OK I know, I said I was gonna try to do more non-Sonic songs. But there's an explanation.
This is simply supposed to be a side project. As I go into my fifth year on Newgrounds, I thought it would be cool to see how much different I can make the song, with all the things I learned over the past four years.
You can hear my first one at http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/50191 to compare
I myself have changed a lot within this timeframe, new life, new friends, new styles, new shit, new everything. So I figured, why not?
But I thought it was cool enough to post here on Newgrounds. (Yeah, posting on Newgrounds is cool LOL)
So, here is Sonic 3 - Ice Cap Act 2 aka The Rebirth. I dunno, I just wanted to say something clever lol. Vote, review, download, the works.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I've heard a lot of remixes of this song over the years... and I have to say yours is my absolute favourite. My (rather spectacular if I do say so myself :P) hat is off to you, sir! Keep up the fantastic work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
awesome music keep it up :)
btw i think its more sounds like act 1 but i'm not sure :?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
pretty good for a fisrt remix!!!
Um, I think you misread it hahaha. This is a remix of my first remix. This would actually be #71 for me
Rated 5 / 5 stars
That one instrument...
I just love it dude. Makes ur songs so AWESOME!
Pretty sure I know which instrument you're talking about and I must say it was the most awesome instrument I've made. I use it a lot

dc.description.abstract | High-quality ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals have been successfully prepared at high temperature by incorporating stoichiometric amounts of Zn and Se into pre-prepared CdSe nanocrystals. With increasing Zn content, a composition-tunable emission across most of the visible spectrum has been demonstrated by a systematic blue-shift in emission wavelength. The photoluminescence (PL) properties for the obtained ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals (PL efficiency of 70−85%, fwhm = 22−30 nm) are comparable to those for the best reported CdSe-based QDs. In particular, they also have good PL properties in the blue spectral range. Moreover, the alloy nanocrystals can retain their high luminescence (PL efficiency of over 40%) when dispersed in aqueous solutions and maintain a symmetric peak shape and spectral position under rigorous experimental conditions. A rapid alloying process was observed at a temperature higher than "alloying point". The mechanism of the high luminescence efficiency and stability of ZnxCd1-xSe nanocrystals is explored. |

Admission into the Ninth Grade
The Liberal Arts College Preparatory Magnet is designed to nurture the intellectual qualities necessary for success in college. Students are challenged to think critically, to improve their decision-making and problem-solving skills, and to become responsible citizens. The Admissions Committee looks for evidence of motivation and readiness for high school work. Students will qualify for entrance into the program based on the following criteria:
• Completion of the admission application with a copy of the eighth grade report card, signed by the guidance counselor. The report card must show an "82" or better average in each standard eighth grade course. A student does not have to earn an "82" in courses that are normally taught in high school, since these courses may be retaken (e.g. Algebra). Application should be submitted prior to testing.
• Recommendations from the school counselor, English teacher, and math teacher indicating positive attitudes, behavior, and attendance. Recommendations will be requested by CHS, not the student. Discipline and attendance records may be requested.
• Successful completion of the entrance exams, which include:
A reading comprehension test
A mathematics placement test
An essay
The examinations for Fall, 2014 admissions will be given on:
November 16, 2013
December 14, 2013
January 18, 2014
February 1, 2014
Student Selection
Admissions will begin after the first testing date and continue until the number of students accepted meets the maximum enrollment for Columbus High School. Following enrollment into the program, students must maintain a "C" average or better in each course. Any student whose nine-week grade in a term course is less than a "C" will be placed on academic probation for that term. Every effort will be made to help the student improve his grade. At the end of the term, if any grade is less than a "C," the student's progress will be reviewed, and he may be reassigned to the high school in his residential attendance zone.
Admission of Upperclassmen
To qualify for admission after the ninth grade, students must have taken courses compatible with the magnet curriculum. They must also present the following:
• An application and transcript that demonstrates a 3.5 grade point average.
• A letter from the school counselor that affirms a positive attendance and discipline record.
• If an entering sophomore, successful completion of the entrance exams, which include:

MANILA, Philippines --- How much does a candidate for governor need to pay in order to be assured of a win in the May 2013 polls?
According to an official of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines National Secretariat for Social Action (CBCP-NASSA), it's P20 million.
For city mayor, it's P70 million.
Related story: Pinoys elect Hollywood stars, rock bands in mock polls
At least this is the information that CBCP chairman Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo heard from different sources.
"They said there are operators going around the provinces asking for P20 million in order for one to win as governor," he said in an interview.
The prelate, however, is clueless on the amount being offered to those running for national positions such as senator and congressman.
"I don't know about the senators, but I assume it's much bigger," said Pabillo.
Also read: Poll body admits not enough manpower to monitor campaigns
The CBCP official said in other areas the amount even depends on the highest bidder.
"Whoever made the highest bid will probably win," Pabillo said.
Asked if he already raised the issue to the Commission on Elections (Comelec), he answered negatively.
"I raised it to my fellow bishops. I told them that I heard of such things," said Pabillo.
"The problem is you cannot verify it. Even if you say something it might just be denied since you don't have proof. It's not as if you have signed something it's just word of mouth, which can easily be denied," he added.
Pabillo said such kind of information is the reason they urged the poll body to address the deficiencies in the automated election system to avert the possibility of wholesale cheating in the May, 2013 polls.
Related story: What's in a name? Everything for politicians
If before, he said, candidates resort to vote-buying now they only need to pay whoever knows the technology in order to win.
Comelec spokesman James Jimenez, meantime, said that they are open to investigating such claims on cheating.
"We are open in investigating these things but give us a little more (information)," he said.
"We are very thankful with information like this, but we are doubly thankful if the information like this is actionable. Actionable meaning we at least have an idea as to who to talk to etc. - if we are given such information even in confidence you can be sure that we will go after them," added Jimenez. (Leslie Ann G. Aquino)
A 10-year-old autistic Filipino boy made an emotional plea Monday for permission to stay in Australia, as tens of thousands called for him not to be deported despite the potential cost of his condition. Tyrone Sevilla, who arrived in Australia from the Philippines legally as a two-year-old with his mother Maria Sevilla, has written to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton asking to stay. The letter, which reads: "Dear Mr Dutton, can I stay in Australia please... Tyrone," was the first one her son …

Is she hiding a baby bump or not?
Rampant speculation is out there that Jessica Simpson is expecting and she certainly isn't doing anything to stop the rumors when she's spotted cradling what looks suspiciously like a baby belly and RadarOnline.com has the photos.
PHOTOS: Is Jessica Simpson Hiding A Baby Bump?
With no official confirmation from the star or her camp Jessica being pregnant is still an unconfirmed rumor, but at LAX it definitely looked like her curves might actually be the first signs of a baby.
The 30-year-old has been engaged to her former NFL fiancé Eric Johnson for months, but it seems like there are no imminent plans for a wedding anytime soon.

If Jess did give birth out of wedlock the baby would join her adorable nephew Bronx, her sister Ashlee Simpson's little boy.

Houston Astros 09-10 Season Recap
Posted 10/17/2010
The Houston Astros continue to flounder in the National League Central division because of an owner and general manager who both believe the team is way more talented than it actually is.
Houston did manage to finish only 10 games below .500 and just a game out of third place in the N.L. Central, but don't let that fool you. Their division is so poor that it inflates their win total, meaning they are nowhere close to being a .500 club.
The Astros finally came to grips with their plight near the trade deadline this season, electing to deal key veterans Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman to contending clubs.
In return, the Astros received some top prospects who can help try to restock one of the worst farm systems in all of baseball.
Look for Houston to remain relatively quiet on the free agent market in the offseason, opting to go for a full rebuild and not fool their fans (and themselves) into thinking they might be a contender next year.
Things are really ugly in Houston right now, and there are no signs of improvement in the near future. The cupboard is bare in terms of minor league talent, and there isn't much to get excited about at the major league level, either.

The M18A1 Claymore is an anti-personnel directional mine developed in the United States after the Korean War.
The M18A1 Claymore's curved casing is packed with a pound and a half of powerful explosives. The side facing the enemy is lined with 700 steel ball bearings, so when the mine explodes, the ball bearings simultaneously burst out of the casing. The mine is triggered by an electric detonator. When the mine is planted, it reacts to anything that comes close and automatically explodes.
Claymore mines are used for ambushing an enemy without exposing the explosive itself to the enemy. Because they can be difficult to detect, sensors have to be used in order to avoid them.
Claymore mines were utilized in Tselinoyarsk in the early 1960s, and were encountered by Naked Snake during Operation Snake Eater. They were speculated to have either been stolen or recovered by the Soviets from a battlefield in Southeast Asia, and then commenced performance evaluations on them. Some of the Claymores were also modified to include a proximity sensor that would detonate when an enemy approached it at a certain distance. Sigint correctly predicted that the Soviets would eventually copy the Claymore's simple structure, resulting in the Russian Claymorasky mines. They each weighed 1.6kg.
During the San Hieronymo Takeover in 1970, FOX commander Gene's renegade army secretly planted Claymore mines throughout the hospital area, which would have caused a devastating hazard to the hospital staff (who were not informed of the incident), had Naked Snake's resistance goup not discovered and disarmed all of them. During the Peace Walker Incident in 1974, the Militaires Sans Frontières attempted to remove Claymore mines at the Rio del Jade boathouse and the Selva de la Muerte cliff-bottom that were presumably set by the Peace Sentinel. The MSF also procured some design specs on Claymore mines after a demolition mission at the Rio del Jade.
The Claymore mines used during the Shadow Moses and Big Shell Incidents were enhanced with built-in stealth camouflage, and utilized a short ranged 90º laser sight to trigger the detonation. During the former, they were laid in the canyon between the tank hangar and warhead storage building, and in the underground passage leading to the communication towers.
During Liquid Ocelot's Insurrection, Claymores were used prominently in PMC war zones, though they were not stealth-equipped.
Behind the scenesEdit
- "An American-made anti-personnel directional mine. Modified by Soviet technicians to automatically detonate when it detects a moving object within the trigger areas to its front and rear."
- ―Claymore description in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
- "An anti-personnel mine consisting of explosives and 700 steel ball bearings contained within a gently curving plastic case.
When an object passes in front of it, it detonates and propels the ball bearings forward in a wedge-shaped pattern, wounding or killing the enemy." - ―Claymore weapon description in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
The Claymore mine's first appearance in the Metal Gear series was in the non-canonical sequel to the original Metal Gear, Snake's Revenge. It first canonically appeared in Metal Gear Solid.
- Thermal goggles can be used to make Claymore mines visible.
- Mine detectors are obviously useful for locating them. Early versions of this sensor would vibrate as the player got closer to a mine. Later versions would display the location of mines on the Soliton Radar. The first in-game appearance of the mine detector, in Metal Gear, actually revealed the mines on-screen.
- Crawling over a mine will allow Snake to pick it up safely.
- Unlike previous games, Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 feature Claymore mines that can be seen with the naked eye, though they can still be difficult to spot.
- In Metal Gear Solid 4, the Metal Gear Mk. II/III can be used to scout ahead for mines. These can then be disarmed by pressing the ▲ (Triangle) button.
- In Metal Gear Solid 4, if a Claymore is pointed at a wall, it will make five holes in the wall after exploding.
Although it was called a Claymore in Metal Gear Solid 3, the actual design indicated that it was the MON-50 anti-personnel mine.
- "An anti-personnel mine that focuses its blast in a specific directon. Upon detonation, it sprays 700 steel balls in a 60-degree arc, Although developed for anti-personnel use, it is also effective against vehicles.
The Claymore is extremely powerful and simple to use, but be very careful not to set it off yourself. The results could be too horrible to watch." - ―Claymore weapon description in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

text: Tobacco trade around the world by Nicholas Rapp @FortuneMagazine November 21, 2013, 12:08 PM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons FORTUNE — Each year about 2 million people collect, dry, and package tobacco — some 8 million tons, grown on 16,275 square miles of land — to make 5 trillion cigarettes. Tobacco is no longer the largest cash crop in America (that would be corn), but nothing earns more per acre except marijuana, which is still illegal almost everywhere. An acre of tobacco in the U.S. can yield about $1,500, vs. $300 for corn. But smoking rates in the developed world are in steep decline, falling to slightly less than half their peak in the mid-1960s, when an estimated 42% of all adults in America smoked. The growth — and where the U.S. sends its premium tobacco — is across the world: In China, according to the World Health Organization, nearly 60% of men are smokers. This story is from the December 09, 2013 issue of Fortune.

The Times Showband
Formed in 1968, the Times were an offshoot
from Joe Dolan's highly successful Irish showband,
The Drifters. The
line-up of the Times comprised Jimmy Swarbrigg (Vocals), Tommy Swarbrigg
Joey Gilheaney (Trombone), Jimmy Horan
(Bass), Des Doherty (Keyboards),
Gene Bannon (Sax),(Breakaways)(Drifters)
Sean Kenny (Lead Guitar)(Jivenaires, Mystics)
and Donal Aughey (Drums).
Unlike many showbands of the era, the Times
wrote much of their own material.
From 1969-76, they notched up a formidable
series of Irish hits,
including Dozie, Hitching To Miami,
Looking Through The Eyes Of A Beautiful Girl,
The Entertainer, It All
Depends On You, If Ma Could See Me Now and Hold On.
The talented Swarbrigg brothers also
enjoyed a separate singing career and
twice represented Ireland in the Eurovision
Song Contest.
In 1975 their That's What Friends
Are For achieved sixth place in the Eurovision final
and reached number 2 in the Irish charts.
Two years later, they secured third spot in
the Eurovision Song Contest with It's Nice To
Be In Love Again, which subsequently
topped the Irish charts.
The success of the duo emphasized the
musical talent that stretched
back through Irish showband history, from the Times to the Drifters.

EN15 Accidental oil spills from marine shipping
Assessment made on 01 Nov 2008
Generic metadata
Energy (Primary theme)DPSIR: Driving force
Policy issue: Is the use and production of energy having a decreasing impact on the environment?
Key messages
Despite the decreasing number of accidental oil spills in European waters, major accidental oil tanker spills (i.e. those greater than 20 000 tonnes) still occur at irregular intervals. Large accidental oil spills account for about 10-15 per cent of all oil that enters the ocean worldwide every year (the major source of anthropogenic marine pollution being constituted by land-based discharges).
Fancybox relations
Key assessment
Accidental oil tanker spills into the European Seas have decreased significantly over the past 17 years. From the total amount of oil spilt in large accidents (i.e. more than 7 tonnes) during the 1990-2005 period (553 000 tonnes), two thirds were spilt over the period 1990-1994. During the five-year periods 1995-1999 and 2000-2004, around 19 % and 14 % respectively were spilt. In 2005, 2100 tonnes were released into the environment. However, this trend is largely dependent on the occurrence of large accidents, as few very large accidents are responsible for a high percentage of the oil spilt from maritime transport. During the period 1990-2005, of the 106 accidental spills over 7 tonnes, only 7 accidents resulting in spills of around 20 000 tonnes or more account for 89 % of the volume of oil spilt (Fig. 2).
Unfortunately, such major accidents still occur at irregular intervals. Nevertheless, the average number of accidental oil spills above 7 tonnes in European waters has decreased significantly. On average 13 accidents per year were reported for the period 1990-94, 4.8 accidents per year between 1995-1999 and 2.6 accidents per year for the period of 2000-2004 . In 2005, 4 accidents were reported. If all accidents, including accidents resulting in spills < 7 tonnes, are taken into account, the reduction is even more significant with averages of 31.4, 8.8 and 8 accidents per five-year period respectively. In 2005, 8 accidents in European waters resulted in oil spills. For all accidents were >7 tonnes of oil is split grounding of the vessel is by far the most common cause accounting for 44 % of the total volume. Fire/explosion (27 %), hull failure (15 %) and collision (13 %) are the next most common causes (Fig 3).
The decrease in oil spilt into the sea was achieved despite a rise in oil consumption and related imports (EUROSTAT, 2005a,b,c) which led to a higher risk of oil spills since over 90 % of oil products in Europe are transported by sea. A more rapid introduction of double hulls for tankers will help further reduce this risk together with the enforcement of traffic monitoring and information system legislation and the enforcement of the law against ship-source pollution -- including criminal sanctions for pollution offences. The establishment of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) is expected to play a role in reducing the risk of accidental oil spills from tankers into the sea.

Graham B. McBride (2005). John Wiley & Sons, 111 River Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030, 344 pp., $94.95, hardcover, ISBN 0-471-47016-3.This book is readable, comprehensible, and I anticipate, usable. The author has an enthusiasm which comes out in the text. Statistics is presented as a living, breathing subject, still being debated, defined, and refined.Examples address macroinvertebrate studies, pathogenic indicator organisms, and other receiving water quality issues. The author has a firm grasp on statistics and water quality, which provides the reader with greater confidence in the application to water quality analysis.Advice on how to frame a study, what to expect from statistical analysis, and pointing out the need to clearly identify a hypothesis at the onset is also discussed. The author warns against the practice of "peeking" — essentially continuing to take data points until results are favorable. An understandable description of such common statistical terms as confidence limits, standard error, and probability distribution functions is provided. In one passage, the author points out that "failure to gain p< 0.05 in a point-null test, signifying 'statistical' insignificance, does not necessarily mean that population differences or trends are environmentally insignificant."The author's most pertinent argument is that water quality professionals should use a Bayesian approach, rather than the classical (frequentist) approach, the predominant method taught. This claim is supported by examples and tables that show the power of the Bayesian methods over classical methods. What comes through to the reader is the restrictive nature of the frequentist interpretation. The statistical interpretation practitioners want is often Bayesian; however, achieving Bayesian interpretations requires setting the study up for a Bayesian approach in the first place.The book has many references and an abundance of footnotes. The preface adequately describes the chapter content, directing the reader to read or possibly skip chapters. This is a textbook that provides chapter problems and solutions; it may not be appropriate for undergraduate study unless the curriculum is specifically in water quality. Water quality professionals may benefit from this book, as would regulators and those affected by regulations, given the argument for Bayesian statistics.The author states, "Many software packages fail to advise the user just what formulae they use." In this age of canned statistical software with limited descriptions, it is refreshing to see a book that presents statistics as a useful tool for professionals, instead of a burden of proof.

Bit size — the amount of data that can be operated on at any given time. Intel's Pentium processor supports 32-bit operations, whereas the Itanium supports 64-bit operations. Operations performed on the data are relatively simple and include addition, subtraction, or retrieving data from memory.
Processor clock speed — a measure of the rate at which the CPU performs its operations. Modern high-end computers tout clock speeds of 1 GHz to 2 GHz.
Theoretically, the raw performance of a 1GHz 32-bit processor is double that of a 500MHz 32-bit processor. However, architectural factors, such as the type of cache memory and the bandwidth of the connections between the CPU and the memory, significantly affect a system's overall performance.

Bachelor 2014 Spoilers: Juan Pablo's Ladies Get Bitchy on a Group Date (PHOTOS)
Juan Pablo and The Ladies on a Group Date in The Bachelor Season 18, Week 2
It's never easy saying goodbye to anyone on The Bachelor, but after eliminating nine unlucky contestants on the Season 18 premiere, Juan Pablo Galavis is ready to move on in hopes of finding true love!
When Week 2 of The Bachelor airs on January 13, Juan will head off on his first dates of the season. The sexy single father will enjoy two one-on-ones: a romantic winter wonderland with hairstylist Clare Crawley and a 5k run with pro dancer Kat Hurd. (That's right, he forces her to participate in a race. Talk about our worst nightmare.)
The original date ideas continue as Juan enlists 13 other ladies for a photoshoot benefitting Models n Mutts, an organization that raises money for animals in need. Each bachelorette's assigned a puppy to pose with and an outfit to wear... but when a few revealing costumes are also handed out, two of the women have second thoughts about continuing on.
Click through to get a sneak peek at Juan Pablo's "bitchtastic" photoshoot (get it?!), then make sure to tune in when it airs on Monday, January 13 at 8 p.m. on ABC!

ABC Drops Killer Women From Schedule — It's Likely to Be Canceled
Killer Women isn't killing it, folks. The Hollywood Reporter states that ABC is dropping the new drama like it's (not) hot, curtailing its new season so that it ends two weeks early — ending with its sixth episode on February 18 instead of its eighth on March 4 — after the show pulled in fewer than 4 million viewers for each of its first two installments. The show — an adaptation of the Argentine crime drama Mujeres Asesinas — focuses on Molly Parker (played by Battlestar Galactica vet Tricia Helfer): a former beauty queen, recent divorcee, and current Texas Ranger. The cast also includes Marc Blucas, Alex Fernandez, Marta Milans, and Michael Trucco. Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara is one of the executive producers. In addition to not attracting an audience, the show also failed to win over many critics. THR's Tim Goodman writes, "This is a really bad show. It's a show so bad that if it was smart enough to be a spoof, it would be genius. But it's not." As the show ends early, its timeslot replacement — a crime-solving drama called Mind Games — moves up a couple weeks accordingly, premiering on February 25 instead of March 11. Granted, ABC hasn't officially canceled Killer Women, but the writing is on the wall. Time to ride off into the sunset, Molly Parker.

On May 31, 2011, the Supreme Court clarified the intent requirement for induced infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), which states that "[w]hoever actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as an infringer." Global-Tech Appliances, et al. v. SEB S.A., No. 10-6 (October 12, 2010). The question presented was:
Whether the legal standard for the state of mind element of a claim for actively inducing infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) is "deliberate indifference of a known risk" that an infringement may occur, as the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held, or "purposeful, culpable expression and conduct" to encourage an infringement, as this Court taught in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913, 937 (2005)?
The case began on August 27, 1999, when SEB sued Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc. ("Montgomery Ward"), Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. ("Global Tech") and Pentalpha Enterprises, Ltd. ("Pentalpha") in the Southern District of New York for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 4,995,312 ("the '312 patent"). The '312 patent is directed to a deep fryer with a well-insulated outer skirt. A jury found that Pentalpha both willfully infringed and induced infringement of claim 1 of the '312 patent and awarded SEB $4.65 million in reasonable royalty. Pentalpha filed post-trial motions on several grounds, most of which the district court denied, except that the court reduced the verdict by $2 million. The district court awarded SEB enhanced damages and attorneys' fees, but later vacated that award in light of In re Seagate Technology, 497 F.3d 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2007), and entered judgment against defendants in the amount of $4,878,341. SEB S.A. v. Montgomery Ward & Co., No. 99-9284 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 3, 2008). On October 30, 2008, Pentalpha appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, asserting errors by the district court relating to the jury verdict and several post-trial rulings. SEB cross-appealed and sought enhanced damages.
On February 5, 2010, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court decision and further held that "deliberate indifference" as to whether a product might infringe a patent can satisfy the state of mind element for actively inducing infringement. SEB S.A. v. Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc., 594 F.3d 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2010). The court held that "a claim for inducement is viable even where the patentee has not produced direct evidence that the accused infringer actually knew of the patent-in-suit." Id. at 1377 (emphasis added). The court stated that "deliberate indifference of a known risk is not different from actual knowledge, but is a form of actual knowledge." Id. In this case "[t]he record contain[ed] adequate evidence to support a conclusion that Pentalpha deliberately disregarded a known risk that SEB had a protective patent." Id. The Court focused on Pentalpha's purchasing and copying an SEB deep fryer, and failing to inform the counsel who prepared a "right-to-use study" of the copying. Id.
In the May 31, 2011 opinion by Justice Alito, the Supreme Court affirmed (8-1) the judgment against Global-Tech, but rejected the Federal Circuit's reasoning. Raising the standard for finding induced infringement under § 271(b), the Court rejected the Federal Circuit's standard that allowed liability where there is deliberate indifference to a known risk of infringement. Instead, the Court found that induced infringement under § 271(b) requires knowledge that the induced acts constitute patent infringement. Relying on Aro Mfg. Co. v. Convertible Top Replacement Co., 377 U. S. 476 (1964), in which the Supreme Court held that a violator of § 271(c) must know "that the combination for which his component was especially designed was both patented and infringing," the Court held that a similar knowledge requirement applies to inducement under § 271(b).
The Court upheld the Federal Circuit's judgment of induced infringement, concluding that there was sufficient evidence to support a finding of knowledge under the doctrine of willful blindness. (Slip op., pp. 13-14). Specifically, the Court noted that Pentalpha believed that SEB's fryer embodied technology that would be valuable in the U.S. market based on its decision to copy all but the fryer's cosmetic features. The Court found revealing that Pentalpha copied an overseas model of SEB's fryer, aware that it would not bear U.S. patent markings. The Court also found telling that Pentalpha decided not to inform its attorney that the product to be evaluated was "simply a knockoff of SEB's fryer." Taken together, the Court found sufficient evidence for a jury to find that Pentalpha subjectively believed there was a "high probability" that SEB's fryer was patented and took "deliberate steps to avoid knowing that fact," therefore willfully blinding itself to the infringing nature of Sunbeam's sales. (Slip Op., pp. 14-16).
Justice Kennedy dissented. He concurred with the Court's finding that § 271(b) must be read in tandem with § 271(c), and that therefore, to induce infringement a defendant must know that the induced acts constitute patent infringement. However, Justice Kennedy found the Court mistaken in holding that willful blindness will suffice to show knowledge.

Critical Essay by Mary Paniccia Carden
SOURCE: "Remembering/Engendering the Heartland: Sexed Language, Embodied Space, and America's Foundational Fictions in Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres," in Frontiers, Vol. 18, No. 2, 1997, pp. 181–202.
In the following essay, Carden asserts that Smiley's A Thousand Acres exposes a cultural amnesia created by agrarian life in America that tends to forget and silence the stories of women.
Benedict Anderson defines the modern nation as an "imagined community" that should be distinguished "not by [its] falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which [it is] imagined."1 He suggests that we remember national history by forgetting, that in the process of producing and maintaining a coherent "imagined community," a nation's past is mis-remembered. "Out of such oblivions, in specific historical circumstances,"...

1st TDK Review?
Posted by: Jett Tuesday, April 8, 2008, 1:34 PM CENTRAL
Thanks to a a rough translation from Portuguese from BOF contributor Alexandre Winck (His commentary is in bold below), the following may be the first review of THE DARK KNIGHT -- albeit a covert one. Alexandre says, "I can assure [you all that] the blog is well-known in Brazil (Globo is the largest media corporation here) and the author is a respected journalist." So here goes (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!):
"My secret agent between the Armani suits saw a super private session for THE DARK KNIGHT and came out drooling. It will be a great success, he guarantees, the gadgets (especially the [Bat-Pod], responsible for a acclaimed action sequence ) are crazy and Heath Leger might receive a deserved indication for his Joker, 'a mixture of a fool/clown, schizophrenic, sadistic, and crazy. The guy delivered, got himself into the role and it's unrecognizable. There will be no other Joker after him.'"
"In one scene he repeats to Christian Bale's Batman a line from BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (The guy probably is probably confused here) 'you complete me' -- but in context of 'stalker, crazy/scary.'"
[Blacked-out - Jett] "Another scene with Ledger/The Joker playing dead inside a body bag caused adverse reactions in the audience, for obvious reasons -- it will possibly be cut. (I hope not!)"
"My 'Bond' tells more about the somber epic of Chris Nolan:'It's incredible to create something new and exciting, not only for i's history but in technical terms, nowadays. Many great scenes, impeccable effects. Music and sounds pretty loud, but helping the story. They have a heart beat they use in a sensational way (Remember the 2 note theme from the interview with Zimmer?!), anticipating the next scene -- a psychological trigger ala JAWS ('tan-tan, taqn-tan') ."
"The cast is awesome, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman stealing scenes in which all are present. Maggie Gyllenhaal fantastic replacing Katie Holmes and Aaron Eckhart as a great surprise as the politician with a heart of gold whose personality changes after a horrible accident. Another surprise is Eric Roberts as the mobster he knows so well how to do. Christian Bale solid as ever, cool since Bruce Wayne is a rich playboy and Batman is the opposite. The film plays a lot with this duality, all the characters are complex, has ambiguities, very interesting and delicate here."
"The humor/comedy is totally dark, the movie is very dark and, in this version, a little too long. But will blow us away."
I'll say this, there's a few things that the "review" mentions that I was privy to and that makes me believe that this is legit. And if so, it looks as if TDK is going to be one HELL of a movie! SOURCE: BLOGLOG.GLOBO.COM. |

The document I previously mentioned also said you have to explicitly instruct the ./configure step to compile with threads. I thought, "I'll bet I forgot to do that last time" so I looked in the log. Hm, I'm sure I ran it without any options. So I unpacked the tar.gz file into /tmp and did the ./configure again. It looks like that option is automatic or somehow he knew I had used it a long time back to generate a 2.1.1 library. Is there some intelligence here or are threads automatically included now if the support is there, e. g. threaded mysql and a thread library? I'm running on a Centos 4.4 system.
