Findings from the National Faculty Study
(Page 1 of 1)
Leica Microsystems received FDA approval for its fully automated Leica Bond Oracle Her2 IHC assay used with the Leica Bond-Max™ instrumentation. The semiquantiative immunohistochemical test is designed to determine Her2 status in breast cancer on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples.
In trials the Leica Bond Oracle Her2 IHC test achieved 2x2 concordance of 87.6% and a positive agreement of 93.8% with the Abbott Molecular PathVysion Her2 DNA Probe kit, which is the current gold-standard for assessing Her2 status, Leica says. "The Leica Bond Oracle Her2 HIC system is validated as a fully automated Her2 IHC test, and delivers the diagnostic confidence that comes with proven Her2 FISH concordance," states Arnd Kaldowski, Leica's president. "With the Oracle system, laboratories also obtain the speed and efficiencies of the Leica Bond-Max instrumentation, delivering more effective workflow management."

Nico de Boinville and Whisper just saw off Tony McCoy on Get Me Out Of Here in a thrilling race for the Coral Cup at Cheltenham.
There was nothing between them up the hill, but it was Whisper (14-1), trained by Nicky Henderson and owned by Dai Walters, who prevailed by a short head.
Bayan was two and a quarter lengths away in third, with Smashing fourth.
The pace was set by Son Of Flicka, the winner in 2012, and Clondaw Kaempfer, as 28 horses set off for the highly-competitive handicap hurdle.
As to be expected there were many in with chances coming to the final flight, and it was De Boinville, a 5lb clamer noted for his riding of Sprinter Sacre in his work, who had Whisper in the right position to deny Get Me Out Of Here, who has now finished second at four Festivals.
De Boinville, who was riding his first Festival winner, said: "You can never be too sure (in photo-finishes) but I'm over the moon.
"I got a lovely position and he kept going all the way."
Henderson felt De Boinville's 5lb claim proved crucial.
He said: "When you've got a very good claimer, then it's obvious to try and use him.
"We stopped him (De Boinville) riding for a week because I needed his 5lb claim this week.
"It looked like Whisper had too much weight. I didn't think he could win off top weight, but he has.
"He deserves it, because he was beaten a nose in the Welsh Champion Hurdle.
"That was really annoying as he also went up 6lb for finishing second.
"If he'd been beaten a nose here then I would have really cried."
Walters said: "That's my first Festival winner and I'm lost for words - I'm over the moon."
Jonjo O'Neill was again left to reflect on what could have been after Get Me Out Of Here just failed under McCoy.
He said: "That's the fourth time he's been second here, he's a smashing horse.
"We thought everything was right for him - the ground, the trip and the sun had come out. I don't think he ever really got there."

American Eagle Outfitters Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results
American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (NYSE:AEO) today reported earnings of $0.10 per diluted share for the second quarter ended August 3, 2013, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $0.21 per diluted share in the comparable quarter last year.
Robert Hanson, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our second quarter results reflected disappointing product execution in women's. Additionally, we faced a highly promotional and competitive retail landscape and a decline in traffic, which have continued into the third quarter. We are working hard to strengthen our assortments, marketing efforts and overall execution, while maintaining tight inventories and disciplined expense management. Although extremely disappointed with our results, I'm confident in the strength of our brands, our strategic initiatives including, factory stores, aerie, omni-channel and international, as well as the team's resolve to regain momentum and improve our bottom line performance."
Second Quarter 2013 Non-GAAP ResultsThe following discussion is based on Non-GAAP results for the comparable quarter last year, as presented in the accompanying GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.
- Total net revenue decreased 2% to $727 million, compared to $740 million last year.
- Consolidated comparable sales, including AEO Direct, decreased 7%, compared to an 8% increase last year. Second quarter 2013 comparable sales are compared to the 13 weeks ended August 4, 2012.
- Gross profit decreased 11% to $245 million and, as a rate to revenue, decreased 360 basis points to 33.8%. The decline is primarily the result of higher markdowns and the deleverage of rent on negative comps.
- Selling, general and administrative expense of $186 million increased 5% from last year and deleveraged 160 basis points to 25.6% as a rate to revenue.
- Operating income decreased 56% to $29 million, resulting in a rate of 4.1% compared to 9.1% last year.
- EPS of $0.10 compared to adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.21 last year, a 52% decrease.
InventoryTotal merchandise inventory at the end of the second quarter declined slightly to $461 million compared to $462 million last year. At cost per foot, inventory decreased 1%.
Capital ExpendituresIn the second quarter, capital expenditures totaled $78 million. Due to the retiming of projects, the company now expects capital expenditures of $230 to $250 million for fiscal 2013. This compares to previous expectations of $250 to $280 million. The capital spending plan includes new store growth, remodels, a new distribution center to support omni-channel growth and the implementation of new and upgraded technology. Real EstateIn the second quarter, total square footage increased 1% from last year. The company opened 26 new stores, including 18 factory stores, and closed 7 locations, including 6 aerie stores. As a result of the terminated licensed agreement previously announced, the company assumed operation of 6 existing stores in Hong Kong and China. Additionally, the company had 57 international franchise locations in 12 countries. For additional second quarter 2013 actual and fiscal 2013 projected real estate information, see the accompanying table. Cash and InvestmentsThe company ended the quarter with total cash and short-term investments of $405 million compared to $702 million last year. The reduction in cash reflects share repurchases of $33 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $174 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. In addition to regular quarterly dividends, the company paid a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share in the third quarter of 2012 for $296 million. Third Quarter OutlookManagement is issuing third quarter EPS guidance of $0.14 to $0.16 per diluted share, based on a mid- to high-single digit decline in comparable sales. This compares to EPS from continuing operations of $0.41 last year. Conference Call and Supplemental Financial InformationToday, management will host a conference call and real time webcast at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To listen to the call, dial 1-877-407-0789 or internationally dial 1-201-689-8562 or go to www.ae.com to access the webcast and audio replay. Also, a financial results presentation is posted on the company's website. Non-GAAP MeasuresThis press release includes information on non-GAAP financial measures ("non-GAAP" or "adjusted"), including earnings per share information and the consolidated results of operations excluding non-GAAP items. These financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The company believes that this non-GAAP information is useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the company's operating performance, when reviewed in conjunction with the company's GAAP financial statements. These amounts are not determined in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be used exclusively in evaluating the company's business and operations. * * * *Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

With the price of diesel more than doubling in less than two years, farmers are feeling the fuel-cost pinch. And forage producers may be squeezed the hardest.
"Considering what goes into seedbed preparation and the fact that harvesting requires several trips across the field for each cutting, forage production is a fuel-intensive business," says Oklahoma State University extension economist Clem Ward.
Soaring fuel costs are bound to carry serious consequences for an industry with such a narrow profit margin, Ward adds.
But before you panic and buy a draft horse, Ward recommends proceeding with caution.
"Some fuel-conserving strategies will work in one application but not in another," he says. "Don't make major decisions until all implications are considered."
Any attempt to save fuel should be tempered with practicality, says Ward. For a hay grower whose operation doesn't justify buying new equipment, or a rancher who sells small bales to the hobby-farm trade, staying with older, less fuel-efficient technology makes sense.
This also applies to other fuel reduction strategies, says Ward. A Penn State University study shows that an alfalfa grower can reduce tractor fuel consumption by as much as 5 gallons/acre by replacing conventional seedbed preparation with no-till.
Ward also notes that stand establishment and weed control are two important factors in the production of quality alfalfa.
"If either of those are compromised in a no-till environment, then your fuel savings might end up being an added cost."
The best way to find what fuel-saving strategy will work for you is to formulate a plan that includes market and production considerations. The first step is to determine how much fuel you're using and what you're using it on.
Online bulletins on how to estimate annual fuel costs are available from Colorado State University (www.colostate.edu, click on Cooperative Extension, then Farm Management, then Equipment) and Iowa State University (www.ae.iastate.edu/pm-709.htm). For a printed copy, contact their extension offices. Once you know your major fuel expenditures, examine the feasibility of reducing them.
Here are a few fuel-saving options for you to consider:
Buy smart. Fuel prices are cyclical, so consider forward contracting or increasing your on-farm storage when prices drop. As they rise again, reduce your long-term purchases, buying just enough to keep operating.
When possible, move to production systems that require less fuel. A shift from annual to perennial forages avoids annual tillage — a major user of fuel. Growing legumes may let you reduce fertilizer passes, and pasturing instead of cutting shifts the fuel burden from horsepower to hoof power.
For farmers growing feeder hay, Ward recommends stretching out the periods between cuttings.
"This way you can save yourself one cutting per season without giving up yield," he says. But you'll give up some quality as a tradeoff, he adds.
Pay close attention to equipment maintenance, says Lloyd Morrison, a Eureka, NV, grower.
"This means basic stuff like keeping your filters clean and flushing your radiator when you need to," says Morrison. "Anything that helps your engines run more efficiently will improve your fuel consumption."
Match your tractor to your load, says Leonard Bashford of the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory. When a larger tractor is used to haul a lighter load, shift the transmission into a higher gear and reduce rpms by throttling back. The tractor should still be able to pull the load, and fuel efficiency will improve dramatically, says Ward.
Watch your tires. Properly ballasted tires play an important role in any on-farm fuel strategy, says Bashford. They should slip 8-12% when pulling a load on firm surfaces and 10-16% on soft ground. Too much ballast impairs fuel economy as much as having too little.
"When you're too heavy, you pay a big penalty in motion resistance," he says. "The penalty is a lot more for being overweight than underweight."
Test Tractor Tire Traction
When starting tillage operations, make sure your tires are properly ballasted for the job, advises Leonard Bashford of the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory.
To check slippage in the field, mark a drive tire, place a flag where it makes contact with the soil, then pull a tillage load — implement in the ground — 10 wheel revolutions before placing another flag. Measure the distance and repeat the process without the load.
"Then you can see how many wheel revolutions it takes to transverse the same distance without a tillage load," says Bashford.
Subtract loaded distance from unloaded distance, then multiply by 10 to get the percentage of slip. For example, if the difference between loaded and unloaded distances is 1.5', slip is 15%.
Consult your operator's manual for proper tire inflation.

Vaccinations Aren't Just For Kids, Loyola Expert Says

Vaccinations Aren't Just For Kids, Loyola Expert Says
MAYWOOD, Ill. A new school year means more than new clothes, new books and a new grade level it also means new shots for millions of public school children.
Many parents get in the rhythm of having their child vaccinated every few months as infants and even annually as a family for the flu, said Dr. Jorge Parada, director of infection prevention and control at Loyola University Health System. Getting regular shots for preventive medicine is a good life lesson to learn, right along with the alphabet and arithmetic.
Primary-care physicians receive updated immunization charts each year. Many also have the required documentation forms needed to provide with schools. Public schools are usually required to receive documentation on required vaccinations for each child no later than one month after school starts.
Grade School Basics
Parents need to remember that almost every one of the required or recommended vaccines comes as a series of shots, to assure that the child builds sufficient immunity to the various infections. Even the first seasons flu shot for a child less than 9 years old requires two doses, and then a single yearly dose, said Dr. Andrew Bonwit, who specializes in pediatric infectious diseases at Loyola. Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and varicella are all available as a series. If a child falls behind the standard schedule, his or her pediatrician can plan a catch-up schedule based on standard recommendations, Bonwit said.
College Students
The flu, meningitis and HPV are important vaccinations for college-age adults, Parada said. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is recommended for women and men, ages 26 or younger, to prevent genital warts and cancer. Awareness has been raised for HPV for women, but it is important to know that there is one brand that can be given to men, he said. HPV vaccine is given in three doses over six months.
For Adults
The school calendar can also be a good time for all adults to annually safeguard their health. Flu shots are available as early as Sept. 1, making it a good time to check the charts at your physicians office, Parada said. If you smoke, a pneumonia vaccination is recommended and your physician can advise you on shots based on your health, age and lifestyle.
Financial Coverage
Insurance coverage of recommended vaccinations varies by provider and plan.
Subsidized or even free vaccinations are available for those who qualify, so there is no financial reason to not get vaccines, Parada said. Students may legally opt out of vaccinations if they are allergic, or for religious reasons.
Final Thought
We see some potentially severe, vaccine-preventable illnesses every year, such as whooping cough (pertussis), Bonwit said. Vaccinations protect children from potentially dangerous illnesses and can keep them from needing to be hospitalized.
Vaccines serve two purposes, Parada said. First, they help to keep you protected from catching an illness; and second, they help prevent the illness. Remember that something you dont have, you cant pass along to another, Parada said. So, be smart, be safe, be vaccinated.
For those confused about which vaccinations to get and when, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention offers easy-to-understand charts by age on their Web site at cdc.gov/vaccines

Fluffy towels are especially nice when you get out of the shower or bath. Here's how to get them!
1When you launder your towels, add some fabric softener. It'll soften the towels and make them feel nicer. You also could get a scented one, so your towels will not only be fluffy, they'll be fragranced too!
2Try to dry your towels in a tumble-dryer. It loosens the fabric particles and adds volume to the material. If you don't posses a tumble dryer, get a laundry rack and hang a few towels at a time onto it. Make sure it's in a well heated room. If you dry your towels outside, especially in winter, they can become stiff and rigid over time.
3Make sure you hang your towel up to dry as soon as you've finished using it. It's best to dry towels with aided heat, such as a heated towel rail or a radiator.

Celebrating the Tenure of Dean Logan
After eleven years as Dean, Dean David Logan is going to be stepping down as Dean of Roger Williams University School of Law and returning to teaching full time at the Law School. On Thursday, May 15, 2014, the School of Law took a moment to honor Dean Logan's service as Dean in a ceremony renaming the main conference room on the second floor in his honor. I had the chance to attend the ceremony and wanted to share some of the photos from the event.
Dean Logan was joined by his family, friends, colleagues, distinguished members of the Bench and Bar, faculty, staff and students in the second floor atrium of the Law School for the brief ceremony. The speakers included Roger Williams University President Donald Farish; First Circuit Court of Appeals Judge the Honorable Bruce Selya, Linn Foster Freedman, Jason Van Volkenburgh, and Dean-Designate Michael Yelnosky. Each speaker honored Dean Logan's tenure as Dean and gave the crowd an insight into the lasting legacy that Dean Logan will leave for the law school. Dean Logan then spoke briefly and thanked everyone, especially his wife and sons, for their support during his term as Dean. The ribbon was cut and the room was dedicated.
It was a very nice event and the conference room includes several momentos from Dean Logan's collection including a picture of Thurgood Marshall, a large clock and a display case where some (but not all) of Dean Logan's Bobble-Head Collection can be seen.
The good news is that Dean Logan won't be going far and will be returning to full time professorship in the fall, teaching both sections of Torts for the 1L Class. Dean Logan will remain Dean unitl July 1, 2014 when Dean Yelnosky will assume title and responsibilities.
After haivng Dean Logan as a professor for two semesters of Torts, I was happy to be in attendance at the ceremony. There were a number of his former students there (picture below) and it was evident that his time at the helm of the law school has made a lasting impression on the institution and his students.
I look forward to continuing to see him around the halls throughout my remaining two years at Roger Williams University School of Law.
The Dedication Speakers: President Farish, Jason Van Volkenburgh, The Honorable Bruce Selya, Dean Logan,
Linn Foster Freedman, Dean-Designate Yelnosky
Dean Logan's Family: Wife Jeanne, Brother Wayne, Sons Ben and Daniel

BROOKVILLE — Saturday night's match-up against Elk County Catholic (12-9, 6-3 D-IX League) was a big test for the Raiders heading into the final week of the regular season.
Brookville (16-4, 6-3 D-IX League) stormed out to an early lead, but the Crusaders turned the tables and pushed the game to overtime.
But only one shot mattered — the game-winning shot by Elk County's Brock McCullough with seven seconds remaining in overtime for the 34-32 victory over Brookville.
WALSTON — Recently, the Young Township Board of Supervisors discussed what to do about replacing 12-year-old grinder pumps throughout the township that continue to break down.
Chairman Andrew Meterko said there is a grinder pump that goes down every time there's a function at one of the churches in the township. The sewer department/township is obligated to repair or replace the grinder pump due to an incentive to encourage residents to sign up for sewage in the township.
He said the reason that many of the pumps burn up is because people throw prohibited items into the sewage system.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Talk about irony at its best.
This year's most popular souvenir item — a T-shirt depicting a snow-covered Punxsy Phil, with the advice to "Chill Out" — is a little ironic considering the mild winter weather tourists experienced Feb. 1 and Groundhog Day.
"The nicest thing about this year was no rain, no snow, no ice," Punxsutawney Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Marlene Lellock said. "That is one of the best things about Groundhog Day 2012."
(The Spirit is pleased to share with our readers vignettes of life in the 19th century as originally reported in past issues of the newspapers. These reproduced stories include their original headlines and spelling.)

Dog "E" Daycare in giving spirit with two area fundraisersBy: Allison Chorney | Posted: Thursday, Dec 12, 2013 10:33 am Airdrie�s Dog �E� Daycare is in the giving spirit by supporting two area charities. The Wild Rose Humane Society (WRHS) will once again be hosting the Pet Pics with Santa event, with all proceeds going towards the group�s Give Me Shelter campaign. This year, the event will take place on Dec. 15 at Dog �E� Daycare, located at #2, 69 East Lake Cres. Funds will help the WRHS build or lease a building to use as an animal shelter, say officials. Mayanne Campbell, fundraising director for the WRHS, said this is the fifth year the society has held the event, and added it�s a great way to get some unique photos of pets while supporting a good cause. �Usually it�s a very well-received (event),� said Campbell. �Every time that we�ve done it, all the appointments have been booked and we usually have quite a few walk-ins as well.� She added she is trying to push fundraising this year in order to make the home for the society a reality. One of the reasons she feels strongly about it, is because her neighbours recently found a dog frozen under their patio. �And there�s no reason for it. We desperately need that shelter,� she added. Rather than residents phoning bylaw services every time they find a stray, she wants to help create a place where people can bring animals, where they will be taken care of and adopted from, she said. �We want to be able to work with bylaw so that if somebody does find an animal bylaw doesn�t have to do find a place for them.� The event will be held in Airdrie from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15 at Dog �E� Daycare. Bailey Sharpe, co-owner and operator of Dog �E� Daycare, said it is important for the business to support local rescue and has raised funds for WRHS in past events at the daycare. The cost for photos, which are printed on site and given to participants that same day, will be $10. �It�s going to be a really cool theme,� Sharpe said, adding the daycare will be channeling Dr. Seuss� Whoville the day of the photos and will have a brightly coloured background to make photos pop. Dog �E� Daycare, which provides homes for the four-legged family members while the rest of the family is staying at Ronald McDonald House Southern Alberta, through it�s Dog �E� Loyalty program, is also raising funds to support the House�s Magic Room. Ronald McDonald House is a place for families to stay while their child is receiving medical attention in a Calgary hospital and provides a home-like atmosphere that allows entire families to keep living their lives as normally as possible during their medical crisis, according to the organization�s website. The Magic Room offers kids a chance to escape the daily routine of doctors and treatments in the hospital when they arrive at the house or reach a milestone. The Magic Room and the excitement within it are kept a secret but each child leaves with a smile and a new toy. �We would like monetary donations because the Magic Room is already so full of items for children age three to 11 because they are so easy to buy for,� Sharpe said, adding the money will be used to buy gifts for age groups outside the three to 11 range. She said in particular they will be purchasing for teenagers, new moms and parents staying at the house during the holiday season. �A lot of new moms don�t have the supplies they need,� Sharpe said of the formula, diapers, bottles and other baby items they will be purchasing. All donations more than $20 will receive a tax receipt from Ronald McDonald House Southern Alberta. For more information, visit www.dogedaycare.net Comments

ST. MARYS - "Large or small, we want 'em all." That's the theme of this year's 7th Annual Big Buck Contest, which promises to be better than ever with a new scoring system for bucks and a contest for readers of The Daily Press, The Ridgway Record and The Kane Republican every week. Darlene Coder, publisher of the three newspapers, explained several changes to this year's contest that she said would benefit both hunters and readers.
The Elk County Conservation District held its regular meeting Monday night to discuss the progress of the Elk County Monitoring Project. Watershed specialist Kim Bonfardine announced that data loggers have been deployed and have recorded two weeks' worth of baseline data in the Big Mill Creek and Bear Creek watersheds. Bonfardine plans to have all 12 data loggers in Elk County streams by October. Project interns have built six housing units for the data loggers.
In celebration of National Dog Week, The Elk County Humane Society is hosting its annual K9 Karnival featuring Walk and Wag Day on Saturday afternoon at Benzinger Park in St. Marys. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., canines of all kinds are invited to participate in the event. Registration begins at 11 a.m., with the walk taking place at noon. "It's just a great, fun day for the whole family, including the four-legged members. All the animals have smiles on their faces," said Veronica Conrad, humane society founder and current board member.
Judi Ann Yonkie, 57, of Keystone Avenue, Sheffield, died on Monday, September 26, 2011 at her residence following a lengthy illness. She was born October 13, 1953, in Kane, the daughter of the late Clifford D. and Evelyn M. Parsons Snyder Sr. She was a 1971 graduate of Sheffield High School. She was most recently a homemaker, although she worked for many years as a sexton at the Bethany Lutheran Church and as a librarian at the Sheffield Township Library. She enjoyed her family and many friends, and especially enjoyed her grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Inner Space by Tobias Tovera
The texture and properties of paint in pieces by Tobias Tovera work together to create a sort of topography of an imaginary plane. These vivid images can viewed as depictions of mood or emotion, an atmosphere built of feelings. Tovera, a San Francisco-based painter, says of his work, "I want my audience to be left with questions and confronted by a raw sense of what it means to be human."

Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.

Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today. Lent by Robert Reinhold and John O'Halloran, the promos in EAM's presentation will be on view in the McCormick House, also designed in the 1950s.

On the Brink: New Work by Nnenna Okore
EAM presents new work by internationally celebrated sculptor Nnenna Okore. Through repetitive, labor-intensive processes, Okore transforms discarded and organic materials like burlap, newspapers, plastic bags and twine into large-scale wall hangings and installations. Okore-s dramatic and undulating forms float in and across space, often casting shadows on their surrounds. Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

Samsung is likely to appeal for zero damages a jury ordered the firm to pay Apple $119 million for copying features of the iPhone.
The South Korean company's lawyer John Quinn reportedly told the media that the company expects the damages to be reduced to zero.
The jury at San Jose district court in California found Samsung guilty of infringing three of Apple's patents on 2 May, awarding the latter $119.6m in damages. The jury met again on Monday, however, to fix an error in its verdict form, but in doing so it declined to award Apple any additional damages.
Apple had sought over $2bn from Samsung for infringing five of its patents. The trial ran for a month before the four-man and four-woman jury announced their verdict on Friday.
Meanwhile, the jury found that Apple had infringed one of Samsung's patents, which was awarded $158,400. Samsung had been contesting that Apple violated two patents of its smartphone features and sought $7m.
This is the second time that Samsung was told to pay damages to Apple. A separate jury in the same court directed Samsung to pay $930m to Apple two years ago. Samsung is appealing the verdict and the case is still on.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - A U.S. Coast Guard heavy icebreaker will leave Australia for Antarctica on Sunday to rescue more than 120 crew members aboard two icebreakers trapped in pack ice near the frozen continent's eastern edge, officials said.
The Coast Guard says the Polar Star is responding to a Jan. 3 request from Australia, Russia and China to assist the Russian and Chinese ships because "there is sufficient concern that the vessels may not be able to free themselves from the ice."
The Russian research ship has been trapped in ice-clogged Commonwealth Bay since Christmas Eve, while the Chinese ship which came to its rescue reported on Friday it too had become stuck nearby.
A day earlier, the Chinese ship's helicopter had retrieved from the Russian ship 52 scientists, journalists and tourists who are now on their way home aboard an Australian icebreaker.
Authorities say the 101 crew aboard the Chinese ship and 22 aboard the Russian ship are well provisioned and in no immediate danger.
The Polar Star is cutting short its planned stop in Sydney, Australia, to assist.

Gabe Fuentes is in for the ride of his life when he becomes Earth's ambassador to the galaxy in this otherworldly adventure from the National Book Award–winning author of Goblin Secrets.
Gabe Fuentes is reading under the covers one summer night when he is interrupted by a creature who looks like a purple sock puppet. The sock puppet introduces himself as the Envoy and asks if Gabe wants to be Earth's ambassador to the galaxy. What sane eleven-year-old could refuse?
Some ingenious tinkering with the washing machine sends Gabe's "entangled" self out to the center of the galaxy. There he finds that Earth is in the path of a destructive alien force—and Gabe himself is the target of an assassination plot. Exactly who wants him out of the way? And why?
It's a murder mystery on the moon in this humorous and suspenseful space adventure from the author of Belly Up and Spy School.
Like his fellow lunarnauts—otherwise known as Moonies—living on Moon Base Alpha, twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is famous the world over for being one of the first humans to live on the moon.
And he's bored out of his mind. Kids aren't allowed on the lunar surface, meaning they're trapped inside the tiny moon base with next to nothing to occupy their time—and the only other kid Dash's age spends all his time hooked into virtual reality games.
Then Moon Base Alpha's top scientist turns up dead. Dash senses there's foul play afoot, but no one believes him. Everyone agrees Dr. Holtz went onto the lunar surface without his helmet properly affixed, simple as that. But Dr. Holtz was on the verge of an important new discovery, Dash finds out, and it's a secret that could change everything for the Moonies—a secret someone just might kill to keep . . .

Her name is Willona the Awesome, and she's here to welcome him to The Incredible Space Raiders.
Now that Jonah is on board, the Incredible Space Raiders can set off on an important mission: to venture into the Dark Zone and save the universe from the Entirely Evil Things. But when Space Raiders start to disappear, Jonah realizes that if he's going to make it to the Dark Zone alive, he's going to have to step up and figure out what's going on.

The Intelligent Community Forum is a think tank that studies the economic and social development of the 21st Century community. School District 8 and Island View School hosted ICF C0-founder Louis Zacharilla and members of the Saint John contingent today at IVS. Louis told reporter April Cunningham of the TJ that "Saint John's reliance on innovation will create a culture of knowledge that lasts long term, which is why it was chosen as one of this year's top seven most intelligent communities."
Our tour this morning began with a brilliant video presentation showcasing the innovation and technology integration at IVS. The video was produced by one of my District 8 Technology Mentors, Phil Sweezey in conjunction with IVS students. We followed this up with a brief Prezi outlining examples of District Innovation and partnerships. The highlight of the tour included classroom visits where Louis interacted with students in classrooms demonstrating student blogging, skyping, and a computer skills boot camp.

NUT-Nutrition Software
If you're watching your weight, monitoring your health and dietary habits, or simply unconvinced by flashy food labels that don't tell the whole story, this is the project for you. According to the Web site:
I have written open-source free nutrition software, NUT, which records what you eat and analyzes your meals for nutrient levels in terms of the "Daily Value", or DV, which is the standard for food labeling in the US. The program uses the free food composition database from the USDA. This free nutritional analysis software was written for UNIX systems (I use Linux), but it can be compiled on just about any system with a C compiler. (To get a free C compiler, Windows people might look at Cygwin or MinGW, and Mac people might look at xcode.) By experimenting with NUT, you can find the optimal level of the various nutrients and how to implement this with foods available to you. NUT can help reconstruct the lost instruction manual to your care and feeding, because, when the authorities and crackpots disagree on the proper human diet, you can design an experiment using the food composition tables to discover the truth!
NUT has an extensive database of food statistics, worth the price of admission alone (console version pictured).
The NUT GUI makes using this program much less tiresome and displays other forms of information simultaneously. Here's the stats for bearded seal oil.
One of the main reasons for using NUT is recording your daily meals and then running detailed analysis against them.
I'm unsure of other distributions, but binaries are available for Debian and Ubuntu. I run with the usual source option here. Grab the latest source tarball, extract it, and open a terminal in the new folder. At the time of this writing, NUT didn't have an install script, so you'll need to do a number of steps manually. Assuming the /usr/local folders are fine for installation, issue the following commands as root:
# mkdir /usr/local/lib/nut/ # mv raw.data/* /usr/local/lib/nut/
If your distro uses sudo (such as Ubuntu), simply prefix those commands with the sudo command.
Once this step is out of the way, compile the program with:
$ make
If the compiling goes well, you should be able to use the console program immediately. Simply enter the command:
$ ./nut
This runs the console program, which I look at in the next session. As for the GUI program, that needs to be compiled separately.
Change into the flkt directory by entering:
$ cd fltk
And again, enter the command:
$ make
John Knight is the New Projects columnist for Linux Journal.
Notes on the installation
The NUT installation simply required a make followed by a sudo make install.
I also encountered a problem compiling Nut. It errored out on the make. I am currently running Fedora 15 and after a yum search fltk, I did:
sudo yum install fltk-devel fltk-static fltk fltk-fluid
I don't think I needed fltk-fluid. At any rate, the Nut make worked without any problems. Afterwards, I did a sudo make install and Nut was able to launch without any problems.
Thanks for writing an excellent review.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Of the 20 equities with the heaviest options volume in recent sessions, three names of notable interest this afternoon are Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB - 30.10), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C - 42.42), and Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC - 11.56). Here is a quick look at today's interesting option activity in these options pits.
Following its big reveal of new search technology yesterday -- which was received with a muted "meh" -- FB is hovering around breakeven. One option that is seeing some newfound attention is the 2/1 25.50-strike put, which has seen more than 2,000 contracts trade, nearly doubling existing open interest at the strike. The large majority of the volume trading on this weekly option has changed hands at the bid price, for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $0.39. This may be the work of speculators selling the puts to open and hoping for one of two potential outcomes. First, FB could stay above the strike price through expiration on Feb. 1, leaving the put to expire worthless. At this point, traders who sold the put keep the initial premium as profit. These put sellers are enjoying a handsome premium today, relatively speaking, given that the implied volatility reading of this put is currently 77.1%, which is notably inflated compared to the stock's one-month historical volatility of 45.9%. Secondly, the investors could be willing to buy FB shares at an effective price of $25.11 apiece (strike price less average credit collected). If FB is trading below the sold strike price when the option expires, the put sellers will likely have to fulfill their obligation to buy the shares at the strike price. The $25.50 mark is a steep 15.3% drop from current levels.
With earnings due ahead of the open tomorrow, C is seeing heavy put trading. Roughly 32,000 contracts have already changed hands, nearly doubling the typical intraday put volume. Among the most active strikes so far is the January 2014 40-strike put, where two large blocks have traded between the bid and the ask price. Implied volatility is virtually unchanged, so the volume (which totals more than 4,000 contracts) is likely a mixture of buying and selling. Also notable is the June 38 put, with nearly 2,700 contacts trading at the ask price for a VWAP of $1.54. If these options are being bought to open, it is a bet that C will drop south of $36.46 (strike minus VWAP) over the next six months by June options expiration. If C has not breached this level in the required time, the most these put buyers have to lose is the premium paid.
BAC is also on deck to report earnings in the morning, but unlike C, call options are the popular choice. In particular, the February 12 call has been active, with nearly 16,000 contracts crossing the tape. The majority of the positions traded at the ask price, and data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE) indicates at least some of these are being purchased to open. With a VWAP of $0.26, the breakeven at expiration for this trade is $12.26 (strike plus VWAP), or 6% above the stock's current price. A move to this level would mark a new annual high for the shares. Delta for this back-month option is 0.36, implying a 36% chance the stock will be north of the strike price by the time options expire at the close on Feb. 15.
The 20 stocks below have attracted the highest options volume -- in the front three-months' series -- during the past 10 trading days. Data is courtesy of Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White.
