US 4987412 A Abstract An apparatus and method for location by location correlation of multiple images from Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and other sources. Multiple images of a material specimen are displayed on one or more monitors of an interactive graphics system. Specimen landmarks are located in each image and mapping functions from a reference image to each other image are calcuated using the landmark locations. A location selected by positioning a cursor in the reference image is mapped to the other images and location identifiers are simultaneously displayed in those images. Movement of the cursor in the reference image causes simultaneous movement of the location identifiers in the other images to positions corresponding to the location of the reference image cursor.
Claims(8) 1. A method of visually demonstrating a location of an image of an object which corresponds to a selected location on another image of the object and simultaneously visually identifying those locations with sufficient accuracy to permit comparison of Nondestructive Evaluation results, said method comprising:
(a) displaying a plurality of images of an object on a monitor of an interactive display system; (b) locating three or more landmarks on each displayed image of the object on the monitor; (c) selecting one image as the reference image; (d) calculating mapping functions from the selected reference image to each other displayed image using the landmark locations; (e) selecting a location of interest in the reference image; (f) identifying the location on each displayed image that corresponds to the selected location on the reference image; whereby locations that can be visually located on one image are visually demonstrated in other images that may contain Nondestructive Evaluation results to be correlated to the selected location. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting the reference image is accomplished by locating the landmarks in the image to be the reference image at a predefined numerical position in the sequence of images during landmark location.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said locations in each displayed image that correspond to the selected location on the reference image are identified by displaying a cursor at those locations.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of displaying images includes the step acquiring said images from Nondestructive Evaluation data acquisition apparatus, from digitized video input of images, and/or from returning stored image for display.
5. An interactive display system including a monitor, computer means, for movement of a location identifier on the monitor and a means for input of commands to the computer, the improvement to enable said display system to correlate corresponding positions in multiple independently generated images on the same object further compromises:
a means for display of at least two images or an object on the display means; a means for appearance of a location identifier on a predetermined displayed reference image; a means for correlating through employment of a mapping function a location identifier on each of the alternate displays to a corresponding position as depicted by said location identifier on the reference image; means for moving the location identifier on the reference image; means for correlating a response to a movement of the location identifier on the reference image to the respective movement of said location identifiers on the other alternate displayed images with the result that a change in the position of the location identifier on the reference image will result in a corresponding change in the alternate image location identifier producing the effect that one location identifier tracks the other with respect to their physical location on the displayed object; whereby images can be compared at specific locations and their relationship to each other or an image demonstrating failure location can be evaluated. 6. The interactive graphics display of system of claim 5 wherein said location identifier appearing on each image other than the reference image is the location identifier which appeared on the reference image moved rapidly from image to image appearing at the locations specified by said mapping function, or in the alternative, if the apparatus will support multiple location identifiers unique to each image these location identifiers will appear to track simultaneously controlled by said mapping function.
7. The interactive display system of claim 5 wherein said system includes a high capacity data storage system wherein information for the generation of the images by the computer is stored and supplied to the computer by said system.
8. The interactive display system of claim 5 wherein said system includes a Nondestructive Evaluation data acquisition apparatus which generates an information stream and a means for utilizing said information stream in a format including a direct input signal which requires no signal processing, a direct input signal which must be processed, and a visual information display which must be processed.
Description The United States Government has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. W-31-109-ENG-38 between the U.S. Department of Energy and the University of Chicago. The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method for comparison and evaluation of images of a material test specimen from NonDestructive Evaluation (NDE) and other sources. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for displaying similar images of a specimen on an interactive graphics display system and accurately locating and displaying locations in images which correspond to a selected location in one of the images. Reliability of structural components can be achieved by accurate prediction of susceptibility to failure. Nondestrucutive evaluation by a method which has been shown to detect flaws in the material of which a structural member is composed is an effective method for achieving reliability of the structural member. Several NDE methods can be used to identify flaws which may cause failures of structural materials. Identification of the NDE method which most reliably identifies flaws that lead to failure is an important step in the development and application of structural materials. Several NDE methods are used to evaluate materials. These include ultrasonic scans, radiography, X and gamma ray Computerized Tomography (CT), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Each of these methods is primarily sensitive to a single material characteristic. X-ray CT is primarily sensitive to density variations, NMR to chemical variations, and ultrasound to mechanical properties. To determine which of these methods may be most useful for predicting failure of a particular material, accurate comparison of images from the various NDE methods at the location of failure of a specimen is required. Because this type of comparison must be performed for a number of specimen, efficiency as well as accuracy of the comparison is desirable. An interactive graphics display system can be used to identify specific locations in images of NDE specimens through use of the "Image-Pro" version 1.06 software. The method by which locations are identified using this software is to display an image on which a location of interest can be identified, obtain the distances from the location to identifiable specimen landmarks such as corners, display another image on which the location is to be identified and obtain distances from the identifiable landmarks to trial points until the location of interest is identified with acceptable accuracy This method provides adequate correlation and is acceptable for applications that require few locations to be correlated in a small number of images. The single image display and the trial and error method of locating points are disadvantages for applications that require many locations to be identified. Therefore, in view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method to evaluate a plurality of images of a material test specimen including NDE images by providing simultaneous accurate location by location correlation of the images. It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method to evaluate a plurality of images from various NDE and other sources of a material test specimen that is efficient to implement and will allow rapid visual interpretation of the images. Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. To achieve the foregoing and other objects in accordance with the purposes of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the apparatus and method of this invention is an interactive display system comprising a computer and display on which multiple images of a material test specimen are simultaneously displayed. Locations choosen in one image are accurately located and identified in the other images by the computer. The method by which location by location correlation of the displayed NDE images is efficiently achieved comprises displaying images on the display, selecting a reference image on which locations of interest will be selected, locating a number of specimen landmark points on each image, calculating mapping functions from the reference image to the other images by the computer, locating points of interest on the reference image, calculating the corresponding locations in the other images from the mapping functions by the computer and displaying an identifier at those calculated locations. The reference image may be selected when landmarks on the images are being located by defining the reference image to be at a certain position in the sequence of images as landmarks are located, for example the first image in which landmarks are located. Locations in the displayed images may be identified by generation of a small visible identifier such as a cursor at the location. The apparatus by which comparison and evaluation of images from multiple NDE and other sources is achieved comprises an interactive graphics display system. The interactive graphics display system comprises one or more display monitors capable of display of multiple images and at least one cursor, a computer and a means for generating the monitor display and reporting the location on the display of at least one cursor, a cursor locator device capable of providing position data to the computer, and a device to communicate operator commands to the computer. This method and apparatus reduces the problem of locating an arbitrary location in multiple images of the specimen to locating a small number of identifiable landmarks of the specimen in each image. After these landmarks are located, the method demonstrates a selected location of interest in the reference image in all displayed images. The accompanying drawings which are incorporated in and form a part of the specification, illustrate an embodiment of the present invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. In the drawings: FIG. 1 is a diagram of an interactive graphics display system on which multiple image correlation is implemented. FIGS. 2A and 2B are a flow diagram of the method for correlating locations in multiple images. FIG. 3 is an illustration of the use of a mapping function to determine corresponding positions expressed as coordinates in two images and a mapping function in the form of a Taylor's series. FIG. 4 is an illustration of the relationship between the corresponding locations of three points in two images and the relationship expressed as a matrix equation. To understand the present invention and its embodiments, the requirements that are necessary for meaningful practice of the invention in all embodiments should be recognized. Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates an interactive graphics display system comprising a bit mapped graphics display monitor, 10, controlled by a microcomputer 12 a mouse cursor locator device, 16, and a keyboard, 14, which comprise the preferred system for practicing the present invention. The source of the images are from NDE data acquisition apparatus that provide digital image data, 22, from digitized video images of NDE results, produced by means of a video camera which converts an optical image to an analog signal which is then processed by a video digitizer converting the analog signal to a digitized form 20, and/or from stored images, 18. The bit mapped display monitor is capable of displaying multiple images and one cursor. The computer which controls the display on the monitor is capable of generating a multiple image display on the monitor and accepts position information from a cursor locator device. Driver software for the particular display generation hardware used to drive the monitor is capable of generating a multiple image display, displaying one cursor and be capable of reporting the position of one cursor on the monitor. Driver software for the cursor locator device is capable of obtaining position data from the cursor locator device. The keyboard provides a means to provide input to the computer to specify input required to execute implementing software. The disk storage has sufficient capacity to store images to be displayed. It will be understood by one skilled in the art that the functions performed by this apparatus may be performed by alternative means. As examples, multiple graphics display monitors each displaying one or more images may be used in place of the graphics display monitor. Each display monitor should provide sufficient image resolution to display detailed NDE results and be able to display one or more means for identifying locations on images such as a cursor. A host mainframe may be used in place of the microcomputer. A joystick, digitizer, or keyboard may be used in place of a mouse as a means for directing cursor movement. A locator device may be used to communicate operator commands through a command interface in place of a keyboard. The preferred embodiment of the present invention by way of example comprises an interactive display system that creates a 1024�1024�8 bit resolution image on a monitor. Images of 512�483 picture elements are displayed with sufficient resolution for accurate comparison of the images. Locations on the individual images are demonstrated with a cursor which was displayed on the images. The images each require approximately a quarter Megabyte for disk storage. The capacity of disk storage used in the present preferred embodiment of the invention is 20 Megabytes. Referring to FIG. 2, the method of correlating locations in multiple images is illustrated by a flow diagram. A general description of the method is illustrated by the captions and sequence of the dotted line elements and the specific implementation of the preferred embodiment is illustrated by the steps of solid line elements of the flow diagram. The first general step of the method is to initialize the hardware and software of the graphics display system and display the images to be correlated, 30. The specific steps of the preferred implementation are to specify file names of the stored images to be displayed, 32, display the images, 34, and initialize the cursor locator mouse, 36. The second step of the general method is to identify the specimen landmarks in each image that will be used to calculate the corresponding locations in images other than the reference image, 40. The mapping functions that are used in the preferred embodiment of the method require three landmarks. The landmarks are located in each image by moving a small arbitrary displayed image, cursor, to the location of the landmark and obtaining that location, 44, and repeating that operation three times for each image, 46, until landmarks are obtained for all images, 42. An example of an implementation of this step of the method can be seen from FIG. 1. Two images, 11 and 13, are displayed on the graphics display monitor, 10. A convenient set of landmarks can be chosen to be corners, 23, 24, and 27, 28, 29, of the images 11 and 13. The reference image can be selected to be either of the displayed images. The general method only requires that the reference image be identified. The reference image is selected in the preferred embodiment of the method as the first image for which landmarks are identified. The reference image could be defined to be the second, third, or any image in which landmarks are identified. The third step of the general method is to calculate the mapping functions that will be used to locate points in images that correspond to selected points in the reference image, 50. The steps of the preferred embodiment will be described after the derivation of the preferred mappings functions is described. The fourth step of the general method is the use of the graphics display system to select locations of interest in the reference image and identify the corresponding locations in the other images, 60. The referred embodiment of the invention implements this step by moving a cursor to a location of interest on the reference image, 62, reading the position of this cursor on the screen, 64, calculating the corresponding location in the other images using the mapping functions, 66, moving the cursor sequentially to the calculated images, 68, and determining whether to continue the process by determining whether a button on the cursor locator mouse has been pressed by the operator, 70. The cursor is moved from reference image to the calculated location in other images sufficiently rapidly that the display appears to contain multiple blinking cursors. As the mouse is used to change the position of the cursor in the reference image, the position of the cursor in the other images changes. As an example, if Image 11 of FIG. 1 is the reference image, moving a cursor from point 23 to point 25 would simultaneously move a cursor from point 27 to point 29 in Image 13. Execution of the program is terminated when the button on the mouse is pressed, 80. The mapping functions used for the present preferred embodiment of the invention is based on a Taylor's series derivation of the mapping function as illustrated in FIG. 3. The general expression for the relationship between the coordinates of the system of Image 2, f1 (x) and f2 (x), and the coordinates of Image 1, X1 and X2, is written first in subscript notation and then explicitly in FIG. 3. The coordinates of a point in Image 2, f1 and f2, which correspond to the coordinates of a point in Image 1, X1 and X2, can be calculated as indicated in FIG. 3, once the coefficients, f1 (0), f2 (0), f1,1 (0), etc., are known. Terms greater than first order are neglected leaving six constant coefficients to be determined. Referring to FIG. 4, shapes Q and R can be considered to be two images of the same specimen. Coordinates on the images are expressed in terms of coordinates Qx, Qy, Rx, and Ry. The relationship from FIG. 3 can be used to determine the coordinates in R that correspond to coordinates of a point in Q. The notation of FIG. 4 corresponds to that of FIG. 3 such that coefficients C1, C2, all, a12, a21, a22 corresponds to f1 (0), f2 (0), f1,1 (0), f1,2 (0), f2,1 (0), f2,2 (0) respectively. The relationship between the coordinates of three points which are known to correspond in the two images can be written in the matrix form of FIG. 4. Creation of the square matrix of FIG. 4 is 54 of FIG. 2B. Coefficients C1, C2, all, a12, a21, and a22 can be determined by calculating the inverse of the square matrix and premultiplying each side of the equation by that inverse matrix. This calculation is 56 of FIG. 2B The position on the image R in FIG. 4 which corresponds to a known point on the image Q can be calculated from the matrix equation: ##EQU1## This relationship is then used to calculate the location in an image, R, of a location in the reference image, Q, that is selected using the cursor and cursor locator device. This calculation occurs as 66 of FIG. 2B. The method is then used to demonstrate locations in other images that correspond to locations selected in the reference image by using the cursor locator device to move the cursor to a position on the reference image box, calculating the position of the corresponding position in another image, moving the cursor to the calculated position.

Qantas warns of half-year losses, announces 1,000 staff cutbacks
Qantas A380
By Kurt Hofmann
has warned it expects to make an underlying loss before tax of between A$250 million ($226 million) and A$300 million for the half year ending Dec. 31.
The airline group blamed a "marked deterioration" in trading conditions, especially in November, "with both passenger loads and yields below the already negative trends for the year to date."
As a result, 1,000 jobs will be cut over the next 12 months as the airline attempts to retrench and make savings of $2 billion over a three-year period.
CEO Alan Joyce said: "We will do whatever we need to do to secure the Qantas Group's future. The challenges we now face are immense—but we will overcome them."
He said the group would make "accelerated cost reductions across all areas of the business," which, in addition to the job losses, would include CEO and board pay cuts, a pay freeze and no FY14 bonus for executives, a review of spending, network optimization and improved fleet utilization, and further overhead reductions.
Joyce said unit cost savings of 19% had been achieved since FY09 (excluding fuel), but acknowledged: "These actions are not enough to deal with the current situation."
Yield (excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements) is expected to be approximately 3.5% lower for the half year compared to the same period last year, largely due to capacity increases in both domestic and international markets. Load factor is expected to be down 1.6 points year on year, while fuel costs are expected to A$88 million higher.
Joyce said the strong Australian dollar and high jet fuel costs had exacerbated Qantas' high cost base. He called on the Australian government to help level the playing field in the face of growing competition from international carriers owned and/or heavily supported by their governments.
"The Australian international market is the toughest anywhere in the world," he said. "Our competitors in the international market, almost all owned or generously supported by their governments, have increased capacity to pursue Australian dollar profits, changing the shape of the market permanently."
In addition, Joyce accused Virgin Australia's strategy of attracting more than A$300 million of foreign government capital to finance domestic capacity increases, "designed to weaken Qantas in the domestic market," of having "profound implications for the future of Australia's aviation industry. The uneven playing field in Australian aviation is being tilted further."
He said the group is trying to identify structural changes that could potentially unlock sources of capital and value for shareholders, stressing that "no options will be excluded from the review."
Qantas said that continued global economic uncertainty, high fuel prices and unfavorable foreign exchange rates meant the outlook for the second half of FY14 "remained volatile." As a result, it is "not possible to provide further guidance at this time."

I'd say the 30-30 is.
This is a discussion on Is the 30.06 the most common deer hunting round in North America? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I'd say the 30-30 is....

I would have to say that the 30/30 is probably the most common hunting round.
I have never killed a deer with the 30/30, since I don't have one. I have lever guns but not the 30/30. I have killed deer with the 30.06 since I have one of those.
Now, all that being said, by most common, are you talking more deer killed with or more hunters usings. My guess is that more hunters use a 30/30, since many a dad will buy their son/daughter that gun first before stepping up to the 30.06 round.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Here is a maybe.
Might also have to do with style preference. Many options with several + / - with bolt action and semi-autos.
But the 30/30 is the champ of lever action deer hunting. So sometimes it is just a preference for a lever action, and most who prefer lever action go with the 30/30.
Not the same consistency with other actions.
Just a thought.
I would go with .30-30 and then the .30-06
I use a .308 myself
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
In the southeast, I would say the 30/30 is. I have friends in the west (and other parts) who use .308, 300winMag, 7mm, 270, etc. The 30.06 is used alot but I wouldn't think it is the most popular.
I personally use a .300WinMag as an all around big game gun, and tailor the loads to what I'm hunting at the time. I also have a 30/30 for bear & boar hunting and have used it for deer- especially if I'm hunting in the thick where visibility is less than 75 yards. (alot of east Tennessee)
G-23, 27, 35 (all .40)
G-29 10mm
H&K 45c
Les Baer Thunder Ranch 5"
.30-06 or .30-30 for sure. I would guess .30-30 honestly.
This doesn't give caliber but does break it out by type of weapon used for deer. Interesting that 79% was with a rifle.
In my Dad's generation the 30-'06 was the most popular among his freinds and the 30-30 was second. Having said that Dad always preferred the 30-30 and I have known him to hunt with a .308. He has at least two '06s, but I have never seen him take one hunting.
In my hunting circle the .308 used to be the most popular and the 30-30 is second. Having said that, as we reached middle age many of my buddies got caught up in the "magnum" craze and started buying 300 win mags and 7mm mags. Several later got rid of those and went back to the .308 becuase the cost, recoil and muzzle blast is nearly intolerable and is just not justified in woods hunting like we always did, where you usually couldn't see for 100yrds, much less shoot at something that far away. So they gave up the magnums. I have to admit to going back from the .308 to the 30-30 simply becuase it's more pleasant to shoot. Becuase I have a bolt action that kicks pretty good, now my dad's semi-auto remington is a smooth shooter with very little recoil and if I had that I may have stayed with .308. I like to shoot and practice with my hunting rifles and 20 rounds out of my .308 will leave you with a sore shoulder for days, where my dad's won't.
So I gues what I'm alluding to is that depending on where you hunt and what stage of your hunting career your in tends to dictate what you shoot in many cases, and new stuff is always luring people away from the tried and true, therefore the popularity of any given caliber will fluctuate. I still believe that the '06 is the most widely used, even though no one I can think of in my circle uses one. But, it may be the 30-30. I really don't know or have any basis to knwo other than things I have read.
Here is another unscientific poll :
Most Popular Deer Caliber - Gun and Game Forums
Here is an article: The top six deer cartridges in North America, in terms of factory ammunition sales, are the .30-06 Spfd., .270 Win., .30-30 Win., .308 Win., .243 Win., and 7mm Rem. Mag. DEER RIFLE
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
I go Black powder .50 in begining then switch between my Rem700 30-06 and my Winchester 30-30 during rifle season.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but if you take into account all deer taken, legally or not, (IE poaching) I would say that the 22lr is possibly the most common caliber.
Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.
My first year hunting I used my Remington 870 with iron sights. Every subsequent year I used my Remington 710 30-06. Great gun. I wish that I had the extra cash as I would like to buy a 308.

This one looked wonderful but started a few weeks ago to shrimble and get black leaves. First i thought it didn't get water anough although this seemes to me strange in a cold winter.
Thanks for any help Hans |

This looks like frost damage to me. If it is in a cold exposure situation I would withold water, they can go a very long time without a drink, especially in winter. The damaged leaves will continue to dry up and could be removed without hurting the plants health. Can you move it to a warmer area or cover it when the temps dip below 40F? This is not a cold hardy Agave. It is a zone 9 to 11 plant. This could help it from happening again. These guys are generally hard to kill but sometimes easy to beat up. Hope this helps, |
Hi, Thanks for the advice. Best regards, Hans Sorry for the misunderstanding. Greetings, Hans |
If it is an Oxaca native, it should be used to more warmth. According to the site below the minimum is 5 degrees C, and it sounds like your temp is too low. I assume you are giving your temp in centigrade. Do you have a dehumidifier? That might help. You might want to watch the lower leaves for rot progression to the stem. If that occurs, it can kill the plant. You also need to make sure you have the right soil mix. http://www.aridhouse.btinternet.co.uk/aridhouse/agaves/agave_macrocantha.html |

The Salute 2014 Commemorative Poster Artist-
Lisa Figueroa
Lisa Figueroa lives in the Shuswap and spends great amounts of time photographing and painting the beauty she sees around her. The Sockeye Salmon of the Adams River have fascinated her for many years and have become a cornerstone of her artistic practice. Lisa has built an installation piece "Death Roe" which can be seen in full at the Vernon Public Art Gallery from October 16 – November 13, 2014 or viewed on YouTube (Death Roe by Lisa Figueroa). The Salute to the Sockeye poster features one of the paintings from the installation, "Firenesters Spawning", "looking at the salmon through the water the fish break up into "flames" of oranges, reds and pink tones as the water fractures and refracts light on and around the sockeye, it becomes an elemental dance of procreation". The Salute to the Salmon poster and other artwork by Lisa are available through the "Artisan Market" store at the Salute celebration in Roderick Haig-Brown Park.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to step into a dispute about whether the government, in a tax- evasion probe, can make a former UBS AG (UBSN) client turn over records about Swiss bank accounts without violating his constitutional right against self-incrimination.
The justices rejected an appeal by a man, identified by the initials M.H., who was held in contempt of court for refusing to comply with a grand jury subpoena seeking records that foreign- account holders are required to keep under the federal Bank Secrecy Act.
Questions about when the Fifth Amendment's protections against self-incrimination apply to demands for banking or tax records could affect the government's attempt to crack down on the use of secret foreign accounts to hide money from U.S. tax liability.
M.H. was among about 250 taxpayers whose secret accounts were disclosed by UBS as part of a February 2009 agreement in which Switzerland's largest bank agreed to pay $780 million to avoid U.S. prosecution on a charge that it helped Americans evade taxes. In 2010, UBS provided the U.S. with almost 4,500 additional names, M.H.'s appeal said.
M.H. "is a non-citizen permanent resident of the United States and the target of a grand jury investigation seeking to determine whether he used secret Swiss bank accounts to evade his federal income taxes," the Justice Department said in a court brief.
Failing to Report
M.H. said the grand jury's demand violated his Fifth Amendment rights because -- even leaving aside potential tax- evasion questions -- he could face felony charges for failing to report some accounts or to keep all records required by the bank secrecy law.
"If the act of producing documents is incriminating, it is no less incriminating because the records were required to be kept," M.H.'s appeal argued. "Across the country, the government is using grand jury subpoenas to require individuals to either produce incriminating foreign bank records or admit to the felony of not maintaining the records."
If account holders can be required to produce the records, M.H. argued, authorities shouldn't be allowed to use incriminating information to prosecute them.
Because having foreign bank accounts isn't illegal, it's not self-incriminating to require people to keep account records and provide them to tax authorities, the Justice Department said in opposing M.H.'s appeal.
Voluntary Participation
"The Fifth Amendment privilege does not extend to records required to be kept as a result of an individual's voluntary participation in a regulated activity," the Justice Department brief said. "His decision to hold foreign bank accounts is voluntary and subject to regulatory requirements."
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had upheld the government's right to demand the records.
The Justice Department said the high court should also reject the appeal because, in this case, M.H. has already turned over information sought in the subpoena to avoid jail for contempt of court. That makes the issue moot, at least unless prosecutors use the information to charge M.H. with a crime, the government said.
The case is M.H. v. U.S., 11-1026.

Party Dining Table Base 1
Price: $1,449.00Overview
Design by Studio Sovet, 1988.
Made in Italy by Sovet Italia.
The Party Dining Table Base 1 is a modern and innovative take on the traditional table base. Instead of four table legs, this glass dining table features two glass base structures, each bent into a 20" diameter C-shape. Position the bases inward for a circular composition, or outward to create an opposing concave design. Depending on the size of your glass table top selection, place the bases in the center or at each end for maximum support. For a striking and eye-catching modern dining table, mix-and-match different or like colored glass tops and bases. Or for the modern minimalist, pair a clear top and base to create a transparent dining table that exudes simplicity and lightness.
Bases and tops are sold separately.
Clear and Extralight glass are distinguishable by the glass edge color. Traditional clear features a green tinted edge. Extralight glass is more transparent than traditional clear glass and features a clear blue tinted edge.
Material(s): Glass
Dimensions: 19.7" Dia X 28.3" H
Manufacturer: Sovet Italia
Sovet Italia: Leaders in Shaped Glass Contemporary Furniture
Sovet Italia was founded at the end of the 1980's when glass gained incredible traction as a viable material in the furniture market. At the time, innovative glass processing techniques began to pave the way for unique artistic expression in the material. Groundbreaking and functional furniture designs were made possible with a partnership of traditional glass shaping techniques and advanced technologies, allowing for durable glass furniture that was no longer constrained to limited use within traditional design.
A decade later, Sovet Italia confirmed itself as a leader in shaped contemporary glass furniture, having developed a full range of products that stood out for their originality of form, color and finishes. During the years to follow, the company tested new solutions for the use of bent glass and refined its own project culture. And in 2003, Sovet partnered with Altherr Lievore Molina's studio to develop its Divetro Collection: a true turning point for the company. The collection represents an ambitious research project with strong contents of formal and technologic innovation, marked by the chic minimalism of Altherr Lievore Molinas studio.
Today, Sovet Italia continues to expand its offering beyond its origins in glass in order to satisfy the requirements of a broader, more demanding market. The company continues to advance its innovative techniques and designs with renowned designers around the world, constantly pushing the boundaries of glass form in the furniture industry.

Existing Home Market Keeps Getting Healthier
Jonathan Smoke / Metrostudy / May 22, 2014
With all of the misdirected hand-wringing over the alleged stalling of the housing rebound in 2014, you would have thought that economists and analysts would have expected another slight decline in existing home sales to be reported by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) this morning. But, instead they were expecting a 2 percent increase to an annualized rate of 4.69 million from the 4.59 million initially reported in March. The actual report from NAR set the initial April reading at 4.65 million, an increase of 1.3 percent from the unrevised March rate of 4.59 million.

Jonathan Smoke / Hanley Wood / March 20, 2014
Economists were expecting another slight decline in existing home sales in February. The report this morning from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) set the initial February reading at 4.60 million, a decline of 0.4 percent. No one should fear this as a harbinger of housing deteriorating—it's actually a reflection of the existing home market getting better.
But better is not necessarily bigger. Better is a result of having more of what we want to see and less of what we don't want to see. While the overall volume is declining slightly, we are seeing that outcome as a result

People are very casual about telling others to just use a condom and sex will be safe. But a recent study done at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex Gender, and Reproduction showed that many people have problems with using a condom correctly.
The most common problems reported were:
- Starting too late – Many people think they can just fool around a little bit before they ejaculate and all will be well. WRONG – it may be too late! As soon as a male begins to become erect, he may release a slight bit of fluid from the Cowper's gland (you may know it as "pre-cum"). Pre-ejaculate may contain sperm and will definitely contain sexually transmitted infections. Additionally, if his partner has a STI, their body fluids will be pushed into the unprotected urethra. The Kinsey report found between 17 and 51% of respondents put on the condom partway through intercourse.
- Taking the condom off too soon – Once a male has ejaculated, the penis may remain "functional" for a bit. Don't be tempted! Ejaculate may continue to drip for some time. The same study stated between 13 and 44.7% reported early removal.
- Flipping the condom – Sex often occurs in obscured lighting or while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or lust. Even under the best of circumstances, a condom can be attempted to be unrolled when it is actually flipped inside out. If this happens, throw it away! Pre-ejaculate may be on the wrong side of the condom and pushed inside a partner's body. Between 4% and 30.4% flipped the condom.
- Where has it been and how long has it been there? – Wallets, glove compartments, window sills, freezers are all potentially damaging places to store a condom. They can be too hot, too cold, or squished from too much pressure by sitting on them. If a condom is about to expire, you need to think, "Where has it been for the last 3 years, 11 months?" Check for a pocket of air and that it still is slippery from lubricant. 74.5% of men and 82.7% of women failed to check a condom for damage before use!
- Pinch the tip – Males ejaculate about ½ to 1 teaspoon of semen at a rate of 15 to 26 MPH. It's got to have someplace to go! If you don't pinch the tip of the condom while you roll it down, there is no space for the ejaculate and it's more likely to break. Between 25.3% and 45.7% of respondents did not pinch the tip.
- Unroll the condom on the penis – Up to 25% of participants in the survey completely unrolled the condom before putting it on rather than unrolling it on the penis. All that tugging could cause tearing.
Who would think that using a condom could be so complicated! Here's a good video on how to correctly use a condom. (And remember – don't flush them!)

"THIS IS AMAZING. I signed up JUST to review this. My dog was absolutely ridden with fleas, and I didn't even know it until I used this concoction. I used a biodegradeable, natural, dye-free dish soap. I began by getting him wet, then starting at his head and working the suds down to his rump. I was shocked to look beneath him and see tons of fleas trying to scurry away from the soap. Soon enough, the scurrying stopped and they were DEAD. As I was rinsing him off and thought I had gotten all the fleas, I noticed a bunch more between his legs... exactly where I hadn't gotten any of the soap. So I applied more and sure enough, they died quickly. It took about 30-40 minutes total because there were SO many fleas and my dog has a thick, long coat (golden retriever mix). After rinsing him, I went through his hair with a nit comb and found a few live fleas, but most were dead. I am going to give him the same treatment in a few days to kill off any remaining fleas. I'm not sure HOW this works, but it does. I would like to know what it does to the eggs, if anything. That is my only concern. I don't want more fleas in a couple days! To be on the safe side, I'm going to spray him with a flea spray, and I expect that to take care of the problem 100%. So glad I found this!!!"
"An economical alternative to those price flee dip shampoos. As the owner of a long haired white dog can tell you some time commercial shampoos do not work in well or worse are hard to rinse out, but this worked in like a dream and rinsed out easier and better than any commercial dog shampoo I have ever used. Best yet is made with things I always have on hand. Thanks so very much for the post. As the dog did not even mined this one we will be making and using again."
"My God! It's working wonders! I signed up just to give this a review, as moments ago I finished washing my pup with this recipe. IT'S WORKING! IT'S WORKING! This morning I woke up to seeing my dog scratch profusely and when I examined his underside I saw the ticks moving! I was so horrified and upset that I bathed him and then ran to the nearest pet store for items and I've been cleaning away ever since! I felt as though things would eventually work, but it wasn't working fast enough for me. I searched for flea killing shampoos and this was the most dog-friendly that I could find. I used Braggs Apple Cider vinegar and followed the recipe. Sure enough, after massaging and brushing and rinsing him off I saw the little bstrds... DEAD in the water! And even after I took him out and dried him MORE were coming off, and every time he shook MORE came off of him. I'm so happy that I could cry! Now he's just relaxing and I'm so grateful to you for this easy, thrifty solution!"
"IT WORKED! I have 2 mini Doxies(1 L/H, 1 S/H). I applied the shampoo & massaged for 5 mins(atleast). They thoroughly enjoyed that part & rinsed real good. Not a live flea to be found! It not only killed their fleas, made them soft & smelling good. But my s/h has such a prob w grass allergies that it calms down his itchy rash that he gets on his Doxie chest & groin area!(who knew!) Have used this 2x so far. Happy & have a batch made for next time. BRAVO!"
"I haven't used the vinegar but I can attest that Dawn ABSOLUTELY DOES KILL FLEAS :). I saw that tip on pinterest and it worked like a charm. I assume the vinegar is what makes em fluffy because it strips the oils. So if your dog/cat has a smooth or short coat skipping the vinegar should matter much. But be sure to treat your home, pet bedding and yard so that they aren't getting a free ride every time they go out.... It'd defeat the purpose."
"I have been at wit's end with fleas on the dogs this year. I have been treating them with frontline with not a lot of success. I bathed the dogs in this mixture and the fleas came off in droves. They have not been scratching themselves half to death and waking me up with all the scratching."
"Wow, this was amazing! I did not use Dawn as all I had was Meyer's Clean Day dish soap, but I added the rest of the ingredients and it worked! I was watching a friends dog for the weekend and noticed to my horror tons of big brown fleas moving around her coat. After about a minute of rubbing the shampoo in, all of the fleas died and started lifting from her skin. Disgusting but amazing to see! I'm so glad I didn't have to go spend a bunch of money on nasty chemicals! Thank you for this recipe:)"
"When I saw this on Pinterest, I clicked on it, because my dog had fleas. Did I think it would work? Nope. I thought I would do it, put it on my dog, and nothing. So, I looked on another site, and there it was. So, I tried it. I didn't use White vinegar, because the other site said it wouldn't work as well as apple cider vinegar. I wish I would have used white, it stuck so bad. I washed my dog with his shampoo, and still had to spray perfume on him. Anyways, as I was about to put it on, a flea decided to appear, so I quickly poured it. It jumped off, but quickly died. My only complaint is that my dogs fur is so thick, they just died and stayed on him, so I had to pick them off.
All in all, this actually works. It stinks really bad, but if you can't make it to the vet or can't afford to pay, this is for you! I didn't have time to go, but had to do something. Next time, I will use white, if I have to use it. Also, my dog's coat is very shiny and soft. His white part actually shines."
"And also, to the ones who said this does NOT work? Your fibbing!!!!!! I don't care how infested your baby is, this WILL work!! Unless you just poured it on and then rinsed right after. You have too rub it into the coat, down to the skin and let it sit for at least 5 minutes. This allows time to drown/kill the fleas. Some people are just negative because they can be. Dunno, I'm just baffled I guess."
"Everyone it is dawn dish soap that kills fleas not the vinegar!!! just wash n the dawn! our local shelters beg for donations of dawn dish detergent."
"I used this shampoo on my pups this past weekend and it worked like a charm. The key to this is leaving it on them for a minimum of 5 minutes. I spoke with my vet about this and she said that the dawn will smother the fleas and she recommended it if you do not want to use the chemicals or give them the pills. One of my pups had a terrible reaction to the pills and I refuse to use them. So glad to have found this recipe. Also makes them very soft and fluffy!"
"Seriously...this is amazing! after 3 rounds of a flea treatment I got brave and decided to throw my cat in the tub! it was worth the scratches to see all of the fleas just rise to the surface of his coat and stop moving! fantastic treatment and so cost effective!"
"This works really well! Ticks dont seem to like this soap either."
"I followed the recipe as written and this made Sugar nice and shiney but it just worked OK on the fleas.. I loved that this called for items I had on hand as her flea dip is getting expensive."
"IT WORKS!! IT REALLY WORKS!!
This is the best ever! my dogs are going crazy scratching themselves and the flea shampoo from the store did not work! This stuff did the trick. Thanks for posting this shampoo recipe."
"I came across this and I had to write a review. I did not use the vinegar, just the soap. I've tried numerous flea medications, collars, ect and nothing was killing the fleas. I read about this and immediate threw her in the tub to try it out. I applied a liberal amount of soap and sat there rubbing it in for 10-15 minutes making sure I got every spot. As I was rubbing it in, I could see the dead fleas coming to the surface of her fur. I rinsed it off and now she seems to have relief from the itching and the only fleas I see are dead. Definitely worked!!"
"1) This is not a natural shampoo i it's made with Dawn
2) You don't have to use the vinegar, just washing with dish soap alone will kill fleas"
"Wow....I also signed up just to write this review!.. I have a 3 lb Chihuahua and have trouble finding supplies that are not too harsh for her. This flea removal shampoo worked great!. she had 4 fleas on her which must have felt like a million to the poor little thing, I only had one come off in the bath but 3 more with the comb and all were dead. A bonus is that her little wiry hair even feels kind of soft. :) Happy Us."
"This works, but keep in mind you have to scrub the soap into the fur very thoroughly and make sure it sits on the coat for quite awhile to smother the fleas. The vinegar keeps them from sticking to the coat. Adding some salt or baking soda will also help to spread the solution and get the dog cleaner in the long one. We use this on our dog and it works better than the flea shampoo we have. You still need to make sure you flea proof your house too or they will come back in a few days and it won't kill the eggs so you will need to repeat every 3 or 4 days for 2 weeks. Make sure you treat all animals in the house for best effect."
"Absolutely brilliant have tried everything had the house sprayed spent a fortune on products !! This totally works :-)))"

In Japan, new policy spurs solar power boom
Across Japan, technology firms and private investors are racing to install devices that until recently they had little interest in: solar panels.

Our opinion: Green in Massachusetts
Massachusetts' second-in-the-nation ranking in clean technology is a tribute to the green energy policies the state has implemented and encouraged over the last several years. As environmental concerns grow along with the perils of global warming, those policies will pay greater dividends -- as long as the state doesn't stray from that path.
