Prompong Hakk-Herbaliste Royal Thai Silk Dental Floss Packaging
At Design Interviews
Interview with Prompong Hakk : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Prompong Hakk : Twin Lotus asked us to design a new dental floss plastic container. After the first round of concepts our team realized the waste that this product created and decided to change the brief and create a case that could be used over a longer period of time. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Prompong Hakk : We aimed to create a Design that people would love and would want to keep making a "green" Design by choice. So we needed to focus on making a product that users would be addicted to by habit and finger boredom. First thing that comes to mind is the Zippo which became our reference. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Prompong Hakk : If there's something that is wrong with this Design it's its packaging which was locked down by a wrong brief and forced by a pushing deadline. So we will redesign the Herbaliste brand and package to make it right this year. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Prompong Hakk : Due to the complexity of the upper surface and the internal fitting of the components the final Design nearly required 2 months with another 5 months engineering development. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Prompong Hakk : We were commissioned to create this Design as part of our ongoing retainer contract with our client. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Prompong Hakk : Our Design is sold under the Twin Lotus Herbaliste brand. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Prompong Hakk : Since we're an Industrial Design Studio we're capable of working in multiple industries and enjoy the chance to do so, too. We use our expertise to the best no matter what work we are facing. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Prompong Hakk : At that time we were inspired the Polygonal trend. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Prompong Hakk : Herbaliste is a brand for young professionals that prefer natural goodness over chemical efficiency. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Prompong Hakk : In comparison to other Dental Floss packaging this is a keeper! .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Prompong Hakk : The Herbaliste brand conveys passion for herbal and natural ingredients. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Prompong Hakk : We used 3D software to create the concept visualization and engineering data. We also 3D printed the design to check for fitting and overall aesthetics. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Prompong Hakk : The Polygon ice landscape pays homage to the cooling effect of the Dental Floss and also creates a nice talking point when put on a table. We also like the built-in mirror to check your teeth after flossing. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Prompong Hakk : After the finalization of the Design we worked with a Chinese Vendor that specialized in candy boxes and all sort of tin boxes to help realize this product. They were very helpful in creating the product we have today. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Prompong Hakk : Technology didn't influence the Design. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Prompong Hakk : No .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Prompong Hakk : Creating a right fitting of the internal components was a tricky job and also the intuitive refilling of the filament. We needed multiple prototype to get the right density and feeling for the internal liner. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Prompong Hakk : I've started competing in the A Design competition since last year winning three awards. I intend to compete at least with one entry every year to build the studio's reputation but also increase Thailand's Design Ranking. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Prompong Hakk : I always push myself and the people we work with to reach for the best. It is the key to creating something great and the key of never getting comfortable so that your mind always stays sharp and hungry. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Prompong Hakk : I think my brain's already blown by all the above questions! .

Finding Jupiter has reached a milestone in its career. With full-length album Racing Against the Sun now complete, they're on their way out of the Stanford bubble and onto the worldwide scene. Like most other successful bands, however, it takes some clever PR maneuvers to cultivate an image and get your name out there. SF Weekly is tired of seeing bands publish cliché photos posed on the side of the road, on the beach, the playground, or in bathrooms, but for some reason, I find it endearing that Finding Jupiter members Sarah, Dean, Peter, and Luke posed innocently in stalls on XOX crappers. It's one thing to pick a random bathroom as a site for a photo shoot, like Rilo Kiley and Tilly and the Wall did.
But when that bathroom is in the house that nurtured an artist's creative juices and allowed them to rehearse uninterrupted, it's forgiveable. Here's to you, Finding Jupiter!

Encouraging Initiative
Profiles | Beyond the Classroom
One important way for students to develop these abilities is through self-directed projects. Students define an idea, articulate their goals, develop a plan, create a budget, put their plan into action, and then analyze its success or failure. Along the way, they develop creativity and learn organizational, communication, and leadership skills.
Some students have an idea for a business that they want to explore. Others see a way to solve a problem and want to take their ideas to the next level. Still others have an artistic vision they want to realize. Examples of recent projects include:
- the creation of an urban garden with a school in the Bronx,
- construction of a hydropower project in Nepal,
- and development of a partnership with a university in Chile to advance sustainability initiatives.
Funding for independent projects that do not receive academic credit is administered by the Center for Careers and Internships through unrestricted internship funds and grants for service and community action in the U.S. and abroad. Funding is awarded through a competitive process. Students have shown extraordinary interest in developing such original and self-designed work, and there are routinely far more worthy projects than there is funding.

Rafa goes to Disneyland
Woke my ass up at 6am on Sunday for the French Open final. Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer – there really aren't too many of these opportunities left. It was beauty for three sets, non? And what's even better is that they can bring that out in each other without hating each other. There is a lot of genuine and mutual respect and admiration shared between Rafa and Roger. It's kinda like what Charles Xavier told Eric in X-Men: First Class – that hate can only draw out so much of your power, and that love is the only thing that can inspire full potential. Corn! Oh my God, so much corn, but I love it so much! Especially when it relates to sport .
But while Rafa and Roger treat each other with true kindness, the bitches who watch and debate sport, well, we might be less classy about it, especially with comparison. It is, after all, a competitive game. Rafa is now 25, just 25, with 10 Grand Slam titles. Roger, of course, has been declared the greatest of all time because he has the most at 16. The question everyone keeps fighting over, and it's a great argument, a lot of fun, is that if Roger is considered to the best, and Rafa has pretty much owned his ass when they go head to head, where does that leave Rafa? Can you be second best if you keep beating the best?
Here's a great article about the issue. To me, if you care, the bottom line for anything to hold up is straight numbers. Nobody's going to be around in 50 years to explain to some kid that 16 isn't as good as Rafa returning everything Roger gave him. I'm more Rafa than I am Roger. Always have been. But Rafa has to keep collecting Grand Slams. That's it.
Anyway, after his victory, Rafa and his longtime girlfriend Xisca went out for dinner to celebrate. Then he and a massive entourage hit up Disneyland Paris the next day. Xisca is SO hot like sometimes I think she could be hotter than Sara Carbonero.

Home > Public Services > Lawyers for Learning Program
The Bar Association of Erie County's Lawyers for Learning Committee introduced an educational program in 1999 through which members of the legal community volunteer as tutors at a local inner-city school. The program is intended to assist students in improving their academic performance and building self-confidence. Approximately 100 members of the Erie County legal community, including judges, lawyers, court staff, paralegal and legal secretaries participate in this worthy endeavor on an annual basis. Each volunteer is assigned one or two children and commits one hour per week to tutoring, principally in areas of reading, writing and mathematics. School administrators have reported marked improvements in academic performance and attendance. Lawyers for Learning was the recipient of the Buffalo Alliance for Education 2000 Gold Commitment to Education Award. Lawyers for Learning incorporated in 2003, but the program continues to operate with significant volunteer support of Bar members.

Danny, who offered his account only on the condition that the Globe not reveal his Chinese name, said he does not want attention. But he suspects his full name may come out if and when he testifies against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
"I don't want to be a famous person talking on the TV," Danny said, kneading his hands, uncomfortable with the praise he has received from the few friends he has shared the story with, some of whom encouraged him to go public. "I don't feel like a hero. ... I was trying to save myself."

Ha, shows what you know about sniping.....
Windows aren't ideal, of course (cos they're obvious), but you don't stick the gun out the window, you stay back in the room as far as you can and still have line-of-sight to the target. Preferably, this would all the way against the wall opposite the shoot window. Doing this also narrows the field of view of anyone attempting to identify your location. Given the situation - noise, confusion, etc - you might even be able to get off two or three shots without alerting the cops that fire is coming from a house.

300 AAC Blackout, SAAMI short name 300 BLK, also known as 7.62×35mm is a rifle cartridge developed in the United States and originally chambered in the M4 rifle. The 300 AAC Blackout fires a subsonic round which is quieter.
The Blackout flash suppressor is the most efficient design available. The proprietary features eliminate muzzle flash, even on CQB-length barrels.

Quick hits from Thursday's media window and locker room availability, with quotes relayed from Medianews beat writer Steve Corkran:
— Interesting take from Bills quarterback Trent Edwards Wednesday about the philosophy of playing it safe and avoiding turnovers, comparing his own experience to what JaMarcus Russell is going through this season.
"There's a fine line you have to walk to know when to check the ball down and when to take chances, too,'' Edwards said. "It's kind of an instinctive thing you've got to have. A coach can tell you not to turn the ball over but you have to take your shots or you're not going to put points on the board.''
Russell, as cool as ever, said he is content to execute Lane Kiffin's plan of being better safe than sorry. Russell has drawn raves from the coach, even during a 1-for-12 streak against the Chiefs, because he used his strong arm to throw the ball out of bounds rather than run the risk of a turnover.
"That last game or any game, control the ball and not give it away and give them a free chance to do whatever they want to with the ball, then you're going to be pretty good," Russell said. "I was just going out there, if it wasn't there, check it down or throw it away. That's basically what we go through throughout the year. We did that in camp so that's basically what I try to go out there and do."
Russell didn't deny a part of him that would like to throw more often.
"Deep down inside yes. But the team player part of me says whatever it takes to win," Russell said. "If I have to go out there and hand off 100 times in a game and we win, I'll hand off 101 times. No matter what it is to win that game I'm going to be that team player and go out there and help out."
— Herm Edwards once said, "You play to win the game!," in an infamous postgame tirade which will some day be a beer commercial once he's retired. Here is how Kiffin explained it: "I was talking to (Russell) between series, `Don't take any risks. We don't care about stats. We want to win the game.' . . . as you had the momentum and you had the game, the thing you couldn't do was turn the ball over, and he did a good job."
Kiffin said in a different situation, Russell may need to reverse field and go for a big play, depending on the circumstance. It just happened that Sunday in Arrowhead Stadium wasn't one of those times."
— Running back Darren McFadden has been practicing with a steel plate in his shoe and concedes his turf toe injury is bothersome.
"You think you see a guy with turf toe, 'Oh, it's just a toe, he can go with it,' " McFadden said. "Once you get it, you understand why because every move that you make on it, it all revolves around your toe, and it's pretty painful."
Charles Woodson needed pain-killing injections every week to get through the 2001 season, missing practice every day and playing on Sunday.
McFadden said he wasn't sure if he would need to take a shot. He said he was timid running on it at first but that the pain seemed manageable.
As far as running with a steel plate in his right shoe, McFadden said, "It made me feel like I was running flat-footed. I feel like once I get used to practicing with that, playing with that, I'll be all right."
— While discussing turf toe, the possiblility of injections and all the practices Woodson missed in 2001, Kiffin said, "I thought Woodson didn't practice anyway, the stories I heard. I don't think it had anything to do with his toe."
— Sounds as if Justin Fargas, who almost certainly won't play against Buffalo, doesn't stand much of a chance of being Wally Pipped even if McFadden and Bush burst to the forefront with games similar to the ones they had in Kansas City.
Not as long as Kiffin is around, anyway.
"We'll be on the safe side with Justin. That does hurt us in a number of things because he is the one veteran back that understands our protections the most," Kiffin said. "To me he's kind of the heartbeat of our offense by who he is. If you can be in our locker room before games and on our sidelines during games, this is a guy that keeps these guys together with his energy. He's just a dynamic competitor that we'll miss if he can't play. The young bucks will have to go and step up."
— Tampa Bay may be the season-ending opponent on Dec. 28, but that doesn't stop Kiffin from bouncing ideas off his father Monte, and vice-versa.
"When we're playing somebody from the system he's in defensively. I might bounce something off him like 'hey has anybody ever done this to you? What would be your adjustment here?," Kiffin said. "And he'll call me and say 'Hey defenses keep doing this. I know you guys run this play, what are you telling the quarterback? What are you telling the backside tackle?' It's just competing to help each other."

Radio giant wonders if America can be rescued
Joe Kovacs
Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/06/limbaugh-looks-like-doom-unavoidable-doom/#lycSbGTHtB8q1L93.99
Joe Kovacs
PALM BEACH, Fla. – In the wake of a string of recent advances for Barack Obama's left-leaning agenda, radio's Rush Limbaugh, the top-rated voice on the political right, admitted Wednesday there appears on the surface to be little hope in rescuing America.
"It all looks like doom, unavoidable doom," Limbaugh lamented.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as the union between a man and woman to be unconstitutional.
But Limbaugh pointed out that was just one of a number of leftist initiatives moving ahead at full throttle.
"If amnesty happens," he explained, "seven years from now this gonna be an entirely different country – politically, culturally, linguistically. It'd be different in six months if that happens. But that's not isolated. Amnesty happens after Obamacare, and Obama's efforts on climate change and so forth."
"It looks like we're headed to one-party rule!" he exclaimed.
"And there doesn't seem to be any push back from the Republican Party. Push back is coming from the American people, a portion of them. If amnesty happens, that's undeniable what that will bring. We're talking about way too many people. We're talking about a significant number of people who will be granted to vote sooner than 13 years. You know it and I know it."
Limbaugh was responding to a caller named John from Indianapolis who had asked him: "What do you predict from the overflowing toilet that we call Washington, D.C.? What do you actually forecast flowing down that sewer from there and where will be in … seven to nine years?"
Limbaugh answered, "For 25 years, I have been asking, 'When's all this stuff gonna even out? When are we gonna hit the bottom? When are we gonna reach the point where people say this is enough and we start to rebound?' And I'm continually surprised that we haven't, that our decay continues apace."
Still, Limbaugh stressed he was not predicting the inevitable demise of the United States.
"I'm not a fatalist," he said. "I just have a feeling that something's gonna happen to straighten this stuff out. I've always thought that. I don't know why. I don't know what my faith is in. In the past, it's always been in the people. I'm not trying to be Pollyannish here. …
"I still have this gut feeling or whatever it is – and it might just be silly, blind, beauty-pageant-contestant faith – that this is all gonna work out. But I can't tell you why or how, so it's not worth much."
He concluded his program by urging Americans, "Keep the faith, hang in there and be tough. And keep calling Washington on immigration."

Big longshot wins Grand National
Auroras Encore, a 66-1 long shot, won the Grand National Steeplechase by nine lengths Saturday in a race shadowed by a recent history of horse deaths.
All 40 horses in the world's most famous jumping race returned unscathed and only two fell over the 4 1/2 miles. Only 17 horses finished but there was no repeat of the carnage that led to renewed calls from animal-rights groups for the race to be banned.
Four horses died in the previous two editions of the grueling event, forcing organizers to modify the course — softening high fences and improving landing areas and course irrigation.
"The new construction of the fences appeared to play a significant part in the spectacle and we also need to recognize the part the jockeys have played right from the off," said John Baker, who runs the course at Aintree in northwest England. "British racing should be tremendously proud of their contribution today."
Auroras Encore, ridden Ryan Mania, burst clear after jumping the last of 30 fences to finish ahead of Cappa Bleu, a 12-1 shot. Teaforthree led approaching the last fence but came in third.
"There are no words to describe it. I got a dream ride round, I couldn't believe my luck," said Mania, who was riding in the National for the first time. "I couldn't fault the horse. He loved every second of it. He was just class."
Sue Smith, the husband of former Olympic show jumper Harvey Smith, became only the third woman to train a National winner, following Jenny Pitman (1983, 1995) and Venetia Williams (2009). It also was the first victory for one of Auroras Encore's four co-owners, David van der Hoeven.
"It's unbelievable," Smith said. "He gave him such a good ride. I knew the ground was right for him."
It was the first time in 166 Grand Nationals that the entire field was in contention up to the Canal Turn — the eighth fence.
Auroras Encore's best previous showing was second in the Scottish National a year ago.
"Coming into the second last I was delighted — I was going to be placed — but then I saw the two in front of me slow and I thought, `This is happening,' " Mania said. "I then gave him a shove and he didn't hold back. I heard the commentator talk of a loose horse, but I didn't even dare look back."
Only three post-war winners — Caughoo (1947), Foinavon (1967) and Mon Mome (2009) — have had longer odds. Each of that trio was a 100-1 shot
Katie Walsh was bidding to become the first female jockey to win the race but her mount, the favorite Seabass, ran out of steam in the closing stages. Two other well-regarded horses, On His Own and Colberts Station, were among the 23 that did not finish.
In all, six jockeys were unseated, 14 horses were pulled up and one refused a fence.
Critics of the race pointed to the deaths of two horses over the first two days of the festival as evidence of the dangers of Aintree's notoriously tough fences.
"The deaths of the horses Battlefront (on Thursday) and Little Josh (on Friday) reflect current risk of fatalities in steeplechasing, which needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency," the World Society for the Protection of Animals said in a statement.

Barton Motors to be sold at auction
copyright the Chronicle May 13, 2015
by Tena Starr
BARTON — The Barton Motor Company, for many years a thriving Ford dealership, will go up for foreclosure auction on June 15.
Court papers say that Winston Harper, who once owned the company with his brother Woody Harper, is owed $434,802 in principle and interest. They also say that there are six federal tax liens on the property, amounting to a little over $103,000.
Woody Harper died in February, 15 years after he and his brother parted ways as co-owners of the company.
Winston Harper said their father bought the dealership and garage in 1958….To read the rest of this article, and all the Chronicle's stories, subscribe:

ATHENS, W.Va. – The Concord University Mountain Lions scored a goal early in the second half of Friday afternoon's game and held on to that advantage in a 1-0 win over King. Keeper Morgan Lawson made a career-high 12 saves in the effort.
King and Concord put on an even amount of shots in the first half, seven each, but the Mountain Lions exploded for 12 shot attempts in the second half. Their second shot of the second half proved to be the different maker. Erika Hoff scored her first goal of the season, assisted by Alyanna James, in the 60th minute to give Concord a 1-0 advantage.
The Mountain Lion defense kept King to just four shots in the second half, none of which were on target. Only two of King's 11 shot attempts were on goal. Conversely, freshman goalkeeper Morgan Lawson (Goodview, Va.) was kept busy, facing 19 total shots against and making 12-of-13 saves. Her 12 saves set a new career-high in her fourth game between the posts.
King falls to 4-7-2 overall on the season following the nonconference match with Concord (8-6-2). They jump back into league play with an away contest with rival Lees-McRae on Oct. 23 in Banner Elk, N.C. It is their last conference match of the year with playoff implications on the line.

The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) is a core European Space Agency (ESA) instrument on the ENVISAT spacecraft (launched March 1, 2002). The primary objective of MERIS is to monitor ocean color and marine biophysical parameters in oceans and coastal regions with applications to land and atmospheric processes. MERIS is a passive push-broom optical system using Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) at high spectral resolution (5-20 nm) in 15 channels from0.405 to 1.030 micrometers with a swath width of 1500 km. MERIS performed simultaneous spatial and spectral imaging. Spatial imaging is performed in a push-broom mode and spectral imaging is performed by diffraction grating dispersion. MERIS images are converted into electrical signals using CCDs. MERIS operates in two modes: Full Resolution (Direct Transmission) Mode and Low Resolution (Average Transmission) Mode. Full resolution mode uses 15 channels with a resolution of 0.25 x 0.25 km and a spectral resolution of 2.5 nm. Data will be relayed directly to the ground station in this mode and is not stored on-board. Low Resolution Mode uses 15 channels with a spatial resolution of 1 x 1 km and a spectral resolution of 2.5 nm. The MERIS imaging system consists of six overlapping optical modules, each with a 14 degree FOV. The FOV is deflected in the along-track direction by a depointing mirror. The ground imager receives light from the Earth and formed an Earth image on the entrance slit of the spectrometer. The spectrometer then dispersed the light onto an area array CCD. The spectrometer is comprised of a refracting block and a concave reflecting diffraction grating. All 15 MERIS channels are programmable in width and wavelength. On-board calibration is performed by seperate light sources and through the use of the depointing mirror as a shutter. All of the mechanical, thermal electronic and optical devices are mounted externally to the platform. MERIS is operated synergistically with the RA-2, ASAT, and AATSR instruments.

This is my first post and would like to ask for some advice. I have recieved a letter of claim from davenport lyons solicitors for downloading a game called dream pinball 3d from emule. They cite copying of the game on the hard drive covered sections 16(1)(a) and 17 of the copyright designs and patents act 1988 also making it available to third parties for downloading covered by sections 16(1)(d) and 20 of the act.
They ask for £350 damages to stop the case proceeding to court.
Obviously the tone of the letter is implying if it went to court i would be liable for thousands of pounds.
If anyone has any knowledge of this sort of case, and what would be my best option, because i am currently unemployed and do not have the money to pay the £350 damages.
Quite heavy for a first post

Recently ran into Mista B at Amoeba Music San Francisco (as pictured left) as the famed turntablist and member of SF's 4OneFunk crew (with Teeko, B.Cause, Max Kane) was dropping off copies of his tight new independently released CD SonicSoulSpace.
This latest production by Mista B comes hot on the heels of his collaborative mix CD with fellow 4OneFunk'er B.Cause titled Record Haterz. That ol skool Bay Area rap mix dug deep in the vinyl crates to deliver a flawless mix punctuated by forgotten gems by such bygone Bay rap greats as Totally Insane, 415 (feat. RIchie RIch), and 11/5.
Mista B will be flying out to New York in a couple of weeks to represent the Bay Area in the 2009 DMC US Finals Battle - the legendary DJ battle where skilled turntablists from all over, usually with endless hours upon hours of practice, converge in a heated battle that only last minutes but whose results go down in the history books forever. This will be Mista B's fifth time to enter a DMC battle. "I have mixed feelings upon competing again. Usually, DJs compete just once and [then] they're done. For me, it's not just about the competition but it's about sharing this so called art of turntabilism," he told me. "I feel that DJ battles are one of very few platforms to showcase the art. So with me, I still practice because I like to work on my craft, my skill if you will. Specifically beat juggling for me. I don't do it to be better than the next guy, but to be better than what I was yesterday and to show how graceful sounding this art is" Always pushing himself to improve and to innovate the SF who has been honing his diligently DJ'ng since 1993, told me that. "I took a class in college and a professor came up with the concept, "sound art." That concept stuck with me since so I like to consider what I do "turntable sound art." So now I just look for a medium to showcase the art. So here I am again, competing on a high level versus the country's best DJs, The DMC USA Finals again."

SAP to hand over multi-million dollar interest to IP victor Oracle
Coulda been worse
Oracle must be paid interest on the $1.3bn payout it received from German software maker SAP in a jury verdict in November over stolen intellectual property.
US District Judge Phyllis J Hamilton in Oakland, California ordered SAP to cough up the interest earlier this week, according to Bloomberg. The judge didn't offer up an amount in her ruling, but SAP said a sum of around $16.5m is to be paid out.
"The court does not find that the rate should be calculated separately for each year back to the date of the hypothetical license negotiation," said Hamilton.
Oracle had claimed it was owed $211.7m in interest on the verdict, much of which involved backdated interest to 2005 and 2006.
The interest payment demand is the latest slap in the face for SAP, which is the world's largest biz software company.
Last month it was ordered to pay Larry Ellison's database firm $1.3bn, after Oracle sought damages for theft of its IP by defunct SAP subsidiary TomorrowNow.
Oracle had wanted $1.7bn in damages in closing arguments in the case, while SAP called for an award closer to $40m.
During the trial SAP admitted wrongdoing by TomorrowNow. It agreed to pay Oracle $120m in legal fees and its co-CEO was baited into apologising to Ellison's company under pressure from Oracle's attorney. ®

If you're one of those people who thinks that soccer exists only to support bottle-throwing riots, you're not alone. Supporters of rival London clubs were apparently way more interested in stabbing each other than watching their last game.
Last night's Carling Cup match between West Ham and Millwall ended with hundreds of fans storming the pitch at West Ham's stadium, dozens of arrests, people throwing bricks and bottles in the streets outside, and one fan getting stabbed in the chest. (He survived.) The brawls began in the streets before the game even started, carried on both in and outside the stadium during play, and then ended with fans taking over the field in the final minutes ... before being ushered outside for more fighting with police.
For some of these goons, the fighting—and not the soccer—is what they live for. "Nights like last night make me want to go back to Upton Park more regularly... the passion and atmosphere," said one. Not only were fans proud of the mayhem they created, they were planning on it all along. Online message boards were filled with pre-match warnings like, "Make sure you bring your bats and don't bring your kids," which led to a heavy police presence at the stadium, which only encouraged the goofballs even more. And, of course, they immediately went back online to gloat over their performance.
One wrote on Millwall Online under the headline 'Someone stabbed': "Let's just pray that whoever it is pulls through ok.. unless they're a West Ham c**t, then let them die."
Charming, as always.

Perez shuts out White Sox in opening rout
Lefty allows three hits with eight strikeouts; Martin leads 12-run attack
ARLINGTON -- With Martin Perez, Yu Darvish and Robbie Ross leading the way, the Rangers pitching staff has accomplished the near-impossible. After 17 games, the Rangers have one more shutout than they do walk-off victories.
That seems almost as unlikely as, say, Robinson Chirinos leading the team in home runs, but that's where the Rangers are after Martin Perez pitched his first career shutout in a 12-0 victory over the White Sox on Friday night.
The Rangers, who have four walk-off wins, now have five shutouts in their first 17 games. The only other American League teams to have accomplished that since divisional play began in 1969 are the Orioles from that year, the 1981 Rangers and the 1990 Brewers. Perez has been a part of two of those shutouts and has pitched 17 consecutive scoreless innings.
"He was awesome, just attacking the strike zone, competing and getting people out," Chirinos said.
Perez, staked to a 9-0 lead after three innings, allowed three hits and a walk while striking out eight. He is 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA and the Rangers have won all four of his starts.
"If I continue to do what I'm doing, this could be a big year for me," Perez said. "My sinker was working in the first inning, and after that I was able to throw the ball where I wanted it."
The sinker is his best pitch and part of the simple answer as to why Perez is off to a great start. He is keeping the ball down in the strike zone, whether it's the sinker, his changeup or the breaking ball.
"He's just being consistent keeping the ball down," manager Ron Washington said. "He's using his breaking ball, he's using his changeup and he's moving the ball around. He's attacking, he's getting quick outs and he's keeping the ball down."
The Rangers supported Perez with a season-high 18 hits, including the first three-hit games in the Major Leagues for Chirinos and Jim Adduci. Leonys Martin also had three hits, including a triple and a home run, and drove in four runs. Prince Fielder was on base in all five plate appearances with two hits and three walks.
Adduci, who grew up on the south side of Chicago and went to high school 20 minutes from U.S. Cellular Field, was in the starting lineup for the first time this season.
"It was a lot of fun," Adduci said. "It was pretty special playing against the White Sox, being from the south side of Chicago. I know a lot of people were watching, so I was pretty excited to be able to contribute and play like that."
The Rangers were able to scratch out a couple of runs off White Sox starter Felipe Paulino in the first and then broke it open with seven runs in the third. Paulino had to endure it for as long as possible, because White Sox pitching has been overworked and utility infielder Leury Garcia had to pitch on Wednesday night.
Elvis Andrus started the rally in the first with a one-out walk and went to third on a single by Alex Rios. When center fielder Adam Eaton missed the cutoff man throwing to third, Rios went to second.
Fielder was intentionally walked for the seventh time this season, tying the club record for most in one month, along with Juan Gonzalez in July 1996. Kevin Kouzmanoff drove in one run with an infield single and Adduci brought home another with a slow bouncer to first.
"We're just grinding out at-bats throughout the lineup," Washington said. "That's what we've been doing lately. That's what it takes and we've been able to do that lately."
All seven runs in the third inning came across with two out. Fielder led off the inning with a walk and Adduci followed with a single to right. After Donnie Murphy flied out, Martin lined a triple down the right-field line to bring home the first two runs. Chirinos followed with a two-run home run. It was his second home run of the year, giving him the club lead. Nobody else has hit more than one.
"I'll take it for now," Chirinos said. "I just want to help the team every time I play and I did that tonight."
The Rangers weren't done. After Shin-Soo Choo kept the rally going with a double to left, the Rangers ended up scoring three more as Rios had a two-run single and Fielder had an RBI double. Martin added his first home run of the year in the fourth and an RBI single in the sixth.
By then Perez was cruising and the Rangers didn't have to worry about another walk-off win. Instead, it was just a matter of seeing if Perez could stay focused for nine innings and complete the shutout. He did just that in 109 pitches.
"There were a couple of batters where it looked like he was beginning to lose it," Washington said. "But Chirinos did a good job of helping him get it together and he got back into the mode of making them swing the bat."

Good evening. I am Tim Jones, Speaker of your Missouri House of Representatives. I am honored to speak with you tonight regarding a bold vision for the future of our state.
Moments ago, you heard our governor share his proposals for the direction our state should take. While his speech was rousing in rhetoric, it was short on substantive solutions.
We have heard similar speeches over the past six years, but despite the governor's promises we have yet to see him deliver real-world results that will move our state in a better direction. Our governor mistakenly believes that more, bigger government is the answer, that his administration can decide how to better use your tax dollars, and that investments should be made in government programs rather than in the industrious people of this state.
What our governor should understand is that we already have too many tax-and-overspend, out-of-touch, career politicians in our nation's capital. We don't need one here standing in the way of hard-working Missouri families and businesses who want nothing more than the opportunity to grow and succeed.
This is the message I have heard from Missourians as I have traveled throughout our vast abundant state and listened directly to them. The people of Missouri believe that more government is not the answer, it is the problem.
In Joplin, I met with the owner and employees of Employer Advantage to discuss their highly-successful business that is helping more than 500 business owners. I was excited to see a Missouri company experiencing such success, but equally amazed that their business exists because of a federal government that has buried employers under reams of red tape. You see, Employer Advantage helps other businesses navigate through the endless maze of government bureaucracy. It is proof yet again that government is too big and too burdensome, that it is in fact a roadblock to the kind of growth and opportunity we want in Missouri.
In Clarence, I visited the Chinn Family Farm where I saw firsthand what this farm family accomplishes every day for Missouri agriculture. During my visit, the Chinn's shared with me their frustration with the burdensome regulations that take up far too much of their time. When we think of farming we envision working the soil, tractors in the field, and rows of crops, but what we don't see are the workers in the office filling out endless government forms. Again, rather than creating a level playing field, government creates mountains of paperwork as a barrier to progress.
In Kansas City I met with business leaders who described how we are losing the battle for businesses and jobs to our neighbor to the west. Repeating the theme that I heard over and over during my travels, they told me how government has not given them the low-tax, low regulation business environment necessary to keep and attract the kinds of family-supporting jobs Missourians need. As a result they have watched business after business cross state line road to relocate to a state that emphasizes a more pro-jobs, pro-growth approach.
Across Missouri, the message is the same – people want a smaller, more accountable government, a lower tax burden, and less regulatory burdens. These are individuals and business owners that want government to reduce and eliminate barriers to growth, who want the freedom to work without coercion and who desire a level playing field in our courthouses.
Sadly, as you heard tonight, our governor is not listening to the people who elected him. Instead he wants to take a page right out of the Washington, D.C. playbook. He wants more of your hard-earned tax dollars so that he can increase spending and grow the size of government. He wants to pick winners and losers through budget games and centralized planning and not helps the truly needy. We want to import jobs and opportunity for all into our state while our governor wants to import D.C.-style taxation, D.C-based budgeting, and D.C.-inspired overspending. We will not allow this to happen on our watch.
The people of Missouri elected record majorities of Republicans to lead, and that is what we will do. Working together with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, we will advance policies designed to provide growth and opportunity for all Missourians; that will guarantee access to a great education for our children; that will help our state generate affordable and abundant energy; and that will allow us to guard and protect the values and beliefs our citizens hold sacred.
We will work hard to pass the first significant tax reform our state has seen in nearly 100 years. A lower tax burden will provide our citizens and businesses with the economic freedom to grow. You, the people of Missouri, know better how to spend your hard-earned dollars than the government. It is a policy that has produced explosive growth in states across the country; placing more money back in the hands of taxpayers and creating growth and opportunity for all. This pro-growth policy is even being pursued by democrat controlled states, one of which is offering ten-years; tax free, to businesses that relocate there! It is time for our governor to understand what Missourians know: reducing tax burdens creates growth and prosperity for all.
Many states surrounding us have also successfully reigned in the rising costs of health care by instituting much-needed medical malpractice reform. This year we have the opportunity to follow their lead by ending our punitive litigation culture, and to place the focus of health care back on research, innovation and access to quality care rather than on legal defense funds. It is time we have a system that welcomes patients and great doctors instead of driving them away.
One of the best policies we can promote is giving people the right to pursue their dreams and their own economic freedom, to be masters of their own destiny. 24 states have empowered their workers and given them the ultimate freedom to make their own choices; to be free to join whatever organizations they want and to spend their-hard earned wages as they see fit. We owe it to Missouri workers to give them those same choices. We should join the states that are increasing their populations, adding union and non-union jobs faster than we have in decades and increasing the spending power of their citizens. For true growth and opportunity Missouri should become the 25th state for worker freedom and choice.
To ensure a knowledgeable workforce, we must have a public education system that provides a world-class education to our most precious treasure, our children, regardless of their zip code or place of birth. We must provide every district in our state the tools to ensure that effective teaching is the number one priority. We must fund our public education system appropriately at all levels and then hold school administrators accountable for the billions of taxpayer dollars that they receive each year. And we must put an end to the governor's practice of cutting backroom deals that provide higher levels of funding to some areas of our system of education while neglecting others. It is time for true transparency and accountability in the way our system of education is funded.
We must embrace responsible energy policies that will encourage affordable energy prices. Missouri generates more than 80 percent of its base-load energy from coal, which means we must do all we can to safeguard our natural resources. Our manufacturers, our farmers, our business owners and every family continue to rely on Missouri's abundant, affordable energy. By incorporating an "all of the above" energy strategy, energy independence is possible and not a distant goal.
The legislature will continue the fight for smaller, more efficient government that will empower the people of Missouri. Together with the Senate, we will continue to push back against the over-reaching hands of the federal government and the continued attempts by our executive branch to violate the privacy rights of Missouri citizens. Whether it is protecting our generational right to farm, pushing back against unlawful and egregious actions by our state departments and agencies and holding them accountable, or protecting our devotion to life and the rights guaranteed to us by all the amendments that we cherish in our country's and state's constitution, we owe it to all Missourians to protect the values, rights and freedoms that they hold dear.
All of these ideas will move Missouri in a better direction by providing the people of our state with the opportunity to grow and prosper. They will level the playing field, move government out of the way, and provide families, farmers, workers and business owners with the freedom they need to succeed. These are not revolutionary, untested policies. They are tried-and-true methods that the states around us have benefited from for years now. It is time for Missouri to do the same.
We will however need our governor to work with us rather than against us. Just as the people of this state need government to stop erecting barriers to progress, we need our governor to stop standing in our way as we work tear these roadblocks down.
We need a governor who will work with us to provide the substantive tax relief that people and businesses want rather than one who relentlessly fights against lowering your tax burden, and uses your tax dollars to do it.
We need a governor who will engage with us to improve our system of education rather than one who calls for funding increases only to withhold millions of dollars in funding from our schools each and every year. This governor must stop using our children as his political pawns.
We need a governor who will stand in support of our efforts to strengthen your rights rather than one whose administration violated your trust by releasing the private information of more than 163,000 law-abiding Missourians to the federal government.
This is a governor who has rarely engaged in the hard work of governing. It was only during our recent efforts to bring thousands of new jobs to our state that the governor gave us a glimpse of what he can do when he focuses his efforts on policy issues rather than press conferences and political speeches. I would like to work with that governor again; not on policies for the few, but on bold reforms that will benefit every family and every business in our state.
The people of this state deserve a government that works to level the playing field and remove barriers so workers and businesses can do what they do best create growth and opportunity for all. This is the year we must work together to make this goal a reality.
Thank you for sharing a few moments of your time with me tonight to discuss our vision for our state.
May God bless you, and may God continue to bless the Great State of Missouri.

The National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation is an annual ceremony that takes place in the White House Rose Garden. The tradition officially began in 1947, when members of the National Turkey Federation presented President Truman with the National Thanksgiving Turkey. The ceremony allows the president to unofficially usher in the holiday season, and to reflect upon the meaning and value of the Thanksgiving holiday. What makes this annual ritual so whimsical and memorable is that, for many years, the presidents has spared the life of the National Turkey by granting it a presidential "pardon". Here are some fascinating facts about the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation.
- It is believed that the tradition goes all the way back to the administration of President Abraham Lincoln. As the story goes, President Lincoln spared the life of a turkey out of love and loyalty to his son, Tad, who wanted to keep it as a pet.
- There is no evidence that President Harry Truman ever pardoned a turkey. Staffers at the Truman library have not been able to uncover any documents,speeches or newspaper clippings that prove otherwise. (even though he's pictured with one ) To the contrary, President Truman would often rib reporters by suggesting that the National Turkey would end up on the family dinner table.
- There are differences of opinion regarding when the custom of "pardoning" the National Turkey began. Some believe that it started with President Kennedy, others believe it was George H.W. Bush who "pardoned" the first Nation Turkey.
- Turkeys chosen to be candidates for the National Turkey are given VIP treatment. They are separated from the flock, hand fed, and are trained to interact with people. All this pampering and training helps to ensure that the National Turkey will be poised and well-behaved at the Rose Garden ceremony, that is what is hoped for, anyway.
- A first runner up is always selected along with the Naitonal Thanksgiving Turkey. This is done as a precaution just in case anything should happen that would prevent the National Turkey from fulfilling his duties and obligations. (possibly some nude photos from years ago will crop up)
|President Ford
- Believe it or not, for many years pardoned National Thanksgiving Turkeys and those selected as the first runner up lived out the remain years of their lives at Frying Pan Park in Fairfax County, Virginia. Since 2005, however, they have been sent to the Disneyland Resort and Theme Park in Anaheim, California, where they become part of the holiday display and serve as honorary Grand Marshals for the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade.
|President Bush Jr.
- The White House has a contest on its web site for naming the National Thansgiving Turkey and the first runner up. Members of the National Turkey Federation come up with a list of possible names, and the public votes for a pair of winners. Winning names of the mast have included "Flyer and Fryer", "Marshmallow and Yam". and "Biscuits and Gravey".
|President Kennedy

"I see that your comment is from 2018, so I hope you've found a good working method by now, but if you haven't here's my way of dealing with lace knitting. I use stitch markers between the repeats in the pattern. It helps to think of the YO and k2tog as a couple. Unless there's a decrease somewhere, they have to be somewhere together as a couple. Count your stitches after knitting each repeat until you get comfortable with the YO and k2tog stitches. I also use a Post-it note to follow along with a chart. Cover up everything except the row you are on. It takes a moment to readjust them after each row, but it saves me time in the long run when I lose my place in a chart. Best wishes!"

"hi im having trouble locating the cable instructions and what does T3F mean. Please help me..."
"How did you make it with the third line of the pattern instructing you to work 5 rows and end up with 7 stitches on row 9 with an increase row in between, it refers to the lace pattern at right, but there are no right and there are no at right instructions, just wondering how you completed it with what appear to be errors in the pattern?"
"Why calling it "all free knitting" if this pattern is on sale on the designer's ravelry account?"

Are generic drugs really the same as name brands?
HOUSTON – Generic drugs are cheaper, but a Local 2 investigation is revealing why some doctors and researchers say certain generics do not always work the same as name brand medicines.
They say that's why particular generic drugs are making some patients sick.
"It's frustrating," said Jillian Holden, a patient suffering from epilepsy in Houston. "Since all this generic stuff happened, it's just not the same."
Doctor visits were a thing of the past for Holden, but that was before what she angrily calls the "switch."
"I thought generic drugs were the same, that's how they're conveyed," Holden said.
For years, Holden's epileptic seizures were under control. However, when her insurance company stopped paying for name brand anti-seizure drugs, she was forced to take a generic version of the medicine instead. Soon after she switched, Holden said she began twitching, developed a rash, and had new seizures requiring several trips to the emergency room.
"They were potentially life-threatening side effects," said Dr. Reeta Achari, a Houston neurologist and Holden's doctor. "What had gone wrong was that she switched to generics. This young lady who felt great is no longer feeling well because of a change in her medications. Generics are not the same as brand names."
The Food and Drug Administration's website is clear, name brand and generic drugs have the same quality and performance. However, Achari said for certain drugs, she's found that's not always true.
"In areas where you have to be exact in getting the right dosage, generics are nowhere near that," Achari said. "As a physician, I have no idea what my patients are getting."
While generics must have the same active ingredient as name brand drugs, they can vary on how much of the active ingredient is in each pill. FDA rules say generics can have as little as 80 percent of the active ingredient or as much as 125 percent.
The amount of active ingredient can change every time you get a generic refill because each refill could be made by a different generic drug manufacturer. Patients usually have no idea there is a difference.
"I think it is a big deal. I think it's a bigger deal than people realize," Achari said. "We don't know how to track problems."
"It's a can of worms, they (FDA) don't want to open up," said Dr. Tod Cooperman, president of ConsumerLab.com
After Cooperman heard similar complaints about a generic anti-depressant medicine, ConsumerLab researchers tested the drug and found huge differences in how it works.
"The generic was acting like an immediate release drug, while the brand name was more of a once-a-day medication," Cooperman said in an interview with Local 2 Investigates. "They were really completely different."
The drug was eventually pulled from the market. Cooperman and Achari want more FDA testing on generics. While the FDA said it is aware of patients who may be experiencing problems with generic drugs, the agency says it doesn't have the resources to perform "independent clinical studies" on generic drugs and lacks authorization to force drug makers to do it themselves.
"FDA is aware that there are reports noting that some people may experience an undesired effect when switching from brand name drug to a generic formulation or from one generic drug to another generic drug," said a statement on FDA.gov.
"FDA wants to understand what may cause problems with certain formulations if, in fact, they are linked to specific generic products. FDA is encouraging the generic industry to investigate whether, and under what circumstances, such problems occur. FDA will continue to investigate these reports to ensure that it has all the facts about these treatment failures and will make recommendations to healthcare professionals and the public if the need arises."
Cooperman and Achari said patients who have experienced problems typically take generic versions of thyroid medicines, anti-seizure drugs, anti-depressants or blood thinners.
Holden said she immediately felt better after she started taking the name brand anti-seizure drug again. While she tries to convince her insurance company to pay for the name brand, Achari is giving her samples of the name brand medicine.
Experts said if you take generics, you should ask to know the specific manufacturer of the generic drug you're given at the pharmacy.
If it works well, ask to have that same manufacturer every time. Otherwise, any refill could be a different generic made by a different manufacturer and you wouldn't know.
You can also ask for an "authorized generic" medicine. That means it's the exact same medicine as the brand name, just sold under a generic name.
