Firefox contains built-in Phishing and Malware Protection to help keep you safe online. These features will warn you when a page you visit has been reported as a Web Forgery of a legitimate site (sometimes called "phishing" pages), as a source of Unwanted Software or as an Attack Site designed to harm your computer (otherwise known as malware). This feature also warns you if you download files that are detected as malware.

What are Web Forgery/Phishing, Attack Sites Unwanted Software and Malware?
Web Forgery (also known as "Phishing")
This is a form of identity theft that occurs when a malicious website impersonates a legitimate one in order to trick you into giving up sensitive information such as passwords, account details, or credit card numbers. Phishing attacks usually come from email messages that attempt to lure the recipient into updating their personal information on fake but very real-looking websites. More information on phishing can be found at the Anti-Phishing Working Group, and there are a number of examples and resources available at the Wikipedia Phishing page.
Attack Sites
Attack Sites are websites that try to infect your computer with malware when you visit. These attacks can be very difficult to detect; even a site that looks safe may be secretly trying to attack you. Sometimes even the website's owner doesn't realize that the site has become an Attack Site.
Malware is software designed to infect your computer without your knowledge. Malware is most often used to steal personal information, send junk email (spam), or spread more malware.
You can learn more about malware and Attack Sites from StopBadware, a non-profit organization that works with partners like Mozilla to protect users from malware and other dangerous software.
Unwanted Software
Unwanted Software sites are websites that try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit). You can learn more about such software on the Google Unwanted Software Policy.
How does Phishing and Malware Protection work in Firefox?
Phishing and Malware Protection works by checking the sites that you visit against lists of reported phishing, unwanted software and malware sites. These lists are automatically downloaded and updated every 30 minutes or so when the Phishing and Malware Protection features are enabled. The technical details of the safe-browsing protocol are also publicly available.
When you download an application file, Firefox will verify the signature. If it is signed, Firefox then compares the signature with a list of known safe publishers. For files that are not identified by the lists as "safe" (allowed) or as "malware" (blocked), Firefox asks Google's Safe Browsing service if the software is safe by sending it some of the download's metadata.*
How do I use the Phishing and Malware Protection features?
These features are turned on by default so, unless your security settings have been changed, you are likely already using them. Phishing and Malware Protection optionspreferences can be found on the Security panel:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the button and then select .At the top of the Firefox window, click on the menu and then select .On the menu bar, click on the menu and select .At the top of the Firefox window, click on the menu and select .
Click the menu button and choose . .
- Click on the panel.
- Put a check mark next to the following settings to activate them:
- Block reported attack sites - this setting protects you from malware sites and files as well as unwanted software.
- Block reported web forgeries - this setting warns you against fraudulent websites that trick you into giving them your personal and financial information.
- Click to save your settings.Close the window to implement your changes.
To turn these features off, follow the preceding steps to return to the
panel and remove the check marks next to Block reported attack sites and Block reported web forgeries. Then click the button to save the settings.What happens when a page or file is blocked?
Firefox will block the page from loading and display a Reported Web Forgery warning for phishing sites, Reported Unwanted Software Page for unwanted software sites and Reported Attack Page for malware sites.
If you download malware or spyware, Firefox displays a message on the Downloads panel.
What information is sent to Mozilla or its partners when Phishing and Malware Protection are enabled?
There are two times when Firefox will communicate with Mozilla's partners while using Phishing and Malware Protection. The first is during the regular updates to the lists of reporting phishing and malware sites. No information about you or the sites you visit is communicated during list updates. The second is in the event that you encounter a reported phishing or malware site. Before blocking the site, Firefox will request a double-check to ensure that the reported site has not been removed from the list since your last update. In both cases, existing cookies you have from google.com, our list provider, may also be sent.
The Mozilla Privacy Policy describes what data Firefox and Mozilla each receive and how it's handled. The Google Privacy Policy explains how Google handles collected data.
I've confirmed that my site is safe, how do I get it removed from the lists?
If you own a site that was attacked and you have since repaired it, or if you feel that your site was reported in error, you can request that it be removed from the lists. We encourage site owners to investigate any such report thoroughly, though; a site can often be turned into an attack site without any visible change.
- To request removal from the list of reported phishing sites, use this form provided by Google.
- To request removal from the list of reported malware sites, use this one, provided by stopbadware.org.

Port Status
Bootloader featuresThe bootloader comes with a number of features which allow to recover from potential problematic situations.Booting to the OFThe bootloader can either boot rockbox or the OF. By default it will boot rockbox. The bootloader will boot the OF if volume down is hold while powering up. This works independently from the power source. For example, the following actions will boot the OF:
firmware.sb to the root of the filesystem.
Booting the OF in MTP USB mode.Using MTP mode in the OF with Rockbox installed is a bit tricky. Assuming the OF is set to use MTP mode (Settings > USB Mode > MTP), If the device is powered off, one can hold the Volume Down button, plug in the USB cord, and keep the Volume Down button pressed for about 3 1/2 seconds. If the Volume Down button is pressed for too long, the OF will boot in MSC mode, in which it emulates a USB flash drive. On the other hand, if the Volume Down button isn't held down for long enough, the OF won't boot at all, (instead, Rockbox will). If the player is already powered on, unplugged, and using the OF, one can plug the device into the computer. The OF will freeze for about 1 second, and shutdown (the screen will go blank). Once the freeze starts, press and hold the Volume Down button as stated above, but only for about 2.5 seconds. If the player is powered on while running Rockbox, you will need to shutdown the player, and follow the instructions described above.Building the bootloaderThe bootloader can be built using three different methods. The recommend one is the automatic method using RockboxUtility. The semi-automatic method requires a working cross-compiler and a copy of the Rockbox source code.Automatic method
Semi-Automatic methodLinuxThis method requires the following things:
bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa file (you don't need to go further than the 5. Build step in HowToCompile).
Then you need to build the mkimxboot tool in rbutil/mkimxboot . To do so, just cd into rbutil/mkimxboot and run make . It should produce a mkimxboot executable.
Finally, you need to run the tool with the correct parameters. Assuming you are in rbutil/mkimxboot , run:
./mkimxboot -i sandisk-firmware.sb -b bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa -o firmware.sb -t dualboot
You should replace sandisk-firmware.sb by the path to the firmware you downloaded from Sandisk and extracted from the archive, and replace bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa by the path to the bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa file produced by the compilation. Note that this command will produce a file called firmware.sb so if you put a copy of the firmware.sb file from Sandisk in this directory, rename it to something else like sandisk-firmware.sb before running the command.
Finally, plug your Fuze+ and put the firmware.sb file at the root of the file system, unmount and unplugged just like a regular firmware update. Note that if you already have a rockbox bootloader installed you need to reboot to the OF for the upgrade to be effective.
Of course, to run rockbox, you will also need to do a normal build of rockbox and put rockbox on your device (see HowToCompile but this time to a normal Fuze+ build and go until the 6. Install step).
If you want to boot to the OF, press Volume Down on boot (hold it, press power, wait a few seconds and release it).
Alternative methodyou need
Recovery procedureIf for any reason your device doesn't work anymore (doesn't boot, stuck in the bootloader and even the OF doesn't work or if a firmware upgrade failed). You might need to recover your device. You should not attempt this without an advice from someone knowledgeable. The point of the recovery procedure is too reinstall the OF and will remove any trace of the rockbox bootloader.LinuxThis method requires the following things:
bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa file (you don't need to go further than the 5. Build step in HowToCompile).
Then you need to build the mkimxboot tool in rbutil/mkimxboot . To do so, just cd into rbutil/mkimxboot and run make . It should produce a mkimxboot executable.
Then you need to build the sbloader tool in utils/imxtools . To do so, just cd into utils/imxtools and run make . It should produce several executable and one of them is sbloader .
Then you need to run the tool with the correct parameters to build a recovery image. Assuming you are in rbutil/mkimxboot , run:
./mkimxboot -i sandisk-firmware.sb -b bootloader-fuzeplus.sansa -o recovery.sb -t recovery
Then put your device in recovery mode: power it off, hold volume up and plug the usb cable then release volume up after a few seconds. The screen should stay black and the device will report as a HID device.
Finally send it to your device using sbloader(replace blabla by the path to utils/imxtools )(you will probably need run it as root).
blabla/sbloader 1024 recovery.sb
If the transfer fails at the init step, you might suffer from a well-known kernel problem. See SansaFuzePlus for troubleshooting.
The screen should display a few lines and the device you report as a mass storage but you OS will not be able to mount it. It should have 4 partitions. Assuming that it was detected as /dev/sdb , send the OF file to the second partition this way:
dd if=sandisk-firmware.sb bs=512 seek=4 of=/dev/sdb2
When done, unplug your device and you are done.

Giants seek better results in matchup with Marlins
Miami has enjoyed plenty of success in City by the Bay
No particular series doomed the Giants last year. But if any set of games exposed the weaknesses that would prevent them from reaching the postseason and earning a chance to defend their 2012 World Series title, it was their June 20-23 series against Miami at AT&T Park.
Miami captured three of the series' four games, prompting a Giants slump in which they lost 16 of 19 games and never recovered as they fell below .500 for good.
So while the Marlins have fallen upon hard times, losing ace Jose Fernandez to an elbow injury and dropping five consecutive games before snapping that skid with a 13-3 rout of the Dodgers on Wednesday, the Giants will take them extremely seriously when the clubs begin another four-game series Thursday at AT&T Park.
The Giants will again face Marlins starters Nathan Eovaldi, Tom Koehler and Jacob Turner, who combined to allow four runs in 20 innings in last year's series.
That series began with Miami ensconced in last place in the National League East, 20 games out of first. By contrast, the Giants trailed West-leading Arizona by a mere 1 1/2 games. Obviously, the Giants appeared to be the superior club.
So much for appearances.
The Giants proceeded to go 4-for-32 with runners in scoring position against Miami while hitting a limp .237 (32-for-135) overall.
San Francisco entered the series finale striving to emerge with a series split. Matt Cain, who will oppose Eovaldi in Thursday's opener, responded with one of his better efforts in a dreary first half, allowing three runs in six innings while striking out eight. But Miami tattooed Jean Machi for four ninth-inning runs to pull away.
That left the Giants only three games out of first place, but they nevertheless began a free fall that didn't stop until their record reached 40-50.
So the NL West-leading Giants have no desire to let Miami knock them from their lofty perch again.
Meanwhile, the Marlins remain one of the most baffling teams in the game. They boast a 17-5 record at home, yet on the road, they have struggled miserably. They've already lost their four-game series at San Diego and three-game set at the Dodgers before heading into AT&T Park.
Although the Marlins are 32-49 all-time at San Francisco, they have actually played extremely well at AT&T Park in recent years. They've won 12 of their last 15 games at San Francisco.
On Friday, the Marlins are going with the hard-throwing Eovaldi, who assumes the role of ace now that Fernandez is done for the season with a significant ligament tear in his throwing elbow.
Eovaldi, 24, feels he must carry an extra responsibility to front the rotation.
"It's definitely disappointing, but we'd been throwing the ball so well as a whole, we've got to focus on keep doing what we're doing and keep going out there," Eovaldi said of moving on without Fernandez. "It's definitely a big blow for us. The things he's accomplished and everything he's done for the organization is amazing, especially at a young age."
Eovaldi comes off a no-decision at San Diego in a game the Padres won, 9-3. Miami couldn't hold on after jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Eovaldi exited after allowing two runs in five innings. He threw 112 pitches, but wasn't able to work deep into the game.
"Every at-bat was like a struggle," Eovaldi said.
Giants: Pence maintains steady production
Hunter Pence's big day Wednesday continued his recent offensive surge. The right fielder went 4-for-5 in San Francisco's 10-4 triumph over Atlanta, hiking his batting average to .348 (31-for-89) while hitting safely in 17 of his last 22 games.
During this stretch, Pence has scored 19 runs while amassing six doubles, two triples, two homers and 10 RBIs.
Overall, Pence leads the Giants with 29 runs. His consecutive-game streak has risen to 212, longest in the NL.
Marlins: Wolf signs, more moves to follow?
Losing Fernandez for the season hasn't caused the Marlins' front office to slow down. Actually, quite the opposite has occurred. Miami on Wednesday announced the signing of veteran lefty Randy Wolf to provide experience to the rotation. The 37-year-old will step into the rotation.
Wolf's signing, for $1 million, also doesn't mean Miami is done surveying the landscape for potentially more pitching. Experienced pitching is sought to help pick up the slack without Fernandez.
"We're always in the market," Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. "We'll reassess if we need to. This a very tough team. They've dealt with a lot in the first [41] games. Winning streaks. Losing streaks. We know this team faces adversity. This is another thing we expect this team to address head on, and keep it going."
Worth noting
• Giancarlo Stanton has been one of the most productive hitters in the game all season. The 24-year-old right fielder also has posted big numbers in his career at AT&T Park. Stanton has a career .333 batting average at San Francisco with four home runs and 11 RBIs. Overall vs. the Giants, he is batting .337 with eight homers and 20 RBIs.
• Christian Yelich, raised in Thousand Oaks, Calif., will be making his AT&T Park debut. The 22-year-old, in his first full big league season, entered the road trip not having played at San Diego, Los Angeles or San Francisco. During the trip, he already has homered at Petco Park and Dodger Stadium. He has four games to go deep at AT&T Park as well.
• San Francisco's bullpen chipped in with four scoreless innings Wednesday. That shrank the relievers' home ERA to 0.94.
• The Giants improved to 12-4 in day games. That victory total leads all NL teams in this category.

Knoxville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Tennessee filled its head coaching vacancy with Tuesday's hiring of Southern Miss bench boss Donnie Tyndall.
Tyndall went 56-17 with a pair of NIT appearances in two seasons at Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles earned a share of the regular-season Conference USA championship and won a school-record 29 games this past season.
The 43-year-old Tyndall also experienced success during a six-year coaching stint at Morehead State (2006-12), guiding the program to the NCAA Tournament twice while compiling a 114-85 record.
"He has a proven track record of success and has won at every level at which he has coached," Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said about Tyndall. "Donnie brings tremendous positive energy and a strong work ethic to this important leadership role, and we look forward to his impact on our men's basketball program."
Tyndall replaces Cuonzo Martin, who left for California last week after three seasons in Knoxville, and inherits a team fresh off a trip to the Sweet 16.

The Casting Crowns are a Christian rock group originally from Daytona Beach, Florida. The group was started in 1999 by Mark Hall, youth pastor at the First Baptist Church in Daytona. He was joined by Juan Devevo and Hector Cervantes on guitar, Melodee DeVevo on violin, and Rob Cervantes on drums. Hall is the lead singer and songwriter of the group. In 2001 the Casting Crowns moved to Stockbridge, Georgia where they gained Chris Huffman on bass, Megan Garrett on keyboard, and Andy Williams on the drums. The group released two independent albums which were a big hit in the Atlanta area. They went on to win Best Song and Best Artist in 2004 at the GMA regional songwriter competition at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Originally the Casting Crowns were not looking for a record label and were only interested in producing music independently. However Mark Miller, lead singer of the country group Sawyer Brown, discovered the band and signed them to his record label. They were the first group to be signed to Beach Street Records. Their self-titled album was released in 2003 and became one of the fastest selling debut albums in the Christian music genre. It was certified platinum in 2005. The Casting Crowns went on to release Lifesong in 2005 and a live version of the album in 2006. The album debuted at number nine on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. They also released The Altar and the Door, in 2007 as well as a live version of the album in 2008. This album debuted at number two on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. After the album was released, the band went on a very successful tour and then went on to release their fourth studio album, Until the Whole World Hears, in 2009. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 list and sold over 167,000 copies within the first week. The album became the highest Christian album debut in history. In 2010, Casting Crowns won Artist of the Year at the Dove Awards. The band continues to write and produce music, as well as tour.

CC seeks bounceback start in finale with Jays
Yanks' lefty brings 14-4 record vs. Toronto into start opposite Hutchison
For Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia, there's no better place to bounce back from a tough Opening Day start than Toronto.
After beginning the season in less-than-ideal fashion, allowing six earned runs over six innings in a 6-2 loss to the Astros on April 1, Sabathia enters Sunday's contest with history on his side -- a 14-4 lifetime record against the Blue Jays.
What's more impressive is his 6-1 record and 2.62 ERA at Rogers Centre, making the start a golden opportunity to get back on track.
Sabathia said that he needs to be cautious about overextending himself in order to settle into a groove.
"I think it was just a matter of relaxing," Sabathia, 3-0 in Toronto as a member of the Yankees, said of his Opening Day woes. "I have to try to find a place in the middle where I can pitch good."
Opposing Sabathia will be 23-year-old righty Drew Hutchison, who missed the past year and a half after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He was impressive out of the gate in Grapefruit League action, and went on to claim one of two vacant rotation spots.
Hutchison is coming off a 5 1/3-innings win over the Rays in which he allowed three hits and three walks while striking out four.
"I just got into a rhythm. On nights like that, you keep grinding, and you find it," Hutchison said of his first victory since June 1, 2012. "[Catcher Dioner] Navarro did a good job in getting me there, and I was able to throw some good offspeed stuff. I threw some good sliders, too, when I was struggling to get the double-play ball and some other ones, so it was a good night."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that Hutchison will continue to build confidence, and he expects to see his young pitcher improve as the season goes on.
"You feel good when he's on the mound," said Gibbons following his team's 4-0 win over the Yankees in the second game of the three-game series on Saturday afternoon. "He's got a chance to be a really good pitcher in this league. Every time he steps out there we're confident."
Hutchison won his only career start against the Yankees, back on May 17, 2012.
Blue Jays: Cabrera continues to produce
Melky Cabrera is starting to perform at a level the Blue Jays had always hoped for.
After undergoing surgery to remove a benign tumor from his spine during the offseason, Cabrera has kicked off the 2014 campaign with an offensive punch, reaching base safely in the first six games. He's also homered in the past two contests against the Yankees -- his second coming in the eighth inning on Saturday.
"He's always been able to hit, that's the bottom line," said Gibbons. "The thing is, now he's healthy. It was a mystery last year, as far his ability to move, but he's always been able to hit, from his Yankee days on. That's for sure."
Yankees: Teixeira goes on the disabled list
First baseman Mark Teixeira was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday, one day after straining his right hamstring making a play on a foul ball.
"I wanted to break everything in this clubhouse last night when I came in here, but I respect the Blue Jays organization more than that," said a frustrated Teixeira, who was limited to 15 games last season because of injury. "It was really frustrating. I felt like I did everything this offseason and this spring to get my body in position to play all season. Sometimes things happen. It's part of sports."
Teixeira, who turns 34 later this month, felt the hamstring strain while chasing a foul ball in the second inning of New York's 4-2 victory on Friday. He will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the strain.
Teixeira strained the same hamstring in Game 4 of the 2010 American League Championship series.
To fill Teixeira's spot on the roster, the Yankees recalled catcher Austin Romine from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Worth noting
• With his double in the eighth inning, Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus snapped an 0-for-14 skid. Ryan Goins snapped an 0-for-13 hitless streak with a double in the second inning.
• Yankees center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury went 3-for-5 on Saturday after going 3-for-4 on Friday. He's now reached safely in eight of his last 10 plate appearances.
• The Blue Jays' victory on Saturday afternoon was their second shutout of the season.

As much as I like Yu na's skating overall I've always wonder why they ignore her spins which are not very good to me. Do they really give her positive GOE's on all of her spins?
As much as I like Yu na's skating overall I've always wonder why they ignore her spins which are not very good to me. Do they really give her positive GOE's on all of her spins?
I don't think you can compare the ladies' and men's situations that easily. 3-3 combinations are still extremely rare among the ladies. So are 3xs, I grant you, but in the men's, 3-3 are more common at the top. I think both Kim and Asada deserve credit for pushing the envelope. And Kim's program is much better, which I think accounts for a lot of the big difference. (I hope Mao gets a better coach/choreo.)
And yes, this is more of Elvis pushing his jumps above everything platform. I hate to see him keep doing this. I was always a fan, and I would think even he would acknowledge that his skating improved so much in other ways throughout his career, even as his quads left him. I just sigh and try to think back fondly on his deeds, not his words.
All of Yuna's jumps were rotated:
That's why I said her jumps were barely rotated. I didn't say she was UR. NBC showed a slowmo replay and they were borderline. So, for someone to say Mao didn't deserve good GOE because she barely rotated her jumps, that rule should also apply to Kim.
Regardless of the rotation issue, there is a major difference between Mao and Yuna's combos: Mao takes forever to setup her combo, and she just gets it done while Yuna goes at it at super-sonic speed, has amazing height on BOTH jumps and great flow of it. Doesn't that warrant higher GOES? Besides, Yuna's combo has a 0.5 difference in base value. That's almost 2.5 points difference right there.
Well i heard once that the moon was made of cream cheese, so I think I should have won the Olympics because I was eating cream cheese and crackers while i was watching it.
OT house-keeping/feedback - what's with the big spaces before quotes...oh and every time i reply in this thread i get a bunch of multi-quotes appearing where i've replied before??
Yes they showed Rachael and the second jump and maybe both on her 3x3 was ur'ed. . Even Scott said so and he rarely goes against an American skater. Her solo 3Lutz was also questionable and sloppy.
Rachael and Miki were treated very kindly last night as both made mistakes.

Ant? How can you say 3A-2T is easier than 3-3 when many (lady) skaters have done the latter and a tiny handful the former? And as for tacking on the 2T - correct me if I'm wrong since I"m not a technical person, but aren't skaters often omitting to tack it on because they lack speed or the first jump wasn't landed quite right? I don't think it's to be minimized... esp. after a 3A!Originally Posted by Antman
I think Stojko is helping to focus a debate, so why the problem with his speaking up? He seems to enjoy being in the thick of controversy. Not every former champion would be up for that.

On August 4, 2014, the Department of Energy (DOE) launched the DOE Public Access Gateway for Energy and ScienceBeta (DOE PAGESBeta), a portal and search engine that makes scholarly scientific publications resulting from DOE research funding publicly accessible and searchable at no charge to users.
DOE PAGESBeta was developed and is maintained by the DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) in response to a February 2013 White House Office of Science and Technology Policy memorandum that called on federal agencies to develop and implement plans to provide public access to the results of research they fund within a year of publication.
Deep within the caverns of Lead, South Dakota is one of the nation's preeminent underground laboratories. The site of the former Homestake Mine was once one of the largest and deepest gold mines in North America. This famous mine was discovered during the 1876 Black Hills gold rush and maintained a rich and colorful mining history for the next 125 years. When the mine became unprofitable it closed in 2003, having produced more than 40 million ounces of gold over its lifetime.

Judge Refuses Apple's Request for Preliminary Injunction Against Samsung

Final ruling is still pending; Judge believes that Samsung infringes, but Apple's patents are questionable
For the
world's largest phonemaker
and world's largest Android phonemaker, Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) some good news finally came in its lawsuit war [
] [
] with Apple, Inc. (
). After seeing its flagship Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned from sale
in Germany
(on the grounds of design patent infringements) and
in Australia
(on the grounds of technology patent infringements) it has scored an early victory in arguably its most important court battle in the U.S.
I. U.S. Federal Judge to Apple: No Injunction for You!
On Thursday,
Judge Lucy H. Koh
, a justice in the
Northern District Californian federal court
, denied Apple's request to ban sales of Samsung's product for now, on one of its four patent claims.
Specifically Judge Koh commented that an injunction was not warranted based on Apple's sole technology patent in the case,
U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381
. She called her decision on the patent, which covers document scrolling "tentative" and said she would issue a final ruling "fairly promptly". She comments, "It took a long time to make that distinction"
' court reporter
that the judge commented that she felt Samsung did infringe on Apple's patents, though the report does not clarify whether she indicated which patents she felt were infringed -- the three design patents, or the sole technology patent. On the other hand, the report says the judge complained that Apple is having problems establishing the validity of its patents.
II. Apple's List Scrolling Patent and Samsung's Violation
The technology patent by Apple claims ownership to temporarily displaying a non-active region to a document, such as a webpage or list, when scrolling, zooming, or rotating. Our testing indicates that in Android 2.3 Gingerbread -- the OS on the Galaxy S smartphone named in the suit -- that such a capability is indeed present in some places.
In the Gallery app when you scroll downward part of a black empty row is shown when you reach the end of the list of pictures and keeps scrolling. When you release, the list bounced back to the last row.
Samsung/Google's "slavish" infringement [Gallery App]
This scrolling feature is
found, based on our testing, on webpages in the built in browser. However, a similar feature -- also covered by Apple's patent -- is present. When you zoom out, you will see gray around your webpage when you reach the edges of the document. Releasing the zoom pinch will bounce the document back to full screen, as mentioned in the Apple patent.
Samsung/Google's "slavish" infringement [Browser App]
This patent seems relatively obvious in that it basically covers an animation and if GUI animations were broadly patentable video games as we know them couldn't exist today, software would be litigated into oblivion, and the web would be a ghost town. That said Samsung will need to follow the path of obviousness and invalidate Apple's patent in court, as it clearly does use the animation technique covered in this patent.
If Samsung cannot do that for some reason, it should be relatively trivial to remove this feature as the animation does not significantly improve the Android experience in our opinion.
(As a technical note it is operating system maker Google, Inc. (GOOG) who created the infringing design, but Samsung uses Google's OS so is being sued by proxy.)
III. Apple's Design Patents
Now that Judge Koh has tentatively denied Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction regarding the utility patent, the question becomes what she will do when it comes to the design patents --
U.S. Design Patent No. D618,677
, and
The first two patents cover the design of the iPhone 4 and iPhone (original), respectively.
The validity of these patents could be question mainly from the perspective of Apple's broad application of them.
Below we have diagrammed the differences between the iPhone designs and Samsung's Galaxy S, which Apple claims "slavishly" copied the iPhone. Specifically note that the folowing features are different:
Button count and placement
Side profile of phone (note the lip on Samsung's design)
Size of screen and general phone size.
Logo/name placement on body
Similar differences can be found between the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the iPad, an early version of which is covered in the final patent. We've detail these differences between the patent, the actual iPad, and the Galaxy Tab 10. below, which include:
Only Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a camera (compared to the original iPad).
The thickness in the design patent doesn't match the thickness of the iPad or Galaxy Tab (please measure this in an imaging software, in pixels, if you don't believe us).
Bezel sizes don't match between any of the three designs.
Connectors and buttons on the side are different.
Screen sizes and aspect ratios are different.
Only the iPad has a home button.
All tablets are clearly and unambiguously branded.
The back color doesn't match.
Really when you look carefully from an artistic perspective (presumably the criteria for merit on a design patent) in both the tablet and smartphone cases the biggest visual similarities are simply the general form factor (thin rectangles) and the color scheme. In this sense the devices are somewhat similar in looks.
There was a bit of court room drama that's gathered much attention in which Judge Koh held up the Tab and iPad and asked Samsung's lawyer Kathleen Sullivan to identify her company's product. Ms. Sullivan reportedly could not tell them apart at that distance (it was unclear if Judge Koh was covering the iPad's home screen button).
At that point Judge Koh asked, "Can any of Samsung's lawyers tell me which one is Samsung and which one is Apple?"
At that point one of Samsung's other lawyers finally coughed up the correct response.
While the incident was certainly humorous, it's important to not put too much weight in such court room drama, lest it leads one to misleading conclusions. One need only remember the controversial O.J. Simpson/Johnny Cochrane "if the glove doesn't fit" showmanship to realize that.
While the designs are somewhat similar in a very general sense, it seems a slippery slope to grant Apple broad ownership of such a design for two reasons. First, it would create ambiguity of exactly how broad Apple's design ownership is. Second, it would essentially grant a monopoly on the state of the art smart phone and tablet form factor to Apple.
Given the radical differences in the designs, it would seem if the designs are found to "infringe" that only Apple can make thin rectangular smart phones and tablets. This kind of ruling could have a catastrophic effect on many emerging electronics markets. After all, if this kind of standard was applied to the PC industry, Dell, Inc. (
) and Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
) could be suing each other and Apple for copying each others' "general form factor".
Clearly this kind of broad design ownership hasn't been granted in other electronics markets, so it seems doubtful that Judge Koh will rule this way. But stranger things have happened.
IV. Looking Ahead
In the U.S. patent battle, a final ruling on the preliminary injunction request with respect to all patents will soon be issued. Given the pressure from wireless carriers Verizon Communications, Inc. (
) and Deutsche Telekom AG's (
) T-Mobile USA [
], and Judge Koh's previous statements, it seems likely that Apple's request will be denied.
The question then will become whether Samsung can successfully invalidate Apple's patents, or at least escape a design infringement ruling (as the utility patent's infring features could easily be removed). Also pertinent is whether Samsung can succeed in its counter claim, which sues Apple on the grounds of infringing on many of its 3G communications patents.
There's also been recent action in the Netherlands and Australian arenas, we will update you on this shortly.

- Morbidity and mortality [ Time Frame: 18 months of age ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Secondary outcome measures will evaluate morbidity and mortality to 18 months.
Estimated Enrollment: | 3724 |
Study Start Date: | May 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | July 2017 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | March 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: infant cotrimoxazole |
Drug: cotrimoxazole prophylaxis
100mg/20mg per day (or 2.5 mL of syrup from a 200mg/40mg per 5mL suspension) from 1-6 months, followed by 200mg/40mg per day (or 5 mL of syrup from a 200mg/40mg per 5 mL suspension) from 6 to 12 months
Other Name: Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Combination
Placebo Comparator: infant placebo |
Drug: cotrimoxazole placebo
100mg/20mg per day (or 2.5 mL of syrup from a 200mg/40mg per 5mL suspension) from 1-6 months, followed by 200mg/40mg per day (or 5 mL of syrup from a 200mg/40mg per 5 mL suspension) from 6 to 12 months
Active Comparator: exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months |
Behavioral: exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age
Breastfeeding for 6 months, followed by formula feeding for 6 month. Breastfeeding infants will be prophylaxed with maternal highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) (if available) or with infant nevirapine.
Active Comparator: exclusive breastfeeding for 12 months |
Behavioral: breastfeeding for 12 months
Breastfeeding infants will be prophylaxed with maternal HAART (if available) or with infant nevirapine.
Detailed Description:
As improved MTCT prevention interventions reduce the number of HIV-infected infants in the antepartum and peripartum periods, interventions to improve HIV-free survival among HIV-uninfected infants are needed. Morbidity and mortality are increased among HIV-uninfected infants born to HIV-infected mothers, and reduced infant survival among HIV-exposed infants may lead to as many deaths as HIV infection itself. In Botswana, the use of formula feeding or shorter breastfeeding may worsen the problem of early infant mortality among HIV-exposed infants.
The study will enroll pregnant or postpartum HIV-1-infected women, and their HIV-uninfected infants in Botswana. At 2-4 weeks of age, live HIV-uninfected infants will be randomized to receive either double-blinded cotrimoxazole (CTX) or placebo from 2-4 weeks through 15 months. In addition, breastfeeding (BF) infants will be randomized to BF until either 6 or 12 months of age. Children will be followed prospectively until 18 months of age. The primary endpoint will be survival at 18 months comparing all infants in the CTX vs. placebo arms, and by randomized duration of BF among those BF at randomization. Secondary endpoints will evaluate survival and morbidity/mortality at 12 and 15 months; HIV-free survival to 18 months; and the safety of CTX prophylaxis. Secondary observational objectives include comparing MTCT and mortality by initial feeding method (formula feeding or any BF > 1 month), and an analysis of maternal characteristics as predictors for initial feeding choice and HIV-free survival. All women and infants will receive standard antenatal and peripartum prophylaxis from the Botswana government for MTCT prevention (PMTCT), and will choose a feeding method with counseling. Breastfeeding infants will receive infant nevirapine (NVP) prophylaxis or will be protected from MTCT by the use of maternal HAART.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- HIV-infected women, > 26 weeks gestation and < 34 days postpartum.

They could just as well fork Mesa into that 3D support blob as well, making it impossible to trace Gallium3D calls, couldn't they? That's at least how I understand Mesa's MIT license.
the closed-source component, which is the Gallium3D code to provide some fast OpenGL acceleration
Why is it that the really useful stuff is never open source?
this news about blob-thing sucking from "new api for easy and simple driver implementation" is a very very disturbing.
bad tendency.
even whole "GEM except TTM, UXA instead EXA, overcomplicated stuff over 'modesetting_drv'\Gallium" wasn't cheering at all...
This is not as cool as you might think.
First, this driver uses an older Gallium API, probably version 0.1, so most of the current tools and state trackers won't magically work until it's updated.
Second, although dumping Gallium calls is a very easy trick due to trace and rbug, it doesn't help since those calls are one level above the closed-source layer. Since the DRM is open-source, however, you could definitely just use a trivial state tracker like python or dri to dump tiny bits of state, revenge-style, out of DRM, and build a reverse-engineered driver that way.
Third, Imagination has historically been absolutely horrible about code licensing terms, and I for one will not be surprised if this code includes the same "I agree to not reverse-engineer this shit for any reason" clause as the license that came with their GLES blob for OMAP3xxx chipsets. I was part of a team last year (the OSWALD project) that wanted to use SGX code and the team ended up shipping no 3D at all because of the licensing conditions. You may note that TG/VMWare has been sitting on this code for a while, and that's because Imagination's a company that really just doesn't like the open-source community.
Just when I thought Intel was becoming less evil!
Interesting, is the vaapi part open source or binary?
It's well known that Imagination Technologies is managed by morons, but the kernel module *is* GPL after all and there's no way they can stop people from modifying it once the shit hits the fan, so to speak.
This no-RE clause is pretty common fare and it hasn't really stopped anyone from picking blobs apart before (WiFi drivers immediately sprint to mind, but you could probably find examples in any category with a little digging). Clean room RE is protected pretty much everywhere in the world, so they don't have much to stand on.
Granted, there's a real danger of patent lawsuits here, but Imagination would have to be even larger morons than they currently are to go down that road.
Will this work on Menlow then? I don't even care about fast video or 3D, at this point I just want my web browser to work - the open source bits are enough for that, right? The VESA driver in Fedora 10 didn't even support my custom screen resolution out of the box, so I just gave up - I don't really have any time to mess around.
IMHO these new drivers are last minute fix (probably with big additional costs) of badly planned and executed project (Poulsbo). Result: by licensing Imagination technology Intel damaged perception of own HW and SW competence for mobile market.

New Orleans has a long and storied history of female musicians.
"Queen Clarinet" Doreen Ketchens, Lawrence Ketchens and Paul Kemnitz perform a 20+ minute set of three songs at WWOZ during the Fall 2014 Membership Drive.
The songs are: "This Train" "The House of the Rising Sun" - starts at 5:18 "Cabaret" - starts at 14:36
Mia Borders, pictured above in the WWOZ studio last week as part of our Fall Membership Drive, reinvents Justin Timberlake's 2002 song "Cry Me a River." This is the first installment of her "15 Week Challenge, Part II": every Friday, she'll post a new video of her take on a classic cover.
As Bobby Rush mentions in the opening of the video below, today (Novemember 10, 2014) is his 81st birthday. The video was recorded in HD with broadcast quality audio by WWOZ at the 2014 Crescent City Blues and BBQ Festival.
Left-handed R&B guitarist Barbara Lynn recorded this song, her first, at Cosimo Matassa's French Quarter studio in 1962 with session musicians including one Mac Rebennack. It went to #1 on the R&B charts and hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Our Fall Pledge Party is under way, so it's time to show your love for WWOZ! If you need a reason to pledge, check out some of the reasons offered by our listeners below:

"Interesting But Predictable"
The Badge of Honor series has always been driven by the character of Matt Payne. The previous books bring that character out in very unique and fun ways. This book, though, does nothing to add to Matt's character. He has become predictable and boring. There is very little drama and a very predictable ending. That pattern was very disappointing. While it was a fun read, I was expecting more.
"The Horror of Siege Warfare Made Real"
Though I have read and listened to numerous books on the Civil War, I have seemingly ignored much of the West battles. Jeff Shaara writes an excellent presentation of the battles leading up to and around Vicksburg.
This book focuses on a number of real people and a few fictional ones. The author interweaves an excellent story line focusing on the human events, thoughts and feelings of various officers and men as well as some civilians. This novel (and the one about Shiloh) purposefully goes light on the details of the military regiments and units. So don't expect a detailed description of the battles as found in Stephen Sears books.
The book is well written and keeps the listener engrossed the whole way. I found myself rooting for the fictional character here even though I am confident he will survive.
Paul Michael is a narrator well known to me. Any time I see his name listed as the narrator I smile because I know how well he does. And Paul does his usual excellent performance here.
If you want detailed descriptions of the Battles of Vicksburg, this is the wrong book for you. If you prefer getting to know what it may have been like to be a soldier and civilian during this time, then you will enjoy this book.
"A Rollicking Fun Story."
I always love finding new authors who write great stories. And Will Adams fits that description perfectly. History is full of stories of people searching for Alexander the Great's body and his wealth. Will writes an excellent story that flows well and makes for a great listen. Our hero saves lives, gets the girl, and becomes the hero in the end. Well, not exactly and that is one of the best parts of the story. The ending lays the groundwork for the next story and a definite antagonist.
An excellent narration by David Colacci as well.
Looking forward to the next episode.
"Gets Better and Better"
The Corps series is definitely a man-oriented series. The characters are macho, heroic, dedicated, yet sometimes crass and disgusting. They represent the true enigma that makes the military male.
As the son of a WWII veteran who fought the Japanese and the father of a current Marine, I have a definite bias toward these stories. yet I loved them years ago when I read them on paper.
Dick Hill's narration just makes the stories even better.
This book continues the storylines from Guadalcanal and Buka. The book is very well written and makes the reader root for the men and women in harm's way as well as their personal struggles, fears, and desires.
Looking forward to the next books in the series. Mr. Griffin, keep them coming and I will keep buying.
"Such a Disappointment"
Being Hungarian in heritage, I always try historical books that incorporate that heritage.I don't know much about the Mongolian invasion and was hoping this first novel might touch on that. It doesn't. That's OK. The actual storyline, as written, is very confusing.
There is no clear individual to get to know and like. Nor is there a real villian to dislike. Too many undeveloped characters with seemingly disconnected plots. It seems like each author was assigned a character and tried to develop action scenes for that character. Then the editor smashed the storylines together like mashed potatoes. Thus, the story wanders across this book like the Mongols did across the steppes.
Yet there is enough to keep me going. I have Book 2 and will continue there hoping things get better.
Luke Daniels as a narrator is just as effective as the book is written. Just meh.
Not horrible but not great. Just average.
"A Peek Into the Early Isaac Bell"
Of all the series that Clive Cussler and his co-authors produce, the Isaac Bell series is far and away the best. Justin Scott writes a rollicking story with detailed characters and believable storylines.
His lead character, Isaac Bell is determined (living the van Dorn Agency motto "We never give up!"), intelligent, and capable. Yet he is human making mistakes along the way with other people paying the price.
Scott creates 2 excellent villians for us to dislike and describes the primary villian in exquisite detail so we can see him in our minds clearly. And the second villian hides so well in the shadows keeping us yearning to find out more about him. Yet the writing is not tedious or boring but keeps the reader engaged the whole way.
Scott Brick is one of the best narrators in the business and adds his consistently high quality reader to this book. Whenever I see Scott Brick listed as the narrator, I know I will enjoy the book. I was once again pleased with The Striker.
"Wellington's Honorable Rogue"
Prepare to be hooked on Richard Sharpe. From the moment our uneducated, street-smart, ruthless hero steps onto the pages, you will fall in love with Private Sharpe. He may not be book educated, but through his native cunning and ruthlessness, he sure knows how to get out of a scrape with his skin intact. An honorable rogue is our Richard too.
Bernard Cornwell introduces the reader to a really enjoyable everyday guy who is just trying to survive the army. Lurching from one mistake after another, Sharpe almost loses it all... only to hit the jackpot in the end.
From my first reading so long ago, I have loved every story about Sharpe. The writing is excellent, the storyline enjoyable, and the characters believable. This book is an excellent way to pass a day or two.
Frederick Davidson is an outstanding narrator. His British accent adds realism to the story and his narration is a pleasure to hear. Yet his accent does not become a barrier to the enjoyment as I have found with Patrick Tull.
"The Napoleonic James Bond Lives to Fight Again."
Before James Bond, there was Richard Sharpe. Fighting the King's enemies. Dashing about getting himself into trouble, then pulling out the miraculous escape. And always getting the beautiful girl into his bed. That is our Richard Sharpe.
Bernard Cornwell knows how to write great stories. Yes, they tend to be formulaic, but I love these stories for their sheer bloody enjoyment. The author does an excellent job of building in the actions, patterns, and personalities of the time (as I understand them to be). He also educates you into the military thoughts and concepts of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars in Spain, Portugal, and France. And if the French leaders were are narcissistic as Cornwell suggests, I wonder how they won any battles at all.
The only complaint I have is Patrick Tull as the narrator. I much prefer these stories read by William Gaminara or Frederick Davidson, Tull is not bad and I got used to his accent as the book progressed, but Gaminara and Davidson are better. Personal preference there.
If you like British military history in general, and the Napoleonic Wars in particular, then you will enjoy the Sharpe novels.
"King of the Hill - Asian Syle"
This was a most interesting story. One that seems fanciful when trying to imagine two communist countries like Russia and China playing "King of the Hill." In Clancy's world, there is only one true King. And that King has to be ready at all times for the unexpected. Thanks to the excellence of many small people, the evil plans of others can be thwarted.
But turning Russia into a true ally? That is being very creative.
The storyline is titillating, creative, destructive, and has the unknown good guy riding to the rescue at the last minute.
As always, Clancy's stories are fun, challenging, long, and worth every minute.
Michael Prichard is an excellent narrator and makes this book an wonderful investment in your time and a truly enjoyable read.
"Why American Marines Are Without Peer"
This book continues the excellent merging of the fabulous writing of WEB Griffin and the outstanding narration of Dick Hill. Whenever I listen to The Corps series, I always pull up the maps of the region whre the fighting is described and follow along with the narration. This combination brings the story alive.
Dick renders the characters in the story believable and adds the appropriate emotion and voice inflection that makes listening to the story fun.A good narrator makes a good book fun. A great narrator makes a great book memorable and brings the listener back again and again.

The Mass Effect mouse hack is once again broken. They should either add a supported permanent hack or fix the damn thing.
Phoronix: Wine 1.3.19 Improves Direct3D 9 Support
It's time for another bi-weekly Wine development snapshot. This release though is somewhat more interesting than some of the other mundane snapshots in the past in that it improves the D3DX9 support, has a new sound driver architecture, etc...
The Mass Effect mouse hack is once again broken. They should either add a supported permanent hack or fix the damn thing.
I think some are mislead by which mouse bug that is being fixed.
They have (hopefully) fixed Bug 26356 (Mouse lags and is sometimes jerky) which is a regression that happened in 1.3.15 when they rewrote some of the mouse handling code.
Now that they fixed stuff they broke themselves they can hopefully put in some more code to finally fix the mouse warp bug.
"This release though is somewhat more interesting than some of the other mundane snapshots in the past in that it improves the D3DX9 support"
I have already told once you that D3DX9 isn't the same Direct3D9...
It's just an enhancement library which works PERFECTLY using the native dll and thus isn't a real blocker for any game anyway.
It may be just me, but I see all these announcements that wine made improvements and bugs were fixed, and everytime I try it it's all the same old shit. What actual new games/programs now run perfectly that didn't before, if any at all? That's what I'd call an improvement, not something like "We fixed more MSXML stuff for the millionth time but everything using it is still broken".
PS: I may be a bit biased in my hate towards Wine because I dislike that it decides to create a bunch of context menu entries that I don't want and decides to associate notepad.exe with text files although I don't want that, and even after removing it, the chaos that it created in my desktop gets left behind. And on top of all that the programs that I wanted to run with it don't work.
i see what you mean. i personally haven't used wine in maybe 2 years. i really wish they would stop working on direct3d and their fake directx and get the REAL thing working. if they continue creating a fake, open source renderer, they will ALWAYS be behind forever. if the real stuff works then that takes a heap of work off their hands, and helps narrow down probable causes of issues.
virtualization is great when it comes to non-3d software, but that isn't sufficient for everyone. i'd like to virtualize windows and run my games that way but virtual video drivers suck. i could virtualize linux but i prefer a dedicated machine and a reliable host.
Windows is a complicated operating system. To write the whole OS natively (including all the dependencies), you're talking upwards of 25 million lines of code, maybe more if you throw in all the backwards compat stuff.
No wonder wine has problems. If Microsoft needs that many million SLOCs to implement it natively, how many lines do you think wine will need to implement it in emulation by calling POSIX stuff in the background?
Wine *does* work for some applications, but to truly discover what apps a particular release enables, you have to test it.

Man crashes into pizza joint, orders pizza
Elderly Nebraska man's foot got stuck on accelerator
When in Rome? A Nebraska man recently crashed his car into a pizza joint, then ordered a pie for himself.
Just before noon last Wednesday, the elderly man got his foot stuck on the accelerator and drove his car into a Valentino's pizza restaurant in Lincoln, local TV station WOWT reported.
While concerned bystanders called police, the man placed an order for a pizza, Omaha TV station KETV reported.
That may seem a bit strange, but to first responders, it was a good thing.
The pizza order showed the driver was "alert" after the crash, Lincoln Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Leo Benes told the Lincoln Journal Star.
The driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution. No one in the restaurant was injured.
The real tragedy, perhaps? The man didn't get his pizza before being sent to the hospital.

text: Feb 27, 2013 20:34 Federal judge reverses Woodfox conviction; state will appeal Federal judge reverses Woodfox conviction; state will appeal State appeal of Woodfox case planned BY JOE GYAN JR.| Advocate staff writer Feb. 27, 2013 Comments Brent MillerState Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said Wednesday that his office will appeal a federal judge's decision to reverse Albert Woodfox's 1998 conviction in the 1972 stabbing death of a guard at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. U.S. District Judge James Brady agreed Tuesday with Woodfox's claim that his 1993 indictment by a West Feliciana Parish grand jury was tainted by discrimination in the grand jury foreperson selection process. Brady noted in his ruling that only five of the 27 grand jury forepersons judicially selected in West Feliciana Parish between 1980 and March 1993 were black; the other 22 were white. The judge said the state failed to convince him that "objective, race-neutral criteria" — such as education and employment — were used in the selection process. Grand jury forepersons in Louisiana are now randomly selected, East Baton Rouge Parish First Assistant District Attorney Prem Burns said. Woodfox, of New Orleans, a former member of the Black Panther Party, has been convicted twice of fatally stabbing Brent Miller, a 23-year-old guard, at the Angola prison . "We are preparing our appeal now, and we are confident that the grand jury forepersons were appropriately picked and that the state will prevail and give this family peace after 40 years of dealing with this career criminal," Caldwell said in a prepared statement. Woodfox's attorney, Nick Trenticosta, said he is confident the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will uphold Brady's ruling. "We're extremely pleased with the judge's ruling. We're not surprised," Trenticosta said via telephone. "We look forward to a new trial and to Mr. Woodfox being exonerated." Woodfox's first conviction in Miller's death was overturned after he challenged the grand jury indictment. Brady ruled in 2008 that Woodfox's defense counsel in his retrial was ineffective. The judge ordered the state to try Woodfox for a third time or drop the case. The 5th U.S. Circuit in 2010 reversed that order, saying Brady erred in concluding Woodfox had ineffective counsel in his second trial. The appellate court sent the case back to Brady for a determination concerning the selection of the grand jury foreperson. Woodfox, along with prisoner Herman Wallace and former inmate Robert King, joined the Black Panthers after arriving at the Angola prison in the late 1960s and began organizing a prison chapter of the group in 1971. The trio, who became known as the Angola 3 for spending decades in solitary confinement, set up demonstrations in the prison and organized strikes for better conditions there. Woodfox and Wallace, who were serving 50-year sentences for armed robbery convictions when Miller was killed, were convicted of second-degree murder in separate trials during the 1970s in Miller's slaying and were sentenced to life in prison. Trenticosta, who also represents Wallace, said Wallace has an appeal pending before U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson. Trenticosta said both men are from New Orleans. Miller's death occurred during a period of heightened security caused by an arson incident in which another security officer was injured two days earlier. Eighteen days after Miller's murder, Woodfox, Wallace and two other Angola inmates — Gilbert Montegut and Chester Jackson — were indicted by a West Feliciana Parish grand jury for that crime. Montegut was acquitted at trial. Jackson pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter and testified against his co-defendants. He died in prison in 1988.

As a highland tequila,we can expect the Don Julio to exhibit strong fruity citrus notes and to have a little hot pepper in the finish. The company was established by Don Julio González, who apparently began to examine the prospect of making his own Tequila in 1942. He established his distillery called, La Primavera, and spent nearly forty years refining his Tequila into the spirit which now bears his name.
The Don Julio Añejo is produced in small batches, aged in American white-oak barrels for eighteen months. The spirit is currently owned by the Diageo Conglomerate, and I was provided with a 375 ml sample for this review by their Northern Alberta Marketing Agent.

7mm XCEL INFINITY DRYLOCK Round Toe Boot
The XCEL INFINITY DRYLOCK Wetsuit Boot is the nicest high-end boot we have ever carried. The unique drylock seal virtually eliminates flushing at the top and makes this an excellent winter bootie. Features water-repellent superstretch neoprene for maximum flexibility, sealed and taped seams to keep cold water from trickling in, and a poly fleece lining to absorb moisture from your skin. Velcro cinch strap across instep for a customized fit, and extra reinforcement at heel and toe.
Go green and go warm! All XCEL Infiniti Drylock products feature a unique bamboo-infused lining, a neoprene engineered from recycled yarns with the goal of reducing the amount of materials that ultimately end up in landfills. This green approach to wetsuit development complements Xcel's longstanding initiative of using limestone-based neoprene and glue, which eliminates oil-consuming processes, using hydro-electric power and waste energy instead. 1 year warranty on wetsuits. 3 month warranty on lycra, boots, gloves, and hoods.
