I took the OTA, and have since rooted and flashed custom recovery, been jumping around on some different ROMS. In the event that I would want to sell my GS4 and have it bare bones stock, what's the best method? Or is there even a method?
Flash stock recovery? Reflash the OTA?

Your live fish may not match the image shown due to natural variations in each species. Each companion animal is different in shape, color, and personality.
The French Angelfish is a very hardy species that needs plenty of live rock for grazing as well as a variety of hiding places. As this species will nip at corals and other inverts, it is generally not a good candidate for a reef tank. At times, the French Angelfish may harass similarly shaped fish and may also attempt to control tankmates . In the wild, this fish is found in coral reefs at depths of 15 feet or less in areas that provide plenty of shelter from nocturnal predators. However, this species is also known to be curious about divers and swimmers.

UKIPO report on 3D printing lacks dimension
Excitement around 3D printing waned somewhat in 2014 from its meteoric rise in late 2013. Nonetheless, lawmakers and policymakers have been keeping an eye on this disruptive technology, leading to a UK Intellectual Property Office-commissioned report entitled A Legal and Empirical Study into the Intellectual Property Implications of 3D Printing, for which the executive summary was recently published.
The report is actually a wrapper for two separate studies. These were jointly carried out by the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management (CIPPM) at Bournemouth University and Econolyst Ltd, a consultancy specialising in 3D printing.
The first study comprised an analysis of how copyright law may be may be affected by the emergence of 3D scanning, and the creation and modification of digital design files. Additionally, it reviewed file-sharing websites including MakerBot's Thingiverse, Autodesk's 123D and GrabCad which are dedicated to computer-aided design (CAD) to provide a view on the types of print products available, their price, popularity and usage licences.
Unitary Patent Package – The Ratification Game (Malta Ratifies the UPC Agreement)
Update (10 December 2014)
According to the website of the Council of the European Union, Malta deposited its instrument of ratification on 9 December 2014 to become the sixth country to complete its ratification formalities. Malta joins Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, France and Austria as one of the six countries who have completed their ratification processes.
Now that Malta has joined the "ratification" group it means that the "Malta Problem", which is discussed in depth here, will kick in once the unitary patent system is up and running. In a nutshell, no European patent application filed before 1 March 2007, and which is still pending, will be eligible to become a unitary patent (assuming it grants after the unitary patent system goes live).
Recent unitary patent themed seminars have given the impression that additional UPC ratifications in 2014 were unexpected so this news is something of a surprise. However, we had heard suggestions back in January this year that Malta might have ratified. If the news story we picked up on earlier in the year was correct then presumably Malta delayed depositing its instrument of ratification for nearly a year for some reason.
IPcopy's ratification infographic has been updated to reflect the news from Malta (for an answer to the question "What's up with this infographic?", please see the bottom of the post!").
What's my line? The role of a paralegal
Roy Scott, Keltie LLP's Senior Paralegal and a member of the ITMA Seminar Working Group, recently had an article published in the ITMA Review regarding the role of paralegals. Here is a copy.
The Oxford Dictionary definition of the role of a paralegal is "a person trained in subsidiary legal matters but not fully qualified as a lawyer" – an interesting definition that is interpreted in many different ways in both the UK and US.
It also provided a stimulating topic for discussion at ITMA's July and August roundtable discussions for Trade Mark Administrators. ITMA President Chris McLeod opened proceedings by addressing the audience and giving his interpretation of the role of a paralegal and how this varied from firm to firm. To highlight this point, the later discussions were focused around the role of a paralegal in-house, in a law firm and in a Trade Mark Attorney business. (more…)
Intellectual Property Act – Patents Opinions Service
The Intellectual Property Act 2014 received Royal Assent on 14 May 2014 and makes a number of changes to intellectual property (IP) law in the UK. The provisions of the Intellectual Property Act start to come into force from 1 October 2014. In this post we take a look at the UKIPO's Patents Opinions Service. (more…)
IP Bill becomes the Intellectual Property Act 2014
[Update 19.5.2014: the Intellectual Property Act 2014 has now appeared on the legislation.gov.uk website and can be accessed here]
The Intellectual Property Bill left the "ping pong" stage last month after the House of Lords approved the amendments made to the Bill by the House of Commons. Yesterday evening, the IP Bill received Royal Assent to pass into law as the Intellectual Property Act 2014 (House of Lords Hansard; Parliament (Intellectual Property Act 2014)).
As noted on the Department for Business Innovation and Skills website it is expected that some measures within the Act will come into force in October 2014, with all the measures being implemented by late 2015. (more…)
Proposed UK legislation to legalise CD ripping (and other changes to copyright law)
Last week, the government published the "final Exceptions to Copyright" regulations for consideration by parliament. The draft regulations propose changes that modernise UK copyright law in light of recommendations in the Hargreaves Review completed in 2011 (the same review that formed the basis of the Intellectual Property Bill currently in ping pong).
The proposed legislation comes in the form of five draft Statutory Instruments that would amend the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) and covers Personal Copies for Private Use, Quotation and Parody, Disability, Public Administration and Research, Education, Libraries and Archives. The draft regulations will be debated in both Houses of Parliament and, if approved, they will come into force on 1 June 2014. (more…)
House of Commons & House of Lords organise game of Ping Pong (Intellectual Property Bill)
The Report Stage and the third reading of the Intellectual Property Bill took place on 12 March. After some significant discussion time over the last few weeks on all the provisions within the Bill, the IP Bill leaves the Commons with amendments to Clause 3 (Qualification criteria for Unregistered design right) and Clause 13 (the criminal offence for copying a registered design) only. A full list of the Commons Amendments can be found here and marked up versions of the two clauses in question are below.
Since the Commons has made amendments to the Bill, the Lords needs to have another look and (i) agree to the amendments; (ii) disagree with the amendments; or (iii) propose an alternative. When a Bill passes back between the two Houses it is referred to as "ping pong" (or whiff whaff if you prefer….). When the exact wording has been agreed by the two Houses then the Bill will be ready for royal assent. Whiff whaff is currently scheduled for 2 April 2014.
We have taken a quick look at the changes made by the Commons to the Bill down below.
Much Ado About UK Divisional Deadline Rules (Clarification from the UKIPO)
Following IPcopy's post last week regarding the amendment to divisional deadline rules, ipcopymark reached out to the UK Intellectual Property Office to seek clarification over why the rule was being changed and whether the new rule will change any procedures at the UKIPO going forward.
The response from the UKIPO confirmed that there is not intended to be any change to the practice of filing divisional applications at the UKIPO. However, it was confirmed that incoming Rule 19 is being introduced to address a perceived flaw in the drafting of the current Rule 19 in which it could be argued that the two-month divisional period would be reset following the issuance of every communication under Section 18(4) Patents Act 1977. Whether or not you interpret current Rule 19 in this way, the incoming Rule 19 closes this potential loophole.

They are great people. They took good care of our apartment and treated the apartment as their own and left spotlessly clean, we had a good conversation about Porto and travel. We had the pleasure of meeting them and hope to see them again.
We loved our stay in Porto, and thanks so much for all the information. Your apartment and the location are great!
Excellent guest! Very clean and considerate person. We look forward to hosting you again!
I'm sure you loved the city of Évora :-)
Cara and Adam were wonderful guests! They were out and about - on foot, on bikes- all the time and very inspiring on these last of summer days. They also were quiet and left the cottage in great shape!
Cara and her husband were very friendly and polite, they liked to speak Spanish and cooking Mexican food. I recommend them 100%. thanks for everything.
Cara and Adam stayed for 2 relaxing nights with us. They were no trouble at all and were nice to talk to. They left the space spotless! Thank you guys for spending time with us!
Sarah and Adam were very respectful and neat guests. They mostly kept to themselves and worked remotely, but were very kind when they had a moment to chat. Would not hesitate to host them again.
Cara and Adam were the ideal, perfect guests. Easy going and friendly, they kept the house immaculate during their stay and upon check out. We would, without a doubt, welcome them again in any of our properties.
Cara and Adam were great guests, always pleasant. They stayed in my apartment for about a month, and were understanding when there were some problems. They are welcome back anytime, thumbs up!!

Fun Ride, Great MPG, Roomy
Could have a little more to cover the Dash area
A Solid, Sporty Car — I just bought the 2009 Yaris, a few months ago.It had 18 miles on it, and now has 3,300. I have noticed the more I drive it, the more the Power, and Pep DEFINITLY pick up. After the first 500 miles, to my Surprise, the Acceleration improved greatly, the turns are tight, and the Breaking is clean, & strong. Gentle pressure is all that is needed. The Interior is more than enough as far as Leg room, because of the movable front seats. and Cargo area is nice. I put the 2 back seats down & keep it that way. I can load groceries, carry tools, Lunches... I threw in a Blanket, and cover up things such as Magazines, Flashlight, etc. Gas mpg runs 34 in city 37-39 on Freeways. And I have had no problems with Squeaking or Rattling with this car. All of this, and I still get Compliments from strangers. It is one of the best cars I have owned {from Ford, to Chevrolet}-- and would recommend the Yaris to anyone who wants Fun, Style, & Reliability.

Press release from Business Wire
Asfotase Alfa Significantly Decreased TNSALP Substrates and Improved 6-Minute Walk Test Results in Adolescents and Adults with Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

 Data from Phase 2 Study Presented at the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) Annual Meeting

Thursday, March 29, 2012
Asfotase Alfa Significantly Decreased TNSALP Substrates and Improved 6-Minute Walk Test Results in Adolescents and Adults with Hypophosphatasia (HPP)11:14 EDT Thursday, March 29, 2012 CHESHIRE, Conn. (Business Wire) -- Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXN) today announced data from a Phase 2 study of asfotase alfa in adolescents and adults with hypophosphatasia (HPP), a severe and ultra-rare metabolic disorder. In the study, all patients who were treated with asfotase alfa had an objective response to therapy as indicated by a reduction in tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) substrates. In addition, treated patients demonstrated improvement in the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Asfotase alfa is an investigational therapy being developed by Alexion as a potential treatment for patients with HPP. Data were presented today at the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting, being held March 27-31 in Charlotte, NC. "HPP is a devastating disease that affects people of all ages, and patients can experience debilitating systemic complications that can be life-threatening," said study author Priya Kishnani, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Division Chief of Medical Genetics at Duke University Medical Center. "Asfotase alfa is the first treatment designed to target the underlying mechanism of HPP. In this study, asfotase alfa showed a positive impact on adolescents and adults with HPP by significantly decreasing the two key TNSALP substrates that accumulate in HPP and are key indicators of disease activity. Importantly, from a clinical perspective, patients experienced improved function in the six-minute walk test, a standard measure of functional capacity." About HPP and Asfotase Alfa HPP is an ultra-rare, inherited, life-threatening metabolic disease affecting patients of all ages for which there are currently no approved or effective treatment options. Patients with HPP have an inborn error of metabolism resulting from a genetic, life-long deficiency of the enzyme known as TNSALP. This lack of TNSALP leads to accumulation of substrates, causing abnormalities in calcium and phosphate regulation, which can result in progressive damage to multiple vital organs, destruction and deformity of bones, profound muscle weakness, impaired renal function and respiratory failure.1,2,3,4 In addition, infants with HPP may experience seizures, and approximately 50 percent of infants with severe disease do not survive past one year of age.1,5 Asfotase alfa is an investigational, highly innovative, first-in-class targeted enzyme replacement therapy designed to address the underlying cause of HPP by targeting replacement of the missing enzyme to the necessary body tissues. Asfotase alfa is designed to normalize the genetically defective metabolic process and prevent or reverse the severe and life-threatening complications of life-long uncontrolled mineral metabolism in patients with HPP. About the Study The open-label, multicenter, randomized, controlled, Phase 2 study enrolled 19 adolescent and adult patients with HPP. Patients in the study were between the ages of 14 and 68 years old, with an average age of 42 years. Thirteen patients in the study received daily asfotase alfa subcutaneous injections in one of two dose cohorts (2.1 mg/kg/week (N=7) or 3.5 mg/kg/week (N=6)), while six patients received no treatment. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of asfotase alfa on TNSALP substrate levels and secondary objectives included assessments of changes in 6MWT following 24 weeks of treatment. The study achieved its primary endpoint, as treatment with asfotase alfa was associated with statistically and clinically significant reductions in the two measured TNSALP substrates, PPi (inorganic pyrophosphate) and PLP (pyridoxal 5' phosphate). PPi has several functions, including the inhibition of mineralization. Asfotase alfa treatment was associated with a significant reduction in PPi at 24 weeks in the combined treatment groups compared to the untreated cohort (p=0.002). Asfotase alfa treatment was associated with a decrease in PPi from 5.5 μM (± 1.51) at baseline to 3.5 μM (± 0.49) at Week 24 in the lower dose cohort and from 5.0 μM (± 1.84) at baseline to 2.8 μM (± 1.44) in the higher dose cohort. Asfotase alfa treatment was also associated with significant reductions in PLP at 24 weeks in the combined treatment groups compared to the untreated cohort (p=0.009). Asfotase alfa treatment was associated with a decrease in PLP from 324 ng/mL (±254) at baseline to 69 ng/mL (± 80) at 24 weeks in the lower dose cohort group and from 603 ng/mL (± 660) to 38 ng/mL (± 45) in the higher dose cohort. Functional capacity, as measured by the 6MWT, improved in patients treated with asfotase alfa. At baseline, patients had an average distance walked of 349 meters (range of 6-620 meters), with 10 of the 19 patients requiring assistive devices to complete the test. Patients treated with asfotase alfa had an average improvement of 26 meters walked, while the untreated patients had an average decrease from baseline of 14 meters walked at 24 weeks. In treated patients who had a baseline 6MWT between 25% and 75% of normal for their age (9 out of 13 patients), mean improvement in 6MWT at 24 weeks was 35 meters in the lower dose cohort (n=5) and 44 meters in the higher dose cohort (n=4). The most common treatment-related adverse events observed in the study were injection site erythema, pain in extremities and arthralgia (joint pain). There were three serious adverse events in two of the 13 patients treated with asfotase alfa; all three were deemed to be unrelated to asfotase alfa. In addition, there were four serious adverse events in two of six patients in the no treatment cohort. "Following the recent publication of strong data from our study of asfotase alfa treatment of infants with HPP, this study now indicates the positive impact that asfotase alfa may have on adult and adolescent patients suffering with HPP," said Leonard Bell, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alexion. "We are continuing to drive the development of asfotase alfa as a treatment for HPP patients of all ages. As our pediatric program continues, our expanding adult program will be further informed by the encouraging results of this study." About Alexion Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on serving patients with severe and ultra-rare disorders through the innovation, development and commercialization of life-transforming therapeutic products.

P3s — a financing option that's worth considering
- Cole Finegan, Special to the Business Journal
Like the private sector, governments at all levels are still suffering from the dramatic financial downturn that struck the world in 2008. Starved by declining and unpredictable revenues, and burdened with mandated — and in some cases constitutionally obligated entitlement programs — these entities face unremitting pressure.
And yet these same governing bodies must plan for the future of their constituents. In fact, they risk their communities' very existence if they don't figure out creative and practical ways to provide a framework for the years ahead.
Our local municipal governments bear the heaviest burden of all. We expect our city leaders and workers to build and maintain our roads and bridges; to plan, create and develop neighborhoods and commercial venues; and to meet our daily needs in the most mundane aspects of life, such as garbage collection.
Therefore, with increasing frequency, these governmental bodies are partnering with the private sector to develop projects and to deliver services. These public private partnerships, commonly referred to as "P3" projects, have been used for decades, but their popularity has exploded in recent years as the public sector's revenue base and workforce have dwindled.
Both parties are attracted to this type of financing, as a P3 provides both a steady and stable funding stream, and a form of investment that ultimately yields more than Treasury bonds. And municipalities can realize tremendous savings when the private sector is involved — as much as 20 to 50 percent — because of added knowledge, efficiencies and reduced risk.
Denver, in particular, has become quite adept at using P3s to develop large-scale projects that might otherwise have languished for decades. Denver's Union Station development is one example of a successful project employing multiple P3 facets.
This project was conceived in 2004, when counties along the Front Range broke historic ground in passing a tax initiative to create 119 miles of light rail. Known as FasTracks, the new legislation authorized the Regional Transportation District (RTD) to work with private, multinational construction giants and other governmental groups to finance, plan and build rail routes.
Union Station exemplifies use of P3s
Denver's iconic Union Station stands at the hub of the FasTracks design. The City and County of Denver, working with RTD, the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Regional Council of Governments, asked private developers to submit substantial and sophisticated P3 proposals to plan and build out the 19-acre site.
The public agencies and the winning development team then worked for months to envision and plan a model that met the dreams of the taxpayers and the commercial world. And just when it looked like the right moment to finance the $500 million project with a potent mix of private dollars and public financing, the bond market collapsed.
But the public-private partnership adapted and survived. Denver's City Council created a new project authority, with private citizens and public officials serving as leaders.
Regional, state and local dollars were pledged along with the city's moral financial obligation, and the partnership forged an unprecedented loan structure with the federal government to obtain the necessary funds to keep the project moving ahead.
Today, eight years after taxpayers put down the initial down payment on FasTracks, various P3 consortiums continue to build upon that investment. Soon, Union Station will be flourishing with a new regional bus station, trains and light rail. By 2015, workers will leave their office in downtown and board light rail to head east toward DIA.
Along that route will be transit-oriented developments that will utilize the same P3 concepts to create villages of businesses, homes and neighborhoods.
Despite an extremely difficult financing environment, and significant challenges, the Union Station development was made possible by combining the best of all that the private and public sectors had to offer.
This successful partnership featured improved project management, cost effectiveness and workplace efficiencies. And the differing perspectives of the stakeholders forced creative solutions to meet public needs, resulting in a successful project.
Use expands outside Denver
Just as in Denver, P3s are being used all over Colorado, the United States and the world, allowing public agencies and the private sector to share risk and to leverage the expertise of each for mutual benefit. Some international examples are Canada's Sea-to-Sky Highway project, London's Underground P3 project and even Greece's Maliakos-Kleidi Toll Project.
This unique union between public and private is becoming ever-more popular in our constrained financial environment. P3s are used to fund urban real estate developments, transportation, social services and even education.
And as public dollars become harder to find in local treasuries, P3 projects may even turn to private activity bonds as a financing option. In this instance, bonds are issued by a public authority acting as a "conduit issuer," with the proceeds lent to a project company.
No matter what the finer points of the resulting P3 deal might be, all parties involved appreciate the ability of a P3 vehicle to provide a steady and stable funding stream. Successful partnerships often lead to improved project management and cost effectiveness. As the Denver Union Station project and other examples illustrated here demonstrate, P3 partnerships can leverage the best of all parties involved for outcomes that can even exceed expectations.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

It's the first disc, mixed by Premier, that will befuddle listeners the most. Mixing "what shaped hip-hop," Premier rounds up old soul numbers from the likes of the Brothers Johnson, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Otis Redding and Percy Sledge. A few of the tracks contain snippets that will be familiar to most sample-addled rap listeners' ears. (Lil' Kim fans will definitely recognize Vicki Anderson's "The Message from the Soul Sisters Parts 1 & 2.") But today's rap fans, the ones that bump 50 Cent and Lil Jon out in their rides, may have a difficult time finding the connection between hip-hop and tunes like Nina Simone's "Don't Explain" or Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put a Spell on You."
Mr. Thing's disc may be more to contemporary rap fans' liking, since it mixes what hip-hop eventually became, rolling out classics from Eric B. & Rakim, Brand Nubian, Big Daddy Kane and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. In the end, The Kings of Hip Hop may be a far-fetched explanation of where it all began, but it's engaging enough to make you consider whether maybe, just maybe, songs like Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour" laid down the foundation that artists like EPMD later built on.

after a frankly shocking time flying a galaxy X i have only two very small pieces of advice...
#1....Phasers.... lots of them, stack & power all your systems & consoles toward buffing your phasers and by extension the phaser lance.
#2. remember to bring your cloak, the frankly shocking buff you get from a well timed surprise attack is invaluable when it comes to your lance. stack power for weapons when under cloak, wait for it to max out, decloak and let fly with the lance and watch shields vanish in a puff of "WTHWASTHAT!?!"
hope this helps.

Spring Excitement
The "boat ramp" ospreys are back! One was seen on March 8 and both on March 10, building a nest on the platform near the Belle Haven Marina boat ramp. One observant FODMer wrote, "He is the same male who has used that platform for about six or seven years, maybe more. We know it's him because he has that little dark mark in his left iris which can be seen with a spotting scope or a telephoto lens. She was bringing in sticks and he was mating with her, so things are moving right along." Photo by Ed Eder.
What's Happening With Frogs?
Several FODMers have noticed what seems to be a decline in several frog species in the western part of the Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve in recent years. Can you help conduct a spring frog survey, in the western part of Dyke Marsh, generally behind the River Towers complex near Belle View Boulevard? Volunteers could commit to surveying once a week, every other week or another monitoring schedule of your choice from roughly February to June in the evening. To volunteer, contact co-coordinators Deborah Hammer and Laura Sebastianelli at email@example.com.

NPS Announces Final Restoration Plan
The plan identifies what is called "alternative C" as the preferred alternative, which would restore up to 180 acres of wetland habitats in a phased approach. In phase one, NPS would build a breakwater in the southern part of the marsh to replicate the promontory removed by the dredgers and identified by the U.S. Geological Survey as critical to protecting and restoring wetland habitat.
The Friends of Dyke Marsh welcome a restoration plan and support alternative C, full restoration. Thank you, NPS, for completing the restoration plan.
Friends of Dyke Marsh, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

Do you believe in fairies? One night Peter Pan flies into the home of the Darling children, and so begins a magical adventure with Peter, the fairy Tinker Bell, the lovely Wendy, and the evil Captain Hook.
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell lead the three Darling children over the rooftops of London and away to Neverland - the island where the lost boys play. Magic and mischief is in the air but if villainous Captain Hook has his way, before long someone will be swimming with the crocodiles...
James Matthew Barrie lived from 1860 to 1937. He was born in Scotland, the son of a weaver. He adored his mother, Margaret Ogilvie - it was the Scottish fashion in those days for wives to keep their maiden names - and, although the family were quite poor she made sure that he was educated. In 1885 Barrie moved to London to follow a literary career.
He first wrote short stories and later successful plays which made him rich and famous. He was very nervous when he gave Peter Pan to his theatrical manager because it was a child's fantasy, the first and only time he had ever written especially for children. But Peter Pan with its flying and theatrical devices was a huge success and continues to be performed today. In 1911 James Barrie turned his play into a novel, one of the most thrilling and magical of all the great adventures that have been written for children.
With an enticing introduction by bestselling author, Tony DiTerlizzi
"Barrie wrote his fantasy of childhood, added another figure to our enduring literature, and thereby undoubtedly made one of the boldest bids for immortality of any writer. . . . It is a masterpiece."-J. B. PRIESTLEY

2012 Super Bowl Auto Ad Watch: All The Car Commercials
Yeah, so, we just heard there's an actual football game that goes on in between all of those car commercials. Who knew? Our priority's always been in the right place — the car ads. »

Mars hoists USA Nationals trophy again
For Jimmy Mars, the 13 years of dust on his 1996 USA Nationals trophy from Cedar Lake Speedway was a bit much.
The 37-year-old driver from Menomonie, Wis., took care of that bit out housekeeping on Saturday by dominating the second half of the Upper Midwest's richest Dirt Late Model event to earn $50,000.
The victory left Mars on the verge of tears with a victory at a home-state track against an impressive 26-car field representing 15 states.

StarCraft AI Competition Results 113
from the teaching-skynet-the-zerg-rush dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
By default, I'd say that a well-designed bot in an RTS would have an advantage over all but the best players. Since there is so much to keep track of, software would win out over wetware.
Bots in an FPS are one thing, but when you have dozens of units, a build order, multiple fronts, resources, and more to track all at the same time, the infinitely scalable multitasking of a bot would certainly come in handy.
Or maybe I'm off base?
Competitions like these are great, but they (and games like SCII) really make me pine for an RTS with a robust in-game scripting language. I would like to write complex auto-executing instructions for my units like "Pursue but never enter the firing zone of a known enemy turret or siege tank" or "If your energy > X and enemy of type Y in range R, cast spell S" or "If you are unit type X, always position yourself between friendly unit type Y and the enemy". You could confine the script to some reasonable specifications (say, no more than 1000 queries and 100 orders given per second) if you want to deter brute-force approaches.
This is a totally different problem than writing a good AI, you would be focused on writing powerful tools that aid, not replace, a human player by letting him specify his intent on a higher level than "go here" or "attack that". Better visualization of what's happening would be an integral part of this too. I would love to have SCII give me an overview of what units/building I have, what they are doing/queued to do -- even better if they are grouped into functional 'squadrons'. Being able to have multiple panes/monitors looking at different things would help to.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm old and slow and want to leverage my experience writing rule-based logic to beat the whippersnappers that can click faster than I can and keep more things going in their heads at once
Adding features does not necessarily increase functionality -- it just makes the manuals thicker.

Typhoon haiyan hits in the philippeans
One of the strongest typhoons on record hit in central Philippines this past week. It left thousands dead and counting, washed away schools, airports and many homes.

ik ben lekker lui vanavond; excuses daarvoor, maar ik post in het engels.In case this hasn't been posted yet, there's an entire photography expo in Utrecht this weekend! It seems the practically everybody you'd want to be there (EXCEPT NIKON!!!) is going to be there, the entire Jaarbeurs set up just so that photographers (and us wannabe's) can get practice, lessons, and tips. http://www.zoomexperience.nlIt's pretty amazing (to me, a beginner) to see how many different things they'll have set up. As an example, the in-line skating world champion, zipping around a course, just so that we can use him as "target practice" ! (I'll definitely be there, for as long as I can take it, trying to learn how to pan. And they'll have a photography pavilion set up with nothing but still lifes, so that we can practice and get tips.I have no idea what on earth Nikon was thinking about, not even showing up. But nonetheless, it looks like it could be a ton of fun, especially for those of us at the beginner/intermediate level. Tickets are half-price if you buy them ahead of time, either on the website or I've also found them at KameraExpress.-- LaDonna_________________________________A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Classic and colorful, these tri-color stud earrings are sculpted from hollow 14k white, rose and yellow gold links into a polished love knot design with a push backing closure.
View our education section to learn more about our gold jewelry.
Looks excellent on ears!!! Even better than how it looks on the website!!!
Anna, Kowloon, Kowloon – March 2015
The concept of tri-color gold is great, but these earrings are way too small to make the different colors stand out. May look better on a young girl or teen, but would not recommend for an adult. Gave these to my sister as a Christmas gift. Will probably be returning them
Christopher, Rancho Cordova, CA – December 2014
They are just the right size, and the tri-color is attractive. However, the back is somewhat small making it difficult to put on.

Vatican newspaper praises Homer Simpson
"Few people know it, and he does everything he can to hide it, but it is true: Homer J. Simpson is a Catholic."
|Report an Error
Share via Email
We might have understood if the Catholic Church had endorsed Davey. He's always banging on about God. And his dog talks, which must qualify as a miracle.
Instead, the Church has chosen the path through Springfield, and endorsed the Christian example of Homer Simpson.
"Few people know it, and he does everything he can to hide it, but it is true: Homer J. Simpson is a Catholic," the Church's quasi-official newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, proclaimed in a weekend piece.
In the slightly tongue-in-cheek piece, the Holy See's mouthpiece praises the iconoclastic cartoon for remaining "among the few TV programs for children in which the Christian faith, religion, and the question of God are recurring themes."
And when you put it like that (minus the "for children" part), it makes good sense. Homer spends most of his time trying to worm out of church, or mocking church, or trying to take advantage of Ned Flanders' Christian charity.
This has become a bit of a recurring theme for L'Osservatore Romano, which got all Philosophy 101 on us last year by commenting on The Simpsons' use of Aristotelian and Nietzscheian themes.
Or maybe it's just a case of stealing Protestant Homer back from Christianity's rival team. Three years ago, the Church of England said something very similar.
• "Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it's that girls should stick to girl's sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such."
• "I know I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman."
• "But Marge, what if we chose the wrong religion? Each week we just make God madder and madder."
• Homer: "Your mother has this crazy idea that gambling is wrong. Even though they say it's okay in the Bible."
Lisa: "Really? Where?"
Homer: "Uh . . . Somewhere in the back."
(Minutes later)
"Save me, Jebus!"

The Association's Annual General Meeting will be held at Victoria Barracks, St Pauls Tce, on Monday 8 March 2015 at 1730 hrs. All financial members are invited to attend. The AGM will be followed immediately by a General Meeting.
You will need a photo ID to enter the Barracks Area.
Marching off the old Colours with some style...
'Old and Bold' some members of the Battalion who were present on the 1967 Colours Parade when the Battalion was last presented with Colours assemble to 'March off the Colours' in style after 47 years, led by Brig Peter Smith who was the CO on that Parade.
He is supported by John Simson, Peter Newland, Jeff Dutton, Chris Donaldson and 8 members from D Coy Maryborough.
Delta Company's 8 members who were present at the 1967 colours presentation and again for last weekend's marching off of "Their" Colours.
9RQR Presentation of Colours
A magnificient day - the rain held off long enough for an excellent, and moving, Parade for the presentation of new Colours to 9RQR. The last presentation was in 1967, interestingly the original date for that Parade was postponed due to inclement weather..
More photos are available at the link on the right '9RQR Colours Parade'.
Over the next few days I will annotate the pictures and add some video from the 3 Channels in Brisbane, each of which gave a detailed report, however Channel 2 excelled by including historic footage.
In the meantime reflect on a day of pomp and ceremony the like of which we have not seen for some 47 years.
Check out the Brisbane Times article at...
Thanks to Ray McNab we now have the ABC News video of the Parade here

Pte John Leak VC
Friday 2 August 2013
The following was posted to the Oxley Library Blog post today [2 Aug 2013]. It brings up some interesting thoughts about Pte Leak's background. It is presented here as an item of interest without comment. The full post can be seen by clicking on the John Leak VC link in the menu bar on the right. A link to the original is below.
[ http://blogs.slq.qld.gov.au/jol/ ]
Guest bloggers: Ron Siebenhausen and Tom McVeigh
Private John Leak was Queensland's first Victoria Cross winner in 1916. Despite the amount recorded about his pre-war background in newspapers, books and on the Internet, it is inconsistent and without proof.
John Leak (2053) won the VC for extraordinary courage at Pozieres France 23 July 1916. This is not in question. The National Archives of Australia has digitised his records, showing he enlisted on 28 January 1915 in Rockhampton, Queensland. Documents relating to his war records and marriage to Beatrice May Chapman may be viewed at their site.

how can I check with javascript if one string contains an other string? I have like something like:
var a = "Paris, France"
var b = "Paris.."
a.match(b) //returns "Paris, " but should return null
I think the problem is that match uses regexp. Is there a possibility to allow Sympols like

Featuring Sherry Davey, Brian Scott McFadden, Jordan Rock, Andy Hendrickson and Michelle Buteau!
Actor/Comedian Brian Scott McFadden is one of the hottest stand up comics working today. Recently making his debut on The Late Show with David Letterman, Brian will soon be seen later this year on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS. Brian is a regular on the NY comedy club circuit & has recently taken his act to a whole new level, creating a huge industry buzz with his high energy performances & some of the most unique, incisive, hilarious & most talked about routines around.
A multidimensional performer Brian is both an accomplished stage actor, who has played Hamlet in New York, and a versatile voice over artist with a vast range of accents and character voices in his repertoire. Brian has performed in such films as Ice Age II with Ray Romano and Robots with Robin Williams & Halle Barry. Brian is also well known as the voice of The #1 Sheep in the Award Winning Serta Mattresses TV commercials. He is currently recording material for his upcoming Comedy CD "What A Woman Wants."
Sherry Davey is the ultimate bi-coastal lady. She was born in the United States but raised in England. For years her family went back and forth between the two countries, but her parents always made sure she saw American dentists regularly.
Living on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, never quite fitting in on either coast, gives Sherry the impetus for her quick-witted, acid-tongued approach to life. Sherry was influenced mostly by her grandfather, Maxwell Lapham, who was a stand up comic and night club performer in London during the 1940's and 50's.
Sherry was seen most recently on Nick At Nite's SEARCH FOR AMERICA'S FUNNIEST MOM II the series. She has regularly appeared on Comedy Central's TOUGH CROWD WITH COLIN QUINN and PREMIUM BLEND.
She plays colleges, casinos and comedy clubs all around the country and has been honored as one of the Hollywood Reporter's "Magificent Seven." She was recently named one of the "Top 10 comedians in NYC" by the Improper Magazine. She appears regularly in NYC at: The Comic Strip; The New New York Improv; The New York Comedy Club; Carolines. She has her own blog entitled FUNNY MOM at NBC's Momtourage.com :
Her most recent television appearances include True TV and NBC's THE TODAY SHOW. Sherry is a founding member of the touring theatrical comedy MAMA'S NIGHT OUT (www.mamasnightout.com)
Sherry is also known for her many dialects and characters, from American Valley Girl to impressions of her Hungarian father which has been recognized and honored for their versatility and hilarity.
Sherry is a working mom and wife and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Downtown Street Map
This is the most commonly published street map of Cozumel today but it is far from completely accurate. Be aware that due to recent growth, the city streets now go all the way back to 150 Avenida.
Calles (streets) run east/west or perpendicular to the sea. If you are driving east/west you must stop at every block corner.
The Avenidas (Avenues) run north/south beginning at the beachfront and run parallel to the sea. Avenidas are numbered in increments of 5 all the way up to 150 now. If you are driving north/south, in theory, you have the right of way and don't have to stop at each block corner.
Beware . there are exceptions to these guidelines but this gives an overview of the initial city plan.
The plaza and Juarez Street are considered the center of town.
Avenidas and Calles north of these will be referred to as Norte and have even numbers of 2, 4, 6, etc.
Avenidas and Calles south of these will be referred to as Sur and have odd numbers of 1, 3, 5, etc.

i've been on your site for the last week just checking everything out i'm telling you that you have the best site for learning about cozumel to all the execursions that are offered. also the information about how to get to the hotel from the airport with the cost about the ferry to every question that a person like myself would have that is planning on travelling to your beautiful country we are planning on retiring there. our family and myself will be arriving in Cancun and then going on to Cozumel. we will be staying at the reef and then park royal but i printed out coupons and all the info about the ferry, the ado bus and all the execursions we want to do . i'm lucky because i speak the language and i love to talk to people i would love to also get the pleasure of meeting with you which i'm sure i will since we plan on doing alot of your execursions. thank you for this beautiful site i enjoyed every minute i spend on it i look forward to hearing back from you!

I just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed our experience with the turtle salvation program this week. It was an amazing evening I will never forget. I will be sure to share the info with my local dive shops and SCUBA club when I return. I know that many others would love to participate and support the turtles. Thanks again and if you could pass along our appreciation to the biologists and other volunteers, we know it is all of your dedication that helps the turtles.

My wife and I are so pleased to have discovered your site. We fell in love with Cozumel the first time we visited. Our plans are to retire in Cozumel, your site will help us to grow in our knowledge of the island and hopefully begin our journey of protecting the islands unique heritage.
Thank you for your hard work,
