The federal "sequester" was supposed to be so crazy that Washington never would let it happen. Now that it has happened, the across-the-board cuts are showing that budgeting often was crazy before the sequester.
Consider the fate of Boca Raton Airport and Witham Field in Martin County. Because the sequester requires the Federal Aviation Administration to cut $637 million by Sept. 30, the agency notified those facilities and 147 other small airports that it no longer will pay to staff their control towers because the airports are safe without the the controllers.

Atypical Early Win as Judge Invalidates Patent in David vs. Goliath Battle
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 22, Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York (Case No. 13-cv-3599) granted FindTheBest.com, Inc.'s motion for judgment on the pleadings and invalidated Lumen View Technology LLC's patent. Judge Cote's ruling in favor of FindTheBest.com, represented by Leventhal Law, found that the patent lacked any inventive ideas and failed to claim patent-eligible subject matter. The decision resulted in a judgment in favor of FindTheBest and sends the message that reform is required at the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).
The invalidated patent claimed a process of matching two parties' preferences. As Judge Cote noted in her ruling, "It is evident by clear and convincing evidence that the patent is invalid. … Having two or more parties input preference data is not inventive. Matchmakers have been doing this for millennia."
FindTheBest's win comes after several months of aggressive litigation against the patent troll. In May 2013, Lumen View Technology sent FindTheBest a letter demanding that it pay a licensing fee or face "full-scale litigation" and "protracted discovery." Recognizing that Lumen View Technology's infringement claim was meritless, FindTheBest hired Leventhal Law and committed to defend itself in court.
In addition to attacking Lumen View Technology's infringement claims, Leventhal Law recognized that the patent at issue claimed questionable subject matter under the patent statute. In a long-shot attempt to secure an early win for its client, Leventhal Law filed the motion for judgment on the pleadings, which asked the court to assess the validity of the patent prior to claim construction or discovery.
Joe Leventhal, attorney and founder of Leventhal Law says, "This ruling demonstrates that the patent, on its face, meets the 'clear and convincing' evidentiary standard to invalidate the patent. Although this ruling is a victory, the USPTO should never have forced FindTheBest to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to correct the USPTO's mistake."
FindTheBest credits Leventhal Law with their victory. Kevin O'Connor, CEO of FindTheBest.com, says, "We are very pleased we found the right partner for this battle. The attorneys at Leventhal Law had creative and persuasive arguments that ultimately won this case. We look forward to working with Joe Leventhal and his team as we push forward with our RICO action."
Leventhal Law and FindTheBest have been making news with FindTheBest's filing of a RICO complaint against Lumen View Technology and the individuals and entities behind the patent troll. That separate matter remains pending in the Southern District of New York (Case No. 13-cv-6521).

Yes, I totally agree about the animations. The female troll looks so graceful on the loading screen and I was really in love with them until I rolled one. I couldn't get through a full level watching that running animation.
The gnome models/animations could use a lot of help too. The lack of polygons is really obvious there. I'm not sure about the males but my female gnome has two sets of knees, one where her mid-thigh should be and another at mid-shin. When she jumps it looks like her legs pick up and move forward relative to her body, like they aren't actually connected under that robe. o_O

Be Strong and of Good Courage/Ometz Lev
We are entering the Jewish month of Nissan, the month during which Jews and their families all over the world celebrate the holiday of Passover. At a special meal, the Seder, using a special book, the Haggadah, we retell the story of the Israelites' miraculous escape from slavery to the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and recount their wandering in the desert as a free people. During the Seder, we are reminded that we must see ourselves as if we, each of us, personally went out of Egypt. As if we, each of us, personally were a slave and now we are free. As if we, each of us, personally, had been redeemed by the Holy One.
What I think about each Passover – OK, after the Seder invitations are out, the plague bags are decided upon and the menu is finalized…What I think about as I am putting together our Haggadah, is the amount of courage it must have required for the Ancient Israelites to pack up their families, what few possessions they had and to leave it all behind, for something they could not see or touch-freedom. And though we read several times in the Torah, that the people complained and may have wanted to go back, they never did. Freedom once tried cannot easily be returned.
This month's book list honors the courage shown by our ancestors as they travelled out of their slavery and into freedom by providing a taste of that courage through the reading experience.

These titles provide a broad understanding of the value of Ometz Lev/Courage. As you sit at your Seder, whether at home or elsewhere, listen carefully as the Haggadah is read. If you hear a story, a song or a prayer that sounds like it is describing a brave, daring or courageous moment, shout out, "Ometz Lev. Courage!" Of course, others at the Seder may stare at you. That's OK. You can share what you learned and the book you read later, during dinner. If you are looking for additional information about Passover including a free downloadable Haggadah, visit JewishBoston.com.
Wishing you a Passover season filled with fabulous food, fun and frogs,
Happy Reading,

"Spring Up, O Well!"
Today is Blog Action Day 2010. The theme is WATER.
I could write about so many things, but once again, the day is almost over and I find myself running out of time. Nevertheless, I have thought of little else this day except what I would write about when at last I got a moment to sit down at my computer.
The world's environment is in such disarray. As humans we can live for much longer without food than we can without water. Every week, nearly 38,000 children under the age of 5 die from the lack of unsafe drinking water. I thank the Holy One that I live in a community where drinking water is not only clean and safe, but it is plentiful. Yet, the question pounding in my head is – What would Miriam do?
According to our midrash, Miriam, the prophetess, was blessed to have a well of water that followed her wherever she traveled throughout the Israelite's wanderings in the desert. All she had to do was say, "Spring up, o well!" and a well of clean fresh water would appear. Many people commemorate this miracle by having a special goblet – a Miriam's Cup – on their Seder table during their Passover seder. There is a special prayer that accompanies the use of Miriam's Cup:
Zot Kos Miryam, kos mayim chayim. Zeicher l'tzi-at Mitztrayim.
This is the Cup of Miriam, the cup of living waters. Let us remember the Exodus from Egypt. These are the living waters, God's gift to Miriam, which gave new life to Israel as we struggled with ourselves in the wilderness.
Blessed are You God, Who brings us from the narrows into the wilderness, sustains us with endless possibilities, and enables us to reach a new place.
"Miriam's Cup blessing" Copyright 1996 (Matia Rania Angelou, Janet Berkenfield, Stephanie Loo). Kol Ishah, PO Box 132, Wayland, MA, 01778
Tonight, as my family and I bless the Shabbat candles, say Kiddush over the grape juice and thank the Holy One for the bread that graces our table, we are also going to raise Miriam's Cup and thank God for the water that we drink every day. We will pray that wells will spring up all over the world so that children will have as much clean water as they need when they need it.
Ken yehi ratzon – May it be God's will.
Happy Reading,
Kathy B.

NASA's Stillsuit: Atlantis Crew to Test Pee-Recycling Bag
- 07.06.11
- Categories: Space
CAPE CANAVERAL — A textbook-sized kit that can convert urine into drinkable water will accompany NASA's last space shuttle mission this Friday.
Soldiers already use similar technology to filter out parasites, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants from dirty fluids, including urine, but NASA's adapted baggie system has yet to prove itself in space.
"This could be a first step toward recapturing the humidity from our sweat, from our breath, even from our urine, and recycling it and making it drinkable," said NASA project scientist and experiment leader Howard Levine, who made a reference to water-recycling "stillsuits" used on a desert world in the science fiction series Dune.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station already drink water from a pee-recycling machine delivered several years ago, but it saps power from the orbital laboratory's limited supply. The space-ready water conversion kit, however, won't need an external power source because it relies on a passive property of fluids called forward osmosis.
NASA's recycler will use a sugary solution injected into a semi-permeable inner bag, which is nested inside an outer bag. Dirty fluid that's pumped into the outer bag will slowly pass through the inner bag and into the sugary solution, leaving behind its contaminants. On Earth, the double-sack system makes about a liter of sports drink-like fluid in four to six hours.
One of the four astronauts aboard space shuttle Atlantis will test the recycler — with an experimental fluid, not their own urine — toward the end of their 12-day mission, scheduled for launch this Friday at 11:26 a.m. EDT.
Levine and engineer Monica Soler of the Bionetics Corporation, who helped NASA retrofit the recycler for space, gave a demonstration here at Kennedy Space Center. We show the steps in this gallery.
Osmotic Bag
The key to NASA's recycler is a bag-within-bag. The blue liquid is a potassium-rich solution made to test the experiment's filtration abilities.
Sugary Syringe
The recycler relies on an electrolyte-filled solution to pull water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane.
Powering Osmosis
Soler injects the electrolyte solution into the semi-permeable inner bag. Once dirty fluid is added to the outer bag, osmosis proceeds.
Levine said "urine simulants" have already been tested in the double-bag system, but urea — a chemical in pee that can build up in kidneys and disrupt their function — still gets through.
"We'd need to add some sort of carbon filtration on the bag to make it really safe" for drinking urine regularly, rather than on a short voyage, Levine said.
Mess Management
In space, moving fluids around is tricky business. To help astronauts, NASA created a T-shaped, syringe-and-valve system.
After fluid in a bag of waste (right, tip visible) is sucked into a syringe, a switch is flipped and the waste is pushed into the recycler's outer bag (left). Four to six hours later, a sugary drink is ready.
The Results
Levine said astronauts aboard Atlantis won't drink the product yet. So far, only a member of a Japanese TV crew has ever tried it.
"We strongly advised him not to, but he did it anyway. He's still alive and walking around," Levine said. "He said it tasted like Capri Sun."
Above, Levine and Soler hold up the completed forward osmosis experiment.
Reuse and Recycle
If more sugary solution (above) is available to power osmotic filtration, Levine said a single bag can be used about four times a day for 10 days in a row.
"That's about 10 gallons, and each gallon of water is about 8 pounds," Levine said. With payload weight costs averaging about $10,000 per pound, "you could see quite a bit of savings with this."

I have only been playing COD for about 4 months but I have noticed you never see two people both die when shots were obviously at the same time. Only one dies. Its as if one bullet becomes dead and the other does not. They need to fix that.
I believe thats called "Lag Compensation".
A lot of times its that one person was just more accurate than the other. They get they kill shot while the other just misses or wounds.

Swans Supports Triple A
As part of Swans School's ongoing commitment to support local charities, the children of the Primary School joyfully presented the Triple A animal shelter with a cheque for €600.
The funds were raised at the traditional Swans Christmas Fair, attended by Triple A staff and a few of the dogs. The treasurer of Triple A was awarded the cheque during a special school assembly, where he explained to the children how the money would be used and how much their efforts were appreciated.

I agree with that I have 3 Marilyn Manson LP sets and a Bush LP set which are all post-2000 and the best sounding issues available. (Also all on Interscope... coincidence, i think not).
I am thrilled that they did not rip you off. What experience I have had with their reissues was all negative and consequently I have determined it is nearly always worth my while to seek out original pressings. Two eras? Bootlegs? I've heard enough to stay away even without this additional information.
I have yet to hear a good pressing of Tilt or The Drift by Scott Walker. These have all kinds of surface noise. Bish Bosh is also pretty awful. Any ideas about who 4AD is using for those ?
I have two Friday Music LPs. Deep Purple's Fireball and Mountain's Climbing. The latter was also done with Kevin Gray. Fireball sounds shrill and Climbing sounds great, except that some of the instruments sound as if they're missing from the mix (bad EQ?).
EU or US pressing? There is a huge difference between The Drift reissues - the EU reissue pressing is 180g and the US reissue pressing is 140g. The US pressing has scuffs and nonfill, the EU pressing is perfect. I have two copies of the US pressing and three copies of the EU pressing. I dont have the original which is supposedly the worst - a lot of surface noise. The EU pressing of Bish Bosch is pretty much perfect too, i dont have the US pressing for that to compare. I have only listened to couple of sides of both of the EU pressings (The Drift and Bish Bosch), and there was minimal surface noise if at all.
No, not quite the only person here, if you mean the whole of SH forums. Stone Turntable has it about right, above. The best way to approach SV is on a case by case basis. They've done John Martyn: Solid Air not that long ago, from original tapes, for instance.
I have only ONE Simply Vinyl LP, Getz/Gilberto, which was recommended by someone here in another thread. It's terrific!
Yes. It has the original Windfall label except it might say something like "Friday Music" on the bottom. Not sure if it's the same pressing as the one in that video.
I have a few Elvis Presley records on Friday Music, sound really good to me. If you like Elvis, try From Elvis In Memphis.

AbstractThe strigolactones are rhizosphere signaling molecules as well as a new class of plant hormones with a still increasing number of biological functions being uncovered. Here, we review a recent major breakthrough in our understanding of strigolactone biosynthesis, which has revealed the unexpected simplicity of the originally postulated complex pathway. Moreover, the discovery and localization of a strigolactone exporter sheds new light on putative strigolactone fluxes to the rhizosphere as well as within the plant. The combination of these data with information on the expression and regulation of strigolactone biosynthetic and downstream signaling genes provides new insights into how strigolactones control the many different aspects of plant development and how their rhizosphere signaling role may have evolved.

AbstractPlants use an array of secondary metabolites to defend themselves against harmful organisms and to attract others that are beneficial. However, the attraction of beneficial organisms could also lead to abuse by malevolent organisms. An exciting example of such abuse is the relationship between plants, beneficial mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and harmful parasitic plants. Signalling molecules called strigolactones, which are secreted by plant roots in low concentrations, induce the growth of both obligate biotrophs. Here, we review the importance of strigolactones for these two interactions and discuss possible developments that should further clarify the role of these signalling molecules in rhizosphere processes.

Strigolactones: discovery of the elusive shoot branching hormone
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 14, Issue 7, 1 July 2009, Pages 364-372
Elizabeth A. Dun, Philip B. Brewer and Christine A. Beveridge
AbstractThe control of axillary bud outgrowth involves a network of hormonal signals and feedback regulation. A repressor of bud outgrowth that is central to the story has been missing since it was first postulated more than 70 years ago. This hormone moves upward in plant stems and can act as a long-distance messenger for auxin. Strigolactones, previously known as carotenoid-derived signals exuded from roots, fit the role of this elusive hormone. The discovery of branching inhibition by strigolactones will help solve many confusing aspects of branch control, including interactions with other signals, and is a great step forward toward uncovering the links between environment, genetics and plant form.

Exciting research looking at early events in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses has shown how the fungus and plant get together. Kohki Akiyama et al. have demonstrated that strigolactones in root exudates are fungal germ tube branching factors, and Arnaud Besserer et al. found that these compounds rapidly induce fungal mitochondrial activity. Andrea Genre et al. have shown that subsequent development of appressoria on host roots induces construction of a transient prepenetration apparatus inside epidermal cells that is reminiscent of nodulation infection.

Not that 50′s Prime Time Cafe and Whispering Canyon Cafe have bad service; you simply have to know what to expect. Disney incorporates "story" into all of its theme parks, rides, [...]
Rosie's Victory Garden
One of the fun little "surprises" in Disney World is Rosie's Victory Garden, tucked back by Rock n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, within the row of Sunset Ranch Market counter service restaurants. You can find the Victory Garden next to Catalina Eddie's and not far from its "owner's" restaurant, Rosie's American Cafe. The [...]
Mid-Century Nostalgia
One of the unsung heroes of dining at Walt Disney World is the 50′s Prime Time Cafe, a diner where the food is decent, the servers are funny, and the decor is the real reason you're there. Reminiscent of their youth for those over 50 and the Wonder Years for those under 40, 50′s Prime [...]

What if it was you? What if you decided that for tonight you would go and hit the town with some friends. You would probably start off in your room tipping back a few drinks while watching Clerks on your 13 Sanyo T.V. that sits atop your hotel sized fridge. You begin calling your friends trying to decide exactly how youre going to spend your uneventful evening so that youre not stuck just wasting away another Saturday night in the city of Ames. You finally get a hold of one of your best friends and meet up with them at your local convenient store to stock up on the essentials, and replenish many of the other necessities. Unfortunately for whatever reason that is irrelevant, you took it upon yourself to commit a crime or unlawful act that could land serious consequences if found guilty. You already made the choice, and got caught doing it, so what happens now?

phonoLapse {+ software}
phonoLapse is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows that lets you create audio time-lapses. For the 2010 Enterferenze New Art Festival I put together a little Time Lapse Phonography piece that followed me over the course of 24 hours (check the video below). I have been receiving emails from people wanting to create their own, and decided to work on a standalone version so you too can create some time-lapse phonography .
Please let me know if you have any issues.
In case you fancy making crazy long files, the max size of your final sound can be 7 minutes. Also, there's always a chance it might bomb out after you've been recording for days (and that would be sad), so to be safe you can export every now and then and select "continue recording" in the popup.
I love seeing/hearing what you create with it, so swing me a link if you do something! It's really exciting to see what people get up to with my apps!

Does your application record only sound or is the image also included? If not, what is the best way to get a video recording too? I thought about doing this with my webtop.

Andrew – I am getting a pronounced "timpani" reverb bass sound at (between?) each . I have played with ramp time a bit from your default to zero and tried using "auto" and "on" in the crossfade. I get not change. What do I need to adjust?

Fishing the scenic St. Croix River, Mississippi River, Twin Cities Metro Area, and Lake Mille Lacs
CLICK HERE to watch Josh on Field&Stream.com's Hook Shots, as he guides Joe Cermele in his quest for a musky.
Josh is a United States Coast Guard (USCG) Licensed Captain and has guided professionally for nearly 20 years. While his first love is musky fishing (he caught the current Minnesota State Record Tiger Musky in 1999), he also enjoys guiding for walleye, bass and northern pike.
If you've seen Josh on "The Hunt For Big Fish" starring Larry Dahlberg, you've had a glimpse of the enthusiasm and impressive results that Josh is known for (like landing several giant muskies on Larry's show)! He is also a published writer and engaging seminar speaker.
In 2004 Josh purchased Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle in Oakdale, Minnesota and shaped it into a "home away from home" for all anglers. If he's not on the water, he's probably at the store, helping customers find the most effective tackle for their next fishing trip. Otherwise, he's likely spending time with his daughters, Anabelle and Emma, and his wife, Laura.
Feel free to browse the website to get to know more About Josh. To preview where you're likely to fish on your guide trip, check out the Home Waters tab. If you'd like to purchase some great tackle, including specialty items that can't be found anywhere else, click Shop for Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle's on-line selection. Maybe you've got that nagging question on your mind, "Did this guy really start guiding when he was 16?" If so, I'd recommend you pour yourself some coffee and browse his photo Gallery. You'll see how Josh grew up...on the water, with fish on the line!
Josh's passion for life and fishing will be obvious the moment you meet him, and he's looking forward to meeting you!

The Violet Hour
0161 434 9521
236 Burton Road
West Didsbury
Opening Hours: Monday - CLOSED || Tuesday 11.30am - 11.30pm || Wednesday 11.30am-11.30pm ||Thursday 11.30am - 12.30am || Friday 11.30am - 12.30am || Saturday 11.30am - 12.30am || Sunday 11.30am - 11.30pm (Food served until 10.00pm)
UPDATE - as from Wednesday 14th August 2013, The Violet Hour will be opening during the day, Tuesday-Sunday, from 11.30am and serving food right through until 10.00pm.
The Violet Hour is an independent neighbourhood bar, which opened in summer 2012, sitting in the heart of West Didsbury on Burton Road. Occupying the old Hibbert's butcher's shop, we loved this unusual site the moment we saw it, despite the completely derelict state it was in! It's undergone a complete renovation, and with its different floors and cosy snug areas we saw a great opportunity to restore the building to its former glory and create a real focal point in the community.
During the day The Violet Hour will be a relaxing place to have a coffee, read the newspapers, use the WIFI and enjoy some delicious and carefully prepared foods. We're now open from 11.30am Tuesday - Sunday, serving our brunch menu until 3.00pm daily and all day Sunday...
We've also launched our new lunch and dinner menu, for your delectation...
We've taken inspiration for our bar from the illicit drinking dens and secret speakeasies of Prohibition-era USA, a time of real social explosion where high-quality drinks and a relaxed, intimate environment were the order of the day. This is particularly evident in the drinks we're bringing to you. As well as fantastic wines and champagnes and a diverse selection of both British and imported beers, we offer both classic cocktails and our signature versions of classics. We're priding ourselves on the quality and authenticity of our drinks, and will be experimenting with home-made syrups and infusions which we hope will make them that little bit special.
There are plenty of deep leather sofas and vintage Chesterfields for you to settle down in, and all of this with a killer soundtrack in the background to really set the mood.
Our friendly team very much look forward to welcoming the good people of West Didsbury and beyond, making sure you have a great and memorable experience - day or night - when you visit.
Oh, and for anyone wondering about the origins of our name, a chap named Bernard DeVoto wrote a cocktail manifesto called "The Hour" back in the 50s and he had this to say - "This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affections grow and valor is reborn."

World Gold Council launches hunt for global agency support
The World Gold Council has launched a hunt for global comms agency support, currently handled by MSLGroup.
The pitch process is understood to be in the opening stages. Sources have suggested that the brief is expected to include consumer, corporate and technology.
Corporate comms director Brenda Bates confirmed that 'some element' of MSLGroup's brief is up for repitch although declined to reveal what that would include. She added: 'We've been looking at comms and talking to a few people.'
The pitch process comes after MSLGroup was brought in by the council in 2009.
The account has been led from London by financial comms shop Capital MSL, working alongside MSL Worldwide and Publicis Consultants.
The World Gold Council is based in the UK with operations in India, the Far East, Europe and the US. Its 23 members comprise the leading gold mining companies, representing around 60% of global corporate gold production.
The council's CEO is Aram Shishmanian, former head of the global financial markets practice at Accenture.
