Nowhere in the country is fall's beauty more gloriously displayed than in New England. The sheer variety and vibrancy of colorful foliage in these northern states has delighted and amazed visitors since Europeans first set foot in the region. A fall excursion through New England offers the opportunity to savor breath-taking scenery, but also the chance to experience some our nation's oldest historical and cultural sites. Plus, with schools back in session, fall travel means thinner crowds and cooler, more comfortable temperatures.
An all-inclusive travel package, such as the Hidden Gems of New England tour by Tauck, can be a care-free, economical way to experience autumn in New England. You'll be able to take in the fall foliage without having to worry about travel arrangements - all for 40 percent less than such a trip would cost you if you tried to make identical arrangements on your own.
Throughout New England, foliage will don a dazzling array of hues, from vibrant reds, yellows and golds to rich oranges, umber and purple. From sycamores, maple and birch to oak, ash and dogwood, the region's trees will stage a showy display as night-time temperatures drop and autumn arrives.
In addition to stunning vistas of breath-taking color, the Hidden Gems of New England tour takes travelers through historic points such as:
* Boston - One of America's oldest cities, Boston played a pivotal role in the American Revolution as the site of both the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill. During the Civil War, the city was a stronghold of the anti-slavery movement. Today, Boston is known for outstanding cuisine, a rich arts and cultural scene, and a transportation and educational hub for the entire New England region.
* Lexington and Concord- The 'shot heard round the world' was fired in Lexington, Mass., when American Minutemen met British soldiers on Lexington Green in the first battle of the American Revolution. Some of America's best-loved and most influential early literature traces its roots to Concord, with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau all having ties to the city.
* Walpole, NH. - Another historic New England town, Walpole played a role in events leading up to the American Revolution. Today, it's home to the private studio of award-winning documentary film maker Ken Burns. History buffs can get an exclusive 'insider' look at Burns' studio when they take Tauck's Hidden Gems of New England tour.
* Woodstock, Vt. - Billings Farm and Museum in this picturesque village gives visitors an inside view of the revolutionary concepts of sustainable land use and forest conservation that first found root in the region.
* Hartford, Conn. - Mark Twain's Farmington Avenue homestead is a must-see for visitors to Hartford. Though Twain traveled the world, he considered just two places home: the Missouri town where he grew up, and this grand home in Connecticut. Steps away from Twain's house is the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author and abolitionist whose 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' opened the nation's eyes to the lives of African American slaves in the decades leading up to the Civil War.

Shirov on the world championship cycle
As far as can be judged from the comments, most of our readers agreed with my critical "review" of Chessbase's interview with Vladimir Kramnik. However, as Alexei Shirov yesterday pointed out in a comment, we've been missing a few details, which he later explained a bit more in an email.
In my column of last Wednesday I commented on both Henrik/Magnus Carlsen's statement about FIDE and the world champioship cycle, and some of Vladimir Kramnik's statements about the same issue, from an interview with Chessbase. Basically, I praised the Carlsen's for stressing the importance of the notions transparency, predictability and fairness, and I criticised Kramnik for lacking these notions as far as his recent remarks on chess politics were concerned.
Most of our readers seemed to agree with the conclusions in the column. However, yesterday Alexei Shirov left a comment under the article, adding some important details to the story:
Hello everybody,
I believe there is still one thing Mr. Hans Arild Runde [who also left a comment under my column - PD] and Mr. Henrik Carlsen miss - the way the cycle 2008-2011 was presented lacked fairness as well. It meant the match between winner of the World Cup and the winner of Grand Prix, fine. Then the winner of their match against the World Champion, fine. But what about the loser of the World Championship match?
As it was more or less clear that the World Championship match would not happen before 2010, the only chance for both contenders to be in the next cycle would be to play in the World Cup 2009. But then what if none of two players even qualifies for the final? What sense it makes their WC match then and the subsequent match of the new World Champ with the winner of the cycle?
It's really very difficult to find a perfectly fair and transparent system, therefore an attempt to create the Candidate's torunament wasn't so bad itself in my opinion. As long as there are no further intrigues such as Topalov/Kamsky's privileges and obscure potential privileges to Kramnik.
For Kramnik's privileges there is one more thing to add. At the moment it seems that the only potential offer for the Candidate's tournament is Bonn and they would want to include Kramnik. So sad is the reality of chess that unfortunately the most players would still prefer to play the tournament rather than play nothing at all. And here it comes - the Bonn tournament was possibly already in Ilyumzhinov's mind when he offered the privileges to Topalov and Kamsky. A typical one move calculation honestly believing that the move would make everybody happy. But he forgot that the organizers' nominee (which normally shouldn't exist but that's a different matter) CAN NOT be confused with the sporting part of the system that shoul be fair otherwise. In tennis local nominees exist too, of course.
Still, I'd like to remind the chess world that when Carlsen joined the Grand Prix, Henrik didn't seem unhappy about the local nominees (which, I for example strongly opposed to, in my opinion they could play one but not four events) neither the President nominees nor the general stupidity of the system. Therefore, I still can't fully understand the decision to withdraw from Elista.
As for me, I didn't play in Grand Prix from the beginning but I should admit I also had personal reasons for that, the issue of local nominees was only one of them.
Alexei Shirov, Riga 09.01.2009
Also yesterday, in an email which we were allowed to publish as well, Shirov made clear that some of Kramnik's ideas do make sense:
I feel extremely strange defending Kramnik in a way but I also see that when he was considered World Champion everybody forgave him everything. They also put a lot of dirt on me for 'refusing to play Kasparov in 1998' and now all the dirt goes on Kramnik. That means that only number 1 and 2 (and for the public it is in a way Anand and Carlsen nowadays) are always right and the rest of the people are always wrong.
But in fact now Kramnik is only partly wrong suggesting that he should be in the Candidates Tournament if Topalov/Kamsky are there as well. If you look at his message from a different side, that he would be ready to play in the World Cup unless the loser of Topalov-Kamsky is directly seeded, then everything makes sense and this is what I am aiming for since my communication in early December. And Carlsen could accept such a situation as well, in my opinion, so there is not that much contradiction.
It's always good to have a perspective from a top player on the situation, and to get some more background information at the same time. Indeed, it seems that not enough thought has been given to what will happen to the loser of the world championship match. And indeed, if we agree on the fact that we simply haven't yet reached the ideal situation in which there are no priviliges anymore, it's not that strange to see Kramnik, as the loser of a World Championship match, entering the new cycle at the same stage as the loser of a semifinal match, whether it's the Candidates Tournament or the World Cup.
Update January 12, 11:14: later Shirov added another comment:
I get the impression that I have been totally misunderstood, probably my English is responsible for that. Of course, having both Kramnik and the loser of Topalov/Kamsky in the Candidates would be outrageus, what I was trying to say is that Kramnik's opinion partly coincides with mine concerning Topalov/Kamsky's privileges in the next cycle. Only partly, of course, I am not going to change my opinion about Danailov-Sutovsky-FIDE closed door meeting in Dresden in November.
On the other hand my messages were influenced by the fact that in my opinion Henrik Carlsen and Hans Arild Runde stressed too much on something that in the current situation had less importance - the change of the system which is much less a negative change than the most of FIDE changes in last 10 years as this time the change was influenced by the objective reasons which are clear system's faults. At the same time if other players would act more clearly against Topalov/Kamsky's (and thus also Kramnik's) privileges, there would be a chance to change something in that direction. Now I don't see such a chance any longer - too much air has been shaken for nothing.
PS Peter, I don't know how to explain my general disgust with this kind of always-looking-for-sensations journalism. You could take some innocent phrase from my messages and it would be more to the point for the title of your article.
At first, this article had the headline 'Shirov: "I feel extremely strange defending Kramnik".' Indeed, this was only partly covering the contents of the post (by the way something that often happens with headlines). Normally we don't make big changes to articles after they have been posted (we'd like to work with updates or correctional additions only) but for an esteemed grandmaster who feels disturbed about it, we make an exception.
Remember the old days...the rules were clear...zonal, interzonal, candidates, and then the WC match. Why not return to that system?
I think Alexei makes a good point- the head line doesn't summarize what is in the article and it would be better if you know what expects you when you read the head line.
Well, Carlsen and/or Ivanchuk then. Sorry I did not make any serious stats before coming up with Ivanchuk. I like them both, so I am happy with frogbert comment...

Shirov has been the greatest player the same way that Tal was the greatest in his days. As far as I know, after defeating Kramnik and never loosing his right to play for a World Championship, Shirov should be the only privileged and get a free ticket to play Anand. I presume that the great Anand would follow the pahts of Botvinick and we would have a second Letonian champ.
Alexei, I think i represent many fans of chess which will always be infinitely thankful to you.
@ Alexei Shirov
Perhaps it was a bit too much, to choose that sentence as the headline. However, it's not really out of context since you are defending him, but indeed it's not covering the most important points you want to make clear.
I wouldn't agree with you that it's enough to consider it "always-looking-for-sensations journalism" - I think from the way I built up the article itself, it's clear that sensation was not what I was looking for.
It is always nice to hear from top GMs about their opinion on the cycle, changes etc. Even nicer is to see them responding once in a while to fan feedback. Kind'a makes you -- an average chess fan -- one in the crowd -- feel good that your opinions are read by some of these top guys in the business.
I agree with the spirit of the original article that commended Carlsen's stance and criticizing Kramnik's stance. Of course Kramnik's stance about being in the same spot as the loser of Topalov/Kamsky was perfectly valid. But Carlsen/Aronian etc getting mad about the changes is obviously understandable.
Hey, I was reading this nice wikipedia item on WC Chess history:
May be a good solution is to go the old route. :)))
The Champion should choose who he will defend his title against AND demand ridiculous amount of money for him to participate in the match. Come on Vishy, look at Capablanca for inspiration :-)
btw, when will FIDE publish the entire content of the Dec 27 conference - if ever they do?
btw, the article headline wasn't as sensational as Mr. Shirov considers it to be. Of course he is entitled to his opinion. But personally, when I looked at the topic -- what Shirov defending Kramnik?????? But after reading it, I didn't get the impression that the author has twisted facts/put extra words etc. to create sensation. Not an unjust title IMHO.
If I were Peter, I would change the headline at least now because it has created an absolutely unnecessary mess. My point was definitely not to defend the guy but try to give a balanced view on the current situation and be as least personal as possible. Therefore I feel truly disturbed by the headline that brings attention to what it shouldn't.
OK - added an update at the end of the post.
Excellent - "Shirov on the world championship cycle" is a nice summary of the contents. And implicitly, it is clear that the full article is likely to be more relevant than a hypothetical "Jansen on the world championship cycle" [of course I just put a rather common (Dutch) name, not meaning any particular person].
GM Shirov deserves credit for putting (well-founded) personal emotions aside, and maybe even more for insisting that this is not worthwhile stressing too much - it is still clear from reading the entire post, that's sufficient.
guys how do you know it is really Alexei Shirov writing those posts? It can be everybody afaik.
If I was Peter Doggers (or Mig Greengard for chessninja.com), I would verify that "Alexei Shirov" is really GM Shirov - and I am pretty sure they did !

In Chess, as opposed to some other sports, it is highly unlikely for any player outside the top 10 in the world to become No1 in just a few years. We know full well that Anand could, possibly, lose a title match to any player in the top 10. Possibly. Beyond that and no chance. Therefore we need to stop booing about participation for all. What was ever the point of having zonal qualification? All this did was allow top players to occasionally fail, and lesser players to advance to interzonals where they lost. The root of all these problems lie in complexity. Top 12 other than the champion - play some event, tournament or candidate matches whatever...The winner plays the champion. 16 games. I know that the 13th ranked player might kick up a fuss but would Michael Adams beat Anand? No! So what makes even weaker players think that they might?
"In Chess, as opposed to some other sports, it is highly unlikely for any player outside the top 10 in the world to become No1 in just a few years. "
What about Carlsen (#89 three years ago, #24 two years ago)? Wang Yue and maybe even Movsesian are potential other examples that 'the highly unlikely is not altogether impossible'.
BTW, Wang Yue is presently #13 (Adams is #24) - I don't say he would have a chance against Anand in a match played tomorrow or next month, but I am not THAT sure two or three years from now (if he continues imrpoving as in the recent past).
Its amazing what one reads about the WCC past!
"From a historical point of view", for instances, Steinitz didn't "hide" from no one. Lasker did some hiding but eventualy played the best, over and over (Rubinstein and Maroczy were simply victims of the Capablanca phenomenon). Capablanca did hide for a while from Alekhine, and Alekhine simply made Capa pay back. Bogolyubov and Euwe were all the strong that it takes for a WCC match at those times, but many people love to say different. Keres (as Bronstein and some others) could also have been champions, but Botvinik would have his time, anyway.
"The rules were bend multiple times in history too. Fischer, for example, would never become a world champion if Euwe (FIDE president at that time) wouldn't bend all possible rules for him."
What?? After bending lots against him, maybe! He would be champion much younger, you could say. Oh Lord forgive them...

This thread in general reminded me of the following:
A few tips for anybody making public statements, on the internet or elsewhere, interviews included.
If what you say contains only the smallest bit of ambiguity: at least 50% of anybody reading it will misunderstand it or use it to twist your words around and give it unintended meanings.
Before making a statement one should try to think of all the ways people could twist it around and use it against you; so try making the statement in such a way that this is impossible.
Be as clear as humanly possible. Don't try to use clever wording. NO IRONY (it will be misunderstood), NO SARCASM (it will be misunderstood). Use simple sentences and stick to the point. Do not bother with anything but the main point. SPELL OUT your point, even if it seems blatently obvious (or it will be misunderstood)...
You get the idea. ;)
(Unless you have an agenda to hide, then you should probably do the opposite. ;))
Which rule was bended against him? Tell me.
On the other hand, he refused to participate in US championship which also served as a zonal tournament. Then they payed off Benko to give his spot to Fischer. The only problem was that Benko couldn't just "give" his spot to anyone. You see, when one of the qualified players declines, then the next one in line (in this case the 4th placed from the US championship) gets the ticket. If he/she also declines it goes to the 5th placed, etc. So in reality Benko couldn't GIVE his spot to anybody. USCF and FIDE bent all possible rules to allow Fischer to participate.
Also didn't FIDE change the Candidates system when Fischer cried how the Soviets are all against him. And the best thing was, that when they did change it the way Fischer wanted, he refused to participate anyway.
Also, when becoming the World Champion he just simply said that the format needs to be changed or he won't play. Excuse me, but who the hell is he to dictate the rules just like that, when majority saw no need to change anything - just look how many people want to revert back to the "good old times". And again, when they eventually did accept all of his reasonable (and some unreasonable) demands, he refused to play by demanding one more crazy thing - the 9-9 clause. So FIDE finnally came to his sences and draw the line.
So you see, your hero was the most privileged player of all time. NOBODY received so much from FIDE than him.

"Ivanchuck's amazing pace. He seems to be the only player with a high rating and high number of games a year at the same time…"
for someone attending school, carlsen has always played a heck of a lot games. the relatively few games in 4th quarter 2008 were due to doha being cancelled. ivanchuk has played slightly more games than carlsen in the last couple of years, but it's a full time chess player versus a part time chess player - carlsen is actually supposed to study (several things other than chess) between his tournaments.
check fischl's stats for 2006, 2007 etc.

Someone should tell all these crybabies that life ain't fair either.
The more I read about this issue, the more I get convinced that FIDE is missing the point here...
We do not need zonals, knockouts, candidate tourneys, privileges administration by FIDE and finally Wch matches. Why do not we just forget about struggling for sponsorship and the impossible task to make about 30 super-GMs happy?
From a historical point of view, I do not give much importance to Wch matches. From Steinitz to Alekhine, being world champion consisted of hidding from strong opponents and picking weak ones... Well done Euwe!!! Poor Euwe, world champion during a few months only!!! ... Botvinnik won the 1948 World match-tournament after winning so many times against Keres, who was probably much stronger than him... Botvinnik was World champion for so many years only because of the return matches... Petrosian was world champion for 6 years but he did not win many tournaments by that time, did he?... I think Larsen, Tal, Fischer and Spassky won nearly all the tournaments that Petrosian could not! ... Childish Fischer quitted when he had a 2780 ELO or something like that... Karpov became World champion after winning a candidates match... Someone betrays Korchnoi in Baguio, who plays a new move against Karpov when they are tied 5-5 and poor Viktor lost out of the opening as a child... Campomanes and who knows who else stopped the clash Karpov-Kasparov after 48 games "because the players were exhausted" (rubbish!!! - give them 2 weeks rest and then keep fighting)... Kasparov and Short played a private match only caring abot their pokets... Timman (who classified by losing to Short!) lost a World championship match to Karpov (who was not world champion by then!) ... Kasparov closed the door to Shirov's legitimate right to play for the World championship... Kramnik won the World champion title after playing a match which was stolen to Shirov... Leko played a World championship match against his friend Kramnik after qualifiying in an irregular way (a tournament held in Germany, where only a few of the elite players took part)... How about Topalov and his never-ending privileges? Anand looks pretty decent, but unfortunately his title belongs to Iluminov, Makropolous and Azmaip... & Co...
Is this misserable and shameful tradition worth fighting for? I would say only this: stop adscribing any value to this indecent title.
I propose the following:
1) Follow the example of Tenis and name the highest FIDE ELO No1 player in the World.Period.
2) Introduce a formula to force the No1 player to show up at the board a minimum number of games over a given time window.
Point 2 is essential to avoid Topalov winning 2 more tournaments and never play again as to keep the No1 spot forever (!) and at the same time, to encourage super-GMs to follow Ivanchuck's amazing pace. He seems to be the only player with a high rating and high number of games a year at the same time...
3) BTW. Please someone tell Ivanchuk the he might lose his world champion title by running away from drug testing!!!
What do you think?
No privileges to anyone , this cannot be negotiated in a clean way.
What good ever came from privileges ?
Want real sponsors ? MAKE THIS CLEAN damn it!
Use the ELO system to find the challenger , and everything will be much more transparent.
Pasting my message from www.chenninja.com for any case:
I get the impression that I have been totally misunderstood, probably my English is responsible for that. Of course, having both Kramnik and the loser of Topalov/Kamsky in the Candidates would be outrageus, what I was trying to say is that Kramnik's opinion partly coincides with mine concerning Topalov/Kamsky's privileges in the next cycle.

Yes, they deserve the same treatment - no privileges.
As I mentioned earlier, FIDE is trying to integrate those players into the cycle which refused to participate in it earlier.
The way things are standing now both, Topalov and Kamsky are guaranteed a place in Candidates. It is speculated that Kramnik is going to be the host nominee, Morozevich is going to qualify by rating, and Shirov will be left out - as usual.
Aronian, Carlsen, Adams and all others are justly disgusted by this. They should all boycott and let those privileged few to have their own championship.
I am a big fan of Topalov and at the same time Kramnik is a person/player I dislike. However, Shirov as well as Kramnik (partially) make a point. If the loser of the Topalov-Kamsky match will qualify, then the loser of Anand-Kramnik match deserves the same treatment.
I like a lot when Shirov speaks his mind, not sharing completely his view on this one, but cool article! btw, Chessvibes has to be now the most interesting and dinamic website concerning good articles and interviews, congrats guys, I love your site, people has a way to read and comment on chess issues.

I agree with Shirov. Imagine that Topalov loses his match (maybe not the most likely outcome, but certainly possible). Then Topalov would qualify for the candidates tournament by losing two matches in a row, first against Kramnik, then against Kamsky. Certainly in that case Kramnik, who lost only one match, deserves a place as well.
Fully agree. And apart from the rules, Kramnik deserves to be in the cycle just because he is such a great player.

Kramnik was privileged in Mexico. Imagine - Kramnik is eight in Mexico but no mater. He play versus Anand.
On the other hand Bidding procedure for Kamsky-Topalov 2008. Now match will be playing in 2009. According to rules of FIDE for world championship in 2009 must be played and match for title world champion. Kamsky or Topalov must play two matches in one year !
P.S.: You are all forgeting that Anand, Topalov, Kramnik, Morozevich and Shirov declined to participate in the current 2008-2010/11 cycle (or at least in Grand Prix). It's because of this that GP is not what it should be, which eventually led to this mess. And now FIDE creates privileges for those same players.
Double wrong.
NOBODY deserves to be in a cycle without qualifying for it.
The rules were bend multiple times in history too. Fischer, for example, would never become a world champion if Euwe (FIDE president at that time) wouldn't bend all possible rules for him.

I think the article makes Mr. Shirov's standpoint clear and after all people who are interested in the headline il read the article and find out. The headline isn't even that bad.
I also want to say Mr.Shirov's participation in discussions like these is admirable.

Concerning the current WCC cycle situation: the patient is as well as can be expected under the circumstances.
Peter, I think Alexey have some more reason in his critic then that you are conceding. Myself I also wrote my opinion on that, in your "founding fathers" article. By the way and however, the balance of your work is undoubtly positive!
It's impossible because I am too a resposible guy, so the risks would be too high for me. :)
Mr Alexei Shirov - what a pleasure to meet you here. Author of the immortal game Topalov-Shirov, Linares 1998: 47...Lh3!!!
It seems you take calculated risks, so welcome in our presidency! :)
But I hope not enough responsible to not ignite the board from time to time Alexei Shirov!
I didn't say he hasn't been treated with privileges on his way to championship. I say:
1. It's not a question of being "my hero". That's simple nonsense.
2. He indeed was a overwelming chess strengh (like no one, ever), and he would reach it anyway.
3. Everybody felt that kid shoud be put fighting for world champion as soon as posible, otherwise everybody was just missing life.
4. In spite of that, many errors were done, and many people (FIDE included) not only bent rules and assumed responsabilities, but also mislead and betryed him. (Sousse interzonal is just an example).
4. That's why In strict terms your first sentence is right: Rules are being bent, but ALL THE TIME. With Kasparov, with Karpov,... Remember the Olympiads. I like Ivanchuck and Ukraine, but we know what happens when these names and chesses are replaced by, say, Press and Papua New Guinea. The final classification would IMEDIATELY been changed (Hungary would have a medal, AND THAT VERY DAY)
5. For Fischer at that time, not having some kind of priveleges -- Which he realy fight and claim for and that put every future GM in benefit even out of previleges! -- that would be a ridiculous exception, GIVEN WHAT FISCHER (your monster) WAS, in chess.
6. That's why your first original and lucid sentence is followed by an hillarious and science fiction other.

I would like to just point out to this discussion, if it isnt too late, that there are actually two questions being discussed. One is about the current WC cycle, privileges, fairness and stuff like that. The other is about how FIDE goes about making decisions. The later one is, I think, actually where the Carlsens were making their largest objections, which I think maybe some have missed or misunderstood. For example, it is a problem that FIDE gives some players advantage and creates unfair systems, but in a sense it is an even larger problem that they dont provide reasons for their decisions, nor to how they think and reasons or which conditions they are taking into account.
(if FIDE actually had to provide reasons for what they do, much of it couldnt be done, because they cant give good reasons. Like the president getting to nominate players...why in the world does he get to do that? Dumbest thing ever...)

His life was cut short by illness but the controversial author left a legacy of some of the greatest work ever written which is now celebrated the world over.
- A sweeping look at Joyce's life and works.
- See why fame drove Joyce from his beloved homeland.
- Filled with intimate excerpts from his personal correspondence.
With novels like A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses, he made a monumental contribution to English literature. But he never really had the opportunity--or perhaps even the inclination--to enjoy his success.
James Joyce is universally regarded as one of the most influential authors of all time, and his works are in the cornerstone of the canon of Western literature. But his life was marked by uncertainty, unhappiness and scandal. From the loss of his parents' fortune to the controversy that erupted following the release of Ulysses, BIOGRAPHY® tracks Joyce's life and career through excerpts from his works, commentary from leading scholars, and rare photos capturing the enigmatic author at every stage of his remarkable journey.

Electronic sphygmomanometer, Saitama, Japan, 1977
A sphygmomanometer measures blood pressure. To do so, a rubber cuff was inflated above the elbow to block the pulse in the lower arm. In modern sphygmomanometers, the cuff is pumped up and the pulse listened to with a stethoscope until the sound disappears. The technique was described by N. S. Korotkov (1874-1920) in 1905. This instrument is the model J-108, mk II. It was made by the Japan Standard Corporation. With this device, the disappearance of the pulse is detected electronically and registered by an audible signal.

Quote: Now this is genuinely funny. Stevey V had absolutely nothing to do with this deal. But I doubt whether he would have has the moxie to buy it if it was offered. Makes for a good laugh though....
Quote: The rules for understanding whether a legal conflict exists comes from trademark law. Here are the basics you need to understand:
Names that identify the source of products or services in the marketplace are trademarks.
Trademarks that are clever, memorable or suggestive are protected under federal and state law.
Trademarks that are descriptive and have achieved distinction through sales and advertising can be protected under federal and state law.
One trademark legally conflicts with another when the use of both trademarks is likely to confuse customers about the products or services, or their source.
In case of a legal conflict with a later user, the first commercial user of a trademark owns it.
If a legal conflict is found to exist, the later user will probably have to stop using the mark and may even have to pay the trademark owner damages.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison cheerleading worked with three local high school squads this past weekend at an event hosted by Stuart Hall School in Staunton. In attendance were Stuart Hall, United Christian Academy and Faith Christian.
The JMU Cheerleaders taught the squads how to get the crowd going and critiqued each squad's performance to make them more effective.
"Having the opportunity to be someone that all of the teams and coaches looked up to for advice and knowledge, and to be a representative of not only James Madison University, but our national champion cheerleading team, was the most rewarding part of it all," said senior Stephanie La Testa.
Come see the national champions Sunday when JMU women's basketball hosts Delaware for a Pink Out at 2 p.m. in the Convocation Center.

Write a tea journal, see what others are drinking and get recommendations from people you trust. Sign Up or Learn More
I change icons often, apologies. On that note, they are usually Doctor Who related (so no, that is not me pictured in the icon, it is most likely one of the Doctors).
A tea-drinking transgendered Canadian, currently in the third year of college, majoring in geology (yes, "rocks and things"). I take most of my tea made straight into a mug, although occasionally if I'm not in a hurry (this isn't often), I'll have time to sit down with a pot. It's the highlight of a good day if I have time for a pot.
My notes and reviews will often sound dis-jointed, repetitive and confused, as usually I don't work on them as a whole, but rather add notes as I sip without rereading what I've already typed.
On most occasions I won't take my tea with anything (I reserve milk for chai). Occasionally agave nectar if I want to test to see if it'll smooth it out. Chais I will make with either the nectar or honey. Although on occasion I will sweeten unflavoured blacks the Russian way—with jam or jelly. Occasionally I will take it instead with a slice of a citrus fruit. Normally orange, occasionally lemon if I have any on hand.
When I was a kid, I used to experiment by ripping open bags of Tetley's and stuffing in extra ingredients.
I prefer Earl Grey, and a good friend of mine (who considers himself a great tea enthusiast) hates me because of it. I cannot explain his irrational hatred of bergamot.
Also, I am a Doctor Who fanatic. As one may have noticed by my icons. For the record, my favourite Doctor is number three, Jon Pertwee.

VOLTA10 Basel
June 1621, 2014
Basel's renowned art fair for new and emerging art.
Markthalle // Basel, Switzerland
VOLTA is Basel's renowned platform for presenting the vision of contemporary art galleries of global prestige whose artists represent new and relevant positions for curators and collectors alike.
Encouraged by the response of collectors and curators during the last editions solo presentations and carefully considered booths, a much stronger emphasis for VOLTA will be placed on single artist presentations or on booth concepts that bring the work of two artists into dialogue with one another, thus giving emphasis to artists by allowing for a greater understanding of different individual practices.
VOLTA was co-founded by three dealers, Kavi Gupta, Friedrich Loock and Uli Voges, and art critic Amanda Coulson in 2005.
The most impressive art fair on the planet.
TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY, Osaka (first-time exhibitor)
It is a real pleasure to participate in an art fair that A: attracts major international collectors; B: maintains quality control over exhibitors; C: does so professionally and amicably. The VOLTA crew care about what happens and they know how to get the job done and get it done well.
We can't thank you enough for your professional and gloriously stunning fair!
We had a great experience at VOLTA this year with all of our sales going to new people and we have lots of new contacts to follow up. Thank you to you and all the VOLTA team.
I just wanted to write and thank you for including us in VOLTA in what for us proved a very good fair from many points of view we sold several works, gained some good commissions for Bettina and made some great new contacts. We loved the fair and so many of the other booths; your staff were all incredibly helpful and a great cafe too!
I would like to thank you all, Team VOLTA, for a well organized fair with a lot of interesting contacts, sales and good perspectives for the future. You all made it happen again!

Intel Merrifield MID Support Landing In Linux 3.14

Linux Kernel
2 Comments
The latest
Linux 3.14 kernel
activity is the Intel MID update.
The Intel MID (Mobile Internet Device) platform updates for the Linux 3.14 kernel include supporting Merrifield and Clovertrail platforms. Clovertrail has been around for a while but Merrifield is Intel's new smart-phone architecture focused on Android. Merrifield has a 22nm Atom SoC and it's expected to start appearing this quarter.
More details on the 64-bit Intel Merrifield for high-end x86_64 smart-phones are expected next month during the always-interesting Mobile World Congress. Intel began pushing
Merrifield Linux patches
a few months ago.

Beginning with firefly luciferase reporter gene assays, Promega has a long history of producing assays in which bioluminescence is the output signal. We have expanded our luminescent technology to include a wide variety of assays for measuring different biochemical or cellular activities including apoptosis, cell viability, kinase activity and toxicology. Here we introduce the GloMax® Integrated Luminescence Systems. The GloMax® Systems are composed of reagents, instruments, software and protocols all with a single, comprehensive support system. Because of the excellent sensitivity and broad dynamic range of the GloMax® 96 luminometers, these are state-of-the-art, yet easy-to-use instruments for measuring any luminescent signal. They are ideally suited to measure bioluminescent assays available from Promega. Here we describe the use of the GloMax® Luminometer to measure cell viability and caspase activity to highlight the integration between high-performance instrumentation and bioluminescent assays.

Atlas and Time Zones
An automatic entry by web site users is not possible. The difficulty is
that each town must be linked to one of nearly 4000 different time zone
history tables. In many areas of the world there has been a complex
time zone history where often nearby cities, counties or provinces have
had different time zones or daylight savings time rules in
the past. Only experts can assign the correct time zone history table for each
new town, by comparing the new entry to the rest of the database.

Know Your Literature – Keeping Up With The Kard… uhh… New Books.
28/02/2011 § 18 Comments
Thanks to our dear friend Lauren Gibaldi for another great guest post.
The role of librarian has expanded from simply helping people find books. But still – a good majority of patrons visit the library for just that – books. While it's impossible to know every single novel out there, I think it's smart to know what's popular, what's up-and-coming, and what many people may be asking about. (Of course, this goes a bit beyond library school, and more so into the job category, but it's never to early to start paying attention to literature, right?)
So which books should you get familiar with?
- Award-winners
- Similarly, ones getting a ton of buzz
- New York Times best sellers
- Any Oprah pick (Okay, her book club is about to end, but brush up on her previous picks.)
- Ones being turned into films or TV shows
- Anything that will be released by a big name
- Celebrity books
How to learn about these titles
- Keep up with awards once they're announced. (i.e. Pulitzer, Man-Booker…) There's the Caldecott Medal for children's books, and YALSA has a ton of awards for young adult books.
- Check out book columns from the New York Times, NY Magazine, New Yorker, and more. A good time to do this would be towards the end of the year, when everyone is creating a "best of" list. Also, keep up with prominent book blogs. (While Freedom by Jonathan Franzen was the BIG award-winner of last year, Room by Emma Donoghue was immensely popular.)
- While it doesn't change dramatically each week, the list, which is featured on the newspaper's website, is good to browse every now and then. (For fiction, a lot of books will overlap with the previous few categories. For non-fiction, any presidential memoir will be on the list easily).
- Oprah has her list of winners on her website. She's the only person I've ever known to have Faulkner sell out in a bookstore.
- After True Blood came out, tons of people flocked for the Sookie Stackhouse series. If a show or movie is getting a ton of buzz, look to see if it has a literary counterpart.
- Keep up with publishing company blogs. They're not shy about showcasing their new releases. Some even have specific library-related blogs.
- Did you know half of the cast of Jersey Shore has book deals? And they (for some reason) sell? Yeah, know about them.
I actually love keeping up with books, so for me, this is an fun task. By just monitoring a few blogs, it's easy to know what's hot within the publishing world. It really helps, especially when someone comes in asking for "that book that's going to be a movie with the girl from Glee in it."*
* I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
§ 18 Responses to Know Your Literature – Keeping Up With The Kard… uhh… New Books.
This is so timely! In my reference class this morning we had a lecture on reader's advisory.
I'm considering doing the "Five Book Challenge" (from Saricks' "Guide to Genre Fiction") to really start getting serious about RA.
This is a great listserv to subscribe to for RA:
I always feel I do better RA when I've actually read the books myself, but I love all the links for keeping up (when you don't have time to actually *read*!).
Great blogpost – thanks!

Mr.Java is a Java IDE that is one step above a command line interface, but not quite as confusing as an IDE. It will compile for you, add libraries to your class path, and run the whole thing, with three simple buttons. Drag a library or Java source file over the window, and it will be put in the right folder. When running programs, the stout is written to a file cleverly named "stdout", and the std err is cleverly written to file named - you guessed - stderr.
