It truly is a great place to work out. – My introduction to Body Maxx was a gift certificate of 10 sessions with a trainer to help me get back in shape after having my baby. That baby is now 8 years old and I've LOVED going to Body Maxx ever since. When my 10 sessions were all used up, I realized that I did not want to return to my old gym. I had found a place where my body had made a healthy and noticeable transformation and surroundings that made working out something I actually ' wanted ' to do and not dread.
As I mentioned before, I have been going to Body Maxx for 8 years, and it truly is a great place to work out. I have had the great privilege to have Boba as my trainer. She works you out hard, but she takes the time to see that you do everything safely and correctly and she really pays attention to what your individual needs are. I'm always amazed at how quickly our sessions go and yet so much went into them and I feel like I accomplished something when they are over. ALL the trainers at Body Maxx are professional and top notch.
The gym itself has a great feel to it. It's bright and airy and clean and everyone is very friendly and yet respectful of your space. It's never too crowded, so I always am able to work out on whatever machine I want to that day. Parking has never been an issue. I just pull in, park my car, easily walk in and work out and am on my way again an hour later. It's in a perfect location with many healthy restaurants and shops around.
I feel very fortunate to have found Body Maxx. I lost my weight and got really strong and healthy working out there. If you're tired of the big, noisy and impersonal gyms and you're looking for a place that's a little smaller where you can get a great work out in a supportive atmosphere and leave with a smile on your face - then check out Body Maxx. Working out may be hard, but being at Body Maxx makes it more pleasurable.
NICE PEOPLE – The people here are passionate about sports and that?s always a good sign. The staff was very friendly and was able to answer my questions I had for my nephew and his up an coming game. They were able to give great advice and I really appreciated it. The prices are fair so this makes for a great store.
Worked for me, worked for my family – I tried everything I could think of to lose a substantial amount of
weight, and nothing worked for me until I started training with Boba
from Body Maxx. I'm not trying to say that everything else is a lost
cause, and this is the only place that works. Not at all. Finding
what works for you can be a very difficult, draining, discouraging
process, but when you finally do, it's such an amazing feeling. Body
Maxx worked for me, and I've since brought my entire family (two
daughters ages 21, 28 and one son age 25...my wife will be starting
this year after I'm through talking to her!) and they all had success
there. To each his own, but it never hurts to try for yourself, and I
really urge anyone who's looking to lose weight or get in shape to
stop by and check it out. Really made a huge difference in my life.
Like Floss for the Brain – Exercise is like dental floss for the brain. It's not easy
(especially at first) and in the beginning, it can be downright
painful and depressing. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying
to be supportive, but isn't being totally honest!
That said, it's still essential for you, no matter what age you are
and what your life situation is. Exercise can only improve your life!
And if you're going to take the journey, you might as well work with
the best tools.
Body Maxx is a small gym, but it has what much larger gyms often lack-
it's relaxing, never too crowded, and has a very friendly vibe that
makes you happy to be there working out. I've worked with Boba, the
owner, for several years now, and I'll give her the best compliment I
can possibly give- she's worth what she charges. I can't say that
about many things in life (who can?) but when you find something that
delivers what they promise, it's exciting.
Parking is convenient, the location is good (right next to a couple
sushi restaurants and near some big malls!) and you will get in shape.
And as painful as it is in the beginning, it's one of the greatest
feelings in the world. Highly recommended!
The BEST gym! (no exaggeration!) – I don't know about you, but I've never been the kind of person that wakes up in the morning and just can't wait to jump out of bed and rush over to the gym to "get fit". When I did manage to drag myself to the gym, I found another battle that often deterred me - machines that didn't work, were dirty or unavailable. Trainers that were too busy being "cool" to care that my form was poor, or who were incompetent and didn't know that my form was poor. Clients (and sometimes staff) who were more interested in checking people out than working out. It's hard enough to get to the gym without adding all of these factors to it.
Body Maxx is on a completely different level! It's amazing! Who would have thought that there was a place where people genuinely care about your health and fitness. The equipment there is state of the art, clean AND available. The trainers are friendly and are experts at the top of their field. The clients are supportive and just frickin awesome people! It really makes you feel like you're part of a community rather than just another schlub paying your membership dues where no one cares if you come or not. I'm more inspired and motivated about my health and fitness than I've ever been and I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm so grateful that I discovered this place!!
Run, don't walk, to this gym – Body Maxx and Boba, owner/trainer, and her healthy concepts have been a part of our lives for over 20 years now. She hand picks the trainers which is why she has a loyal cadre of them, some there over 20 years as well.
The trainers actually develop personalized workouts taking into consideration personal wishes and limitations. It's not about you living up to the trainer's expectations; rather, it's about the trainer helping you live up to your own expectations. You don't turn your body over to them - they help you take control of your own body.
The gym clientele is a fascinating mix of professionals - younger and older - and even though your appointment may be only an hour, plan on two because of the interesting discussions always happening at the gym
A New Me – I am outdoors gal. Always has been. The thought of going to a gym as a Californian never made a lick of sense to me. I'd power walk, hike, run, or surf, whatever my schedule would allow me to do. But curiously, while I felt the cardio vascular activity was a significant source of exercise, my body, and expanding figure told a different story. As I approached 35, inches became impossible to lose. Pounds piled on. A friend of mine, who is polar opposite of me (would rather have a roof over her head then sky) finally encouraged me to meet her trainer Boba at Body Maxx. While my friend is not necessarily athletic, her strength, physique, posture and confidence impressed me, always. I always assumed she was just "built that way". I began training with Boba over 18 months ago. The combination of cardio (just 30 minutes!) and weights/resistance training was the solution that evaded me for so long. I NEVER KNEW! The gym is intimate, the staff and regular attendees are like family. We encourage each other day in and day out. Boba and Body Maxx are so important to the quality of my life and the smile on my face.
Changed My Life. – I've been an athlete my entire life and was always thankful for the fitness benefits that the competitive sports automatically provided. When I graduated from college and my athletic life changed due to work and other responsibilities, I found my fitness slipping away. Although... I'd like to think I maintained some sort of regimen all these years.
But it wasn't until I joined Body Maxx gym at the urging of a few friends that I realized it was all an illusion. My cardio and strength honestly just weren't the same. It was a rude awakening, if you will.
With the training expertise, commitment, genuine care and support of the owner, and my trainer, Boba Andric I truly not only feel, but am, stronger than I have been in more than a decade.
The gym is small, intimate, fun and private (which is why I'm guessing celebs like to come here). But once you commit to going, you start to see the same people, and build a comraderie with them.
I am a Body Maxx devotee for life.
Small Gym, Huge Results – Definitely NOT your basic cookie cutter gym (like Ballys or 24hr Fitness) Friendly atmosphere with staff who are knowledgeable and eager to help you achieve your goals, whether you're just getting back in shape, or training for a film or event. The trainers are interested in you succeeding in your goals. My results are obvious and undeniable!
Excellent facility and trainers – I am not a "gym-rat' by any means, but the conditions and support at Bodymaxx make it possible for me to stick to an exercise and diet regimen that I would otherwise probably never keep.
The personal attention is first-rate, the facilities clean and inviting; the staff totally knowledgeable and support; and the results clear.
I highly recommend them for anyone at any level wanting to improve physically

IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database product is a large database server product commonly used for higher end databases. For more information, visit http://ibm.com/db2/
Local exploitation of a file creation vulnerability in IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database could allow attackers to elevate privileges to the superuser.
This vulnerability exists due to unsafe file access from within several setuid-root binaries. Specifically, when supplying the DB2INSTANCE environment variable, the setuid-root DB2 administration binaries will use the home directory of the specified user for loading configuration data. This allows attackers create or append to arbitrary files by creating a specific executing environment. Additionally, the user's umask settings will be honored allowing the creation of root-owned world-writable files.
Successful exploitation allows a local attacker to gain root privileges.
It should be noted that the attacker does not appear to have a great deal of control over the contents of the data written. However, this does not significantly impact exploitation.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability within IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database 9.1 release installed on Linux. Other versions are suspected to be vulnerable as well.
This vulnerability does not affect DB2 Universal Database running on the windows platform.
The best defense against this type of vulnerability is to prevent untrusted users from having code execution abilities on the respective database server. The following workarounds also have value.
Use a more strict permissions setting for the DB2 instance directory would prevent non-instance users from accessing the setuid-root binaries.
Remove the setuid bit from all programs included with DB2.
These configuration changes have not been tested and may cause adverse behavior.
IBM Corp. has addressed this vulnerability within IBM Universal Database DB2 9 Fixpack 2. For more information, consult the corresponding IBM APAR #IY94817 by visiting the following URL.

Juventus, fans convincing against Siena
Considering Juventus' recent form and Siena's ability to play with both pace and technique, Sunday's match against Antonio Conte's old club carried with it a few dangers. But a convincing performance by the Italian champions not only demonstrated the vast difference in quality between the sides, but highlighted how effective Juve's midfield can be when not properly closed down. Walking away with a 3-0 victory, Juventus now boast a seven-point lead at the top of the Serie A table over Napoli, who play on Monday.
- Serie A: Juventus open up seven-point gap
- Highlights: Juventus 3-0 Siena (UK & Ireland)
Juventus Stadium was particularly noisy with fans chanting "Juve!" at every opportunity to get the team going. After Conte criticised the lack of noise from the fans this season, he demanded an atmosphere similar to that of last season's that helped to push the team forward in a remarkable year. The fans duly responded and wilfully cheered the team for the entirety of the match. Their actions paid off and Conte went up to thank them afterward alongside several of the Bianconeri players.
Siena were surprising in how unambitious they were at the start. Seemingly accepting the fact they do not possess the quality to take on Juventus, they allowed the champions to dominate, especially in the first half.
Rarely pressing to win the ball back, not only did Siena invite pressure from their opponents, but limited their own opportunities going forward. Hoping to soak up the pressure before counter-attacking, Juventus instead focused on making the most of the time they had on the ball.
Whether it was Andrea Pirlo's interesting lobs forwards or Leonardo Bonucci's uninterrupted dribbles towards the final third, Siena made no effort to regain possession and catch the Old Lady off guard.
Instead of disrupting Juve's rhythm, the Robur allowed the home side to easily play the ball out from the back and rarely managed to close down Juve's more technical players. Struggling in particular with Mirko Vucinic's movement, the Juventus attacker had a great first half as he drifted in between the lines and produced key passes to create goal-scoring opportunities. It was his through-ball that eventually found Stephan Lichtsteiner to produce Juve's first goal.
With only 30 percent possession in the first half, Siena barely had time to construct attacking passages. Any creative movements initiated by their more technical players were quickly shut down by the Juventus midfield that barely missed the absence of dynamic midfielder Arturo Vidal.
On the other hand, the Old Lady played an assured game in the first 45 minutes. Adopting a direct approach, they created several chances in front of goal, only to see several squandered in true Juve fashion.
The second half started rather poorly for the Bianconeri, who struggled with precision, allowing Siena to start brightly. The visitors took greater command, had more time on the ball and were quick to react to Juve errors.
Innocent Emeghara, who could barely affect the game in the early stages, began getting the service he required, creating a few good opportunities.
However, wonderfully well-timed tackles and interceptions from Andrea Barzagli, in addition to several impressive saves from the ever-alert Gianluigi Buffon ensured the Old Lady kept another clean sheet.
Claudio Marchisio especially played a great match contributing to both sides. Always on hand to make well-timed runs from midfield to exploit gaps in Siena's defence, his defensive work proved more essential as he tracked back to close down space and limit Siena's movements.
The win was essential for the Old Lady's confidence, especially after her loss to Roma last weekend. While a clean sheet was important, Conte will be particularly happy the players who were one yellow card from missing the match against Napoli ensured their presence in Friday's key game.
The pressure is on for Napoli to respond Monday when they visit Udinese.

|Heads Up Jan 4: Robot tails, delicate sabre teeth and nanocircuits
New insight from Antarctic thermal vents
PLoS Biology
Expeditions to little-explored hydrothermal vents on the seafloor near Antarctica have revealed whole communities of new species living near them - the first time these high-latitude vents have been explored in detail. In addition, some species common to hydrothermal vents in other parts of the world, such as tube worms, aren't found at these vents. This suggests that the southern ocean may represent a barrier for some vent species, possibly explaining why hydrothermal vents in different oceans have different species assemblages.
An extra-terrestrial quasi-crystal
Scientists say they have found a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite in Russia whose rocks are arranged in a quasicrystalline form - a special kind of pattern that is regular but not repeating, and previously thought possible only in synthetic substances. Scientists say the rock's composition could only have come from very high pressure like a meteorite impact, and if confirmed, would mean that quasicrystals not only occur naturally in astronomical conditions, but can be stable over very long periods of time.
Twenty-one musicians who participated in a double blind experiment and were asked to play a violin for whose origin was unknown to them, rated the sound produced by newer quality violins as good or better than old violins by Stradivarius and Guarneri. The experiment was done with experienced violinists at the Eighth International Violin Competition in Indianapolis.
When treating children and adolescents with eating disorders, how should doctors decide on the 'expected' body weight - the healthy weight they should be at for their height? A group of researchers studied three methods (Body Mass Index, the Moore method and McLaren method,) and concluded that of those three, the BMI scale is the preferred indicator.
Bigger limbs prevent sabre rattling
A paper finds that ancient species that had sabre teeth also had thicker forelimbs than similar species without sabre teeth. They think this may be because sabre teeth, however fearsome-looking, are actually more easily broken than shorter, thicker canines. Sabretoothed predators would have relied more on upper-forelimb strength than their non-sabre toothed cousins to overpower and bring down prey.
Tails could help robots keep it stable
Robots that move through tricky environments, such as those on search and rescue missions, could be more stable if they had tails. Inspired by leaping Agama lizards that use tails to balance in the air, researchers constructed "Tailbot", a robot with a range of removable tails, and studied how the tail affected stability as the robot flew off a ramp. Comparing observations of Tailbot with those of live lizards, they concluded that tails help as a dynamic stabilizer during irregular motions ( such as a leap). Video and images are available.
Monkey virus could fight Hep C
Science Translational Medicine
Researchers have found that a group of viruses present in monkeys could be used in a vaccine against hepatitis C in humans. There's no currently available Hep C vaccine. Audio and visuals are available, and an associated comment by ⚑ Canadian Michael Houghton can be found here.
Herpes still spreads with antivirals

Even with high doses of currently available antiviral drugs, those with herpes simplex virus Type 2 still shed the virus at transmissible levels from their skin during symptom-free episodes. Evidence suggests that new therapies are needed not only to combat outbreaks but also to prevent transmission of the HS2 virus to partners of infected people who may believe they are sufficiently protected by these drugs.
Neural stem cells in the eye of the beholder
Cell Stem Cell
A layer of cells found behind the retina of the eye can be reprogrammed to become adult neural stem cells, researchers have found. Patients undergoing stem cell therapy in the central nervous system may therefore have a potential source of stem cells right in their own eyes.
Man's best friend for a reason
Current Biology
Dogs are more likely to listen to a person who expresses an intent to communicate, either through eye contact or a verbal address, than to those who don't. Authors of a new study suggest that this level of social understanding is akin to the behavior of a 6-month to 2-year old child, and may be one of the reasons why humans feel a close kinship with canines.
Evolution's not just in the genes
Octopuses live in a range of water temperatures worldwide - and some of the cellular adaptations that allow them to survive in cold water don't appear to be controlled by their DNA, but rather stem from edits to their RNA, according to a new study. This shows that RNA editing can be a response to evolutionary pressure that keeps the genes the same but allows the species a diversity of responses to the environment.
A big problem for nano-scale circuits is that as materials shrink, quantum effects are expected to interfere with their ability to effectively conduct a charge, making them a challenge to engineer. A new nano-scale circuit has been designed using nano-wires coated with single phosphorous atoms, carrying a current just as effectively as ones made with copper wires.
Ants of the genus Pheidole posess genes that produce a special kind of 'supersoldier' caste - ants whose heads grow so enormous, the colony uses them to guard tunnel entrances and protect against intruders. But ant populations rarely produce supersoldiers in nature. Researchers - including several Canadians - prompted the supersoldier genes to activate and the trait to appear by applying hormones to juveniles, showing how species can maintain the genes for traits they no longer exhibit, perhaps to help them quickly evolve if needed.

A series of three papers is published in The Lancet this week on drug addiction worldwide. One paper, coauthored by Canadian researchers, says that few drug policies are evidence-based but that new interventions show promise in harm reduction.

One of the more common ways that a batsman can be given out, leg before wicket (lbw) is a bit like the offside rule in football – it's difficult to understand and you can spend ages trying to explain it!
Here are some key pointers to help you get your head around those tricky decisions…
1. An umpire can only give a batsman out lbw if there is an appeal. This is why you'll hear many shouts of 'howzat?' during a game. If you don't ask, you won't get.
2. The umpire must be certain that the ball is going to hit the wicket. The batsman always gets the benefit of the doubt when the umpire is unsure, which results in a lot of bowlers looking puzzled and scratching their heads.
3. You may have seen a 'red zone', an imaginary line between wicket and wicket, on television pictures. This is because, if the batsman was playing a shot, the ball must have hit him within this zone for him to be given out. However, if he was NOT playing a shot, he can be out if it hit him outside the zone.
4. The batsman cannot be given out if the ball pitches (bounces) outside the line (that red zone again) of leg-stump.
5. The ball must have struck pad first. If it hit the bat before the pad, the batsman is not out. It's not 'bblbw' (bat before leg before wicket). That would be too confusing!

Dear Ms. Barbara Sweeney:
I am a licensed insurance professional and I sell vaiable products.
The NASD's proposal for specific suitability and disclosure on the sale of Variable Annuities (VA's) is both redundant and uneccessary.
I firmly believe that those that engage in misleading sales practices should be aggressively prosecuted. Enforce existing regulations!
Prospectuces already disclose fees, risks, and expenses associated with VA's. The NASD needs to educate the consumer to carefully read the prospectuces they receive. Finally, the proposal appears to be a "solution in search of a problem". The level of sales problems in the VA marketplace in minimal and does not support the claims made by the NASD. I urge the NASD to withdraw the proposed rule.

Kenmore >Adult and Continuing Education > City A1 Driving School Inc
1416 Kenmore Ave, Buffalo, NY | Directions 1421642.958458 -78.870404
Neighborhoods: Kenmore
Abdul is a very good instructor who is extremely nice and a very likable person. His methods are very good and I learned a lot from his courses. Highly recommended!!!
I passed my first road test and the driver instructor was extremely helpful and made sure I was ready before I took the road test.
The lessons were quite decent. I had 5 with James, and 1 with Abdul. I found Abdul to be more amicable (may be cuz I was a decent driver by then!). Pretty much all of the stuff asked to do in a road test were covered. So I'd say a good experience learning to drive from them.
overpriced, there are many places $5 or more cheaper for each lesson, so it will save a lot by going to other places if you take a lot lessons
Im clad I took lesson here – I'm 20 yr old and I took my 5 hr course, 10 lessons and 2 road test with City A1 driving school.... and it was really worth every penny.... Abdul really took the time to make sure I had the skills needed for diving and was ready and self insured for my road test.... I didn't do as well as Abdul and I knew I could the 1st time. The 2nd time I PASSED with flying colors... and new self essteem thanks to him... and I will be going back for their 6 hr course for my insurances...
So thanks City A1 driving school I'm clad I called you...
The BEST. – I took 8 driving classes with Abdul who is the best teacher I could ask for. Abdul made things very simple for me, he really took the time to help me become a good driver and I passed my road test just two days ago and now i'm looking to buy my first car.
Thank you very much.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE – We took only one class from this instructor and the experience was pathetic. He is DISCOURTEOUS and doesn't give feedback about your driving within the time you paid for and is completely ILL MANNERED. I sincerely recommend everyone to stay away from this driving school. Sugges Buffalo Driving school instead.
Bad experience – First driver was mean and i couldn't understand him because of his heavy accent, so i couldn't learn much. After a few lessons, i switched to another driver. She was also mean and didn't show up for the appointed lesson not once but twice! When i called about the problem, they argued with me. Needless to say, I canceled the rest of my lessons.

Home » Candice Michelle » Tour
Candice Michelle
Real Name
Candice Beckman
Date of Birth
September 30, 1978
Place of Birth
On WWE Main Event, Hornswoggle teamed up with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, which has caused some speculations to arise. Rumors over the past several weeks have stated that Heath Slater was unhappy backstage because he was not receiving a push. However, his absence on this show was unrelated, as Slater missed the show because he is heading to Saudi Arabia for a tour with WWE.
April 17, 2014
Even though he is one of the more known performers in the company, WWE is allowing Batista to skip out on the Saudi Arabia tour taking place this week. The belief when the former world heavyweight champion was brought back was that he would help with global marketing due to his history in the company and being a movie star.
April 16, 2014
When several of the WWE stars take off for Saudi Arabia this week, Sami Zayn will be joining them. He's the only developmental wrestler going on the tour. WWE wanted to get a better look at him, and some backstage feel that he might have some marketing appeal overseas. There are still rumors floating around that Zayn could be one of the WWE NXT stars to be called up to the main roster in the coming weeks.
April 16, 2014
Since he is currently on his honeymoon with Brie Bella, Daniel Bryan is not on the list of WWE stars who are heading over to Saudi Arabia this week for a quick tour. Management event allowed him to skip Monday Night Raw and Smackdown this week, despite being the world heavyweight champion. He is expected to be be with WWE by next Monday.
April 16, 2014
Since they really are best friends in real life, Trish Stratus and Lita have decided to capitalize on that relationship by doing a tour together. The former WWE divas will be hitting up various locations across the country to meet with fans and sign autographs. Aside from generating an income, the two of them will get a chance to spend some time together on the road as well.
April 16, 2014
While he is not quite a full time performer for the company, Rob Van Dam has opted to head to Europe with WWE for a tour in May. There will be an episode of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown taped in London during this stretch, so most of the performers in WWE will be on hand for the tour. Rumors have it that RVD will be sticking around for a couple of months like last time.
April 15, 2014
Earlier today, it was reported that Paul London was heading to Europe for a tour, and it has now been revealed that Brian Kendrick is joining him. The former WWE stars have been booked by a promotion called Southside Wrestling, where they will be working a show next weekend. No word yet on whether or not London and Kendrick will be teaming together or facing one another.
March 23, 2014
Even though he has not been with WWE for several years now, Paul London still maintains a good amount of name value in the global wrestling industry. The former tag team champion is heading back to Europe this week, where he will be working independent wrestling shows in England and other countries. He recently did a tour of Spain as well.
March 23, 2014
In a rather interesting story that made the news, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt were at a grocery store in England, where they are working a tour, when they were spotted by a wrestling fan named Phill Maher. He invited the former TNA stars to his house to have tea, and surprisingly enough, both of them agreed to do so.
March 22, 2014
Since he lives a fairly simple life, Daniel Bryan has long refused to get a tour bus like the other top WWE stars. However, with quite a bit of convincing from Brie Bella, the diva whom he is set to marry next month, Bryan has changed his mind and will be acquiring one on the next episode of Total Divas. Expect scenes to be filmed on the bus throughout the season.
March 19, 2014
After performing for NASCAR with her band in Las Vegas, Lilian Garcia was back home in Los Angeles relaxing before rejoining WWE on the tour. The longtime announcer revealed through this Twitter post that she was awaken by the earthquake that hit California early in the morning on Monday.
March 18, 2014
After being absent for quite a few weeks, the Great Khali has made his return to WWE, joining the live events tour this weekend. He was paired up with Brodus Clay, who has been spending time in developmental. Khali was given the victory. The former world heavyweight champion has not worked a televised match since the first Monday Night Raw of the year.
March 17, 2014
While a lot of people would love to see him back on Impact Wrestling, it appears that Sonjay Dutt has been doing rather well for himself on the independent wrestling circuit. Over the last couple of weeks, he has been booked on both sides of the United States. The former TNA star also has a tour scheduled for England very soon as well.
March 11, 2014
While he is not utilized on television as frequently as he used to be, Booker T is still employed by WWE, and the company is putting him to work this week. Management has chosen him to do a promotional tour overseas in Australia. He will be meeting with fans and promoting the upcoming tour that the company has scheduled in August.
March 10, 2014
A couple of weeks ago, Shelton Benjamin revealed to fans on Twitter that he was a fast healer. Well, he was not kidding. Benjamin has just announced that he is heading back overseas to do a tour for New Japan. He is leaving the United States some time next week. The former WWE star had surgery back in January for an injured elbow.
March 5, 2014
After taking a much needed break to heal up his body, Shannon Moore has now started training again, and he has stated that he would like to make a come back to professional wrestling. His good friends Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy and Shane Helms recently drew in a packed house at an independent wrestling show, so a group tour could be an option.
February 28, 2014
Considering how much of a powerful figure the Great Muta is in Japan, it's not a bad idea to get in on his good side if you want to make a name for yourself in that country. Rob Terry has apparently been able to do just that, as he has now been given the honors of teaming up with the former WCW star during the first series of Wrestle-1 tour.
February 28, 2014
After spending a few weeks resting in the United States, Rob Terry is back in Japan, where he is working the first ever tour for Wrestle-1. He noted on Twitter that he has been given the honor of teaming up with the Great Muta. Terry is expected to be there for a few weeks, and he might make an appearance when TNA stars show up in March.
February 26, 2014
While he has not worked a match on Impact Wrestling since October, Garett Bischoff still remains with TNA. He is still under contract to them. Bischoff has been working independent wrestling shows across the country, and he has some interest in heading to New Japan for a tour. He has also publicly stated that he would like to be back on television for TNA as well.
February 25, 2014
Even though he was not booked for Elimination Chamber 2014, Big Show is still very much in contention for a coveted match at Wrestlemania 30. Right now, WWE simply had nothing for him from the creative department. Plus, he replaced the Great Khali on an overseas promotional tour of India. He should be back on television soon.
February 24, 2014
Through Twitter, Candice Michelle revealed that she attended the Keith Sweat concert. She also posted this rather sensual picture of herself and a friend outside the venue. The former WWE diva is wearing a tight leather shirt.
February 15, 2014
About seven years ago, Candice Michelle had her nose broken after taking a headbutt from Beth Phoenix. The former WWE diva has now decided to get that fix by going in for surgery. She noted that she was able to breathe a lot better afterwards.

Future – Fettuccine Lyrics
[Hook: Future]
I got that fettuccine on me, I got that fettuccine
I got that fettuccine on me, I got that fettuccine
I got that fettuccine on me, now I spend it quick
Ain't fuck up on the cash with my bitch
I got that fettuccine on me, I got that fettuccine
I got that fettuccine on me, I got that fettuccine
I got that fettuccine on me, now I spend it quick
Order up that Lambo, put me on the list
[Verse One: Future]
Order up the Lamborghini, put me on the list
All the fettuccine, I can clone a bad bitch
Take her out of Bakers, now she shop at Jeffrey's
I'm on a roll, getting money, got a bad recession
What type of nigga you know in the middle of the hood worth some tickets?
What type of nigga you know sell out shows play with fishes?
Gucci, Louie, Prada, that's the way a nigga kick it
I got a whole bird on me, nothing to be specific
Ice, ice, ice like I jumped in the Pacific water
Money, money, money and that shit coming in digits
I got 50 cent on me on my way to Walt Disney
That's a whole 50 racks, young nigga with the business
[Verse Two: Pusha T]
I got that fettuccine on me, tell me what you see
You can't be in Aldo standing next to me
Out them bitches pronto, out that R&B
Hit Paris for that poncho, the G's sound like Z's
Givenchy, veuve cli, menage a trois, c'est la vie
I sell it all, he mail it all
Slow gift wrap, need a Christmas card
Champagne pour, I christen y'all
You niggas hating
I'm lifting off in private jets
We peeling out
In them Porsche Panameras that we wheeling out
[Verse Three: Emilio Rojas]
I look a bitch in her ass 'fore I look a bitch in her eye
I see the bitch in y'all swag, I give a fuck if y'all fly
I'm cheap though, I'm staying paid, I'mma make it rain
And I'mma take the train, I'm Latino, got razor blades
Okay chico but it ain't to shave, I got pesos, I got pesos
Bad hoes by the caseload and she gonna get a face full
And she gonna get a face full so pardon if the kid narcissistic
I'm shining bright, it'd be hard to miss it, I heard y'all in Target
Thrifting while I'm buying out the whole Garment District
No room in the whole room, don't clean clothes
I hit show room, she's anorexic, no food
So it's half the check up in Noble, I got bad habits and good habits
Cheat a lot cause I'm good at it, fuck a bitch for her bank account
When I'm done with it, the whole hood have it

free beef winners in quincy
Quincy residents Cathy Wilburn and Samantha Rick were two of the lucky 1,500 winners who each received $500 worth of free beef in Les Schwab Tires' customer appreciation beef giveaway. Quincy tire store owners Ron and Stephanie Horton said this promotion started in 1964 to thank customers in small rural and ranching communities where the company had its first stores. Obviously, there is a reason why Les Schwab now has 432 locations in seven western states.

her french toast gets my vote
Stopped by the Beckwith Tavern the other day for a business meeting and breakfast. A frequent diner at the restaurant highly recommended I try the French toast so I did but in fairness I have to disclose I am not a French toast kind of guy. All I can say is wow! Restaurant owner/chef Valerie Maher said she uses some "secret ingredients" but when asked she wouldn't even begin to give me a clue and I certainly understand why. The restaurant is located on Highway 70 in Beckwourth and is currently open for breakfast and lunch (plans include dinner in the future) and it's worth the stop!

Brad Loomis, owner and operator of Healthy Bodies Fitness on Highway 70 next to the Chalet View Lodge near Portola, celebrates his 10th year in business this month.

Plumas Motor Supply and Radio Shack in Quincy celebrated its 12th anniversary in January under Ed Cammack's ownership. He bought it from his father Bill who moved to Plumas County in 1966 and purchased the auto parts business in 1986.

Even though owner Nanci Luce is not in town to help commemorate the occasion, the ladies at East Quincy's Shear Pleasure Day Spa — Dana Cowell, Stephanie Jay andMegan Brennan — are certainly proud their salon has been operating successfully since 1980!
Since 2003, Holly Callahan and company have been successfully pleasing the discriminating palates of their clientele at the very popular Pangaea Cafe and Pub on Main Street in Quincy's financial district.
James and Sara Koskinen opened Sierra Equipment and Truck Repair in Quincy on Lee Road four years ago. In that short period of time, James has rightfully earned a stellar reputation for his quality work repairing heavy equipment, primarily big trucks.

Stoke on Trent rock legend Slash has revealed that social networking site twitter helped him give up smoking.
The guitarist, who, during his entire career has almost never been seen without a cigarette between his lips (and a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand) made the admission during an interview with fasterlauder.com/au.
Slash said of twitter: "I love it! I hate the name of it though. It's such a stupid f****** name. If it was called something else it would be great.
"It's really cool to know where your fans are coming from. You can give out accurate information from the horse's mouth without relying on press releases and publications. And just being direct with them, without having to go through the hassles of meeting on the street, or having them come to my house!. It's very personal. I also realise that it's taken the place of smoking. I worked that out the other day, because it gives me something to do with my hands."
"It's been almost a year. I haven't been on the road as a non-smoker proper though, I don't know if I can handle it. I don't have any vices left now."
So there you have it - even the Slasher's taken up the social networking phenomenon (Catch him at: http://twitter.com/Slash)
Follow technobabble at: http://twitter.com/BenHurst
Oh - and get Slash's new album (released on May10 - it's great!)

About Steerpike
Seems like this could be grounds for an appeal.
I guess the question is whether the film really is a derivative work, and if it is not, does that mean anyone can make a film adaptation of a written work without permission because film adaptations aren't derivative works?
Sometimes, I'm convinced there is some justice in the world. This is one of those times.
Yes. I think once you've gone through the process you should be able to rely on a presumptive validity of the patent.
The problem is with the examination process, and that needs to be fixed. I think everyone knows the presumption of validity is a bit weak in reality, because the examination process isn't as good as it needs to be.
I guess my first point of attack in solving most of the problems with the patent system would be to focus on examination. If you can actually get to a point where the only patents that are getting allowed are the ones that should be, you take care of a lot of other issues in the process.
The reason they'd be at at disadvantage is because under the treaties you can rely on activities in the U.S. (such as a filing) to establish priority in foreign countries. If the U.S. unilaterally dissolved its patent system and exited the treaty, then businesses in countries all over the world would be able to rely on their domestic activities when going for patents in other countries (EU, China, Australia, Japan, India, or whatever), and U.S. countries would not. It wouldn't hurt the big, wealthy companies as much, for for smaller entities, being able to rely on activities in the U.S. and having that extended time period to go into foreign countries can be critical.
But I think we're both in agreement that big reforms are needed. While we're at it, I'd knock the copyright term down to something reasonable as well, but that's another thread :)
Yeah, you could do that, although to be honest, I think that given the time and expense of getting a patent, and the fact that you've gone through the examination process, there is a good argument that the patent should be presumed valid (i.e. that the patent office did it's job correctly). That's in a perfect world, though, and the USPTO is far from perfect. I'm not sure the presumption of validity gets you are far these days as it used to, though. I think courts and the PTO both recognize that while you should be able to rely on the quality of an examination, it's basically a fiction at this point.
Reform, maybe, if we can muster the political will. I don't see abolition any time soon. There are international treaties involved and no incentive for any one country to unilaterally withdraw and abandon a patent system, putting their own businesses at a disadvantage in the other countries that keep them. So you'd have to get all of the most economically important countries to get rid of patents together. Seems like a long way off, if ever.
On the other hand, we have our representatives in Congress that are supposed to handle this stuff, and that's where people should be focusing attention. I don't think the Supreme Court is going to eliminate software patents with a decision. Software has been patentable for some time in the U.S., and the Supreme Court would probably look at the fact that Congress hasn't acted as indicating a correct interpretation of statute. In fact, 35 U.S.C. 101, which define patentable subject matter, has been interpreted extremely broadly since a 1980 Supreme Court decision. So the Congress has had more than 30 years to do something about it and hasn't acted. They could eliminate software patents overnight, or place new restrictions on them, or whatever. And if we want to get rid of them, that's what Congress is supposed to do. I suspect the Supreme Court will take the view that unless Congress acts to eliminate them, there is no reason to disallow them.
Yes. Or at least, a problem with how prior art is searched and applied. I guess the big question is - how do you fix that? The sheer volume of prior art references is only going to go up. The patent examinations have to be done by a person who can't consider anywhere near the total amount of art out there, and if they can't find prior art to knock out a patent application they don't have much choice about letting it through.
I don't know how you fix that completely. It could certainly be improved. Some people might argue to just get rid of patents, but that's not a practical solution because there's no serious chance of that happening any time soon. So the big question, to me, is if we're going to have a patent system how do we deal with ever-growing numbers of applications and massive increases in the prior art, when you have a finite number of people sitting in the patent office trying to examine patent applications?
Yeah. That gets back to the searching problems. Some examiner's are just bad. But most of them aren't. The problem is, the only way they can decide whether one is deserved is by looking at the prior art in front of them and comparing it to what the applicant is claiming for patent. If they're missing important prior art, then the patent may get through. Part of the reason we have the kind of proceedings that Apple is involved in right now is because third parties often have a better incentive and better resources to find the best prior art out there. So, in a way, the system is set up to acknowledge that patents are going to get through that shouldn't, and the idea is that some of the bad ones will be caught in post-grant proceedings, or in court, or whatever.
Yeah, that does make searches harder, in all art areas though it seems especially problematic in software. In theory, vague or "indefinite" patent claims aren't supposed to get through the patent office either. They're supposed to be clear enough so that someone looking at it would have a reasonable understanding of whether they're within the claim scope. That's another area when bad examination causes problems, I suppose.
With respect to software, it's probably a good area for Congress to step into, but they don't seem to be willing to do it. So we'll stumble around a bit more while the courts try to figure it out.
Thanks. It wouldn't surprise me if that prediction turns out to be right!
I think my post was in plain English, but let me summarize it briefly for one who apparently can't make it out. There is nothing in my posts regarding software patents or whether they are good or bad. My only comment was directed to why patent Examiner's, in any art area, might miss prior art. I'm assuming you didn't follow any of that, since you went off on a tangent. Maybe you're just trolling. In any event, if you want to flail around further with whatever your mind invents upon reading a post, I doubt I'll be bothered to respond again. I also doubt you're a programmer, since most programmers I know pay better attention to detail than you've evidenced here.
Usually, if the patent falls, licensing deals are going to go down with it. There may be exceptions, depending on what the license says (though if there is even a question, I wouldn't want to be in the licensor's shoes).
I don't think Samsung is likely to get any of its legal expenses back. Have they paid any of the judgment at this point?
I've seen Examiner's do Google searches. It is not the best searching method. Some of the companies that do prior art searches have better electronic systems. Google and other web search engines run into the same issue of returning far more results than the patent examiner can go through.
No, Juan. That's why I said the term "evergreening" is really misleading. They can't recover the original subject matter, and from what I know of patents in India, that holds true there just like it does in the U.S.
Instead, when companies patent a trivial modification to a drug, they use the power of their branding, marketing, distribution, and so on to push that new version to prominence. The generic company can produce the original drug, but now you have an incentive for the doctors not to prescribe the "old" version and to go with the "improved" version instead, and on the improved version there is no generic competition.
I think the reason things get caught on re-exam is that the patent office has new art before it that it didn't catch the first time around. Sometimes, this is just the result of a bad examination the first time. Sometimes, it isn't. If you think of the vast scope of prior art out there (we're at what, over 8 million issued patents, who knows how many published applications, and literally uncounted masses of non-patent literature). There's no way that it is possible for the patent office to have reviewed all of the art that is out there before making a determination.
What we need is a better prior art search process that is able to focus the search and is more likely to pull up the relevant art. That's not as easy to do as it sounds, though, because given the bulk of prior art out there, even well-constructed electronic searches of the art are going to miss references that use different wording to describe the subject matter.
The patent office does let a lot of patents through that should never have made it (the one that was recently shot down on a mathematical formula should have been unpatentable subject matter from the outset), but sometimes they do a decent job with the art that is before them, and once the patentee tries to enforce the patent, the accused infringer spends a lot more time and money on searching and comes up with art the examiner didn't have.
Yes, they could. The pharma corps push doctors to prescribe the new version. Also, doctors are sometime more likely to do it for liability reasons. If the patient dies, they don't want to be sued for malpractice and asked why they were using the older version when there's a "new and improved version" on the market.
Yeah, but that wouldn't matter. If you eliminate elements from a patent claim, you don't infringe. So if a patent claim covers A, B, C, & D, you can make A, B, & C all you want without infringing. It's when you add D that you're in trouble.
Nevertheless, I think it is a good idea that courts look at these kind of incremental 'innovations' more closely to determine whether something truly inventive is going on or not. If not, no patent should be allowed.
Even if an "evergreen" patent goes through, can't the public still practice the claims of the original patent?
In other words, if a drug company patents a medicine having components A, B, and C, and then when that patent expires they get another patent for the medicine, but having components A, B, and C' (where C' is some modified version of C), then generic drug companies should still be able to produce a medicine having A, B, and C without infringing the new patent.
If you're talking about a private employer, the issues are not the same because there are no Constitutional protections at work. Remember, the Constitution constrains government action. If a public school district, or public official, or public employer does this sort of things, the First and Fourth Amendments come into play. If a private individual or employer does, the Constitution is not implicated and you have to rely on statutory or common law (to the extent it covers the act).
