Samsung loses latest Apple patent suit in UK
Students walk out of a showroom at the headquarters of Samsung Electronics in Seoul
Apple won a patent infringement lawsuit this week in a UK court, which exonerates the iPhone maker from charges it unlawfully used Samsung technology.
Samsung had argued that three individual patents relating to processing and transmitting data on 3G mobile networks had been infringed, but the court found all three claims invalid.
This is the latest case in a global barrage of claims and counterclaims between the two companies, which between them account for one in every two smartphones sold worldwide.
Samsung said it was disappointed by the court's decision.
"Upon a thorough review of the judgment we will decide whether to file an appeal," a spokeswoman said.
Apple declined to comment.
The Korean company won a bittersweet legal victory over its California-based rival last summer when another British judge ruled its Galaxy tablet should not be blocked from sale in Britain.
Latest Issue
"The 1950s saw the first big wave of 3D films, but the novelty wore off. Sixty years later, 3D may be back to stay as the technology goes mainstream."

Her Name Was ChastityHer name was Chastity, which was funny because she was anything but chaste. She loved to fuck, and by the time I met her she'd done it plenty of times. Far more than I had, and that's saying something.I suppose most guys would have been worried getting involved with a girl like her, but I wasn't. Just the opposite. I loved that she wasn't ashamed to admit she enjoyed sex, that she had it as often as she wanted and didn't let petty words like "slut" define her.And I loved her name—the irony of it, the way it sounded, the way it tasted in my mouth. Despite its meaning, "chastity" has got to be one of the most erotic words ever invented. It made me want to fuck her even more. Every time I said it—every time I thought it—the air around me would humidify and I would look at her and see an innocent child, pure and untouched, and I would want to deflower her all over again.I told her this once, and she laughed and said, "Oh, Christian… how un-Christian of yo
Drinking in The AfterlifeFor someone who had killed herself, she was awfully cheerful. She was sitting at a small, one-person table in the corner of the pub, twiddling her hair and giggling. There was a bottle of beer on the tabletop. If I hadn't known that it was untouched, I would have thought she was drunk."Something amusing?" I asked, having walked up to her.She jumped and looked towards me, her eyes finding mine. She smiled somewhat sheepishly. She was such a pretty girl. Why she'd killed herself, I couldn't imagine."I just can't believe this," she said. "Who'd have thought there'd be pubs in the afterlife?"I nodded in understanding. "Indeed."She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then reached out and touched her beer. She picked it up, then set it back down. "I was worried there for a while," she mused. "Suicide being a mortal sin and all. Thought I'd end up in a lake of fire or something.""If you don't mind my asking," I said, "why did you take your own life? If memory serves me right, you ha
Not Too Far DownSometimes Danny would get real scared. He never did like to admit it, but sometimes when he sat on his front porch he'd start tappin' his foot and hummin' and fidgetin' and the like. His wife said it was somethin' with his brain. His rockin' chair helped. So did his cigars.I remember when the men in suits came and had a hole dug in his field, lookin' for oil. "You just might be a rich man," they told him. One of 'em clapped him on the back and he broke down into tears. He sobbed for hours. I couldn't even tell if he was happy or sad. When his wife heard the news, she put her hand to her chest like she was about to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and plum near fainted. I ain't seen her do anything like'at since her first-born son died in the war.I stood beside the hole one night. Danny stood beside me. We stared into it long and hard like we didn't quite know what to make of it. Then I asked him, I said, "Danny, how deep do you think that there hole is?"He laughed. "I dunno, son. How

Anyone Less Than A Saint"Listen, James," Alice said, looking up at him from the bed on which she sat, wearing the pajamas she'd worn the night before. "I got something I have to say to you. Something really important. So I need you to keep quiet and hear me out. Can you do that?""Sure, I guess." A smirk tugged at James' lips. "I mean, I never get a word in edgewise anyway, so…"Alice winced. "I'm sorry about that, Jamie. I'll try to be better, I promise. But for right now I need you to listen, 'cause I'm gonna tell you stuff—stuff I don't particularly want you to hear, but you need to hear it. So, uh, here goes." She cleared her throat, obviously nervous. "I'm a pathological liar."James snorted. "No you're not. You're the most honest girl I know.""That's what you think," Alice said matter-of-factly. "But the truth is, almost everything I've ever told you was a lie. You don't know me, James. I'm sorry you thought you did. I'm sorry I let you believe you did."James paused in wonder. "Wha
InsomniacSleepless nights are psychedelic trickswhere the mind cannot know what it seesnor see what it knows.My eyes adjust to the pin points of lightin the dark and I watch as they morphinto your figure—suggestive and fabricatedbut real to every extentof my imagination.The silence is defeaningso I whistle your favorite tuneto pacify my heartbeat.My body aches as memories paradethrough my mind like the boxcars of a trainwhen they speed at night, revealedonly by the moonlight.These memories I have tried to subduebut my mind is itself a trainwreckand I am powerless to the collisionbetween flashbulb recollectionsand power of will.So I lie in bed, crying and choking,until the mercy of sleep lifts me upand floats me away.
RebeccaRebeccathis is my name with the shadesrolled up, body exposed to the sun,a simple word that I carrylike a badge or a cross or a scar.It is my namedripping from my lips like poetry,hiding inside colors and pictures,stories and music.It's my name with the lights off,me sitting in the middle of the roomwith no one to say it,arms crossed over my ribcage,forehead on my knees,shapes twisting behind my eyelids.Rebeccathis is my name burrowed inthe obscurity of language,building bridges and raising walls.It's my name spokenthrough cigarette smoke and slurred voices,caught up in an embrace,wandering aimlesslyuntil it is lifted off the ground and held,or until some kind soulnurtures it and then gives it back,whispering in my earRebecca
A Thousand Needles"Don't you think you're taking this a bit too far?"The corner of Will's mouth curves into a contemptuous smirk. "No, doc, I don't," he says."See? He just won't stop!" Nina's face is flushed and sickly from sleepless nights and crying. She's a pitiful imagewasted, tired, desperate.And Will laughs at her, unable to control himself. Dr. Willoughby looks down at the piece of scratch notebook paper before him, once again observing the gruesome image of the mutilated infant doodled upon it with the words "mommy no love me" scrawled across the top. He leans back against his cushioned chair, removing his glasses and touching his thumb and forefinger to the bridge of his nose. Then he sighs, weary. It's easy to see he's on the verge of giving up. After six straight weeks of morbid artwork, obscene language, sardonic jokes, and nightmares, he's about ready to seek a doctor himself. "How you can laugh at this is beyond me," he finally says."How you can say I'm taking this 'a bit

Galvanized Films, LLC
Galvanized Films, LLC was formed in early 2001 in Wilmington, NC. Their mission has always been to develop and produce commercially-minded feature films for theatrical release. Along the way Galvanized Films began to produce and broadcast commercials and other non-feature work. In order to stay true to their singular purpose, Galvanized Productions, LLC was created in 2008 to focus on any film or video product other than feature films. To date Galvanized Films has played an integral part in six feature films. In the past two years they have produced four films with such stars as Thomas Dekker ('Sarah Conner Chronicles', upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street), Lance Henrikson (Aliens, 'Millenium'), Marc Singer (Beastmaster, 'V'), Carmen Electra, Lainie Kazan (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Saul Rubinek (Unforgiven, 'Warehouse 13'), Vincent Pastore ('Sopranos'), C Thomas Howell (The Outsiders, Red Dawn), Jodie Sweetin ('Full House'), John Wesley Shipp ('Dawson's Creek') and Barbara Alyn Woods ('One Tree Hill').
The Jailhouse, starring C Thomas Howell, will be theatrically released in 10 states on May 4th. Port City will have a Los Angeles premier early summer 2010.IG-145 will soon be completed and presented to television networks where early responses have been overwhelmingly favorable.
The business of independent film can be resource-exhaustive. Many companies have wandered the globe slashing and burning their way through investors. Galvanized Films has worked diligently to provide a different model. Wilmington is their home and the community's resources are of paramount importance. Galvanized Films chooses projects based on both return and artistic merit. In short, they make films that they are proud of from both a business and filmmaker's perspective. Their track record substantiates these claims.
Networking is vital to their success. Organizations such as the UNCW Entrepreneurship Center allow them the opportunity to foster new relationships while learning from the past experiences of other entrepreneurs. Heath Franklin with Galvanized Films says that they will continue to work with the UNCWEC as the University has made a commitment to the long-term growth of both the center and entrepreneurs in our area. He looks forward to exploiting this wonderful resource in the future.

Funny Books for Funny Kids: Ages 6-7
From Dav Pilkey, creator of Captain Underpants, and acclaimed artist Dan Santat, an out-of-this-world friendship adventure with all-new full-color illustrations!
George likes to write. Harold likes to draw. They figure all superheroes look like they're wearing underpants, and so a new comic-book superhero is born. And this one's got Wedgie Power! The boys are just as creative in real life.
Junie's having a rough week. First she got punishment for shooting off her mouth in kindergarten. And now she's in big trouble again! 'Cause Monday is Job Day, and Junie B. told her class that she's got the "bestest" job of all. Only, what the heck is it?
Who is Geronimo Stilton? Why, that's me! I run a newspaper, but my true passion is writing tales of adventure. Here on Mouse Island, my books are all bestsellers! What's that? You've never read one? Well, my books are full of fun. They are whisker-licking-good stories, and that's a promise!
The big bad wolf has spent ten years in pig prison for the destruction of the three little pigs, and he has quite a story to tell that just might prove his innocence!
Doug discovers that although being Harry's best friend in Miss Mackle's second grade class isn't always easy, it is often a lot of fun.
In honor of Judy Moody's younger "bother," the creators of the award-winning series have put themselves in a very Stink-y mood – proving, once and for all, that you're only as short as you feel.

I started a batch of Ed's Apfelwein last week using 2 packs of EC-1118 and 3 tsp yeast nutrients and the SG has already stabilized one week later. Is the rest of the 4 week wait just clearing or is there some kind of conditioning going on? Basically, if I add sparkolloid now, bottle a couple days after, and wait to drink it till the end of the month, will it be roughly the same as waiting till the end of the month and bottling/drinking it then? This batch is for Christmas presents, so they won't get drunk till the end of December anyway, but I only have one primary and I want to get another batch (or two (or three)) in before then. Thanks!
Buy another bucket. Leave the apfelwein in primary for AT LEAST 4 weeks. I left mine in for 8 weeks and it was awesome. I still think with a year of aging, it will be much better. And also, I'd watch it giving these as gifts. Most of them will end up down the drain. It's an aquired taste, and if the giftee doesn't like VERY dry wine, they probably won't even bother drinking a second glass.

Business women who travel
For women who travel for business, the chain hotels can be rather lonely and unfriendly. We relish the new generation of pubs and inns with rooms that offer an easy and welcoming option. There is no need to worry about booking a restaurant when there is delicious food in house. See what our guest blogger, Kate, has to say about booking pubs with rooms through the Get Back to Me website...

Pembrokeshire Coast Path voted 3rd best in the world
Yesterday, in The Mirror, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path was voted the 3rd best walk in the World!
Better even than Mount Kilimanjaro which was placed 4th, and only beaten by the Appalachian Trail, in America and the walk between France and Spain known as – Camino Frances.
Throughout the UK there are numerous wonderful long distance paths, we, as a family all have differing favourites, I love coastal paths, my husband has 'planting flag syndrome' he like summits! One son plans walks that include castles, the other, pubs. Our daughter, who had to be motivated with snacks at strategic points for years, has recently completed the famous 3 – Scafell Pike, Snowdon and Ben Nevis. What is so pleasing is that having done walked en famille from a young age, they have continued to enjoy it, and have subsequently introduced various friends to some of our favourite walks.
We'd like to know what your top 10 UK long distance paths are.
Drop us a line to email@example.com
The Mirror's Top Ten was world-wide.
Appalachian Trail. USA Camino Frances. France/Spain Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Wales Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzania Zion Narrows. America Tongariro Crossing. New Zealand Paine Circuit Trail. Chile West Coast Trail. Canada Tiger Leaping Gorge. China Inca Trail. Peru

For every person going to watch the Olympic Games in London in one year, there will be an equal number trying to avoid the spectacle!

Olympic Tickets?
Yesterday, we learnt what tickets for the 2012 Olympics had been allocated. It was all a bit confusing, I personally applied for £2,000 worth of tickets for 10 different sports in 5 locations. Altogether my family applied for over £20,000 of tickets.
I am the only one who has received any tickets, just two, but they are for the main stadium, for the first round...

Watch Ben's Full GAME OF THRONES Freak-Out in PARKS AND RECREATION Deleted Scene
By Alicia Lutes on March 3, 2014
When Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) gave her husband Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) a replica of the iron throne from HBO/George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, we were all — admit it! — a little jealous. And while his reaction during the scene that made it to air on NBC's Parks and Recreation was pretty priceless, this recently revealed deleted scene proves to be a bit more accurate to the sort of geek-out we'd expect from a true citizen of The Realm. Namely: he loses his ever-loving shit.
It's an adorable freak-out made all the more hilarious by Ben's desire to roleplay as the most recent king of Westeros. (No word on if he considers himself more of a Lannister or a Stark, though.) Unfortunately, Leslie doesn't seem to get better at staying in the correct nerd universe — you'd think Ben would've taught her better by now! — but it doesn't take away from the perfect display of freaking out that ensues. Check it out for yourselves:
Now tell us true: Would you have freaked out more or less than Ben? Let us know in the comments.
I probably would have sat down, said "I AM THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS", found Kit Harrington and fulfilled my fangirl fantasies… but if the iron throne was a TARDIS, i most definitely would be having that reaction.
I would have had a similar reaction. This is hilarious!
[…] By Alicia Lutes […]
This is way better than the scene that made it onto the show. Love it!
I prefer the take they used on the show, but I'm glad to see this outtake.
There most definitely were not 723 past kings… the swords used to make the iron throne were taken from those that surrendered to Aegon the conquerer, not only the past kings of the 7 kingdoms. And there were over a thousand swords.
I'll go back to my mom's basement now to finish analyzing the chronology of the war of the ninepenny kings.
This was spectacular! Way to go, Leslie, on a super cool gift! And go ahead, Ben, #treatyoself! lol
Too. Cute.
Honestly, who wouldn't react to getting their very own Iron Throne?
I love how he "takes a lap" before sitting in it
I understand, but it wouldn't be me. Like someone said earlier if it were the TARDIS…
no puedo ver las escenas eliminadas de la nbc, ¿Cómo lo conseguís vosotros?
Pretty sure he's Team Lannister, his ebay username was TallTyrionLannister iirc.
Oh my lord. I would have FLIPPED. I've always wanted to sit in the Iron Throne that goes around with the GOT Exhibit, but it doesn't come to Florida! But I totally would've been all "I am the Queen of Westeros!" and brought Richard Madden (Robb) back to life to be my king. lol
Why don't I watch this show? This scene is hilarious. I would have been weeping on the floor.

Community Engagement Council
UNF's commitment to community engagement continues to grow. In an effort to help UNF move from a level of good to great community engagement, the Center for Community-Based Learning has implemented a Community Engagement Council (CEC). The CEC brings together members of the Jacksonville and UNF communities to create an agenda aimed at building more robust community partnerships.
Mark Falbo (UNF), William Keator (Arthur Vining Davis Foundations)
Carol Alexander (Ritz Museum & Theatre), Minerva Bryant (River Region Human Services), Dan Cox (UNF), Greg Frazier (The Sulzbacher Center), Chris Janson (UNF), Crystal Jones (Teach for America), Sue Nussbaum (WeCare), Debbie Reed (UNF), Emily Rokosch (JASMYN), Chelsea Rose (UNF Alum), Connie Roush (UNF), Jennifer Spaulding-Givens (UNF), MaliVai Washington (MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation)

Enhancing Community-University Connections Strategy Meetings
Over the course of three Tuesdays in the spring of 2011, a wide-range of community members met with staff from the Center for Community-Based Learning (CCBL) to discuss Community-Based Transformational Learning (CBTL) and what it looks like in the community. Participants discussed the challenges to creating community-university partnerships, possible solutions to these challenges, particular areas of need and how to expand UNF's community engagement efforts.
The meetings were quite successful in helping CCBL prioritize the challenges we face. As a result of the meetings, CCBL has determined the need for more regular and on-going communication with the local community. Beginning January 2012, a small group of community and UNF members will begin meeting as part of a Community Engagement Council (see above).

Government Shutdown

James Rosen & Carl Cameron
The Factor
began Wednesday's show with the latest on the government shutdown. Fox News correspondent Carl Cameron reported on a just-concluded meeting between President Obama and Congressional leaders. "After the meeting," Cameron said, "Speaker Boehner came out and said the President told them he wasn't going to negotiate. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid then came out a few minutes later and they were happy to answer questions and blame Republicans. We're no closer to re-opening the government, it's not going to happen this week. Clearly Democrats feel they have Republicans cornered and they're not likely to give them any sort of mercy by offering a compromise." FNC's James Rosen pointed out that Democrats are also catching flak. "Some people look at this say President Obama and the Democratic Party are more eager to negotiate with Iran's Hassan Rouhani than with John Boehner. But from the President's point of view, why should he set a precedent and let the Republicans cherry-pick something to attach every time there is a routine funding bill?"
The Factor
flayed both sides, saying, "This is embarrassing, Albania works better than this."
Impact Segment
Obamacare not Read for Primetime
Kirsten Powers & Kate Obenshain
"There are so many problems attached to the new Affordable Care Act that it's nearly impossible to list them all. Yesterday was the first day for the government health insurance exchanges, but many Americans could not get through. Also, the feds will not verify income on the exchanges, so you can apply for subsidies even if you're making $18-million a year. And then there's your doctor - is he or she going to take government-mandated health guidance? Many doctors say no, which may lead to a shortage of physicians and longer waits to be treated. The shutdown over Obamacare is sending another signal to the world that this country is chaotic. As Talking Points has suggested, the sane thing would be for President Obama to give individuals the same treatment he has given some corporations; that is, a one-year waiver for signing up. If he would agree to that, the Republicans would stop the funding chaos. So there you have it: Obamacare is a mess, the government shutdown is embarrassing, and there is a sane compromise available."
Democrat Kirsten Powers and Republican Kate Obenshain evaluated the Talking Points and the mess in Washington. "Your idea is terrible," Powers declared. "You're saying Obamacare would keep running but there would be no individual mandate, but you need the individual mandate to draw younger and healthier people into the pool. Otherwise you'll just have premiums going up for everybody else. You can't do this without individual mandates." Obenshain predicted that many young and healthy folks will be turned off by all the glitches in the exchanges. "Young people who go to the websites and are not able to sign up are not going to come back in a couple of weeks. And you're absolutely right that there's no incentive for young people to sign up. Obama's promise was a lie, average Americans are seeing their health care costs increase."
Personal Story Segment
Criticizing Obamacare

Dr. Ben Carson
For another view of Obamacare,
The Factor
welcomed pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson, a favorite among many conservatives. "We shouldn't be rolling out a program that people have no idea about," he stated. "I can think of multiple ways that would cost less money and afford people better health care." Carson revealed that he has recently been scrutinized by the IRS and implied that it was for political reasons. "They said they wanted to investigate some investment property I have. When they found all the i's were dotted and all the t's were crossed, they said, let's just do a general audit of everything. The freedom of our citizens is being threatened and I think this is more serious than Watergate or Iran-Contra."
The Factor
recalled a similar experience: "I was audited three years in a row in the Clinton administration, and I finally told my accountant that if they did it again we would sue. I was convinced that I was being audited for political reasons, and I think you are convinced that you were also."
Factor Follow Up Segment
"Killing Jesus" Critique
Candida Moss
Notre Dame University theology professor Candida Moss has taken issue with "Killing Jesus," saying the book should have identified Jesus a socialist who would favor free health care and income redistribution. "Your book is great for drawing attention to Jesus," Moss began, "but I am missing the social teachings of Jesus. The most consistent social teaching of the New Testament was that the wealthy give away their possessions in order to help the poor. Jesus told people that in order to go to heaven they have to give up their possessions."
The Factor
explained that the book is not a study of theology: "This is a history, it's not a religious book. We did make it dramatically clear that Jesus was for the poor, but your saying that he was a socialist is not theologically sound. If you're telling me that no one can own anything or they're not going to heaven, I'm going to say you're a loon."
Miller Time Segment
The D-Man Sounds off on the Government Shutdown

Dennis Miller
Dennis Miller opined on the news that both NBC and CNN have canceled films about Hillary Clinton. "They shut it down," he joked, "because they didn't want their mini-series bias for Hillary to get in the way of their regular nightly newscast bias for Hillary." Miller moved on to the government shutdown and took aim at both sides. "The thing about the Republican brain trust is that I don't trust their brains. And any time something is named after a guy, i.e. Obamacare, and he doesn't want to sign up for it, that's a really bad tea leaf. But they shut down the zoo, so all you pro-animal lefties who see the zoo as cruel should see a silver lining. I'm not worried about the shutdown, I'm worried about when they start it back up."

Shocking Video
Martha MacCallum
FNC anchor Martha MacCallum screened footage from DeLand, Florida, where local police killed a fleeing man when they ran him over with their cruiser. "The police say they pulled this guy over because he didn't have his seat belt on," she reported, "and then he panicked and ran. According to a passenger in the car, he said, 'I can't go back to jail again.' He did have a record of forgery and theft, and it appears he was very afraid that he would have to go back to jail. The chief of police fired the cop instantly, so clearly he feels there was a crime here."
The Factor
added that the incident could ignite racial tension: "The man's family has hired Benjamin Crump, who was Trayvon Martin's lawyer. We know this shouldn't have happened."
Factor Mail
Viewers sound off
Kevin Dunn, Charleston, SC:
"Mr. O'Reilly, your compromise idea to Senator Cruz was pure trash. That's not the way the insurance market works."
Jim Raue, Kentwood, MI:
"Senator Cruz and the Republicans must represent us and we don't want Obamacare."
Karsten Mueller, Phoenix, AZ:
"Obamacare reminds me of Prohibition. Bad law that will be repealed."
Loraine Isenberger, Salida, CO:
"Colmes is right. It is more than just a dysfunctional family situation. The culture of the neighborhood creates problems as well."

Through the listening glass
When you receive an e-mail from Japan or download a file from a server in Finland, you take international communications for granted. But did you ever think what that message has to go through to get to your computer?
Most likely, it is glass.
By the year 2000, 80 percent of international communications traveled through undersea fiber optic cables. Due to low-cost, high-density glass fibers, advances in technology and the explosion of the Internet, that figure had increased 40 times since 1988.
An average undersea fiber optic cable is about 2.7 inches in diameter and weighs about 7 pounds per foot. From the inside out it might be a bundle of glass fibers in petroleum jelly inside a copper or aluminum tube. The tube is coated in polycarbonate, wrapped in an aluminum water barrier, strengthened with stranded steel wires wrapped in mylar tape, and the whole thing is sheathed by polyethylene.
As of 2003, submarine cables linked all the continents except Antarctica. The northern branch of the Gemini cable, for example, connects Charleston, R.I., with Porthcurno, England. Gemini's southern branch goes from Manasquan, N.J., to Porthcurno. The ARCOS-1 cable connects Miami with 14 countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean.
One of the busiest communications facilities in the world is a small, nondescript building owned by AT&T in the seaside town of Tuckerton, N.J. It is a hub for undersea cables coming ashore. Myriad phone calls and data flow through that humble structure from Europe, the Caribbean and South America and are distributed to customers in the United States.
It has been suggested that these communications hubs make a juicy target for terrorists. In fact in the fictional thriller "Breaking Point" by Richard A. Clarke, the former Clinton administration anti-terror czar, an attack on the United States begins with destruction of such communications nodes in an attempt to bring down the Internet.
But I digress.
Fiber optic cables can be made of plastic, glass or a combination of the two, but glass is usually preferred for long-distance communications. Glass has less attenuation, a fancy word for loss of a signal as it flows through the fiber. All fiber optic cables have much less attenuation than copper wire.
Signals inside a fiber optic cable are carried by light. The light stays in the fibers because the glass is coated with a plastic that makes the walls act like mirrors that reflect light back into the center. Over long stretches, amplifiers pick up the light pulses and "push" them along.
Signals are sent into the fiber by lasers at one end flashing on and off, producing the 1s and 0s of digital communications. The lasers can turn on and off several billion times a second.
Of course, the system isn't foolproof. Undersea cables can be broken by fishing trawlers, anchors, undersea avalanches and even shark bites.
In December three cables on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea were broken and international phone and Internet service in parts of the Mideast and southern Asia were disrupted. The villain was thought to be an anchor. A break like this one can take about 10 days to fix.
So the next time you get an e-mail from a friend in South America and it seems to get to you in a flash, that is exactly how it got there -- in a bunch of laser flashes.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series – 2002-2006
Think Metal Gear but way more realistic. As badass undercover agent Sam Fisher - voiced by the equally badass Michael Ironside - you lurk in the shadows, gather intelligence and eliminate terrorists. Enemy alerts or deaths even result in an incredible difficulty spike. The second game Pandora Tomorrow introduced the awesome multiplayer mode where two spies take on two soldiers.
The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Oblivion – 2002-2006
The giant open-ended adventure RPG pretty much lets you do whatever you want when completing your missions. Parts III and IV - Morrowind and Oblivion respectively - introduced playing as thieves and rogues.
Sly Cooper series – 2002-2005
Sly is a cel-shaded stealth platformer for the PS2. As a thief, you sneak around towns and taking part in heists. Because you're a raccoon with little endurance, you try to avoid combat as much as possible.
Beyond Good & Evil – 2003
One of the most endearing aspects of this charming adventure is that while you do have natural ass-kicking skills, you must rely on your sneaking techniques and photojournalist skills in order to uncover a sinister plot.
Manhunt series – 2003, 2007
Think Running Man meets snuff films. Built on the GTA engine, you play as a deranged killer taking refuge in the shadows. Did we mention you're encouraged to brutally murder your pursuers with deadly objects like plastic bags and scythes?
Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness – 2003
The sixth game in the TR series and first on the PS2 enabled you to do some sneaking about. Largely forgettable because of how crappy it was.
Hulk – 2003
In between the awesome smash-everything-that-moves levels, you'll also play as alter-ego Bruce Banner in some slow-ass stealth levels.
Rogue Ops – 2003
Think Metal Gear and Splinter Cell, but with a female lead. Now think that this game isn't all that good.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – 2004
This sequel utilized gameplay introduced in the original Manhunt - released a year prior. One mission had us swimming toward a tanker while avoiding spotlights. Another mission tasked you with utilizing shadows to your advantage to pull off a skilled assassination. Gangsta!
Far Cry series – 2004-2008
Two completely different games share many of the same elements. In part one, you need to navigate a wide-open island stronghold while engaging the almost superhuman AI enemies any way you want. Part two is similar, but switch island for African savanna.
Psi-Ops – 2004
Think straight-forward shooter but with Force powers. Okay, "psychic powers." You can use these powers to progress through the game. For example, Remote Viewing enables you to have an out-of-body experience and see where enemies are. Our favorite is Mind Control where you can make bad guys kill themselves.
Siren series – 2004-2008
Siren mixes action, stealth and survival horror in order to survive attack from the aggressive Shibito (think zombies). Depending on the character you play as in any given segment, you'll need to rely on hiding and sight jacking (seeing with the Shibito's eyes) for safe passage.
Second Sight – 2004
Powers you earn in this thriller such as Psi Pulse (lightning melee attack) or Possession enable you to take out enemies without causing alarm.

Ferrer Hands Spain Advantage; Almagro Edges Isner
by ATP Staff
Parque Hermanos Castro, Gijon, Spain (clay – outdoor)
David Ferrer maintained his unbeaten record in Davis Cup clay-court rubbers (15-0) by beating American Sam Querrey 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 in just over three hours on Friday in the semi-finals. Ferrer has a 20-4 record overall for Spain.
"I think the first set, he was playing more aggressive than me. I broke him the first game but he played good in the final [part] of the first set," assessed Ferrer. "In the second set, I broke the first game and I played more consistent and solid... I could have lost the fourth set. He had a lot of chances. I was very focussed on every break point down. Finally I broke him in the last game."
Nicolas Almagro outlasted John Isner 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in four hours and 16 minutes to extend Spain's advantage heading into Saturday's doubles rubber.
"It was very tough," Almagro said. "I think he served really good. I didn't feel very comfortable at the court when he was serving. But we are happy because it's Friday and we're 2-0 up."
Almagro converted three of his 19 break points and won 77 per cent of his first serve points to notch his second straight win over the American, having won their second-round encounter at Wimbledon last year.
"I think I missed three volleys in that last game and I should've made all of them. So, maybe, fatigue made those routine shots a little harder," said Isner. "That was really disappointing because I did such a good job the whole fourth and fifth set of just hanging in there and I just kind of gave it away at the end."
The defending champion Spaniards last lost a home tie in 1999 against Brazil. Five-time titlist Spain has won 25 straight ties on clay since that defeat. Italy has the longest run of home wins with 28 from 1949 to 1964.

An investigation by ABCNews.com has found there are no state or federal regulations that require BP Oil, or any other company, to monitor or protect against corrosion along key pipelines at the nation's largest oil field. Earlier this week, the discovery of severely corroded pipeline forced the shutdown of BP's operations at Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. The lines carry eight percent of the domestic crude oil production. The shutdown has prompted members of Congress to call for more federal oversight. "The Department of Transportation needs to be given clear legal authority to implement minimum maintenance standards so these shutdowns can be avoided," said Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA), a senior member on the House Energy and Commerce committee. Alaskan officials say that while BP is not required to protect against corrosion for aboveground pipelines, it is required to protect underground flow lines. A state-commissioned review of BP's practices in 2004 found that the corrosion program for those lines is "effective and exceeds common industry practice." Lydia Miner, an official with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, says the agency now finds it hard to agree with that statement.

New guy here with two beautiful GSD puppies.
Hi, I have had a few GSD over the years, but this is the first time I have had two puppies at the same time. Got a brother and sister from the same litter, born around Halloween so they are about 11 weeks old.
Lots of fun, they love and play with each other all the time. Kolt and Kristmas are the names. I have always named my dogs with a K (Kona, K9, Kana, Kuai, Keno) so I am continuing that theme. |

Don't own one but have shot several Wilsons and they are great guns!! For the money I think Les Baer is a better value. Ed Brown is another good choice. Browns aren't known for their finish as the others but man what shooters. If you can afford a Wilson I say go for it you won't be disappointed.
In my view Wilson Combat, Les Baer, Ed Brown, you just can't go wrong. =)
I've definitely considered les baers and Ed browns also. I know any one of those would be an excellent choice. But I always seem to find my way back to that Wilson CQB. It's just a dream right now but hopefully it'll be a reality one day thanks for the feedback guys!
Wilson is the Caddy to Les Baur's Lincoln. Ed Brown is the Chevrolet. They are all op flight, but Wilson is my favorite of the bunch.
Wish I had the chance to spend some time with all three at the range! My attraction to the Wilson combat is cosmetic only. And also what I've read about them. Kinda shallow... I know
I have a Wilson cqb compact. I can honestly say this is THE best hand gun I have ever owned. I beat this thing to a pulp and it keeps comming back for more. This is my ccw gun and I trust it not only with my life but my families also.
Hey Alpha! Did you take that picture standing on your head?

Having a screw loose.
When I got to work that day, I had no idea that my squadron would discover a discrepancy for which there were no checklists, Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMS) specifications, or inspection criteria. I thought it would be just like any other day, as an Airframes Collateral Duty Inspector (CDI). Usually, I am called on to do everything from phase maintenance, to assisting with the troubleshooting of pilot discrepancies on Functional Check Flights (FCF). On this day I was working as a troubleshooter on a post phase aircraft, helping out where I could and trying to finish signoffs as efficiently as possible so that we could get this aircraft flying again.[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
So far the aircraft's progress was slow but steady. There were a few discrepancies that were being corrected by other shops but the ground turns were progressing rapidly. After the last set of ground turns, the pilots had a discrepancy of feedback chatter in the flight controls. Normally the cause of such a discrepancy is basic and relatively easy to troubleshoot. But just to make sure I didn't miss anything, I headed out to the aircraft and opened the hydraulics bay to see if anything unusual jumped out at me.
As hydraulic power was applied I watched the flight controls move through their entire range of motion. Initially I'd thought that a faulty pump may have been the culprit when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a movement that didn't make sense. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the entire pilot assist servo base plate shifting back and forth as the flight controls moved. There are eight bolts that should have held the base plate tightly against the skin of the aircraft. Instead, the bolts were loose and the plate was rubbing back and forth on the airframe, easily visible to the eye. Needless to say this was NOT supposed to happen.
Realizing that although this was not the cause of the original flight control discrepancy, it was a serious problem that needed immediate attention. When I tried to look up inspection criteria and torque specifications for the attachment bolts, I came up short. I couldn't find any amplifying information anywhere in IETMS or any other inspection cards. After additional research, the inspection of the base plate is not called for in any inspection cycle, either at the squadron or depot level. The only time the bolts are ever inspected is during initial production at the plant. This aircraft had flown over 3,200 hours and there was a distinct possibility that the base plate had never been reinspected.
Luckily, the damage to the aircraft was slight because the discrepancy was discovered early. Had it continued, abrasions to the airframe would have continued and likely caused a separation or catastrophic failure of the flight controls. Fortunately, insufficient time had passed and only minor abrasion and surface corrosion had occurred where the plate was slipping.
The original flight control feedback gripe was later corrected, even though it was unrelated to the shifting base plate. The aircraft was once again up and flying and my fellow maintainers and I were all the wiser in discovering a gap in the time tested maintenance inspection cycle. The experience emphasized the importance of the maintenance troubleshooter. For every discrepancy, even the seemingly insignificant ones, avoid jumping to conclusions and take a deep breath before you turn a wrench or replace a component. Focusing my attention on the surrounding area and looking for "anything out of the ordinary" allowed me to identify a potentially hazardous situation. Following the incident, my new mantra is, "If you expect the unexpected, you will never be surprised".

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." -Walt Disney
I think I'll go have some more chicken-n-waffles!
Here's something. At my father-in-law's house last Sunday, while many of us were watching golf, some baseball and then the NBA Finals (taking a brief timeout for barbeque dinner)...Several people, including kids, were playing "Disney-Pixar" Monopoly. I know Monopoly has lots of different versions now from the classic.
I just glanced over a few times, but it looked like fun. No railroads, but I guess you still got 200 for passing go and could wind up at Sculley's House. And instead of houses you put up traffic cones on your property.
I've become bored with regular Monopoly. Even the speed game. This might bear checking out.
