U.S. News Review
This grouping of exclusive cottages can be found on the private isle of Petit St. Vincent, roughly 4 miles southwest of Union Island. Built from local stone and wood, the resort's 22 cottages feature bright and airy decor, complete with fresh white, blue and green linens, stone walls and private wooden decks. When you're not lounging in your room or enjoying a massage at the Hillside Spa, you can take part in yoga classes, play a round of tennis or golf (the golf course is located on nearby Canouan Island) or set sail on the surrounding cerulean sea. After working up an appetite, past visitors recommend grabbing a bite to eat at the Beach Restaurant. Chairs are anchored into the sand and meals are served under thatched roofs and palm trees. (If you prefer inside seating and heartier meals, you can also choose to dine at the Main Restaurant.) While recent guests gush about the resort's beautiful grounds and attentive service, they also warn that if you're used to an all-inclusive Sandals-like experience, this isn't the retreat for you.How we rank hotels

Intel North Cape Ultrabook/tablet hybrid has shapeshifting screen
Intel is knee deep in bringing thinner, lighter and faster Ultrabooks to the market in 2013. At CES 2013, Intel showed off a reference laptop codenamed "North Cape" that takes the idea of hybrid tablet/notebook to the next level. The best part? The features will start trickling out to real products by the end of the year.
As we already said, North Cape is an Ultrabook and a tablet. It's powered by a fourth-generation Intel Core processor (codenamed "Haswell") and runs Windows 8.
North Cape's design is unique because its CPU sits behind the display as opposed to beneath the keyboard. Additionally, North Cape's batteries are housed beneath the keyboard and behind the display.
In Ultrabook mode, North Cape has a 13.3-inch display with very narrow bezels, two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port.
Things get funky when you detach the display from the keyboard half and North Cape becomes a tablet. The display can actually be separated with a single finger using Intel's patent-pending separation mechanism.
See the narrow bezels in the image up top? North Cape's "Smart Touch" feature kicks in with the press of a button up top or when the display is disengaged from the keyboard. Like magic, the 1080p display will shrink down to an 11.6-inch one with thicker bezels for your thumbs to rest on. Neat!
But the best part about North Cape is its battery life. Intel says North Cape can stay powered for 13 hours while in Ultrabook mode and 10 hours in tablet mode. Now that's impressive!
That's all fine and dandy, but how much will an Ultrabook/tablet hybrid based off this technology cost you? Intel says it's working with computer makers to implement North Cape features into real machines that'll cost between $799 and $899.

I'd argue that it's not only a wonderful opportunity to reward developers for their efforts in delivering players their expressive work, but it's also a chance for players to participate in a conversation about what matters most to them in video games. When the VGA for Game of the Year went to Telltale for The Walking Dead episodic series last night, one might argue that it said plenty about the importance of narrative-driven games. One might also say that it indicates the waning importance of the best game of the year's presence on retail shelves instead of hard drives (even if that will change in a matter of days).
To me, these are the sorts of dialogues that should be opened up as we debate our end-of-the-year lists. As you mull over your personal GOTY consideration, I encourage you to take a look back at last week's webcomics, then vote for your favorite after the break!

While USF1 is sticking to American soil for the February debut of its new car, it has emerged that another new team, Lotus, will not be running its car until the third Spanish test of the pre-season mid next month. The plans of F1's fourth new team, Virgin, are less clear, although technical boss Nick Wirth has said the car will hit the circuits at some point in February. Campos, however – officially Campos Meta 1 – is expected to turn out for the first test on February 1 with its 2010 car and Brazilian driver Bruno Senna, and subsequently the other three group tests prior to Bahrain. The Spanish based team's car has been designed to the February 1 schedule by the well-known Italian constructor Dallara. Tweet

Diversity In Action
The Coast Guard wants to hire 750 in 2008, many of them technical
Civilian employees fill a wide variety of roles that support the expanded mission of the service. Diversity gets lots of emphasis
In addition to its military personnel, the U.S. Coast Guard needs a civilian workforce. This year the Guard plans to hire at least 750. Many of the civilian jobs are in engineering and IT fields, says Carl Dolder, lead civilian recruiter for the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard wants experienced civilian techies. "We do hire at the entry level, but most of our positions are filled at the mid-career level," says Dolder. Hiring managers generally need new hires to hit the ground running, which is why about two-thirds of them come to the Coast Guard with experience in other branches of the military or government agencies. Others come from the private sector.
Military experience is usually a plus. "The U.S. Coast Guard, working in partnership with the Department of Defense, is deeply involved with efforts like the Wounded Warrior program for wounded vets from Afghanistan and Iraq. In their case we will do training. We have eight of these folks doing a great job for us now," says Dolder.
Civilian employees don't fill military or seafaring roles, but they do a variety of other jobs, many of them involving technology. "They might do some of the day-to-day port inspections, for example, to free military personnel for other work," Dolder explains.
The Coast Guard's mission, and its need for civilian technical folks, has changed since it became part of the Department of Homeland Security after 9/11. The service's role is now much more security-focused. That means some of the work once done by the military is now handled by civilian personnel as military service members are assigned to security-related work.
Diversity is another meaningful change. "After 9/11 we realized we need greater diversity in our civilian workforce," says Dolder. "The Coast Guard civilian recruiting team, the Coast Guard Recruiting Command, the Office of Civil Rights and others are working together to increase civilian diversity at the USCG."
The Coast Guard works with SHPE, SWE, NSBE and Latinos.com plus many other external diversity groups, to promote civilian career opportunities.
"Diversity is not a program or a policy; it is a state of being," says the Coast Guard's official diversity statement. "It provides well-rounded perspectives in problem-solving that let us identify better ways of performing the duties entrusted to us by our government and fellow citizens."

Patent Strategy: Laying the Foundation for Business Success

Do You Have a New Invention Idea?
CLICK HERE to Submit your Invention. 100% Confidential. No Obligation.
All too often inventors and entrepreneurs spend so much time creating that they have their head down, plowing forward, focusing only on the day to day operations associated with inventing and growing a business. Almost without fail, inventors know very well what they have invented and what they plan to do, but they have a terrible sense of what their invention could be. Just the other day I had a conversation with an inventor who thought we might not be understanding his invention because the first draft of the patent application seemed to miss the simplicity of his invention. Our job as patent attorneys is to not only try and protect the invention presented, but to work with the inventor to figure out the full glory of what the invention could be and what it could evolve into.
A patent application should certainly protect what the inventor is doing and what they want to do, but remember that in order to get a patent you do not have to produce a working prototype. You just need to be able to explain the invention with sufficient detail so that others skilled in the relevant technology area could both make and use the invention themselves without having to engage in undue experimentation. What is "undue experimentation" is a topic for another day, but suffice it to say that invariably what the "invention" is from a patent perspective is much broader than what an inventor thinks they have, and that is one critical reason (among many) why if you can afford to hire a patent attorney or patent agent you are always going to be better served by doing so and will wind up with much broader protection than doing it yourself.
I constantly preach to inventors and entrepreneurs that they need to approach inventing in a business responsible way. That means that you should have immediate, short-term, intermediate and long-term goals and plans in place. Treat your invention from day one as if it will be wildly successful, at least when you are dealing with your patent attorney or patent agent. Give consideration to what the next several phases of development will be if phase 1 turns out to be successful enough to warrant phase 2 and beyond. By doing this you will start to fill out those short-term, intermediate and long-term goals, which if they can be defined enough on paper can and should be integrated into your patent application. Always think about where you want to go and how you want to get there, as well as thinking about what the competition may want to do to elbow their way into your turf if you are successful. The business reality is if you are successful there will be others who want to get in on the action, that is simple economics 101. So treat your patent application as a master plan and an integral part of your business development.
It is also critical for inventors and entrepreneurs to have a strategy to succeed, which seems simple enough, but is typically anything but simple for the creative types that are so good at inventing. The goal is not to create an invention that is cool, the goal is not to get a patent, the goal is almost universally to make money. The cool invention and patent are a means to the end, not the end in and of themselves.
If you approach your patent activities appropriately you can lay the foundation of a business plan, at least insofar as the technology and technological advancement of your innovation is concerned. But like almost everything in life, there is a cost associated with succeeding. The cost is hard work to be sure, but there will also be significant financial requirements as well. While you may need to bootstrap your invention and business, as you move forward you will invariably need funding. From Angel investors to start, and maybe from Venture Capitalists eventually.
Regardless of what you may have read or been told, investors love patents and a coherent patent strategy. Patents provide a competitive advantage, and those sophisticated in business know enough to look for and exploit whatever competitive advantage exists. Patents are the 800 pound gorilla of competitive advantage, but realize if you are going to want and need significant sums of money from investors rarely does a single invention or patent command attention. No one wants to invest significant funds into a company that has a one-and-done approach to innovation. You need to understand the road is long. Take a lesson from Apple, Inc. Innovate and then churn your innovation for all its worth, re-purposing the technology, expanding into products and services, constantly push the envelope and milk the golden goose for all its worth!
With this in mind, here are some thoughts to keep in mind as you consider your invention and patent strategy. If you can get one patent you can get more, you can constantly loop back for more protection and you need to keep a vigilant eye on your patent portfolio to continue to look for opportunities. Invention is not a singular event, and neither is innovation and succeeding in the marketplace with your innovation. It is a journey!Developing a patent portfolio quick
There are several strategies for developing a patent portfolio in a relatively short period of time. First, for an extra fee of $2,400 for small entities ($4,800 for large corporations) you can obtain a patent decision with 12 months. The statistics from Track One show that decisions are being made in 3 to 6 months, and in excess of 75% of applications filed are being allowed. If you want or need a patent quickly you can get one very quickly now, and in the long run that will reduce the overall cost associated with obtaining a patent (i.e., fewer Office Actions) and virtually eliminate the opportunity costs associated with lengthy Patent Office delays. For more information and a behind the scenes look at the statistics see Track One by the Numbers: What are you Waiting for?
Second, assuming you do not accelerate with the payment of a fee, you can file an application with a narrow claim set. With the average pendency in the USPTO being well over 2 years you need to have a prosecution strategy that is calculated to lead to easy, quick issuance. While the original disclosure needs to be sufficient to support the entire invention, there is no need to file a large number of claims in the original application. Filing a small number of claims, even exceptionally narrow claims, can significantly increase the likelihood that an examiner will quickly address an application.
Second, Patent Examiners are also now allowed credit for conducting an interview prior to undertaking work on a First Office Action on the Merits. Approaching the patent examiner and offering to discuss the invention prior to a Action on the Merits may pay dividends, particularly given that patent examiners can now obtain 2 full counts of credit toward their quota if they dispose of a case without need for a Final Rejection. So if they allow a case without need for Final Rejection they get full credit and reduce the amount of time they need to work on the file. See USPTO's New Examiner Count System Goes Into Effect.
Third, maintenance fees are required to be paid in order to keep the patent from falling into the public domain. Maintenance fees are due at 3 ½ years after the date of issuance, 7 ½ years after the date of issuance and 11 ½ years after the date of issuance. Many inventors, particularly individual entrepreneurs, do not intend on making maintenance fee payments, which means their patents may be able to be inexpensively acquired.
Fourth, design patents are frequently overlooked, but when acquired in bulk they can provide a quick, cost-effective means for building exclusivity. Design patents have gained in strength in recent years due to the altered infringement test, which no longer focuses on the point of novelty. Thanks to the Federal Circuit's Egyptian Goddess decision infringement analysis focuses on the totality of the alleged infringing product and whether an ordinary lay observer would believe the allegedly infringing device is a copy of the patented invention. Design patents have been issuing of late in as quick as 6 to 9 months. Anyone with a tangible product should not overlook design protection. It is cheap, easy and quick to obtain.
Keep going back for more patent protection
Just because you obtain a patent doesn't mean you have exhausted the available protection that could be achieved from a patent application. There are at least two strategies that will allow patent applicants and/or patent owners the ability to broaden their patent protection and/or patent portfolio. First, a patent applicant may file what is called a continuation, which is a second application for the same invention claimed in a prior nonprovisional application and filed before the prior application becomes abandoned or patented. At any time before issuance, abandonment or other termination of proceedings in an earlier nonprovisional application, an applicant may file a continuation in order to introduce new claims.
Filing a broad specification with narrow claims (as mentioned above) can lead to the issuance of a patent relatively quickly in some cases. Coupled with a continuation strategy you can get a patent issued and circle back for additional protection. This strategy can be critical for start-up companies and small businesses who need funding. Investors love patents, and if you can get one patent they will know you can get others. So getting the first patent as quickly as possible and circling back for more can help entice investors to provide critical funding necessary for business expansion and further patent protections.
While many will tell you that no new matter may be added to an application once it is filed, you can indeed add new matter through the use of a special kind of continuation application. A continuation-in-part is essentially the same as a continuation except for the fact that new matter is added to the application. The new matter will not enjoy the same filing date as the earlier filed application, but it can be added to previously filed matter through the use of a continuation-in-part application. So you can file an application, obtain a patent and then add newly invented material into a continuation-in-part as you circle back for additional patent protections on the underlying specification. This may not be appropriate in all cases, but is an appropriate tool in some situations.
Additionally, when it is discovered that a patent is somehow defective, whether wholly or partly inoperative, invalid or just because the patent applicant claimed less then he or she had a right to claim in the patent, the patent may be surrendered and ultimately reissued after further examination. If you claim less than you are entitled to you can go back for more, as long as you do this within two years of the patent being issued. This is called a broadening reissue.
Strengthening your patent
There are at least two ways to strengthen your patent. First, you can strategically utilize reexamination. This first method is admittedly a tactic that is not appropriate for those who are risk adverse, but done appropriately in the right circumstances it can be used to significantly strengthen a patent. Of course, all patents are presumed to be valid, but patents that have gone through reexamination are entitled to an even stronger presumption of validity. District courts struggle with what this black letter law means, but seem to agree that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to invalidate patent claims that have emanated from reexamination. In fact, only once has the Federal Circuit declared a patent claim invalid after it had gone through reexamination.
A reexamination request can be filed anonymously, and it is only necessary to establish that a substantial new question of patentability exists as to any one of the patent claims in order to order reexamination. In the examination stage of the reexamination, normally all patent claims will be reexamined, even where the order has made a finding of a substantial new question for less than all of the patent claims.
Given that hindsight is always 20-20, mistakes and errors can and do come to light sometimes after a patent has issued. In this case consideration should be given to seeking a reissue. Unlike a reissue that seeks to broaden the scope of claim coverage, a narrowing reissue (i.e., any reissue that does not seek to broaden the scope of the claims) may be applied for at any time, assuming of course the patent is still in force. A narrowing reissue may be appropriate when a flaw or mistake is discovered in the claims that would render one or more claims wholly or partly inoperative or invalid. Furthermore, the failure to appreciate the full scope of the invention is an error correctable through reissue.
While the universal truth is that most inventions do not ultimately succeed, if you don't plan for success from day one and chart a course for achieving success you are almost certainly dooming yourself to fail. The more thought and consideration you give to the immediate, short-term, intermediate and long-term strategies you will employ, both in terms of protection and innovation, the more attractive your company will be to investors, and the more likely you will be to succeed.

I just wrote about how US companies too often fail to consider their foreign IP, including patents: http://www.chinalawblog.com/2012/04/china-ip-protection-deja-vu-all-over-again.html.
I would love to see you (a real patent attorney, as opposed to me who does not touch patents) talk about this. Will you do a post on when and how to consider patenting overseas?

"If you approach your patent activities appropriately you can lay the foundation of a business plan,"
I take the opposite position, "If you approach your business plan appropriately, you can lay the foundation for your patent plan".
In my experience, the most successful inventors are those that put the business and marketing plan first, and used patents to support that plan.

I finally got around to reading the book "One Simple Idea" by Stephen Key, which you recommended a while back in one of your blog articles. In hia book he draws an important distinction between building a start-up business around an invention vs. licensing it to an existing business. In the later case, which is main focus of his book, his advice is to file a pro se provisional and then agressively seek to license it during that first year of pendency, having the licensee take over the cost of filing the non-provisional and beyond. I largely agree with Key, except that he overlooks the long-term pitfalls of pro se filing. I believe you understand the need for a low-cost provisional, with your patent-it-yourself system, and I have also built a small solo practice around low-cost "informal" provisionals as I call them. Having read Key's book, I now believe it is vital to have an initial talk with the solo inventor who is a prostpective client regarding their busness goals, in terms of build vs. license. Your advice in this post is spot-on for building an IP portfolio for a business, but way overkill for the solo licensor model.

I don't disagree with you. There is a little bit of a chicken and an egg when it comes to patent activity and business planning.
Allow me to elaborate a bit…
Our opinions are always colored by the world we view, and most of what I do is in the software/systems/Internet arena. I deal mostly with start-up businesses or small businesses, but most are early stage start-ups. They have created something and are in one stage or another of building. They have determined that they are going to make this a business but know the importance of securing some kind of patent protection. Many times it is because some of what they are about to do will need to include others, partners or those who they are going to hire. They want some kind of patent protection started. They also want to know whether it makes any sense to even pursue a patent. So for these truly early stage software start-ups we start with a comprehensive patent search that is more of a patent map of sorts. Then we move into provisional patent application. Armed with this information and the questions that I have been working them through in terms of version next and version distant future, there is the making of an excellent business plan. The search assessment can be attached, so can the provisional (or an executive summary of the provisional).
Of course, this presupposes that the bridge has been crossed with respect to moving forward with a business. In many instances the business is already established or about to be established, some early money raised, etc.
This probably deserves its own article.

This is great. Now I'm looking forward to your "What is 'undue experimentation?'" post.

Fantastic post. Better than the 3 books I've read on patents.
Also, do you mean "risk averse" not "risk adverse"?
Gene Quinn

Yes, I suppose I probably do mean "risk averse." Sometimes the electrical engineer in me shows too much in my writing.

I'm in my pajamas with a takeout coffee cup next to me and Crouton, my cat, is perched on a pillow right next to me intently licking his toes. I've sent out hundreds of personalized emails to potential clients and subjected myself to a many a cold call on this fine morning. The nibbles come, and jobs do happen, but great success still evades me. Perhaps I will not change out of my pajamas today.
I've fought the good fight for more than a few years now. I've had some quality advertising gigs in the entertainment, beauty, and fashion industries, met hundreds of top-level creatives, and done some fabulous editorials for local and national magazines. I am a former magazine photo editor for both Movieline and The Hollywood Reporter and have great connections. Yet here I sit, on this plateau. Oh, and you're here with me? What's up?

Changing directions and adding new material to your repertoire may be rewarding – and necessary to grow a photography or illustration business these days. For some, it means exploring new categories or redirecting efforts toward different markets. An artist may be established in the editorial market, for instance, but recognize opportunities in the advertising market.
A common mistake made by some commercial artists is to adapt their work and vision to fulfill a market's needs and desires, rather than creating work they're passionate about and seeking a market for it. The former demands second-guessing, and generally this means compromised rather than vision-driven portfolios.
One of the things I've learned in many years of running a small business is that there's no guarantee of success, no matter what you do, how well you do it or how talented you think you are.
I can guarantee you one thing, though: You will fail in your attempts at success if you expect not to work hard, or plan to let other people do the hard work for you. I've seen a lot of talented people fail miserably, and some rather marginally talented people have immense success, based on their attitude, passion and dedication, as well as their marketing and promotion work.
Part of the process of generating ideas is giving your creative and problem-solving abilities a workout. Although the bulk of your ideas may not carry through, they will serve as inspiration and fodder for future projects.
Staying CREATIVE … easier said than done, right? Wrong. I will actually challenge you and say that it doesn't need to be so hard. That is not to say that you won't hit a block at some point, because that is the nature of creativity - it ebbs and flows, kind of like the ocean. Similar to the ocean, creativity is constant and you need to be receptive for when it hits you, so be prepared.
Having a lot of time on your hands is only a good thing when you know what to do with it. If your passion is to prepare your business for success then you should have some type of plan. With decent capital, you can actually have fun with the preparations if you're into that kind of thing. Working with little capital, however, should feed your creative side, as it takes imagination to come up with a successful plan within a limited budget!
This is a question that comes up often with emerging photographers, who are both intimidated and discouraged by the magnitude of great work out there on the internet.
When motivation is eroding under pressure, go back to something you've always loved, Revitalize your vision and expand on your creative experience in new ways. Give yourself permission to connect with your inner artist.
I was recently inspired by a blog posting by Luke Copping; Copping discussed finding inspiration with contributions provided by 18 creatives from our industry, myself included. Luke Copping's "18 Imaginative Thinkers Break Your Creative Block"The responses were not all the same, which was refreshing…we all had our own styles. Here is my recommendation to getting what you need. Ask yourself these 3 basic questions to get back to your creative roots of shooting:

Vacuum Dewatered Floors Process
Floors in factories and industries have concrete being the most versatile of flooring material, has been in use for a long time. To overcome the deficiencies of concrete a system was devised to improve the properties of such concrete floors. This system is "Vacuum Dewatered Floors.
1. Compressive strength of floor increases by upto 60%
2. Tensile strength increases by @ 70%
3. Cement consumption is reduced to the extent of 40%, no cement is required separately for finishing the surface.
4. Abrasion resistance of the floor increases by @ 60% resulting in less wear and rear of the floor surface
5. Shrinkage of concrete is reduced and floor wraps less.
this system, concrete is poured in place & vibrated with a poker vibrator.
Then a screed vibrator is run over the surface, supported on channel shuttering
spaced 4.0 meters apart. The screed vibrator is run twice to achieve optimum
compaction & leveling. After this a system of lower mats & top mat is
laid on the green concrete & this is attached to a vacuum pump. This draws
out excess water.

hello would like to get the mod Rise Of Rome 2 For Lord Of The Rings Battle For Middle Earth 2 I see no download? and if I do download it will it be in the game when I play it ?
Man bro, I feel for you with colonel wog stealing your work and all. That really is too bad man.
si j'etais vraiment si mauvais je n'aurai pas fait mon mea culpa !!
cette histoire était entre moi et kelso point final ....
please help me, i have installed it into everywhere i could think off (i play mods very regulary) and bfme2 just loads up when i hit the short cut :(
the read me file was terribly explained
i got it to work but the some factions are like isengard, mordor and ect. and mars, jupiter and one other are all the same :(
Overall, yes. But we are doing a public release with 2 of the 4 factions completed. Then another release with all 4 factions. And then the subsequent releases will be for the campaign. So the mod will reach 100% completion when all 4 factions are done, we have all new multiplayer maps, all the new sounds and music are complete, and the campaign is finished. This first release will hit when the mod is 50% completed overall.
Is your mod really only 30% done (Like it says on the RoR moddb website)?????

text: Greetings, Actually many of us already belong to the SLAB (Steppes Loose Association of Brewers). We aren't a very vocal group and most members have been rather busy with real life or other offices as of late but we do get together on occasion to do some in mass brewing. We elected not to form a guild because all of us already have too much paperwork to do and it really cuts into our drinking time! Meetings are anything but regular and mostly done when everyone can coordinate some free time together (easier said then done). However we do manage to make a few gallons every now and then. Also we're in contact with a large number of the other in and out of kingdom brewers so we always manage to get plenty of critiques. When we talked last at Gulf War we decided the next mass brew would be to start mead for next years event and replace Jon's five year old batch we drank this year. We'll likely start a couple of batches of ale as well while we're at it. I can add your email address to the group should you wish? Come to think of it I belive Jon (our Steppes seneschal) is still head of the SLAB? Well, we don't call ourselves a "loose association" for nothing! Regards, Ironwyrm Faelan Caimbeul <faelancaimbeul at gmail.com> wrote: I know there are a few brewers in the area, myself included. I, however, and just starting and basically experimenting, but don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of. Would anyone be interested in starting a guild, with regular monthly meetings? I figure more often than that might not be of much use, considering it takes at least a month to ferment anything. It would help all of us to improve our craft by having people that can taste and critique our works. Any takers?

Kodak announced a new color filter technology for digital imaging sensors that promises to improve low-light shooting by 2x to 4x (one to two stops) when compared with current imaging sensors. Changes in the color filter (present as a layer on top of a sensor) allows the sensor to gather more light. This new technology will be available for sampling in the first quarter of 2008.
Current color filters are based on the "Bayer Pattern", developed back in 1976. The Bayer Pattern is a pattern of red, green, and blue pixels where half of the pixels collect green light and the other half made of pixels that collect equal amounts of red and blue pixels. Software is then used to reconstruct a full color signal for each pixel.
Bayer Pattern
Sample pattern for new Kodak technology
|Images from http://1000nerds.kodak.com/
Kodak's new color filter allows the capture of "clear" or panchromatic pixels. Since the colors are not filtered, these clear pixels can gather more light. The next step is then to change the software algorithms that reconstruct the image data.
By gathering more light, all kinds of good things can happen. First, low-light shooting isn't as noisy. Since the sensor is more sensitive to light, you can use faster shutter speeds to stop action better in your shots.
At the moment, Kodak is developing CMOS sensors for consumer markets (still cameras and camera phones) that use this new color filter technology. Since this technological breakthrough is simply a color filter, it can be applied to CCD sensors as well, opening up the range of possible applications for the technology, including industrial and scientific imaging.
For more about the technology and some illustrations on image improvements, read this Q&A with the inventors at Kodak's blog.

As spring kicks off and the temperature starts to heat up, parks and recreation departments across the country are peeling off swimming pool covers and preparing for the upcoming season. This year, however, the Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Act may delay those plans for some agencies. Enacted as an anti-entrapment protection bill to protect swimmers, public facilities are forced to comply with the regulations, but what does that mean? And what will happen if a pool is not in compliance …

Christine has been President of Humane Society Silicon Valley for the past 13 years. During her tenure, Christine has led a progressive spay/neuter program that has dramatically reduced the number of incoming animals to
the shelter from 45,000 in 1993 to approximately 9,000 in 2006. Under her leadership, the shelter instituted a spay/neuter at adoption policy, pediatric spay/neuter, an affordable spay/neuter vaccination clinic, and encouraged local
municipalities to offer discounted spay/neuter voucher programs. Christine has also instituted policies that have substantially increased the number of animals adopted. Today, 99 percent of the animals available for adoption find new
homes; ten years ago, less than 15 percent found new homes. Under Christine's management, the Humane Society's volunteer base increased from 50 to more than 700, and the shelter's donor base increased from 300 to 30,000 donors. In addition

Livingston 2-1 Falkirk: Report
Livingston 2-1 Falkirk: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Livingston hold on to take spoils
Livingston are up to fourth in the First Division after a 2-1 victory over Falkirk.
Marc McNulty and Keaghan Jacobs scored the goals to secure Livingston's second home league win of the campaign.
McNulty was found in the area by Stefan Scougall's pass in the 23rd minute and the forward tucked away his ninth goal of the season into the bottom corner.
Livingston goalkeeper Andrew McNeil tipped away Blair Alston's 35-yard effort in the second half as Falkirk looked for a leveller.
But Jacobs made it two in the 65th minute with a low finish from 12 yards.
Conor McGrandles pulled a goal back with six minutes left with a well-taken volley at the back post to score his first goal for the club.
But Livingston held on to take the three points and move above Raith in the table.

From the Santa Cruz Sentinel:
Fort Ord was established in 1917. Generations of Americans served at Fort Ord, with regiments fighting in World War II and protecting California's coastline after the attack on Pearl Harbor. With nearly 100 years in service, Fort Ord has been a critical part of our nation's defense and our state's security.
Today, Fort Ord can serve our region in a new way. With our state and region facing lean times, it is clear that designating Fort Ord as a national monument would preserve this beautiful place forever and create an immediate boost for our local economy.
I ask the president to look no further than Fort Ord for our country's next National Monument. It would be a wonderful testament to the sacrifice our veterans and our community have made in service of our nation.

Salina scored three of its runs in the top of the first inning, with Hays getting one back in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI-single by Kade Parker. Salina extended its lead to 4-1 after another run in the top of the second and a fifth run in the top of the fifth.
The Eagles (5-2) trailed 6-1 entering the bottom of the sixth inning when an RBI-double by Dalton Stout made it 6-2.
The Hays rally continued into the seventh and final inning, when the Eagles scored three runs to get within a single run. The comeback attempt fell short when Jared Haynes struck out swinging with two runners on base.
Marcus Altman (1-1) took the loss for the Eagles, pitching 5.2 innings. He allowed 10 hits and five earned runs to go with five walks and two strikeouts.

TALBOYS, DAVID ALPHONSO (1790?–1840), bookseller, born about 1790, established himself as a bookseller in Bedford. He subsequently removed his business to Oxford, where he became known for his intimate acquaintance with the value and merits of books generally. He also materially aided the study of history in England by his excellent translations of Heeren's 'Researches into the Politics, Intercourse, and Trade of the Carthaginians, Ethiopians, and Egyptians' (1832), and of the same author's 'Manual of the Political System of Europe' (1834). On 1 Dec. 1827 he was admitted to the privileges of a member of the university. He took a leading part in the affairs of the city of Oxford, was a councillor of the east ward, and served the office of sheriff. He died at Oxford on 23 May 1840, leaving a widow and seven children. He was the author of 'Oxford Chronological Tables of Universal History,' 1835, fol.; 1840, fol.; and, besides the works of Heeren mentioned, translated Adelung's 'Historical Sketch of Sanscrit Literature,' Oxford, 1832, 8vo, making numerous additions and corrections.[Gent.

Google changes name of Nexus 5 launcher; move could signal its availability soon on Google Play Store
If you go to Settings> Home > menu after updating the Search app, you should find the new name of the launcher staring you in the face. And those of you who sideloaded the Nexus 5 launcher on their handset should see a splash screen (image below) after the update.
Does this all mean that the heralded Nexus 5 Google Now launcher will soon be made available to other Android users via the Google Play Store? Stay tuned.

I'd love the new launcher to be in the app store. Though I came up with its APK for my tablet after it got the OTA KitKat update, I'd love to see it updated automatically.

I think this is Google's move to counter the Magazine UX. A free launcher with Google experience sin e Magazine UX cannot be turned of.
2. Klamba92 (Posts: 206; Member since: 25 Jun 2012)
Yes it will be great to have this come out officially and be optimised for the other nexus devices and even the other android devices but launchers like Nova, apex and action launcher still have greater functionality. I'm still waiting on stock launchers being able to use custom icon packs!

You can change the icons using the Icons Changer app.

I wish they would. The launcher's pretty lightweight for an ordinary launcher

While I have a Nexus 5, I do like the idea of Google putting the launcher in the Play Store. You can almost have a Nexus device, without having to worry about which version of Android you have.

[How To is a recurring feature in which we demonstrate techniques designed to improve your game, and make your skill set more than a bit awesome. This time out, we'll help you kick ass in Anarchy Reigns' Death Ball multiplayer mode.]
I have a new favorite sports game. It's called Death Ball.
Never heard of it? Not surprising. Death Ball isn't an annual, big budget licensed release that aims to be the digital representation of a real life competition. No, Death Ball is the very opposite of that. It's one of Anarchy Reigns' many multiplayer modes and a decidedly "Platinum Games" spin on hockey and American football.
And it's grand.
There are no skates, pads, fouls, or penalties for that matter, but Death Ball ranks up there with the likes of NBA Jam and Tecmo Super Bowl as an incredibly awesome arcade sports game. In Death Ball, two teams of four — Red Team, Blue Team — compete to see which faction can score the most goals in a 10 minute time frame. Matches start with a glowing, neon-green ball at the center of the playfield. The teams rush in to scoop it up so that they may place the ball in the opponent's goal –either by running in with it or hurling it in — to score a point.
Both goals start off closed at the beginning of each round. A gauge at the top of the screen indicates how long each team has held the ball. When the gauge has filled beyond a specific indicator (about 3/4 of the way along the bar), the goal will open and allow players to score. Allowing the gauge to fill to 100% will allow the player carrying the ball to use their "Superstar Shot" – a powerful, damaging and difficult to intercept shot unique to every character.
Simple, eh?
No quite.
The in-game athletes are cyborgs, freaks, and enhanced humans who make up Anarchy Reigns' more traditional multiplayer modes, so carnage quickly ensues in a Mutant League Football-like way. Every move that your character has in the normal brawling modes is available in Death Ball, so you can chainsaw, shoot, and pummel opponents to death. Unlike Mutant League Football, death here isn't permanent; if you die, you respawn 10 seconds later. 10 agonizing seconds later.
If you want to spend less time on the sidelines and more time destroying opponents, learn how to dominate in Anarchy Reign's Death Ball.
1. Keep Your Eyes On The Prize
This is vital. Death Ball has a lot going on — a bouncing ball, sprinting characters, fights — so don't get distracted. A big part of this is simply not allowing yourself to be goaded into unnecessary fisticuffing. Features Editor Gabriel Zamora and I watched in horror as a big-bodied team featuring Big Bull and Douglas attempt to pummel us into a loss by playing "jail ball." The first minute or so, we were absolutely hammered at the "line of scrimmage," but once we broke away from the pack and focused on scoring (unlike our opponents) we coasted to a 10+ point victory. Several times. Also, the mini-map on the bottom right corner of the screen is your friend. Use it to point yourself toward the ball and keep an eye on encroaching players.
2. A Worm Needs To Get Dirty
At least one teammate needs to play the goon. While it's incredibly enticing to be your team's Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman-like players are equally valuable. If you can thwart those who would bulldoze your squad's ball handler, you are a vital asset to the team (although the game doesn't track defensive stops). Tailing the ball holder allows you to do that as you can put yourself between a teammate and the opposition, and impede an opponent with an attack, combo, or throw. Staying close to the carrier also makes you an eligible receiver should your teammate feel the need to pass the rock.
3. Don't Waste Rampage
Rampage Mode is particularly useful in Death Ball — it allows you run across the stadium virtually uninterrupted. This is true for the opposition as well, so save Rampage Mode for pinches, like when you're overwhelmed by opponents, need to score that last-second goal, or want to stop another rampaging player. It's important to note that Rampage Mode is not required to intercept a Superstar Shot, so don't waste it for that purpose. Superstar Shots can be seized by opposing players who stand in front of and block the shot. Doing so will trigger a button-mashing event that, if successfully completed, will stop the shot and award that player the ball. You can see an example of catching a Superstar Shot at the 6:25 mark in the video above. Zamora catches the ball and proceeds to take it from coast to coast for an incredibly easy score.
4. Knock 'em Back
If opposing players attempt to knock the ball out of your hand, a quick 360 attack (executed by pressing the light and heavy attack buttons simultaneously) will blow them off of you. Well-timed 360 attacks are key to helping you maintain ball position, particularly when you're closing in on the goal.

Wisconsin residents begin 10 week signup period for health exchanges
Updated On: Oct 01 2013 11:17:08 AM CDT
The uninsured now have 10 weeks to sign up for health insurance or face a penalty.
The new online marketplace, or exchange, where federally subsidized private insurance plans are offered went live on Tuesday. It is estimated that about 700,000 Wisconsin residents are eligible to shop for plans on the exchange.
That includes about 92,000 people currently on the BadgerCare Medicaid program whose coverage will end in January.
They and others without coverage will have to sign up by Dec. 15 in order to have a policy in effect for January.
You can learn more on our Health Reform section of WISN.com by clicking here.
Advocates, state regulators, public health officials and others who worked to spread the word about the enrollment period beginning didn't know how many people would seek out help to sign up on Tuesday.
The government is also offering online registration by clicking here.

In a first for daytime drama, CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful went all the way to the Middle East for the wedding of Brooke Logan and Bill Spencer (Katherine Kelly Lang and Don Diamont, pictured below). The exotic adventure, shot in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, airs May 23 through June 3 and includes an uninvited guest — Brooke's ex-hubby Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), who is determined to stop the I do's. In a wet-and-wild twist, Ridge falls out of a helicopter and into the Persian Gulf and disappears. But is it before or after he gets to the ceremony? Kaye told TV Guide Magazine all about it. Well, almost all.

Want to know what genealogists from coast to snowed-in coast are talking about? Of course you do.
Tonight is the premiere of Faces of America on PBS. I'm pretty sure it's going to be excellent. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. hosts it, and they use DNA (plus good old-fashioned research) to learn about the family histories of 12 famous Americans:
- Professor and poet Elizabeth Alexander
- Chef Mario Batali
- Comedian Stephen Colbert
- Novelist Louise Erdrich
- Journalist Malcolm Gladwell
- Actress Eva Longoria
- Musician Yo-Yo Ma
- Director Mike Nichols
- Her Majesty Queen Noor
- Television host/heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz
- Actress Meryl Streep
- Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi
If you saw African American Lives, this is along those same lines (and if you didn't, you should rent it or something, because it's excellent). You definitely don't have to be a genealogist to enjoy this stuff. It's on tonight at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central (although you should check your local listings, because sometimes they move stuff around).
