Study About IP On The Human Genome Shows That Patents Hindered Innovation
from the another-one-to-add-to-the-pile dept
This paper provides empirical evidence on how intellectual property (IP) on a given technology affects subsequent innovation. To shed light on this question, I analyze the sequencing of the human genome by the public Human Genome Project and the private firm Celera, and estimate the impact of Celera's gene-level IP on subsequent scientific research and product development outcomes. Celera's IP applied to genes sequenced first by Celera, and was removed when the public effort re-sequenced those genes. I test whether genes that ever had Celera's IP differ in subsequent innovation, as of 2009, from genes sequenced by the public effort over the same time period, a comparison group that appears balanced on ex ante gene-level observables. A complementary panel analysis traces the effects of removal of Celera's IP on within-gene flow measures of subsequent innovation. Both analyses suggest Celera's IP led to reductions in subsequent scientific research and product development outcomes on the order of 30 percent. Celera's short-term IP thus appears to have had persistent negative effects on subsequent innovation relative to a counterfactual of Celera genes having always been in the public domain.Levine laments that the NBER version of the paper he links to is not available for free, but a quick Google search turns up a few publicly available versions of the paper (though, they appear to be earlier drafts) such as this one (pdf)). There's also the following powerpoint presentation (pdf) embedded below, which highlights the key findings and data from Williams' research:
Celera IP on genes has strong negative impact on future research and product developmentNow, it's important to note that both the paper and the slide presentation note that you can't necessarily conclude from this paper that IP slowed down the overall human genome sequencing efforts. It notes, for example, that the presence of Celera in the market, getting IP, may have created competitive pressure that sped up the Human Genome Project's effort to sequence. However, it does note that given the competition between Celera and the Human Genome Project, it seems clear that Celera's use of IP was clearly not the best way to create the greatest level of social benefit.
Also, Celera genes have not "caught up" with ex-ante similar genes sequenced by HGP as of 2009
- 35% fewer publications since 2001
- 16% points reduction in chance of gene having known uncertain genotype-phenotype link
- 2% points reduction in chance of gene having known and certain genotype-phenotype link
- 1.5% points less likely to be used in genetic tests
While the paper doesn't delve into it, this is really another way of pointing to the difference between invention and innovation as a process. Innovation tends to be an ongoing process of continual improvements. And that's where IP almost always seems to hinder activities, rather than help it. That's because IP puts a giant brake or tollbooth into the process of all of that important follow on innovation. There may be some argument that IP can help in one-off situations where there is no ongoing innovation, but those situations are excessively rare in the real world, if they exist at all.

CHICAGO (AP) – State lawmakers who are bitterly divided whether to legalize the concealed carry of weapons now have 6 months to do it – or they may end up with no say in the matter after a federal appeals court threw out the state's concealed gun ban last week.
"After that (180-day) period, you and I could strap a rifle on our shoulder and walk down (Chicago's) Michigan Avenue and there's nothing anybody could do about it," said state Rep. Brandon Phelps, a gun rights proponent from Harrisburg whose concealed-carry bill failed last year.
The reason, lawmakers say, is that ignoring the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling carries the consequence of turning Illinois into a "constitutional carry" state. That means all Illinois residents would need to carry a concealed weapon is a valid Illinois Firearms Owners Identification card, without the need for a permit or training.
The ticking clock will create an intense focus on the issue in the upcoming legislative session beginning in January, with opponents and proponents arguing over a range of options like those adopted by other states — if the appeals ruling is not stayed by an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Already, Phelps said there are signs of movement and compromise. Since Tuesday's ruling, he said, he's received calls from lawmakers in Chicago who have long opposed concealed carry but now are asking to be included in crafting a bill.
"That never happened before," the Democrat said.
At the same time, opponents of concealed carry are sure to cite recent shootings — especially last week's rampage at a Connecticut school that left more than two dozen dead, most of them children — to pressure for strict controls on who can carry and where.
"It would be difficult to believe anybody could go back to their districts and say 'I didn't vote to restrict weapons,'" House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, a Chicago Democrat, said Friday after the Connecticut shootings.
It's possible that gun control advocates will seek to propose an alternative bill to Phelps', one that would have the backing of Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who are both vocal gun control advocates.
Illinois is the last state in the nation that bans concealed carry. The appellate court ruling, which gave lawmakers the 180-day deadline, was a major victory for gun rights activists who had vowed to make the state and its ban the center of the national gun control debate. They believe the ruling now gives them broad leeway to craft a bill without tough restrictions.
In four other states — Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming and Vermont — residents are not required to have any permit at all to carry a concealed weapon.
Most states, 36 in all, are required to issue concealed carry permits if applicants meet certain criteria that can include background checks and training requirements.
By contrast, nine states, including New York and California, allow residents to obtain concealed carry permits but only after law enforcement officials approve. Those stricter state laws have the support of gun control advocates.
In New York, the law requires that residents show a "special need for self-protection," and a simple desire for a gun or concerns about living in a high-crime area is not a good enough reason to carry a gun. The law was upheld last month by a different federal appeals court.
In California, the decision on who can get a permit is left up to the local sheriff's office. Gun rights advocates grumble about that, citing statistics showing it far easier to get permits in rural counties than in more-populated urban counties.
What gun-rights advocates' new bill probably won't look like, Phelps said, is the one that he tried unsuccessfully to push through last year with lots of concessions. He said it is unlikely he and other gun-rights proponents will settle for anything nearly as restrictive as the California and New York laws.
"It's a whole new ball game," Phelps said. "The court said there are no restrictions and all (a concealed carry law) had to be was reasonable."
He said last year's bill included prohibitions on carrying guns in places like schools, sporting events, churches, courthouses and police stations, but that list could be whittled down. He is against allowing guns at schools, and was even before the Connecticut shootings.
Phelps' new proposal likely would contain a provision requiring an applicant to undergo a background check. It also would require training for applicants before they are granted a permit, but perhaps not as extensive as the previous bill's call for an 8-hour training class from state police and both a written and shooting test.
"I'm sure some legislators are going to want 4-5 hours," he said. "Some may want 32 hours, but I doubt they'll get that."
One thing all sides likely will agree on is not letting the 180 days expire without doing something.
"This isn't a fiscal cliff, but it is a cliff," Phelps said.

BUENA VISTA, Va. — Sharlet Rowley Bouchelle was commended by the General Assembly of Virginia for her service as Virginia Mother of the Year on March 9. Bouchelle, from Buena Vista, Va., has been serving in that capacity for the past year.
Bouchelle and her family are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and attend the Rockbridge Ward, Buena Vista Virginia Stake. She is currently serving as the stake Relief Society president. Bouchelle is the wife of Joe Bouchelle and the mother of four children. Their eldest son, Joseph, is currently serving in the California Roseville Mission.
"I am so grateful that time was taken by these elected officials to acknowledge the important role of motherhood," Bouchelle said. "Strong moms do strengthen families, and anything we can do to support and encourage mothers is worthwhile."
Bouchelle was chosen by American Mothers, Inc., to serve as the 2011 Mother of the Year for Virginia. American Mothers, Inc. — a nonprofit, interfaith organization founded in 1933, provides educational, cultural and spiritual programs for mothers of all ages and backgrounds — annually selects state and national mothers of the year and promotes the role of mother as a building block of society.
Bouchelle recognized the role her faith plays in her life as a mother.
"As a Latter-day Saint woman, I am often humbled by the eternal significance of my responsibilities as a parent, but I am also constantly grateful for the strength and support the gospel brings," Bouchelle said. "The knowledge that I, and all women, am a daughter of a loving Heavenly Father is a continual means of support and encouragement. The influence of righteous women can never be underestimated, and I believe we must help and support each other along the way."
She also acknowledged her gratitude for the the support of the greater community in praising and honoring motherhood.
"I am grateful to the many men and women of all faiths who are working hard to remind society that motherhood is indeed a sacred and vital role that should be honored, uplifted and protected," she said. "There is no greater joy in my life than the hope that my family can be eternally together, and that perspective helps me as I experience the joys and also the daily challenges of mothering."
When Bouchelle recieved a phone call from the head of the mother of the year search committee in Virginia saying that she had been nominated, she was surprised.
"I was very surprised and, of course, immediately the names of at least 10 women I know ran through my mind. I wrote those names down and said I would like to submit them to the search committee," Bouchelle said. "These were women who I have known for a very long time. Each one is an amazing example — some are foster parents, some are very active in civic affairs, some have overcome enormous challenges in life."
Instead of accepting, Bouchelle gave the list to the Virginia Chapter president, Annelle Doxey, in the hopes of finding a more suitable honoree.
"(Doxey) kindly looked over my list and said something like, 'Well, I'm sure these are all fine mothers. In fact, we've even discussed a few of them, but we just feel really good about asking you to do this. Would you please consider it?'" Bouchelle recalled. "I just kept repeating that I don't do anything super special — I'm just a regular mom."
Still, Bouchelle considered the offer.
"After she left, I consulted with my husband and children and, of course, spent some time praying and pondering over the decision. The final answers came as I discussed it with my stake president, who said, 'That's a great opportunity. How could you not do it?'" Bouchelle said. "So with the support and encouragement of my family and priesthood leaders, I accepted."
Although it took some getting used to, Bouchelle says she has been pleased with the opportunities that the recognition has provided to shine a light on all mothers.
"I am very humbled by the experience and only became comfortable with it as I realized that I could help represent the many thousands of 'every moms' throughout Virginia — the ones who get up every day and do what needs to be done to keep things running smoothly in their families and communities," she said. "They deserve recognition and gratitude every day, not just on Mother's Day, and it is on their behalf that I have served this past year. To have our Virginia General Assembly pause for a moment and acknowledge the contributions made by the 'every moms' has been a wonderful conclusion to my efforts over the past year."

Yeah, Celes, don't be so... aggressive. I think these two projects are still making project and will be subbed sooner or later (I'm leaning more towards the "later", but it's better than nothing). The Windy Tales project has some flukes in coordination, yes, but you don't need to step in and assume control of the situation. Oh, and I'm not trying to be offensive - just defensive. Hopefully we'll get everything straightened out soon.

I don't mind "competition", I will surely learn something from your releases (*bows low to Live-Evil translator who handled so smoothly some tricky parts*). I'm just not sure if that's gonna earn you sympathy among other fansubbers.... But then again, I presume you know what you're doing and are aware of the risks involved.

Limited to shows with depth, catering to the mature audience, of course
All I can say is that we'll do it to the best of our limited ability.
Please be assured, this is not a popularity contest. If it was we'ed be doing licensed, mainstream stuff in bulk
As for resuming stalled projects, we've done it with Zipang as Deph lacked the resources to carry on with the show.
Nevertheless, we acknowledge the good work they have done and are distibuting their work together with our, with their expressed permission, of course.

[QUOTE=CelesAurivern]What is it that I'm supposed to be preaching?
In other forum areas, I've seen you saying stuff such as this group hawks other projects, that is why they are a bad group, or that its wrong to hawk this project.
That is what I mean by practice what you preach, and to not be so aggressive towards other slow groups. Can you not follow your own lead. Also, as I stated in another part of this forum, your overfansubbing group, seems like a waste of resources, when it is obvious you can put those gret workers on other things. It also shows what a lack of respect you have towards the fansubbing community as a whole.
Personally, when I came to the forums and saw your post on the "fansubbers wanted" section of this forum, It made me sick to my stomach.

v. intr.
To peddle goods aggressively, especially by calling out.
Could you link me to the post where I accuse people of hawking?
I don't really recall making such a statement, and I'd like to be made to eat those words, if they were ever said.
I'm only doing what everyone else in the community seems to be leaning towards in recent times; oversubbing.
I fail to see how that constitutes disrespect.
I'm sure you'll have a smashing time getting to know each and every one of the denizens.

I understand that you and other members of anime community can't wait to see the next episode of Gallery Fake. I understand it even more as I love this show myself. But the last thing I would like for my fansubbing activities would be starting to resemble my real life with mad deadlines, heavy load of work etc. I fansub for fun.... And I would like it to remain so... Poking me to translate faster is welcome as it shows that people are genuinely interested in my fansub work... But that's about it. I work on Gallery Fake as much as I can. Which, I honestly admit, is not much as of late. Still we're crawling forward....

Then let's look at the last few suggestions in said thread, omitting all the banter at the side.
Animal Yokocho: Talking stuffed animals, nuff said.
Windy Tales: Yes, that's something already set back in motion.
Magical Fairy Persia: The words "magic" and "fairy" do not exactly relate to the word "mature".
Dr. Rin: Yet another mahou+shoujo genre -_-
Yawara: Sports genre. Show is actively being carried out by LE-FB.
Galaxy Express 999: Other than the fact that I have no interest in Matsumoto Leiji space dramas, I'm under the impression this one might make it to Sylf's hands sometime.
Keroro Gunsou: This is slapstick and parody.
Yu-Gi-Oh Original: This one was made just to pimp the card game. In all seriousness...
Then the rest are old comments from 2004...
No one is forcing you to throw all your spare time into this show. I know full well it's no walk in the park.
Okay, here's the stand:
Anyone who is reading this and is interested to see my associates carry out Gallery Fake, say aye.
If there is no public interest, we will not do a public release, i.e. internal only.
And would those with troll accounts refrain from commenting.

Aye. I love Gallery Fake.
Sorry Murasaki & others at SpA, but unless you guys believe you can pick up the pace, I have to support someone else doing the show. I don't normally care too much about release speed, and I'm grateful for the work you have done, but at four episodes a year, it would be eight more years before you finish the series. And well, I don't know if you'll still be subbing in eight years, but I fully intend to be able to watch the raws long before that, so even if Celes doesn't sub it, eight years is longer than I will wait.
That said, it would be nice if this could be settled some way without hurting anyone's feelings, or other drama. I guess no matter what, some people will still dismiss me as an impatient, whiny leecher and condemn Celes (et al) as someone who peddles goods aggressively, or whatever. If it's someone not actually involved in this, I don't really care, but Murasaki, judging by your posts you don't exactly like what Celes proposes to do, and what I support. Again, sorry. I hope that you can at least forgive us, if nothing else, and still continue to enjoy fansubbing.

Please come to some agreement, people. As long as you get it done. However I'm only following the Windy Tales part of this .
Yes, fansubbing is supposed to be fun, but it'll be more fun if something gets accomplished. For example, my unpainted full-scale remote-controlled Audi A4 has been sitting on my desk for weeks. I have bought the paints. I have all the modeling tools assembled. I have the electronics and soldering iron ready. I had started working on it a few months ago. I did some preliminary wiring. I cleaned the plastic shell. But week after week after week, it's just sitting their, its electronics exposed, gathering dust. Every weekend I keep aiming to put some work in, but every week I end up doing something else.
Now, imagine if an associate who shares my hobby walks in, sees my work so far, and offers to finish it? What do I do? If he finishes it, and does a good job, will I be jealous? Should I be jealous?
That's all the parables for today. Till next time, folks ^_^.

Aye for wanting to see more of this show subbed...
with LE stalled on it for a year... and well 4 ep a year for a 37 ep total show (with last time frame between ep3 and 4 a 6month time in between), if a group can do it in a slightly faster pace, why not let them pick up where it was left off...
it's not like this show's oversubbed...
and the airing's long over already
and I think cele's main purpose of picking where it left off is to 'finish' it in a much relative reasonable pace instead of leaving it stalled/spanned over 5+years, and not about beating you in speed like a speedsub or in terms of quality work
this is why i appreciate dp's work on continuing shows like zipang, without them, it'll probably still be in ep6?

If anything, this whole discussion makes me aware how little time I can devote to fansubbing and how attached to that project I am. But that's not to say I don't want anyone else to sub it. I think I just don't want to see this project "taken over", but I'd rather see it started as a new project, if you get what I'm trying to say.
So, Celes, if you need help with raws/raw manga/anything else, you know where to find me

It's now 1 year on since the initial drive to get a collaborative team together to sub Gallery Fake. I've been talking to CelesAurivern and we're relaunched the "appeal" if you will.
The old channel has been reopened: #necro-rise on rizon. We're actively looking for staff to support exisiting functions as well as the critical role of translator. Gallery Fake is a reasonably complex series in terms of vocabulary so we need first-rate translation skills.
We have the complete 32 volumes of RAW manga upon which the anime is based, which may help aid in translation of the anime.
Please hop in to #necro-rise if you think you can help in anyway. We're operating the project as a standalone rather than as a joint, we're not interested in credits, just getting this fantastic series out to the fans that want it so much.

By Janet de Acevedo Macdonald ©
Have you ever witnessed the equestrian equivalent of a Super Bowl Half Time Show wardrobe malfunction? How many times have you watched, embarrassed, as a female handler bounced into the main ring alongside her exquisitely groomed steed seemingly unaware that all eyes were glued to her? Ladies, what follows is the forbidden topic that male trainers and other female equestrian competitors don't discuss in polite company. You've groomed and prepared your horse, but have you considered what your personal appearance communicates?
Showing in the main ring is absolutely the time to look your best, but it is not the time to wear your balconette, bralette, built-in, demi-cup, minimizer, novelty, or push-up Wonderbra. Those of us who compete in equestrian sports have no interest in binding our breasts and I'm not advocating we mirror our male counterparts by completely reigning in "our girls." Instead, let's show like well-dressed women with our breasts secured snuggly against harm and embarrassment. None of us want a wardrobe malfunction à la Janet Jackson's "BoobGate" nor do we want to be reduced to the sum of our parts.
Sports bras are not just for the well endowed and you should always wear one when showing your horse. Before you think a vest or jacket will keep you safe from malfunction, know that nothing covers your assets as well as a good sports bra.
Anatomically speaking
Cooper's ligaments, the fibrous connections between our skin and pectoral muscles, primarily support breasts. Skin can be easily, irreversibly stretched if continually taxed. Wearing the right sports bra reduces breast movement, pain and the possibility of long-term damage as it improves your posture, an important component when competing.
According to Selaine Saxby, founder and director of the UK's LessBounce.com, the majority of women experience breast pain when exercising, which can cause discomfort and embarrassment.
Sports bra styles and favorites
Sports bras are available in several styles: traditional back closure, racer back, underwire, non-wire, crop top, and front fastening.
The front-fastening ENELL Sports Bra ($60-$80 range) is the favorite of Oprah Winfrey and NBC's The Biggest Loser. Using the science of superior bust support and comfort, ENELL designs sports apparel for well-endowed women. Nothing escapes this satiny front-closure baby. Ladies, your girls will be cradled during any high impact aerobic activity. If you don't find dashing in the main ring with an equine locomotive at the end of the lead to be a workout, your style could use more enthusiasm.
If you normally wear two sports bras to get the support you need, Moving Comfort's Calli Bra ($40-$50 range) is the one for you. Made for women with C-E cup sizes, this bra offers support, separation and comfort with a padded underwire and wide, adjustable straps.
Pure Lime High Impact Compression Bra ($40-$70 range) is one of the several highlighted undergarments for handlers and riders by SmartPakEquine.com.
A personal recommendation is not to wear the unmolded sports bras without another bra underneath because your breasts may shift to the middle of your chest, making you look and feel like an uncomfortable uniboob. When showing halter, the entry goes so quickly, you want to concentrate on enjoying the moment, not wondering if you look like a Dr. Seuss character.
My personal favorite is the Danskin Now style, available at Walmart ($8-$15 range) in a crop top, unmolded sports bra style. This combo not only passes my jiggle-reduction test, it's budget-friendly to boot.
Fitting and buying tips
The virtual Sports Bra Fitting Room at MovingComfort.com offers good decision-making tips:
- Your sports bra band should fit slightly snugger than a lingerie bra. Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook.
- Breasts should be completely held within the cups without overflowing and the cup fabric should be smooth because wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big.
- A sports bra with an underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape.
- Straps should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable; the straps should not dig into or slide off your shoulders.
Look for sports bras with maximum control designed for intense workouts. You want to feel snug as a bug in a rug.
To underwire or not to underwire? It's a matter of preference, but, speaking from experience, it's irritating in too many ways to count to have the underwire slip from its seam at an inopportune time.
Dressed for the winner's circle
Finally, dress professionally to prove you're serious about competing. Buy a smartly tailored jacket at a local thrift shop--you'll not only support your community but at those prices you won't mind being lovingly nudged by a Show Sheen-gooped horse. When shopping, remember to look at the jacket's length, too. What does it do when you "raise and show?" Not only do we want eyes focused on our horse and not an unintentional Super Bowl Half Time Show, we don't want judges and spectators looking at our tummies, either.
At the gate, remember to stand up straight, shoulders back, breathe, and run into the main ring confident that it really will be all about the horse.

X-Ray Scanner Vans Not Just Being Sold To Law Enforcement
from the who's-scanning-whom? dept
Other releases are more vague, however, identifying the purchasers only as "the U.S government," a "Latin American customs agency," an "international government agency," "U.S. law enforcement officials," a "South American government," a "Middle Eastern country," a "Middle Eastern government," a "Middle East government agency," a "Middle East law enforcement agency," a "South American law enforcement agency," a "new African customer," a "European Union (EU) and an Asia Pacific (APAC) client," and a "Middle Eastern customer."Defenders of the systems basically say that people shouldn't be afraid of such things because they need to be used within the requirements of privacy laws (in the US, at least), but seem to ignore how the US government has been more or less ignoring the 4th Amendment pretty regularly lately. They also say that the technology isn't good enough to really get the "naked scans" unless you're right next to the van. Of course, since the vans are made up to look like ordinary vans, most people will have no idea if they're standing right next to one. And, on top of that, you have to assume that the scanning technology is only going to improve over time, meaning that it will be able to get much more detailed scans from a much greater distance.

I've had a scription with scifigen.com for a while to get books sent to me. That has worked but its wierd that you can't just get a straight subscription from Marvel or DC. I guess they live off of movie and toy licenses.
I think I've even seen these people managing the greeting cards section, which wouldn't be all that different from managing comics.
So is anyone reading this "Saga" thing I read about on CNN this morning? Some fanboy was wetting himself over it...I'm skeptical, but the art does look fantastic.

My problem with the Task Manager (TM) is that it lost all the heading tabs. This download was not meant to fix that, as it opened the TM but the problem remained. Any ideas.John
Not effective, does enable taskManager but the virus disables it again in seconds

dit not fix my abnormal task manager window delay but it did not generate any further problems. I worked around my problem logging into winxp as another user
Thanks for such a wonderful program. it is easy yet very effective, am still trying it on more computers whose task manager is disabled. will update you on its performance otherwise so far so good.
My download did not succeed because it did not help resolve my problem which is to retreive the Task Manager that I lost on my laptop. Can you advise what are the steps needed to restore it?Thank you.
This is not worth the HD space waisted. All it did was find the entries but you need to buy the product to see if it actually fixes your errors.

Stars Glam Up Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue
Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, Anne Hathaway, and James Franco grace the cover of Vanity Fair's 17th annual Hollywood Issue.
For the special issue, the magazine "went back to the basics – no teenagers, no penguins, no (full-on) nudity, just the most exciting actors and actresses of the moment."
The three-panel foldout, which was shot in L.A. and NYC, also features Jennifer Lawrence, Anthony Mackie, Olivia Wilde, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedlund, Noomi Rapace, and Robert Duvall.
"We wanted to evoke the glamour of 1930s Shanghai, an era of smoky, alluring elegance," said VF fashion and style director Jessica Diehl. "We had the gentlemen looking dashing in black tie, whilst the ladies were radiant in spring's gowns – from Gucci to Yves Saint Laurent – and glittering with diamonds from Chanel and other arbiters of glamour."
WHAT DO YOU think of Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue?

Are you on the hunt for some easy Pumpkin recipes? Learn how to make pumpkin soup, pumpkin ice cream and even pumpkin enchiladas. You can use these pumpkin recipes for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving dinner or if you just want to make something special in the Fall when pumpkins are easier to find.
Pumpkin Soup Recipe
- 1 Onion (chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 Cups vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 Cups cream
Cook onion, garlic, curry, and butter in a large saucepan on medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin, nutmeg, and bay leaf. Add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer 10-15 minutes, uncovered. Add cream and cook for 5-10 minutes more over low heat, until thick and bubbly.
Pumpkin Ice Cream
- 2 Quarts of softened vanilla ice cream of your favorite brand
- 1 30-oz. Can pumpkin puree
- 1 Package of your favorite cookie topping
Stir together the ice cream and pumpkin until it is well blended. Freeze for about 2 hours. Beat mixture with a mixer for 30 seconds to one minute. Freeze again until firm. Serve, topped with crushed cookies.
Pumpkin Enchiladas
- 1 Thinly sliced onion
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 Cups cooked, diced chicken
- 1/2 Cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 Cup heavy cream
- 1/2 Cup chicken broth
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/8 tsp. each of salt and pepper
- 8 Tortillas
- 1 Cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1/4 Cup diced green onions
Preheat your oven to 425°. Saute onions and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add chicken and stir well. Remove from heat. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the pumpkin, cream, broth, and remaining spices. Dish chicken mixture onto each tortilla, rolling them tightly. Put them seam side down in a medium baking dish. When all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the pumpkin sauce over them, spreading it to cover each enchilada. Sprinkle it with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese begins to brown. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
Pumpkin Rolls
- (1) 8-oz package of refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/3 Cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 Cup pecans, chopped
Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them so you have 8 triangles. Spread pumpkin puree along the top of each triangle. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans. Beginning at the base of the triangle, roll the crescent up to the point. Pinch the point into the roll so that it will stay rolled up. Place each crescent roll on the cookie sheet with the point on the bottom. Cook for 12-13 minutes, until slightly brown.
Pumpkin Roast
- 1 Small to medium pumpkin
- Salt
- Paprika or Chili powder
- 1/4 Cup orange juice
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Sour cream
Preheat your oven to 400°. Wash your pumpkin with soap and water so you do not get any dirt in your dish. Start to cut up the pumpkin so you will end up with moon-shaped slices, 2″ thick. An easy way to cut your pumpkin is to cut it in half, quarters, eighths, etc.
Scoop the seeds out with a spoon and sit them aside – you can roast the pumpkin seeds later for a snack. Put the slices on a baking tray. Sprinkle each slice with salt and paprika or chili powder. Drizzle orange juice, oil, and vinegar over each slice. Cover the entire dish with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 30 more minutes. Serve warm topped with sour cream.

Here's the promo copy from Mattel:
Good grief.Designed by: Robert BestRelease Date: 11/15/2012Product Code: W3515She's a glamazon from the Amazon, a Latin bombshell as hot and steamy as Rio. This tutti fruitti beauty celebrates the vibrant rhythms of Brazil: the sultry samba, the bossa nova. And while performing in her tropical wonderland, the perfect, jazzy fashion fantasy is festooned with brilliant yellow bananas!
Bob Mackie draws inspiration from a South American paradise. Brazilian Banana Bonanza™ Barbie® wears an exuberant, white-and-lime striped sarong. The dramatic skirt is edged with a bounty of "bananas." Her basket headpiece holds "fruit" and hibiscus "blossoms." Lace up platform sandals and colorful earrings and bangles complete her look. The final pièce de résistance is her favorite companion— an exotic "feathered" friend.
BTW It's spelled tutti frutti, not tutti fruitti.

took mine out twice so far, 9meter, once underpowered just to fly it and once powered, 22-25kts
I'm 125#.
This kite backstalls bad when unhooked! you must fully pull in the depower strap or it will fall,
also it requires more wind than a 9 should, its more like a 7/8.
it is really quick in loops and fast in general, but other than that I'm not impressed.
I may keep it as a high wind kite, we'll see how it does in high 20's to low 30's which is when I would go to my 6 anyway.
anyone else have an unbiased opinion of this or any other size 08 Yarga?

Kiteboard Racing North American Championships
St. Francis Yacht Club
San Francisco, CA USA
June 7th, 2013
by Eric W. Due
The Kiteboard Racing North American Championships rocked the entire spectrum of sportsmanship and media coverage for racers and spectators alike this week. Today the finals for the series went off with blue skies on the bay and a dramatic fog line flowing over the Golden Gate Bridge. The San Francisco Bay delivered perfect winds and conditions for the final races here at Crissy Field and the St. Francis Yacht Club.
The final day of racing was split into the Silver, Gold, and Platinum fleets. The Silver fleet contained thirty seven racers vying for the Silver podium. Andrew Wong from Canada pulled out some stellar racing to take top of the podium for the Silver fleet. Nico Landauer of Uruguay gave a great battle for second with local Kevin Growney of San Francisco taking third. The battle was tight as Nico and Kevin tied for points and the person with the best score in the last heat gets the tie breaker.
The Gold Fleet was split today into the Gold and Platinum fleets. Platinum riders are the top ten riders of the event at the end of the third day with the Gold Fleet riders battling for the remaining positions. What a battle it turned out to be! Wilson Veloso from Paraiba, Brasil, came out strong. His initial points lead from the prior days put him solidly in eleventh overall (separation point from Platinum). The Gold Fleet races proved to be off the charts competitive as Jhon Mora from West Bay, Grand Cayman, came out and jammed the fleet with two firsts for the day in the Gold fleet. This put him fourteenth overall, tying with Stefano Rista from Canada for thirteenth. That is how close the racing has been all week. Mora and Rista both tied in point's scores with Rista taking thirteenth due to a better last race. Second in the Gold Fleet races today was clinched by Alejandro Climent Hernandez from Valencia, Spain, putting him twelfth overall.
Erika Heineken from San Francisco powered into the final day by being the only woman in the Gold Fleet. Her power and speed on the water places her twenty ninth overall, clinching the title for the women's fleet. Nuria Goma from Barcelona, Spain, takes second. Catherine Dufour from Quebec Canada battled with Goma the whole way, separated by only five points to take third overall.
The Platinum Fleet. The top ten kite racers in the world lined up to hash out who was going to be the Kiteboard Course Racing North American Champion. The talent and athleticism of these racers means they blasted off the start line on all four heats. These racers are fast and close. This is like watching formula one auto racing wheel to wheel. Fast, close, and filled with heated competition. Johnny Heineken and Bryan Lake went into the finals both with the possibility of clinching the overall win based on points. Heineken made several mistakes but recovered to take the Platinum Bullet in each of the four heats. Lake was right on his heals making sure Heineken felt the pressure. Lake kept the pressure on for all four heats battling it out with Riccardo Andrea Leccese from Columbia. Lake and Leccese swapped out second and third for all four heats. Lake came into the Platinum Fleet with a few less points, clinching second overall, Leccese taking third. The rest of the Platinum fleet played out as Brian Kender, Adam Koch, Blazej Ozog, Joey Pasquali, Tomek Janiak, Sky Solbach, and Tybur Reed finishing out the series in that order.
The media coverage and professionalism of the entire event has been top notch. Jamy Donaldson has been providing a live feed during the entire event on LiveStream.com. Michael Petrikov has taken amazing photos all week, along with so many others. The St. Francis Yacht Club Race Office, headed by Robbie Dean, has covered all the bases and kept the racing flowing with all the heats and racers. Jessica Barhydt deftly and quickly organizing and posting results. John Craig from America's Cup acting as Principal Race Officer continues to provide invaluable leadership.
We thank all the sponsors including RRD, Live2Kite, UltraNectar, Wind Over Water, Patagonia, friends, family, and all donators of time and effort. The St. Francis Yacht Club supports and promotes this sport and all sailing like no other. Every racer, participant, volunteer, and associated individual has built this event and the kiting community into one of the best world class competitions.
Thank you all.

Python is a general purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, if you are just beginning your programming career python suits you best.
What is Objective-C?
Objective-C is a superset of the C programming language and provides object-oriented capabilities and a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods. It also adds language-level support for object graph management and object literals while providing dynamic typing and binding, deferring many responsibilities until runtime.
What is Elixir?
Elixir leverages the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed and fault-tolerant systems, while also being successfully used in web development and the embedded software domain.

Major Client Update For Elixir

Instacart uses Objective-C
Basically, the trajectory was we had our iOS app, which started out native, right? It started as a native app, and then we realized you have to go through a review process and it's slow, and at a very early stage, it made sense for us to make it a wrapped web view. Basically, the app would open, and it would be a web view inside of it that we could iterate on quickly and change very rapidly and not have to wait for app store view process to change it. It wasn't totally a native experience, but it was as actually a pretty good experience and lasted for a very long time and was up until recently the foundation of our current mobile web experience, which is different from our app situation. So for a long time, basically, our app store iOS Instacart app was a wrapped web view of just our store, a condensed version of our store, which meant that we could add things. We could change sales. We could change the formatting. We could change the UI really fast and not have to worry about the app store review process.
This all changed about a year ago, I would like to say, at which point it became a totally native app. We felt comfortable enough with the product and all the features that we made it a native experience and made it a fully featured app.
Exchange rates API uses Python
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
ttandon uses Python
Backend server for analysis of image samples from iPhone microscope lens. Chose this because of familiarity. The number one thing that I've learned at hackathons is that work exclusively with what you're 100% comfortable with. I use Python extensively at my day job at Wit.ai, so it was the obvious choice for the bulk of my coding.
papaver uses Python
been a pythoner for around 7 years, maybe longer. quite adept at it, and love using the higher constructs like decorators. was my goto scripting language until i fell in love with clojure. python's also the goto for most vfx studios and great for the machine learning. numpy and pyqt for the win.
Refractal uses Objective-C
While the majority of our stack is now using Swift, we still love Objective-C in many cases, especially low-level software manipulation, where it's just easier. It doesn't hurt that a lot of iOS/OS X Libraries out there are written in it either.
SmartLogic uses Objective-C
We like to go native with iOS development, and Objective-C has been the only game in town until recent introduction of Swift. We're keeping an eye on Swift, but we aren't giving up on the [old way:to do:things]!
Blood Bot uses Python
Large swaths of resources built for python to achieve natural language processing. (We are in the process of deprecating the services written in python and porting them over to Javascript and node)
cudanor uses Python
I am using python to write the scripts that should run at the Future Gateway. The regression models that does the machine learning training and prediction for the application is written in python.
Provide Booking uses Elixir
Huge boon to productivity when coupled with Phoenix. Moreover, it has made background jobs and all the unseen aspects of a business easily abstracted.

PrometheanTV provides SDKs for IOS devices including support for the Objective-C language.
Walter uses Elixir
Knowledge collection, collation, and enrichment. Business logic.

In the corner of a drab Culver City business park, nestled inside a gray two-story building, treasures from the Cold War lie waiting for the historically curious:
Hungarian oil paintings, a full run of East Germany's official party newspaper and a Vladimir Lenin bust, vandalized with pink and turquoise paint to resemble a clown. Outside, 2.6 tons of the Berlin Wall greets those who enter.
It's all there, if you can find it.
"I think the Wende Museum is one of Culver City's best kept secrets," Councilman Jim Clarke said.
But times may be about to change. To accommodate a growing interest and collection, the museum has been negotiating to lease Culver City's closed National Guard Armory — just a stroll from downtown's restaurant hub.
Three years ago, the decade-old museum joined with street artists to assemble a synthetic wall across Wilshire Boulevard, and then invited Angelenos to tear it down. That event — marking the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's demise — brought media attention and broadened the museum's fan base to more than a constituency of professors, graduate students and historians, Wende Executive Director Justinian Jampol said.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -. Tennessee Tech volleyball coach John Blair
has announced the addition of a new player to the Golden Eagle
roster, as graduate student Alysson Sanders has joined the team in
time to compete during the 2008 season.
Sanders played three seasons at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., before graduating. She has one season of eligibility remaining.
"We're fortunate to be getting a player of Alysson's caliber and experience," Blair said. "She will immediately strengthen our team and provide even stronger depth."
Sanders is currently a graduate student at Tech after receiving her B.S. in Exercise Science at Liberty. She played three years on the Liberty volleyball team under coach Shane Pinder.
As a senior for the Flames, she helped Liberty post a 27-9 record in 2007. She played in 34 of the team's 36 matches and averaged 2.02 kills and 1.26 digs per game while playing in the front row. She had 22 total blocks and 16 service aces while posting a .193 hitting percentage.
While at Tech she will also serve as a graduate assistant in the strength and conditioning office under head coach Chip Pugh. Sanders is working toward her M.S. in Kinesiology.
The Golden Eagles begin their season this weekend when they play Marshall Friday night for their first of three matches at the Cincinnati Bearcat Invitational.

Pick of the Day: Robson's Exteme Fishing Challenge, Channel 5
ANGLING: Robson's Exteme Fishing Challenge, 8pm, Channel 5
Oil money might have changed much of the United Arab Emirates and Oman but, looking a little closer, Robson Green (right) finds a culture that still takes its fishing seriously.
His first challenge takes place in 45-degree heat but his opponent, Mohammed Al Shaali, takes little notice as he is too busy catching the giants of the gulf.
They are fishing next to huge oil rigs that can extract thousands of barrels of oil every day. The goal is to catch the prized king mackerel and the man with the most valuable catch wins.

One of the traditional day after thanksgiving meals in the Flannery house is always Turkey Divan.
Here is my version…
Turkey Divan
1 Bunch Broccoli, cut into spears, stem skinned and sliced
Roast Turkey, Sliced
Mornay Sauce*
METHOD: Preheat oven to 350F. Blanch or steam Broccoli and stem slices until nearly cooked. Line roasting pan with spears and stem pieces. Place roast turkey in the middle and cover with mornay sauce. Heat in oven until turkey is heated through. Serve with leftover dressing or mashed potatoes.
I know you can buy Mornay Sauce in packets, but it's really one of those things you should know how to make, forms the basis of so many American classic casseroles, like Mac & Cheese and Turkey Tetrazzini.
*Mornay Sauce
1 Cup Milk (warmed)
1 Cup Turkey Stock (warmed)
2 Tablespoons Butter
2+ Tablespoons Flour
1 Cup Shredded Cheese
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
1 Bay Leaf
METHOD: Melt butter in small sauce pan. Whisk in flour to form stiff roux and cook over low heat until the flour is toasted smelling. Remove from heat. Whisk in Turkey Stock and Milk. Return to heat and warm quickly to a near simmer. When thick enough to coat the back of spoon, reduce heat. Stir in cheese and spices, adjusting salt level. Remove from heat and keep warm.

HODGKINS – Officials in the village of Hodgkins confirmed Wednesday that Eric Rice, supervisor of the Department of Public Works, has resigned following an investigation that showed he misused village funds.
The Village Board met Monday to discuss Rice's termination, and a majority of trustees reccommended his termination, according to village attorneys Tim Callahan and John O'Connell.
An investigation by the village found that Rice used village funds in the amount of $3,261.32 for personal purchases made with a village issued credit card. The purchases included a set of tires for a personal truck and the purchase of mulch for a private business, according to O'Connell.
The village wasn't prepared to release a complete list of the purchases at this time, saying their investigation is ongoing.
Eric Rice met with Village President Noel B. Cummings on Tuesday and handed in his resignation prior to his termination, according to Callahan. Rice has also repaid the total of the misspent funds to the village, according to village officials.
An investigation was begun by the village in June after the village clerk noticed irregularities in an invoice issued by Rice, according to Callahan. The clerk brought the information to the attention of Trustee Paul Struve, who serves as liaison of the Public Works Committee. An investigation into the misuse of funds in the last two years by Rice was led by Callahan and Trustee Phillip H. Kringlie.
Rice has been employed by the village for 20 years, according to Callahan. The village does not currently plan to broaden its investigation to look into the potential misuse of village funds for the first 18 years of his employment, Callahan said.
Village officials also said they had no plans to launch a criminal investigation into Rice's misuse of village funds. According to O'Connell, the Village Board decided not to pursue legal action because Rice resigned, the amount of funds misused was "a small amount of money" and when confronted, Rice was remorseful.
"He's already been deprived of his livelihood, we think that's enough," O'Connell said.
Rice's father, Larry Rice, currently serves on the Village Board. According to O'Connell, Larry Rice was present at an executive session of the board on Monday night to discuss Eric Rice's termination, but did not make any comments during the meeting.
"Larry Rice never made any statements to sway the board or the president," O'Connell said of Larry Rice's involvement at the meeting.
According to the village, its full investigation will be complete by July 9.

text: Calf Prices Higher, Yearling Feeders Lower February 14, 2014 09:51 AM Tweet © Wyatt Bechtel TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Greg Henderson Drovers Editorial Director Email Heavy steer and heifer calves sold steady to $5 per cwt. higher this week, while yearling feeder cattle over 800 pounds were steady to $2 lower. Lower feeder steer prices were most apparent on the Southern Plains as farmer-feeders in the Northern Plains kept prices steady. "Yearling heifers over 700 lbs were unevenly steady with feeder heifers wanting to be lower, but unprecedented demand for replacement quality heifers in the auction markets aided the feeder heifer market," says USDA Market News reporter Corbitt Wall. "Nebraska and other northern states have mostly secured their replacement heifers (many reportedly for export), but in Kansas, Missouri and states southward, producers are looking for top quality females to grow through the spring and then turn in with the bulls." The calendar still says winter, but Wall says stocker operators are already thinking spring. "Despite the frozen tundra that prevails throughout much of the major cattle production areas, stocker demand was very good this week. Backgrounders are expecting grass cattle supplies to be especially tight over the next several weeks. Record prices brought many calves to town early this year, plus fewer cattle growers dry wintered stockers due to the high prices and the bitterly cold temperatures." Cash fed cattle traded $1 higher at $142 per cwt. in a limited trade. Slaughter cows and bulls sold $2 to $4 higher. USDA's Cutter cow carcass cut-out value Friday morning was $181.70, up $6.27 from last Friday. Back to news
