DESTIN, Fla. -- There's no question that Florida is a national brand. The name alone gives the Gators national recognition throughout the college sporting world, and for just about every sport the university has to offer, Florida is a top-5 destination.
But that doesn't mean the foundation is free of cracks. It's more than evident on the football field, with the Gators having to hire new coach Jim McElwain in December. But dig further and you'll see that Florida is behind when it comes to the facilities this proud football program has to offer.
With so many programs in college football pushing full force into what will be a never-ending arms race, Florida is behind, especially in the SEC. While its stadium, better known as the Swamp, is one of the nation's most unique and treacherous venues that can house more than 90,000-plus on Saturdays, the other basic football facilities are not on par with most of the league.
The coaches' offices, the locker room, the training facility and the weight room are all locked away under the stadium. Office views consist mostly of the underbelly of the Swamp. Florida is just now constructing an indoor practice facility ($15 million project) that will be ready before the season starts, and Florida is one of the few SEC programs without a separate football building outside of its stadium.
"We've got a ways to go," McElwain said of Florida's football facilities. "We've got some great things going on with our housing situation, our office of student life, obviously our indoor [practice facility]. We have a lot of great things to offer at the University of Florida. Now, are we at the top with the Taj Mahals with what's going out there? No, but at the same time we're making movements."
Florida's approach toward facilities is slowly changing. More importantly, athletic director Jeremy Foley is making the football facilities more of a priority now.
It became obvious with the plans to finally construct that much-needed, 120-yard indoor practice facility and the $25 million pumped into the construction of a state-of-the-art academic center for all student-athletes. These projects were a long while coming when you consider that the last major upgrade for the football program came in 2009 when the school spent $28 million on the Heavener Football Complex, which stands as the face of Florida football at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Foley has taken considerable criticism for Florida's lack of significant football upgrades over the years, but when asked about that at the SEC spring meetings this week, Foley made the point that even with Florida's strong brand, it can't just throw money around whenever it wants to.
"Facilities are always important to us," Foley said. "I think there's an impression out there that the University of Florida doesn't pay attention to its facilities. Right now, we've got about $100 million worth of projects on the drawing board, significantly on the drawing board.
"We're not Fort Knox. You've got to try to utilize your resources the best you can, and we're blessed to have the resources. I just think that sometimes there's an impression that it's unlimited. There are some things that we want to get done with our football program, as it relates to some things for our student-athletes -- team lounge, expanding the hydrotherapy area, looking at their locker room, things like that. We have architects looking at that now."
Florida doesn't have unlimited cash flow and there are plenty of other successful sports that need finances as well, but Florida's late addition to the football arms race (the real money maker) can and has affected recruiting. Has it been a major deterrent? Doubtful, but as every program around Florida expands and gets prettier, UF has to evolve as well or risk getting left behind.
Florida got by on name alone in the past. When Steve Spurrier was winning in the 1990s, he made the point that you don't need pretty facilities to be successful. And he was right ... back then.
"They've never been considered the top because we did not have an indoor facility," Spurrier said of Florida's facilities. "The practice fields, we had about a 100-yard and an 80-yarder and that was it. We had a lot of good players, though, and that offsets facilities, that's for sure. Florida obviously had a lot of success the last 20 years or so without the best facilities in the country, that's for sure. Now, they're having to keep up with everybody else sort of like we all do."
Things have considerably changed, and recruits -- like it or not -- are attracted to nice, shiny, new things. They want to feel treated like royalty, even if they've just left senior prom.
McElwain made it a point to put facilities near the top of his immediate priorities list when he arrived, and progress is being made. Other projects are being considered, and it sounds like Florida is moving in the right direction. Staying on that path is key.
"At the end of the day it's all part of the formula, it's not just bells and whistles," Foley said. "Trust me, you can look around the country, a lot of programs have a lot of bells and whistles and they're not achieving what the University of Florida is. It's all part of the formula. Facilities will always be part of the conversation."

Surfliner and Coaster could be affected by Amtrak proposal
In Washington, D.C., David Johnson of the 16,000-member National Association of Railroad Passengers, said Monday that his group opposes the administration plan, much of which is similar to a 2003 reform proposal that failed to muster much support in Congress.
Thursday's Senate hearing could go a long way in shaping the debate, Johnson said.
"There's just a lot of unanswered questions right now," he said. "We should know more by the end of the week after the hearing takes place and all the cards are laid out on the table."
Most Amtrak service in California outside of San Diego County takes place over tracks owned by freight railroads, which lease the right to use the tracks. In this county, the tracks are owned and maintained by the North County Transit District.

Christmas Song Less Costly for Hunters
Most of the civilized world figures they really are gold rings. But the fact is, we are talking birds here, as any good outdoorsperson knows. Probably ring-necked pheasants.
See, they were originally pictured as golden ring-necked pheasants in the old English drinking song. Ask any pheasant hunter.
This is why you need to get outdoors more often. If you don't, you probably think we are singing about jewelry here. Learn about pheasant hunting, and learn something about your yuletide roots.
Did you know that you can calculate the cost of the gifts listed in the carol? Here's a rough estimate:
It's going to cost around $14,458 — up from $13,249 last Christmas. That cost is based on the price of only five gold rings, when in fact you are giving your love five gold rings for eight of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Add that up and you get 40 gold rings. Not only that, but most people figure that's the cost of gold, not of pheasants.
To get the cost of pheasants, search Google's 42 million pheasant sites and find the one that offers the best deal. Game birds — unless you headed to the pheasant-release sites last fall — are costly this year.
Indeed, the real cost of the gifts is significantly higher when you do the math. Here are the total number of gifts in the 12 Days of Christmas:
12 partridges
12 pear trees
22 turtle doves
30 French hens
36 calling birds (make that "colly birds" or blackbirds)
40 gold rings
42 geese
An unspecified number of goose eggs, although you could probably check with the local Audubon Society to get the average number of eggs laid by a goose and multiply it by 42, for rough calculating.
42 swans. The swan market is extremely volatile this year.
Enough water for the swans to a-swim, and something to hold all that water.
40 maids a-milking and something to keep all that milk fresh. The milk has got to stay fresh for five days while you're unloading all that other junk on your true love.
40 cows.
36 ladies dancing.
30 lords a-leaping.
22 pipers.
22 pipes.
12 drummers.
12 drums.
Some versions have 12 drummers drumming and 10 lords a-leaping. And some versions have nine ladies dancing instead of drummers drumming, 10 pipers piping and a dozen lords a-leaping.
Is it nine drummers or nine ladies? Is it 10 lords a-leaping or 10 pipers piping? These are the sorts of questions you are bound to ask yourself if you — like me — would just as soon move on to some other holiday.
A final note: If you were a hunter, you'd save a bunch of money on the geese, swans, partridges, doves, French hens and maybe blackbirds — assuming your hunting licenses were in order.

Cricket Association of Bengal president Jagmohan Dalmiya called it a "sensible" decision for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to convene an emergent meeting of its working committee at Mumbai on April 20, in the wake of the Supreme Court order that forced N. Srinivasan to step aside as BCCI president.
"I am happy that better sense has prevailed and an emergent meeting of the working committee has been convened by the BCCI.
"In fact, there are some issues of serious nature that need to be discussed at the earliest," said a release from Mr. Dalmiya.
"After all, it cannot be denied that the image of the BCCI has taken a beating of late.
"Therefore, it is of paramount importance to ensure that the BCCI's image is restored in the eyes of the cricket loving public in India," the former ICC and BCCI chief added in his statement.

School district, Botanic Garden, Leichtag among education cluster
Environment cluster to benefit students, seniors in Encinitas
ENCINITAS Students from Encinitas elementary schools will explore history by talking to senior citizens, get their hands dirty while studying agriculture and learn at places unique to their community under a new partnership formed by some of the city's best-known organizations.
The so-called Encinitas Environmental Education Cluster — or E3 Cluster — is a memorandum of understanding signed last month by the Encinitas Union School District, Leichtag Foundation, Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA, Seacrest Village Retirement Communities, San Dieguito Heritage Museum and San Diego Botanic Garden.
The agreement takes advantage of the groups' proximity to one another, with all members owning property between Quail Gardens Drive and Saxony Road on the east and west and between Leucadia and Encinitas boulevards on the north and south.
The school district plans to open an agroecology learning center this summer on a 10-acre site on the southeast corner of Quail Gardens Drive and Ecke Ranch Road, just across the entrance to the San Dieguito Heritage Museum.
The Leichtag Foundation, an Encinitas-based philanthropic organization, joined the cluster neighborhood in 2012 with the purchase of the former Ecke Poinsettia ranch, which is being converted into a 67.5-acre community agricultural center.
"We knew there was a potential for some sort of collaboration that would further all of our goals," Baird said about the idea between the E3 Cluster.
The MOU isn't just about students going on field trips. It may mean San Diego Botanic Garden will make special accommodations for seniors at the retirement communities or work with the Heritage Museum on plans to improve traffic conditions or share parking during special events, for example.
Roger Bolus, vice president of the San Dieguito Heritage Board of Directors, said the cluster affiliates have met once to address common issues.
"We had been wondering how we might work with the Leichtag Foundation," Bolus said. "We share parking with the San Diego Botanic Garden. We have had curriculum development with the school district, but we were wondering how we would formulize the relationships."
The agreement outlines four goals: preserving and encouraging access to nature, supporting environmental education and health for people of all ages, developing educational programs for all ages, and leveraging the programs and resources of each partner to achieve the goals.
Baird said the district will develop a curriculum with the Botanic Garden and Heritage Museum, which already are working with local schools.
Meetings with affiliates also can help coordinate projects and prevent duplications or even unintentional competition.
"We don't want to replicate everything they're doing across the street," Baird said about the Leichtag Foundation. "It might make sense that maybe we both don't want to have fruit and vegetable stands. Or perhaps the Leichtag Foundation will grow different types of produce."
Baird said he envisions a curriculum that would incorporate the district's farm with lessons at the Heritage Museum that would help make the area's agricultural history more real to students.
The district also could work with the YMCA on preschool and after-school programs and could develop projects with the retirement communities to give students and residents a multigenerational experience.

Doody ReviewsReviewer: Kenan Rifat Omurtag, MD (Washington University School of Medicine)
Description: This is an updated and comprehensive yet detailed summary of the developments in reproductive endocrinology since the last edition was published in 2006. This edition retains the three-part format that provides structure and focus for readers.
Purpose: The expansive reach of the topics present the significant blend of basic science and clinical research that have propelled this field to the forefront of scientific discovery. This book's goal is to provide a current foundation of knowledge for any basic scientists and/or clinicians interested in reproductive science. Each chapter provides substantive detail, giving readers a thorough perspective on each aspect of reproductive science.
Audience: This is a must-have for any basic scientists interested in reproductive biology, neuroendocrinology, endocrinology, immunology, parturition, or steroid biology. Clinicians and high complexity lab directors in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, particularly trainees in these areas, also understand that this book is essential to their library. All chapters are written by authorities and most are written by the original physician or scientist who contributed directly to the particular chapter topic.
Features: The book takes readers on a gradual journey across the reproductive landscape, starting microscopically at the level of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and traveling macroscopically through the structure, function, and control of the female reproductive tract. It transitions nicely to the pathophysiology of sexual development and then to the topics related to diagnosis and management of infertility. Finally, the book describes advanced reproductive technologies, detailing both the basic science and clinical findings surrounding the development of these technologies. Each chapter provides a historical context for the topic, which helps trainees and provides perspective for mentors. The editors have an A-list of authors for each chapter, which ensures that readers get expert guidance. The book is more mobile than previous editions, as readers have the ability to read the book online. A full list of references no longer follows each chapter, however; they are now online.
Assessment: The explosion of knowledge in the field of reproductive endocrinology and infertility requires an up-to-date reference. This book provides a thorough review of each significant finding since the first endocrinology experiment done over 150 years ago. Each chapter is written by the expert in that field, making this the encyclopedia for reproductive endocrinologists starting at the fellowship level. Residents in training in obstetrics and gynecology or those preparing for exams dealing with these topics may find the book too detailed and may prefer Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility , 7th edition, Speroff and Fritz (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005) , which highlights major points in each chapter.

Name A Movie You Have Seen More Than Three Times
In the interests of an almost wordless post, we ask you to name a movie you have seen more than three times...
I can only think of one that I know I have definitely seen more than three times and that is the Wizard of Oz. Okay, maybe I can add Grease and It's A Wonderful Life.
There are always so many new movies to watch that I cannot make myself rewatch one that I have already seen! You?
See you
at the movies

Besides The Wizard of Oz (which we watched every year when I was a kid) and The Sound of Music (which my kids enjoyed and we watched several times), the movie I've watched more than three times is my favorite "feel good" movie, You've Got Mail. And yes, I have most of the dialogue memorized. Now when I watch it, I love to look for some new little detail that I've missed in the past.

Judge Mathis Net Worth: Judge Mathis is an American (retired) Superior Court Judge who has a net worth of $20 million. Judge Mathis (given name Gregory Mathis) now presides over the syndicated series called Judge Mathis, which features Mathis adjudicating small claims disputes. The cases presented on the show 'Judge Mathis' are classified as tort law, civil disputes with a maximum $5,000 claim, a typical amount for small claims court. The producers of the show select the cases. To acquire cases, the show solicits real-life litigants with pending disputes or individuals with potential disputes. If litigants agree to be on the show, they must enter into a legally binding agreement in order to be held under the judgment. For added entertainment value, aspiring singers and rappers who appear on the show may even be granted a moment to showcase their talents from the lectern. In recent years, the show has begun to conduct paternity testing in disputes about child custody as well as drug testing in applicable cases. Mathis often offers or compels drug treatment and family counseling for parties. In other media, the Judge Mathis show appeared in an episode of The Steve Harvey Show; Romeo, Bullethead and Lydia sued Steve and Regina over a damaged computer that Steve confiscated from them during class. Since Judge Mathis had appeared at the school earlier in the week, the kids took their case to the Judge Mathis show (and won).

An awesome Super Metroid medley, performed by the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra at Orchestral Game Concert #4 (1994). A worthy tribute to what is considered by many to be one of the greatest games of all time. Super Metroid took Metroid's ideas and took them to a new level. It has impeccable level design, and should be considered as 2D gaming design at its finest. The medley is structured as follows: Theme of Samus Aran (0:00-2:08) Crateria (2:09-2:41) Brinstar Green Vegetation (2:42-4:00) Brinstar Red Soil (4:01-5:39) Super Metroid Ending Theme (5:40-8:05) The orchestrated take on 'Brinstar - Green Vegetation' is my favourite bit. The climax at (3:37-3:57) is incredibly powerful. The eye popping Super Metroid HD mock-up is done by Alchemist Defined, whose website you can find at http://alchemistdefined.wiredotaku.com. The artist deserves huge props for this. Super Metroid HD may never come into fruition (perhaps rightly so -- Nintendo shouldn't go the way of say, SquareEnix), so this picture is as close as you'll probably ever get to a remake.

Comparison of some of the effects in MP1 Vs. MPTrilogy. One of the reasons ppl have said was that the cannon used to be 2D, but now its 3D because of the Wii Cursor. But still they could have included the most important part... deformable water! lol Come On.

Leigh's Syndrome (Leigh's Disease) Center - St. Louis, MO
WebMD Physician Directory
St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis is an independent city in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The city contributed to the musical styles of blues, ragtime, and jazz. The St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful Major League Baseball teams, make their home at Busch Stadium. Other professional teams include the St. Louis Rams (football) and St. Louis Blues (hockey). A diversity of successful sports franchises has led to St. Louis being called "North America's Best Sports City." The city's many 19th-century breweries shaped beer in the United States, most notably Anheuser-Busch, Falstaff Brewing Corporation, and Lemp Brewery. The vestiges of French and Spanish colonization make St. Louis one of the largest centers of Roman Catholicism in the United States.

A follow-up study of first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients presented the opportunity to study the association of components of the metabolic syndrome with oral glucose tolerance in these subjects. In 1992, 25 years after the first analysis of the cohort, we performed 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests and measured anthropometric data (body mass index, waist-hip ratio), insulin and C-peptide concentrations, and parameters of lipoprotein metabolism (free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL cholesterol). Of 135 participants, 71 had normal glucose tolerance (GT), 22 had impaired GT, and 42 had diabetic GT (WHO 1985 criteria). Impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes were significantly (Kruskal- Wallis test) associated with advanced age (p=0.001), higher body mass index (p=0.005) and waist-hip ratio (p=0.027), systolic hypertension (p=0.031), elevated basal insulin concentrations (p<0.001), higher free fatty acids (p<0.001) and triglycerides (p=0.017), and lower HDL cholesterol (p=0.003); no associations were found with total and LDL cholesterol levels (Friedewald's formula, p=0.25). Abnormalities (obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension, pathological oral glucose tolerance) were associated with significant deterioriations in all other components of the metabolic syndrome, if their number exceeded three. Disturbances of oral glucose tolerance are present in a high percentage of first-degree relatives after 25 years of follow-up (51% of those tested). Impaired or diabetic glucose tolerance in such a cohort was associated with overweight, hypertension and disturbances of lipoprotein metabolism characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. Hypercholesterolemia (LDL-cholesterol) is not a component of the metabolic syndrome in a German population with a high hereditary burden regarding type 2 diabetes. A metabolic syndrome should certainly be diagnosed if three components are present, although even in the presence of only two components, an elevated risk is evident.

Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing **found solution**
Hi people.
I have had this problem for a while now, it is the only thing that is causing me to not use SUSE 10 as my main desktop system.
When I install the Nvidia nvsound driver (from www.nvidia.com) and made the changes to /etc/modprobe.d/sound and reboot the system becomes very unstable.
After installing the driver It has about 1 in 10 chance of being able to boot to system, it mostly locks up at random on boot, if it does actualy manage to boot then there is 1 in 2 change of usb working (this is without making any changes)
This problem has existed for open suse on my machine since RC1, I have tried the 3.06 and 3.10 nvidia drivers.
Here are some things to consider regarding this issue:-
It is SUSE specific:-
- The same machine runs the same driver fine on the following OS's - Mandriva 2006, Kubuntu 5.10 and Fedora 4.
- It is not the SUSE kernel as I have tested using vanilla kernel (+ck patch) on Kubuntu and Suse - Kubuntu works fine, Suse crashes randomly.
I know I could just use ALSA, but the nvsound driver is much better to listen to music through.
Any help in troubleshooting this (i,e want log files to look in) would be great, one reason why this is going to be hard to troubleshoot is the random nature of the crashing once I have enabled nvsound.
Here are my specs:-
Motherboard : Nforce 2 - Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe BIOS 1013 - Reiserfs 3.6
Re: Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing
I have the exact same problem, and the exact same board, with exactly the same BIOS, and exactly the same filesystem. I run Kanotix 2005-04. I haven't figured out what is causing this behavior yet, but the problem mostly occcurs when I connect a HP Deskjet 3550 printer to the USB. That makes a hard lockup virtually guaranteed.
Re: Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing
Hmmm......it indeed seems to be related to the USB. Or it could be an IRQ issue. It seems that different BIOS configurations give different results. This IRQ configuration works for me at the moment. Thats nearly good news. Because then it's probably unnecessesary to disable them completely. I keep trying... I will post again when I know more about this

12: 5177 XT-PIC i8042

15: 14842 XT-PIC ide1
EDIT: I think it's specificly related to ehci_hcd:usb3 . My computer seems to lock up in different IRQ configurations, but it's always related to that device as far as I can tell.
Re: Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing
I give up. I've recompiled my kernel 15 times and tried numerous configuratiions, but no solution. But I think it.s the usb-ohci support which
detects the nVidia MCP chip in kernel 2.6.15 (latest kerneltree), but only when the nvsound module is loaded
Re: Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing
I found a solution; go back to kernel 22.214.171.124 (verified and working) or use ALSA and drop the hardware mixing. Nvidia explicitly stated in their release notes, that they just recently added support for this branch of kernels. I just didn't read it, but I should have. Personally, I think the MCP is well worth it (the sound quality is AMAZING!) . So I'm happy.
Re: Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing
184.108.40.206 works too: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...6.12.6.tar.bz2
A piece of advice to anybody who cares; when Nvidia explicitly states that support has been added to a specific branch of kernels, don't expect the drivers to work with a newer branch, much less a branch under development. 126.96.36.199 is less than ½ a year old. So all in all, I think Nvidia supports linux well. Pun intended to all those users who expect their drivers to magicly work every time with a UNSUPPORTED kernel branch new as wet paint, and bitch about it when they don't. I have read numerous rants about this in here, and they (and myself) could have saved themselves plenty of headaches, by simply reading the release notes.
Found a solution.
This is using the Suse kernel 2.6.13-15.7 - I will test it on the 2.6.15 kernel later.
All I did was disable the onboard Nforce network card, I use the other onboard one (sk98lin), then installed the driver and did the changes to the /etc/modprobe.d/sound.
I am so happy this works !!
Re: Suse10 + nvsound = random crashing
Ignore Last email, it still isn't working. Well it worked until I rebooted.
However i have installed the driver successfully in Gentoo!

how can they know how well the materials, the electronics, fuel feed system, etc will hold up out of the test bed? in a real world application? up to 40% of VASIMR's output is waste heat...how will that effect the station? the engines components? it's going to be in pulsed operation on the station how will that change the engine? it's power characteristics? will it stress the the electronics that control everything?
they have to test it, and probably will continue to test it for a few more years...i can totally agree with that approach, better safe than sorry. there is no margin for error in space. no tow truck that will come and tow you home. it has to be proven reliable. lives will depend on it.
True better safe than sorry but surely it does not take that long to see if it can and can't do all those you have mentioned?

It added that at this time the certification of the case as class action suit was a "procedural step" and that none of the allegations raised have been assessed or determined by the court.
"The company continues to deny that the allegations will be proven at trial," it said without commenting on the details of the alleged misrepresentation.
According to information on its website, Canada Lithium on 28 October 2010 announced an update on estimated lithium oxide reserves at

The geeks have heard it all before.
So much so that the programmers at MacPlay - a division of Irvine software company Interplay that develops Apple Computer games - could write this story themselves.
"The angle? Apple's going down in flames - will we survive?!" cries Macintosh High Priest (his actual title) Bill "Weez" Dugan.
"I want a new job!" Diversion Director Tim Hume chimes in. Then he starts wandering the room, muttering, "Get me a Windows book. I need to learn a new language."
They fall in a wallow of laughter.
Perhaps the ear-pierced wireheads haven't ventured out of their dark, windowless (and Windows-less) offices recently. Don't they know that Apple just announced a loss of $69 million for the past quarter and will lose an additional $125 million with a restructuring that includes 1,300 layoffs?
Has news of Windows 95 not hit Orange County yet?
Dugan, Hume and Chris De Salvo - the third "Mac geek," as they call themselves - stare blankly, as most people would greet a longhaired prophet with sandwich boards and bells declaring the end of the world.
"No company with $11 billion in sales is going to die," says De Salvo, rolling his eyes and turning his attention back to his PowerMac.
Hume - who sees "troubled" as an adjective for Apple Computer so often that he considers it part of the company name - just shrugs. That's what "they" said in 1984. And 1988. And 1993, the year MacPlay was founded.
But in early 1996, coming out of a year when MacPlay had an estimated $10.4 million in sales, the geeks are "bullish on the Macintosh," Dugan says. The earthquakes at Apple's Cupertino headquarters haven't brought any tremors this way. And analyst house PC Data's recent announcement that MacPlay is the largest Macintosh game developer (with 13.2 percent of the market) has brought the coders renewed vigor.
"We're Mac zealots . . . and we're out to take over the world," Dugan says.
So let's dash the geeks' writing aspirations. Nowhere will we use the terms "brave face," "hopeful in the face of hopelessness" or, um, "mad." Nowhere will we call them the Kings of Atlantis. They're confident. They're proud. They see MacPlay as a successful, viable little giant far into the future.
Without sounding unduly pessimistic, however, here's what they're up against:
Macintosh market share hovers around 10 percent - mainly because Apple Computer has heretofore not allowed "clones" of its machines to be produced by other companies. Though clones will appear soon, it's unlikely that Macintosh computers can catch up to the PC-based systems supported mainly by Intel chips and the Windows operating system.
That 10 percent centers mainly on publishers and schools, which some analysts say could become Apple's niche market. Good for software companies Adobe and Quark, which make artist software; bad for game makers such as MacPlay.
A typical Macintosh-to-PC software ratio in any store is one shelf vs. four rows. This can be two-edged: MacPlay has three full-time programmers compared with Interplay's 35. Yet because the Macintosh realm is smaller, MacPlay is the No. 1 producer of Mac games; Interplay is the No. 4 producer of PC games. It's the whole big-fish, small-pond scenario.
In Dataquest analyst Scott Miller's words, "It's a vicious cycle." Fewer software titles equals fewer computer sales equals fewer software titles. Interplay is very happy with MacPlay's performance, but Dugan admits that every once in a while, the CFO wanders in to inquire, "When are we going to stop developing for this tiny little platform?"
Not soon, if you ask the Mac geeks. On their side, they've got:
A loyal Macintosh following.
Strong software sales considering the low Apple market share.
For the first three quarters of 1995, according to the Software Publishers Association, Windows entertainment software amounted to $178 million in sales. But Macintosh entertainment revenue was $59 million, 25 percent of the total sales, belying the platform's hardware sales penetration.
And while Apple has lost money, Macintosh software sales are up 48 percent from last year; and they were up 83 percent from 1993 to 1994, according to the association.
And, of course, chutzpah.
Take Dugan, who oversees Macintosh development. A towering 6-foot-6 in black hightops and '70s shoulder-length hair, Dugan drinks an average of four 1-liter cups of Diet Coke and Dr Pepper to fuel each day of coding, gaming, coding, producing, coding, promoting and coding.
The geeks may froth at the mouth when their beloved Mac is disparaged, but they never lose their sense of humor. When Tim Cain, a project leader from Interplay's PC side, rips into the Mac mouse - "When I program, I'm not going to ignore this button," he says, referring to the second Windows' mouse button - Dugan says in an aside, "He's pushing MY buttons right now."
Clumped at the ages of 25 to 29, the MacPlay trio make no distinction between worldly passions and work; they share a love of Dungeons and Dragons, Diet Coke, Pink Floyd and the Macintosh operating system, evidence of which adorns their offices.
Dugan has worked on and off for Interplay since 1986 and was part of the internal revolution that created MacPlay. Through the late 1980s, Interplay - like many software companies - hired a few Macintosh programmers to "port," or translate, existing PC games to the Apple platform.
These ports were "generally of poor quality," Dugan says, adding that they were eight months to a year behind the PC games in hitting the market. Dugan used to get chewed out for neglecting his DOS and Windows projects while he was helping the Macintosh hackers.
Now that Dugan has his own playground, he's helping to undo the porting prejudice. More and more titles are being "core coded," or simultaneously developed for both PC and Macs. "Descent II," a follow-up to the popular 3-D killer robot flying game, should premiere on both platforms in March.
LucasArts, one of the few other software developers that has shown a commitment to the Macintosh (though it does not have a separate division) is doing similarly. There was only a three-week lapse between the two versions of "Rebel Assault II" over the Christmas holiday.
"We realize that people who own Macs want good, high-quality games," says Mary Bihr, director of sales and marketing for LucasArts. "You can't just toss something off."
Still, rarely is anything developed for the Macintosh and translated to PC. Most independent programmers, the ones who pitch their game ideas to the big companies for development, want to work with the platform that has the largest user base.

Liberty Fitness joins the race
Membership at Liberty Fitness Centers costs $170 to join, but vary on the monthly fee depending on the duration of the membership.
With gyms opening from Livermore to Ocala, Fla., there are 53 Liberty Fitness centers in the United States. Harper said there will be an additional seven by the end of June.
Before allowing a new franchisee to open a Liberty Fitness Center, Harper said she puts them through a certification program so that they will know how to run the business and deal with the equipment.
All but Harper's first gym in La Costa are run and owned by franchisees, she said.
Once the La Costa facility that Harper and her brother own was ready to open, the contractor who built the gym told the siblings that if they made it into a franchise, he would be the first to buy one, which he did.
The chain grew slowly at first, but by May 2003, it started to explode in popularity, Harper said, adding that gross sales are nearing $2 million.
"I've always said if I could change one person's life, I'd be happy, but I think by now it's more than that, so I'm on top of the world," Harper said.

Things couldn't have begun on a better note for Dutch manager Louis van Gaal, who joins the Manchester United on Wednesday, hours after they regained their position as the World's most valuable club. The club replaced Real Madrid at the top spot after signing a £750million kit deal with Adidas.
According to the Wall Street, United now boasts of an enterprise value of $3.6 billion, showing a considerable increase from its value of $2.81 billion in April. The new $130 million a year kit deal has helped ManU leap past clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona who'd been the top two clubs in value according to Forbes.
Though United will be disappointed to be missing out on the 2014-15 Champions League, a first since the 1995-96 season, because of finishing seventh in the Premier League table last season, they aren't wasting any time reminiscing about past demons. They are making every attempt to ensure that United's absence from that competition will be a brief one.
The newly hired Louis Van Gaal, who was the former manager of Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, returns from directing Netherlands to a third place finish in the FIFA World Cup 2014. Joining with him are two new transferees—Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao and Luke Shaw from Southampton.
Shares of Manchester United rose by almost 5% on Tuesday after the announcement of German sportswear maker Adidas replacing its US rival, Nike. The deal with Adidas will begin during the 2015-16 season.

Poetry Anyone?
I love this guy! He's really good. Ian Williams is Canadian and teaches at Sheridan College.
Hooked on Hinterland
He's dark, brooding and troubled. He lives in a trailer, or a "caravan" as they call it, one that has bugs and mould. If that's not enticing, he misses his children and cries alone in his trailer.
Richard Harrington plays Tom Mathias in the Welsh drama, "Hinterland". Season One can be found on Netflix. It's unlike the American dramas that flash murder and guns on the screen: this one is subtle, and every murder here has layers.
It's worth watching if you're a Netflix watcher. Harrington is excellent!
Talking to Strangers
"It's an Irish hat", she tells me. "It was made in Ireland".
Good to know, I think to myself.
It's not unusual for me to find myself somewhere talking to a stranger. I don't mean the station wagon, gingham wearing type of stranger – I mean a scary person. I mean the type of person your parents warn you about and stay awake at night worrying about.
She is toothless, her hygiene is wanting and her toe nails are long. They are so long in fact, that I doubt wearing shoes is possible for her. And yet, she and I had in depth conversation about this lost hat.
The hat, the Irish hat, had been discarded at the bus stop. Most likely it had slipped from the man's arms, which were holding too much already. Or, maybe a great gust of wind came up suddenly and sent this Irish hat flying from his head.
Regardless, the hat was now without its owner and my friend, this scary person, is concerned about returning it to him.
She models the hat for me and almost does a little gig. She stops, though, and adjusts it differently.
"It feels strange", she tells me.
"It's probably dirty", I tell her.
"Do you think someone is looking for it?", she asks me.
I can tell she is considering what to do. She looks at the building in front of us and, I know, she wants to deliver it honestly to the front desk. I can image the reaction. Her mind might even be considering a campaign on Facebook or Twitter. Perhaps she will tweet about the Irish hat daily for a week until the man notices these tweets and attempts to contact her. "@bus stop#bring money".
Others at the bus stop have stepped away from her and yet I cannot move. Perhaps the reason is because it's the end of the day and I'm tired. Perhaps I feel evil about abruptly ending our conversation.
I do, though, secretly wish for the early arrival of the bus for I fear she might ask to exchange phone numbers with me.
It's within consideration that she might be respectable in certain situations. Those toe nails could be cut; that hair could be washed. I could even throw the Irish hat in the washing machine and give it a fluff and dry in the dryer. That would make her happy. I'm certain of it.
And yet when the bus does appear, I rush to it too quickly and I don't look back. I exchanged pleasantries with her. My commitment is done, is it not?
However, I have looked for her, somewhat reluctantly, when I returned to the same bus stop. The hat is gone, too. I imagine it resides on her head now, hiding the dirty hair, but giving her a regal look too. She probably wears it eating breakfast at MacDonalds every morning and especially at bingo on Saturday nights. She might even wear it when she visits her brother at the half way house. He will be envious of such a nice hat, such a nice Irish hat.
Maybe I should start wearing hats.
Jerry Lee, (1999-2014) R.I.P.
Jerry loved starched pillow cases, fresh cut grass, butterflies, flowers, and could not resist the temptation of a crumpled piece of tin foil.
Salmon juice was her favorite drink. She took it straight up, and when she was finished, she would pound her paws on the table for more. She was also known for tapping Pam on the back in the middle of the night, almost to say: "Are you awake, Pam?"
Jerry Lee died today at 1:30.
She will be missed greatly by Pam, Lucy, Ebony and Minnie (to some degree), Grandpa and Grandma, too.
Goodbye my muffin head; rest in peace.

A Food Bank for Anna
Anna is hungry and so is her family.
This week Anna Windass of the British tv soap "Coronation Street" put her pride aside and went to the local food bank to feed her family. She broke down once inside, sobbing uncontrollably. There she was instructed about the sobering facts of hunger and realized that she was not alone. It can happen to anyone.
Illness, unemployment, disability are all issues that can leave someone desperate. It's said that an individual should have enough savings, (accessible funds ) for three years of recovery. That's how long it takes for someone to get back on their feet. If you pay out $1, 500 a month in expenses, multiply that by 36 months. ($54,000) Most people do not have that much put away, and take in mind, I have not considered any emergencies you might have in those three years, nor medical prescriptions.
Hence, you can see why it's very easy for people to end up on welfare. If there is no recovery in this scenario, the prognosis is grim and leaves one relying on social assistance indefinitely.
The ease of getting food in this episode is perhaps not realistic. Here are some misconceptions I noticed in the show:
1. Generally, you do not just walk in. You have to set up an appointment where you register to see if you are indeed eligible. Your income and expenses are documented and any changes must be noted to the agency immediately.
2. As well, you are generally only allowed one visit per month. This is due to the incredible demand for food in Ontario. Some cities have more than one food bank, so if you are really organized, you could visit one per week.
3. It's common for food banks to close in the summer months. Donations are down during the summer. Hunger is not just at Christmas. People tend to forget about the people in need during the remaining 11 months of the year. This is somewhat ironic too since produce is plentiful during the summer.
4. Many food donations are stale or past their date of expiration. I have often heard people complain about others who take advantage of food banks. I am not sure if that's an accurate perception.
So, please think of Anna or the women she represents.
If you have a garden right now and have excess stock, I encourage you to drop these vegetables off to your nearest food bank.

Nurses at dozens of Calif. hospitals strike
SAN FRANCISCO Nurses in red union shirts carried signs and chanted slogans outside dozens of Northern and Central California hospitals into the night Thursday as part of a one-day strike over benefit cuts and other concessions sought by hospital management.
The California Nurses Association, the union organizing the strike, expected nearly 23,000 nurses to participate although hospital officials reported that many nurses had crossed the picket line.
Union officials could not provide an estimate of how many nurses took part in the strike, but Charles Idelson, a spokesman for the California Nurses Association, described it as "overwhelming participation."
Striking nurses were planning to return to work at 7 a.m. Friday, but Idelson said he expected lockouts at some of the hospitals.
The strike affected 33 not-for-profit hospitals run by Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health, and the independent Children's Hospital Oakland, said Idelson.
Hospital officials said they had made preparations to minimize any possible patient disruptions. Replacement nurses were on hand at some of the eight Sutter Health hospitals affected by the walk-out, the hospital said.
"Surgeries are continuing, babies are continuing to be born," hospital spokeswoman Karen Garner said.
A strike involving 23,000 nurses would be large, particularly in recent years when the strength of organized labor has declined, said John-Paul Ferguson, assistant professor of organizational labor at Stanford University.
"It's rare for us to have these days in the United States that many people on a coordinated strike," Ferguson said.
The eight hospitals employ about 4,500 nurses who are members of the union, according to Garner. At least at two of the hospitals, a majority of unionized nurses who were scheduled to work reported for duty, Garner said.
"Many of our nurses recognize that our hospitals provide competitive wages, competitive benefits and a rewarding working environment, and they've chosen to report to work to care for our patients," she said.
Children's Hospital Oakland was also expected to bring in replacement nurses. The hospital had rescheduled elective surgeries as well, according to Erin Goldsmith, a hospital spokeswoman.
Kaiser officials said many nurses had crossed the picket line and their hospitals were "fully staffed."
The focus of the strike was Sutter Health, where union officials say nurses in contract negotiations are being asked to accept thousands of dollars in higher costs for their health care.
Sutter's proposed concessions would also reduce the ability of certain nurses to advocate for patients, cut pay for newly hired nurses, and slash vacations and holiday pay, according to the union.
At Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland - a Sutter Health-affiliated hospital - nurses held signs that read, "Community Care, Not Corporate Profits," and "Some Cuts Don't Heal."
"We're not just here for money," said Vicki Theocharis, a nurse in the hospital's oncology unit. "We want to take care of the patients, and it almost feels like we're being penalized for doing it."
Millicent Borland, 65, a nurse on the union bargaining team at Summit Medical Center, said the cuts management has proposed would set a dangerous precedent in the health care industry.

About Peter
I am a litigator with over 20 years of experience, who has successfully represented clients in a variety of matters in venues all over the United States at trial and appellate levels. I have a strong focus on patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret cases. My representations often involve technologies including computer software and hardware, light emitting diodes, bio-technology, semiconductor manufacturing and fabrication, optics and medical devices as well as business methods. I have successfully obtained and defended motions for preliminary injunctions and summary judgment motions involving the Patent Act, Copyright Act, Lanham Act, Digital Millennium Copyright Act and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. In addition to intellectual property litigation I also have experience in computer law including cybersecurity.
Before becoming a partner with Weisbrod, Matteis & Copley, I was a partner at Shulman Rogers, a partner in the New York office of Sidley Austin and before that I was a federal prosecutor with the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section ("CCIPs") of the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice where I worked for over five years.
I've first-chaired several patent and trademark trials and dozens of Markman, preliminary injunction and summary judgment hearings in federal courts throughout the United States and have successfully litigated matters involving complex legal issues and concerning technologies including computer software and hardware, light emitting diodes, bio-technology, semiconductor manufacturing and fabrication, optics and medical devices as well as business methods.
I'm also the author of Intellectual Property & Computer Crimes (Law Journal Press), which has been updated twice a year since first being published in 2003. It has been described as a "must have desk reference." I have also published over 50 legal articles and have given over 60 presentations on a wide variety of legal topics. My article "The Intersection of Intellectual Property and Bankruptcy received the 2010 Burton Award for Legal Achievement. The Burton Awards program, held in association with the Library of Congress, is devoted to recognizing and rewarding excellence in the legal profession. The thirty winners for the 2010 awards were chosen from entries submitted by the nation's 1,000 largest and most prestigious law firms.
I have been recognized in New York Super Lawyers 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010; profiled as an outstanding alumnus of USF Law School.
IP Law and Business featured my trial work in "The Winning Ways of Six IP Trial Teams," August 2003. More recently, I served as lead counsel for co-defendant Adelphia Communications. Adelphia and other large cable companies were accused of infringing patents for cable modems. After originally seeking damages of over $120 million from Adelphia alone, plaintiff agreed to enter into a consent judgment of noninfringement.
I've argued numerous times before the Second, Fifth, Ninth and Federal Circuits involving patent, copyright and trademark law. And I've also successfully handled a number of internal investigations involving federal criminal laws on behalf of large corporations and served on Sidley's committee on electronic discovery.
