How Newegg Saved Online Retail 259 259

from the thank-heavens-for-angry-lawyers dept.
bargainsale writes with an account at Ars Technica of "the inspiring story of Newegg vs the patent troll. Perhaps the system does work after all." Newegg's lawyer Lee Cheng has some choice words for the business model employed by Soverain Software, the patent troll which tried, with some success, to exact money from online retailers for using online shopping carts. Newegg has prevailed, though, and Soverain's claims are toast. From Ars: "The ruling effectively shuts down dozens of the lawsuits Soverain filed last year against Nordstrom's, Macy's, Home Depot, Radioshack, Kohl's, and many others (see our chart on page 2). All of them did nothing more than provide shoppers with basic online checkout technology. Soverain used two patents, numbers 5,715,314 and 5,909,492, to claim ownership of the "shopping carts" commonly used in online stores. In some cases, it wielded a third patent, No. 7,272,639."

The Northwest Florida Ballet presents the magical production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and the neo classical ballet "Afterglow" at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream," based on William Shakespeare's play, will be the premier of this production for the NFB. The production has a cast of more than 58 dancers, which includes NFB Company members and an array of international guest artists. Breathtaking scenery and costumes from Orlando Ballet will add to the delight for the audience.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a happy tangle of plots and subplots about the loves and adventures of mortals and mystical beings. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest.
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy wrote the musical score for the play. The arrangement was then edited to form a version suitable for dance, and Marius Petipa and later George Balanchine and Federick Ashton first choreographed the ballet version of Shakespeare's play in 1876.
This production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is choreographed by Katia Garza. Garza has been an NFB audience favorite for the past 10 years. She is a principal guest artist with Northwest Florida Ballet and has been featured in many ballets including "Nutcracker," "Cinderella" and many original contemporary ballets.
Garza not only performs with NFB but also regularly teaches and choreographs for the company.
"I have to say that I have choreographed before but 'Midsummer' is the one I enjoy the most." Garza says. "It is a fun story with a lot of dancing and the audience will laugh and enjoy it.
"'Midsummer' is such a fun ballet to choreograph because it's always different and gives the dancers the freedom to interpret the roles in such a different way, so for me it's always like a new ballet."
Artistic director Todd Eric Allen says, "The dancers love working with Katia. Her positive energy and artistry are inspiring."
Also on the program will be the neoclassical ballet "Afterglow," choreographed by Allen set to the music "Fantasia on a Theme" by Thomas Tallis composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
This ballet was originally choreographed for Northwest Florida Ballet in 2001 and is an exploration of shapes and texture sure to please the eye and ear.
Tickets are $28 for adults and $14 for children 12 and under. Tickets are available for purchase online at the website nfballet.org or by calling 664-7787.
The Mattie Kelly Arts Center is on the campus of Northwest Florida State College, 100 College Blvd., in Niceville.
A Midsummer Night's Dream performances are sponsored by St Joe Community Foundation.
In addition to its two public performances, NFB will also present a performance for area school children. This performance is part of NFB's Education and Outreach services and will be held on Friday at 10 a.m. Call NFB at 664-7787 for more details.
The Northwest Florida Ballet celebrates its 43nd year as a regionally recognized semi-professional ballet company and school. The NFB is funded in part by the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs.

Section Information
Section Description Provided by Instructor
One Semester, 7 credits.
Minor writing credit given; major writing credit by arrangement with the professor.
10-14 students will be admitted each semester.
Students enroll in the clinic for one semester; there may be an opportunity to continue working with clients in subsequent semesters.
Students in the clinic will represent clients in actual cases as well as participate in a variety of pedagogical exercises (in weekly seminars, weekly team meetings with the professor, readings, and simulated exercises). All students should devote at least 21 hours a week to clinic work. The clinic emphasizes problem solving of environmental issues, substantive environmental law, as well as basic lawyering skills that are transferable and are designed to equip students for a variety of career paths.
The clinic will represent clients on a broad array of environmental issues including clean water, environmental justice, land use, and clean air. Clients likely will include community groups, regional environmental organizations, and possibly national environmental organizations.
Students will be confronted with environmental problems brought to them by clients and work together with the client, their colleagues, and the professor to identify strategies for seeking innovative solutions for the clients' concerns. Students will engage in a variety of fact gathering and fact development techniques including interviewing clients, file reviews and reviews of other documentary sources, Freedom of Information Act/Law requests, pre-trial discovery, and preparation of experts and other witnesses. Students will explore and pursue both litigation and non-litigation strategies for resolving the clients' problems. Students will work with professionals from other disciplines to seek creative solutions for their clients' concerns. Other professionals who may be involved in the work of the clinic include planners, biologists, environmental scientists, engineers, and economists. In devising strategies to alleviate the clients' concerns, students will develop and refine counseling skills. Students will address ethical issues arising from their cases including potential conflicts that may arise in the representation of multiple clients. Students will learn the professional obligations that they have as lawyers in the attorney-client relationship.
We will hold a weekly seminar to discuss work on cases, explore legal and ethical issues that arise in cases, and engage in the simulation exercises. To prepare for their work as lawyers representing clients, students will participate in an extensive program of simulations including client interviewing, investigation, drafting of pleadings, arguing motions, drafting interrogatories and responses, depositions, negotiations, and trial practice.
Students will identify their own professional goals for the semester including specific skills or professional attributes they would like to develop or enhance in preparation for making the transition to the legal profession. These goals will serve as one measure of a student's success in the clinic. Students will be asked to reflect on their experiences in a journal and other short assignments.
Students will work in teams to represent clients. Students will meet with the professor at least weekly in teams and individually.

One of the coolest parts of my job is talking with customers and partners about their production environment challenges around database technology. A topic of particular interest lately is in-memory database (IMDB) systems and their integration into an existing environment.
The need for speed
Much of the media coverage of IMDB integrations is heavily focused on speed and loaded with terms like real-time processing, on-demand analytics and memory speed. But zeroing in on the performance benefits comes at the expense of so many other key aspects of IMDBs. The technology needs to be evaluated as a whole.
Granted, in-memory databases can store data structures in DRAM with latency that is measured in nanoseconds. (Latency of disk-based technology, comparatively, is glacial – clocked in milliseconds.) Depending on the workload and the vendor's database engine architecture, DRAM processing can improve database performance by as much as 50X-100X.
How durable is it?
Keep in mind that most relational database systems conform to the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) properties of transactions. (You can find a more thorough investigation of these properties in this paper – "The Transaction Concept: Virtues and Limitation" – authored by database pioneer Jim Gray.) The matter of relational database system durability naturally raises the question: But how is data protected from DRAM failures when things go haywire and what is the recovery experience like? Relational databases implement the durable property to prevent problems associated with power loss or hardware failure to ensure transaction information is permanently captured.
The commonly used WAL (Write Ahead Logging) method ensures that the transaction data is written to a log file (persisted on non-volatile storage) before it is committed and subsequently written to a data file (persisted on non-volatile storage). When the database engine restarts after a failure, it switches to recovery mode to read the log file and determine if the transactions should be rolled forward (committed) or rolled back (cancelled), depending on their state at the time of failure.
Current in-memory database systems support durability and their implementations vary by vendor. Here is a sampling of durability techniques they use:
Shopping tip: Consider durability when evaluating your options
If changes in your data environment are frequent and require greater persistence and consistency, be sure to also consider durability when evaluating and comparing vendor implementations. Durability is no less important than query speed. Different implementations may or may not be a good fit and in some cases might require additional hardware that can increase cost.
It's easy to get swept away by all the media attention about how in-memory databases deliver blazing performance, but customers often tell me they would gladly give up some performance for rock-solid stability and interoperability.
For our part, LSI enterprise PCIe® flash storage solutions not only perform well but also include DuraClass™ technology, which can increase the endurance, reliability and power efficiency of non-volatile storage used for in-memory database systems.

Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 17, 1972, was the last manned mission to the moon. But in December of 1974, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.

Increasing horsepower dramatically is not a simple proposition. In fact, the higher the baseline power level, the harder it becomes to produce a meaningful gain. Consider the progression of tuner performance during the last couple of decades. Twenty years ago, Reeves Callaway's twin-turbo Corvettes set the enthusiast market afire. At a time when the stock, TPI-injected 350 engine was rated at 245 horsepower, Callaway's hair-dried version made 345 horses. That's a serious increase, no matter how you measure it.
A few years later, the Corvette's LT1 engine was rated at 300 hp, while Callaway's Supernatural version developed 400. Both Callaway engines generated 100 hp more than their stock counterparts. But looking at the percentages, the LT1 version only made about 34 percent more power than stock, whereas the original L98 version topped the 40 percent mark.
Most engine builders will tell you that extracting an extra 100 horses from any powerplant is no easy task, even with a power adder, such as a turbo. And as we mentioned at the top of this story, it's a whole lot harder when your baseline output is formidable to begin with.
Such is the case with Katech Performance's Street Attack package for the C6 Z06. Katech adds around 100 hp to the already lofty 505-horse factory rating-without a pressure-inducing power adder. For those of you who aren't blessed with a calculator for a brain, that works out to be a 20 percent increase over stock.
"Yes, it's tough to get a substantial power increase from an engine as optimized as the Z06's LS7," says Katech's Caleb Newman. "But it can be done. We've just had more 'homework' time with the engine than just about everybody else."
The homework time Newman describes grew out of Katech's close relationship with GM and the Corvette racing team. The company was familiar with the production and racing LS7 engines early on, and was flowing heads and determining optimal cam profiles almost before anyone else knew they existed. Consequently, Katech's approach to building more power with the LS7 seems relatively simple: more air in and out, thanks to a different cam; lightly touched heads; higher, 11:1 compression; and an obstruction-free exhaust system.
The devil is, as always, in the details. The stock Z06 already comes with a pretty big cam, and simply adding more lift and/or duration could have unwanted effects on idle, drivability, and stopping power (there needs to be at least some vacuum, you know). It's also difficult to improve on the LS7's heads, which are versions of the cavernous units used on the C5-R and C6.R race cars. They're already huge, with straight runners and pie-sized valves. Where do you go from there?
"The LS7 heads are about all you could ask for in size," says Newman. "What we do...is uncork the engine and enable it to move the air we know it can handle."
Inside the Engine
Not surprisingly, Katech was a little reluctant to give us the exact specs of the lobes of the camshaft. From personal experience, we can say it delivers a spine-tingling lope, yet remains surprisingly docile in everyday traffic. Of course, tuning is a big part of the equation. Katech's calibration raises the idle speed a couple hundred rpm, which helps maintain stoplight-to-stoplight friendliness.
"Drivability is the 800-pound gorilla in a car like this," says Newman. "Every vehicle or engine we build is a little different. We've certainly built Z06s with more than 600 horsepower, but streetability really suffers at levels much higher than that."
Drivability is, of course, a subjective term. Some Street Attack Z06s built by Katech have been equipped with optional World Challenge-spec camshafts and fully ported heads, which combine to push output past the 650hp mark-plenty of fun in a track car, sure, but probably not a great setup for stop-and-go commuting.
Regardless of their intended use, all Street Attack engines use a similar core. And while Katech's cam profile may be a secret, we can divulge some of the package's other engine details:
. Hardcoat-anodized forged aluminum pistons
. Stock titanium connecting rods with solid bronze small-end bushings (replace the stretch-prone stock split bushings)
. PSI high-lift valve springs and Katech titanium retainers, high-speed lifters
. Engine assembly is balanced and blueprinted, with deck-plate honing

However if someone wants to avoid people that do not share his morals then they should stay home.
#BelieveInLindsey #BelieveInSnyder
Franklin's Circus Circus idea is a good suggestion. They have some of those Circus sets surrounded by a carnival gaming area too, which was always fun to go to when I was little. Then they have The Adventuredome Theme park thing that would be pretty interesting to your kids if they have never been to an indoor theme park(which actually kind of sucks beyond the fact that it is indoors).
That brings up something though, how in the world does Vegas not have a Six Flags or something on the outskirts somewhere? Just L.A. and all its theme parks being too close?
I, for one, think an NBA franchise would prosper. It's a big enough city, but with 50MM people visiting each year from all over the country/world, it seems it would be merchandising hit and would be a cool diversion from the casinos during a 4day'r.
Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.
"Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality. I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. Im afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare... If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things that wed like to do but cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them." --C.S. Lewis
Walking up and down the strip is ok. The artists along there are cool. But yeah, you gotta shield them from the porn guys on every corner. The Excaliber/NY has good kid stuff. Serendipity down as Caesars I think is good ice cream but maybe not worth the walk. The shops underneath Caesars aren't bad.
Whatever happened to the White Tigers?
Once you get past Caesars it gets dicey if I remember right. If you want to go to the needle thing or Freemont street then take a cab there and back.

Ommerse Overnight Recovery Creme
Although pricey, this is one of the better products from Zo Skin Health, and the claims aren't the least bit out of line.
Oraser Microderm Hand Renewal
This is one of the most expensive sugar scrubs around, it's beyond belief that a doctor would put his name on such nonsense!
Add to Faves?
Zo Skin Health
Strengths: Company provides complete ingredient lists on the Zo Skin Health Web site; good cleansers and scrubs; very good fragrance-free mineral sunscreen; all of the body-care products; the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection and include a mineral-based formula for those with sensitive skin or rosacea; some very good moisturizers and serums.
Weaknesses: Ridiculously overpriced; anti-acne products contain alcohol and one serum contains several irritants; some products contain fragrance chemicals known to cause irritation; inefficient options for those dealing with acne and sun-induced skin discolorations.
The "Zo" in Zo Skin Health are the initials of this line's creator, Dr. Zein Obagi. You may recall Obagi, this dermatologist's original namesake skin-care line, which initially was sold only in physicians' offices. Why he decided to create another line with an indirect and confusing association with his first brand is a question we couldn't get the company to answer to our satisfaction. We suspect this is just a way for him to sell his products to the mainstream market while also maintaining the exclusive dermatological bent for his earlier line. Actually, Obagi, the original line, is available online from lots of other skin-care sites as well, and there is no exclusive dermatology angle any more. In total, this adds up to ridiculous marketing nonsense that is neither medical nor good for your skin, and it's all needlessly expensive. Whether or not women's interest will be sparked by the alleged formulary expertise, or by the blessing, of a dermatologist is yet to be seen.
The main differences between the original Obagi line and the Zo Skin Health line are that the Obagi line offers a couple prescription-only products that contain 4% hydroquinone and tretinoin. Curiously, some of the Zo Skin Health products have distinctly better formulas than similar products in the original Obagi line. The only other differences you'll find are packaging and the fact that Zo Skin Health products cost more.
As it turns out, despite a price point that's far from reasonable, there are more formulary victories than defeats in the Zo Skin Health collection. For the most part, this line does a good job of offering consumers formidable options to improve the appearance of skin and (in the case of sunscreens) to prevent further damage to aging skin. This is a worthwhile line if you're looking for products with retinol that also contain other state-of-the-art ingredients (most retinol products are one-note formularies).
The body-care products are also a cut above, though again, the prices are definitely not easy on the pocketbook. However, there are less expensive options, so there's no need to worry if you can't afford this line. Zo Skin Health is not one-stop shopping for all manner of sun-damaged or aging skin and it also isn't comprehensive enough to meet everyone's needs and preferences. However, formula- and appearance-wise it bests much of what Obagi touts as state-of-the-art in his original line. Ideally, he should've parlayed the best formulas devised for Zo Skin Health products into the Obagi line products because that would ostensibly give him reason to weed out the average to poor products that are still available.

Special Education Services
Regional Safe Schools Program (RSSP)
The Regional Safe School Program (RSSP) serves expulsion-eligible and suspension-eligible students in grades 6-12. The statewide program began serving Illinois students in FY97 as established by 105 ILCS 5/13A of the Illinois School Code providing a system of alternative education programs for disruptive students.
Because of the actions of a small number of disruptive students, local school districts face increasing problems in maintaining a safe environment for all students. Expelling or suspending disruptive students puts them on the street, which may increase safety and advance the learning environment inside the school premises, but does not serve the educational needs of the expelled or suspended students or the community's need for public safety.
The purpose of RSSP is twofold: 1) to increase safety and promote the learning environment in schools and 2) to meet the particular educational needs of disruptive students more appropriately and individually in alternative educational environments.
In its first short (8-month) year (FY97), the RSSP went from planning stages to the development of program sites across the state of Illinois and served 1,325 students. In FY 2012 over 4,000 students were served by RSSP. Currently, there are approximately 80 RSSP program sites in Illinois in urban, suburban and rural areas of the state.
The RSSP has 48 grants representing 47 Regional Offices of Education (ROEs) and the Chicago Public Schools. Grantees may run the RSSP programs or contract with local school districts or with third parties to run the programs. Individual programs may serve students in grades 6-12 or any combination of grades 6-12 based upon local needs and decision-making by the ROEs and local school districts.
The RSSP has a set of guidelines, based upon best practices for alternative programs. Each student has an Alternative Education Plan (AEP) and positive outcomes include: reduction in disruptive behavior, regular attendance, coursework completion and credit received advancement in grade level, return to home school, grammar or high school graduation and where appropriate completing a program leading to taking the GED test and passing the GED.
Behavior modification training and other counseling, life skills training, community service, and work-based learning experiences are aspects of RSSP. Computerized learning systems may supplement the primary academic instruction or may be used as the primary method of instruction.

Many adolescents today have problems and are getting into trouble. After all, there are a lot of pressures for kids to deal with among friends and family. For some youth, pressures include poverty, violence, parental problems, and gangs. Kids may also be concerned about significant issues such as religion, gender roles, values, or ethnicity. Some children are having difficulty dealing with past traumas they have experienced, like abuse. Parents and their teenagers are struggling between the youth's wanting independence while still needing parental guidance. Sometimes all these conflicts result in behavior problems.
Any number of isolated behavior problems can represent adolescent problems and delinquency-shoplifting, truancy, a fight in school, drug or alcohol ingestion. Sometimes, kids can't easily explain why they act the way they do. They may be just as confused about it as the adults, or they simply see delinquent behaviors as appropriate ways to deal with what they experience. Parents and loved ones may feel scared, angry, frustrated, or hopeless. They may feel guilty and wonder where they went wrong. All these feelings are normal, but it is important to understand that there is help available to troubled kids and their families.

By DANNY P. SMITH
email@example.com [2]
The Southeastern Conference has developed a reputation of being especially strong in football because of the play along the defensive front among the 12 member institutions.
Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino has come to the belief in his career as an assistant and head coach that the thing that separates the SEC from other conferences in America is the defensive front.
"It's the speed, athleticism on the edges and athleticism inside," Petrino said Wednesday during SEC Media Days. "When I came back as a head coach, I found out that was true."
Petrino and Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen are offensive-minded people.
Even though Mullen tends to think about offense first, he knows a good defensive lineman when he sees one.
Mullen is thankful to have one of the rising defensive tackles in the league in junior Fletcher Cox.
"Fletcher is a very talented player and a great young man," Mullen said. "What he has done is buy into our program, worked as hard as he can and is kind of what we expect in player development. He's a guy who comes in with a lot of potential, then capitalizes on it and becomes a star."
The Yazoo City native has certainly been consistent in his first two years with the Bulldogs. He had 29 tackles in both his freshman and sophomores seasons.
The sack totals for Cox rose from one in 2009 to 2.5 last season with one forced fumble and recovery.
Cox played in all 12 games of his freshman season with four starts and started 11 of the 12 games he played last season.
Despite progressing in the system the last two years, Cox has committed and tried to impress upon the other defensive linemen that the focus must be on getting better each day.
"I'm always telling the guys that don't work the same as you did last year because it's a new year," Cox said. "I tell them to work harder than you did last year, then you'll know you will be better."
Cox said the defensive linemen went out three times a week this summer late in the day working on pass rush and on other areas expected of them by defensive coordinator Chris Wilson.
"He knows what to expect and knows we've been working on it," Cox said.
With the graduation of two-time All-SEC selection Pernell McPhee, Cox is expected to assume much of the leadership role on the front.
"With Pernell leaving, it allows (Cox) to step into that role and potentially do it even better," Mullen said. "That's the positive."
MSU senior running back Vick Ballard is glad all he has to do is go up against the 6-4, 295-pound Cox in practice and not in games. He can't imagine many defensive linemen in the SEC being better than Cox.
"We've had many run-ins during practice," Ballard said. "Sometimes I can block him and sometimes I can't. I see him every day and I know he's going to bring it every day.
"Fletcher is a man up front. He's probably right at 300 pounds and probably runs a 4.6 or 4.7. That's pretty big and he's a presence up front."
With those kind of statements coming from those inside and outside of the program, the question of - would Cox leave the Bulldogs early for entry into the National Football League? -comes up.
He put some of that to rest for now at SEC Media Days.
"I want to graduate and play all four years at Mississippi State," Cox said.
The last and only other player to leave MSU early was wide receiver Olanda Truitt in 1990.
Cox and fellow defensive lineman Josh Boyd are close on and off the field and challenge each other every day.
"Josh and I talk about it all of the time being on the same team," Cox said. "We're always competing against each other and we aren't ever satisfied. We want to set our standard and meet our standard.
"You don't want to just do the same things you did last year this year. You want to do them a whole lot better."
Even before becoming the coordinator, Wilson coached the MSU defensive line the last two seasons so he and Cox have come to an understanding.
Cox said Wilson looks to him, Boyd and Sean Ferguson for answers when things go wrong along the line.
"If something happens, Coach Wilson will look at me as if to say 'why did that happen? You are supposed to be the leader.' I will tell him that it won't happen again.
"He always wants us to understand what's going on, what situation you are in and what to do when things like that happen. You just have to correct it so it doesn't happen again."

City homeowner assaulted during burglaryBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | December 04,2012A Rutland man who interrupted a burglary at his Oak Street Extension home was hospitalized Monday night after he was assaulted by the intruder, according to city police.
The man, who police did not identify Monday, arrived at his 11 Oak St. home at about 3 p.m. to find a roughly 6-foot-tall man burglarizing his home.
It was evident that items had been moved and that a burglary was taking place, Detective Cpl. David LaChance said. During the incident the homeowner confronted the individual and was assaulted by him.
LaChance said police were withholding details of the incident, including whether a weapon was used during the assault. But the detective said the injuries inflicted on the 26-year-old homeowner were severe enough to send him to Rutland Regional Medical Center for treatment of severe injuries to the facial area.
The intruder fled on a bicycle through the woods on the south side of the property, LaChance said. The detective said police are waiting for the homeowner to recover to determine what, if anything, was taken from the home.
The burglar is described as a tall and thin white man wearing a sweat shirt and possibly khaki pants.
Residential burglaries have been a growing problem in the city LaChance said 17 were reported last month.
Most occur when houses are empty and intruders almost always flee the scene when homeowners return, the detective said.
Its definitely uncommon to have a burglar be assaultive. Usually, they just run away, he said.
Residents who interrupt burglaries are advised to call the police, LaChance said, and not try to confront or apprehend them.
The smart thing to do is let them leave, he said. Dont try to pursue them because you dont know if they have a weapon.

Iron Mike Tyson Says Bout With Royce Gracie In 1993 Wouldnt Have Gone His Way
Well, in 93, I was in prison, so there would not have been a fight. But there is no way I would have won. I had no idea what was going on with that type of fighting and wouldve been taken by surprise. I would have had to train in that particular art of fighting for that to happen. Thats a particular art. You are not going to go in there with your just your hands, you need to have a great ground game as well. You also need a great wrestling game to be successful. You have to have both skills, wrestling and boxing. Thats the truth.
Back in 1993 Royce Gracie was dominating Mixed Martial Arts with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and while Mike Tyson was in prison his boxing dominance still resonated with the globe.
Many considered Tyson the most dangerous man in the world.
In a recent appearance on UFC Tonight, the former boxing heavyweight champion said thats not the case, Royce Gracie would have beaten him.

When your customer's home or business is damaged by fire, smoke, water or storms, you need to help them get back to normal – as quickly as possible. Experienced contractors share how they cope with disaster.
Conquering chaos
"Whenever a disaster from water, fire or other peril strikes, all the owner sees is uncertainty and chaos. We provide to them a vision of recovery," says Donald Nigro, President of DANE Contractors and Restorz,a restoration strategist group that has served as a disaster recovery specialist in Northeast Ohio since 1990. In one recent job, the company developed a strategy to get a 23,000 square foot City of Bay Village service garage up and running just seven months after a devastating fire and explosion.
"The challenges were many, diverse and needed to be handled with a sense of strategy and planning," Nigro says. In managing the $2 million restoration project, they used conventional advanced structural restoration methods along with high-performance coatings and specialized services like cryogenics and infrared thermo graphics.
"We have unique application challenges in the restoration industry, and efficiency and effectiveness is critical," he adds. "In our business model to provide a guaranteed healthy and safe environment, rebuilt with full structural integrity and free of odor and contaminants, it is essential that we partner with a knowledgeable supplier in developing the best solutions."
That is why DANE has utilized Sherwin-Williams as its coatings supplier for over 23 years. "Sherwin-Williams is an important part of our resource support team," Nigro says. "They provide in-depth technical support to assist in solving any application and resource challenge. If we are combining dry ice blasting and coatings application to an occupied commercial environment where time is of the essence, I rely on my coatings partner to provide the very best in materials to assure a timely restoration process."
Tackling a '1000-Year Flood'
Another example of the challenges painting contractors face after a disaster came after the May 2010 floods in Tennessee – described by the Army Corps of Engineers as a "1000-year flood." In all there was more than $2.3 billion in property damage, and the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center was one of the hardest hit properties. A month after the waters receded, Gaylord Entertainment unveiled an ambitious $225 million restoration plan for the nearly 3,000-room hotel, the largest in the U.S. outside of Las Vegas.
For Nashville-based Bradley Coatings, Inc., this would be one of their toughest jobs. The water rose as high as 15 feet up the walls in some areas, and much of the lower level had to be gutted. Substrates in areas ranging from lobbies and atriums to restaurants, exhibit halls and employee areas had to be replaced and repainted. BCI crews of 20 to 25 painters were on the job seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day, for a period of three months. In all, more than 1,800 gallons of paint were applied in a very short time frame to get the resort ready for the reopening.
Handling a 'fast and furious' timetable
"The biggest challenge was scheduling," says Dustin Whitney, the Sherwin-Williams sales representative who worked with BCI on the project. "They started work as soon as the building dried out from flooding. Everything was fast and furious as they had to juggle multiple areas at one time to meet the re-opening deadline." According to Stan Williams, BCI spent 17,533 hours from administration to painters in the field to bring the project in on time in the allotted three-month window.
Color matching was also a challenge. "We created a color file for them back in the 1970s, but many of those colors are now obsolete," Whitney says. "In some cases, we went onsite to cut out pieces of drywall and match them at the store." More than 90 colors had to be coordinated.
Specifying the right products
Gaylord Entertainment is known for using the highest quality materials in all its properties, and specified Cashmere Interior Latex Paint for an ultra-smooth look on the walls and trim. Low Lustre finish was used on walls, and Medium Lustre was sprayed on trim over a lacquer undercoat.
"If you look closely at the trim, it looks like an oil-based enamel," Stan says. "Cashmere is amazing. Our crews very much enjoyed using this product. It gave us great touch-up and its ability to dry quickly allowed us to recoat quicker."
Along with all the Cashmere, BCI used more than 300 gallons of ConFlex XL High Build Coating, an elastomeric waterproofing paint, on exterior brick. They also provided a faux finish for one of the rebuilt restaurants, and used more than 200 gallons of ProMar 200 Wall Primer. This massive fast-track job gave them the opportunity to play an essential role in the rebirth of one of the city's landmarks.
Brad Williams says the project's success was a result of painters, general contractor, building owner and coatings supplier working together like "a well-oiled machine."
"We feel that Sherwin-Williams is the best paint supplier in the market," adds brother Stan. "We do a lot of very fast-track projects, and we need a responsive paint partner that can get material delivered to the jobsite promptly. No matter what type of job we're bidding, we have confidence in Sherwin-Williams to get us the right product for the job."

Saccharum officinarum (sugar cane)
Field of sugar cane
Species information
Saccharum officinarum L.
sugar cane, noble cane (English); ikshu, khanda, sarkara (Sanskrit); pundia, paunda (Hindi); poovan karumbu (Tamil)
Not evaluated according to IUCN Red List criteria; widespread in cultivation.
Hot humid tropics, in moist soils.
Food and drink, medicine, alcohol production, biofuel, hair removal.
Sugar consumption can be a factor in tooth decay and obesity.
About this species
Saccharum officinarum is a member of the grass family (Poaceae) and is widely cultivated, providing around 70% of the world's sugar. Sugar cane yields the highest number of calories per unit area of cultivation of any plant.
Sugar cane probably originated in New Guinea, and was taken to the Americas by the explorer Christopher Columbus on his second expedition there in 1493. Sugar cane is now grown in more than 70 countries, mainly in the tropics, but also in some sub-tropical areas. India and Brazil produce about half the world's cane sugar.
The word 'sugar' is thought to derive from the ancient Sanskrit 'sharkara'.
Discover more
Geography and distribution
Sugar cane is grown in southwestern Europe, Africa, temperate Asia, tropical Asia, Australia, the Pacific, southeastern USA, Mexico, and South America. It has been cultivated in New Guinea since about 6000 BC, and, from about 1000 BC, it was gradually spread along human migration routes to Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Overview: A tall grass, which looks rather like a bamboo cane, and grows 3-6 m high with culms (stems) 20-45 mm in diameter.
The thicker-stemmed forms are commonly known as 'thick' or 'noble' canes because of their tall, handsome, colourful stems.
Leaves: Broad (up to 6 cm wide), 70-150 cm long, borne alternately on the stem, with leaf base encircling the stem.
Fruits: An oblong caryopsis (small, dry, one-seeded fruit), 1.5 mm long.
Saccharum officinarum can be recognised by its hairless or short-haired panicle axis, and leaf-blades up to 6 cm wide.
Other species of Saccharum
Besides Saccharum officinarum, four other species in the genus Saccharum have been used for sugar production:
- S. barberi, known as 'Indian cane' or 'thin' cane
- S. robustum
- S. sinense, known as 'Chinese cane'
- S. spontaneum, which is known as 'wild cane' and used for hybridisation purposes
Early uses - chewing
Sugar cane was originally grown in southeastern Asia and the Pacific for the sole purpose of chewing. The rind was removed and the internal tissues sucked or chewed. The production of sugar by boiling cane juice first took place in India, most likely during the first millennium BC.
Food and drink
Sugar is now a highly valued food and sweetener and also serves as an edible preservative. Raw and refined sugars are produced by heating, removing impurities and crystallising sugar cane juice, which mainly consists of sucrose.
Raw and refined sugars are exported all over the world for use in sweet and savoury dishes, processed foods and drinks and for preserving fruits and meat. They are also compressed into sugar cubes and made into syrup. White sugar can be further processed (ground into a fine powder) into icing sugar, which is used in desserts, baking and confectionery.
In India, the young shoots of sugar cane are sometimes steamed and roasted as a vegetable.
Medicinal uses
Sugar cane has also been used medicinally. In southern Asia it has been used to treat a wide variety of health complaints from constipation to coughs, and has been used externally to treat skin problems. Both the roots and stems are used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat skin and urinary tract infections, as well as for bronchitis, heart conditions, loss of milk production, cough, anaemia, and constipation. Some texts advise its use for jaundice and low blood pressure.
Sugar paste has been widely used to pack wounds and aid healing.
Hair removal
Sugar is used for hair removal, in a practice that is thought to date back to the ancient Egyptians. A warm paste of sugar, water and lemon juice is applied to the skin. Strips of cloth are then pressed over the paste and torn off quickly, taking the hair with them. Sugar is also used in soap-making and as an abrasive scrub to exfoliate skin.
Molasses and alcohol production
A by-product of sugar refining is molasses, which is a dark, syrupy product used in the preparation of edible syrups and for numerous industrial products. It is used for animal feed, fertilizers, and even for adding to tobacco for hookah pipes and some cigarettes. Molasses, along with cane juice and other by-products of sugar production, can be fermented and then distilled, to produce rum.
By-products of sugar cane processing
The fibrous cane residue left after processing is known as bagasse and is used as fuel to generate energy for the sugar manufacturing process. It also serves as a fibre for making paper. The fibre is separated from the pith, which itself can be used as an animal feed. Filter cake, consisting of cane juice, impurities and lime, is used as a soil improver.
Sugar cane is successfully propagated in Kew's Tropical Nursery using cuttings taken from the cane and then laid flat. The plants require large pots due to their extensive root system.
Sugar cane benefits from regular feeding and a large volume of compost. A standard Kew mix containing 10% loam, 45% coir and 45% Silvafibre with added fertiliser is used, and is kept moist.
The glasshouse zone in which sugar cane is grown has a minimum temperature of 14˚C and high light intensity. Under good light conditions the plants grow strongly and do not require staking.
Sugar cane can suffer from red spider mite infestations, which can cause considerable damage to leaves.
Sugar cane at Kew
Saccharum officinarum is on display in Kew's Palm House, where many tropical economic plants can be seen.
Pressed and dried specimens of sugar cane are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers by appointment. Details of one of these specimens can be seen online in Kew's Herbarium Catalogue.
View details and images of specimens
Kew's Economic Botany Collection is home to over 30 specimens of sugar cane and related products. These include sugar, syrup, wax, molasses and even toilet paper made from S. officinarum.

In the United States, a torn meniscus is the most common reason for knee surgery. These two C-shaped pieces of cartilage distribute body weight across the knee joint and are responsible for stability and cushioning.
While damage to the tissue can sometimes be repaired; in other cases all or large parts of the meniscus must be removed and replaced by cadaver tissue. These implants do not appear to function as well or last as long, possibly because the patient's own cells do not grow into the central portion of the tissue. As a result, there are no cells there to maintain the tissue's structure and strength.
Cristin M. Ferguson, MD, an assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery and regenerative medicine, and a team of researchers are working toward developing an improved meniscus scaffold that could be used as an alternative to current methods when the meniscus must be replaced.
The project's goal is to incorporate a patient's own cells into the donated tissue to improve its function. To accomplish this, the team first processed donor menisci from an animal model to remove the cells, leaving behind the support structure. The processing also had an additional function – to increase the porosity of the tissue. An important part of the work was to determine the ideal level of porosity; enough to encourage the growth of cells in the tissue, but not too much to weaken the tissue. The next step was to attempt to "grow" cells on the scaffold, which was performed in culture using bone marrow derived stem cells.
Further research is needed, including refining seeding techniques to achieve uniform cell density and adding culture conditions that support meniscus tissue differentiation.
WFIRM scientists are working to develop an injectable gel to temporarily provide oxygen to muscle tissue and keep it alive until surgery can restore the blood supply.

NXT Palm control software
I wanted to inform you of a new software I have written for palm that allows you to remotely control NXT from a bluetooth enabled palm.
I have only tested it on Treo 650, maybe you can test and blog your thoughts on it. The reason I developed it was because there was no remote control software to control NXT from palm - only for Java cellphones andPocketPC as you have blogged at:http://thenxtstep.blogspot.com/2006/07/bt-and-pda-control-and-pcs.html
at least 2 user comments indicated they wanted a palm version.. so here it is!
Thank you, Razix! If you find this useful or have any feedback, please email and thank Razix for the software.

Thank You for the work. I'll give it a spin with my SONY TH55/E PalmOS 5.2.1 and post the outcome.
There was one Palm BT app that I tried when it appeared on Palmgear.com early in August. It was really little more than just a proof of concept application and had very little functionallity.

Thanks for testing it out chris, Im glad it works on the Sony TH55. My next version will hopefully have real time sensor readings. I took a look at your profile, I love the nxt mono-wheel. Are the wheels from the Hailfire droid kit? If so I am going to ebay one of those right now!
- Nov 3, 2006, 6:18:00 AM
Thanks for putting this together
I tried this out on Palm Tungsten/T5. While attempting to establish a connection, I wait, It asks for the password, I enter it, press ok. Another screen flashes very rapidly, which I can't read and NXT Director quits.
Is there something I'm not doing right?
Thanks again. -Ben

It will only exit the application if it can not find or connect to the NXT device. I could make it more user friendly and put an alert there saying "unable to connect to nxt" and then quit. So it sounds like it is having trouble making a BT connection. It works on Treo's and Sony TH55 so it should work, let me know if you get it running.

Razik, The 4481 Hailfire Driod kit has the wheels. Though, they are climbing in price. I hear the Tuesday Mornings has some for a good price.
I would like to see some additional motor control options. 2-motor opposite turning. But, I will email you soon. I plan to take another look at the NXT Director this weekend.

Grand Theft Auto Online features the all-new Hierarchies system for Social Club Crews - borne directly out of feedback from the Social Club community.
The Hierarchies feature allows the Leader of the Crew to assign special ranks to members, designating the responsibilities of Crew management and assuring that loyalty and performance are rewarded appropriately.
Crew Leaders can assign special rank to any and all members (Crew members will otherwise all be defaulted to the designation of Muscle) across the following four tiers:
Commissioners: The Crew's most trusted member(s) - that essential right-hand man or woman that the Leader relies on for Vice Presidential advisement and executive action. Commissioners have the power to manage and administrate all aspects of the Crew on behalf of the Leader, including the ability to promote members internally or invite new members in.
Lieutenants: Made members with specific privileges to keep the Crew in check and hand out promotions or demotions amongst sub-ordinate ranks. Crew Representatives and the mob of Muscle would be wise to keep their Lieutenants (and above) sweet.
Representatives: A tier of Crew members who have shown and proved their commitment to the clique - whether with ace performance in competitive modes, or just by rocking their Crew's emblem faithfully since day one. Crew Leaders can assign these special players as Representatives who will have basic permissions to aid recruitment efforts.
Muscle: The rank-and-file mob of Crew members who are happy to play their position of causing some havoc Online, doing their Crew's emblem justice and fighting for its good name. Muscle-level members may not have nor want any administrative power but they're often the heart and soul of what makes your Crew fearsome. Ambitious Muscle who are looking to prove themselves to the Crew Leader and rise up the ranks may even prove a threat to their Crew superiors, if any are deemed to be slacking on their responsibilities or performance.
Beyond the overall Crew cap, there is no limit on how many Crew members you can designate to any one tier - so decide whether your squad will be a communal and anarchic free-for-all or a rigidly structured and exclusive Hierarchy designed to reward the chosen few and keep the Muscle thirsty for recognition?

Singer Morrissey says no to Kimmel, 'Duck Dynasty'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The TV series "Duck Dynasty" is coming between Morrissey and Jimmy Kimmel.
The singer and animal rights activist says he canceled his appearance Tuesday on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" because "Duck Dynasty" cast members will be on the talk show.
Morrissey says he can't perform on a show with what he called people who "amount to animal serial killers."
A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show follows a Louisiana family with a business selling duck calls and decoys.
A&E did not immediately respond to requests for comment from it and the Robertson family.
A person familiar with the Kimmel show's plans confirmed that Morrissey was to appear. The person lacked authority to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
