US mulls outlawing rival product bans using standards patents
Congress probes essential designs used to win injunctions
The US Congress is holding a hearing today to consider whether companies that own standards-essential patents (SEP) should be allowed to use them to get sales and import bans on their rivals' products.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is meeting to hear from the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice on whether firms can wield SEP over their rivals in patent battles, an issue which could have a big impact on firms like Samsung and Motorola Mobility.
Firms like Microsoft and Apple have been whinging to lawmakers about the use of SEP in patent litigation, as Microsoft faces a ban on its Xbox 360 from an essential patent for video brought by Motorola Mobility and Apple's many lawsuits face counter suits over SEP from the likes of Samsung.
The committee will be hearing about the antitrust implications of granting sales bans based on SEP and its witness list includes FTC commissioner Edith Ramirez and acting assistant AG of the DoJ Joseph Wayland.
The FTC has already made its position clear by filing the case of Motorola v Microsoft with the International Trade Commission, which has the power to impose the bans, while urging the ITC not to issue an injunction.
The FTC said it was concerned that companies were trying to use the threat of a sales ban to force others who wanted to use the standard to pay higher royalty fees. That would of course be directly against the point of SEP, which is supposed to be licensed on a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) basis so that everyone's kit can be interoperable and on the same standard.
"Incorporating patented technologies into standards has the potential to distort competition by enabling SEP owners to negotiate high royalty rates and other favourable terms, after a standard is adopted, that they could not credibly demand beforehand," the FTC said in its filing.
Meanwhile, the UN's telecommunications arm, the ITU, is holding a roundtable on the issue in October.
SEP owners like Motorola have argued that the bans are a necessary threat for firms that refuse to pay licensing fees.
If rules against using SEP to get sales bans were introduced, it could have a big impact on the Apple v Android manufacturer cases, as many of these are from the old guard of mobile firms and rely on SEP to fight back.
However, even if bans aren't allowed, SEP owners could still use legal means to prove infringement, which could win them damages and/or force the infringing firm to pay royalties. ®

Remember the Wisconsin recall efforts, in which angry voters on both sides of the aisle sought to punish state lawmakers for their roles in Gov. Scott Walker's controversial move to end collective bargaining and other union rights?
On Tuesday, voters in a handful of districts can finally weigh in on those lawmakers targeted in the recalls. It's possible – but unlikely – that the elections could even change the power dynamic in the state Senate, if Democrats were to gain the three seats they need to take control.
The recall elections will gauge the political pulse in a highly divided state that is likely to be a pivotal swing state in the 2012 presidential contest.
"This is the first real electoral test of the staying power of the [collective bargaining] issue," says Jeff Mayers, president of Wispolitics.com, a nonpartisan political website in Madison. "Does it have electoral legs – that's what everyone is watching to see."
But don't look for answers right away.
Tuesday's vote is just the first of four elections that will take place over the next month, in a complex series of primaries and general elections that is sending voters to the polls at an odd time of year.
To understand it all, it helps to think of the votes not as recalls but as special elections, in which lawmakers are being forced to defend their seats ahead of schedule. The six Republican senators being challenged – by Democrats angry over their roles in Governor Walker's legislation – would have had to face reelection Tuesday, but state Republicans helped buy them some more time by putting up Republican candidates as Democrats ("protest candidates," according to the GOP; "fake Democrats," according to the Democrats) so as to force a Democratic primary and buy GOP legislators another month.
"If there weren't primaries in these races, our Republican senators would have had to face elections just days after voting on the state budget, essentially giving them no time to campaign," Stephan Thompson, executive director of the Wisconsin Republican Party, told Fox News.
The actual general election will be held a month later, on Aug 9.
Next Tuesday, meanwhile, three Democratic senators will have to defend themselves. They are among those who fled the state in a bid to prevent a vote on the governor's budget plan. Though Democrats haven't put up protest candidates, two of those elections also have multiple GOP challengers, and so will hold a primary next week rather than a general election, and the general election will take place Aug. 16.
If the procedures seem somewhat arcane, many observers are nonetheless looking at these elections for insight into the mood of the electorate in Wisconsin, which more than any other state has symbolized the angry partisan divide around union politics, in particular.
"A referendum on the governor's policies and on GOP policies of the spring is really what this is about," says Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Recent polls show Walker's approval ratings hovering below 10 percent for Democrats and in the high 80s for Republicans – a gap of nearly 80 points, and the biggest disparity of any governor in the country in polls this year. At the same time, the percentage of voters saying they don't have an opinion is just 3 percent, the lowest in the country.
Voters are "both incredibly polarized and very highly opinionated," says Professor Franklin. "And that's a recipe for stalemate."
So what should people watch for Tuesday, and in the three other elections over the next couple months? Turnout, for one thing.
Wisconsin's Supreme Court election in April – which was largely a proxy referendum on how voters felt about Walker and his policies – was notable both for being a near-tie and for generating twice the turnout expected for that sort of election.
Tuesday's election is a primary election for a legislative seat without a "real" primary opponent, held at an odd time of year – an unprecedented scenario that makes turnout impossible to predict. But expect pundits to weigh in quickly on what the numbers say about how well organized Democrats are in getting voters to the polls.
Few people expect the balance of power to shift in the state Senate. Most of the Republicans who are defending their seats were elected in 2008 (recall rules stipulate that a politician must be in office for at least a year before facing a recall vote, making Walker and senators elected in 2010 immune), a year that favored Democrats, and as a result they are relatively strong politicians in solidly Republican districts.
Two of them – Sens. Randy Hopper and Dan Kapanke – are considered the most vulnerable. Senator Kapanke's district has been getting steadily more Democratic, and Senator Hopper has been dealing with a messy, public divorce in the past few months.
It's unclear if any of the other Republicans might lose, but in such strange elections, anything could happen. "After Kapanke and Hopper, it doesn't appear so easy for the Democrats, but these are local special elections in the middle of summer," says Mr. Mayers. "There's no precedent for them, and polling is not always reliable."
Meanwhile, three Democratic senators face elections of their own next Tuesday. At least one, Sen. Jim Holperin, is vulnerable.
"Both parties have been talking a good game – on the Democratic side about how they're going to take back the Senate, and on Republican side that they're going to gain a seat or two," says Franklin. "Both of these seem to me to be huge spin."
If, in fact, the whole recall effort ends with the status quo unchanged, it may be viewed as a defeat for Democrats and their union allies.
"If the Democrats don't win at least a couple of these seats, then there will be a lot of second-guessing," says Mayers. "This is a party-endorsed strategy to flip the Senate. If they fail to advance on that goal, then they'll have to answer to that."
If Democrats do get closer, even if they don't gain three seats, it may energize efforts to launch a recall effort against Walker next year, once he's eligible, and could also be viewed positively by those focusing on the presidential election and other legislative seats next November.
"We're in an election cycle that's never ended," says Mayers. "This is all leading down to November 2012."

Atlanta, Ga., Jun 14, 2012 / 04:35 pm ().- The Catholic Church in the U.S. has made significant improvements in preventing and addressing clergy sexual abuse and should continue its work to increase transparency, trust and accountability, according to a new report.
Al Notzon III, chair of the National Review Board that has helped advise the U.S. bishops on clergy sex abuse, said that there has been "striking improvement" and "children are safer now" than they were several years ago. However, there is still work to do in order to "protect children and restore trust," he said.
Notzon spoke to the U.S. bishops gathered at their spring meeting in Atlanta, Ga. on June 13.
He delivered a 10 year progress report on the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, which was adopted by the bishops in Dallas in 2002 as part of their response to the sexual abuse scandal.
He also offered recommendations based on a recent study conducted by the independent research institution John Jay College of Criminal Justice, entitled "The Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010."
The Church has taken "serious steps towards understanding and reducing" sexual abuse of minors by priests, Notzon said.
He noted that there has been a steady decline in new cases of abuse and that all 195 U.S. dioceses and eparchies now have policies and procedures in place to prevent and handle abuse, as well as a Victim Assistance Coordinator to help in responding to allegations.
Dioceses across the country have instituted review boards comprised of both laity and clergy to advise on alleged abuse cases and are actively cooperating with legal authorities when such accusations arise, he said.
Additionally, confidentiality agreements have been abolished, except when requested by victims.
Efforts have also been made to offer pastoral assistance to victims, and written codes of conduct have been implemented for clergy and other adults who work around children, Notzon added.
Despite these significant improvements, dioceses must continue working to restore trust, he said, emphasizing that the work "is not finished and may never be."
"We must never let our guard down," he stated, cautioning against "complacency" or reduced vigilance.
He offered recommendations for the future based on the independently-conducted "causes and context" study, which he observed may be useful for other organizations, since child sexual abuse is a problem in the broader community and not just the Catholic Church.
Education is one important factor in working to improve the protection of young people in the U.S., said Notzon.
He encouraged dioceses to train "all segments of parish life," including diocesan personnel, parents, children and school staff members.
Notzon also stressed the need for situational prevention. He encouraged bishops to measure, monitor and report on the effectiveness of safe environment programs in their dioceses, as well as to develop a system of clergy evaluations.
Bishops should maintain regular personal contact with priests and should work to address their need to develop fraternal bonds through small clergy faith groups, he said.
Notzon also recommended developing programs to help international priests adjust, because certain behaviors may be culturally acceptable in one country but not in another.
In addition to continuing work to respond promptly to allegations, relieve offenders, comply with civil law and reach out to victims, adopting these recommendations will help "ensure confidence and transparency," Notzon said.

Girls is rarely better than it is when it's forcing Hannah to poke her head out of her own little world and realize there are other people all around her, and if nothing else, "I Get Ideas" is a constant stream of scenes where Hannah has to bump up against the fact that she doesn't know everything, whether that's Elijah and Marnie trying to figure out how to protect Hannah from finding out they had sex, or Marnie trying to find a way to diplomatically tell Hannah she's not pretty enough to get a job at the club Marnie gets a job at, where the rich, older gentlemen would prefer all servers to have a certain willowy, statuesque build. I'm pretty sure everybody has that friend who just doesn't take the truth very well, who shies away from being confronted with their own faults. Hell, we've all been that friend at one time or another. In the first two episodes of this season of Girls, Hannah has become that person to her friends. She's someone they need to carry across the eggshells as delicately as possible.
Sandy, the new guy Hannah's sleeping with, has no such compunctions. He's only known her for a short while, and he's got no problem telling her that her essay is well-written but doesn't really have anything going on in it. (In some ways, Sandy sounds like some of Girls' harshest critics back in the early going of season one.) Hannah, of course, reacts poorly to being given some honest feedback, because she's at that place all young writers are when they're in their 20s—pretty sure they're hot shit and not ready to hear anybody who would disagree. (Everybody else loved it, she says.) Hannah spins the whole thing into a really awkward discussion of first Sandy's politics and then his race, which she pretends not to have noticed. To paraphrase the famous campaign for The Real World, the characters on this show are pretty great at being polite, but they're lousy at getting real.
"I Get Ideas" is a more confident half-hour than last week's episode, and it speaks well to the way that the show has broadened its ensemble across its first 11 episodes. In the early going of season one, viewers who didn't like Hannah all that much would be forgiven for wondering if the show was just going to eternally exist within her self-obsessed viewpoint. But little by little, the show crept out of that viewpoint throughout the first season, and now, it's in a place where it feels just as natural to open with a lengthy—and hilarious—argument between Elijah and George as it would have felt back then to open on Hannah doing something or other. (Hannah, who's being argued about, doesn't even realize it because she's trying—poorly—to copy the exercise moves in some video.) That expansion of the show's world allows it to breathe a little bit, to not feel so claustrophobic.
In many cases, expanding the world of a half-hour show can cause things to break down, but in the early going of this season I think it's been a good thing for Girls. Yeah, some of last week's episode seemed a bit herky-jerky, as it tried to catch up with everybody who'd ever been on the show at any point in time, but since then, the show has nicely mixed and matched all of its different spheres. Marnie gets the phone number that leads to her new job from Shoshanna (who's just cuddling with Ray while talking about summer camp, which is exactly what I'd always imagined Shoshanna's pillow talk to be like). Hannah just drops in on Thomas John and Jessa, then has some awkward conversation with them. Sandy and Hannah are doing well, until they're not, and then everything falls apart. Adam's heartbreak hangs over everything else, until he takes several steps too far. Everything has a nicely confident flow and rhythm to it, and the characters all feel like their own selves, instead of just extensions of each other.
As mentioned, "I Get Ideas" exists primarily to push the show's two main characters in very different directions, mostly via a world that reveals how little it cares about them. Marnie is told by a prospective employer that, really, she doesn't see Marnie in the art world at all, while Hannah gets that good advice she instead chooses to ignore. There's been plenty said about how Girls is a show that's rather blithe about privilege, in that the characters don't realize how thoroughly their comfortable upbringings color everything they do or say. And while that's absolutely true of the characters, it's not necessarily true of the show itself, which is constantly vigilant about how little the characters are able to see past their own blinders.
This is just a case in point: Hannah and Marnie have spent their whole lives essentially having everything they've wanted handed to them. This is not to say they haven't had hard times or haven't had to struggle, but the level of struggle is miniscule, in the grand scope of things. Now that they're struggling to have the careers they've always dreamed of, they're slowly realizing that, hey, people don't just descend from on high and tell you you're a great writer or you'll fit right in in the art world. These are both professions that are contracting, professions that require a certain amount of persistence and diligence. But because of their comfortable existences prior to this point, both Marnie and Hannah aren't sure what to do when somebody calls them out on how their dreams just might be impossible. You don't get to be a famous writer just because you want to be one. It requires hard work, and Hannah seems to only glancingly understand this at this point.
Yet persistence isn't always a good thing. The final section of the episode is once again given over to the tortured relationship between Hannah and Adam, who seems completely unable to deal with the fact that his relationship with Hannah fell apart. One of the best things about the first season was the way that Adam's weirdness and awkwardness gradually peeled away to reveal just how emotionally bruised and sensitive he was at his core, and I've seen some critics complain that his reversion here feels like a character reversal for no real reason. And, yeah, the fact that he shows up at Hannah's apartment in the middle of the night and doesn't seem to understand why that's not cool feels slightly unbelievable. But I've been that guy—that guy who's hung up on a girl who's over him—and I've been in that place. And there's nothing more weird or awkward than that. The final scene makes what Hannah does—call 911 (even if only for a second)—feel totally justifiable, even as it forces you to realize just how lost Adam feels. That's what Lena Dunham (who directs) and Jenni Konner (who writes) do so well throughout "I Get Ideas"—they put these people in corners and show just how much their maturation process is a total bluff.
Stray observations:
- Hannah eats her Cool Whip straight out of the container with a spoon, which I can absolutely respect. In fact, that sounds really good, don't you think?
- George is rapidly becoming my favorite character in this whole thing, second only to Ray for how he can ramble on any topic at any given point in time. My favorite here was his diagnosis of Elijah as "bi" only because he's from Boulder Springs and that's just what he wants to tell his mother, Charlotte. "Fuck you, Charlotte! Who I've never met!"
- Ray, meanwhile, makes with the Shoshanna cuddling that somehow ends up talking about painting pigs. No, I don't know either, but it's weirdly adorable on both ends.
- Thomas John attempts to compliment Hannah, instead ends up in a conversation about who invented the shorterall. I get that he has to be isolated off in a storyline with Jessa by necessity, but I would very much enjoy if he shared more scenes with the other characters.
- For the record, Hannah, I have dated and been friends with many people who wanted to be writers, and I don't always get around to reading their stuff right away. Sometimes, you're just busy! (Also, I loved Jessa saying that, hey, Thomas John immediately looks at her paintings when she's done, which is totally the same as reading a whole essay.)
- I like that Hannah's understanding of "Republicanism" boils down to some very vague concepts about wanting to ban gay marriage and thinking people should just get to own guns. "It's more complicated than that," Sandy says. (He also affirms to Elijah, earlier in the episode, that it doesn't take two Republicans to make another Republican, just like it doesn't take two terrorists to make another terrorist. If this is it for Sandy, I'm going to miss him.)
- Maybe Sandy's the one who's been fetishizing Hannah! Maybe all of those white women he's slept with have just morphed into one giant blob that says stupid things! Something, something, Missy Elliott.
- Why didn't Hannah know that the Clinton administration was the one to repeal the Glass-Steagall act? "Just read a newspaper," Jessa says. "Read any newspaper."
- My life experiences and Hannah's don't have a whole lot of Venn diagram intersection, but I can definitely relate to her propensity for looking up YouTube instructional videos on how to do just about anything.

We only have three more of these left and by day's end, just one. Let's cherish our time down in the comments.
Baltimore at New England (CBS): If you'll recall, because I don't believe anyone has mentioned it yet, the Ravens went in to Foxboro two years ago and beat the Patriots in the wild card round. Two years in NFL years is like 45 in dog years, though. The Pats did not have Wes Welker for that game, nor did they have "Gronk" or Aaron Hernandez. This year? They'll just be without Ochocinco.
Meanwhile, the Ravens have to deal with the fragile psyche of Joe Flacco. Just kidding, he's fine. it's just, much to the consternation of those in the quarterback evaluating business, he's not Tom Brady. So, he still needs to prove he's a winner. Got that?
Anyway, this game figures to be might against might. Is the Patriots offense better than the Ravens defense? Or put another way, can the Patriots defense play not as terribly as everyone thinks?

In order to run my microbial community samples from my experiments through DGGE, I was required to use multiple gels.
Thus it is necessary to compare banding patterns across more than one gel. This means that I need some way of assessing whether the 4th band on gel #1 is the same OTU as the 4th band on gel #2.
The industry standard for this procedure seems to be the Gelcompar software. Unfortunately this software is greater than $10,000 and is proprietary (thus, not open science friendly).
Does there exist a free (ideally as in speech and beer) alternative to Gelcompar?

SPORTSDOC- Sickening: Nadal pulls off the unthinkable
I am nauseated. It's the second tiebreaker of the Wimbledon final, and I'm so sick to my stomach I can't breathe. For the first time in their Wimbledon history, Rafael Nadal is dominating Roger Federer, and my stomach is rolling as if I'd eaten tainted salmon.
Few sporting events affect me this way. Cubs' games often make me nauseated, but rarely to this extent. The Cubs live to lose another game. This is another story. Championship point. Eight– all in the tiebreaker. By the skin of his teeth, Federer pulls it out of the fire, tying the match at two sets all. I can't remember the last time I felt so sick.
It's not because I love Roger Federer, though I do. It's not because Rafael Nadal irritates me, though he does. They've lost and won against other players in other venues, and I've borne it. But
together they are the greatest rivalry in sports. (Why else would ESPN Classic rerun the match an hour after it finished?)
There are people who say the Cowboys and Redskins are sports' greatest rivals. Others cite the Yankees and the Red Sox. I can't agree. No team can produce sports' greatest rivals. Long-standing and intense rivalries perhaps, but nothing compared to one athlete versus another.
Teams live on long after players retire. The Yankees were still the Yankees after Ruth, and T. O. is but a blip in Cowboy history. In team sports, many shoulders bear a single burden. As quickly as one player disappoints, another provides redemption.
In tennis there's no closer to clean up the mess, no draft pick to provide relief. A tennis player wins or loses alone and when it's over, leaves no dynasty.
Sports' greatest rivals are battling on new ground. Somehow, after losing the first two sets to Nadal, Federer forced the match to five sets. On any other court, against any other player, my stomach may not be churning, but this is Wimbledon. This is grass. Against Nadal. This isn't supposed to be happening.
Nadal, the supercharged Spaniard, is imminently (and eminently) suitable for the slow clay of Roland Garros. It's no big deal if he defeats Federer there because Federer owns the grass. It's so rare to dominate on both surfaces that no man has won the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back since Bjorn Borg in 1980.
Big deal, some might think. Tennis is snotty and boring. The only good thing about it is Maria Sharapova in a short skirt. Why else watch a ball get hit back and forth? Give me a sport with some action, like NASCAR (a friend told me).
It's senseless to argue with someone for whom racing around an oval for half a day is the pinnacle of excitement.
I have faith, however, that other sports fans will understand the poignancy.
Imagine Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in a game of one-on-one, a biannual event, played once on parquet and once on asphalt. Imagine that for years, Bird always won on parquet while Johnson won on asphalt.
Can you picture it?
Imagine that after years of losing, Magic is up 12 points in a 21-game on parquet. Would your heart not be in your throat? Point by point, as Bird tied and then lost the game, wouldn't your stomach churn?
It's just two men and a ball, but how sick would you be watching the unthinkable play out before your eyes?
Ali-Frazier, Navratilova-Evert, Federer-Nadal: it's rare for one athlete to be inextricably linked with another. It only happens when two people are their sport, when they rise so far above the fray they have only each other.
After five straight Wimbledon titles, Federer fell to Nadal on Sunday. I was nauseated with Federer's fear. I saw it in his face, felt it in his weak returns. Is this it?
I doubt it. Rivalries are built as much on defeat as on triumph. The mantle must pass back and forth for a rivalry to survive, even in NASCAR.
But the greatest rivalry in sports– well, it's enough to make you sick.

Expensive Lenses, Poor Quality Control
I have just returned from a short business trip to Japan for several days and came across the Bic Camera shop and tested the DA 15 lens on my K-m hands-on myself.
The good news is that the DA 15 lens that I tested is actually not that bad in IQ as what the DPR found (and posted). I am almost certain that Pentax UK just sent the DPR a very bad copy, which I think Hoya/Pentax have always been so causal/careless but actually stupid each time when they sent DPR some gear to test.
The DA 15 I tested has good IQ wide opened. The corner sharpness is acceptable. There is no obvious vignetting as what we can see in the test review of the DPR.
As I have been thinking to acquire the DA 15 since it was announced, I decided to buy the lens shortly after my brief testing. Indeed, the lens is far cheaper than what I could get it in Hong Kong, at about US$600 at the Bic Camera (Vs $850 in Hong Kong - that price is just crazy for such a slow prime! $600 is not cheap neither IMO). The sales person got a new box for me and I shortly found a problem with the lens cap, which was just too obvious. The lens cap is a screw-in type (metal material which looks good and felt elegant but for practical use, it is just a joke). It was officially told that the PENTAX logo should stay upright when the cap is fully screwed in but unfortunately it was not so for that copy. It inclines at more than 10 degrees (approximately) to the left when looking from the lens front. So, I asked to get another copy.
So, the salesman got me another copy then. The logo position had no problem that time but more unfortunately, that copy seemed to have been mishandled and there was two small scratches on the glass elements which could be easily seen when I looked through the lens wide opened. Well, this may not be a Pentax factory problem though, anyway..
Since that shop has only two boxes of the DA 15, I went to another branch shop nearby. There was a new box sitting there and I felt happy and thought that I was lucky enough and I should be able to get it that time.
That one looks like never opened for the package and everything looked clean and brand new. But I found again the misaligned logo of the lens cap again. This time is less, I think in less than 5 degrees to the right when looking from the lens front - so comparing against the first one, the variation is at least 15 degrees. I still accepted that but then I shortly found two big dust particles *inside* this brand new lens (so was the salesman able to see them easily), which should be "included" out of the Pentax lens factory when it is "Assembled in Vietnam". As that was the only new copy at that shop, I gave up finally. After all of the above, I still could not buy the lens and I was upset.
I am really disappointed for the truly inferior and poor QC of Pentax and their Vietnam lens factory once again. I have never seen such problems for Canon lenses of higher grade which were and are made in Japan from my own experiences since I had my first Canon EF lens in 2007. And so did the better Pentax glass when they were made in Japan - I had never seen one bad copy amongst all the Pentax lenses I bought in the whole 80s and 90s. In early 2000s, the only bad copies of lenses which I encountered were those made in Taiwan (I exchanged my FA 24-90 for three times in 2001) and elsewhere which was unknown as the country of origin was intentionally not printed if it was not Made in Japan, for years for the Pentax goods sold in my country.
It seems that the main culprit of the inferior IQ of what the DPR found may also be caused by the poor QC of the Pentax lens factory as actually I found a big difference in IQ when I tested myself. Whilst I do now believe the optical design of the DA 15 should be good enough and is not really that bad, Pentax/Hoya has once lost the opportunity to earn the money of a "new" customer owing to their really inferior production QC. So, this is rather sad afterall.
As for the QC of the Pentax DSLR bodies at the Philippines, it is not good neither from my recent experience. Actually, my K-m Olive was chosen amongst five units at two different shops in Hong Kong, Except one was obviously scratched (which should not be a problem of the factory), the other three has different kinds of misalignment of the RTF closed position and the EV compensation button as well, which was found rotated in a large degree for one unit.
After all, I just wish to ask: WITHOUT better and up-to-standard QC in the Pentax land nowadays , will they survive longer? How can they compete??
P.S. The DPR tested the DA 15 on a K20D, I still do not reject the possibility of that the DA 15 is not working very well as on the K-m, which has a Sony sensor, and so does the K-7, which yet has the Samsung sensor (which has been reported by different users to be problematic).

Aging is a normal process the body goes through, but not all of the symptoms that are frequently attributed to the normal aging process should be directly connected to aging – some may be associated with other illnesses such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Symptoms like fatigue, depression, forgetfulness, and sleeplessness can often be easily attributed to "just getting old," yet, as is the case with many other illnesses, these symptoms may indicate another problem area that should be medically evaluated.
Thyroid disease increases with age (especially in woman over the age of 65); "approximately 15% of all patients diagnosed with hyperthyroidism are over the age 60." (MedicineNet.com). Even though this disease does affect those at younger ages (30-40), it is much more difficult to diagnose as we age.
Hypothyroidism and its' symptoms (as mentioned above) and hyperthyroidism and its' symptoms [irregular heart rhythms, congestive heart failure (CHF), weight loss, nervousness, and muscle weakness] are often overlooked in medical evaluations of the elderly and seen as normal in the aging process. However, due to the high incidents and prevalence of these diseases in our elderly, it is wise to carefully review with the physician the possibility of such illness being the cause of the above mentioned symptoms.
Knowledge is the key. Tests, such as T4 and T3U (or T3 Uptake), can be performed to help evaluate the presence of either hyper or hypothyroidism. Replacement hormone therapy (L-T4) is effective in hypothyroidism, whereas in hyperthyroidism (the over production of thyroid hormone) an antithyroid medication is often prescribed to reduce production of the thyroid hormone with sedatives and beta blockers utilized to treat the associated rapid heart rate and nervousness.
The issue here is that many elderly folks are never diagnosed properly as having hyper or hypothyroidism, but rather are told their symptoms are typical of anyone in their stage of the aging process. It requires both the family and the physician of the elder to carefully review the mishmash of symptoms that plague us as we age, sort out what is "normal" in the aging process and what might be associated with some other diagnosis (such as hypothyroidism).
Once a suspicion is dealt with, simple tests can determine if the suspicions are valid. Treatment is relatively benign, and in the case of hyperthyroidism, can often be normalized in three to six months with subsequent medication therapy less aggressive in nature.
Bottom Line: Don't simply assume that when a physician proclaims that you have an issue (i.e., high cholesterol) and you should begin to receive medication therapy to help reduce those cholesterol levels (given that diet and exercise did not lower the levels significantly), ask why the cholesterol is high to begin with – you may find that they are high due to hypothyroidism. Remember: knowledge is power!

This stuff is propaganda but figured it could make for some conversation.
Power Rankings: Giant blip aside, Patriots still the ones
By Pete Prisco
CBSSports.com Senior Writer
Updated May 20
I feel sorry for the New York Giants.
They are the defending Super Bowl champions. Their shiny new bling rings are coming this summer after capping off a magical playoff run with an upset victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, and yet they are getting little love heading into 2008.
Have Eli Manning and the Giants had their moment? (Getty Images)
Have Eli Manning and the Giants had their moment? (Getty Images)
You hear people actually say their victory was a fluke or lucky or not sustainable. Most so-called experts don't even list the Giants as the top NFC team right now when doing rankings, with that honor going to the Dallas Cowboys. Didn't the Giants go into Dallas and upset the Cowboys during their Super run? Did I miss something?
When I spoke to Cowboys coach Wade Phillips a few weeks ago, he pointed out that the Cowboys outgained the Giants and ran the ball for more yards, yet lost.
"We won almost everything except for the score," Phillips said. "You have games like that. The stats went our way, but they made the plays and won the game. We didn't play bad. We played a good game. We just didn't make the plays we had been making all season."
Phillips, by the way, was speaking to me at Tom Coughlin's charity golf tournament in Jacksonville, with Coughlin a short chip away.
No respect, none at all.
Coughlin still has a quality team and a quarterback who just might have punched his ticket to join the elite if that fourth-quarter performance in the Super Bowl is an indication of things to come.
Eli Manning, I think, arrived that day.
It's too bad he might be coming to a place already occupied by his brother, Peyton, and that model-loving quarterback he beat in the Super Bowl.
Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are the two reasons why New England and Indianapolis are ranked 1-2 in my latest CBSSports.com Power Rankings. Yes, ahead of the Giants.
If the Giants and Patriots played 10 times last February, I think the Patriots would have won seven of them. That's not to take away from what the Giants did, but the Patriots were the better team.
Just not that day.
Don't buy for a minute, though, the talk that the Boston Herald story about a possible taping of the Rams' walk-through before Super Bowl XXXVI, which ran the Friday before this year's Super Bowl, had any impact on the game. The Patriots are claiming it might have. That's absurd -- and they know it.
With Spygate now buried by the league, which clearly wants it to go away, the smug Bill Belichick is back. Did you see how arrogant he was in that interview with Armen Keteyian on the CBS Evening News?
It was a far cry from the woe-is-me Belichick we saw at the league meetings in March when he was peppered with questions about Spygate with the uncertainty of what Matt Walsh knew still to be determined.
With Walsh providing no new information, Belichick blasted away. You can bet he will try to use all of that as motivation for his team.
He doesn't really need it. The Patriots are the best team right now. And the Colts are the second-best team.
But I'm not going to put the Cowboys ahead of the Giants just yet. At least New England lost to the Giants on a neutral field. The Cowboys lost on their home field.
I'm not ready to pick the Giants to repeat, but it's not a stretch to say they're the best team in the NFC right now.
Too bad few others think that.
Power Rankings
Current Team Previous
1 Patriots · Trends 2
Is there any reason to think they won't be sitting here for most of the season? The Super hangover won't bother this group.
2 Colts · Trends 3
I was tempted to put them in the top spot, but Dwight Freeney's health is still a concern. They aren't far behind the Patriots.
3 Giants · Trends 1
How can you not have them as the top NFC team? Too many people are forgetting the tough path they took to the Super Bowl.
4 Cowboys · Trends 4
They have almost the same team back that had the best record in the NFC last year. The one issue they must handle is having Phillips looking over his shoulder at Jason Garrett.
5 Jaguars · Trends 5
This is a deep, talented team that has filled some big holes through the draft and free agency. If David Garrard can prove he's not a one-year wonder, they could be an elite team.
6 Chargers · Trends 7
Here's another loaded team. The main concern is the health of both Philip Rivers and LaDainian Tomlinson. Phillips proved in the AFC Championship Game loss to the Patriots that he's a tough guy, playing on a bad knee.
7 Steelers · Trends 8
Too many experts are counting this team out. The offensive line is an issue, but if that gets sorted out, the Steelers will win the division again. Sorry, Browns fans.
8 Eagles · Trends 10
Andy Reid is too good a coach for the Eagles to be a non-playoff team for another season. They will be the bounce-back team in 2008.
9 Seahawks · Trends 9
This is a tough team to gauge. Are they good or were they a product of a bad division last season? They do have to run the ball better.
10 Packers · Trends 6
I think Aaron Rodgers will be better than most people, which is why I still have the Packers in the top 10. This is a young, talented team with a good head coach.
11 Browns · Trends 17
They are the preseason chosen ones. A lot of experts think they're ready to take the division from the Steelers. Let's hold off on that.
12 Saints · Trends 15
It's all about the defense for the Saints. If adding Sedrick Ellis and Jonathan Vilma and others can help that side improve some, they can be a deep playoff team like in 2006.
13 Cardinals · Trends 12
Is this the year they break through and win the division? The talent is there, so it's all on Matt Leinart.
14 Titans · Trends 13
If Vince Young can take major steps throwing the football, the Titans have a chance to supplant the Jaguars as the second team in the division. If not, they might fall behind the Texans.
15 Buccaneers · Trends 11
Jon Gruden has a bunch of quarterbacks. But does he have the one? Jeff Garcia played well last season. Can he do it again at age 38?
16 Redskins · Trends 14
I'm a big believer that Jason Campbell can be a quality passer. Now that he has more receiving help, that time has come. New coach Jim Zorn will be a good thing for Campbell.
17 Bengals · Trends 16
First things first: Chad Johnson will be catching passes from Carson Palmer. No way he sits out. But is that enough to compensate for defensive issues?
18 Bills · Trends 18
They are a trendy pick as the "sleeper" team in 2008. If Trent Edwards is the real thing at quarterback that might not be far off.
19 Broncos · Trends 21
Jay Cutler struggled with diabetes last year, but now seems to have it under control. He should be better, which will help the offense. But they still have issues at too many positions.
20 Bears · Trends 19
Haven't we already heard all this talk about how they can be a good team if they get decent quarterback play? Rex Grossman, Act II.
21 Panthers · Trends 26
Where is Jake Delhomme in his battle back from elbow surgery? The coaching staff, which is under fire, better hope he's all the way back.
22 Rams · Trends 20
It's all about health for the Rams. If they can stay healthy, which they didn't last season, they could be a significantly better team than in 2007.
23 Texans · Trends 22
They might be better than they were a year ago, but not show it in their record. That's because they play in a brutal division
24 Vikings · Trends 23
They have the makings of a deep playoff team with one exception: quarterback. Do you believe in Tarvaris Jackson?
25 Ravens · Trends 27
Can Joe Flacco step in as a rookie and turn the passing game around? Or is that too soon, which means it's more of Kyle Boller again?
26 49ers · Trends 28
Quarterback, quarterback, quarterback. It's all about that spot with the 49ers. Is it Alex Smith or Shaun Hill?
27 Lions · Trends 25
So Jon Kitna is saying the Lions will win 10 games again. Whatever he's taking, it must be pretty damn good.
28 Raiders · Trends 31
They're a year away from being a contender in the AFC West, provided JaMarcus Russell is the real deal. This will be his learning year, and then he makes big strides in 2009.
29 Jets · Trends 29
They're raving about all the moves they made in the offseason. But it won't matter if the quarterback play is as bad as it's been.
30 Chiefs · Trends 24
The Chiefs are clearly in rebuilding mode. That's could give Herm Edwards a reprieve. He has to hope Brodie Croyle shows big improvement.
31 Falcons · Trends 30
New coach Mike Smith will watch his team take its lumps for a couple of seasons. He faces a big rebuilding process.
32 Dolphins · Trends 32
Who's the quarterback? Whenever you have issues at that position, it's pretty hard to climb up from the bottom. But the Dolphins won't be as bad as last season. Will they?

HD programs take up several times more storage space than standard definition programs, requiring users to constantly delete old shows to make more room for new ones. Shortage of storage also prevents the DVR's recommendation engine from suggesting new shows, limiting the use of a favorite consumer feature. WD's My Book AV DVR expander addresses these issues by providing users with up to 120 additional hours of HD storage for their TiVo, DirecTV, Dish Network and other compatible DVRs.
WD is a leading supplier of hard drives for the DVR set-top boxes offered by major cable, satellite and Internet Protocol Television service providers. These WD customers demand AV-grade drives, which are specifically engineered for recording and playback of programs on a 24-by-7 duty cycle. The drives also feature WD GreenPower Technology(TM) so they produce very little heat and are designed to handle today's cramped, gadget-rich entertainment centers. WD uses these same industry-proven drives in the WD My Book AV DVR expander to provide consumers with a reliable high-quality HD viewing experience, whether the drive is connected to a game console, Blu-ray Disc(TM) player, WD TV(R) media player or other media playback device(2). In addition, the WD My Book AV DVR expander enclosure is designed to isolate these AV drives from the shock and vibration that can occur in home entertainment environments.
"Millions of users love their TiVos and DVRs because they can watch their favorite TV shows whenever they want. The hard drives inside these devices simply don't have enough space to store all of consumers' favorite HD programs each week," said Dale Pistilli, vice president of marketing for WD's branded products group. "With our busy lives, it's easy to get behind on our favorite shows. WD's My Book AV DVR expander allows users to take back control of their DVR and keep more of their TV shows."
WD's My Book AV DVR expander also enables users to store and play back videos from 2010 or later Sony(R) HD Handycam(R) camcorders with the Direct Copy feature, giving consumers an easy way to offload, archive and enjoy their personal videos in one simple step without a PC.

MasterLine safety guard 'steel' no. KL20421640
MasterLine is the name given to a range of TÜV tested safety guards. These are usually mounted behind the rear seats, held against the back of the C pillar without the need to e.g. drill metal and fix attachments to the car. The pictures show a typical fixing system with the guard held in place with a thin steel plate hooked around the rear seat securing pins.
The purpose of MasterLine is to protect the passengers from items in the boot being flung forward in the event of an accident. This is a serious issue - a frozen chicken travelling forwards at 40mph may well be lethal. There are important guidelines and legislation covering for example front and rear crumple zones, seat belts, child seat fixings, but very little formal attention has been paid to the dangers lurking in the car boot.
Every MasterLine safety guard is tested separately at TÜV in the relevant car. TÜV dont actually crash every car but whack a ram into the back of the MasterLine with a force equivalent to a 90kph collision.
MasterLine allows you to fill the car boot to full height, making better use of the boot space. It also makes a brilliant dog guard.
With most cars the boot roller can be left in place, and it doesn't usually take more than a couple of minutes to fit or remove a MasterLine.
In summary, this is a product which may look expensive at first glance but it will certainly provide real peace of mind and, the more you think about it, may well assume the status of "essential accessory".

Google is about to unveil a new layer for Google Earth that shows over 5700 3D buildings from the city of Rome, circa 320 AD. This is based at least in part from the model of the city we showed you last year from the University of Virginia. If nothing else, they're both based off the the "Plastico di Roma Antica", a highly detailed plaster version of Rome that was built in the 1970's.
The layer is not yet available, but will be found under "Gallery –> Ancient Rome 3D" when it's released. You can find much more info about this layer at the Google Earth Blog, the Official Google Blog, Google's new Ancient Rome page, or the video below.

Authorities investigating the explosion that took place at a West, Texas fertilizer plant last week say they have found the origin of the explosion, as lawmakers question whether chemical storage regulations need to be strengthened. NBC's Gabe Gutierrez reports.
Residents have returned to a Texas town cratered by a massive fertilizer plant explosion that ripped open an apartment complex, damaged a school, and collapsed a nursing home, killing 14 people and injuring 200 more.
It is still not clear what caused the initial fire that sparked the explosion on April 17 in West, Texas.
About 1,500 students from the tiny town near Waco, Texas will go back to school in makeshift classrooms or a neighboring district on Monday. For many, the damage at home will take longer to repair.
"Every time I close my eyes, all I can think about is the explosion," West High School senior Edi Botello said. "People running around. People evacuating. There was one point I couldn't even talk. I just stuttered."
Rod Aydelotte / AP
The huge blast rocked a small Texas town causing an unknown number of deaths and destroying nearby homes.
Those who lived close to the West Fertilizer Company plant say they were lucky to escape with their lives – but putting them back together will take time.
"I don't think they can fix it, we have ceilings down," NBCDFW.com quoted David Polansky as saying, referring to his family's home. "My mother died in 2002, and that feeling is almost the same, you're just crushed to see all this."
Officials have opened what is known as Zone 2, a four-block area close to the plant, on Sunday. The area closest to the plant remains closed. Residents in the least damaged homes were allowed back Saturday night, with a curfew in place.
"What can you say?" said resident Jimmy Polansky, who claims his house was targeted by looters.
Investigators said they have found no evidence of criminal activity in the blast that tore through West just before 8 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
That's a small comfort to resident Dee Dablin. The walls of her home about a half mile from the plant remain standing, but the inside of is wrecked.
In this small Texas town, people pitch in to help out following the deadly blast at a local fertilizer plant.
"It's unbelievable, just unbelievable," Dablin said. "But I'm alive, that's all. I'm alive."
The roof of an apartment building that sat across a strip of railroad tracks from the fertilizer plant was collapsed, the structure's windows blown out, and debris scattered for hundreds of yards.
"Several blocks we had projectiles or shrapnel that has been found of different sizes," assistant state fire marshal Kelly Kistner said, according to NBCDFW.com. "Smaller pieces have been found blocks away."
The displaced congregation of the First Baptist Church in West held prayer services in a field on Sunday as the town took in the full extent of the damage.
"None of this makes sense. It is frightening, it is surreal," Pastor John Crowder said at the service, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald. "Do you feel like I do, that we're walking through a science fiction movie?"

This is a hypothetical situation.
Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV4) is a vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis. MCV4 is a conjugate vaccine.
I would like to know if the polysaccharide base could interact with the conjugate base. I think they would not act like booster doses and that the efficacy of the conjugate vaccine would be decreased, due to the lifelong effects of MPSV4.
Might MPSV4's polysaccharide base interact with MCV4's conjugate base, and if so, what might be the mechanism?

Aircraft will dance in the skies over Great Yarmouth seafront for four days next summer as the resort hosts its first ever major airshow.
The new seafront event – geared to attract up to 300,000 people and a £10m-plus boost to the local economy – will be held from June 15 to 18.
It is being staged by Greater Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement District (BID) as part of its drive to bring more visitors and spending power to the borough.
The airshow, featuring two evening and two afternoon display sessions, aims to feature military and civilian displays and become the biggest single event in East Anglia.

Welcome to Lake Pend Oreille Idaho Club (LPOIC). Our club is dedicated to protecting and enhancing our lake. We are primarily a fishing club, but have a vested interest in keeping our lake in pristine condition through the help of many other groups and volunteers.
Lake Pend Oreille has the distinguished honor of giving up 3 Idaho State record fish, two of which are world records. In 1947, Wes Hamlet boated a 37 lb. Rainbow, commonly referred to as a Kamloops or Gerrard Rainbow. This fish still remains the world record in it's category. In 1949, Nelson Higgins landed a 32 lb. Bull Trout (currently protected under the Endangered Species Act) and remains the world record. In 2010, Dale Hofmann caught a 6 lb. 8 oz. 26 inch Lake Whitefish, currently an Idaho State record.
Many other species of fish can be caught on Lake Pend Oreille, but the primary fishery LPOIC is concerned with is the Gerrard Rainbow and it's number one food source, Kokanee. To read more about the fishery, you can find a nicely written article in Sandpoint Magazine.

Taken By Design: Photographs from the Institute of Design, 1937–1971
Edited by David Travis and Elizabeth Siegel
272 pages
20 color plates, 250 halftones
8-1/2 x 12"
One of Chicago's great cultural achievements, the Institute of Design was among the most important schools of photography in twentieth-century America. It began as an outpost of experimental Bauhaus education and was home to an astonishing group of influential teachers and students, including Lázló Moholy-Nagy, Harry Callahan, and Aaron Siskind. To date, however, the Institute's enormous contributions to the art and practice of photography have gone largely unexplored. Taken by Design is the first publication to examine thoroughly this remarkable institution and its lasting impact.
With nearly 300 illustrations, including many never-before published photographs, Taken by Design examines the changing nature of photography over this critical period in America's midcentury. It starts by documenting the experimental nature of Moholy's Bauhaus approach and photography's new and enhanced role in training the "complete designer." Next it traces the formal and abstract camera experiments under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind, which aimed at achieving a new kind of photographic subjectivity. Finally, it highlights the Institute's focus on conscious references to the processes of the photographic medium itself. In addition to photographs by Moholy, Callahan, and Siskind, the book showcases works by Barbara Crane, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Joseph Jachna, Kenneth Josephson, Gyorgy Kepes, Nathan Lerner, Ray K. Metzker, Richard Nickel, Arthur Siegel, Art Sinsabaugh, and many others. Major essays from experts in the field, biographies, a chronology, and reprints of critical essays are also included, making Taken by Design an essential work for anyone interested in the history of American photography.
Taken By Design was organized by The Art Institute of Chicago.


text: I have a multiplication $A * B * A^T$, where $B$ is a covariance matrix (i.e. symmetric, square) and $A$ is an arbitrary matrix with compatible dimensions. Given the symmetry of $B$ and the fact that I multiply by $A$ and $A^T$, it really feels like there must be a more efficient way to compute the result than two multiplications, but I haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone have any insight on the problem, or why there isn't any better way of doing it?
