In the garden
Caring for perennials this winter
In fall, gardeners often start thinking about perennials either because they want to add additional plants to their gardens or because they need to take at least some of them out of their garden beds.
Perennials are plants that don't die after one season but continue to live year after year. The category actually includes trees, shrubs, lawns, hardy bulbs, some vegetables and houseplants, and a large number of plants that are grown for their ornamental flowers or foliage. Many of these ornamentals are called "herbaceous perennials," meaning the tops of the plants die in fall and come up again in spring.
Plants that live through the winter are "hardy."
Many people plant perennials thinking they can save themselves a lot of work in the future. Plant them once, and they'll continue to come up. But perennials are not maintenance-free. They typically require feeding, staking, and cutting back after they bloom. Periodically, many of them also need to be dug up and divided.
"Usually I wait until we've had a heavy frost to start putting my garden to bed," says Henrico Master Gardener Erica Gilliam.
Gilliam says she cuts some plants in her garden back while leaving others. ""It's nice to get your garden cleaned up and looking better," says Gilliam, "But I leave some things up like the purple coneflowers because the birds eat them."
Gilliam also divides some of her perennials in fall, but tends to wait until spring for most. "The plants are smaller in spring, so it's easier," she says.
Perennials should be divided when they are dormant, according to the Virginia Cooperative Extension publication "Perennials: Culture, Maintenance and Propagation," either "just before a new season of growth, or in the fall so they can become established before the ground freezes."
Gilliam often shares plants with friends. "I've always heard that if you divide your plants and give them away to your friends, you can always go back to them if you lose your original plant," she says.
"My friends shared a lot of plants with me," says Gilliam. "In the first years, I used to have teas in my garden so my friends could come over and see their babies growing here."
Gilliam calls her garden a "colonial friendship cutting-garden," partly because many of the plants were given to her by friends, and partly because friends helped inspire the design.
"When we first moved here and friends came to visit, we took them to colonial sites around the state," says Gilliam, "and I got interested in the gardens." She was particularly inspired by Monticello, and today her garden includes many plants that would have been found in Thomas Jefferson's gardens interspersed with modern cultivars.
"Something is usually blooming in my garden from February to November," says Gilliam. "I like to cut them and bring the color into the house."
Though most perennials bloom for only a few weeks, combining plants that bloom at different times ensures continuous blooms.
Gilliam says some of the blooms in her garden also remind her of family members. "My peonies came from my mother," she says. "And the evening primroses."

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

CMA CGM Group said that the CMA CGM Marco Polo, the world's largest containership, began its first voyage on Wednesday, November 7, in Ningbo, China. The ship is a 16,000 TEU vessel, owned by CMA CGM, sailing under the UK flag. Built by DSME (Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering) in South Korea, the ship displays exceptional dimensions at 396 x 54m, with a draft of 16m. CMA CGM Marco Polo is the first of a series of three 16,000 TEU vessels, will to be named after great explorers. The delivery of the two next vessels is expected in 2013.
Operated on the emblematic line of the Group, the French Asia Line (FAL 1), the CMA CGM Marco Polo will – starting November 7 and ending January 23 – call at: Ningbo, Shanghai, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Chiwan, Yantian, Port Kelang, Tanger, Southampton, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam , Zeebrugge, Le Havre, Malta, Khor Al Fakkan, Jebel Ali and Ningbo.
FAL1 is part of a global network of eight CMA CGM services connecting Asia to Europe Atlantic, the most thorough offer on the market, and which is based on 29 vessels of 11,400 to 16,000 TEUs.
"It is with great pride that the CMA CGM Group launches this new vessel, which is the largest in the world," said Nicolas Sartini, CMA CGM Group Senior Vice President Asia-Europe Lines. "This launching reinforces the Group's strategy, which began 20 years ago, with the opening of its own offices in China, and continues today with 34 services going from China to Europe, to North and South America, to Australia and Africa, i.e. one departure every 5 hours."
The CGM Marco Polo is equipped with the latest cutting-edge environmental technology. It has an electronically controlled engine allowing for significantly reduced consumption of fuel (-3 percent, on average) and of lube oil (-25 percent). A twisted leading edge rudder improves the hydrodynamics of the vessel by optimizing water flow and significantly reducing energy expenditure as well as CO2 emissions. A pre-swirl stator facilitates the alignment of water flow upstream from the propeller in order to improve productivity. These innovative features make it possible to reduce by between two and four per cent the consumption of energy and atmospheric emissions.
The CGM Marco Polo also features an exhaust gas bypass system which improves its energy efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by 1.5 percent at low speeds. An optimized hull design also results in significantly improved propulsion through the water, while a ballast water treatment system preserves environmental biodiversity by preventing the release of chemicals into the sea.
BV has carried out extensive calculations of the dynamic structural response of the vessel at sea, taking into account whipping and springing, resulting in the granting of its WhiSP2 notation.

Overall, a very emotional and riveting film about a most unique performer.
Most likely, the viewer will want to know much more about Edith Piaf, let alone the other works of Marion Cotillard.
Piaf had an extraordinary life, was an extraordinary personality as well as being perhaps France's greatest singer.

Certainly a legendary performance and well-deserved Oscar win for Marion Cotillard. I think people will be talking about her work in LA VIE EN ROSE for years, though she is so gifted that she may well surpass this performance in the future.

Griffith eyes gold on last day of competition
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Day10-11 update
Team Griffith athletes can add to their outstanding medal tally as the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games moves into the final day of competition.
Cyclists Chloe Hosking and Kat Garfoot will ride for Australia in the women's road race. Garfoot already has a bronze medal from these Games after finishing third in the individual time trial.
Meanwhile, netballer Renae Hallinan is a big chance for gold when the Australian Diamonds take on New Zealand at 9.30 tonight (AEST) in what promises to be one of the great events of the 2014 Games.
Hallinan was a member of the Australian team that took the silver medal at the New Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games. Australia is looking to win netball gold for the first time since 2002.
The other big news will be tomorrow morning's closing ceremony, a time of reflection and celebration for all the athletes, but most significantly featuring the Flag Handover Ceremony during which the Gold Coast will officially take ownership of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Australia's athletes will have plenty to celebrate at tomorrow morning's closing ceremony of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

This a really fabulous peachy-pink color. I had been wanting to get this blush after finding out that it is a dupe for the LE/discontinued MAC blush "Instant Chic". Luckily I was able to get it in a swap which makes me love it even more!
It remains very true to color on my face. It does not pull red or orange at all. Its a true warm pink-peach with a very subtle rose undertone. Looks great on my warm-toned NC-30-35 skin. Highly pigmented yet not difficult to apply. Will likely last a long time. I find that it looks quite pretty with Bobbi Brown rich lip color in Peony Pink.
While Tarte advertises their Amazonian Clay blushes as 12 hour wear I think that is a wee bit of a stretch. Though it certainly gets at least 6 or 8. I very much prefer the amazonian clay blushes over their cheek stains which make my pores look enormous. I am interested in trying blushing bride next as it looks like a great dusty rose color for fall and winter

I love this blush, I have been using it all year and I still love it so much. I have a warm tan skin tone so this blush is super natural looking on me, which is exactly what I want. It is super pigmented but the blush is not very powdery so when I try to get some on a brush, it can be pretty difficult. Other than that, I love this blush, pigmented, long lasting, long wearing and very natural looking.

I have very pale Asian skin so I was a little hesitant to try this shade but having loved exposed for so long, I wanted to try another shade in this blush line. This color is really lovely! Nice and bright without looking scary and perfect for spring/summer. I think the coral tone will suit a lot of different ladies.

"Blissful" is a very warm peach (nearly coral) that still manages to look nice on my cool (neutral-leaning) very fair skin. It lasts at least nine hours on me, and it's true that a little goes a loooooong way--even when applying only half as much as I would with drugstore blushes, I ended up with clown cheeks. I've since purchased a Tarte brush to help me pick up less product, and it's working out nicely. I've been using it for two weeks now and the pan still looks brand new; I expect this will last me well over a year. Has a nice matte finish and imparts a lovely flush of color. I can't wait to try out a few more!

I bought this when I was in Ulta, gathering supplies to remove my calgels at home. I wanted a peachy, pinky color and liked the swatch I made on my wrist. I'm an olive-colored person, but untanned, so I wear a dusting of this to brighten up my complexion.
I really like it. It is matte and has a high color pay off. It stays on me all day at work. If I wear just a bit, I have a nice peachy glow for my yellowy olive skin.
If you think you need to see pigment on the brush to get an effect, you are not going to like what you do to your face. The powder really doesn't show on the brush. I would recommend tapping the brush on the pan and tapping it lightly to your face, blending after you've gotten the color you want. A little goes a long way. For real.

Blissful is the newest addition to my Tarte AC Blush collection. I also have Tipsy, Glisten, Dollface, and Exposed. I love them all. On my NC15/NARS Gobi skin, Blissful is a matte (but not dull) healthy peachy/pink color. As with the other AC blushes, it stays on all day and applies wonderfully. It's the perfect spring shade! I love the packaging of these blushes and have absolutely no complaints on that end. I do wish they were a bit more affordable, but that's just because I want to buy all of them; not because I don't think they're worth the price. :)

This is one of my favorite powder blushes for a few reasons:
1. It isn't super sparkly. I am not sure when that became a thing - but a lot of mineral products add a ton of unnatural shimmer.
2. The colour is very flattering. It looks very scary in the package, but it goes on in a sheer and buildable way. You definitely can overdo it with this colour though - so start light and add.
3. It lasts a long time - I wouldn't say 12 hours, but probably 6-8. Enough to get home from work and still have a bit of colour. Its the longest lasting powder I own and the next best thing to a stain.
4. It lasts a long time. I have had mine (using daily) for about 8-9 months. I still have some left.
5. It's (more) natural - I like tarte's approach to chemicals: less is more.
Downsides: it is expensive & if you drop it, it is definitely going to break - some products hold up a bit better to abuse (this stuff doesn't break from being carried around in your purse though).
Overall, I think this looks gorgeous on fair warm skin tones - but also beautiful on medium/olive skin with yellow undertones. It might look a bit weird if you had a really cool skin tone just because it might be a bit jarring. But that's just my opinion.

I love this blush! The color itself is perfect whether Its summer or winter time. Everyone is so crazy over NARS orgasm but I never saw anything great in it. Blissful is amazing and doesn't move or fade during the day!

I absolutely love this blush. I also have Dollface which I love just as much. The texture is very smooth, soft, and not at all powdery. It's quite pigmented so I like to use a fluffy brush rather than a dense brush to apply it. I have very pale (NW15) skin with pinkish undertones and the colour is a perfect peachy coral and really warms up my face and still looks natural. It seems to be universally flattering as I have seen tons of other people wearing it and they all looked lovely. I dropped it on ceramic floor by accident and the blush pan did pop out but nothing broke and the pan popped right back in because it's attached magnetically to the compact.

The color I got is named Blissful which is a universally great color. Warm enough to work with both fair skinned and medium toned girls. It gives a very nice pinkish flush and the staying power is good. Packaging wise, I like that it's slim enough for me to carry 2 blushes in my cosmetic purse. However, I wasn't too pleased that the actual blush tin inside the compact rotates each time I use it. I don't know if I got a dud product but it seems that the tin is not fully secured. Over-all, I would love to try out other shades from this line.

WGA Tells Members to Stop Writing for Comedy Central
The WGA West on Monday issued a stop-work order against Central Productions, the production unit of Comedy Central, telling members in a letter that the company repeatedly had misrepresented to writers that projects were guild-covered when they were not.
As a result, the guild has invoked its working rules and ordered members not to work on Central shows without verifying that the work is in fact under a guild contract. The guild is in the middle of negotiations with Central for an overall deal.
"We are writing to alert you," said an e-mail to members, "that you must refrain from writing for Central Productions ... without first contacting the WGAW contracts department to ensure that the writing is guild-covered."
A spokesperson for the Viacom-owned network did not address the allegations but said, "We're continuing to move forward on our negotiations with the Writers Guild and are hopeful that we'll come to an agreement soon."
According to the guild, in 2007, writers on five Central shows organized to gain WGA coverage. The company refused to sign an overall deal with the guild but signed individual Letters of Adherence for each of the shows. From 2008-11, the guild signed agreements covering 37 additional productions, resulting in WGA coverage of all nonanimated shows on Comedy Central.
In late 2011, the guild says, it learned that 15 Central projects had been written without a guild contract in place, though the writers "were led to believe that the projects were guild-covered." After Central representatives pledged to change these practices, Letters of Adherence were negotiated retroactively for the 15 projects.
"No other major entertainment company has treated writers and their guild so cavalierly," the e-mail says.
As a result, the guild began negotiations with Central during the summer for an overall deal to eliminate the need for project-by-project Letters of Adherence. The guild says it will be seeking "industry-standard residuals formulas," among other things.
The e-mail is signed by guild president Chris Keyser, vp Howard Rodman, secretary-treasurer Carl Gottlieb and executive director David Young. It ends by acknowledging that "it is never easy to ask a fellow member to stop working" and adds "while we might rightly say to Central Productions, 'Shame on you,' what we say instead is: no more. Without a contract, there will be no work. And we must say that together -- all of us, no exceptions -- as a guild."

"Unbalancable by Design"
Alright I'm about to go into a little bit of a rage mode rant here so here we go. Balance patch notes are up, and we're seeing that Riot intends to nerf Talon and Riven. Fine, whatever. I don't agree with the extent of the nerfs, but that's not what this is about. This is about Blitzcrank, Mumu, and Shen all getting off scot free in the patch notes.
Again. The fact of the matter is...wait for it...
These champions are almost always picked or banned. They are broken.
There's no excuse for this. These champions kits are not inherently unbalanceable.. I invite anyone who says so to look at Vladimir. Resourceless champion with infinite sustain, inherently impossible to balance by nerfs to numbers alone. At least, that's what people were saying when Vladimir was released, then nerfed to trash tier, then slowly buffed and adjusted over time with varying success.
And here we stand today. Nobody is crying for Vladimir nerfs, and nobody is calling for Vladimir buffs. I would go as far as to say he is one of the most balanced champions currently in the League. With minimal mechanical changes to his kit, he was balanced solely by finding a good balance between his numbers and the innate power of his kit.
Shen was garbage when I started this game, despite his ultimate being more or less the same. Yet players will often point to his ultimate as something that makes him "unbalanceable by design", when in fact that very same ultimate was not enough to save him from the scrap heap without excessive buffs due to how energy starved he was and how pathetic his non ult skills were.
Blitzcrank was never picked when I started. He had very high mana costs, and overdrive resulted in an "underdrive" speed debuff. There weren't any noticeable complaints about Blitzcrank either.
Amumu has always been broken in season 2 and 3, but was under the radar for a while due to how difficult season 1 jungle was for him to clear and his being a terrible laner.
All I'm asking is for an attempt to be made to balance these champions. Champions do not need to follow a homogenous cookie cutter formula to be balanced; characters like Vladimir are proof that delicate number tapping can eventually result in balance despite innate kit power. I want to see a lot more numbers in patch notes than I currently do, rather than promises of reworks in a year.
Give Heimer a small buff while he waits for his rework. Give Sion one of his AP ratios back. Give Xerath some more damage on arcanopulse. Reduce the cooldown on Karma's mantra. Increase Brand's damage on his passive. I frankly do not care. We do not need to leave champions in a state of being clearly broken or clearly useless for a year while we sit twiddling our thumbs for a rework. It is not hard to change numbers in the coding as a temporary fix while you look for a better solution.
Vlad is still broken
Blitz shen and amumu arent broken, people just dont know how to counter them.
You'd better be careful with that sense making after what happened to the last guy that made sense.
We don't talk about that guy.
almost always picked or banned =/= broken

Press release from Business Wire
New Cub® Foods 2014 Food Trends Forecast Says Minnesotans Will Buy More Local with Health in Mind

 Area Food Experts Predict Minnesotans Will Crave Healthier, Handheld, Local Fare with a Dash of Purple Pride

Monday, February 03, 2014
New Cub® Foods 2014 Food Trends Forecast Says Minnesotans Will Buy More Local with Health in Mind14:07 EST Monday, February 03, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire) -- Cub® Foods, a trusted local resource for fresh, quality food, recently polled Minnesota-based chefs, culinary experts, food critics, bloggers and food enthusiasts for key food trend predictions for 2014. Continued growth in demand for local and organic foods, as well as a focus on healthier food choices, especially those for kids, are predicted to be among the top food trends this year. When it comes to specific foods, look for ancient grains like quinoa, along with kale and other "superfoods" to find their way onto more plates in the months ahead.
The 2014 Cub Foods Food Trends Forecast also shows that Minnesotans will pay more attention to portion sizes, snacking more, rather than eating full meals. This trend will also serve to reshape dinner parties as hosts focus on offering a variety of healthier options and taste experiences, moving from traditional full-course meals to small-plate, tapas-style affairs.
"Food trends are great indicators of broader social trends in our community," said Darren Caudill, vice president of merchandising and sales for Cub Foods. "Our firsthand view into the grocery shopping habits and food preferences of local consumers allows us not only to respond to but to anticipate their evolving needs and interests."
Predictions for the 2014 Minnesota food scene include:
- Local, Farm-to-Table and Organic. Fresh and local, as well as organic foods are among the most significant trends, as the desire for simple, more natural and locally sourced foods continues to grow.Demand for gluten-free options will also increase.
- Handheld and Healthy. Handheld, transportable meals and snacks will take new shape as people will seek healthier items with quality ingredients that they can tote along with them. From portable breakfast foods to lunchbox-sized items to fun and nutritious snacks for the whole family, on-the-go is the way to go.
- Purple Pride Veggies. Several experts cited increasing interest and demand for purple vegetables such as purple green beans and purple carrots. Perhaps a fresh start for the Minnesota Vikings this year is driving the increased interest in purple veggies?
- On the Rise. Ancient grains, kale, superfoods and greens will appear in more dishes. In addition, businesses that specialize in making one type of food or drink (e.g., cheese, distilleries) will gain popularity. We'll also see more whole animal (nose to tail) served.
- BIY (Brew It Yourself) Projects. Homebrewing continues to take hold in the Twin Cities as more people seek neighborhood acclaim as its master brewer. Look for more home dinner parties centered around pairing homebrews with food.
- Small Is the New Big. Look for smaller servings to start nudging out bigger portions. Snacking will emerge as a replacement to traditional meals, particularly at lunch. Small party foods also will be big. Instead of sit-down dinners, demand will grow for healthy, yet tasty alternatives to traditional party fare for tasting and sampling.
- Self-preservation. The home also becomes a food factory as more people experiment with emerging preparation techniques such as quick pickling, canning and smoking.
- Marvelously Multicultural. Latin and Spanish ingredients and dishes are expected to be popular choices in the Twin Cities this coming year. Of course, they will be organic and healthy and, perhaps, presented as a fusion with another cultural flavor.
- What's for Mealtime? For breakfast, we'll eat more eggs, and for lunch, we'll experiment with unique, gourmet, artisan sandwiches.

I grew up in Southern California and have always loved being close to the water.
Jason Lopez purchased this villa in 2010
Having grown up in Southern California, when the opportunity came to purchase an additional property as a place for friends and family to stay when they were visiting, my wife and I jumped at the chance. Orange County provides the perfect balance between activities and relaxation. Laguna Beach is known for its artistic nature, and this location is within walking distance of art galleries, fantastic restaurants and the beautiful beach. Whether you prefer keeping busy or just laying out on the deck or the beach, this location is ideal for both.
Amazing ocean views are available here from your private deck. You can choose to spend some time on the beach, getting massages on your own deck, or enjoying the sights and sounds of historic Laguna Beach. Grocery services are available for those who want to sit back and relax. This is an idyllic vacation home. Come on out and enjoy it!
This warm and serene gem on the beach exceeds my expectations! I am essentially a SoCal gal at heart but born & raised in the Northeast. The ocean is where my heart is (east coast or west coast) and this property showcases it in its glorious unobstructed views of the sunset and the waves lulling me to sleep at night. The flat is so perfect - it highlights beach living coupled with a serene & warm design with sort of a swanky villa panache. And, yet, you are in the heart of Laguna Beach and all of its liveliness - shops, restaurants, music, art, culture, etc (and the surfers :). Jason, my first contact, is the reason I chose this vacay spot - he is professional, informative, and all about making this an experience! On the premises, Bianca also has a passion for her guests here and just lovely to have as a go-to. When she's not here, Ryan is just as nice and responsive. Need I say more?! Laguna Beach Baby at The Retreat - life is good!
I can't say enough good things about The Retreat. I usually visit at least once a year and have stayed in most of the villas they have to offer at one time or another. I stayed in the Palazzo D'Stella over New Year's and this unit will not disappoint. The Palazzo is unique as it is separate from the others with its own private patio and fire pit. The accommodations are top notch including a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Fabulous ocean views, a shared patio area directly overlooking the ocean, and walking distance to all that Laguna has to offer – what more can you ask for. The staff (Bianca and Jason), go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable and some of the nicest people I have met. I will certainly continue to return to The Retreat and highly recommend it.

achievements module for crtrdg games
achievements module for games
Goals for crtrdg-goal:
- Quick and dirty little achievements system for crtrdg games.
- node.js
- browserify / beefy
- crtrdg-gameloop (or possibly another method of animating the canvas with requestAnimationFrame that emits
Getting started
Install node if you haven't already.
Install browserify and beefy:
npm install -g browserify beefy
Create an index.html file:
crtrdg goal test
Create a game.js file:
Purpose of
Almost every javascript game / animation library I've found bundles things like requestAnimationFrame polyfill, gameloop, entities, abstract drawing methods, keyboard/mouse input, vector math, and more into one entangled library. If I don't like how the library handles just one of those components, I'm stuck with dead library weight, and sometimes it's difficult to replace a library's methods.
So what if each element of 2d games were broken up into it's own modules / repositories?
With inspiration from voxel.js, crtrdg is a collection of javascript modules used for developing 2d games.
As I learned more about node.js, the core events module, and browserify, I realized the ideal api for making simple 2d games could be based on node's events module. So you'll see a lot of crtrdg modules exposing an api that includes
.on('some event', function(){}), which seems to make a lot of sense for games.
crtrdg modules:
- Fork this repository.
- Create a branch for you changes.
- Include tests if applicable.
- Add/edit documentation for any changes.
- Submit a pull request.

Innovation Act
Has patent reform really hurt the patent trolls?
The debate continues whether more reform is needed, but further developments will occur, both in Congress and the courts and inside counsel need to stay alert.
How district courts have responded to the Supreme Court's fee shifting rulings
District courts have shown a greater willingness to award attorney fees to defendants who are forced to incur unnecessary expenses to defend against frivolous claims.
House IP committee looks at Supreme Court patent cases
Now that Goodlatte has introduced a new version of his patent reform bill, it is time for the House Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet to consider the current state of patents and patent litigation.
BSA celebrates The Innovation Act to address patent abuse
The Innovation Act will help curb abusive patent behavior by lowering incentives to file frivolous suits and put bad actors at financial risk when they file suits to make windfall profits through threats.
House appears ready to approve patent reform again
The bill once again tries to curb abuses by non-practicing entities, also known as "patent trolls," which frequently file lawsuits with the hope of getting fast payments from an established company.
Rep. Goodlatte to introduce new patent reform bill before House of Representatives
Less than one year after his patent reform vehicle Innovation Act withered in the Senate, Virginia Congressman Bob Goodlatte is set to introduce a similar bill in the House of Representatives.
The non-practicing entity: A troll by any other name?
These free-wheeling litigants are able to dive into lawsuits without the costs and risks that are so often the checks and balances of our legal system. But defining the abusers is challenging which, in turn, makes anti-troll legislation difficult.
Examining proposed legislation to reduce the discovery burden in patent cases
These measures have the potential to make patent litigation vastly more efficient, but whether they work will depend on how they are implemented by the individual courts.
An inside look at Qcue's patent battle
A competitor filed two continuations with U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on a patent designed for online music sales, claimed it was "important to pricing in the sports, entertainment, and hospitality industries."
President Obama pushes Congress to pass anti-patent troll bill
President Barack Obama has called for Congress to pass legislation aimed at reining in what many companies complain are "frivolous" patent infringement lawsuits. The President announced a blueprint for reducing the number of lawsuits in June and reiterated support for the effort in his State of the Union Address

Erosion and Sediment Control in Maryland
The effects of erosion and sedimentation are well known. Typically, when disturbed earth is exposed to the impacts of rainfall, there is an increase in the volume and velocity of runoff. This sets off a chain reaction that results in the transport and deposition of sediment, reduced stream capacity, and ultimately increased stream scour and flooding. Additionally, suspended sediment contributes to a decline in water quality by blocking sunlight, reducing photosynthesis, decreasing plant growth, destroying bottom dwelling species' habitat, carrying attached pollutants such as phosphorous, and so on. The list of negative impacts is long.
Legislation, established to protect Maryland waters from various pollutants, has existed since the early 1930s. In 1961, the Maryland's Attorney General determined sediment to be a pollutant. This determination was based upon an interpretation of a 1957 State statute and authorized sediment control regulations to be developed. A statewide sediment control program was mandated in 1970 when the General Assembly passed the Sediment Control Law. From a historical perspective, Maryland's incentive for having an erosion and sediment control program is the Chesapeake Bay. From a practical standpoint, federal involvement via the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) provides an incentive for State and local program development. The Chesapeake Bay initiatives in 1983, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 319 Nonpoint Source Program, and the NPDES municipal stormwater program have stimulated additional emphasis.The program developed in 1970 is essentially the same that exists today with an approved plan being required for any earth disturbance of 5,000 square feet or more and 100 cubic yards or more; plan approval exemptions for agricultural uses; plan review and approval by local Soil Conservation Districts (SCD); grading ordinance adoption by local jurisdictions; utility construction inspection by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC); and criminal penalties for sediment pollution. Various programmatic improvements have included requiring sediment control plan approval prior to issuing grading and building permits (1973); requiring training and certification of "responsible personnel" (1980); shifting enforcement authority from local to State control and establishing delegation criteria (1984); requiring NPDES stormwater discharge permits for construction activity (1991); subjecting agricultural land management practices to enforcement action for sediment pollution (1992); and establishing a maximum grading unit of 20 acres (2011).
Maryland's Erosion Control Law and regulations specify the general provisions for program implementation; procedures for delegation of enforcement authority; requirements for erosion and sediment control ordinances; exemptions from plan approval requirements; requirements for training and certification programs; criteria for plan submittal, review, and approval; and procedures for inspection and enforcement. Proper design, installation, and maintenance of erosion and sediment control practices is essential to having an effective program. MDE has established minimum criteria for effective erosion and sediment control practices. The 2011 Standards and Specifications for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control are incorporated by reference into State regulations and serve as the official guide for erosion and sediment control principles, methods, and practices. Maryland's online Responsible Personnel Certification course ('green card class') is currently undergoing maintenance and enhancements. It is expected that the course will be available by April 15, 2015. Please check back at around that time. If you have any questions or concerns contact Maria Warburton at 410-537-3632 or email@example.com
Responsible Personnel Certification is required by anyone overseeing the installation and maintenance of erosion and sediment control practices. This Certification is now available through an on-line training course developed by MDE. It is best to use Google Chrome as the browser for accessing the course. Additionally, when registering, there are options at the bottom of the page to select which set of videos to watch. Users should select the compressed videos where a slower internet speed (e.g., 2 - 3 MB per second or less) is encountered. The on-line course can be accessed here:

"He accepted it, but he's still mad," Luna replied.
"Well, taking me out on fancy dates isn't going to do it," Rose scoffed.
"He accepted it, but he's still mad," Luna replied.
"Well, taking me out on fancy dates isn't going to do it," Rose scoffed.
"Maybe I should speak to him." Jason suggested while looking at Luna.
"Well, what else?" Shinn asked.
"It wouldnt' do any good," Luna sighed, "Just let him be."
"For one, I never wanted these fancy dates," Rose sighed, "I don't need money or riches to be happy. I want someone I can trust, love, be happy with. I still don't feel like I can trust you completely yet."
Jason looked at his phone fo ra moment and sighed. "I mean yeah dad was pretty bothered at first but he's more happy about the fact he'll have a gran...by the way he and mom might come visit from time to time."
"Well they're not just fancy dates, I like spending time with you." Shinn nodded his head. "Though I guess I shouldn't overdo it, I'm having trouble with my payments."
"I would think so since their grandson is born now," Luna replied.
"Exactly my point," Rose sighed.
"Yes." Jason chuckled. "They'll help us out a lot."
Shinn looked at Rose for a moment. "Okay forget fancy dinners." he chuckled. "How about tomorrow you come to my place and we watch some movies?"
"Good," Luna sighed in relief.
"Not my cup of tea," Rose replied simply.
"And Carey'll be here too." Jaswon smiled before looking down at Vincent with a smile.
"Oh I know." Shinn said while smiling. "Do you like cooking?"
"Yeah," Luna sighed as she saw Vincent stirring in his sleep, "Looks like he's going to wake up."
"Depends on what it is," Rose answered blandly.
"That was quick." Jason pointed out.
"Well, how about instead of coming to dinner we make our own dinner?" Shinn suggested.
Vincent began crying as Luna held him closer and gently rocked him in her arms.
"Get some clothes for him out of my bag," Luna instructed, "Also, you can put his diaper on him."
"We just ate though," Rose answered.
"Um...okay." Jason scrambled through Luna's bag and began to take out clothes for Vincent to wear as well as diapers. "I hope I can do it right though."
"Not today, another day." Shinn pointed out. "Right now we should go to the hospital."
"You need to learn," Luna replied as she soothed Vincent.
"If you want," Rose responded as she nodded.
"True." Jason nodded his head. "I feel like I'll break him though." he pouted a bit. "I don't want to hurt him if I mess up."
"Well depends if you want t..." Shinn looked at Rose for a moment before lowering his glass. "Know what." he smiled and stood up. "How about we start from zero."
"Lay him on the bed and do it," Luna sighed.
"From zero?" Rose asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
