Mark Gibbs, Contributor
I cover infotech, the science of tech, tech news and tech innovation
As if you needed more evidence that the US patent system is broken Apple has just been awarded one of the most ridiculous patents ever. The title? "Method for providing human input to a computer"
Here's the Abstract from the filing:
The invention provides a method for providing human input to a computer which allows a user to interact with a display connected to the computer. The method includes the steps of placing a first target on a first portion of the user's body, using an electro-optical sensing means, sensing data related to the location of the first target and data related to the location of a second portion of the user's body, the first and second portions of the user's body being movable relative to each other, providing an output of the electro-optical sensing means to the input of the computer, determining the location of the first target and the location of the second portion of the user's body, and varying the output of the computer to the display based upon the determined locations for contemporaneous viewing by the user.
It gets better; the patent claims …
1. The invention can provide a 3, 4, and 5 dimensional touch screen or graphics tablet. In other words, the x,y location of the touch, the force or depth of the touch, and the vector direction of the touch (2 angles).
Of course, there's no actual demonstration of this "5D" system and like so many modern patents this one amounts to a hand-waving (literally) exercise more along the lines of "what if" than anything concrete. Those issues aside, where's the novelty?
I wonder how this patent will stand up to challenges and, should Apple try to exert what has become its intellectual property, how well might they fare in court?
Ridiculous? When one thinks about it, this could be ridiculously brilliant.
But they haven't made anything even remotely like this yet, read the patent section "ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION". it kills innovation because who is going to try and make anything even remotely similar when they know apple is going to sue them? this is patent trolling plain and simple.
Not rediculous if you consider five fingertip targets and a camera.
make that a glove and touchscreen that doesn't need touch to determine the location of the targets in 3-D.
Since the Patent Office granted Apple the patent, it looks like those other technologies did not disqualify Apple's patent.
But prior art runs from the date of filing not from the date the patent is granted. Otherwise, people could look at patent filings, build what is patented and then claim that what they built is prior to the granting of the patent. I don't know about the patents for kinect or leap but I dont think either came out before the 2009 filing of this patent.
This is getting out of hand. Despite these ridiculous patents and lawsuits, I have a feeling we are approaching a point where some judge or politician will put an end to this madness. The real question is: can the tech industry survive without software patents?
This patent limits all touch based recognition, not just within their current playing market. Its identified the gaming industry, general data displays as well as nearly all forms of electro-optical detection channels. Monopolization of the tech industry by spilling oil all over the race track by one of the most powerful companies in the world? The western world needs change fast.
This is total bullchit and typical CrApple future lawsuit baiting. In the old days when I worked for GE, when we invented something and filed a patent, we had to be able to DEMONSTRATE IT with a working model, even if it was a duct taped together proto-protype! The Patent System isn't broken, it's a Farce! I hold 3 patents through GE from the early 80′s and I still have the working patent examples!
Mr Gibbs needs to understand how patents work before he write about them.
I wonder which is more ridiculous the one click patent of Amazon or Apple's.
Get a life, blame it on the patent office.
A lot of these patents especially the over broad ones should not be granted.
And they should also stipulate that any patent which is not incorporated into a product and brought to the market within 6 months should be nullified.
There is more, they should not be transferable.
Oh please, stop defending those that can't innovate or feel they have the right to steal Apple's IP, namely Samsung & Google, by citing such patents.
Instead, write articles about how we shouldn't let companies steal others IP becuase some feel "it's for the good of all."
I find it amazing that someone writing for Forbes can write such an idiotic article. First of all, history is filled with people who have scoffed at patents, later to be proven wrong. Secondly, do you really think a company as successful and secretive as Apple is going to give out any more information than they have to? The patent system may need some changes, but this patent has nothing to do with it.
Did you say the something about the iPhone? Your lack of vision has nothing to do with the probability that Apple has once again come up with a wonderful technology. How about Kinect? Was it laughable that a persons body motions could activate sensors that input the information into a computer?
its not that the 5d is ridiculous its the fact they don't even mention how it works just that its their idea of how something should work. I dunno much about patents but are things such as the fact that you turn a key to start a car or the methods of how you use a clutch and then shift into a gear patented. To me it seems companies are trying to patent a common way of doing things which is essential to having a society where objects are interchangeable. Where I can lend you my car and we all know how to operate every car or cell phone.
So companies can patent ideas now? They don't have a device or any existing functionality to patent – just an idea? So, if I have an idea for some cool futuristic device I can patent it in the hope someone will want to develop it in the future and then sue them for it? This is ridiculous.

Buick Terraza Owners: Meet the Members
I have the 05 Terraza myself and I have a quite of few problems at 300 miles so far. The flickering lights, horn doesn't want to work at certain spots, noisy interior (no wind noise, dealer says), loud clunk on rear end (decided to keep the orignal springs vs the softer, quieter spring with 600 pounds payload loss, manual doors hard to close from the inside (nothing they can do)
I just found out the Buick is selling the more upscale version of the minivan only in China! I am upset to find that they sell the van with sunroof, navigation system, power folding mirrors with integrated turn signals, dual automatic climate controls, three DVD screens, the features that you cannot get here in the U.S. http://gl8.buick.com.cn/en/

Most of us like our vans. Yes we may have had a few issues. But we have dealt with them. I am one that really likes my van. I think thousands of others would agree as GM is selling thousands of these vans each month. If you have a complaint take it to http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ and file it with the NHTSA. Oh, by the way the GM vans have some of the fewest and most minor of complaints on the NHTSA. The 2005 Honda Odyssey (92), Toyota Sienna (80) and Chrysler Town and Country (148). The GM vans had the following for 2005: Pontiac SV6 (7), Chevrolet Uplander (46), Buick Terraza(36). You can even pull the TSB (Technical Service Bulletins) under Edmunds.com maintenance section for doing car research. The GM vans are a little more than Toyota and way under Honda.
I think some of the complaints of the GM vans are no different than the Honda and Toyota but are way more minor than Chrysler. For some reason the Japanese van issues are overlooked and the GM van issues are perceived as lemons. Why is this? Is it lemon or lemonade? I think its lemonade and sometime the idiosyncrasies of the van may make you pucker. But I like my van and as I guy ( yes ok I am being chauvinist) can live with the idiosyncrasies. Sorry but true. I'll keep this van until I have over 100,000 miles on it. :shades:
I've had my @005 CXL for 15 months with 15,000 miles on it. Sure, I had the alternator replaced, new front stabilizers on the sway bar, kinked hose on the rear air shocks, new in-tank fuel pump, and new muffler installed. But hey, all of these were done during an oil-change (or other routine service) and it cost me NOTHING!! I have a great service-dealer who will sell me another GM van in 2 years. Foreign car??...fahgetaboudit!!
Sounds like you've been thinking your rig is more SUV than MiniVan. What have you been doing with it? Taking it off road and giving it a workout? :P
I have the CXL wit the tow package. Have had only one problem. The rear heater hose in the engine compartment coupling had a small leak. got it fixed with no other problems. It's been a real solid ride to date. Oh the horn spings where a little stiff at first. Just pressed on the horn a few times and it works great now. Guess the springs are stiff and so the horn won't work unless you press on it real hard at first. But they loosened up and worked itself out.
Igloo, You didn't say if you'd had any of these problems resolved or not. There is a technical service bulletin out for the horn springs. My dealer fixed that and it's now much easier to press. Do you have the towing package? I've wondered if the larger alternator ( 125 amp) included with this package has the flicker issue.
Does anyone have the flicker problem that also has the towing package? If not, should we all demand the higher amperage alternator be installed to fix the problem? I had the 105 amp. replaced, but still have a slight flicker at times. I wonder if the 125 amp would fix it.
I just got the van back this morning after almost two weeks, waiting for parts to come in. They fixed the horn, which makes it easier to press, but they broke the bottom plastic wooden piece that left the corners sharp in the back of the steering wheel. The both sides are pretty loose, so I have to snap it back in with some force. I have to take it back in when it reaches 500 miles for an oil change. It has about 350 miles on it now.
I don't have the trailering package. They replaced the alternator and I can see some flickering at idle, it shows up at startup and goes away for a few seconds. Then, if I press the gas and put it in drive, and then park, it will flicker and goes away for a time until you do something. Rev the engine, it goes away fast. So, the new alternator did not fix the problem completely.
I'll have to see some more and if it still doing that, then I have to ask them to replace the 105-amp with the 125-amp one and pay the difference, if ever. At least, the flickering is not as bad as before. I didn't find this problem in any of the cars I've driven before the Terraza.
The manual driver sliding door takes some tries to get them to shut completely. Neither of the sliding doors have real handles to shut it from the inside. You have to grab on to the latch and try a couple of times to slam it. I am not too happy about that.
The van is quite noisy driving on the road. I guess the quiet thread tires haven't broken in yet. Otherwise the engine is relatively quiet. I had them to check out the windshield, but found no bad seals or air leaks. I hope it will not get any worse from here on out.
Disappointing about the horn issue, I was hesitant to have it done for fear that the dealer would damage the air bag or something else. However, my dealer did a nice job.
On the Saturnfans.com web site they are discussing a possible new alternator that GM is testing to solve the flicker issue. I plan to wait and see if that happens before requesting the 125 amp.
The tires are the source of your noise. Goodyear Integrity tires are low-end tires-see tirerack.com for what people are saying..its not good. Mine have been ok, but are getting noisy at only 15K. I plan to put some Yokohama Avid TRZ's on soon (good price, great ratings).
Separate issue-has anyone had a successful fix of the rattling passenger airbag? I'm really scared for the dealer to touch that.
I have a rattle in the van going over rough surface like the broken ice on the street, but I thought it may be the trays in the back or even the front one too.
I'll have to mention about the tires at the dealer sometime.
Do you notice some strange shake when you lift your foot off the brake from a stop? I found that it is noticeable on a level surface at stop lights or signs. It feels like the van is shaking laterally.
Also, the engine does not idle consistently at a stop. It rises and drops periodically. If it drops, you can feel the vibes on the steering wheel.
Well, wish me luck with the van.
jerrywimer Posts: 588The rattling passenger airbag was the first thing we had the dealership look at. They did it the same day that they replaced our alternator. I don't know exactly what they did, but it no longer rattles. Our lights still do the dimming thing though. Thanks for pointing out the news about GM testing a possible new alternator. Our van is still under 10k miles, so I'll hold off until the new alternator is available or the van is close to the end of the warranty to mention it to the dealership again, because the dimming isn't too bad in our van, unlike what some have reported.
This rattle is definitely coming from the right side of the dash. Other than that, our van is pretty tight.
I do know what you're talking about with the "shake" when you let your foot off. I've just always considered it a characterist of the van. It's not really bothersome to me, just how the transmission and engine are working at idle.
I've noticed too that the idle goes fairly low at times, but it's never gotten low enough to quit so far.
Thanks for the info on the airbag rattle, now that I know it can be fixed, I'll be sure to get it in before 20K.
Regarding the reliability of these vans in general, I would like to point out that what's not being discussed in this forum is a good thing. There are apparently not widespread issues with the critical functions of the van, such as major engine or transmission failures. Although the 2005 vans were introduced with some (usually) minor issues, I really believe that once these are repaired under warranty people will have a very solid vehicle in terms of long-term performance. I haven't heard of anyone with an intake manifold leak. That alone is a huge improvement over the last generation of v6's (3.4, 3.8). My feeling is that the drivetrain will go 150K, easy.
Am thinking about trading in my 2001 Olds Silhouette on a Buick Terraza. Initially getting internet quotes from dealers. One dealer still has a new 2005 on the lot and is offering $5,700 off MSRP. Since I will be keeping it for several years, I'm not too concerned with a last years model, but wonder if I can do better on the price. Haven't had an opportunity to wade through the thousands of posts here, but wanted to find out from others whether this is a good deal, or has there been noticeable improvements to the 2006 model that I should consider an 06 vs. an 05? Also, do they come equipped with XM Satellite radio as standard equipment? Many thanks!
dave_justdave Posts: 29I have the tow package on my Terrazza as well and have never had a problem with flickering lights. I have an 06. I also have the new 3.9L engine and havent encountered any problems like stalling, low idling etc etc, so maybe the new engine with the towing package is the way to go to avoid these common problems!
cla1 Posts: 27I don't think there were any significant changes in the 06 from 05. We also replaced an 01 Silo with the 05 Terraza and have been pleased although we did have the flickering lights issue which was fixed without problem by dealer doing the TSB on that issue. We also had a radio that was intermittent with no sound despite display and that was replaced. Otherwise nothing, nice on the road and mileage about same as Silo. The seats seem clumsier to adjust and remove, but are comfortable. The XM is standard in the upgraded radio, but you need to pay for it after 3 months. My wife loves that feature as she is the primary driver. The luggage rack is a downgrade I think from the Olds and the 98 Venture we had, no cross bars unless you buy them and our dealer didn't know where to get them at least when we bought the thing in Jan 05. We've got about 20k on it and are happy with it. I've grown to like the looks as most people do. Grandkids love the video and remote headphones.
Thanks cla1. Haven't made it over to the dealer yet, but have received quotes on two Terraza's. Come to find out they have two leftover 05's left on the lot; a CX and a CXL. Since we have the GLS, the CXL would most likely have the same features. Since we are nearing end of April, I wonder if I can do much better than $5,700 under MSRP. I found out I missed a $3,500 incentive on 05's that expired April 4th, but I would think they would offer a great deal to move them off the lot. Now I just need to convince my wife as she's unsure whether she wants another van (we've owned a 97 Venture and an 01 Silo), but I don't think you'll find an SUV that will get 25 mpg on the highway and that much cargo room with the third row seat down. At least I haven't found one yet. If there is anyone that can let me know if $5,700 under MSRP for a new 05 is a good deal, or feel I can do better, let me know. Thanks again for your response
As the owner of an '05 Uplander, I would spend the extra cash to get the 3.9 liter in the 2006. Don't get me wrong, we love the van and it's been reliable but just be aware that you will have an issue with flickering lights, possibly side moldings that come unglued (not sure if the Terraza has that issue, or just the Uplander), a whistling noise on acceleration around 2500 rpm, and perhaps a rattling front passenger airbag. All of these problems have been resolved or minimized on my van by the dealer. These problems are common throuout this post. Uncommon problems include radio and other electronics problems and power door issues. But, as I've said earlier here that the van is not experiencing widespread issues with major components in the engine or tranmission.
The 3.9 liter has a different charging system that will avoid the light flicker and it also doesn't have the whistling noise. Also, I think the 2006's have revised door moldings and hopefully no rattling airbag. Unlike some, I think the 3.5 liter has adequate performance, but because of the issues above, I'd go with the 3.9. But, if you get a great deal and are willing to have these issues fixed, then go for it.
Sorry being so late in replying...Actually, I take very good care of my car, but I live in New York City (Pot-hole City). I always get dealer service...after all, it is a new car, and if there are any service bulletins, etc., they can be corrected. The horn is a little stiff, but I haven't had it corrected (can't blame me for a noisy city). I've stated before that the dealer will make all the difference in your satisfaction of your purchase. My dealer listens to me, gives me A-1 service, and wants me to buy my next car from him. I'm very pleased with my Terraza CXL and my dealer...I'll buy my next one from him.

The Pirates hosted district opponent Williamsburg Friday, falling 47-12.
Hunter Wilson took the opening kickoff for a touchdown to give Berea a six-point lead. The Pirates would continue to play solid on both sides of the ball until the late in the second quarter.
Williamsburg would convert a 4th-and-8 to take a 21-6 halftime advantage.
"Everything was working," Berea coach Adam Coleman said. "We went into halftime confident despite giving up the late first half touchdown."
The second half would be a much different story for the Pirates.
After recovering an onside kick, the Pirates would give the ball up on a fumble the very next play, which would eventually set up one of the four touchdowns that Williamsburg would score in the third quarter.
The Pirates were short-handed in the secondary due to injury and the visiting team would capitalize, scoring three of those four touchdowns through the air.
The Pirates other score came on a 50-yard plus rush again from Wilson.
"I'm pleased with our guys, we played a good team, but we shot ourselves in the foot on some mistakes, dropping some could-be interceptions plays that could change the outcome of the game tremendously."
The Pirates will travel to Campbellsville next week and with a victory could set up a possibility of a three-way tie for second place in the district .
"It takes time," Coleman said. "But we are moving in the right direction."

But if you want someone to hold your hand and rob your bank account, then by all means this place is perfect.

To swap bikes or not swap bikes at Tour of California TT
Posted on 17. May, 2013 by lyne.
The final three-kilometer wall with several pitches over a 10% grade at the end of the individual time trial, stage 6 of the Amgen Tour of California is making many riders think of switching bikes, going from their time trial to lighter road bikes. "The idea of switching bikes is interesting to me, it all […]

TERRE HAUTE — The election contest between former Terre Haute Mayor Kevin Burke and current Mayor Duke Bennett could continue for months, but according to two of the three judges for the Indiana Court of Appeals who decided the case, neither man is currently eligible to serve as mayor.
Judges Carr L. Darden and Elaine B. Brown, who wrote the 45-page majority opinion, concluded that Bennett was subject to the Little Hatch Act, making him ineligible as a candidate during his 2007 campaign, and concluded that Burke could not win an election in which voters were not fully informed of Bennett's ineligibility.
The legal team for Bennett, along with dissenting appeals court Judge Edward W. Najam, still claims that any post-election challenge by Burke was invalid, and the election of Bennett should stand.
The majority found that neither candidate brought issues of Bennett's eligibility to voters' attention prior to the election.
"We fault both candidates for not doing so in this case," the opinion states.
Because voters were unaware of Bennett's ineligibility, the court determined that all votes in the 2007 mayoral election would have to be nullified equally, meaning that Burke could not have won, even if Bennett were disqualified.
The Little Hatch Act, 5 U.S.C. section 1502(a), provides in part that, "[a] state or local officer or employee may not … be a candidate for elective office."
After a lengthy discussion of Bennett's employment as director of operations at Hamilton Center Inc. from 2005-2007, it was determined that: the Little Hatch Act applies to the Hamilton Center because of its responsibility for planning and coordinating Head Start programs; that Bennett was considered a state or local employee because Hamilton Center is a state or local agency by virtue of its work with Head Start; that his work at Hamilton Center constituted his principal employment; and that it was in connection with an activity financed in part by federal funds.
The court chose not to distinguish each of Bennett's duties within the Hamilton Center, instead finding that "as a normal and foreseeable incident to his principal position … he performs duties in connection with an activity financed in whole or in part by federal funds."
The determination that Bennett was subject to the Little Hatch Act, and that he violated it by becoming a partisan candidate for office, were not the final factors in deeming him ineligible, however.
One of the issues contested at the appeals level was whether Bennett was ineligible at the time he assumed office, or just during the campaign. Bennett argued that he was eligible to assume office because any ineligibility there might have been during his campaign was no longer relevant when he took office (because he was no longer employed at the Hamilton Center).
The trial court in Vigo County reasoned that Bennett was mayor-elect and no longer a candidate at the time the challenge occurred.
The appeals court disagreed.
"Because Bennett was disqualified from even being a candidate … and, therefore, was ineligible to assume office," the court wrote.
After determining Bennett's ineligibility, the court turned to Burke's assertion that he should be elected as "the qualified candidate who received the highest number of votes," based on Indiana state law.
The court disagreed, reasoning that if all the voters who cast ballots for an ineligible Duke Bennett — without knowing he was ineligible — lost their votes, then all the other voters who cast ballots in good faith would also have to lose their votes. The entire mayoral election, then, would have to be nullified.
"It is incumbent upon the candidates to have issues of eligibility brought to the voters' attention prior to an election," the court wrote. "The voters must be aware of a candidate's ineligibility in order to nullify the votes without nullifying all votes equally … [and] even though Bennett was ineligible, Burke does not have a right to the office of mayor of Terre Haute."
The dissenting opinion of Judge Najam states, "Candidates have a duty to discover and disclose eligibility issues before an election so that the voters can take those issues into account when casting their ballots."
The dissent adds that a candidate who knows of a "bona fide eligibility issue" and who fails to bring it up before the election is prohibited from raising that issue in a post-election challenge.
The majority disagreed with Najam's claim, saying that the case he cited – Oviatt v. Behme, 1958 — "gave us only two options … : we must either count all votes cast in good faith, including those cast for a disqualified candidate, or count none of the votes cast in good faith … because there was no evidence that any of the voters were aware of Bennett's disqualification."
The majority continued, "If we count all the votes cast, then we render all statutes enacted by the legislature disqualifying a candidate meaningless … We would be indicating that these statutes never come into play when an election is challenged after the fact because we would be saying that the only question to be asked after an election is whether the voters believed the candidate was disqualified."
The court stated simply, "The legislature has allowed challenges both before and after an election, and the legislature has not excluded the qualification statutes from post-election challenges."
Because the court determined that neither Burke nor Bennett is currently eligible to be mayor of the city, it was concluded that a vacancy exists — however, that vacancy will not become a reality until the next step in the appeals process is undertaken. The Bennett team has vowed to go to the Indiana Supreme Court; it has 30 days to do so.
Joel M. Schumm, professor of law at the Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis, and an expert on the Indiana judiciary, said nothing will happen with the mayor's office until after the losing party goes through the appeals process. The opinion is nonbinding until that process is complete, he said.
The Indiana Rules of Appellate Procedure state, "The trial court … and parties shall not take any action in reliance upon the opinion or memorandum decision until the opinion or memorandum decision is certified."
The rule further states that the opinion does not become certified until after the time expires for the parties to petition for rehearing or transfer (if they choose not to), or until the Supreme Court disposes of the case, either through denying the petition for transfer or ruling on the case.
Schumm said the losing party has 30 days to petition for a rehearing or for a transfer.
"If they ask for a rehearing, and it's denied, then they have another 30 days to file a petition to transfer [to the Supreme Court]," Schumm said. Bennett may choose to skip the petition for a rehearing, and directly petition for a transfer to the Supreme Court.
Schumm added, "Ten percent of the time, the Indiana Supreme Court will take a case if the parties petition, and if they decide to hear it, more likely than not they're going to reverse what the Court of Appeals did.
"Sometimes they may take it because it's an important issue and they want to issue a ruling on it because it affects a lot of cases," Schumm said.

I'm considering "downsizing" to a smaller ASP. I currently have the 26". Does anyone here have a small ASP and how do you like it?

I'm considering "downsizing" to a smaller ASP. I currently have the 26". Does anyone here have a small ASP and how do you like it?
KCnuke has the next step down from the 26". Might want to PM him.
He seems to like it.
We have the smaller ones and the larger ones. I carry the smaller one I was issued. I generally do like it, but I also use it closed more than open. It's more intimidating open (crowds when there is a group of us), but I have found it more effective closed, especially in confined areas like a car. If I can strike with the point on a muscle mass, or if need be, a joint or side of the head, I have their attention pretty quickly.
I carry the 21" Airweight ASP. Never had to use it; it's mainly there in case I need to break glass or if the Taser malfunctions. It doesn't add nearly as much weight to the belt as the 26" steel model does.
I think mine is 22". It also has the power tip on the end of it.
I like it alot, it works out great for scratching your back too:D
I don't carry an ASP.
I would recommend you carry a 12 oz. can of whoop ass like me.
lol you dork
Thats funny. He just knew you would say something.
Hell no, I carry a 31 inch ASP baton!!!!!
I came with a smaller version of the impact weapon but my wife doesn't seem to mind.
It's all good until she starts telling you how cute it is.
I've got a 16' with one of those no slip, ribbed for my pleasure, grips on the end. I like it. I do recommend a shiny finish for a shorter length. A little shine makes that dude look bigger than it realy is. I guess I've found a need for tricks to enhance the appearance of size. {Lowers head, sighs, and reluctantly posts confessing reply}
I have a long...... um
I have a short baton, never have to use it so it doesnt matter for me, I have actually debated taking it off my duty belt since we carry taser and oc
We don't carry the ASP we carry the Monadnock 26 inch collapsible autolock baton w the power tip. But mine isn't on my belt right now cause the stupid plastic holder has broken again and I can't get another one right now so it's in my patrol bag.
It's not the size that's important...it's how well you club people with it that counts :D

City council member Nick Licata plans to introduce a resolution expressing solidarity with the Occupy Seattle/Occupy Wall Street protests and committing to look at the city's banking practices. The move would go a step beyond a feel-good "City Council supports free speech" resolution, but would not go as far as resolutions adopted in other cities like Los Angeles and Binghamton, NY, which have focused on Chase Bank as a primary culprit in the foreclosure crisis.
In 2008, Chase took over Washington Mutual, eliminating 3,400 jobs in Washington State. Subsequently, Chase was accused of (and sued for) using fraudulent and false documents to foreclose on home loans, including thousands of loans guaranteed by Washington Mutual and failing to act in good faith when dealing with homeowners who found their mortgages underwater.
In LA, the city council adopted a resolution in support of Occupy Los Angeles and in favor of comprehensive "responsible banking" legislation that would require the city to consider a bank's impact on the city (in terms of things like small-business and affordable housing development lending, and where branches are located) when deciding where to invest public dollars.
And in Binghamton, the city council recently voted to divest the city from its two accounts with Chase "in protest," and "deposit the funds into an account at an institution approved by the City Council" based on Chase's "lack of willingness to engage in good-faith efforts to negotiate permanent mortgage modifications" with homeowners whose homes have been foreclosed on.
Adam Glickman, vice president for SEIU 775, says his group has been encouraging local governments to divest from banks that have been implicated in the foreclosure crisis. Glickman has been working with Licata's office on the resolution.
"Shouldn't we be using our public funds to support financial institutions that are going to protect communities and housing and jobs?" Glickman says. "There's also a political statement, even if local governments aren't directly invested in Wall Street banks, of sending a message from cities and other local governments that they support the message of Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Seattle."
City finance department spokeswoman Katherine Schubert-Knapp says the city uses Wells Fargo bank for its basic banking services, including deposits of taxes and fees and payment of all city bills. State law, Schubert-Knapp says, effectively prohibits the city from using any but the largest banks; the city can use credit unions, but only for deposits up to $100,000. "It is not practical for us to use a credit union with this limitation," Schubert-Knapp says.

This is a term generically applied to light brown, dark brown, demerara, and soft brown sugars. They should not be used interchangeably in recipes, as they will give differing results. However, what all brown sugars have in common is that they are normally unrefined, retain their nutrients and varying degrees of molasses, and range from pale golden to dark brown in colour. They have medium-sized grains, and are made from sugar cane or sugar beet. Inferior brown sugar is made by partial refining, or by adding a little molasses, caramel or colour to white sugar.
Look out for 'natural brown sugar' from good-quality brands, which will have more molasses and minerals and will not have been artificially treated. Demerara sugar from Guyana is the most distinctive.
Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight, heat or moisture.
Use brown sugar in coffee, cakes, biscuits and flapjacks.

The 10 states with the lowest per capita spending enjoyed a sizable reduction in overall poverty rates, approaching twice the national average. However, the top 10 big spenders not only failed to reduce poverty rates, but they actually suffered an increase in poverty rates of 7.3 percent.
[L]ow-spending states experienced substantial declines in childhood poverty rates. Meanwhile, the highest spending states suffered an actual increase in childhood poverty.
For example, the Children's Action Alliance, an Arizona group focusing on state-led antipoverty measures, opined, "Some argue that raising taxes is the worst thing you can do to a state economy, but established economic thought runs counter to this assertion. Tax dollars circulate through the economy to buy goods and services and to pay salaries. Economists as early as John Maynard Keynes have recognized the important contribution of government spending to the economy."
George Mason University economist Tyler Cowen, for example, notes that had the United States grown one percentage point less per year between 1870 and 1990, the America of 1990 would be no richer than the Mexico of 1990.
Cowen also notes the compound power of economic growth by calculating that at an annual growth rate of 5 percent, it takes just over 80 years for a country to move from a per capita income of $500 to a per capita income of $25,000 in constant dollars. At a growth rate of 1 percent, such an improvement takes 393 years.
Per capita income varies widely by state in the United States. In 2005, Connecticut had the highest per capita income at $51,390, while Mississippi had the lowest at $27,404. Five of the bottom 10 states in per capita income are Southern states. This largely represents a legacy of the century of economic stagnation following the Civil War. Southern states clung stubbornly to a status quo in economics and politics, which slowly transformed it from being one of the wealthiest regions in the world before the Civil War to having a per capita income around half the national average by the early 1940s.In substitution of slavery, the South established sharecropping and Jim Crow laws. Rather than embracing the industrial revolution, Southerners maintained an agrarian economy. By the early 1940s, the Southern states were growing more cotton than ever. Other regions, however, had embraced dynamic economic change, including industrialization and immigration, and were racing past theantiquated economies of the South.
Government spending ultimately derives from taxes. The American federal system presents a variety of choices for individuals and businesses in terms of where they wish to live and do business. States with relatively high tax rates suffer greatly from the process of emigration: that is, people and businesses leave high-tax states for low-tax states.
With regard to immigration, some states with very large increases in the percentage of the population born in a foreign country also experienced large decreases in poverty rates during the 1990s.
For example, both Arizona and Texas more than doubled their number of foreign-born residents during the 1990s but experienced poverty declines well above the national average. Texas gained more than 1.3 million foreign-born residents during the 1990s, and scored a B+ and A on the rankings of general and childhood poverty reduction, respectively. New York scored an "F" in both categories after gaining fewer than a million foreign-born residents.
Despite the fact that immigrants often come to the United States poor, there is no reason to assume that they will largely stay poor in a vibrant economy. Immigrants, both legal and illegal, often come to the United States in search of economic opportunity. In a healthy state economy producing large numbers of jobs, there is nothing inevitable about even the most penniless immigrant remaining in poverty long. A state with the combination of being a traditional immigration destination and experiencing stagnant economic growth, however, will be almost certain to see its poverty rates rise. Both California and New York fall into this unfortunate category.These states have been gateways for decades as immigrants have accessed social and family networks in each of these states. What changed for the worse in these states during the 1990s was not immigration but rather their inability to economically assimilate immigrants through job creation.
The Goldwater Institute . . . seem[s] to validate classical liberal economic theory concerning the best way to address poverty.
To what extent did the states that fared well in AuH2O's estimation do so not independently but at the expense of others?
What is THAT supposed to mean,
The paper even states that the improvement in Texas was the result not of economic policy but of a collapse in the commercial real-estate market plus high-tech growth, but neither of those confounding factors are considered when jumping to a conclusion.
Where would you want to live if you were poor? In a state where the prevailing view is that you should get help, or one where it's that you should rot? Where do immigrants or the "temporarily poor" in or just out of college tend to cluster?
It seems like the counter-argument could be that the states with stagnant economies and more poor have larger government because they have stagnant economies and more poor, not the other way around.
What if the decline in poverty is solely due to poor people moving[...]
Oversimplifying detracts from the evaluation of economic policies. It's certainly of no help to the poor.
Refer to what I said earlier.For example, it hospitals from neighboring areas dump their indigent patienhs in LA's skid row, that only means they are being moved from one district to another, even forcibly. It doesn't make them disappear.

Gunman jailed for gang feud murder
11:50am Monday 17th December 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A gunman has been jailed for a minimum 31 years for killing a teacher's son celebrating his birthday in a wine bar.
Aarron McKoy was with his twin brother Lee and it was their 22nd birthday in the early hours of New Year's Day when he was shot three times.
Dean Smith, 26, of Stoke Newington, north London, was found guilty of murder at the Old Bailey last week. He was jailed for life and told he would serve a minimum of 31 years.
Judge Wendy Joseph told him: "It was a true execution of a young man who was utterly defenceless and at your mercy. Aaron had done nothing to you or indeed anyone else."
The judge said it had been said during the trial that Smith had a loaded gun and was "going to shoot someone".
Cyreena McKoy said the murder had devastated her family. Her brother Lee was "like a lost soul" without his twin. She said in a statement: "Dean Smith had no reason to commit this senseless act."
The court heard that Mr McKoy became the innocent victim of a long-running feud between two gangs. He had had friends who were associated with the Holly Street Boys, while Smith was a long-standing member of the rival Lordship Lane Boys.
He arrived with a group at the Clerkenwell House wine bar in central London as Mr McKoy and his friends were peacefully celebrating.
Aftab Jafferjee, prosecuting, said trouble broke out and the club was cleared. But outside Mr McKoy and a friend were attacked. He ran off and was chased. After tripping up, he found Smith standing over him with a gun. He shot Mr McKoy and was turning away when Mr McKoy tried to move. He shot him twice more and left him with "devastating injuries".
Osman Mohammed, 23, Perrie Dennis, 23, Jack Nichols, 21, Ceon Hewitt, 22, and Daniel Oyetoro, 27, were all found not guilty of murder.

Talking to Fred Armisen About 'SNL', 'Portlandia', And Being Part of A Comedy Collective
After 11 years of creating some of the oddest and most memorable characters on Saturday Night Live, Fred Armisen left the legendary sketch show at the end of this past season to focus on his other soon-to-be legendary sketch show. Portlandia, which he and co-star Carrie Brownstein created with director Jonathan Krisel, has be picked up for two more seasons on IFC. He will also been seen in the upcoming film Justice for Al, from Bad Santa director Terry Zwigoff. I caught up with Armisen over the phone from Portland to talk about great sketch shows and how Game of Thrones influenced Portlandia.
So it is official now that you've left SNL?
I think it's clear. I [...]

The other day we told you that Brad Pitt was being paid a cool 7 million dollars to be the first male face of Chanel No. 5. Now in another round of promotional tactics, Chanel has released via YouTube featuring Brad asking a series of rhetorical questions directed at the perfume bottle and here's what we think she would say.
In a series of short videos promoting Brad Pitt's new Chanel No. 5 campaign, Brad asks the perfume bottle all sorts of questions. And while we have to wait until October 15th to hear the true answers, here's how we think Madame Number Five would respond.
Brad: Are you going somewhere? ....Where?
Chanel No. 5: That depends Brad, are you going to take me somewhere or do you expect me to grow a pair of legs? I am an inanimate object, you know. Although if you bought me a drink I could pull a "Little Mermaid" and become part of your world if you know what I mean.
Brad: Do you feel lucky? ... Why?
Chanel No. 5: Thankfully for you, my lucky number is number 5. So let me be your charm and we'll get along very well.
Brad: What's the mystery?
Chanel No. 5: The mystery is why are you flirting with a perfume bottle? You're not in Interview with a Vampire anymore, so you can stop asking questions and just kiss me already.
The ultimate question is, what will Angelina think? Much like himself and Miss Jolie, Chanel No. 5 and Brad met on set and it looks like there must be some sort of relationship developing. We can only guess this is why Brad is the first male to endorse the perfume.
Based on his sultry tone of voice when speaking to the bottle, there's definitely something going on beyond a "budding friendship between coworkers". Before you know it, Brad will not be seen without wearing Chanel No. 5 and the children will suffer from a broken family. So take it from us, Chanel No. 5 is a man-eater and no man, even Brad Pitt, appears to be safe.
On the topic of Chanel, how would you grade Jennifer Lopez in the baby doll dress she wore to the Spring 2013 runway show during Paris Fashion Week? Perfect for her hot bod or better off on her four-year old daughter?

Apple asks Toyota to pull Scion theme from Cydia
Apple has asked Toyota to pull the Scion theme that was released via Cydia as part of their recent advertising campaign. Modymyi, who hosts the theme for Toyota's marketing company, received the request to pull the theme:
Apple also heard about the theme and ad campaign. I received a call from our contact at Velti this evening as well as an email asking me to please take the theme out of Cydia. On the phone, he explained Apple had contacted Toyota and requested they remove the theme and stop the advertising campaign. They (Velti) in turn contacted me relaying the message. The reason Velti listed for the removal request of the theme emailed through our dev portal was "Toyota's making us take it down…" Toyota had agreed to do so to "maintain their good relationship with Apple," our Velti contact told me on the phone.
That the theme was released at all surprised a lot of users as the jailbroken community -- Jailbreak is not typically something that's recognized by larger companies. I personally have to give Toyota marketing props for going that far. Seeing a large company interact with our jailbreak community shows that jailbreak has come a long way since the days of Installer.
I'm assuming Toyota probably utilizes iAd and in order to maintain a good relationship with Apple, they'll pull the theme. I'm not surprised Apple requested it be taken down. Are you?
There are 43 comments. Add yours.
The only surprise is that Toyota did this in the first place. They already have plenty of iAds I see fairly often so no shocker Apple asked them take it down.
Agreed, major props to Toyota for being ballsy enough to do this in the first place
Toyota should have posted it under an alias and let no one know it was them.
Toyota must be providing parts for iCar...
I imagine they knew what would happen, but it was a zero risk move. They get to earn a little respect in the target demographic and nothing on the Internet ever truly disappears, so it'll be available forever.
its BS, jail breaking is legal! Toyota should have kept it there...'
but i see why they didn't... love apple products but not the company BS...
So Apple is reaching into others playhouse and controlling it to, eh? There should use their power for other more important stuff than a theme. :-/
I agree as well. I see how it may have some conflicts and ' ruin ' the company's relationship however , it just seems that apple wants Toyota to pay for their iAds. Of course Toyota wouldn't have ant problems doing so but it's extra profits for Apple
Cheap marketing strategy, that's all folks!
"Cheap marketing strategy" or not it's 100% BS that Apple asked them to pull it down. Apple has no authroity to tell people what they can and can't do to their phones. All they can do is not honor warranty if the device has issues due to JB. It's getting sad the way they are acting and it's just making them look like bullies.
Toyota doesn't have to do what Apple tells them. However, if Coke sponsors American Idol, they're not going to want the contestants to talk about Pepsi. If Warner has a deal with Burger King, they're going to get grief if Iron Man includes a McDonald's reference.
Toyota can put their ads where they want, and Apple can complain to Toyota if they get upset. It's an open market for everyone.
So you're saying that Apple should have banned news articles about Toyota's recall showing up on iPhones since Toyota places iAds?
It seems only fair in the present light.. :)
Where did I say anything like that?
Toyota advertised on a competing store, Apple complained, Toyota pulled the ad. Toyota could have told Apple to go stuff themselves, right?
I was intentionally trying to misinterpret your statement to make a point. I think it'd be insane to think of Toyota asking for good PR from Apple in such a way. Yet Apple seems fine with asking something very similar of Toyota (aka- Apple's CLIENT).
It seemed sorta hypocritical to me I guess given their current business relationship.
Very poor comparisons, youre slipping.
Your comparisons would only be true, had Toyota [while in contract with Apple] started to promote Android.
Jailbreak isnt a true competition to iPhone. You need an iPhone in the first place to be able to jailbreak it.
the 2nd comment above is towards Rene , not you :)
Cydia is a competitor to the App Store; it sells iPhone apps.
I wonder if Toyota advertised on AdMob and Apple complained, would they pull it?
Calling Cydia a competitor to the Apple app store is like calling a custom after-market accessory shop a competitor to the dealership. They're actually a complement, the one picking up where the other leaves off. I've actually seen dealerships have some of their floor models custom fitted by those shops. The most recent example I can think of, ironically enough, was at the Toyota dealership.
+1 very well put. Simply put Apple should not have asked Toyota to remove their theme. The theme was free from what I remember so Toyota wasn't making money off of the jailbreak store and they were not costing Apple any money or issues so it's bogus. Toyota disappointed me by taking it down, they should of told Apple to go pound sand.
All you guys gotta understand that Toyota maybe under a contract with Apple. So whatever's in the contract might be the reason for Toyota to pull its Theme.
Surprised Toyota wasted the time and effort on a JB ad. Not surprised it was taken down.
Just a matter of time before Apple gets around to a technical fix that eliminates JB-ing once and for all.
i truly believe IF Apple were to implement a better notification system, and few other simple tweaks, most jailbreakers would have no problem staying "pure"
It's strange that Toyota didn't check with Apple before expending the effort to produce this thing. I'm sure it cost them relatively pennies to produce compared to their other marketing materials, but you don't see companies the size of Toyota spend money without doing their homework very often.
It's already gotten them what they desired. A bit of street cred. Genius really. Wonder if Apple likes getting used for marketing purposes in playing the bad cop?
That's an interesting take. "Hey, we're Toyota, we're rebels. We roll with Cydia. Come drive a Scion!"
like i said... zero risk credibility building.
I think that's actually the demo their Scion line-up was made to target.
I know you dont like me because of my opinions, but its really chicken$#it to remove an honest opinion, only because you didnt agree with me. :roll:
You must feel pretty good about yourself having all kind of power on a website. Just keep in mind, the people who visit this place are the one who make it what it is ;)
My guess is that it wasn't really Toyota that put the ad up, but their marketing company with some VP at Toyota that approves. That VP just rubber stamped it without looking (or maybe understanding) what exactly the marketing company was saying.
THe losers here are the customers..
C'mon Apple, be a little open minded. I would never buy an iPhone if you couldn't jailbreak it...
It's a conflict of interest, that's all. It's not good business for Toyota to support something that Apple doesn'ta simple as that.
This should be a big red flag to Apple that maybe, just maybe, allowing the ability to make visual customizations (aside from changing wallpaper) is something their users would like to be able to enjoy sans jaiblreak. I mean the option should have been there to begin with... among a number of other things (BiteSMS?)...
Jailbreak and themes have been around long enough and the only response Apple has made is allowing users to set a wallpaper. Whoa! lol. They need to realize a lot of people buy the iPhone for its UI and with the intent to JB it to make it useable for themselves like every other phone is out of the box. Sigh, maybe one day Apple will loosen the reigns and allow users to customize and allow more apps in the App Store that allow for seamless integration for modifications.
Toyota wipes its butt with Apple money. Why the hell would they ever kowtow to those annoying, controlling jackasses.
Very clever marketing move by Toyota, this whole story. For almost no cost, it got them a lot of attention in a certain audience and made them look pretty cool as well.
U know what really sucks. I deleted the app to show someone how to delete apps in Cydia an hour after I installed it and went to reinstall and it was gone:(
Doesn't that characterize as censorship? Or is it only censorship if the order comes from a government?
Guess censorship is everywhere ;)
Very nice article and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is actually the best place to ask but do you people have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thx :)

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — DANVILLE — Farmers Insurance ranks hundreds of communities across the United States each year on safety and security, and Danville has been ranked 19th best.
The study of metropolitan areas, compiled by quality of life expert Bert Sperling (www.bestplaces.net) took into consideration a number of criteria, including economic stability, crime statistics, extreme weather, risk of natural disasters, housing depreciation, foreclosures, air quality, environmental hazards, life expectancy, motor vehicle fatalities, and employment numbers.
In the survey, mid-sized cities were those with populations from 150,000 to 500,000, while small cities were those with populations smaller than 150,000.
Danville is 19th on the list of the top 20 most secure small cities with a population of less than 150,000. Some other cities on this list were Corvallis, Ore., at No. 1 and Columbus, Ind., at 16th.
"This is something notable and we embrace it," Danville Town Manager Gary Eakin said. "This is now part of our economic development package, and this recognition bodes well for elected officials and staff here in Danville.
"We are certainly in good company with all of the other small cities and we are excited about this and are glad to hear about this."
Danville Fire Chief Mark Morgan said he's proud to be a part of the list. The fire department has made greater strides in fire prevention, such as running a program for children and the community.
"This is for everybody, not just a department or the town of Danville," Morgan said. "It's for the citizens who help promote safety by locking their doors and taking steps toward safety. It's for the whole community."
Police Chief Bill Wright agrees, saying public safety cannot be achieved without the community's involvement.
"This is a testament to not only the professionalism and dedication of our officers, but of the supportive community here," he said. "This is absolutely awesome that we were given this distinction."
One of the nation's largest multi-line insurers, Farmers Insurance works with consumers on insurance and risk management, and has a long history of working with communities to become safer and more secure.
"Our most secure metropolitan areas are islands of security in our challenging times," said Bert Sperling, president of Best Places. "They have been able to maintain stable economies and many are fortunate that their locale is not prone to hurricanes, tornadoes, or earthquakes. Although each metropolitan area is different, they all possess a desirable combination of factors (jobs, low crime rates, housing, climate, health, reduced levels of natural disasters) that make these some of the best places to live in the United States."
The Farmers Insurance top 20 secure mid-sized cities included Green Bay, Wis., and Lafayette, Ind.
The top 20 most secure large metropolitan areas, with a population of 500,000 or more, included Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, Calif., Des Moines, and Honolulu.
Eakin said he hopes Danville can get even further up on the top 20 list.
"We hope we can build on this success now that we're No. 19, and try harder to get further up the list," he said. "This just shows that the quality of life here in Danville is great and people do feel safe."
Farmers Insurance Group is a leading U.S. insurer group of automobiles, homes, and small businesses and also provides a range of other insurance and financial services products. Farmers serves more than 10 million households, with more than 20 million individual policies across all 50 states through more than 50,000 exclusive and independent agents and nearly 24,000 employees.

They are in your house. They are in your car. They are in the skies…Now they're coming for you.
In the near future, at a moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will unite and turn against us. Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication. In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans – a single mother disconcerted by her daughter's menacing "smart" toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a 'pacification unit' go haywire – but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late.
When the Robot War ignites -- at a moment known later as Zero Hour -- humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united. Robopocalypse is a brilliantly conceived action-filled epic, a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us…and an entertaining and engaging thriller unlike anything else written in years.
