William Gwin was born on 6 December 1832 in Columbus, Indiana. He entered U.S. Navy service as a Midshipman in April 1847, subsequently serving in the frigate Brandywine on the Brazil Squadron until late in 1850. During the next five years he was assigned to the sloop of war Germantown, flagship of the African Squadron, the steamer Princeton and the brig Bainbridge. In September 1855, while serving in the latter, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. From late 1857 until after the outbreak of the American Civil War in the spring of 1861, Gwin was an officer of the steamer Saranac and sloop of war Vandalia, both in the Pacific, and of the steam frigate Susquehanna in the Mediterranean.
Returning to the United States in mid-1861, Lieutenant Gwin began Civil War combat service in the newly acquired cruiser Cambridge and, later in the year, was assigned to the brig Perry. Early in 1862 he went west to begin a very active period on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, initially as Commanding Officer of the gunboat Tyler, which played a significant role in several combat actions between February and July. Promoted to Lieutenant Commander in July, Gwin commanded the ironclad Mound City during much of the summer and in September took command of the big ironclad Benton. On 27 December 1862, in a heated engagement with Confederate artillery on the Yazoo River, his ship was seriously damaged and Gwin mortally wounded. Lieutenant Commander William Gwin died on 3 January 1863. In reporting his death to the Navy Department, Gwin's squadron commander, Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter, remarked: "The country has lost one of its bravest officers."
Four U.S. Navy ships have been named in honor of Lieutenant Commander Gwin: USS Gwin (Torpedo Boat # 16) of 1898-1925; USS Gwin (Destroyer # 71, later DD-71) of 1920-1939; USS Gwin (DD-433) of 1941-1943; and USS Gwin (DM-33) of 1944-1971.

I always like to be here to help out with the barbershop arguments, and the answer is: No. Sorry. But Vick will win a Super Bowl eventually. Teams kind of have to be in a groove going into this portion of the season, and Vick's Eagles don't fit that bill. But as far as the Vikings' conference, the NFC, surprisingly everyone might want to keep their eyes on the Chicago Bears. I'm slowly beginning to win over the debate crowd with the message that "defense wins championships." And just like in 2006, the Bears can once again be called the "Monsters of the Midway" when it comes to defense.
Of course the Bears have linebacker Brian Urlacher in the center of their defense. But when I consider defense I also kind of wrap special teams into that equation, too. When you look at it that way, then not only do you have to consider the generally stiff performance of the Bears' defense, but you also have to bring up the name Devin Hester. For a few years now the Bears have tried to use Hester's talents more consistently on the offensive side of the ball – Hester started out his career on defense, and I think it's crazy that they didn't keep him there at least part time. Hester's money making, and touchdown making, ability comes in the kick return game. There has never, ever, ever, …eva, eva, been someone in the league who can return kicks like Devin Hester. It baffles me to no end why coaches allow their kickers to kick the ball anywhere in Hester's area code. Hester has several NFL records for returning kicks, including five in his rookie year (2006). Football is a game of three phases, and when offense or defense gets muddled during a game, that is just the time when an 80 yard touchdown on a punt return by Devin Hester can send the crowd into a frenzy; take some wind out of the other team; and have the offense and defense feeling like they have on a new pair of shoes.
The Bears are certainly not the standout team in the NFL this year thus far, but that is kind of the point. When there are no runaway successful teams in a season, the situation is ripe for a team that simply plays solid defense, superb special teams, and mediocre offense. The Bears defense is actually not as good as it was in 2006 when they went to the Super Bowl. But their offense is better (depending on the day), and their special teams still has Devin Hester. The Atlanta Falcons look to have the most solid groove going in the NFC, and the NFL overall for that matter, but the Bears have better defense, and you heard what I had to say about defense.
As for the Vikings, while they are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, I would advise fans to just sit back and enjoy the show, as Brett Favre rides off into the sunset – yeah, right. I can't believe anybody is thinking that Favre won't make another run at it next year. Favre just threw for a career high in yardage a few weeks ago, and gunslingers fancy the thought of going out in a blaze of glory – which this season has little chance to provide for the Vikings. Personally I think Favre should come back next year. At this point, why not? Rookie quarterback Joe Webb should be half-way ready to start sometime next year, but half-way isn't exactly the best idea to go at anything.
Though Bears fans may have a smile on their faces because I think their team will sneak into the Superbowl this year, they shouldn't smile too hard. Should the Bears make it to the Super Bowl they will get slobber-knockered by whomever they play. Considering that the Pittsburgh Steelers do the most slobber-knockerin' (and paying the big fines that go along with hitting opponents that hard), it would make perfect sense for the NFL version of the Los Angeles Lakers to add to their championship trophy case, while the Lakers pursue the 3-Peat (smile).
Chicago versus Pittsburgh sounds like a good chicken wing eatin'-I don't care because the Raiders stink again-Super Bowl. I'm all about the Super Bowl commercials this year. Viking fans should smile as long as that human piece of steel named Adrian Peterson is marching up and down the field in a purple jersey.

A few weeks ago we took an overground train down from the Yogi Kitchen residency in Balham to West Norwood's Sunday Market "Feast". As usual, British summertime didn't oblige, but the market had such a community grass-roots feel we had a good time anyway. Not the kind of thing you find in more well-connected areas of London, this area retains it's village-aspect and the market followed suit with traders from the local area turning up in force on no-less than three different sites along the high street.
Below are the areas of our real-interest the food-market; though we did stroll along to the plant-sale and crafts-market, as expected we concentrated our time in the edibles area. Not as big as other South-London markets like Brixton, Maltby or Brockley it still put forward a good choice of prepared food such as the guys from Brixtons' Casa Morita amongst others including some good local Thai and Jamaican offerings. Volcano coffee, a locally based roaster and coffee shop took care of that side of things as well as finding this amazing cake stall who do a selection of mini-cakes baked in round ring-moulds with a bunch of novel flavourings. A great idea, as with desserts you often want to sample loads of different flavours not just say a massive hunk of carrot-cake (though that also has its place).

In previous papers we have proposed to use a pedagogical knowledge representation based on a Reinforcement Learning (RL) model. Using the reinforcement learning model, the system is able to automatically learn which is the best pedagogical way to teach student individually based only on acquired experience other students with similar learning characteristics, like a human tutor does. In this paper we study the viability of the application of the RL model in a DataBase Design (DBD) AIES using in this study simulated students. The viability is measured on 1hree important issues. First, we are going to check that the system converges to a pedagogical policy when it interacts with simulated students with different leaming characteristics. Second, we are going to prove that tite system leans an optimal pedagogical strategy, measured in number of actions that the system must execute to teach all the contents to tbe student. And third, we are going to prove that the system does not need many students to leanr to teach optimally. Choosing a good exploration and exploitation strategy is determinant for the three elements defined above, so two typical exploration/exploitatíon policies in RL problems have been used for the experiments in order to analyze tbe differences between them when the system teaches simulated students: the e-greedy and the Boltzmann exploration strategies.

For this reason, it is very important to take into account accessibility requirements in the player to avoid barriers and to ensure access to this multimedia content as well as their resources. One of the most frequent barriers is the technological obstacle: the necessity for the user to install the required plug-ins in to order to access video. The new standard HTML5 provides a solution to this problem. However, it does not fully support accessibility requirements of W3C standards, including WCAG and interaction requirement of UAAG. This paper introduces an overall study of this new standard in relation to accessibility requirements for the players as well as an accessible HTML5 Media Player. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z A social and emotional model for obtaining believable emergent behaviors Asensio, Javier Jiménez, Marta Fernández, Susana Borrajo, Daniel http://hdl.handle.net/10016/7728 2013-09-30T17:00:37Z 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z A social and emotional model for obtaining believable emergent behaviors Asensio, Javier; Jiménez, Marta; Fernández, Susana; Borrajo, Daniel This paper attempts to define an emotional model for virtual agents that behave autonomously in social worlds. We adopt shallow modeling based on the decomposition of the emotional state in two qualities: valence (pleasantness or hedonic value) and arousal (bodily activation) and, also, for the agent personality based on the five factors model (openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism). The proposed model aims to endow agents with a satisfactory emotional state achieved through the social actions, i.e. the development of social abilities. Psychology characterizes these social abilities for: using the language as a tool (verbal and nonverbal communication), being learned, producing reciprocal reward among the individuals involved in the communication and for depending on the individual features. We have implemented our model in the framework of a computer game, AI-live, to show its validity.

Applying vector quantization to reinforcement learning Fernández, Fernando; Borrajo, Daniel Reinforcement learning has proven to be a set of successful techniques for finding optimal policies on uncertain and/or dynamic domains, such as the RoboCup.

In this paper, we describe a new mechanism for solving the states generalization problem in reinforcement learning algorithms. This clustering mechanism is based on the vector quantization technique for signal analog-to-digital conversion and compression, and on the Generalized Lloyd Algorithm for the design of vector quantizers. Furthermore, we present the VQQL model, that integrates Q-Learning as reinforcement learning technique and vector quantization as state generalization technique. We show some results on applying this model to learning the interception task skill for Robosoccer agents.

Symplified Enhances Cloud Security and Compliance for Visiting Nurse Service of New York
BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 24, 2011 – Symplified®, the Cloud security company, today announced that the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), the largest not-for-profit home health care organization in the United States, has implemented Symplified for centralized cloud identity and access management. VNSNY recently modernized an IT infrastructure that serves more than 15,000 users by deploying several new SaaS (Software as a Service) applications. Symplified enables VNSNY to enforce access security policies, provide single sign-on (SSO) from any device, and audit usage of these business critical applications for compliance reporting.
Founded in 1893 by Lillian Wald, the first public health nurse in the United States, VNSNY cares for 140,000 patients in the greater New York metro area, and its over 14,000 health care providers care for over 30,000 New Yorkers on any given day. The company turned to Symplified for a centralized access management solution that secures six public cloud applications as well as several private cloud apps. Symplified's ability to audit cloud application usage was also a key selling point for VNSNY which must meet data governance requirements for HIPAA and HITECH Act compliance.
"Symplified's ability to protect popular and less well known cloud applications, support our business processes and integrate with an existing Active Directory-based identity infrastructure were extremely important to us," said Larry Whiteside, CISO of Visiting Nurse Service of New York. "We have six SaaS applications that have gone live thus far and I am highly impressed with the speed and ease with which we have been able to roll these out to our very large, very mobile user base. Moving forward, we plan to utilize Symplified for more web-based applications, not only externally, but internally as well."
Beyond SSO: Symplified Delivers Comprehensive Cloud IAM
Symplified provides VNSNY with comprehensive identity and access management (IAM) capabilities for its SaaS and other applications, including:
* Centralized access control and governance that leverages the existing Active Directory identity infrastructure for provisioning/de-provisioning and user/group permissions
* Secure single sign-on for a very large and highly mobile user base that makes SaaS applications available on any device from any location according to the user's identity and authorization permissions
* Usage auditing that provides visibility into third party applications for regulatory compliance reporting required by the HIPAA and HITECH mandates
"Four of the six SaaS applications VNSNY began with are not well known and weren't SAML-ready, but we were able to demonstrate just how easily and quickly Symplified can add applications into the Trust Fabric® ecosystem," said Josh Forman, vice president of service delivery for Symplified. "This enabled us to meet VNSNY's business go-live timelines for the new applications and satisfy their stringent security and standardization requirements."
About Symplified
Symplified provides the trust fabric of the Cloud by enabling companies to extend and enforce identity and access management policies on Cloud applications. The Symplified Suite unifies Web access management, federated SSO, auditing and user management across any access device. Meanwhile, the Symplified Trust Cloud™ is woven into the fabric of the Amazon Web Services platform and capable of delivering identity and access management services on a massively scalable and global basis. The company has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal, CRN, Network World, the RSA conference, and others for its innovations. Symplified's management team created Web access management market originator Securant and the ClearTrust product, which was acquired by RSA Security. The company has received financing from leading venture capital firms Granite Ventures and Allegis Capital. Symplified is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.

It's Mayweather vs. Maidana May 3
All speculation regarding who Floyd Mayweather's next opponent will be can be put to rest.

Amir Khan: Fight with Floyd isn't happening
No official word has come from Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Golden Boy Promotions, but all indications are that his next fight won't be against Amir Khan.

Mayweather: Broner jumped too early
Even Adrien Broner's mentor Floyd Mayweather Jr. thinks the brash young fighter got a little too big for his britches. We're referring to Broner's decision to stay at welterweight and fight Marcos Maidana, instead of moving back to junior welterweight or even lightweight after his fight against Paulie Malignaggi. Broner had trouble dealing with the power of Maidana, a stronger puncher than Malignaggi,...Read more »

Do you want to know what you are? You are a creator. At every moment you are creating. The real question is, what are you creating?Bryant McGill
The L Word reaffirmed that good storytelling has a way of creating community. Fans everywhere have been connecting with each other online, in public and at home-viewing parties.Jennifer Beals
Unable to do away with love, the Church found a way to decontaminate it by creating marriage.Charles Baudelaire
Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.Hafsat Abiola
The ever-present impulse is to push against restriction and, in so doing, to feel intolerably hemmed in. Thus in practice, every liberation increases the sense of oppression. Nor is the paradox merely in the mind: the laws enacted to secure the rights of every person and group, by creating protective boundaries, create new barriers.Jacques Barzun
We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.Carl Bernstein
The universe is a machine for creating gods.Henri-Louis Bergson
Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing.David Blaine
A value-creating man is a plausible substitute for a good man, and some such substitute becomes practically inevitable in pop relativism, since very few persons can think of themselves as just nothing. The respectable and accessible nobility of man is to be found not in the quest for or discovery of the good life, but in creating ones own life-style, of which there is not just one but many possible, none comparable to another.Allan David Bloom
Despite its potential, the federal government has restricted funding for creating new cell lines putting the burden of any future research squarely on the shoulders of the private sector. Governments most basic responsibility, however, is the health and welfare of its people, so it has a duty to encourage appropriate scientific investigations that could possibly save the lives of millions.Michael Bloomberg
We must be clear that when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections.Niels Henrik David Bohr
I suppose I want to leave a word with you tonight, that seems to have been applicable and important to everyone lately. And that is remember Mercy, Love and Forgiveness, because this seems to be lacking, and causing and creating a lot of problems for people because it is so lacking. So remember that, first and foremost. And if you're already doing a good job at that, you think good for you! Step it up a bit! That's your challenge. As for me, I must work on these things always too!MaryAnne Ysabella
You find most journalists now are on all these social networks. Theyre all about creating they want a direct relationship with their audience, in a way that politicians have been very loathe to do. They dont want to come down to the masses. They still want to be in that fortress, in that ivory tower where they can lecture down to people. They havent really adapted to this two-way communication.Heather Brooke
That's another step forward in creating a nation of sheep in a totalitarian state, saying, "Yes sir, yes sir! Is that what you want? Do it to me again!" By the time they graduate, kids won't even know they have rights. They'll be little stooges for a fascist state.Jerry Brown

Amniocentesis is an optional prenatal diagnostic test used to determine if a baby has any chromosomal abnormalities. A thin needle is used to remove fluid from around the baby. This fluid contains cells from the baby. The cells are sent to a laboratory for genetic testing.
There are a variety of reasons why a pregnant woman might have an amniocentesis. Some reasons include:

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:A futuristic, fun-loving vibe emanates from this 17-room find edging the central business district. Pink-neon recessed lighting, funky molded plastic chairs, and orange Perspex accent tables add a playful touch to the double-height lobby. Free perks include minibar items and a generous breakfast of croissants, toast, and eggs at Lucas, the chic adjacent eatery. The guest rooms vary in decor (one room is all-white, another features a cylindrical shower in the center of the room), but all have ultramodern yet comfortable furniture by boldfaced designersas in the curvilinear Moraine divan by Zaha Hadid and the polycarbonate Stone Stools by Marcel Wanders. There are more practical touches, too: Spacious closets are scented with satchels of dried flowers, and all rooms offer carpeting that beckons bare feet as well as lighting that you can manipulate from low and sexy to serious and businesslike. Suites add an outdoor hot tub edged with bamboo stalks and high wooden fences. Rooms could do with fewer superfluous details like the ornate etchings on bathroom mirrors, but overall the aesthetics, edibles, and service outshine those at Singapore's slew of other small hotels.2010 Hot List

I'm so pale that all I have to do is stand next to a window for about 10 minutes to receive a sunburn, so, annoyingly enough, it's not really surprising that I often end up burning my lips as well.
Have you ever had sunburnt lips? It's one of the most annoying things in the world. Your lips are all prickly and sore and feel swollen… ugh. I always try to keep some lip balm with SPF lying around, but I tend to be a bit absent-minded.
Translation: I lose it.
So, after losing my fifth tube of the same brand of lip balm I've used for years, I decided to change things up a bit and go for a tube of Yes to Pomegranate SPF lip balm.

SXSW 2012: SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED, SLEEPWALK WITH ME, the Premiere of Todd Rohal's NATURE CALLS, and More Added to Line-Up
by Matt Goldberg Posted 2 years, 308 days ago
The 2012 SXSW Film Festival has announced some exciting additions to their already-stellar line-up. The Sundance flicks Searching for Sugar Man, Chasing Ice, Monsieur Lazhar (my review), Safety Not Guaranteed (my review), Shut Up and Play the Hits, and Sleepwalk with Me will all be showing up at this year's SXSW. I heard nothing but good things about Chasing Ice and Sleepwalk with Me, and I'm glad I'll have a second chance to see them. SXSW 2012 will also have the world premiere of Steve Taylor's Blue Like Jazz, and Todd Rohal's Nature Calls starring Patton Oswalt, Johnny Knoxville, and Rob Riggle.
Hit the jump for more on all of the new additions. The 2012 SXSW Film Festival runs from March 9 – 17th.

When we first launched the Content Marketing Institute (CMI) back in 2007, we had little more than two nickels to rub together. Today, the site averages 130,00 unique visitors per month, almost 300,000 page views, and more than 50,000 email newsletter subscribers (both daily and weekly).
In each category, this is double our performance from 2012, and almost all of our revenue at CMI, in one way or another, can be traced to one CMI blog post.
I share these results with you because I believe any company can reproduce the same kind of results by being eternally focused and diligently consistent with the creation and distribution of exceptional content.

A Bargain,
Have had the printer just over a week, very easy to set up and use, only fault no tray to catch the pages as they are printed apart from that an ideal printer for home use especially as I am now retired and unable to use printer at work as I say ideal for home use have not tried to print pictures yet so unable to comment on that aspect but for documents you ideal
You can't go wrong...,
The Brother printer is high in functionality and the print quality is good (though not exceptional). The IJT inks are possibly not as "black" as the original Brother - but I don't have the original Brother inks to compare against. I have set the printer into it's highest quality mode and unless you are printing a lot of pages, the speed reduction shouldn't be a problem. If you weren't getting the inks, it would be good value for money. With the inks, it's an astonishing deal and I can't see any downside...

great printer easy to use and morgan computers where very quick with the delivery thank you

|SPRINGFIELD The holiday season is just around the corner and this year the American Red Cross is urging people to give something that means something by donating to the Red Cross and helping those in need.
The Red Cross has launched a holiday fund-raising campaign, asking everyone to visit www.redcross.org/gifts to make a donation in the name of the people on their gift list this year. Their donation can help provide food and shelter to a victim of disaster, help purchase things like phone cards and supplies for a member of the armed forces, or help supply basic necessities to families in desperate need in countries across the world.
Everyone is invited to browse through the Red Cross Holiday Giving Catalog and view symbolic gifts they can "purchase" for, or in honor of, a loved one things like infant care kits for babies in emergency shelters, comfort kits for wounded warriors, or water containers used when natural disasters disrupt a community's water supply overseas.
"People tend to buy a lot of "stuff" around the holidays," Dawn Leaks, Director of Communications and Special Events at the American Red Cross Pioneer Valley Chapter, said. "This year we are asking people to give a gift that means something in the spirit of the holiday season. Their donation can help save the day when fire destroys a neighbor's house, when a patient needs blood, when a member of the military has a family emergency back home."
In the past four months the American Red Cross Pioneer Valley Chapter has provided assistance to over 50 people in response to 20 house fires and run major disaster relief operations in response to the June 1 tornado and Hurricane Irene. In the tornado response alone the Red Cross provided more than 5,000 overnight stays, more than 27,000 meals and over 40,000 clean up, bulk distribution and comfort items to victims of the storm.
Fiscal year 2011 was a busy year for the Red Cross. Red Cross chapters responded to more than 68,000 disasters across the country, including the launch of major relief operations for wildfires that burned hundreds of thousands of acres; tornadoes that destroyed entire towns; and flooding that left communities under water from the Dakotas to the East Coast.
Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces workers provided assistance to more than 386,000 members of the military and their families, veterans and civilians. Red Cross Blood Services distributed more than nine million blood products for patients in nearly 3,000 hospitals across the United States. The Red Cross enrolled more than 8.2 million people in health and safety training such as first aid and CPR, aquatics and water safety. As part of the global Red Cross network in more than 180 countries around the world, the American Red Cross responded to disasters and public health emergencies in more than 60 countries.
"The country's ongoing economic problems are causing more people to seek help from the Red Cross and other organizations at a time when it's generally much more difficult to raise money," Leaks said. "These are difficult times for families and businesses across our nation, but we ask that people support the Red Cross and the help its programs provides during the holidays this year.

Milo South Africa
More Good stuff:
Extravaganza Starts Today
Squashtalk Pro Squash Headlines
Event Engine Squash:
The location of a tournament is obviously very important. The Milo South African Open is only slightly smaller than the recent US Open yet many of the top players from Boston (e.g. Nicol, Power, Boswell) have decided against going to South Africa. Fortunately for South African squash fans ten of the world's top twenty players including Palmer the victor of the recent US Open, have made the journey south. Perhaps if the missing players had looked a little closer at the tournament entry form they would have noticed that a day of golf and safari at Sun City was included in the tournament programme and would have had second thoughts about entering.
The venue for the event is a gigantic shopping mall in Pretoria, guaranteeing great exposure for the tournament.
It's almost unheard of though to have both the qualifying and main draw both held at the same venue when a glass show court is being used. This means for players who go through qualifying they have two extremely different court conditions. It's been accurately described as playing tennis on grass for qualifying then clay for the main draw. The game needed to play for the different courts is that different. Perhaps the abundance of South African players in the qualifying has been what has enabled it all to be played on the show court.
South Africa has a strong base of squash players meaning that playing a local qualifier isn't such a great thing for the top seeds in the qualifying. This meant a number of different players particularly South Africans like Glen Whittaker and Craig Van de Wath could have made their way through qualifying. Whittaker lost a close and physical tussle agains El Hindi and Van De Wath had a cycling accident just prior to the tournament and has his arm in a sling. Simon Parke, Lars Harms, Wael El Hindi and local favourite Rodney Durbach are the four players to make their way through to the main draw. (see qualifying draw for all the results)
There will be some interesting main draw match-ups Thursday:
David Palmer versus Stefan Castelyn
Palmer is the former #1 and current US Open Champion against Belgium's #24 who is trying to regain the form that took him to # 7 in the world. Joe believes that when Castelyn is in peak condition he is the best mover currently in the game for speed, flexibility and ability to get in and out of the front corners. Palmer is possibly the strongest guy when it comes to lunging for volleys from the tee and getting his body into the best positions. These two haven't played each other in the past three years in a PSA tournament. This has the potential to be a wonderful match.
Amr Shabana and Karim Darwish
Shabana is currently ranked 20 in the world. Ranking is worked out so that all of your tournaments over the past year are added up and then divided by 8. If you play ten tournaments then your two weakest tournaments don't count, and the remaining 8 are divided by 8 to get the average. Shabana has played 7 tournaments over the past year but two of them he has had to withdraw from (and therefore gets zero for it). So his five tournaments results are still divided by 8. Watch out for Shabana's ranking to rise like a rocket when he gets at least three more tournaments under his belt.
Darwish is currently celebrating a career high of 13 following last month's victory in the CNS Open in Pakistan. Also this year he has made the final of Maadi open and the quarters of PSA masters.
Both of these players have awesome racquet skills and an ability to put the ball away. They have played once recently in PSA with Shabana winning in the final of the El Ahly Open last year in straight games.
Omar Elborolossy versus Alex Gough
Omar had a career high last month of 14 but jumped out to 21 this month. His most recent newsworthy tournament result has been his recent loss to Jansher Khan in Pakistan last month. But 2002 has been a good year for him winning the Maadi Open and making the final of the 1st Pakistan squash circuit event earlier in the year.
Gough is currently ranked 18. Despite have a career high of 9 over the last few years, he has virtually spent the whole time ranked at 13. Gough has made the quarters of this year's british open, but otherwise has had a fairly uneventful year. The last time these two met was in the 2000 with Gough winning a close match in four.
Joe Kneipp vs Renan Lavigne
The four remaining matches are with the qualifyers and pit Thierry Lincou against Simon Parke, Mark Chaloner with Lars Harms, Rod Durbach with John White, and Martin Heath with Wael El Hindi.

Of Course Tom Cruise Won't Press Charges Against These Sexy Eyes, He's Not An Animal
On Sunday night, male model Jason Sullivan (above) got shithammered drunk and attempted to return home to Tom Cruise's neighbor house where he's been staying. And by attempted I mean he accidentally tried to enter the Fortress of Xenu where this pretty much happened: "Seriously, dudes, I totally live here, why are you being dick- eh, fuck it, I'll just climb the wall – ZZZZAPPPPP!!!" TMZ reports:
Tom's security told Jason to leave, but instead he tried scaling the privacy wall to get further into Tom's property. Jason began walking toward Tom's house and was warned he would be tased if he continued. When Jason kept walking, he was tased twice.
Jason was arrested, cited for misdemeanor trespassing and released.

Shilling Construction Company, Inc. v. Arr-Maz Products, L.P.
Filing 23
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER granting 14 defendant's Motion to Dismiss. Signed by District Judge J. Thomas Marten on 12/7/2012. (mss)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS SHILLING CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. , A KANSAS CORPORATION, Plaintiff, vs. Case No. 12-4077- JTM ARR-MAZ PRODUCTS, L.P., A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, Defendant. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER The court has before it Defendant Arr-Maz's Motion to Dismiss, Transfer, or Stay (Dkt. 14). Arr-Maz argues that the plaintiff's claims are the same as the ones it has advanced in a patent infringement action currently before the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, Arr-Maz Products, L.P. v. Shilling Const. Co., Inc., 2012 WL 5251191 (N.D. Okla. Oct. 24, 2012). Under the first-to-file rule, Arr-Maz argues that this court should dismiss the action or, in the alternative, transfer or stay the case. After consideration of all arguments by both sides, the court grants Arr-Maz's Motion and dismisses the case. I. Background Shilling Construction Company, Inc. is an asphalt paving company located in Manhattan, Kansas. Dkt. 1 ¶3. Arr-Maz Products, L.P. markets chemicals and surface paving technologies and is incorporated in Delaware with its principal place of business in Florida. Id. Prior to the case at hand, on June 4, 2012, Arr-Maz filed a Complaint in the Northern District of Oklahoma accusing Shilling of infringing the United States Patent No. 7,802,947, etitled "Rut Resisting Coating and Method of Applying Rut Resistance Coating" (hereinafter "the '941 Patent"). Dkt. 15, Exhibit A. On June 5, Arr-Maz's counsel e-mailed a copy of the Complaint to Shilling's counsel, requesting the acceptance of service on behalf of Shilling. Dkt. 15, Exhibit I at 2. Shilling's counsel responded, requesting that Arr-Maz e-mail him a full copy of the Complaint. Dkt. 15, Exhibit H. On June 8, Arr-Maz's counsel sent a full copy to Shilling's counsel, again requesting the acceptance of service. Id. On June 14, Arr-Maz's counsel had not received a response from Shilling's counsel. Counsel for Arr-Maz e-mailed Shilling's counsel again, asking if it would allow him to accept service. Id. Shilling's counsel responded that he would answer Arr-Maz's request on June 19. Id. However, counsel for Shilling did not respond on June 19, so Arr-Maz arranged for service of the Summons and Complaint on Shilling by certified U.S. Mail. Service was completed on June 21. That same day, Shilling's counsel responded to Arr-Maz's counsel's e-mail, stating he was not authorized to accept service on Shilling's behalf. On June 12, before declining to accept service on behalf of its client, Shilling had filed a separate action against Arr-Maz in the District of Kansas. In its Complaint, Shilling requested that this court grant it a declaratory judgment finding Shilling has not infringed the '941 patent and that the '941 patent is invalid. Shilling then filed a motion in the Northern District of Oklahoma asking the court to dismiss Arr-Maz's Complaint or transfer the case to the District of Kansas. Shilling argued the Northern District of Oklahoma lacked personal jurisdiction, or in the alternative, the Northern District of Oklahoma was not a convenient forum. In response, ArrMaz argued that personal jurisdiction over Shilling in Oklahoma was proper and requested that the Northern District Oklahoma enjoin Shilling from proceeding with the case in the District of Kansas, pursuant to the first-to-file rule. 2 The Northern District of Oklahoma held that it had personal jurisdiction over Shilling. Arr-Maz Products, L.P. v. Shilling Const. Co., Inc., 2012 WL 5251191, at *4 (N.D. Okla. Oct. 24, 2012). The court also found that, "[b]ased on the earlier filing date of this case, the identity of the parties in both cases, and the complete overlap of issues, it is clear that the cases are substantially similar and this case should be treated as the first-filed case." Id. at *9. Applying the first-to-file rule, the court denied Shilling's request for a transfer of venue to Kansas, finding no reason why that forum would be substantially more convenient. Id. at *8. However, in deference to the District of Kansas, the court did not enjoin Shilling from prosecuting its case in Kansas. Id. at *9. In the case at hand, Arr-Maz seeks dismissal of Shilling's claims that are identical to those it has advanced in the patent infringement action in the Northern District of Oklahoma. Arr-Maz argues that, under the first-to-file rule, the court should dismiss Shillings's Complaint or, in the alternative, transfer the action to the Northern District of Oklahoma, or grant a stay. II. Legal Standard The first-to-file rule states that "the first federal district court which obtains jurisdiction of parties and issues should have priority and the second court should decline consideration of the action until the proceedings before the first court are terminated." Cessna Aircraft Co. v. Brown, 348 F.2d 689, 692 (10th Cir.1965). "As a general rule, the first-filed suit has priority." Nacogdoches Oil & Gas, L.L.C. v. Leading Solutions, Inc., 2007 WL 2402723, at *2 (D. Kan. Aug. 17, 2007). Precedent "overwhelming[ly] support[s] the assertion that the court in a secondfiled case should not determine the initial question of which court applies the first-to-file rule." Johnson v. Pfizer, 2004 WL 2898076 at *2 (D.Kan. Dec. 10, 2004). The court in Johnson explicitly recognized that the second court may exercise its discretion to enforce the rule. Id. 3 Thus, although the first-to-file rule is generally enforced by the first court, "the second district court has discretion to transfer, stay, or dismiss the second case in the interest of efficiency and judicial economy." Wallace B. Roderick Revocable Living Trust v. XTO Energy, Inc., 679 F. Supp. 2d 1287, 1297 (D. Kan. Jan. 12, 2010) (quoting Cedars-Sinai Med. Ctr. v. Shalala, 125 F.3d 765, 769 (9th Cir.1997)). III. Analysis Arr-Maz argues that the Complaint filed in the Northern District of Oklahoma was the first case filed, so this court should dismiss the case before it in the interest of efficiency and judicial economy. In determining whether the first-to-file rule applies, the court must examine the chronology of the actions, the similarity of the parties involved, and the similarity of the issues at stake. XTO Energy, Inc., 679 F. Supp. 2d at 1296. This court is mindful that "the purpose of the first-to-file rule—maximization of judicial economy—is most strongly in play when the second-filed case is a complete subset of the earlier action. Id. at 1297. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma has already analyzed in full whether the first-to-file rule should apply in this case. See Arr-Maz Products, L.P. v. Shilling Const. Co., Inc., 2012 WL 5251191, at *8–9 (N.D. Okla. Oct. 24, 2012). This court agrees with the analysis set out by the Northern District of Oklahoma and adopts it in full, finding that the Oklahoma case must be treated as the first-filed case. The only issue remaining is whether this court should dismiss, transfer, or stay the second case. Courts rarely dismiss claims pursuant to the first-to-file rule, preferring instead to transfer those claims to the court where the similar claims were filed first. See Steavens v. Electronic Data Sys. Corp., 2008 WL 5062847, at *2 (E.D.Mich. Nov. 25, 2008) (citing Elite Physicians Servs. v. Citicorp Credit Servs., 2007 WL 1100481, at *5 (E.D.Tenn. Apr. 11, 2007)). Shilling 4 argues that the court should transfer the claim to Kansas rather than dismiss the case. Arr-Maz argues that transfer is not justified because the claims contained in Shilling's Kansas Complaint are compulsory counterclaims that were required to be filed in the Oklahoma case. FED. R. CIV. P. 13(a) requires a pleading to state as a counterclaim any claim that- at the time of its servicethe pleader has against an opposing party if the claim: (A) arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing party's claim; and (B) does not require adding another party over whom the court cannot acquire jurisdiction. Because all claims alleged by Shilling fit Rule 13's definition of a compulsory counterclaim and will be necessarily presented in the Oklahoma case, transferring the same issues to Oklahoma would be duplicitous. The court concludes that transfer of the entire action is unjustified. The court also declines to stay this case. "A district court may decline to follow the firstto-file rule and dismiss a declaratory judgment action if that action was filed for the purpose of anticipating a trial of the same issues in a court of coordinate jurisdiction." Boilermakers Nat'l Health & Welfare Trust v. Steele, 2010 WL 2287477, at *5 (D. Kan. June 2, 2010). Shilling's counsel was on notice of the Complaint filed in the Northern District of Oklahoma on June 8, 2012, when Arr-Maz's counsel e-mailed the full Complaint and requested acceptance of service. Before responding to the e-mail, Shilling's counsel filed its Complaint with this court, asking for a declaratory judgment invalidating the '941 Patent or declaring that Shilling did not infringe on the patent. This court finds that Shilling filed an anticipatory action in an attempt to gain a declaratory judgment after its attorney was notified of the Complaint filed in Oklahoma. See Boilermakers Nat'l Health & Welfare Trust, 2010 WL 2287477, at *5. For the reasons set forth herein and in Arr-Maz Products, L.P. v. Shilling Const. Co., Inc., 2012 WL 5251191 (N.D. Okla. 5 Oct. 24, 2012), the court dismisses this anticipatory declaratory judgment action without prejudice. IT IS ACCORDINGLY ORDERED this 7th day of December 2012, that defendant's Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. 14) is granted. s/ J. Thomas Marten J. THOMAS MARTEN, JUDGE 6

I.T. Strategies - 3/13/2008Direct-To-Garment Ink Jet Printers: Expanding the Decorated Garments
Hanover, MA…March 2008… Over the last few years, a new class of ink jet printers has been introduced to the
garment decoration market: Ink jet printers that have a platen/bed for printing directly onto finished garments such
as T-shirts. The majority of these ink jet printers use aqueous-based pigmented ink that allows direct printing onto
cotton garments. Inks are heat set to fix the image. I.T. Strategies estimates that the retail value (what customers
pay for the final product) of the garments printed by direct-to-garment ink jet printers will increase from an
estimated $3 billion in 2007 to more than $12 billion by 2010. These water-based ink jet printers will open up the
market to new types of print shops as well as support an Internet-based retailer model – the real market driver
because of the access to the consumer market.
Installed Base
The worldwide installed base of direct-to-garment ink jet printers is forecast to grow from more than 12,000 in 2007
to almost 51,000 by 2010. More than 90% of the installed base will be low-end (<$50,000 sale price) printers,
which are expected to grow from just under 12,000 units in 2007 to more than 48,000 by 2010. The installed base of
high-end direct-to-garment printers is expected to reach almost 2,500 by 2010.
Print Providers Fall into Three Categories
The types of companies that will purchase these direct-to-garment ink jet printers fall into three categories:
1. Those companies such as screen printers and embroiderers that are already in the direct-to-garment decorating
business using screen printing or embroidery
2. Those companies/individuals that are printing T-shirt transfers today with thermal transfer or color
electrophotographic (laser) printers and copiers
3. New companies/individuals, such as internet retailers and photographers, that have never participated in the
garment decoration market before
New Type of Establishments
Direct-to-garment ink jet printers have opened up the decorated products market to new types of establishments that
in the past would not have considered embroidery, screen or digital transfer printing. These establishments include:
• Internet-based retailers, such as CafePress and Zazzle. These companies are redefining the way that
decorated products, especially T-shirts get to the market by bringing together buyers, sellers and designers
in virtual communities. Over time this business model will have more of an impact on the market as buyers
will expect to be able to purchase small runs of custom designs and get them almost immediately – in some
cases shipped within 24 hours of receiving the order any time of the day and any day of the week. They are
open 24/7. Online photo companies such as Shutterfly do not appear to have direct-to-garment ink jet
printers yet, but it would appear to be a natural extension of their current business.
• Photographers and artists who today are not doing this type of work at all or if they are, are using screen
printers or Internet-based companies to produce their work. An I.T. Strategies 2007 survey of more than
1,500 photographers with ink jet printers used for photo printing revealed that 50% of them are in some way
interested in an ink jet printer that can print directly onto finished garments.
• School photographers/portrait studios, many of whom are already involved with digital printing, especially
with ink jet.
• One-hour photo shops.
• Quick printers who are already serving the public with documents and signage.
• Copy shops in stores such as Staples and Office Max.
• Retailers such as Wal-Mart or Kmart that could use a template-based or kiosk system to offer short runs of
customized/personalized products to their customers. These retailers would more than likely not consider a
screen printing operation and may currently be customers of screen printers or embroiderers.
• Event printers, a new group of digitally-based companies that travel with their printers to events such as
state fairs, pet shows, horse shows, air shows, car shows, weddings, family reunions, corporate
events/outings, sporting events and more. These printing companies are using laser imagers, wide format
ink jet printers and direct-to-garment printers to produce product at the point of purchase.
• Entrepreneurs/home-based businesses looking for new opportunities. These would comprise work-at-home
parents, retirees looking to make extra money, and others starting small businesses such as a current screen
print shop employee looking to get out on his/her own.
According to Patti Williams, consulting partner at I.T. Strategies, "The growth of the flatbed ink jet segment is based
on the fact that there is an existing market for printing on T-shirts. Flatbed ink jet printers for printing directly onto
finished garments will be bought by current garment printers/decorators such as screen printers and embroiderers.
Ink jet printers are already and will continue to be purchased by companies new to garment decoration such as
Internet retailers CafePress and Zazzle, event printers who will take an ink jet printer to events such as state fairs,
sporting events or pet shows and print garments on site, and photographers that see an additional income stream by
offering their images on garments and bags."
