'Fast Money' Recap: Can Anyone Like Facebook?
Adami said Zillow has traded well over the past month. However, with a short interest over 50% and a 10% drop on Friday on light volume, he called the stock a "no touch" at current levels.
Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, phoned into the show. He sold his long position in FireEye (FEYE) just below $45, saying, "It's just a bad trade."
Ford (F) dropped 3% following its earnings report. Adami said the stock is cheap in terms of valuation but also called the stock a "no touch" based on its relatively poor price action over the past few months.
Grasso said he is not a buyer of Tesla Motors (TSLA) but investors who are long should use $184 as their stop-loss.
JetBlue Airways (JBLU) fell 5% and was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drops" segment. Adami admitted to being wrong about his bullish call on the stock. Visa V dropped 5%. Grasso said the stock is below all of its major moving averages. He said investors who want to buy the stock should wait for the overall market to stabilize. SunPower (SPWR) jumped 7%. Brown said the stock seems poised to go higher. Hanesbrands (HBI) popped 5%. Najarian said the stock is still cheap. For their final trades, Najarian was a buyer of Dollar General (DG) and Grasso was a buyer of Bank of America (BAC) near $15. Brown was a buyer of the Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (MOO) and Adami was buying Mylan (MYL).-- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

(Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)Alex Rodriguez paid Tony Bosch's attorneys fees, according to an "Outside the Lines" report.Bosch was the founder of the now-closed Biogenesis clinic in Coral Gables, Fla., that distributed performance-enhancing drugs to professional and amateur athletes including Major League Baseball players.TAYLER: A-Rod-Yankees feud takes another bizarre turnBosch's former attorneys said a wire transfer of nearly $50,000 described as a mistake was refused. The payments are part of MLB's evidence of Rodriguez's attempts to tamper with the league's Biogenesis investigation, according to the report.A spokesperson for Bosch attorney Susy Ribero-Ayala said in a statement to "Outside the Lines" on Sunday that Rodriguez, currently appealing a 211-game suspension from MLB, paid her a $25,000 retainer to defend Bosch in February."A retainer was paid (via wire transfer) by a representative of Alex Rodriquez (sic). Ms. Ribero-Ayala accepted this payment on behalf of Anthony Bosch as payment for his legal representation," the statement says.The statement says the second payment was unexpected."In April 2013, Ms. Ribero-Ayala received an unsolicited and unwarranted wire transfer from A-Rod Corp. The funds were immediately returned. Mr. Rodriquez (sic) does not have any involvement in Mr. Bosch's legal representation."According to documents seen by "Outside the Lines," the amount of the second transfer was for nearly $50,000, minus transfer fees.MLB officials declined comment Sunday night. Representatives for Rodriguez did not return calls seeking comment.The documents also show that Ribero-Ayala and Jared Lopez, a partner with Roy Black's law firm in Miami, exchanged emails discussing the wire transfer. Black's firm was representing Rodriguez at the time.According to the document, Ribero-Ayala said she had received the money and was unaware of any reason for it. Lopez responded that the money had been sent in error, and he asked that it be returned. It was.Black's firm no longer represents Rodriguez, and Lopez could not be reached Sunday night, according to ESPN.The documents and the statement from Ribero-Ayala's office appear to contradict earlier reports that Bosch sought to "shake down" Rodriguez for money before agreeing to cooperate with MLB's investigation in June. Instead, several sources familiar with the case said, investigators have said they believe Rodriguez paid for Bosch's attorney and sent the second payment in order to prevent him from providing evidence or testimony against Rodriguez. At best, sources said, the evidence suggests failed negotiations between the two parties. Promoted Stories Comments

US 20040266640 A1 Abstract Enhanced UV blocking is provided to clothing by washing the clothing in a composition including a UV blocking dye and at least one additional water-soluble material which serves as a matrix and/or a dispersant for the dye in the washing machine. The dye is initially in the form of a solid tablet or pellet preferably also containing a disintegrant, or inside a water-soluble envelope. When placed in the washing machine with the clothing and the washing water, the pellet or tablet disintegrates and dissolves releasing the UV protectant dye to the clothing.
Claims(14) 1. A UV-protectant material in unit dosage form, adapted to impart UV-blocking to clothing in water, and further adapted to be used in a washing machine, comprising:
a UV-protectant composition in powder form within a water soluble package, or in pellet or tablet form capable of disintegrating in water, said UV-protectant composition comprising a UV-protectant dye capable of being absorbed or adsorbed onto fibers of clothing and imparting UV blocking to said clothing; and, in the case of said tablet or pellet form, at least one additional component which provides at least one of some matrix, dispersion and disintegration functions to said pellet or tablet. 2. The pellet or tablet of

13. A package comprising an outer container and a plurality of individual doses each being in accordance with
14. In a method of imparting UV-protection to clothing in a domestic washing machine, comprising running the domestic washing machine containing clothes desired to be imparted with UV-blocking, together with a UV protectant dye, the improvement wherein
said UV protectant dye is placed in said washing machine in a unit dosage form in accordance with Description [0001] This application is based on provisional application No. 60/483,056, filed Jun. 30, 2003, and claims the priority thereof. [0002] The present invention relates to a UV protectant product in tablet or pellet form, or water-soluble package containing the dye in loose powder form, and a method of domestic or industrial use thereof in treating fabrics to impart more resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light passage therethrough. [0003] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] The public is becoming increasingly aware of damage to the skin caused by sunlight, and particularly the ultraviolet (UV) components of sunlight, such damage including various types of skin cancers and early �leathering� and aging of the skin. As a result of this knowledge, sunscreen lotions and creams, as well as cosmetics containing sunscreens, are now available and sold to the public in increasing varieties and amounts, and at various protection (SPF) levels. [0005] Although also well known, but less well known than damage caused to uncovered skin by UV, sunlight also passes through clothing, more or less depending on the openness of the fabric from which the clothing is made and the material itself. For example, normal light weight cotton clothing, commonly worn in summer, is relatively poor in blocking UV rays. Cotton is not a strong UV absorber and UV light is only moderately attenuated when it passes through normal cotton clothing. There is accordingly a need for blocking UV rays that pass through normal cotton clothing, especially the lightweight type commonly used in summer time, e.g. T-shirts and the like, as well as clothing made from other fabrics as well, e.g. cotton-polyester blends, nylon, nylon blends, and also regenerated cellulose, flax, linen, etc., and blends thereof with one another or other fibers. [0006] There are UV-blocking clothes on the market that permit air-flow while blocking UV, but these clothes tend to be expensive. Some relatively recent U.S. patents which relate to the industrial treatment of yarns, fibers, fabrics and finished textiles to enhance their UV absorption or attenuation include U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,637,348; 6,015,504; 6,610,214 and 6,641,920. [0007] Because factory-UV-treated textiles are quite expensive, it would be desirable to provide means for treating clothing, especially lightweight summer clothing, in the home, i.e. domestically, and there are basically three ways to do this, namely: (1) incorporating the UV attenuation or blocking material in a laundry detergent composition, (2) providing such a material as a separate powder for use with a laundry detergent, or (3) in accordance with the present invention as described below. [0008] Incorporation of the UV blocking material with laundry detergent is inconvenient because the household then needs to have two different kinds of laundry detergents, one including the blocking material and one not including the blocking material; or, alternatively, a single household detergent can be used containing the UV protectant material, but in that case the cost increases substantially because articles such as linens, underwear and bed clothing are also impregnated with UV protectant, which is unnecessary and wasteful. [0009] The second option is one commercially available, noting for example the Rit� Sun Guard� Laundry Treatment (see www.ritdye.com/sun_guard/faq.asp). The Rit� system, which includes Tinosorb� FD, a UV protectant produced by CIBA Specialty Products as active ingredient, requires its use with laundry detergent, i.e. it is simply added as a powder to the regular wash load, preferably without the addition of chlorine bleach. While this system is an improvement over incorporating the UV protectant in the laundry detergent, it also is not convenient because separate doses must be pre-packaged for different wash loads, or there is always a measurement problem. In addition, opening the packet of the UV protectant powder and dumping the entire contents or a portion of the powder into the washing machine creates a danger from possible inhalation of some of the powder. [0010] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to at least partially overcome at least some of the problems in the prior art as indicated above, and/or to provide some degree of improvement of means and/or methods for enhancing the ability of textiles to absorb or attenuate UV, preferably at a lower cost and/or in a more convenient and/or safe way. [0012] One or more of the above objects are achieved in accordance with the present invention by providing a UV protectant material, hereinafter sometimes referred to as UV protectant dye, in composition form as either a powder in a dissolvable package or in tablet or pellet form, which can be added to a washing machine, e.g., a home washing machine, either with conventional detergent or by itself. The UV protectant composition desirably includes a water-soluble material as the matrix to allow for dispersion of the UV protectant dye which does not interfere with normal clothes washing, and which enhances storage stability. The tablet or pellet form, which can be either made by melting and casting, or by compression of a powder, desirably also comprises a disintegrant. [0013] The pellet or tablet form is particularly advantageous in that the UV protectant dye can then be provided in such a way that doses can be easily calibrated to the load of clothes being treated. For example, for a small load, one pellet or tablet can be used. For medium load, two such pellets or tablets can be used; and for a large load, three such pellets or tablets for example can be used. The powdered form in small dissolvable packages of different sizes can be similarly provided. [0014] Providing a satisfactory pellet or tablet is not easy because of the necessity that the pellet or tablet fully disperse and dissolve in the washing machine during use. Therefore, when the composition is provided in pellet or tablet form, a dispersing agent, and particularly one readily dissolvable in water, should be present, as well as a disintegrating agent. [0015] In general, the UV protectant composition of the present invention includes a UV protectant dye, desirably Tinosorb� FM from CIBA, together with at least one matrix and dispersant material, e.g. a single material which provides both matrix and dispersion function, or at least one material which provides mostly or entirely a dispersion function and another material which provides mostly or entirely a matrix function. [0016] An excellent and inexpensive agent which serves dispersant and matrix functions is simple sugar, e.g. powdered sucrose, but the dispersant can be almost any solid material which is water soluble, including polyethylene glycol, alcohol ethoxylates, carbonates, bicarbonates, water-soluble polymers, block copolymer surfactants, and even hydrocarbons with sufficient hydroxy radicals to be soluble, as well as various mixtures of two or more of these. Sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, citric acid and non-ionic surfactant worked not as well. Routine testing is all that is necessary to determine suitable matrix and dispersant components. [0017] UV protectant dyes may also be routinely tested for suitability. A large number of these are disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 6,015,504. [0018] The relative quantities of UV protectant dye with respect to the matrix, dispersant and disintegrant in the case of the pellet or tablet form depends to some extent on the size of the water-soluble package or of the pellet or tablet. In general, the size of the water-soluble package and of the pellet or tablet should be in the range from about 2 grams to about 30 grams, more desirably no larger than 20 grams, but is preferably of a size of about 3-8 grams, and most preferably about 4 grams. On the other hand, the water-soluble package can be made larger, if desired, by the inclusion of various fillers, e.g. detergent powder or even inert fillers of various types. [0019] The quantity of UV-protectant dye in each water-soluble package or in each pellet or tablet will depend on the size of the pellet or tablet, and whether the water-soluble package or the pellet or tablet is intended for a small load, a medium load or a large load. This may be determined by routine testing, but for tablet or pellet of 4 grams there should be a minimum of 2% and a maximum of 60% of UV protectant dye based on the total weight of the pellet or tablet, preferably 8% to 50%, and more preferably 12% to 35%. In the case of the water-soluble package, the powder composition therewithin may comprise 100% of the dye, although it is preferred that lesser percentages be used, with the balance being detergent powder, inert fillers, and/or water soluble dispersants in powder form, such as those mentioned above, e.g. polyethylene glycol, alcohol ethoxylates, carbonates, etc. [0020] For the pellet or tablet form, it is desirable to include a disintegrant as part of the composition. Although other disintegrants can be used, the preferred disintegrant is a commercial product sold by FMC Corporation under the trademark Ac-Di-Sol�, which is an internally-cross linked form of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, the chemical name of which is croscarmellose sodium, which differs from sodium carboxymethylcellulose only in that it has been cross-linked to insure that it is essentially water insoluble. Croscarmellose sodium aids in the disintegration and dissolution of the pellets or tablets, and improves the long-term stability thereof. [0021] If the tablet or pellet is made by pressing powder, it is desirable to use a conventional mold lubricant such as magnesium stearate to prevent the pressed tablet or pellet from sticking to the inside of the mold. A bittering agent, such as Bitrex, is also desirably included to inhibit accidental consumption by children. [0022] For a 4 gram tablet or pellet, presently considered the optimum size, the minimum and maximum preferred quantities of components are as follows:
[0023] For the dissolvable package form of the present invention, the components are desirably in mixed powdered form, and the envelope surrounding the powder is formed of a suitable water soluble polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl pyrrolidine, although other water soluble films can be used. [0024] The present invention is particularly adapted for domestic use in the home washing machine, although alternatively it of course can be used commercially or industrially. Particularly for home use, the UV protectant product of the present invention is desirably provided within an outer package, in the form of single use products of one size or preferably at least two different sizes, e.g., a first size for a small load of clothes to be treated, and a second larger size for a larger load of clothes to be treated. For example, in the case of providing the product in the form of tablets or pellets, 4 gram pellets can be provided for a small load and 6 or 8 gram pellets for a large load, the latter for example including 50%-100% more UV protectant dye. Of course, the packaging is not limited to the incorporation of only two sizes of pellets or tablets, or two sizes of water dissoluble packages, but may include three or more sizes for different size loads. [0025] In use, the water soluble packets or the pellets or tablets are simply added to the washing machine with the clothes to be treated, either with or without detergent, and the normal clothes washing cycle is run. In the case where the consumer is provided with water soluble packages or with pellets or tablets of only one size suitable for a small load, directions would desirably be provided to inform the consumer that, for example, one pellet or tablet or one water soluble packet should be used for a small load, two for a medium load, and three for a large load; or, again depending on the dosage size, one tablet, pellet or water soluble package for a small load and two for a large load. [0026] The following specific examples are offered illustratively, but not limitatively. [0027] A 4 gram tablet was pressed from the following mixture of powders, the UV protectant dye being Tinosorb� FD, obtained from Ciba Specialty Products.
[0028] A 10 gram tablet was formed comprising 7% Tinosorb� FD and 93% Pluronic F98 block copolymer surfactant from BASF. [0029] A 10 gram tablet was formed similar to that of Example 2 comprising 7% Tinosorb� FD and 93% TB-970 alcohol ethoxylate from RHODIA. [0030] A 7 gram tablet was pressed from a mixture of 10% Tinosorb� FD and 90% powdered sucrose. This tablet was tested against a control fabric having a measured UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of average 6.91, with a standard deviation of 0.21. The treated fabric had an average UPF of 28.66 with a standard deviation of 1.44. [0031] A 7 gram tablet formed of 90% pluronic F98 non-ionic surfactant from BASF (compare Example 2) and 10% Tinosorb� FD was tested against the aforementioned control, and provided the fabric with a UPF average of 26.81 with a standard deviation of 2.33. [0032] The tablet of Example 5 was tested together with one-half cup of Cheer clothes detergent. The resultant fabric had a UPF average of 21.36 with a standard deviation of 2.29. [0033] The tablet of Example 5 was tested along with 100 grams of Antarox BL-225, a non-ionic surfactant from Rhodia, together with 20 grams of EDTA. The resultant fabric had a UPF average of only 11.69, with a standard deviation of 0.43. [0034] The objective of this series of tests was to determine the effectiveness of the UV Protectant of the present invention under various home-washing scenarios. [0035] There were ten sets of test samples prepared for UPF evaluation. The cloth used in these tests was a more open weave than the test cloth used in Example 4-7. This more open weave resulted in lower UPF of the control as well as effectively making an upper bound on the treated items. All samples were White, 100% woven cotton, approximately 7.5�33 inches. [0036] The tablets used were 0.980″ in diameter and 0.268″ thick at the edge with a 0.023″ indent. The tablets weighed 4 grams and were pressed from the following composition:
[0037] After treatment in the washing machine as indicated below, and drying and transport to the test instrument, the treated fabrics were conditioned at 70� F. at 69% relative humidity for one hour before measurement on the Labsphere UV Transmittance analyzer. Measurements were made on a single thickness at four different locations, rotating 90� between measurements. Precautions were used in handling the fabric to prevent the transfer of skin oils and to minimize any stretching. The UPF measurement and analysis conditions were as follows.
[0038] The samples from each test set were analyzed and included the following number of fabrics. [0039] Sample 1-4 fabrics [0040] Sample 2-4 fabrics [0041] Sample 3-2 fabrics [0042] Sample 4-4 fabrics [0043] Sample 5-2 fabrics [0044] Sample 6-2 fabrics [0045] Sample 7-2 fabrics [0046] Sample 8-2 fabrics [0047] Sample 9-3 fabrics [0048] Sample 10-3 fabrics [0049] The following values were recorded: [0050] UPF Rating (AS/NZS 4399:1996) [0051] Mean UPF value [0052] Standard deviation of the mean UPF value [0053] Coefficient of Variation (COV), expressed as a percent [0054] % Transmittance of UV in the UV-A wavelength range (315-400 nm) [0055] % Transmittance of UV in the UV-B wavelength range (280-315 nm) [0056] The results for both UPF Rating and Mean UPF were included in the evaluation. The Mean UPF value is the average UPF value of the four measurements taken on each fabric sample and is calculated as follows:
[0057] Mean: [0058] Where: [0059] n=the total number of measurements or scans [0060] xi=the UPF value of each individual measurement, i [0061] The UPF rating, which is based on the Australian/New Zealand standard 4399:1996, takes into account the variation or standard deviation between the measurements. This rating is calculated by subtracting the standard deviation from the mean UPF value, then rounding this value down to the nearest multiple of 5. [0062] The standard deviation indicates the amount of variation that exists between the measurements. The coefficient of variation expresses the deviation as a percentage of the mean UPF. Higher values indicate higher variations. [0063] The standard deviation and coefficient of variation are calculated as follows: [0064] Standard Deviation:
[0065] Where: [0066] n=the total number of measurements or scans [0067] xi=the UPF value of each individual measurement, i [0068] Coefficient of Variation: COV=Standard deviation/Mean UPF�100 [0069] The results from the analysis of the fabrics and the conditions of treatment are shown in Table 2-11 below for the UPF rating and mean UPF. The % Transmittance for the UV-A and UV-B regions is also included. The fabrics within each sample set were arbitrarily labeled. [0070] Visual assessment (natural daylight) of the fabric after treatment shows appearance is uniform with no indications of streaks. Results for each fabric are summarized in Table 12. [0071] Woven cotton cloth was cut into strips across the full width of the cloth, i.e. 36″. These strips were then hemmed to prevent unraveling. These strips were examined under a UV light and it was determined that they had been treated with a brightening agent. All of the strips were washed in a Kenmore 90 plus series set for large wash, hot wash, cold rinse, single rinse, fast agitation, Ultra clean 14-minute cycle. Eight ounces of 6% bleach was added to the water as the water was flowing into the machine and the agitation was allowed to run for 20 seconds before the strips were added. After washing all of the strips were hung on plastic hangers to dry. Washing caused the strips to shrink approximately 8%. [0072] The strips were observed with a UV light source after washing. The brightening agent appeared to have been removed by the washing in the bleach solution, but the thread used for hemming still had brightening residual. [0073] The strips described above were the control and were treated as shown in samples 2-10 below to determine the effects of the tablets of the present invention.
[0074] Strip sets 2 through 10 were washed in a Kenmore 90 plus series set for small wash, single rinse, cold rinse, normal agitation, Ultra clean 14-minute cycle. When detergents were used either ⅓ cup of Tide Deep Clean 40086750 or ⅓ cup of Purex Deep Down Original Scent was added. The detergent was added to the water during the fill and the strips were added before the agitation started. [0075] The Sample 2 set of strips were washed with a UV Protectant tablet as disclosed above, without detergent and with hot water.
[0076] The Sample 3 strips were washed with the UV Protectant tablet as disclosed above, without detergent and with warm water.
[0077] The Sample 4 strips were washed with the aforementioned UV Protectant tablet, with Tide detergent and with hot water.
[0078] The Sample 5 strips were washed with the present UV Protectant tablet, with Purex detergent and with hot water.
[0079] The Sample 6 strips were washed with the present UV Protectant tablet, with Tide detergent and with warm water.
[0080] The Sample 7 strips were taken from a portion of the Sample 2 strips, washed with the present UV Protectant tablet, without detergent and with hot water.
[0081] The Sample 8 strips were taken from a portion of the Sample 6 set of strips, washed with the present UV Protectant tablet, Tide detergent and in warm water. [0082] [0083] The Sample 9 strips were taken from a portion of the Sample 4 set of strips, exposed to sun on Sep. 14, 2003. These strips were hung on a line strung on a boat on a lake at 81� 26.92 West, at 30� 20.08 North, at exactly North South so that the sun could shine on both sides. The strips were hung on the line the night before and removed at sunset, i.e. 7:33 PM. In the morning the sun shown on the east side of the strips and in the afternoon the sun shown both directly and reflected from the water on the West side. These strips were then washed without the UV Protectant tablet of the present invention, with Tide detergent and with warm water. [0084] [0085] The Sample 10 strips were taken from a portion of the Sample 4 set of strips, washed with the present UV Protectant tablet, with Tide detergent and in hot water. [0086] [0087] [0088] Woven cotton cloth of 36″ width was cut into strips across the full width of the cloth. These strips were then hemmed to prevent unraveling. These strips were examined under a UV light and it was determined that they had been treated with a brightening agent. All of the strips were washed in a Kenmore 90 plus series set for large wash, hot wash, cold rinse, single rinse, fast agitation, Ultra clean 14-minute cycle. Eight ounces of 6% bleach was added to the water as the water was flowing into the machine and the agitation was allowed to run for 20 seconds before the strips were added. After washing all of the strips were hung on plastic hangers to dry. After washing and drying the strips were approximately 7″ long and 33″ wide, representing an approximate 8% shrinkage. [0089] The strips were observed with a UV light source after washing. The brightening agent appeared to have been removed by the washing in the bleach solution but the thread used for hemming still had brightening residual. [0090] The strips described above were the control. [0091] A 4 gram tablet of the same composition as in Example 8 was used to add UV protection. [0092] Strip sets 2 through 10 were washed in a Kenmore 90 plus series set for small wash, single rinse, cold rinse, normal agitation, Ultra clean 14-minute cycle. When detergents were used either ⅓ cup of Tide Deep Clean 40086750 or ⅓ cup of Purex Deep Down Original Scent was added. The detergent was added to the water during the fill and the strips were added before the agitation started. [0093] The attached Table 13 describes how each of the sets of strips was treated.
[0094] As in Example 8, strip set 9 used strips taken from strip set 4 and exposed to sun on Sep. 14, 2003. These strips were hung on a line strung on a boat on a lake at 81� 26.92 West, at 30� 20.08 North, at exactly North South so that the sun could shine on both sides. The strips were hung on the line the night before and removed at sunset, i.e. 7:33 PM. In the morning the sun shown on the east side of the strips and in the afternoon the sun shown both directly and reflected from the water on the West side. Sep. 14, 2003 was a mostly sunny day so this exposure should represent a worst case of a washing and wearing cycle for UV Protectant treated clothing. These strips were then washed per Table 14.

What Were Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch Whispering About on the Red Carpet?
Both Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch were recently spotted whispering on the red carpet while being snapped by photographers at award shows. …

New Years is a grand time for Brits in the U.S to take stock of how they're doing as expats, and perhaps to make a few little changes. Here's a few suggestions:

Chef Daniel Boulud, the genius multitasker, already has five cookbooks and five restaurants to his name, not to mention a show on INHD TV called After Hours with Daniel Boulud. Now he's got yet another cookbook, Braise, and a wine bar launching this winter (the first, he hopes, of many) in partnership with wine director Daniel Johnnes. Why a wine bar? Boulud says he likes "the casual approach to wine, the European feeling of a wine bar." The menu will include charcuterie from Paris's renowned Gilles Verot and cheese and bistro dishes like the ones that follow. The wine list will focus on Burgundy. "These will be great-value, approachable wines, but there will also be great collector's wines too," Johnnes promises.

importing new tickets with arbitrary pre-defined number rejected by trac
Reported by: | trac@… | Owned by: | farialima |
Priority: | low | Component: | TicketImportPlugin |
Severity: | minor | Keywords: | |
Cc: | Trac Release: | 1.0 |
Error: Ticket 1540 found in file, but not present in Trac: cannot import.
Trying a simple one ticket import file. It seems to be trying to work but instead of adding it is failing out because it can not find the ticket.
perhaps there is a setting somewhere I am missing?

comment:1 Changed 6 years ago by advicepig
I had the same error when importing tickets from another system. It appears that the plugin will only create new tickets with new numbers or update old tickets.
So I created a csv that had just one column, summary. I filled that column with sequential numbers so there were as many rows as I needed to create tickets up to the right number of rows. I imported this to create a ton of tickets.
After that worked, I imported the csv with my real tickets and it updated each of the fake tickets to be what I expected in the first place.
A little cleanup on the empty tickets followed, but it was faster than anything else I came up with.

- Priority changed from highest to low
- Severity changed from blocker to normal
- Summary changed from Import fail with: Ticket 1540 found in file, but not present in Trac: cannot import. to importing new tickets with arbitrary pre-defined number rejected by trac
well, certainly Trac insists on giving ticket ids on it's own, what makes perfectly sense to avoid (even the need to deal with) duplicates in it's ticket database, bug is more on users side, requesting something Trac itself (the real source of the error message) can't (shouldn't?) allow - simply don't try to predefine new ticket numbers, so IMHO neither plugin nor it's author are to be blamed for the situation
lowering priority, developer(s) or maintainer may even decide to set this to fix:invalid or fixed:wontfix
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
Have to say definitely disagree especially since there is an option for existing numbers in the module. However since it has been 8 months really not much relevance anymore.
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by farialima
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
I'm afraid that this is not possible to implement. I understand what you want to do, but the main goal of this plugin is letting you edit your tickets in Excel, and re-import them: not migrate from one system to another. Closing as wontfix, but documenting on the home page.
comment:5 Changed 2 years ago by rendus@…
- Resolution wontfix deleted
- Severity changed from normal to minor
- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Trac Release changed from 0.11 to 1.0
- Type changed from defect to enhancement
This is really awful to find, searching Google, when I follow the documentation that states the following:
The only required fields are either: summary. If tickets are found in Trac with the same 'summary', they will be reconciliated: no ticket will be added, but modified or added values for other fields, will be imported (of course, any replaced value is always kept in the Change History for the ticket). As a consequence, you cannot have two tickets (or two rows in your spreadsheet) with the same summary . If the summary doesn't match any existing ticket, a new ticket will be created. or: ticket. This field should contain ticket numbers: if tickets are found with the same number, they will be reconciliated. If it is empty for some rows, they will be imported as new tickets. This can be used to export (using a report and save as CSV), modify in Excel, and re-import tickets.
Fix the plugin to not give false information, please.

Financial markets decline in European opening amid the downgrade of Spain's credit rating. Renewed concerns in the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone hurt market sentiment. In Asia, the Bank of Japan expectedly eased monetary policy but increasing the size of the Asset Purchase Program so as to boost the economic recovery and inflation. European bourses gapped down at open. In the commodity sector, gold eased after Thursday's rally after the FOMC meeting. Investors' interest in the yellow metal returned amid rekindled hope of further Fed's easing later this year.
Standard & Poor's cut Spain's credit rating by 2 notches to BBB+ from A due to the country's budget deficits and dismal economic outlook. S&P's is the first of the 3 major rating agencies to take away Spain's A credit rating. This aroused concerns about worsening of the Eurozone crisis although the IMF successfully increased the global funding to US$ 430B.
The Bank of Japan eased monetary policy again in April by increasing the size of its Asset Purchase Program. Policymakers announce to increase its JGB buying by around 10 trillion yen, extend the duration of JGBs targeted to 3 years from the current 2 years, and would increase the size of its ETF buying by 0.2 trillion yen and its J-REIT buying by 0.01 trillion yen. Moreover, the central bank reduced the size of its fixed rate market operations by 5 trillion yen as a result of "taking into account recent episodes of under-subscription".
On the dataflow, Japan's inflation remained mild with the core national CPI gaining +0.2% y/yin March from +0.1% a month ago. The leading Tokyo core CPI fell -0.5% y/y in April following a -0.3% contraction in the prior month. Growth in industrial production was disappointing with a +1.0% gain in March, compared with consensus of a +2.3% rise, despite an improvement from the -1.6% dip a month ago.
The US economic growth probably eased to +2.5% q/q in 1Q12, from +3.0% in the last quarter of 2011. The University of Michigan Confidence Index might have been revised higher, by +0.2 point, to 75.9 n April.

LeVar Burton on 'Roots' and 'Star Trek'
As reported at Southeasttexaslive.com, Burton has played some memorable roles but he is most proud of his work on Reading Rainbow. In 1977's legendary mini-series Roots, he played Kunta Kinte, a slave brought from Africa to the United States in the 1700s. "February, Black History Month, this is a big month for Kunta," said Burton. "Half the country thinks that's my name anyway." Regarding playing LaForge on The Next Generation, Burton said that he was proud of the idea of the show, which treated all races equally. "You know 'Star Trek' had the first interracial kiss on network TV," he said. "That's getting it done." Burton still owns the visor that his character wore. "Don't be surprised if you ever see those on Ebay," he said. "They're going to put my daughter through college." Although he enjoyed working on and was proud of his work on both Roots and The Next Generation, Burton admitted that his work on Reading Rainbow was especially close to his heart. "It made my mama proud," he said of the show. To read more, head to the link located here. |

Questions to all other low-carb dieters...
I am hooked on the recipies of Dana Carpender. She is a "low carb for life" advocate and has a web site where she writes a blog. In one of her blog posts she mentions a conversation that she had with a nutritionist. The nutritionist said that any diet that restricts an entire food group is a fad diet. She apparently felt quite strongly about this statement. Dana posed the question to her "what about vegetarianism? Is that a fad?" The nutritionist was taken aback and replied that she had never looked at it that way. Vegetarianism is much more accepted than low carb is, which I think is wrong. Those of us who are low carb lifers just need to "march to our own drummer" and do what makes our bodies feel good.

Need Energy
1. Make sure that you are taking a good multi-vitiamin. 2. Make sure that you are eating enough. 3. Exercise (at least a little). 4. If all else fails, have some coffee. I add 1 T of heavy cream and 1 packet of SteviaPlus so that it only adds 1 carb to may daily total. You may experience several days (2-5) of low energy when starting this plan. This happens because your body is "addicted" to the bad carbs. If it gets too bad, bump your carb intake up to 25 grams and see if that helps. If that makes you feel better stay there for a few days and then try and go back down to 20. One final thing...make sure that you are getting enough sleep, it really can make a huge difference when you are making a big change like this.

Beginner in need
Take the advice to eliminate all "bad" food items from your home. If you have a family it won't hurt them to lower their carb intake a bit. Not eating things full of sugar and white flour will benefit their health as well. You have to view this like a junkie getting off their drug of choice. Amazingly, once you stop eating that stuff the cravings disappear. Good luck to you, you CAN do this.

Fast Food Carb Counts
Beware of the Subway wraps. They used to have a low carb wrap but it is now high carb. I emailed the company to complain and they were less than sympathetic. I've heard that some Subways may still have the low carb version but I don't know if that is true. I guess that you have to ask about it, but then I'm not sure I would trust the workers to know for sure. The Quizno's black and blue salad is pretty low carb if you order it without the flatbread and dressing (6 net carbs). Add a dressing that is low carb and you're good to go!

I have found that the majority of the nay sayers have never read the book or attempted to gain a real knowledge of the Atkins plan. If ever you are in doubt about the correct diet to eat, I recommend that you read "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. I have only read the first three chapters so far and it is quite eye opening. Welcome to the site and I hope that you do well on Atkins again.:d

Cheating should not be an option because all it does is set you back. Even if you don't gain weight it can alter your fat burning metabolism and then you are back at square one. It takes a few days for your body to switch to a fat burning metabolism from a sugar burning metabolism, but the reverse is NOT true. Stay strong and avoid the temptations. Review the food list in the book and look at what you can use to put together healthy, filling, low carb snacks and meals. Once you are in premaintenance you may be able to allow yourself a "cheat" here and there to see how your body responds. It very well may bring back cravings with a vengance. It would serve you well to view all of those bad foods as "poison" as Sararay said. The reason Americans are suffering from epidemic rates of obesity, diabetes and other issues is because of a diet filled with sugar and white carbs.

When the scale doesnt budge
This really is an excellent article. I think that they should also have mentioned the birth control pill under the HRT part as I believe it has the same effect for many women as HRT in inhibiting weight loss.

I gained two pounds!
Are you journaling your foods? This can be a real help to ensure that you really staying at the appropriate carb level. Also, are you drinking your water? You may want to look at portion size and make sure that you aren't going overboard there. If nothing else you could try weighing and measuring out your food for several days so that you get a good idea of what the proper serving sizes look like. Most of us overestimate how much food is in a given serving size. If you didn't take your measurements in the beginning, do so now so that you can track those weekly. Seeing the measurements go down when the scale doesn't can really help keep you going.

You can slice them very thin and put on sandwiches (either the kind with low carb bread, lc wraps, or lettuce leaves). One use for them that I truely love is guacomole (sp). This is great as a topping for meats or a veggie dip. If you make low carb tortilla chips you can dip those in it too (post Induction). I would recommend putting a little guac on a broiled chicken breast with a little shredded cheddar or sour cream.

It is mentioned on page 144 in the end of chapter tips, "Limit sweeteners to three packets a day." It does not state this in the section on sweeteners, just in the end of chapter tips. My book is the 2002 paperback version.

The original poster did not ask for induction friendly snacks, just Atkins friendly snacks in general. During induction I like to take either turkey or ham and spread cream cheese over it and roll it up. These roll ups can also be used for light meals. As Sararay mentioned, you can put cream cheese in the celery for a nice crunchy snack (or just eat the celery plain).

Celery with sugar free peanut butter is one I like to have when in the mood for something crunchy. Olives or marinated mushrooms are also a good snack. When I want something sweet I eat a few sugar free chocolates or have an Atkins bar. Another sweet treat is Swiss Miss diet hot cocoa (only 3 net carbs). Sometimes I use the small LaTorilla Factory tortillas to make tortilla chips. You coat them with cooking spray (both sides), sprinkle on some salt, cut into chips (I do 8 pieces per tortilla), place on baking sheet and bake at 400 between 8 and 12 minutes (depends on your oven). Chips should be lightly browned when done. They are a little chewier than regular tortilla chips but they taste pretty good. One tortilla is only 3 net carbs so keep track of how many you eat!

I make a protein smoothie most every morning for breakfast. Here are the ingredients: 1 cup water 1 packet Stevia Plus 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil (I use Barlean's) 2 tablespoon heavy cream 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Cinnamon to taste 1 scoop whey protein powder (Use a low carb powder) 8 ice cubes I put everything except the ice in the blender and once it is blended pretty well I add the ice cubes. This doesn't get thick but it does get sort of icy. I buy my protein powder at Walmart. Body Fortress brand and it only has 1 carb per serving. I calculated that this smoothie comes in at 1.8 carbs and I find it to be pretty filling. I was on the Fat Flush plan for a while so that is why I use the flaxseed and flax oil. It is one of those MUFA's and it is also full of healthy Omegas. I've noticed that my skin seems so much healthier since I started using it so when I went back to Atkins I decided to keep the flax.

Any suggestions?
You could make your own croutons out of low carb bread. Trader Joes has a sprouted grain bread that is only 4 net carbs per slice and comes in wheat, 7 grain, and rye varieties. I buy this bread for my family and they love it AND it cuts down their white carb intake. When you make the croutons just note how many cubes you are getting per slice of bread so that you can accurately count the carbs you are adding to your salad.

feeling like snacking
I try and reserve a couple of carbs for an after dinner snack in my carb allowance for the day. This could be anything Atkins friendly and just a small amount. Sometimes I will drink my carbs and have tea or one of my new favorites, Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa. The diet variety only has 3 net carbs and does satisfy the old chocolate craving. Part of the snacky feeling could be because you are bored. Find some activity to get your mind off of food. Something active is best, but anything that distracts you will work.

What are your top 5 motivators for losing this weight that you can't do at your current weight?[/
1. To feel better about my body. 2. To be able to wear all of my clothes (not at the same time :lol: ) 3. To remain healthy. 4. To feel more energetic. 5. To feel sexy again.

Be careful of the steaks. Often they are cut thick (at least at the grocery stores I shop at) and weigh a pound or more!! Try to find steak cuts that you like that are closer to the half-pound mark. If big steaks are all that is available then cut into smaller servings after cooking. Leave out the serving you are going to eat and put the rest in the fridge for lunch or a quick dinner. Add a bagged salad mix (lettuce not complete salads) and you have a great Atkins friendly dinner!

atkins vs. south beach diet
I haven't read the South Beach Plan but I believe the main difference is that you get to have more carbs during phase 2 of South Beach than you do on Atkins. I think that the maintainence phases of both plans are also very similar but again SB allows for more carbs (primarily from veggie and whole grain sources) than Atkins. I also believe that both plans restrict all WHITE carbs permanently as both authors agree regarding how bad these are for the human body.

bummed out
Since you are not able to bear weight on your knee your options are pretty limited. If you are on physical therapy I would ask the therapist if there is anything that they recommend. You may want to consider some stretching exercises and either weights or an exercise band to work your upper body. If you are on crutches I would suggest walking as much as you can with them as that should also be a fairly good work out. Be very careful not to re-injure the knee so that you can get back to normal sooner. Following the diet should help you a bunch, just make sure to reduce portion sizes a bit since you aren't as active as you normally would be. Hang in there!

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
We've all experienced this: You're heading down the highway and the car in front of or beside you is driving erratically, changing speeds, maybe drifting into the other lane.
Twelve years ago this Wednesday, we were suddenly and stunningly jolted from our naive notion that the world was a much safer place than we had led ourselves to believe.
Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, in our case a cool, wet season. With clearer skies finally here, we can dodge the storms and enjoy delayed fireworks, cookouts, football games and time at the lake before fall arrives.
Fifty years ago this week, a seminal moment in history was off many Americans' radar.
At one time, the biggest competition between Georgia and Florida came each fall in Jacksonville over cocktails and a football game. Now when our two states clash, it nearly always involves water and courtrooms.
Students, welcome to your last day of summer.
You can understand if officials in Hall County's various cities are a little reluctant to enter into business deals with the county government.
In coming days, parents will be hitting the stores for shoes, notebooks and glue pens, chiseling dried gum off last year's backpacks and preparing for another school year.
So much for thinking the federal government was going to butt out of Georgia's election process. Just a few weeks after a Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act freed our state from one restriction, along comes another.
For a brief shining moment, there appeared a glimmer of hope that our courageous and wise leaders in Washington, D.C., would muster the will to patch up our cracked immigration system.
Freedom is the embodiment of all we hold dear as Americans, yet is something we all tend to define differently.
In a busy week at the Supreme Court, justices narrowly voted to change the very nature of how elections are conducted in Georgia and 14 other states.
The fight over voter identification just won't go away.
Georgia ranks among the states with the highest percentage of its population currently behind bars, which is good news or bad news, depending on your perspective.
There is an old adage warning those who seek civil discourse to avoid the discussion of politics or religion in social situations.
Death and taxes are life's only certainties, Benjamin Franklin said, and one is about as popular as the other. They surely go together for most elected officials, and when they ask constituents for more, it's like a trip to the dentist for everyone.
For decades, conservative leaders in Washington and Atlanta have preached the goal of decentralizing government by returning power from federal to state and state to local, giving average citizens more direct control of their daily lives.
"Safety first" was taught to a generation of children in eras past, and remains a top priority for parents, schools and society. Back in the day, children cowered under their desks to prepare for nuclear attack; today, they hunker down in hallways braced for tornadoes.
Broken families. Neglectful parents racked by poverty, addiction or poor personal decisions. Abused children denied a normal upbringing. Government agencies short on resources and personnel scrambling desperately to keep a bad situation from getting worse.

My order came very quickly. They are off white just in case you are looking at the photo and ordering. I may send them back.
The color is not as shown its cream and black, if you need white dont buy it .
The curtains are gorgeous. I agree though with another reviewer, who said that the curtains are *not* the shade of white in the picture. Instead of off-white, it's safer to call it a cream/beige. I have each panel flanked with black sheers on the outside, and white sheers inset though, and they look stunning in the room I bought them for. Personally, I think they look better in this "off-white" shade than they do with the stark white in the shown pictures!

Hunt for killers of U.S. Ambassador in Benghazi 'being held back by Libya' - as Republicans claim military not FBI should investigate attack
At large: The men who killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens have not been caught
Three months after Ambassador Christopher Stevens, a diplomat and two CIA contractors were murdered in Benghazi, there is no sign of the killers being brought to justice by the United States.
The investigation into the attacks has been hampered by the reluctance of the Libyan authorities to move against the Islamist terrorists identified by the FBI as responsible for the killing, according to American officials briefing the 'New York Times'.
None of the suspects has been arrested or killed and some have fled Libya.
Last month, the FBI issued a global appeal asking anyone with information about the killers to send information in an e-mail, text message or via Facebook.
Stevens, the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty since 1979, diplomat Sean Smith and CIA contractors and former U.S. Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, were killed in an attack on the U.S. consultate in Benghazi on September 11.
The following day, President Barack Obama vowed: 'Make no mistake, justice will be done.'
But that promise may remain unfulfilled if there is not more cooperation from the Libyan authorities.
'This case is surrounded and intertwined with sensitivities - it is a process of doing business there and respecting their sovereignty," an American official who has been briefed on the investigation told the New York Times.
Destruction: The U.S. Consulate, after an attack that killed four Americans, including the Ambassador on September 11 this year
Since first visiting Benghazi in early October, FBI agents have returned to the city at least twice to interview witnesses and collect evidence. Libyan witnesses have been asked to identify suspects caught on surveillance cameras at the consulate and in photographs taken during the attacks.
General Carter Ham, head of the U.S. military's Africa Command, told the newspaper that investigators believed that they had identified some but not all of the major assailants on the consulate and the nearby CIA annex, but 'we don't yet have sufficient information to indict anyone' and the U.S. was 'still collecting and building information'.
He added that the 'the Libyans clearly accept responsibility' for investigating the attack but 'I have expressed to the Libyans that it hasn't proceeded as quickly as any of us would have liked'.
A senior FBI official is leading a team of agents investigating the case, many of whom are from the FBI's New York office. The FBI's legal attaché from the U.S.Embassy in Cairo has also been taking part in the investigation.
The official said that rather than focussing on making a case in preparation for a trial, the FBI agents in Libya were concentrating principally on establishing what occurred before and during the attacks.
investigation: The burnt-out U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. FBI agents have covered the city to interview witnesses and collect evidence
'This is an intelligence-driven investigation, the goal is to establish the facts,' the official said. 'Like this and other cases abroad, we have to be very sensitive. Every country is different when there is investigating on their turf.'
But the Obama administration has been criticised by Republicans, who argue that the U.S. military and not the FBI should be taking the lead and accuse the White House of treating the attacks as a criminal matter rather than an act of war.
'It would be a serious mistake to return to the policy of treating attacks as a law enforcement issue," said Representative Peter King, a Republican and chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security. 'To me, this is a war - this is not a street crime and should not be considered a criminal justice issue.'
Among the blocks that the FBI has come up against in Libya has been a reluctance by some police and government officials to go after members of Ansar al-Shariah, the local Islamist group that took part in the attack.
Benghazi agents were NOT armed at when the Libyan consulate was attacked
- Today a source with personal knowledge of the security situation in Benghazi said that Senators who listened to closed door testimony on the attack learned that State Department security agents were not armed.
- In addition, they heard how agents were separated from Ambassador Chris Stevens as they went to retrieve weapons but only one managed to return to protect the top U.S. official in Libya.
- 'From the accounts I read, those guys were not ready. When the attack came that night, they had to go back to the other room and grab their weapons,' said the source to Breitbart News.
- 'Then the worse part about it was they never even returned to be with the Ambassador. One returned to be with the Ambassador with his rifle.'
- The news that agents at the Benghazi compound were unarmed is likely to concern the House Committee on Foreign Affairs when it questions Secretary of State Hilary Clinton later this week.
- The source described, "Part of the problem was they never really wanted to fully staff it [consulate], and so the numbers were really low."
- According to the Breitbart News source, the State Department security agents are "six week temporary duty assignments.'
Libyan officials in Benghazi have said that it would be impossible for their embryonic security forces to arrest members of powerful militias, some of whom fought with Ansar al-Shariah members during the Libyan uprising against Muammar Gaddafi.
One witness told the New York Times that the FBI tried to question him in front of other Libyans, making him that his identity would be revealed. Others fear that they will not be protected if they cooperate with the FBI.
The American official conceded that the relationship with the Libyan was not optimal. 'When you deal with a foreign country, you have to play by their rules,' the official said.
'You can't just go around the world and conduct an independent investigation wherever it is happening.
'This is nothing specific to Libya. You wouldn't be able to go into London or somewhere in Canada, where you think you think they would be cooperative and friendly, and just do whatever you want. It is just a fact of doing business outside the United States.'
The official added: 'You do the best you can. There are ways to address and mitigate some of the realities we face there to some degree. But the fact is that this is a fact of life of how different countries interact around the world.'
