Taiwanese uni sues Apple over FaceTime and QuickTime
A major Taiwanese university has sued Apple for a second time in a year, this time for infringing one of its patents related to video compression technology in FaceTime, QuickTime and other fruity software. The US Patent 7,561,078 refers to "an encoding system for a data set, particularly for a video data set", as follows: The …
Irony alert
Levels exceeding maximum permitted tolerance.
Re: Irony alert
Seems that this couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of folks.
Wait till they get sued for their ugly fake stitched leather effect - I'm sure someone in Taiwan already has a patent on that one.
Re: Irony alert
So that'd make it "patent leather", right?
Coat, now, yes.
They may struggle with that one
The application is dated 2007. H.264 (which QuickTime now uses and donated parts of its structure to the standard) dates back to 1998. Can you say "prior art"?
Re: They may struggle with that one
"Can you say "prior art"?
since when has prior art counted in patent cases - can you say "rounded corners".
Re: They may struggle with that one
1) learn the difference between a design patent (called a registered design in the EU) and a normal patent.
2) Prior Art is regularly used to dismiss patent claims, even in East Texas.
Re: They may struggle with that one
Because video is video and that's it? I'm not saying that prior art doesn't exist but just saying video existed before doesn't cut it. WAV files existed before mp3 or wma but does that mean the latter 2 are just copies and not worthy of protection? If quicktime and facetime started to use the patented technique in their videos after the patent was granted then they deserve this. If they used the technique before then I agree with you. Does anyone know the methods used by quicktime and when they started doing it?
Re: They may struggle with that one
Because the h.264 standard, which is what QuickTime uses, predates the patent. H.264 is a block based protocol that uses various methods to encode frames that would seem to cover what this patent claims.
Re: They may struggle with that one
Have none of you been watching Apple vs Samsung? Why would prior art be an issue?
Why do companies get to shop around?
Can someone explain to me, why companies (or a university in this case) get to shop around to choose the most patent litigation friendly court they can find?
Surely they should have to bring the case in either their own district or the district where the company they are attacking is headquartered? Ok some leeway could be given to have the court case in the area where the design, development, or manufacturing occurs, but just choosing a court which is seen as friendly but which has no specific connection with either firm seems ridiculous.
If I was someone living in East texas, I would be very annoyed that so much court time and court resources are being used up by firms that are not located in the area and which arent paying tax in the area! Not to mention the fact you're made to look like tits by the judges in the area but thats another point entirely...
Re: Why do companies get to shop around?
Then again, if you were living in east Texas, there's all those lawyers splurging on expenses in your hotels, strip bars, etc and busily funding a load of work for people in your court system with their legal fees. All paid for by companies who aren't based or subject to tax there.
It's like taxing them, only more subtle and I suspect that one of the reasons for east Texas being patent litigant friendly is that they do very nicely out of it.
i'm kind of hopeful that once the chinese / taiwanese accept
the US patent and copyright system that they empty their coffers of the 4 trillion us dollars they hold and pay for every single ripped off design they ever made. as for the US for coming out with such an absurd system - you get what you deserve. it's a win / win.
Prior Art
The description of the method sounds very much like the way that we believe the brain processes visual objects. Observing the patent system at work is like watching a couple of two year-old boys fighting over a sweet that just fell into the cat's water bowl.
Re: Prior Art
Both facetime and quicktime use H.264. The first draft of the standards came out in 2003. This long predates the taiwanese patent claim.
Incidentally, are they going to sue Sony for Blu Ray?

text: Romney Watch: Website Nowhere on Latest Unemployment Figures Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 6 Jul 2012 post a comment The disastrous June unemployment numbers are out. Where is the Romney campaign? The website greets visitors with a message about Obamacare--fair enough. Inside the site, there is a statement on the front page about the economy--from yesterday. At the Weekly Standard, there is a statement from Romney--"It doesn't have to be this way...America can do better"--but the most recent press release is about Venezuela, also from yesterday. Meanwhile, at the Obama campaign's website, Obama's economic plan is near the top of the page. The jobless statistics came out nearly three hours ago. Voters looking for answers from Mitt Romney are going to go to his campaign website--and will struggle to find his response or his solutions. It is too late in the news cycle, and in the campaign, for Romney to be caught flat-footed like this. Romney can do better.

I don't think I'm alone when I say that, occasionally, I want to burn Facebook to the ground and salt the earth where it stood.
Okay, maybe that's a little harsh, but sometimes it does seem like a huge time suck with very little payoff. I scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and instead of seeing updates from the pages I've "liked" or funny jokes or news from my friends, I get eleven jillion ads, followed by three humble-brags, a photo of someone's kitchen that's way cleaner than mine will ever be, and a workout update from someone I haven't seen since third grade.
But then, something comes along that completely redeems Facebook.
For me, that something was cake. Specifically, a cake made by my newest Facebook BFF – let's call her Flannery. Because that's her name. Or at least, that's what she tells me.
See, she was the friend of a friend on Facebook (now just a friend, because you know I'll e-stalk anyone who has a sense of humor about their terrifyingly horrible baking, until they finally relent and acknowledge my existence by accepting my friend request and then, probably, immediately blocking me) who posted that she borrowed a lamb cake mold from a buddy. Her buddy, Lizbeth, had used a similar mold to make the cake pictured above.
Of course it is. So Flannery decided to make one, too. Except, instead of a sweet, peaceful lamb, hers turned out like this.
What's my favorite part? Is it the vacant M&M eyes? Is it the the hope that maybe this purple Jabba the Lamb lump finally killed and devoured Barney? Is it the fact that the whole cake appears to be oozing, slug-like, backwards out of the pan? Is it the uncanny resemblance to a Peep that's been left on a hot dashboard for several hours?
No, my favorite part has to be the way Flannery tells the story of this unfortunate-looking cake's birth in It Puts The Frosting on the Lamb on her site, The Connor Chronicles. So. Funny.
And, of course, my second favorite part is having my faith restored in Facebook by finding a funny new friend (WHETHER SHE LIKES IT OR NOT) and a funny failed cake. I knew there was awesome stuff on there, somewhere. I just knew it.*
*I didn't really know it.
For more funny join Robyn of Hollow Tree Ventures, who'd like to leave you with a final image of what you'll never be able to un-see if you Google "purple lamb" and forget to add the all-important word, "cake."

Probation in murder of man whose dog urinated on lawn
BY DAN ROZEK Staff email@example.com
Charles Clements (inset) received probation for gunning down a dog owner after the man's pet urinated on his lawn.
Article Extras
A University Park grandfather placed on probation for gunning down a dog owner after the man's puppy urinated on his prized lawn was "absolutely relieved" he won't go to prison.
But relatives of Joshua Funches, who was shot to death during the May 9 confrontation, were outraged that Charles Clements will not serve time behind bars.
"This is certainly not justice," Funches' aunt Gail Williams said after Clements was sentenced to four years of probation Wednesday.
"This is very, very unfair and it is not justice at all," Williams said.
Clements, 69, a Marine Corps veteran and retired truck driver, faced up to 20 years in prison when he was convicted of second-degree murder in October .
The Will County jury refused to convict Clements of a more serious charge of first-degree murder.
Before he was shot, Funches, 23, punched Clements while the men argued after Funches' 3-month-old fox terrier urinated on Clements' well-tended front yard.
On Wednesday, Judge Daniel J. Rozak opted not to impose a prison term, noting that Clements had no previous arrests or legal problems — not even traffic tickets — and took action only after he was hit by Funches.
"It was uncontroverted the defendant was physically provoked," Rozak said, though the veteran jurist frankly acknowledged the circumstances of the case were unusual.
"I can't ever recall a similar situation," said Rozak, who has served as a judge for more than 30 years.
Clements didn't speak after the sentencing, but his attorney, Daniel Collins, said he was "thankful" the judge opted not to send him to prison.
"He's absolutely relieved and very thankful to the judge for his consideration," Collins said.
"We believe the judge made the right decision," he said.
Funches, a father of three young children, was walking his dog in the 500 block of Landau Road in the far south suburb when his pet wandered onto Clements' yard.
Clements confronted Funches about the dog and at one point took a .45-caliber pistol out of his pocket.
But Clements didn't fire the weapon until after Funches cursed at him, then punched him, according to testimony during his trial.
Clements told police he shot Funches once in the abdomen because he feared his younger neighbor would harm him.
Funches' relatives scoffed at that explanation, instead questioning how Clements could avoid prison after shooting an unarmed man.
"It's unbelievable to know that in this day and age you can follow a person down the street, pull a gun in broad daylight when children are on the street, kill a man, get charged with second-degree murder and walk out of a courtroom," Williams said.
Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said in a statement that he respected the judge's ruling.
"After presiding over the trial and hearing all the facts and circumstances, the judge determined that probation was an appropriate sentence," Glasgow said in the statement.
"He is an excellent judge and we respect his decision," he said.

Fires extinguished at 2 vacant homes in Birmingham
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Firefighters in Birmingham are investigating two suspicious fires that broke out at nearby vacant homes within 40 minutes of each other.
Al.com reports (http://bit.ly/11MZLrv ) the fires on 5th Avenue and 4th Avenue were reported Saturday between 10 a.m. and 10:40 a.m. Fire officials say crews snuffed out both blazes in the Eastlake area within five to 10 minutes. No one was injured.
Battalion Chief Donald Jones says both fires were suspicious. The cause of both fires is still being investigated and authorities have not determined if they are related.
About three weeks ago, five houses caught fire in Birmingham's Woodlawn area on April 9.

Family, organization work to find elderly man's killer
Updated On: Oct 06 2012 07:54:57 AM EDT
The family of an elderly man who was killed in June said they don't want the public to forget their loved one's story.
According to investigators, George Davis, 82, was found beaten to death inside his home.
"We just want to keep community aware of what's going on," said Vincent Davis, George's son.
The family works with Men Against Destruction Defending Against Drugs and Social Disorder (MAD DADS) to find the man who killed Davis.
The nonprofit organization has gone door to door in the past to hand out fliers that read "Breaking The Code Of Silence."
"It's getting easier," said Vincent. "But we still need closure and want to put it to bed and keep pushing for someone to be charged with this crime."
The family said it wants to remind people to contact Crime Stoppers if they have information about who killed their Davis.
"This one is particularly close to our hearts that an 82-year-old senior was beat brutally the way Mr. Davis was and the community hasn't stepped up that someone hasn't turned him in," said Donald Foy with MAD DADS.

Wipro Q3 net income up 18 percent, above expectations
Summary: Indian software services provider posts an 18 percent rise in net income at US$313 million for the quarter ended December, while revenues grow 10 percent to reach US$2.01 billion.
Wipro's net income grew 18 percent to US$313 million for its third quarter, beating analyst expectations.
In a statement Friday, the Bangalore-headquartered software services provider reported revenues of US$2.01 billion for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2012, a year-on-year growth of 10 percent. Its profits beat IIFL (India Infoline Finance Limited) analyst estimates by about 8 percent to 9 percent.
The vendor's IT services revenues, which accounted for 78 percent of its total revenue, grew 4.8 percent year-on-year to reach US$1.58 billion. For the quarter ending Mar. 31, 2013, Wipro is expecting revenues from IT services to grow from US$1.59 million to US$1.63 million.
Commenting on its third-quarter results, T.K Kurien, the company's executive director and CEO of IT Business, said: "We have seen broad-based growth in the quarter with all our verticals growing sequentially. Our improvement in customer and employee engagement is reflected in client-mining, with 10 customers contributing more than US$100 million and lower attrition."
During the third quarter, Wiprod said it secured a "large R&D applications and infrastructure services deal" from a Europe-based telecom equipment vendor with which it had a longstanding partnership.
Wipro's Indian competitors Tata Consultancy and HCL Technologies also released their results this week, both reporting results above expectations with Tata reporting US$651 million in net profit while HCL booked US$176.3 million in net profit.
In mid-2012, Wipro restructured its telecom business to focus on services to buffer against slowdown in the global telecom equipment market.

The first ring we saw was the one we fell in love with! We were still not sure, so we left.
A week and hundreds of rings and diamonds later, we were at a different Ashcroft & Oak location when we called to see if the ring was still there, and it was.
We went back the next day and bought the ring. We worked with the manager and she was exceptional!!

We have had good relations with this jeweler and bought not only the engagement ring but also our wedding bands from them. I felt like the value was good and I really like the Canadian Ice diamonds.

I really don't like shopping here UNLESS Kim is working. She is honestly the only one who doesn't appear to be working on commission. Everyone else there is a bit pushy and is only concerned with getting a sale rather than being patient and letting a bride and groom decide on what's the best choice for them. With brides and grooms who are knee deep in wedding planning, the last thing you want to be bothered with is a pushy salesman. Like is this a jewelry store or a used car lot?
But to but a spin on things, when working with Kim she makes your experience what it should be. She is patient and doesn't add any pressure to your shopping experience, which keeps us coming back and requesting her each visit. She helped my husband pick out my engagement ring and assisted us in choosing the perfect wedding bands. With the warranty that they offer, you don't have to take your ring in every 6 months like most and that was ideal for a couple like us with a busy lifestyle. We love our rings and we love the service that Kim provides each time we visit Ashcroft and Oak at Beachwood Place.

When we purchased the groom's weddig band and when my fiancé purchased my engagement ring, their in store service was nice. But we placed my wedding band on layaway and made a payment and they completely lost all our records. We have had to call and check in since we've been stationed out of state. They have us the run around at all their locations and every single rep we spoke with was rude and extremely unprofessional. The manager we finally spoke with kept interrupting us as we were trying to explain our issue then hung up on us. When we called back to get a name for a complaint they asked for ours in return, as if they'd like to report us. Very disappointing and inappropriate. Don't ever make your investment with them.

Do not use this company. We have had constant issues with them. They nearly lost my engagement ring, (they found it on the floor), ordered the wrong wedding band, and after the two were finally soldered together, the ring came back a whole size smaller than how we ordered it. And now, even after calling corporate, we have to pay for THEIR mistake. Should have went to Kay. DO NOT USE THEM!

We looked all over for a ring I loved that was in his budget and A&O was the place. They were very helpful and they were even able to upgrade the size of the stone and still stay with in budget. I still go back and get my ring cleaned and scrubbed and the staff is very polite.

very displeased with our purchase from the ashcroft and oak in beachwood mall. we ordered artcarved wedding bands 5 months prior to our wedding. the womens band was nothing but problems since we picked it up and the band never had the artcarved logo. we question whether it was even an artcarved band.
we brought it back once to have it fixed and it still was wrong. i told them they needed to send it back to artcarved over 2 weeks ago and now it's 37 days til our wedding and they are telling me we cannot have it sent to artcarved bc it does not have inscription.
this store is a hot mess!!! nobody should have to question whether their band is a fake when you are spending as much as we did. do not go to this store!!!

My fiance purchased my princess solitaire ring from there (Beechwood mall location) and within sixty days..conveniently after the return expiration date the diamond is loose. I call the store speak with a store manager Kim who was very helpful and understanding. I drop the ring off two weeks later when I go to get it cleaned the jeweler says the stone is still loose and has not been fixed. I call the store again, drop it off which takes another week and Im happy it seems fixed. Then a month later againg its back loose. I call the store and speak with an extremely rude and defiant sales rep named Noelle. I was appalled at her blatant disrespect and negative attitude. So this makes the third time that I have dropped the ring off and it has not been six months. I simply can not get an answer from these people, they are always nice upon greeting me in the store, the only negative person I have encountered has been the Noelle person everyone else has been helpful and expressed some type of concern. I also wanted to purchase tennis bracelets 6 for my bridal party along with a ring for my fiance, seeing how the situation is going with my ring, I will NOT purchase my finace's ring, my third band or the bracelets for my bridal party there.

We had purchased an engagement ring from the Ashcroft & Oak store in Beavercreek, Ohio. The sales person promised it would take "no longer then 4 weeks to arrive". One day after the promised delivery date my girlfriend called the store and was informed that the wrong ring had arrived 2 weeks prior and was shipped back. The new date was now an additional 4 weeks. After complaining that that was not what we were promised she was told "it's not a big deal it's only 4 weeks .Why is it a problem, did you need it for something?" She asked to speak with the manager and was told he was on vacation but someone would call her. No one called. After leaving messages for 3 days I called and the manager finally called back. I explained the situation and I told him to cancel the order. Since it was a "special" order I was told I could not cancel. Amazingly the ring arrived in 2 days later! A very special event that we had planned e had to be canceled because of the poor quality of communication and service we received from Ashcroft & Oak. Of course my girlfriend had no intention of wearing that ring. We purchased an engagement ring from the Jared store in Miamisburg, Ohio and the selection and customer service were Excellent!! We will never purchase another item from Ashcroft & Oak.

I got my wedding ring and band here.... then i got it cleaned i had 4 loose stones and by center of my ring has 4 square diamonds in the center of my ring.... they are off center and chipped....have been waiting for my new ring for 2 months... The girls that worked there are amazing... but as for ashcroft and oak... im not very satisfied.. plus the jeweler said that he fixed my ring and it didnt even get touched... so always make sure when you buy a ring here you get the most expensive coverage plan!!

I have had my wedding bands for under 4 months now and have had to have 4 diamonds replaced. I've also had to have it re-dipped 3 times. The first time a diamond went missing, it took around a week to fix. The second time it took 2 weeks and the third time, when they told me it was just loose, it took 3 weeks. I've now lost the 4th and am frankly tired of being without my ring more than I have had it. Even though they have a good warranty system - they've replaced all for free - I should have never had to replace this many or be with out my ring for so long. It is shotty workmanship and poor customer service. I do not even want my ring anymore. I want nothing to do with their business. I would not recommend buying anything from this store.

We visited many jewelers to look at wedding rings, and we were blown away by the quality of service and products at Ashcroft and Oak. They stand by their jewelry, provide a quality experience, and have the best value. They are a family operated business and it shows.

In the hubbub of Draft night, Aaron Gordon did not actually get the chance to follow the picks as they came down.
Usually after picks get selected and go up to the stage to shake Adam Silver's hand, there is a whirlwind of media obligations and photos that get completed before the night is threw (followed by a typical overnight trip to wherever he gets drafted). Gordon was excused for not knowing the Magic had traded the 12th pick in the draft to Philadelphia for Elfrid Payton's draft rights.
Gordon heard the news from the Orlando media when he got on the phone and called in to the Amway Center to speak to media who would cover him on a daily basis.
"We got Elfrid? Elfrid is on our team? Oh my goodness! That is absolutely incredible," Gordon said, excitement clearly building at this news, not yet made official but widely reported. "He's my kind of player. He plays both ends. He handles the ball. He's a good defensive point guard. He's very very unselfish. He plays with a lot of heart. And he has a good character. He's a good guy to play around."
Gordon was extremely familiar with Elfrid Payton by the time the draft came around.
Gordon and Payton teamed up often in 2-on-2 workouts before the Draft with various teams. They claimed they lost only once or twice. The chemistry to do that was built the summer before.
The Magic's two first-round picks have been teammates before. Their joinder in Orlando is a rekindling of their union from July 2013 when the two were starters on the USA team for the FIBA U19 World Championships. The partnership then was successful for both of them and they hope it can be again.
Team USA won the gold medal. Gordon was named MVP and averaged a team-high 12.6 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game. This was a roster that included projected 2015 Lottery pick Jahlil Okafor. Payton was great too, outplaying Marcus Smart and even Dante Exum. He averaged 6.1 points per game and 2.1 assists per game.
The two showed a lot of chemistry in that tournament and a tremendous amount of respect.
"It's great, man," Payton said of playing with Gordon again. "Aaron is a great person and a great player also. We have a lot of chemistry from the U19 team. We were together in some workouts and wound up playing on the same team. I'm just excited to play with him.
"He has a great motor. He is extremely athletic. He is a great player. I'm excited to play with him."
There is obviously tremendous respect between the two players. They had great chemistry working in Billy Donovan's intense trapping defense and that turned into turnovers and easy offensive opportunities. The fast break was clearly where Payton and Gordon thrived and Team USA, with its superior depth and talent, just continued to pour it on and put pressure on opponents.
They won the gold medal easily.
When Rob Hennigan assessed his draft picks, the chemistry they had built together last summer was part of the valuation.
"It was a factor," Hennigan said. "I think as we were watching those games, their competitive nature stood out to us and their ability to impact the game in a variety of ways left a positive impression with us. It was a factor, to be honest with you.
"When we had them in for visits, they had mentioned each other when we asked them about the experience in Prague. As we watched that tournament, you could just really see the competitive that botht hose guys played with. That was attractive to us."
During Summer League, the chemistry was not readily apparent on the offensive end. Gordon struggled to find his fit offensively and injuries to Romero Osby and to Dewayne Dedmon forced Gordon to play more power forward than he had prepared to play. The chemistry and versatility on defense though were readily apparent.
As Jay King of MassLive.com wrote, both Gordon and Payton share fond memories of their time in Prague with that team. Gordon noted how the games were often more competitive and intense than the games. It was an incredible time of growth for both Gordon and Payton. They likely owe their high draft selection to the work they put in and the confidence they gained that summer.
The chemistry they developed then should help them as they grow as professionals now. The Magic are certainly banking on that.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Police say the bound bodies of two people have been found in a Philadelphia river and a third person who was stabbed is being treated at a hospital.
Police say officers were called to the Schuylkill (SKOO'-kul) River in Fairmount Park early today.
Police say the surviving victim, who had duct tape on his face, told police that when he was abducted, robbed and thrown into a van early this morning, two other people already were in there. He says the all were bound, repeatedly stabbed and tossed into the river.
The man says he was able to free himself and swim to shore. The bodies of the other two men were found in the river.

The game is currently under development and features are added frequently.

Music veteran MC Hammer has updated fans on his current legal status after recently being arrested on obstruction charges in California.
According to Hammer, all reported charges have been dismissed as of this week.
It appears that Dublin police did not want to touch the charges against rapper MC Hammer. Taking to his Twitter audience to announce the news Friday, MC Hammer, whose birth name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, simply stated: "Thank You to all my friends and supporters. All CHARGES DECLINED. Dropped. Have A great Weekend. #OutOnBail." Dublin police could not immediately be reached for comment. (Inside Bay Area)
Reports of his legal problems turned into a hot topic a couple weeks ago.
Dublin Police arrested the 50-year-old rapper, formerly known as Stanley Kirk Burrell, on suspicion of obstructing an officer in the performance of his duties and resisting an officer after a run-in at gas station near the mall. According to Lt. Herb Walters of the Dublin Police, officers spotted a parked vehicle with expired registration tags and contacted the driver. The driver, MC Hammer, could not produce any proof that the vehicle was his and became uncooperative with the officers, Walters said. (KTVU)
Hammer also used Twitter to blast the police following his publicized arrest.
"chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said'"Are you on parole or probation?," Hammer tweeted February 23rd.
"While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet. .."
"It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help (MallCop) !!! But make no mistake he's dangerous .."
"only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge. I was citied for obstruction smh"
"You have to know me to understand I was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me .. I had just left the weight room .."
"I will now answer his question, contrary to his personal beliefs, all people of color are not on parole or probation fat boy !!!" (MC Hammer's Twitter)
Despite selling platinum albums and making millions from endorsement deals, the 50 year-old musician fell on hard times in the mid-1990's.
In 1996, Hammerfiled for bankruptcy, his taste for luxury having gotten the better of his dwindling income; his mansion was sold at a fraction of its cost. The crisis prompted a religious reawakening, and he began to write new material with an emphasis on spirituality and family. (All Music)

Guest Column: The BLS and that 7.8% unemployment rate
On Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, the Bureau of Labor Statistics shocked the world of business, finance and economics by declaring that unemployment in September fell to 7.8% from its August level of 8.1%. Coming just a month before the Nov. 6 Presidential election, this dubious finding gave rise to widespread rumors and even accusations of collusion between the Obama campaign and the Bureau.
It is highly unlikely that the President's men conspired with Bureau officials or employees to invent or alter employment data. The Obama campaign would have too little to gain relative to its potential loss. A 0.3% fall in the unemployment rate hardly delivered a passkey to the Oval Office, but proof of a collusive conspiracy would doom Obama's chances - even if undiscovered until after the election.

Our #1 favorite part of the cruise was taking the Tracy Arm Fjord catamaran shore excursion. This is a limited-seating option, so you should book early if it sounds appealing to you. But if you go, DO NOT BOOK AN AFTERNOON SHORE EXCURSION IN JUNEAU. Our catamaran spent an extra hour in the Fjord and then it took 20+ minutes for the crew to properly align the catamaran to the ship so people could transfer back to the ship. By that point, we were 1-1/2 hours later than we were supposed to be. Many people missed their afternoon shore excursions. We had not booked an excursion, so we were OK. We went on shore in Juneau and immediately went to one of the MANY tour kiosks right next to the ship. For only $20 round trip, we were taken on a bus to the Mendenhall Glacier where we had ample time to hike to Nuggett Falls.

text: This is a good question. The Constitution was called the godless Constitution by its critics, precisely because it largely omits reference to God (there is a reference to "the year of our Lord"). But remember that the federal government had much less power at the beginning than it does now. And the states could do pretty much what they wanted with religion. So when it came to church and state the real action for much of American history (until 1920s) was on the state level.

I for one say we bring back the dead animal sig's..... they get banned and we loose a game we should have easily won.... also, while were at it..... BURN THE FREGGIN GREEN PANTS ALREADY. We've had nothing but bad luck with them on.... plus thier ugly as sin to boot!
This team is not a very good team, we need all the MOJO we can get..... I move we un-ban the dead anilmal sigs now and get some Dead Patriot sigs ASAP!!!!!!!! We got 2 weeks to work the MoJo.... lets get on it!!!!!
