspicuous body art removed, Oliver said. "They are very motivated ...and say they'll be back after having them removed."
At Advanced Dermatology in Lincolnshire, Steve Prus, a physician's assistant, is treating one potential recruit who is deleting the oversized art from his forearm. Laser removal can cost $400 to $600 and take anywhere between 5 to 15 sessions, depending on the size.
The tattoo being removed?
His mother's name."

Los Angeles — For the second consecutive year, UCLA Anderson was named 1st in Entrepreneurship worldwide by the Financial Times in its fifth-annual survey of full-time MBA programs, published on Monday, Jan. 20. Overall, UCLA Anderson ranked 20th among business schools worldwide and 16th among schools in the United States. Additionally, Anderson ranked 3rd worldwide in Top Salaries in Industry.
Dean Bruce Willison said UCLA Anderson's efforts in entrepreneurship capitalize on integrating the faculty's strengths in core disciplines such as finance, marketing, operations and technology management, global economics and management and human resources.
"The success of the Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies is a reflection of the high caliber of the school's teaching, research and experiential programs across disciplines," said Dean Willison.
The Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies is a recognized leader in entrepreneurial education and research, and oversees all teaching, scholarship, extracurricular and community activities related to entrepreneurship at The Anderson School. The Price Center has worked to integrate entrepreneurial activities across academic disciplines, as well to make entrepreneurial topics, studies and issues part of the school's overall curriculum, said Dr. Alfred E. Osborne, Jr., director of the Price Center and associate professor of global economics and management.
"The Price Center provides a set of academic and extracurricular experiences that advance both the theory and practice of entrepreneurship, while preparing MBA students for the challenge of management in entrepreneurial environments," said Dr. Osborne.
Beyond serving as a leading institution for training MBA and Ph.D. students, The Anderson School at UCLA is committed to sharing its intellectual capital through an array of non-degree management and leadership programs, including several programs offered by the Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and taught by Anderson School faculty:
Management Development for Entrepreneurs (MDE) Program — This program enables entrepreneurs to develop essential management skills and strengthen their ability to build and manage effective and profitable organizations. MDE provides participants with a varied curriculum of lectures, case discussions, applied workshops and business improvement consultation.
Head Start - Johnson & Johnson Management Fellows Program — Since its inception in 1991, the program has trained more than 830 Head Start managers in the latest management techniques. Johnson & Johnson and the Head Start Bureau fund this program, which consists of two two-week intensive training sessions each summer. Head Start is a federally funded comprehensive child development program serving low-income children and their families.
Director Training Program — This program is a two-day intensive director-level education seminar that quickly educates directors and C-level officers regarding SEC regulations, FASB considerations, Nasdaq rules and best practices in governance. The course is intended to reduce the frequency and severity of shareholder complaints and resulting litigation against directors & officers and their firms.
Johnson & Johnson/UCLA Health Care Executive Program — This program provides management training and development for executive directors of community-based health care organizations that offer care for the underprivileged and uninsured. The first session of this program was conducted in July 2002 for 40 executive directors representing 250 sites that serve more than 500,000 patients annually.
Management Development for Early Childhood Educators — This program provides leadership and management training to early childhood educators, enabling them to implement strategic improvements within their organizations. By strengthening agencies that educate young children, we aim to raise the standards of service to children and families nationwide.

- Multiple trackables (tracking types):
- Image Targets
- Multi-Targets
- Cylinder Targets
- Word Targets
- Frame Markers
- Real-world Interactions
- Virtual Buttons
source : https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/api/index
1. Setup Vuforia SDK v2.6
I assume that you already have Android SDK and NDK setup in computer.
Step 1: Download Vuforia SDK v2.6 For Android
Step 2: Extract vuforia-sdk-android-2-6-10 in desire folder
Step 3: Download Samples from following link
Step 4: Extract sample zip file vuforia-sampleapps-android-2-6-7
Step 5: Copy all samples from extracted folder and paste in <vuforia_sdk>/samples folder
<vuforia_sdk> is directory location where you extracted SDK in step 2
2. Compile and execute ImageTargats sample app
Sample has NDK and SDK coding, so normally I compile NDK from terminal and SDK using eclipse
Step 1: Open Terminal & go to <vuforia_sdk>/sample/ImageTargats-2-6-7/,
Step 2: Execute "ndk-build" to compile NDK code, make sure you have environment variable which point to Android NDK directory otherwise terminal will give you "comment not found" error
Step 3: Open eclipse and import ImageTargats-2-6-7 project
Step 4: Set class path variable in eclipse
In Eclipse, go to Window->Preferences.
Navigate to Java->Build Path->Classpath Variables using the hierarchy browser.
Create a new variable by selecting New...
into the Name: field, and navigate using Folder... to the vuforia-sdk-android-xx-yy-zz directory
Step 5: Right click on "ImageTargats" project -> select run -> Android Application
Step 6: Take Print of target image
Step 7: Open ImageTargets Android application in device and place device in front of printed target image, you will see nice 3d teapot
3. Understand code of ImageTargats app
- AboutScreen.java: Display about content, start ImageTarget activity
- DebugLog.java: Exposes functionality for logging, support class for logging
- ImageTargets.java: This class is responsible for almost everything (i.e. managing camera, surface view for rendering, loading texture, etc)
- ImageTargetsRenderer.java: extends GLSurfaceView.Renderer which is used to render OpenGL graphics, this class is also act as bridge between native code and java code, actual rendering is happening in native code using "renderFrame()" method
- ImageTargetsSplashScreen.java: display simple image for 2000 milliseconds and open Aboutscreen.java activity
- QCARSampleGLView.java: This class extends GLSurfaceView, it is responsible for setting up and configuring the OpenGL surface view.
- Texture.java: Texture is a support class for the QCAR samples applications, It load texture image from asset to memory
- Android.mk: standard android build script for module
- Application.mk: standard android build script for application
- CubeShader.h: Defines OpenGL shaders as char* strings. OpenGL Shading Language (abbreviated: GLSL or GLslang), is a high-level shading language based on the syntax of the C programming language. It was created by the OpenGL ARB to give developers more direct control of the graphics pipeline without having to use ARB assembly language or hardware-specific languages. More.
- ImageTargets.cpp: It is used to bridge between native and java code, This class has JNI methods, "startCamera" method actually start capturing frame from camera and identify tracker using QCAR tracker manager API
- SampleUtil.h/cpp: A utility class which define common & static function like printMatrix, checkGLError, setRotationMatrix...
- Teapot.h: This class define teapot OpenGL co-ordinate, vertices and indices,Vuforia API only identify marker, for content we can use OpenGL, Content generation and display is most important part of Augmented Reality, I personally thing that Metaio has more robust and powerful content generation system.
- Texture.h/cpp: another utility class, It load Texture buffer from Texture.java object.

Solar refueling is the biggest culprit, as it is unlimited and it enables other tedious actions like spamming Ingenuity or strip-mining entire systems of ore.NMS wrote:Nicholas Feinberg's talk was great. To boil it down to one sentence: If you want your game to be fun, don't allow players to improve their chances of winning via easy, repetitive actions.
Transcendence is better at this than a lot of games in its various genres, but there are some tedious ways of gaining an advantage, such as farming station reinforcements; waiting for friendly stations to restock their currency and/or reactors (in cases where you can resell them at a profit); and sitting on the sun with solar panels or armor to refuel.
Instead of adding unlimited fuel, solar items could increase fuel efficiency (value varies by distance to star) so that fuel burns more slowly.

By Paul A. Borovay, Associate
In CrossFit, Inc. v. Results Plus Personal Training Inc, the panel held that an unsubstantiated "consent to transfer" will not avoid an adverse ruling. National Arbitration Claim Number: FA1305001498576 (June 28, 2013). The domain names at issue were <crossfitagawam.com>, <crossfitansonia.com>, <crossfitbeaconfalls.com>, and many other "crossfit"-derivative .com domain names referring to different cities across the United States.
CrossFit, Inc. provided workout and gym products and services. Its revenue mainly came from licensing its registered CROSSFIT marks and programs to affiliate gyms around the country. Typically the affiliate would register a "crossfit" domain name that included a geographic designator, e.g., crossfitboston.com. The Respondent, Results Plus Personal Training Inc., was a competitor of Crossfit. It registered 113 domain names, most of which "do nothing but add the name of a famous or popular city [to] the CrossFit mark." Most were used for parked web pages, often with advertising hyperlinks for Respondent and other competitors. The panel found that Respondent registered that large amount of domain names "to resell them exclusively to Complainant and its affiliates." It was a "bad faith endeavor to confuse Internet users into believing Complainant or its CrossFit mark is at the source of the content, all so Respondent can advance its goals to generate revenue."
Results Plus argued that GoDaddy.com led it to believe that it could legally register and use these domain names in the manner that it did. Although CrossFit had filed a federal court action seeking $9 million in damages, the Panel determined that it retained authority to proceed to decision. To avoid an adverse ruling, Results Plus offered to transfer the domain names to Crossfit on the condition that Crossfit pay Results Plus $1,300, which Results Plus argued was "far less" than it had spent maintaining the 113 domain names.
The Panel observed that an effective consent to transfer does not ordinarily arise when the transfer is subject to the condition precedent of a markholder's payment of fees. The Panel found that Complainant has not implicitly consented in its Complaint to the transfer of the disputed domain names without a decision on the merits by the Panel. The Panel observed that this "consent-to-transfer" approach was one way cybersquatters tried to avoid adverse holdings, but it normally was ineffective, especially when the alleged "consent" required the transfer of money to the respondent. The Panel ultimately found that Results Plus did not have any legitimate interest in the disputed domain names and had acted in bad faith, and ordered the domain names transferred to Cross Fit.
This case highlights that trademark owners can bring an action to transfer multiple infringing domain names from a single cybersquatter under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (commonly referred to as "UDRP"). The UDRP sets forth the grounds on which arbitrators base their decisions, but there are several different dispute resolution forums from which to choose, all with their own local rules, procedures and leanings. While I do not practice CrossFit myself, I know a good 1-2 punch when I see one – and, for now, Results Plus is down for the count.

Daktaris first product will be Daktari CD4, a CD4 cell counting system portable and robust enough to be used anywhere, from a doctors office to the most remote settings. Combining groundbreaking innovations in microscale technologies with simplicity in design and use, Daktari brings this essential blood test to parts of the world where millions of people now have access to life-saving drugs, yet cannot receive the best treatment due to inadequate diagnostics.
As simple in concept and as easy to use as a glucose meter, Daktari technology overcomes the two critical barriers to point-of-care testing: complex sample preparation, and fragile, expensive optical sensors.Microfluidics Daktaris sample preparation technology, known to specialists as microfluidic cell chromatography, isolates cells and other particles in a miniature sensing chamber, without pipetting, labels or reagents of any kindnone of the complex manual steps that take blood tests out of the hands of clinicians who work beyond the reach of sophisticated labs.Electrochemical sensing Daktari CD4 also takes advantage of a second innovation, lysate impedance spectroscopy. The system uses a simple sensor that counts the captured CD4 cells by measuring their internal contents electrically. A handheld instrument interprets the electrical signal, and reports the CD4 count within minutes.Unencumbered by the lenses, cameras, filters or complex optics that put many diagnostic tests out of reach for clinics, health posts, and mobile caregivers, Daktari CD4 will put the power of accurate test results in the hands of the people who need them.
The Daktari CD4 is currently in development and undergoing performance evaluation.More information about this unique microfluidic product you will find at: www.daktaridx.com>> Download Case Study 'Daktari' (PDF)

Sometimes friendship can blind a person. It's easy to pick out small contributions to an area by any congressman. However, any congressman who supports blindly the measures that President Barack Obama has put in place does not deserve to be re-elected.
I am not a TEA Party person or Republican. I am an Independent. I am also sick and tired of the debt that this president and Congress has buried us in. Between the handouts and the so called health care for all we are slowly being pushed into a socialistic state.

some of the companies I'm working with stopped sending bills by ordinary mail but send them by email and are expecting that I print them out myself.
At the same time they are also sending lots of infos I don't care about. Up to now I brought these mails by use of a filter into the folder abebboks_info and missed the bills until a got a reclamation.
Now I would like to have pocomail to print out the attachment with the name bill.pdf and then move the mail to abebooks_info.

I tried all kind of filters - without success and also the hunting in the existing script library was without success. can anybody help.

Practice Random Acts of Kindness
April has always been a special month for me because my late mother, former Pennsylvania First Lady Mary Jane Leader, and I celebrated April birthdays. April has not been the same since she passed away in March, 2011.
Throughout her life, Mother was a daily example of kindness to others and she inspired us to do the same for our families and in our communities. She and Dad—former Pennsylvania Governor George M. Leader—founded Country Meadows and Ecumenical Retirement Communities upon treating people with kindness.
In her honor, my family and I encourage all our neighbors to practice random acts of kindness, particularly in April. We feel it only appropriate that her memory live on by encouraging others to remember the little things that can truly brighten someone's day. Random acts of kindness can be as simple as smiling at a stranger, helping someone with their groceries or just paying a visit. Mother loved to surprise family and friends with an unexpected gift—like delivering homemade fudge or a pecan or rhubarb pie.
Mother gets the credit for bumper stickers on our organizations' vehicles that read "Practice Random Acts of Kindness." This phrase was a favorite of hers and one that she practiced often. I invite you to visit the front desk of your local Country Meadows or Ecumenical Retirement Community location where you can pick up free window clings and bumper stickers displaying this simple yet powerful message.
And be sure to click here for inspiration in ways (51, in fact) to be kind to a senior.
Everyday we try to make life better at our organizations and whether the grantor or recipient of a kind act, the generosity of the human spirit provides great rewards. I encourage you to pay it forward with a random act of kindness.
Michael Leader
President & CEO
