Bose has taken issue with some of the technology embodied in products in Apple's newly acquired Beats line of headphones. As Ars Technica reports, Bose is suing Apple, claiming that the Beats products violate five Bose patents, covering noise cancellation and signal processing Although Bose never mentions Apple in the 22-page complaint, the acquisition price of the private company may have played a part in spurring Bose to sue. The suit doesn't include a specific damage demand. Bose has also filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission against Beats over the same infringement claims. That means the patent lawsuit filed in federal court will be stayed while the ITC case gets resolved first.

Nate the greatest (2261802) writes with news made public Friday that Apple has acquired a little known ebook company called Booklamp, a small Idaho-based ebook startup which is best known for the Book Genome Project. First shown off to the world in 2008, this project was conceived by Booklamp founder and CEO Aaron Stanton as a way of analyzing a book's pacing, dialog, perspective, genre, and other details in order to identify a book's unique DNA. Booklamp has been using the tech to sell various services to publishers, tech companies, and the like, but Booklamps's existing contracts were apparently cancelled earlier this year.
According to one industry insider the deal happened in April, but Apple managed to keep the news under wraps until just last night. No one knows for sure how Apple will use booklamp but there is speculation that Apple could launch an ebook subscription service similar to the week-old Kindle Unlimited, or they could just use Booklamp to drive ebook recommendations in what some are speculating is the world's second largest ebookstore.

theshowmecanuck (703852) writes with this excerpt from Reuters summarizing the upshot of a talk that Jonathan Zdziarski gave at last weekend's HOPE conference: Personal data including text messages, contact lists and photos can be extracted from iPhones through previously unpublicized techniques by Apple Inc employees, the company acknowledged this week. The same techniques to circumvent backup encryption could be used by law enforcement or others with access to the 'trusted' computers to which the devices have been connected, according to the security expert who prompted Apple's admission. Users are not notified that the services are running and cannot disable them, Zdziarski said. There is no way for iPhone users to know what computers have previously been granted trusted status via the backup process or block future connections. If you'd rather watch and listen, Zdziarski has posted a video showing how it's done.

Nate the greatest (2261802) writes Apple thrilled investors earlier this week when they revealed that they had sold 13 million iPads to schools and claimed 85% of the educational tablet market, but that wasn't the whole story. It turns out that Apple has only sold 5 million iPads to schools since February 2013, or an average of less than a million tablets a quarter over 6 quarters. It turns out that instead of buying iPads, schools are buying Chromebooks. Google reported that a million Chromebooks were sold to schools last quarter, well over half of the 1.8 million units sold in the second quarter. With Android tablets getting better, Apple is losing market share in the consumer tablet market, and now it looks Apple is also losing the educational market to Google. Analysts are predicting that 5 million Chromebooks will be sold by the end of the year; how many of those will be sold to schools, do you think?

New submitter David Hames (3763525) writes Would you like to test drive the newest release of the Macintosh operating system? Apple is opening up the beta for Mac OS X Yosemite starting Thursday to the first million people who sign up. Beta users won't be able to access such promised Yosemite features such as the ability to make or receive your iPhone calls or text messages on your Mac, turn on your iPhone hotspot feature from your Mac, or "Handoff" the last thing you were doing on your iOS 8 device to your Mac and vice versa. A new iCloud Drive feature is also off-limits, while any Spotlight search suggestions are U.S.-based only. Don't expect all your Mac apps to run either. Ars has a preview of Yosemite.

chicksdaddy (814965) writes The Security Ledger reports on newly published research from the firm zScaler that reveals CNN's iPhone application transmits user login session information in clear text. The security flaw could leave users of the application vulnerable to having their login credential snooped by malicious actors on the same network or connected to the same insecure wifi hotspot. That's particularly bad news if you're one of CNN's iReporters — citizen journalists — who use the app to upload photos, video and other text as they report on breaking news events. According to a zScaler analysis, CNN's app for iPhone exposes user credentials in the clear both during initial setup of the account and in subsequent mobile sessions. The iPad version of the CNN app is not affected, nor is the CNN mobile application for Android. A spokesman for CNN said the company had a fix ready and was working with Apple to have it approved and released to the iTunes AppStore.

First time accepted submitter Gamoid writes This past school year, the Coachella Valley Unified School District gave out iPads to every single student. The good news is that kids love them, and only 6 of them got stolen or went missing. The bad news is, these iPads are sucking so much bandwidth that it's keeping neighboring school districts from getting online. Here's why the CVUSD is considering becoming its own ISP.

Trailrunner7 writes There are a number of undocumented and hidden features and services in Apple iOS that can be used to bypass the backup encryption on iOS devices and remove large amounts of users' personal data. Several of these features began as benign services but have evolved in recent years to become powerful tools for acquiring user data.
Jonathan Zdziarski, a forensic scientist and researcher who has worked extensively with law enforcement and intelligence agencies, has spent quite a bit of time looking at the capabilities and services available in iOS for data acquisition and found that some of the services have no real reason to be on these devices and that several have the ability to bypass the iOS backup encryption. One of the services in iOS, called mobile file_relay, can be accessed remotely or through a USB connection can be used to bypass the backup encryption. If the device has not been rebooted since the last time the user entered the PIN, all of the data encrypted via data protection can be accessed, whether by an attacker or law enforcement, Zdziarski said.

An anonymous reader writes After a series of investigations, lawsuits, and fines over how in-app purchases are advertised and communicated to users, Google has agreed to stop labeling games that use in-app purchases as "Free." This change is the result of a request by the European Commission to stop misleading customers about the costs involved with using certain apps. "Games should not contain direct exhortation to children to buy items in a game or to persuade an adult to buy items for them; Consumers should be adequately informed about the payment arrangements for purchases and should not be debited through default settings without consumers' explicit consent." The EC notes that Apple has not yet done anything to address these concerns.

dcblogs (1096431) writes "Apple and IBM, which just announced partnership to bring iOS and cloud services to enterprises, have helped each other before. IBM played a key role in turning the Macintosh into a successful hardware platform at a point when it — and the company itself — were struggling. Nearly 25 years ago, IBM was a part of an alliance that gave Apple access to PowerPC chips for Macintosh systems that were competitive, if not better performing in some benchmarks, than the processors Intel was producing at the time for Windows PCs. In 1991, Apple was looking for a RISC-based processor to replace the Motorola 68K it had been using in its Macintosh line. "The PCs of the era were definitely outperforming the Macintoshes that were based on the 68K," he said. "Apple was definitely behind the power, performance curve," said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64. The PowerPC processor that emerged from that earlier pairing changed that. PowerPC processors were used in Macintoshes for more than a decade, until 2006, when Apple switched to Intel chips.

An anonymous reader writes: Last year, a U.S. District Judge ruled that Apple conspired with publishers to control ebook prices in violation of antitrust laws. Apple launched an appeal which has yet to conclude, but they've now agreed to a settlement. If the appeal verdict goes against Apple, they will be on the hook for $450 million, most of which will go to consumers. If they win the appeal, they'll still have to pay $70 million. $450 million is much more than the other publishers had to pay, but much less than the expected penalty from a damages trial set for August (and still only about one percent of Apple's annual profit).

jmcbain writes: According to an article on Recode, Apple and IBM have announced a major partnership to bring mobile services to enterprise customers. "The deal calls for IBM and Apple to develop more than 100 industry-specific applications that will run on the iPhone and iPad. Apple will add a new class of service to its AppleCare program and support aimed at enterprise customers. IBM will also begin to sell iPhones and iPads to its corporate customers and will devote more than 100,000 people, including consultants and software developers, to the effort. Enterprise applications will in many cases run on IBM's cloud infrastructure or on private clouds that it has built for its customers. Data for those applications will co-exist with personal data like photos and personal email that will run on Apple's iCloud and other cloud services."

An anonymous reader writes "Apple has never worked with any government agency from any country to create a backdoor in any of our products or services. We have also never allowed access to our servers," the company said Sunday in a bilingual statement on its China website. Users have to make the choice to enable the iPhones to calculate their locations, while "Apple does not track users' locations — Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so," the company said. The statement was in response to allegations by China's top state broadcaster that iOS7 software and its "Frequent Location" service posed a security risk. The data can be accessed easily, although labelled as "encrypted," and may lead to the disclosure of "state secrets," CCTV said.

MojoKid writes: "When NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden came forth last year with U.S. government spying secrets, it didn't take long to realize that some of the information revealed could bring on serious repercussions — not just for the U.S. government, but also for U.S.-based companies. The latest to feel the hit? None other than Apple, and in a region the company has been working hard to increase market share: China. China, via state media, has today declared that Apple's iPhone is a threat to national security — all because of its thorough tracking capabilities. It has the ability to keep track of user locations, and to the country, this could potentially reveal "state secrets" somehow. It's being noted that the iPhone will continue to track the user to some extent even if the overall feature is disabled. China's iPhone ousting comes hot on the heels of Russia's industry and trade deeming AMD and Intel processors to be untrustworthy. The nation will instead be building its own ARM-based "Baikal" processor.

redletterdave (2493036) notes that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has shipped its first batch of microprocessors to Apple as the iPhone maker looks to diversify its overseas suppliers. Apple will continue to rely on Samsung for its microprocessors, but as the rivalry between Apple and Samsung heats up in the mobile and soon wearable arenas, the deal with TSMC allows Apple to be less reliant on Samsung and therefore have more leverage with respect to price negotiations for future chips, as TSMC has supplanted Samsung Electronics as Apple's chief chipmaker for iPhones and iPads. Since 2011, Apple has been striking deals with other display and chip makers around Asia to reduce its dependence on Samsung. As a result of this slowdown in sales, Samsung on Monday announced operating income for its fiscal second quarter had sunk to a two-year low, blaming 'weak' sales of low- and medium-end smartphones, strong competition and subpar demand.
It may not be a household name like Intel or AMD, but TSMC is the world's biggest chip maker by revenue.

An anonymous reader writes With Apple rumored to be entering the wearables market this Fall, the company's string of notable hires continues. CNBC is reporting today that Apple recently poached Patrick Pruniaux away from TAG Heuer where he served as the company's VP of global sales for the past five years. TAG Heuer, in case you're unfamiliar, is a Swiss-based manufacturer of luxury watches. Word of the Pruniaux hire comes just shortly after it was discovered that Apple hired the lead software engineer away from Atlas Wearables, a company working on a fitness tracker capable of measuring a plethora of exercise related data.

mpicpp (3454017) writes Apple told news website The Loop that it has decided to abandon Aperture, its professional photo-editing software application. "With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture," Apple said in a statement to The Loop. "When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS." The new Photos app, which will debut with OS X Yosemite when it launches this fall, will also replace iPhoto. It promises to be more intuitive and user friendly, but as such, likely not as full featured as what Aperture currently offers.

redletterdave (2493036) writes "Apple is one of the biggest headphone makers in the world thanks to those signature white earbuds that have shipped with every iPod, iPhone, and iPad since 2001. But even two years after earbuds became 'EarPods,' the design could still be improved — and competitors are taking notice. Amazon recently unveiled a new pair of in-ear headphones that are magnetic, tangle-free and $5 cheaper than Apple's $30 EarPods, while smaller startups are promoting their own wireless and customizable 3D-printed earbuds. But Apple has an ace up its sleeve, in the form of patents for a set of headphones with 'one or more integrated physiological sensors' designed to help users keep track of their body stats."

itwbennett writes: "A proposed $324.5 million settlement of claims that Silicon Valley companies (Adobe, Apple, Google, and Intel) suppressed worker wages by agreeing not to hire each others' employees may not be high enough, a judge signaled on Thursday. Judge Lucy Koh didn't say whether she would approve the settlement, but she did say in court that she was worried about whether that amount was fair to the roughly 64,000 technology workers represented in the case. Throughout Thursday's hearing, she questioned not just the amount but the logic behind the settlement as presented by lawyers for both the plaintiffs and the defendants."

She was on holiday. He was tricked into returning.
Neither of them wanted to be there, but neither could avoid it.
Amy wants to be back under the sun in Portugal. However, when her suggestion is overruled in favour of a skiing holiday, even she can't turn it down. What she couldn't have predicted is that the holiday could make her break the one, and only, rule she has: not to get into a serious relationship again.
When Amy first sees Luke, she knows something is wrong. He's struggling to cope with everything and her need to help people makes him the perfect distraction from the cold. He hasn't been to the Alps in five years and he swore to never ski again. But as his defences are broken by Amy's persistence, the winter paradise begins to reawaken his desires.
However, with constant flashbacks triggering his anxiety, he's torn, battling conflicting emotions as he becomes increasingly captivated by Amy. She has a rule though. She didn't go on holiday to fall for someone and the last thing she needs is to ignore her own advice. Whether or not she can move past her insecurities will depend on whether Luke can face his biggest fear.

The newly developed Melbourne Central is a modern shopping center in Melbourne, Australia, with over 300 stores to explore and the innovative new 3on3 complex, the latest installment from entertainment developer EDG. Located on the Third level of the Center, 3on3 is a complete entertainment venue that incorporates Kingpin Bowling center, Barcode "Game Bar," and the Van Gogh Vodka bar.
What separates this location from your typical bowling alley and games venue is its lounge atmosphere, featuring LCD screens playing music video clips above the lanes, and funky and comfortable décor. The lighting effects are a major contributor to the venue's overall ambience. Lighting Designer Andrew Livingston of Bluebottle 3 Pty Ltd was able to incorporate the necessary branding elements that EDG puts into all their venues, with slick, colorful effect and decorative lighting. "Having several different venues on site, we wanted to make sure they all looked different but still complimented each other," says Livingston. "We also wanted the venue to be constantly moving with different looks or moods. Some of the changes are subtler than others, but over the course of a day, the entire venue has several different feels to it."
Lightmoves supplied dimming, lighting control, gobo projection, effect and decorative lighting throughout the venue. They supplied a total of forty-one Aureol Beam shapers, which are used for their gobo projection capabilities in a variety of applications, including the Lane numbers in the bowling lanes and a number of Logo projections for both the Van Gogh Bar and Barcode. A further 90 Aureol Beam Spots, with the optional Snoot for beam control, are scattered around the complex providing general spot lighting.
The four Bars located on the premises are decked out with Osram Linearlight LED strips. White strips are used to uplight all bottle displays, while green strips are used around the front of the Kingpin bar. For the main Barcode bar, a combination of Blue and Red Linearlight LED strips dim in and out to create the a two-color changing effect. This results in a blast of color that can be seen well before you enter the venue.
However, the Kingpin bowling alley features the most dynamic color display in the complex. An eye-catching colorwash at the far end of the bowling lanes greets people as they enter. Martin Alien 02 washlights were used to project the changing colors onto the frames at the end of the lanes. "During testing, it became apparent that the Aliens were best suited to this environment. The separate ballast and head as well as the tidy design meant we could sneak the fixture into a much smaller gap in the ceiling structure," explains Livingston. The colorwash, controlled by an Enttec DMX Streamer, is complimented by a series of color-changing LED tubes that zigzag their way across the bowling lanes. A series of low-voltage Wedgelites run up the length of the alley's side wall.
The entire lighting system is controlled by a range of Dynalite dimmers and switchers, with a Dimtek LCD touchscreen – located behind the main bar – as the command post for all lighting control and color-changing procedures for all three venues; allowing for very simple and convenient operation.
The creative combination of Bluebottle and Lightmoves have fashioned a venue of exploding color and class. As Livington puts it, "This kind of support from a supplier makes the concept of trying new ideas a lot more possible."

Wow. Never would I think that the Cannibal Corpse review pages would be infested by total idiots. You people sicken me. You write a negative review for every Cannibal Corpse record, complaining about how gross, vile, and disgusting it is. You, obviously, have no life, because Cannibal Corpse is happy that you hate them, and are probably laughing at all of you right now. If you want a review for this particular album, then skip a few paragraphs down. But, for the kiddies who bash Cannibal Corpse, don't skip anything. Because you obviously need schooling on death metal, because even though you think you know the sub-genre, you don't. Bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden are not death metal. And I am going to settle this now. Cannibal Corpse isn't the most talented band in death metal, but they deserve a lot more respect then they get. Also, they never claimed to being the best death metal band ever. They just play what they like and enjoy what they do, and that is making music.
These guys do not mean what they say. If you went around doing the stuff that Cannibal Corpse describes in their music, they would be arrested. These guys don't have serious criminal tracts. So, if they aren't doing the stuff they describe in their songs, then it is obviously made-up. Death metal is not about the lyrics. It's about the music. The vocals and lyrics are just there to add shock value, which Corpse is great at, because we got idiots reviewing the album who think this is real. Shock value has been used for awhile now, yet Cannibal Corpse has perfected it by being the first to implement the most wrong things ever to tape. Some of their album covers, most notably 1991's "Butchered At Birth" and 1992's "Tomb Of The Mutilated", were pulled off shelves and replaced by simple, white-background covers with the band name and album name in red (at least Butchered…I don't know about Tomb). The obscene song titles and even worse than obscene lyrics is the reason these guys are the top-selling death metal band ever, and also the reason they are still making albums now.
To say that these guys have no talent makes me want to slap them silly. First off, Jack Owen and Pat O'Brian are excellent guitarists. If you know anything about death metal, you would know that this stuff is very hard. Just take a look at some of the tabs from their later work. You losers who say this band has no talent could never pull this off. Bassist Alex Webster is a monster, and if you deny that, then I will destroy you. He has excellent bass-lines and amazing solos every once in a while. He is still today one of my favorite bassists. Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz is another great death metal drummer. He has amazing double pedal work, and should definitely be looked into if you are a drummer. So, you got two great guitarists, one of the best bassists ever in metal and a monster drummer, who play extremely technical stuff at high-speeds. Chris Barnes was a good vocalist, and his replacement George Fisher is even better. You morons complain about the vocals. I think that if they tried to sing over the chaos in the background, it would sound pretty bad. Also, at least the Barnes years, the vocals were mostly incomprehensible, which is a good thing, depending on how you look at it.
But the thing that angers me the most is the people who say about fans. Come on. They say that we Corpse fans can't get laid, can't get a girlfriend, like the lyrics, and other stuff that is so stupid that I am not going to repeat it. First off, I have a steady girlfriend and I do not have a fetish to (…) to the lyrics of Cannibal Corpse. Sure, there are some fans who worship this band and are sick necropedohomobestialiacs, but that is with every band. Also, with some idiots saying that Cannibal Corpse fans are violent, angry, dumb 19 year old unemployed losers in Kreator t-shirts, I must correct that. Every Corpse fan I know is really down-to-earth, intelligent and really has an open-mind. Unlike the angsty Slipknot 666 fan who has a hemorrhage because he couldn't stay up past his bedtime. If you can't realize these points, then I have given up. Sure, most of you will contue on and on and the fight will continue, but whatever. The lyrics, as ridiculous as the song titles, can be quite disturbing and hard to digest, but are meant to be taken with a grain of salt. Come on…really. If you take a song like "I *** Blood" seriously, then I really pity your soul.
Okay, THE ALBUM REVIEW finally. While "Tomb Of The Mutilated" cannot come close with the other Barnes releases, it sure beats the hell out of the 1996-2003 years of Cannibal Corpse. The band released the highly-controversial "Butchered At Birth" a year before in 1991, (I think you could figure out what that album was about), and because of this garnered some mainstream attention with their disturbing, violent lyrics. But, instead of recycling the same gore-ridden lyrics, they added something that no band really touched before, and that was the song topics of the big "R" word. Starting with the ridiculous album cover of a male and female zombie having "fun", the song titles indicate this album is going to be one helluva ride. With over the top song lyrics and titles, Cannibal Corpse became "mainstream" through politicians, censorship programs and even Jim Carrey. While not their best, this album was important for the band, with some great, memorable riffs to keep you headbanging for a while.
The album starts off with "Hammer Smashed Face" and "I *** Blood". Both songs are fan favorites, and still their most popular live acts. Both songs have great riffs, intense drumming and even a bass solo in "Hammer…". "Addicted To (…) Skin", "Split Wide Open", and the most disturbing song ever written, "Necropaedophile", all add a ton of shock value, but these songs do not add up to really anything memorable. These are the filler songs, really just there for people to go "they really said that?". Actually, "Split Wide Open" is alright. "The Crypic Stench" is another great, lesser known song. Then, the best song title ever, "Entrails Ripped…" and so forth. Not their most memorable song, but that song title just makes you think…Next, "Post Mortal (…)" (which is sounding pretty tame compared to everything else) is next, followed by the death metal classic "Buried In The Backyard". These songs are also amazing, and cap off a pretty good album by Cannibal Corpse.
To cap this review off, this album is essential for any death metal fan or any person wanting to get into the quality death metal out there. Not for the weak, and certainly not for the people who can't take life with an open mind. The reissue, along with "Eaten Back To Life" and "Butchered At Birth", was remastered in 2002, and an added live song is at the end of each of those albums. If you own the original, then you might just want to invest in the reissue. The reissue's artwork is either tweaked a little in terms of intensity or brightness. All four original Chris Barnes albums were banned in Germany and some other places, but the ban was pulled in June 2006. There is also one single off this album, and that is "Hammer Smashed Face", which was released as an EP with two covers of Possessed and Black Sabbath.

San Antonio police: Hotel robbery suspect Calvin Murry has to borrow pen from clerk to write demand note
Calvin Murry, 34, accused of robbing 2 downtown motels
SAN ANTONIO - Robbery suspect Calvin Murry, 34, has been arrested in connection with a pair of hotel robberies, including one where San Antonio police said he borrowed a pen from the clerk to write a demand note.
San Antonio police said a clerk at the Staybridge Suites on Hoefgen Street called to report the robbery Monday afternoon.
San Antonio police said the clerk told officers a man had walked up, asked to borrow a marker, then returned a few minutes later with a handwritten note saying, "Give me the money from the drawer or I'll kill you."
The clerk said she refused at first, but then complied, handing over cash.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated later that evening, officers responded to a robbery in progress at Hotel Indigo on Alamo Street. They arrested Murry at the scene.
Detectives compared surveillance pictures from both businesses and determined Murry was the man behind both robberies, the affidavit stated. Murry is charged with robbery.

The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services annual survey said 85,279 drivers illegally passed a school bus while picking up or dropping off students in 29 states, including Montana, last year.
It is a trend many school bus drivers are seeing across the state.
"For whatever reason, we have our share of motorists that run through the red light," said Robert Evans, Belgrade Public Schools transportation director.
"We seem to have a problem on some major streets where people just totally disregard the bus and it is scary," said Stacy Roberts, First Student's Bozeman manager.
It is scary because Roberts says getting on and off the bus is the most dangerous place for a child, and many drivers aren't stopping for the bus.
Parents are concerned too.
"It is not only harmful for the children, but it is harmful for everybody," said Mirandee Drube, Belgrade Middle School parent. "I'm in the concern of my own children and everybody else on that bus."
Montana's law, like many states, requires drivers to prepare to stop when they see the yellow warning lights flashing on the school bus and stop when the red lights flash and the stop sign is extended.
ABC FOX Montana stood at a bus stop along Jackrabbit Lane January 17 and saw three people pass the bus while it was picking up Belgrade Middle School students. The bus driver, Sandra Joubert, said she has people run her stop arm several times a week at different stops on her route.
"Jackrabbit is terrible," said Joubert. "It's pretty constant on Jackrabbit. And for most of the drivers that drive Jackrabbit, they have the same problem."
She also has people pass her at stops on Valley Center Road and in the Valley Grove subdivision, which makes up most of her route.
It isn't a problem just in Belgrade. Roberts said they have two or three drivers a day saying they had someone run their stop arm. First Student driver Kelley Cabrera said she has people not stop for her bus almost daily.
"More times than not I have about six people who run my reds during the day, in the morning," said Cabrera. "I generally have more in the afternoon."
There are consequences for not stopping for a school bus while it is picking up and dropping off students.
The Bozeman Police Department issued 43 citations last year to people who didn't stop for school buses, up significantly from eight in 2011.
Montana Highway patrol issued 35 citations statewide in 2013, up from 22 in 2012.
Roberts said they report the best they can, turning in about six drivers a week to the police, but they can't always get what they need.
"The police work really well with us and going and issuing citations when we are able to get license plates and descriptions, but that happens too infrequent unfortunately," said Roberts.
Montana Highway Patrol Sergeant Patrick McLaughlin said they would issue more citations when they get everything they need, but they run into problems.
"Sometimes we're not getting a good license plate," said McLaughlin. "Sometimes the license plate doesn't back to the description of the vehicle, or when our officers go and check the area, they aren't finding the vehicle."
McLaughlin said they have special patrols to catch people who are not stopping at bus stops.
"We'll put a trooper on the bus and a trooper in the unmarked car and if something that happens, the trooper on the bus will actually call ahead," said McLaughlin.
McLaughlin said they haven't done that for a few years because they haven't had the manpower, but after seeing our video of three cars passing the school bus, he plans to get that program going again.
Montana law doesn't require a police officer to witness the violation, but if someone is able to get your license plate number, vehicle description and your description if you pass a school bus, you can face a fine up to $500, plus two points on your license.

Flash AS3 - Passing between variables
Hi There,
I'm trying to retrieve a score from a database, hold it in a variable and then use it within other action script functions.
I have managed to retrieve the score froom the database just fine, however I am having a problem passing the result from the user_score variable to the score variable so that I can reuse the value throughout the rest of the action script.
Can anyone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
Please see the snippet below:
//Get The Score from the database var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); request.url = "http://www.operationclimatechange.com.au/layer/ws/xFlashScore.php"; loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES; loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler); loader.load(request); //Function to Get Score of the logged in user and store it in a variable called "score" function completeHandler(event:Event):void{ var user_score=event.target.data.score; user_score=score; trace(user_score); // Score Scale // //score user earns in missions var score=0; var total_balloons=1400;//total balloons available 1200 var balloons=0;// balloons earnt or lost in the game for each object var user_balloons=score+balloons;//total ballons won or lost during game var getPercentage=user_balloons/total_balloons; this.balloonBar.height=getPercentage*100; trace(score); }

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Caribbean Spiny Lobster Panulirus argus
Species ID: P.PA
Description: A large lobster lacking the familiar claws of its Atlantic relative. This species has small spines all over its body and two long, thick spiny antennae. The head and legs are bluish while the body and tail are range to brown with large white spots. Sexes appear similar and juveniles resemble adults with a more purple hue
Maximum Size: 45 cm (1.5 ft)
Longevity: Approximately 20 years
Status: Not currently on the IUCN endangered species list, but recognized as an animal that could become endangered in the near future
Caribbean Spiny Lobster & People: Caribbean spiny lobsters are highly sought after as food both commercially and recreationally. If high fishing pressures persist without proper management, lobster populations will become at risk of decline in the near future
Geographical Range: The Caribbean spiny lobster is found on coral reefs throughout the Caribbean. Its range extends north to the Carolinas and south to Brazil
Coral Reef Zone: Back reef, fore reef and dropoff zones
Favourite Habitats: Caribbean spiny lobsters are found in reef areas with caves, crevices and other substantial cover. Juveniles often prefer seagrass beds, which offer protection and camouflage
Depth Range: 0–90 m (0–295 ft)
A Day in The Life
Dawn: Feeding declines and spiny lobsters seek shelter
Day: Most spiny lobsters hide in crevices, but during breeding season mating may occur in the open
Dusk: Lobsters emerge from hiding places to forage
Night: Lobsters actively forage around the reef for food
Who Eats Who
The Caribbean spiny lobster feeds on small invertebrate prey such as snails, clams, chitons, and crabs. Lobsters are also detritivores, feeding on dead and decaying organisms. Despite its spines, the Caribbean spiny lobster is a favourite meal of many predators including sharks, rays, groupers, triggerfish, moray eels, sea turtles, octopus, and humans!
Scuba Diver & Snorkeler Best Practices
Participate in environmental initiatives : Participate in underwater cleanup projects and public education efforts whenever possible. These initiatives make a huge difference to the coral reef, and help spread word of eco-diving best practices.
During the day, lobsters often huddle inside protective caves and crevices, where they are easy to approach. During a night dive, lobsters can be found roaming the reef. Approach slowly and be aware of their long spiny antennae, which they will wave in defence.
Feeding Behaviour
Caribbean spiny lobsters are omnivores and detritivores. They prefer to eat slow-moving prey like snails, clams, crabs, urchins and other invertebrates, but they have also been recorded occasionally feeding on vegetation. Lobsters creep about the reef at night and use their front legs to bring prey near the mouth where strong, plate-like mandibles allow them to crush hard shells and reach the meat inside.
Observe, record & share:
O P.PA-101 – Foraging: Spiny lobsters forage around the reef looking for invertebrate prey
O P.PA-102 – Scavenging: Spiny lobsters pick at carcasses on the seabed
Attack & Defense Behaviour
Caribbean spiny lobsters must defend themselves against a wide variety of reef predators. The spiny lobster's primary defence, aside from its spiny armour, is to hide in caves and crevices which are easily defended. If predators approach, the spiny lobster waves its antennae in defence. By rubbing their antennae against a plate at the base of each eye, in the same way as a violin bow rubs against the strings, lobsters can also produce a variety of sounds that can frighten predators away. In open areas, threatened lobsters may snap their tail rapidly forward, in a motion known as a "tail-flip", which allows them to rocket backwards at great speed.
Observe, record & share:
O P.PA-201 – Antennae waving: Lobsters wave their long, spiny antennae in a threatening display
O P.PA-202 – Hiding in caves: During the day, and in threatening situations at night, lobsters seek shelter under ledges or in caves, sometimes in groups
O P.PA-203 – Tail-flip escape: When lobsters feel threatened in an open area, they may use a "tail-flip" to escape
O P.PA-204 – Sound production: If a potential threat does not respond to an antennae display, spiny lobsters can produce an intimidating rasping or grinding sound
Reproductive Behaviour
Caribbean spiny lobsters reproduce sexually and do not change sex during reproductive development. During breeding season, males leave their hiding spots in broad aylight to look for females, which remain hidden. Once a male has found a female, he uses his front legs to grasp her gently and pull her out of her cave headfirst. The male slides his body under hers so that the lobsters rest belly-to-belly, and he then transfers a small sac containing sperm to the female's tail before she returns to her shelter. When the female's eggs are ready to fertilize, she breaks the sac open to liberate the sperm. The fertilized eggs are held under her tail for roughly four weeks until they hatch. Females with eggs are known as "gravid" or "berried" females. The breeding season of this lobster spans late spring through summer, with mating occurring during the day.
Observe, record & share:
O P.PA-301 – Daytime exploration: Lobsters wandering the reef during the day are likely male lobsters looking for females to mate with
O P.PA-302 – Gravid female: A female lobster holding eggs beneath her tail
O P.PA-303 – Coaxing the female: Males use their front legs to gently pull the female from her shelter.
O P.PA-304 – Sliding under the female: The male slides under the female in order to transfer his sperm
O P.PA-305 – Spawn transfer: While beneath the female, the male shudders as he transfers his sperm sac to the female, who escapes to shelter immediately afterwards
Highlight Behaviors
Moulting: Moulting is a rarely witnessed, nocturnal behaviour that is a dangerous, yet unavoidable part of life for the Caribbean spiny lobster. Because the lobster's hard shell does not grow as the soft body beneath gets larger, they must periodically shed the old, cramped shell in exchange for a new, larger one. When a lobster is ready for moulting, the old shell splits at the base of the tail. The body carapace and tail move apart and the soft bodied lobster emerges. The newly moulted lobster often sits by its shell while recovering from the effort of moulting before moving away to shelter. The new shell is secreted rapidly over the next few days, and is larger than the old. During this time the lobster is highly vulnerable to predation, and usually stays hidden. Divers and snorkelers may find old disused lobster shells lying around the reef.
Did You Know?
• Like sea turtles, sharks and rays, Caribbean spiny lobsters are also able to detect and follow magnetic fields which they use to navigate.
• Spiny lobsters undergo seasonal mass migrations as sea surface temperatures drop during the fall, often after the first strong storm. Spiny lobsters exit their caves and undertake migrations,in amazing single-file formations, sometimes consisting of around 50 individuals, towards deeper water where temperatures are more stable.
• As for many sea creatures, size determines fertility in Caribbean spiny lobsters. For example, an 8 cm female may carry up to 230,000 eggs, while a 40 cm female may carry up to 2.6 million.

Thank you dear Kiliwia. I was a bit nervous posting a Review here when I admittedly have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to perfumes. I will have a look at your Reviews and Wardrobe too. Thanks again so much for the kind welcome.
Hi Kiliwia!
Thanks for the well wishes
Thanks S! I had a great day! I haven't been on basenotes much lately! So nice to here from you!

Have a great Easter!
Thank you plushy bunny!
Dear Kiliwia!!! I am reading only now your old message. It's very long time I don't connect with basenotes!!!
Many thanks!!!
Thank you so much, K.! You're not so late at all, don't you worry about that. I appreciate your good thoughts!
Thanks for the kind thoughts about my sick doggie. She is doing better, but the vet let me know it would take awhile. Our pets are certainly part of our families, aren't they?

Co- hosting Central Indiana Cub Fest near Tipton Indiana September of 2014
Re: Central Indiana Cub Fest 2012
Rosie and I plan to be there. Bud and Joyce stopped by the barnyard Sunday and Bud was telling us about the dates. It's always a good time there.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Cooking With Kids: Getting Them Involved
There are lots of reasons why parents should cook with kids. First of all, it's fun! If you can get over the fact that half the flour in the cookie recipe will end up on the floor, cooking with kids is often as enjoyable for parents as it is for kids. It's also educational. Getting children involved in preparing food teaches them math skills, reading skills, safety, and creativity, in addition to helping them learn responsibility and awareness about the natural world. Plus, if you want your kids to know how to prepare dinner for the whole family when they're teenagers, cooking with them while they're little will have such later paybacks.
To start cooking with a child of any age, a trip to the bookstore or library is a good idea. There you can buy or borrow one of the many wonderful recipe books, like Michah Pulleyn and Sarah Bracken's Kids in the Kitchen: 100 Delicious, Fun and Healthy Recipes to Cook and Bake (Add a wooden spatula, measuring cup, and mixing bowl to a recipe book and you've got a perfect birthday present for any school-aged child.)
You can get your younger child involved with what you're cooking at dinnertime by giving him simple tasks that he can accomplish, like the following.
- Cutting butter with a dull knife
- Pouring flour and other ingredients from the measuring cup into the bowl
- Stirring (and licking the batter, unless it contains raw eggs in which case do not let your child eat it)
- Cracking eggs (some parents don't like to let kids do this but the inevitable shell is easy to fish out and egg cracking is a great job for a child of any age)
Older children can help choose recipes and follow them (with some supervision), and set the table. Encourage your child to add something special like a vase of cut flowers or fancily folded cloth napkins. All kids should participate in cleanup. A child-sized broom, spray bottle with vinegar and water or another nontoxic cleaning product, and some lively kids' music makes cleanup more fun.
You can also do special cooking projects with your child. Baking whole wheat bread (and letting them shape the dough), making whole grain biscuits, and homemade pizzas are three surefire family activities that will keep children occupied for a long time. Here's our favorite kid-friendly recipe, which can be served with any meal.
Yummy Yogurt Biscuits
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or replace up to 1/2 cup with garbanzo bean flour, barley flour, oat flour, spelt flour, or some combo)
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 2 teaspoons non-aluminum baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3-5 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks (you can use less but more is yummier)
- 7/8 cup plain organic yogurt
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Mix together the dry ingredients. If you have a food processor, pulse once, and then add the butter. If you do it by hand with a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly mixture. If you don't have a pastry cutter, use two forks in a crisscross motion.
- Stir the yogurt into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, until it forms a ball. Knead the dough about 10 times on a lightly floured work surface. It may be a little sticky.
- Flatten the dough with your hands or a floured rolling pin until it is less than 1/2-inch thick. Dough may be a little sticky, which is fine. Try not to overwork it. Your kids can use cookie cutters to make the dough into pleasing shapes or freeform it as their imagination dictates.
- Decorate the biscuits with chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, raisins, dried cranberries, cinnamon, or anything else your kids might like.
- Bake the biscuits for 7 to 9 minutes. They should be golden brown on top and slide easily off the tray.
Safety Notes for Cooking with Kids
- Rinse eggs before cracking them and don't let children eat batter with raw eggs to avoid salmonella poisoning.
- Children under 12 using the stove or oven should be supervised at all times.
- Point pot handles to the back of the stove so eager children don't knock over hot food.

Baumberger earns Deans' Award
Recent Lake Erie College graduate Seth Baumberger was presented with the Deans' Award at the College's 149th commencement ceremony.
The Deans' Award has traditionally been presented to a graduating senior who has demonstrated academic achievement and outstanding service to the College community. The campus community was invited to submit nominations for the award and were to include examples of how the nominee has maximized their time at Lake Erie College while maintaining a solid academic record.
In his nomination, it was noted that "Seth has been an example of what a college student can be by focusing on their goals in all areas: academics, athletics and service to the College."
According to Dean of Students Billie Dunn, the College has benefited greatly by having Baumberger among the community. He has been described as conscientious, polite, professional, supportive and extremely driven.
There was considerable evidence of his growth and development from when he arrived four years ago. During which time Baumberger has represented the students on college-wide committees; consistently maintained over a 3.0 grade point average and served as a Summer Orientation Leader, an Ambassador and a co-captain on the baseball team.
He most recently completed an internship with IMG, the global leader in event management and talent representation in many sports, in the Arnold Palmer Enterprises division.
Through the internship, the sports marketing major gained a better knowledge of how the sports industry works by serving as a junior agent on a deal brokered for a LPGA player and performing web development on Arnold Palmer's website. Outside the office, Baumberger was in charge of a marquee at a PGA tournament in Memphis, Tenn., and surveyed NASCAR fans in Daytona, Fla.
As co-captain of the Storm baseball team, he contributed much to the success of the program serving as a leader both on and off the team. According to Head Baseball Coach Brian McGee, Baumberger was sidelined for two to three weeks with an injury, but Baumberger pitched through pain to help lead the team to victory against Hilbert College, clinching a playoff spot. "Off the field, his positivity maintained team morale. He will definitely be sorely missed not only as an athlete but as a man of character," said coach McGee.

PLATTSBURGH — CV-TEC Director Dr. Barry Mack will retire after nearly two decades on the job.
"I've been really fortunate to be here for 19 years," he said.
His letter of resignation was accepted by the Champlain Valley Educational Services Board on April 17; his last day will be July 31.
During his time at CV-TEC, Mack said, the percentage of high-school juniors and seniors from the school districts that participate in the school's Career and Technical Education programs has increased from 17 to 27 percent.
The school has grown to include 23 career-path programs at its three main campuses and two off-site locations.
In looking back at his 19 years at CV-TEC, Mack discovered that more than 13,000 high-school and adult students have attended its daytime programs.
"I was surprised by that," he said.
In the last five years, 93 percent of CV-TEC graduates were either employed or in post-secondary education. For the class of 2012, 59 percent went on for further education.
"I don't think our public knows that," Mack said.
He's proud that 98 percent of last year's CV-TEC graduates also passed the English language arts and math Regents exams. That compares with New York state targets of 72 percent and 73 percent, respectively.
Mack was instrumental in creation of the CV-TEC name and marketing campaign in 1995, as well as the change to Champlain Valley Educational Services from Clinton-Essex-Warren-Washington BOCES.
CV-TEC recently released a DVD that highlights the career-training programs it offers.
The school has also unveiled a new marketing slogan, Launch Your Career, that is starting to appear on its brochures.
Mack was at the helm as CV-TEC partnered with Clinton Community College to create Plattsburgh Aeronautical Institute on the satellite campus at the former Clinton County Airport.

Never misread or forget a measurement again! The Smart Tape is 25 foot tape measure that is digital. "It has buttons you don't see on a standard tape measure," noticed our expert.
Those buttons are for recording your measurements. You can record two 10 second measurements so you don't have to write it down. This product is $10, but Does It Work?
Stan Caballero works at Sutherlands and he uses a tape measure all the time. While I used the standard tape measurer, Stan used the digital one. "It's showing ten foot and half an inch. It's an 1/8 of an inch off from the standard tape measure," said Stan.
And another thing, this digital tape measure was not giving us consistent measurements of the lumber. It was showing us a completely different reading. "When it comes to lumber, when you're trying to fit something perfectly, you have to have it accurate down to the 16th inch or it's not going to work," said Stan.
What a bummer...the Smart Tape didn't even measure up against itself. It Doesn't work!
