Just because I ran into it in a random Google search and I like it, here I am reposting some content from a post I made exactly five months ago, "The Challenge of Self-Replication":
What is remarkable are those that seem to argue, like Ray Kurzweil, the Foresight Institute, and the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, that humanity is inherently capable of managing universal self-replicating constructors without a near-certain likelihood of disaster. Currently Mumbai is under attack by unidentified terrorists — they are sacrificing their lives to kill, what, 125 people? I can envision a scenario in 2020 or 2025 that is far more destructive and results in the deaths of not hundreds, but millions or even billions of people. There are toxins with an LD50 of one nanogram per kilogram of body weight. A casualty count exceeding World War II could theoretically be achieved with just a single kilogram of toxin and several tonnes of delivery mechanisms. We know that complex robotics can exist on the microscopic scale — microwhip scorpions, parasitic wasps, fairyflies and the like — merely copying these designs without any intelligent thought will become possible when we can scan and construct on the atomic level. Enclosing every human being in an active membrane may be the only imaginable solution to this challenge. Offense will be easier than defense, as offense needs only to succeed once, even after a million failures.
Instead of just saying, "we're screwedâ€, the clear course of action seems to be to contribute to the construction of a benevolent singleton. Given current resources, this should be possible in a few decades or less. Those who think that things will fall into place with the current political and economic order are simply fooling themselves, and putting their lives at risk.
By "benevolent singleton", I mean "an IAeed (Intelligence Amplified) fundamentally considerate and kind human whose intelligence is actually improved above H. sapiens to the tune that H. sapiens is above H. heidelbergensis, and after that point, whatever happens, happens", or "a self-improving Friendly AGI". Nothing so immensely, unimaginably complicated. If the latter seems hundreds of years away in your estimation, then perhaps the former is not quite as far.

Much is wrong with Washington these days, including much of what is said about what is wrong. Many Americans say there is "too much politics" in Washington. Actually, there is too little. President Obama deplores "politics as usual." But recently Washington has been tumultuous because politics, as the framers understood it, has disintegrated. Obama has been complicit in this collapse.
His self-regard, the scale of which has a certain grandeur, reinforces progressivism's celebration of untrammeled executive power and its consequent disparagement of legislative bargaining. This is ...

Sweet St. Andrews-by-the-SeaI first visited St. Andrews, New Brunswick when I was a kid. Back then I was bowled over by the tudor castle on the hill AKA The Algonquin Resort, but more impressive to any 12-year-old was the abundance of strawberry shortcake.

Safe Harbor is such a caring organization. The doctors there were kind and absolutely thorough. I had found a stray cat who looked to have been traumatized. I wanted to help her but didn't know where to go. A neighbor suggested Safe Harbor because they do their best to save the animals rather than the other, easier option. Unfortunately, the poor little kitty was too ill to be saved. Broke my heart. But everyone there was awesome and made me feel like I had done the right thing by bringing her in. I only wished I'd found her sooner. God Bless these nonprofits who truly care about people, our world and all living things.
More Feedback
I think Safe Harbor does an excellent job! My dog is a 13 year old Yellow Lab that I adopted from Safe Harbor when he was 10 years old. I take him to the Safe Harbor clinic for all his medical needs and I think that they do an excellent job. They have diagnosed him correctly for some serious problems that he has encountered, referred me to specialists when needed and I support them because they do an excellent job. I find the staff to be attentive even though the front desk is often multitasking at a pace that I would find daunting. Good job, Safe Harbor!

The $6 million race for mayor
The end result is the ability to raise and spend virtually unlimited amounts of money to influence city elections.
The U-T San Diego identified 13 different groups that are spending money on the San Diego mayor's race in some form. One such PAC is "Taxpayers for Carl DeMaio," which has raised about $147,000 to bolster his candidacy from donors such as developer Tom Sudberry and Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers Inc. Another is "San Diegans for Nathan Fletcher," which has raised nearly $384,000 to back him with money from Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs and Bridgepoint Education.
Labor unions have also injected money into the race through several vehicles such as "Too Extreme for San Diego" and "San Diegans for Retirement Security," both of which are anti-DeMaio PACs. They've raised more than $560,000 combined.
There's also a group called "San Diegans for Bonnie Dumanis" that has raised $118,000 to help her. As first reported by San Diego CityBeat, Airsam, which contributed $100,000, is an aviation firm controlled by Susumo Azano, a Mexican businessman based in Coronado.
Other groups that have spent money on the race include San Diego city firefighters, $153,000 to oppose DeMaio;
icPurple.org, $107,000 to tout Fletcher; the San Diego Police Officers Association, $15,000 to support Fletcher; and San Diegans Against Crime, the deputy district attorney PAC supporting Dumanis with $5,600.
The local political parties have also communicated with their members at a cost of $236,000 for the Democratic Party in favor of Filner and $135,000 from the Republican Party to boost DeMaio.
Carl Luna, a political-science professor at San Diego Mesa College, said the money is direct result of how competitive the race has become.
"There's just more money out there in this election season with independent ads and PACs and the rest," he said. "In the scheme of things, it's not that big of money, but when you look at San Diego mayor races they usually haven't been this contested. They haven't been this close so people haven't felt the need to spend money like this."
The primary is June 5.

The book takes a clear, step-by-step approach to building small, simple game projects. It focuses on short, attainable goals so that the reader can finish something, instead of trying to create a complex RPG or open-world game that never sees the light of day. This book encourages readers hungry for knowledge. It does not go into gory detail about how every little knob and dial functions ''' that's what the software manual is for! Rather, this book is the fastest path from zero to finished game using the Unity game engine. If you've ever wanted to develop games, but have never felt "smart" enough to deal with complex programming, this book is for you. It's also a great kick-start for developers coming from other tools like Flash, Unreal Engine, and Game Maker Pro.

DLC Round-Up
By Adrenaline 1 Comments
It's becoming an increasing trend in gaming, especially since the launch of the Xbox 360, to extend the life of games via downloadable content, which is cheaper than traditional expansions but also less substantial. Sometimes the DLC is really lame profiteering crap like paying for cheat codes or content that's already on the disc and just needs to be unlocked, but some developers do really interesting stuff with it. Here's a few of the updates and content packs I've played that are interesting enough to discuss but don't warrant full reviews.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine - A pretty satisfying and enjoyable new faction quest line for the game. It requires you to erase any infamy you have to get it going, which is annoying if you actually roleplay your character as a jerk, but once you get into the main quest there's a really nice story and progression going on. Some creative moments, decent fights with lots of allies, and the rewards are great - a full set of really good gear and an infinite supply of knights to fight by your side.
Mercenaries 2: Blow It Up Again - It's nice that this was available for free at first, because it's not really worth it otherwise. It comes with four new missions in new areas and two new skins based on Barack Obama and Sarah Palin, complete with goofy voice overs from crappy sound-alikes ( It was developed during the election frenzy). The problem is the skins don't lend themselves to the missions and the missions don't lend themselves to what makes Mercenaries 2 fun, since instead of having a chance to explore and mess around the new environments you're just plopped in a vehicle and told to do something, with not much chance to laugh at the fact that you look like a candidate for major national office. A few of the missions are pretty fun, but it just seems like a rushed job, and you can't even bring the presidential skins into the normal game.
Noby Noby Boy 1.1 - Not so much DLC as a pretty substantial addition of content through patching. The new music and sound selection system is nice, multiplayer is wacky as hell, and the players have also managed to reach Mars thanks to some big multipliers randomly given as various lengths were reported. I don't know how far in the solar system or even galaxy this game intends to eventually go, but new areas to run around in with new creatures and objects to eat and crap out is always fun.
Prince of Persia: Epilogue - I mostly enjoyed it while I was playing, but in the end it wasn't worth the time and money. It's a couple more hours of the game, with the difficulty on the platforming stepped up thanks to longer sequences in between solid platforms you can be brought back to after falling. They also took out any semblance of the free-roaming aspect, making it a straight shot from beginning to end. The new boss and power are pretty much rehashes, and any story development ends up to be not worth it, as it ends on pretty much the same note as the main game with little of consequence really happening. Not necessary for anyone looking for some closure and not just more of the game. Not not not not.

EXCLUSIVE: Medical marijuana activist speaks of legal battle
James Stacy on federal probation for running Vista dispensary
Two years ago, James Stacy operated a martial arts studio in Vista.
Then he opened a medical marijuana dispensary in the same building.
Within 10 weeks, he landed in federal jail.
Stacy fought federal criminal charges, lost, and now, with a felony drug conviction, is without a full-time job or significant income.
But along the way, he said, he found a new calling: activism.
Seated in the living room of his Vista home Wednesday for his first lengthy interview since he was sentenced in January, Stacy spoke of life after his guilty plea to federal drug charges.
He is serving a two-year term of federal probation for his admission to growing marijuana, which he used for his dispensary.
He fought the federal case as long as he could, insisting his shop was legal under state law and protected from federal prosecution by the Obama administration.
"I firmly thought the whole time that I was going to win," said Stacy, 47.
During the year and a half that Stacy fought the charges, his supporters filled at least half the seats in a federal courtroom at each of his proceedings.
Among them was Eugene Davidovich, the director of the San Diego chapter of Americans for Safe Access, a national group that works to ensure safe and legal access to medical marijuana.
He called Stacy "my personal hero."
"James deserves all the credit that the can get," Davidovich said. "He is a champion of this fight in San Diego. Hundreds of people look up to him because James stood up to the federal government as long as he did."
Stacy now fights for the rights of patients to have access to marijuana prescribed as medicine for ailments, including cancer.
"I feel an obligation to help people so that no one else has to go through what I went through," Stacy said.
One of 14 shops raided
Stacy's now-defunct medical marijuana store on South Santa Fe Avenue was one of 14 San Diego County shops raided by local and federal authorities on Sept. 9, 2009.
Stacy opened the shop just 10 weeks before the raid, with a stock of $300 worth of medical marijuana.
Before that time, Stacy was a medical marijuana user who had to drive to Los Angeles to get his medicine, which he said he used for various bone, joint and muscle problems from years of teaching martial arts.
"I (opened the shop) to try to help people," Stacy said. "I thought I would follow the rules and do a good job."
He said he feared theft far more than the police because he felt comfortable that he was following all state laws, and therefore was exempt from federal prosecution.
When the shop was raided, authorities turned up eight dozen marijuana plants and a semiautomatic gun ---- a weapon, Stacy argued in court, that he used solely for self-defense training for the martial arts classes he taught in a different part of the building.
Although authorities arrested 32 people across the county that day, only two were immediately charged ---- Stacy and Joseph Nunes, who ran a dispensary in San Diego.

The Coleco Gemini was an Atari 2600 clone manufactured by Coleco.
Technical specifications[edit]
In 1982, Coleco released Expansion Module #1 for its ColecoVision video game system using off-the-shelf components, that enabled the ColecoVision to be compatible with the Atari 2600. Atari sued Coleco for patent infringement, however a court ruled that since Coleco used off-the-shelf components and not the same components found inside an Atari 2600, the Expansion Module #1 did not infringe on Atari's patents for the 2600. With this ruling, Coleco decided to make a stand-alone Atari 2600 clone and named it the Gemini.
Gemini vs. 2600[edit]
The main difference between the Coleco Gemini and the Atari 2600 is the controller design. The Coleco Gemini controllers featured an 8-way joystick and a 270-degree paddle on the same controller (the joystick was at the top of the controller, and the paddle was at the bottom of the controller). To play paddle games, a Y-connector was used to connect two controllers to the controller jack at the same time.
The Gemini was much more compact than the large faux-woodgrain consoles sold by Atari at the time. The Gemini also had a different game included with the system. Atari was still including the Combat game released in 1977. The Gemini most commonly included Donkey Kong, but at some point also included Carnival, Mouse Trap and Front Line. Sears also offered a version of the Gemini with both Donkey Kong and Mouse Trap included as separate cartridges.
Coleco struck a deal with Columbia House to start a video game club similar to its record club. Columbia sold the Coleco Gemini as the Columbia Home Arcade through the Columbia House Video Game Club. In Canada, CBS Electronics sold the Gemini under the Columbia Home Arcade name.

Customer Reviews of Toshiba DVR620 DVD Recorder/VCR Combo w/ 1080p Upconversion
Great Product2/20/2015
We purchased this to replace an identical product which was damaged due to lightning strike. That's what happens when you don't use a surge protector. We won't make that mistake again. Menu function is easy to maneuver around and it copies VHS to DVD wonderfully. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Great Combo VCR/DVD-RW12/29/2014
This combo VCR/DVD-RW is perfect for dubbing my old family videos on VCR. The instruction manual and on-screen menus are easy to work with.
Great machine!1/25/2013
Although I dreaded the hook-up process, it wasn't too difficult. I used a component cable (not supplied) and the picture is fantastic! While enjoying my old home videos, I haven't yet tried to copy them onto DVD. That was the main reason for choosing this and if I have a problem with that, I'll get back to you.
Good machine!8/20/2012
Very good machine, allowing to record TV the old way on VHS or to DVD; also good for converting VHS tapes to DVD.
Great to transfer VHS to DVD7/11/2012
I purchased this recorder to transfer my remainging VHS before the tapes and the players become unusable. Does a great job and is very easy to use.
Great quality....But...9/1/2011
Everything about this recorder is great, for what it does. If you are dubbing VHS to DVD, the results are very good. The picture is better than the VHS tape and the audio/video is in sync. The device is easy to use and set up. Just be aware, if you are looking to dub factory made VHS movies to DVD, my experience so far has been that 16 out of 20 tapes have the copyright protection preventing the device from dubbing. I'm not saying this is a fault of the product itself, I just was not aware of how many tapes actually had the protection on them. I thought I would get more done than I have. So if doing this is your goal, there are other solutions you may want to try instead. But if you have video tapes you made/recorded yourself, then by all means, this is a great product to make DVDs from.
Good quality, clear recordings. Very pleased.
Good Product4/8/2011
Arrived on time, easy to set up, straight forward to use. Overall very pleased. Quality of recordings is great. Very pleased.
Great Recorder2/23/2011
I bought this recorder a little over a month ago to transfer about 400 old VHS tapes (some over twenty years old)of cartoons we taped for our daughter. Our daughter is autistic and even though she is twenty four now, she still watches cartoons and these tapes constantly. My goal is to transfer all of these tapes by Christmas. I currently do one each weekday and two a day on the weekends. So far I've made it through about fifty six-hour tapes so on SP mode (you don't want to record at less than that) I've already made about 150 DVDs. So far I've only had two discs fail during recording. The machine works great and has some really nice features. The manual tracking is a really nice feature. Although the autotracking does a pretty good job, some of the older tapes that have been played hundreds of times over the years, benefit from my ability to manually adjust the tracking. The recorder stops the tape automatically once the DVD is filled. You don't have to hang around anticipating the end of the tape. The remote is simple to use and has worked great from all angles in the room(others have mentioned this to be a problem). The dubbing button on the front makes the basic transfer a breeze. The system does have a lot of advanced features that are really cool, but I just wanted to get the videos transferred as quickly as possible. I highly recommend this product and I'll check back in when my mission is complete. If this thing can do 400 tapes, that will be amazing. Here are a few tips I've learned over the years (i've had several HDD and DVD recorders) Always fast forward and rewind the tape completely before dubbing to disc. Use XP or SP mode ... anything else will give you really poor quality (especially if viewed on a LCD or Plasma). After the tape stops when the disc is full, I always like to rewind the tape about fifteen seconds to allow a little overlap just to be sure you don't miss anything.10 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Everything it said it was1/1/2011
This item arrived earlier than expected in good condition. As the reviews say, it's pretty easy to use right out of the box. Instructions easy to follow, simple to hook up. As far as recording, it's WAY easier than my previous machine (other brand, 5+ years old that gave up the ghost). Quality of recordings, quite good. Bought it to record shows from T.V., but am looking forward to "dubbing" my old VCR tapes. No issues with remote control. Happy with the purchase.
Love this machine!!!!10/17/2010
An old dvd/vcr combo player I had broke. As I was shopping around for a replacement, I loved the fact that they all now had dvd recorders plus the vcr. I had heard of buy.com from a friend. After reading about the Toshiba, it sounded great plus was very well priced! I received it in only 2 days. It was extremely easy to hook up. Even for those who are not familiar with hooking devices up to the tv, if you take your time and read the manual or just look at the pictures, you can kind of figure it out. It comes with colored wires and if you look at the back of your cable/tv/satellite box and the back of this dvd/vcr, you really just have to match the colors. I record many tv shows and I love the way the dvd, instead of just making noise or saying loading, it gives you the percentage of how long it will take to finish. No matter how fast or slow, really depending on what function you're using the dvd for, it comes in so handy. I love it! My other dvd recorder just says loading and I wait never knowing how long it will be. I think that was one of my favorite aspects to this machine. It's easy to use and if there's something I want to know more about, the manual is extremely helpful. As for the remote, I haven't any kinds of problems aiming at it-it could be the way it's set up. The only thing to be careful with is when touching the remote buttons, they're very soft so you don't need to press down on them hard for it to work or else you might want to make sure the button didn't stay down. But as long as you get used to touching them lightly, it's not a problem anymore. There's so many other cool features I haven't even used yet but am anxious to try it out. I'm so happy with this purchase! I can't imagine anyone not liking it.
Works great.6/23/2009
Nice piece of machinery. Works great. Great picture quality and lots of input options. Records on my DVD well. Easy to hookup. Only cons is the remote. The infared sensor on machine doesn't work well at an angle. I have to point straight at the DVD player for the remote to work.16 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Past fraud tops list of reasons for denial of visas
More News from Lourdes Santos Tancinco
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
As he was testifying on the stand, Jorge stared blankly, neither looking at the immigration judge nor at me, the counsel for his wife. When asked about how he felt about being separated from his wife, Jorge answered with another question: "What will happen to my boys? They have dreams and a good future. I will not be able to sustain their education as a single parent if you order my wife deported today."
As a parent myself, I looked at him, teary-eyed. But would the immigration judge sympathize as well and allow Jorge's wife to stay in the United States?
A false identity
Susan entered the United States with a false identity. She got a green card and eventually became a US citizen. But Susan's fraudulent misrepresentation eventually caught up with her. She was taken into custody and was criminally prosecuted. Her arrest came after many years had passed—after she had married Jorge and had given birth to two brilliant children who are now teenagers.
With her seemingly valid immigration documents, Susan worked as a caregiver. She received several commendations for her work dedication. Her employer recognized how much she had helped many patients, mostly American children.
For many years, Susan lived like a normal legal resident. But she also admitted she had lived a fearful life, with nightmares of one day being caught for using a 'false' identity.
Susan was referred to the immigration court for deportation. She applied for waiver of the fraud.
The waiver application
The Obama administration has prioritized certain individuals for deportation: (1) terrorists and those who are threats to national security; (2) those who have been convicted of serious crimes; and (3) those who have committed fraud. An application for waiver may be filed for those who committed fraud and misrepresentation as it is for those who have committed certain crimes.
An application for waiver requires the applicant to show that a qualifying relative will suffer extreme hardship should the applicant be deported.
The qualifying relative should be either a parent or a spouse or both, who is a lawful permanent resident or citizen. The children who were born in the United States, however, may not be considered as "qualifying relatives" for purposes of the waiver application.
Proving extreme hardship
The standards for "extreme hardship" are very high. Among the factors to be considered are: (1) presence of the qualifying relative; (2) conditions in the country of relocation and the qualifying relative's ties to that country; (3) financial impact of departure; and (4) significant health conditions, particularly when tied to unavailability of suitable medical care in the country of relocation.
The immigration judge will have to weigh and balance all the hardship factors against the nature of the fraud.
In the case of Susan, the qualifying relative was her husband Jorge. Testifying in the immigration court, he related his children's dreams of becoming professionals and how the children had shared with him their desire to keep the family together. The education, health and social life of the children would be affected should the mother be separated from them.
Family unity
With Jorge's tear-jerking testimony, Susan's remorseful statements on the stand, and other supporting documents, the immigration court granted the waiver. Family reunification prevailed. However, not all waiver applications end happily. Committing fraud is on the priority list for denial of visas and a common reason for deportation, so one must avoid committing fraud and be wary about its adverse consequence.

How Can I Solve My Staffing Woes In The Manufacturing Industry?October 4th, 2013
Being a manufacturer in today's economy has it opportunities and challenges, and right now you may be flying high on business and running low on people to actually do the work.

How Do You Take Your Business to the Next Level?February 13th, 2013
When was the last time you talked about taking your business to the next level? If you've had this discussion recently, what changes or improvements did you decide on? Were you only thinking about growing your sales? Or did you think about improving your systems and processes? How about your people – do you need to take them to the next level, too?
Making It to the Next Level
In my 31-plus years with this firm, I watched many clients grow from small mom & pop businesses to major employers in their communities. Until the past few years, I really didn't think much about why some grew and others, well, didn't.
Many of us learned two fundamentals in college – or in the classroom of life: In order to grow, a business needs solid leadership. And business owners needed to surround themselves with good people.
As I build our firm's manufacturing client services team I have spent a lot of time reading, listening and asking questions about this idea of the next level. What I have found in my research is that not only do businesses need good people to grow, but you need great systems and you need to stay focused. Read the rest of this entry "
Do You Know The True Cost of The Products You Produce?August 3rd, 2012
After the ups and downs of the last few years, we should all know that, when it comes to the economy, anything is possible. Some businesses vanished during this downturn, others survived – and some actually flourished! Those that survived and those that flourished had one thing that others did not: an understanding of their product cost. While many of our clients are seeing their sales volumes return to pre-2008 levels, I wonder how many of them truly know what it costs to produce their products. Read the rest of this entry "

A system for harvesting an implantable graft from the femur of a human having a cartilage overlying a condyle, according to which an overlay extends over the femur and is positioned relative to the femur by an articulating arm assembly.
1. A system for harvesting an implantable graft from the femur of a human having a cartilage overlying a condyle, the system comprising:
an overlay having a shape generally corresponding to the shape of the femur and having a series of at least three through openings being independent and spaced apart in a configuration to facilitate selective cutting with a tool;
wherein said openings are configured to have a size and shape substantially matching the cross-sectional perimeter of the tool; and
an articulating arm assembly connected to the overlay to permit the overlay to be extending and fixated over the surface of the femur in a substantially parallel relation so that the tool can be inserted through one of the openings along an axis perpendicular to the opening and cut a graft from the femur.
2. The system of

This invention relates to an improved osteochondral autograft transplantation procedure and apparatus, and more particularly, to such a procedure and apparatus in which a graft is prepared for a recipient opening.
The human knee consists of three bones—a femur, a tibia, and a patella—that are held in place by various ligaments. The corresponding condyles of the femur and the tibia form a hinge joint, and the patella protects the joint. Portions of the condyles, as well as the underside of the patella, are covered with an articular cartilage, which allow the femur and the tibia to smoothly glide against each other without causing damage.
The articular cartilage often tears, usually due to traumatic injury (often seen in athletes) and degenerative processes (seen in older patients). This tearing does not heal well due to the lack of nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic systems; and the resultant knee pain, swelling, and limited motion of the bone(s) must be addressed.
Damaged adult cartilages have historically been treated by a variety of surgical interventions including lavage, arthroscopic debridement, and repair stimulation, all of which provide less than optimum results.
Another known treatment involves removal and replacement of the damaged cartilage with a prosthetic device. However, prostheses have largely been unsuccessful since they are deficient in the elastic, and therefore in the shock-absorbing, properties characteristic of the cartilage. Moreover, prostheses have not proven able to withstand the forces inherent to routine knee joint function.
In an attempt to overcome the problems associated with the above techniques, osteochondral autograft transplantation, also known as "mosaicplasty" has been used to repair articular cartilages. This procedure involves removing injured tissue from the damaged area and drilling one or more openings in the underlying bone. A graft, or plug, consisting of healthy cartilage overlying bone, is obtained from another area of the patient, typically from a lower weight-bearing region of the joint under repair, or from a donor patient, and is implanted in each opening. It is extremely important that each graft fit in its opening in a precise manner and an embodiment of the present invention involves a technique for advancing the art in this respect.
Referring to
It will be assumed that a portion of the cartilage 16 extending over the condyle of the femur 12 has been damaged and resected by the surgeon, or has worn away, leaving a damaged area, or defect 12 a. It will be also assumed that the surgeon has surgically removed areas of the bone below the damaged cartilage at the defect 12 a so as to form an opening that is suited to receive a graft, or grafts. The latter procedure can involve drilling a hole in the underlying bone to a predetermined depth that extends perpendicular to the surface of the femur 12.
Referring to
An articulating arm assembly 24 is connected to the plate 22, and, to this end, includes a mounting ear 26 mounted to the plate 24 by a bolt 28 that extends through the slot in the plate 22 and into a threaded opening (not shown) in the ear. Thus, the ear 26 can be angularly adjusted relative to the plate 22.
Referring to
A shaft 40 extends through an opening in the other end portion of the arm 34 and perpendicularly to the shaft 30 to pivotally mount the arm 34 to the shaft. The shaft 40 also extends through an end portion of an arm 44 that rests in a cut-out portion of the arm 34, and a nut 46 is threadedly connected to an end of the shaft 40. Thus, the latter end portion of the arm 44 is captured between the cut-out portion of the arm 34 and the nut 36, and is pivotal about the shaft 40. It is understood that the other end portion of the arm 44 is secured to a support structure, such as a table or the like (not shown).
The arm 34 thus pivots about the shaft 30 in a first plane, and the arm 44 pivots about the shaft 40 in a second plane extending at right angles to the first plane.
The overlay 20 can be manually grasped and adjusted relative to the femur 12 until it extends over the upper surface of the femur 12. Since the curvature of the overlay 20 substantially matches the curvature of the upper surface of the femur 12, the overlay can be positioned substantially parallel to the femur surface utilizing the arm assembly 24, so that the openings 20 a extend substantially perpendicularly to the latter surface.
A tool 50 is shown at different positions relative to the overly 20 in
To initiate the harvesting procedure, the overlay 20 is grasped and positioned over the femur 12 until the lower surface of the overlay extends over the upper surface of the femur in a substantially parallel relationship. It is understood that the facing surfaces of the overlay 20 and the femur 12 could be placed in contact, or that the lower surface of the overlay could be slightly spaced from the upper surface of the femur 12. As discussed above, since the curvature of the overlay 20 is designed to substantially match the curvature of the upper surface of the femur 12, and since the overlay is positioned substantially parallel to the femur surface, the openings 20 a extend substantially perpendicularly to the latter surface.
The tool 50 is then brought to the vicinity of the overlay 20, and the cutting edge 56 a of the member 56 is inserted through one of the openings 20 that extend over an undamaged area of the femur 12. This insures that the member 56 extends perpendicularly to the upper surface of the femur. The tool 50 is then advanced further towards the femur 12 until the cutting edge 56 a slices through the layer of cartilage. The manual force is continued and could be increased as necessary so that the cutting edge 56 a also cuts through the condyle below the cartilage until the desired depth of cut is attained. The severed graft, including the cartilage and condyle next to the cartilage, enter the hollow, distal end portion of the member 56 and are retained in the latter member. When the desired depth of cut is attained, the tool 50 is manipulated as necessary to completely sever the corresponding end of the condyle thus forming a graft extending in the interior of the member 56. More details of this harvesting process are disclosed in the above identified patent applications.
The harvested graft is then removed from the member 56 and can be implanted in the above-mentioned opening in the defect 12 a with the perpendicularity discussed above ensuring that the graft will fit in the defect with a proper fit, and that the contour of the cartilage of the graft will match the contour of the cartilage surrounding the defect.
It is also understood that the system described above can also be used to cut the above-described opening in the defect that receives the graft. In this case, the overlay 20 would be manipulated over the femur 12 until an opening 20 a in the overlay would extend over the defect 12 a. Then a drill, or other cutting tool, that could include the tool 50, would be inserted through the opening 20 a and used to cut the opening.
It is understood that, during the above harvesting procedure, any of the meniscus 18 (
It is also understood that an image guiding system, such as the one disclosed in the assignee's U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/508,349 can be used to assist in positioning the tool 20 relative to the femur 12 during the above procedure.
1. The harvesting, the defect preparation, and the implantation can be done with separate tools or with the same tool.
2. More than one graft can be harvested from, and/or more than one defect can be cut in, the femur using the system and procedure discussed above.
3. The graft discussed above can be harvested or prepared from another area of the patient/recipient, from another human, or from any number of anatomic sites, animal or otherwise.
4. The configuration of the cutting edge 56 a of the member 56 of the tool 50, including its cross sectional shape, can be varied.
5. The spatial references mentioned above, such as "upper", "lower", "under", "over", "between", "outer", "inner" and "surrounding" are for the purpose of illustration only and do not limit the specific spatial orientation or location of the components described above.
6. The present invention is not limited to use with knees of humans but rather is applicable to other damaged areas of all animals.
7. The method and device disclosed above can be used in any surgical or experimental situation (animal species or otherwise) to harvest grafts or cut openings in any anatomic region.
Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many other variations and modifications of the embodiment described above can be made without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such variations and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims. In the claims, means-plus-function clauses are intended to cover the structures described herein as performing the recited function and not only structural equivalents, but also equivalent structures.

Brooklyn Wok Shop provides an invented cuisine sometimes known as "Chinese food for white people." That is, Cantonese standards once carried out from neighborhood greasy spoons are now refined and served in a bistro setting with an appealing (and partly locavoric) wine and beer list. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the prices are double or triple what you once paid, and the dishes sometimes more bland than you'd like. Best here are the steamed breads called baos, stuffed with your choice of chicken or pork, and a pair of over-rice dishes featuring the same meats, which can be improved with the addition of a fried egg. Steer clear of General Tso's chicken, which is gloppier and more repulsively sweet than usual.

Hi Everyone
I'm new to this forum. I've just got a job in July and August in Hong Kong and I'm looking for a place to stay on Lamma Island with my partner and little boy. Can anyone give me any advice?
Would be most appreciated.
Are there any coach departures from Hong Kong Airport to Guangzhou New Baiyun Airport before 7 am? I wish to know the ways to connect to a domestic flight in Guangzhou at 12.05 pm from Hong Kong Airport. Or is Dragonair flight the only way to reach New Baiyun Airport in a short time?
I know the area is in Lan Kwai Fong. Is there any good clubs that i shouldn't miss and its real good?
Preferably not too young crowd.
Thank you!
Hi , I will be travelling from India for a 6 days trip to Hongkong ...as we are 2 women with kids, so need to know the safest way to move around in hongkong...need reference for vegetarian restaurants in TST east area... Where and how to get currency exchanged, is this Chung king mansion safe for currency exchange? Do they charge a fees for exchanging the currency and how much it should be? Which are the best places to shop for kids clothes and stationary....also which mall/ market to visit for mid-tier shopping? Any other tips would be most welcome....our travel agent has already arranged a trip to disneyland, Ocean park, Lantau Island with cable car and half a day city tour which includes Victoria peak...please help am nervous as taking the kids abroad for the first time...
I´m going to Hong Kong in November, where do you recommend me to stay? In Kowloon or on Hong Kong Island?
Which area is the best if I want to be close to sightseeing, shopping, restaurants, public transport.
Central, HK Island?
what is the dress code for temples in hong kong thanks
Hey guys,I'm going to have a trip in hong kong,could you tell me which is the best hotel in hong kong kowloon?
Very thanks!
Hi I will be traveling to Hong Kong this coming 7 of May for 5 days and would like to do a bit of everything. Shopping, sightseeing, visit attractions, nightlife and of course enjoy some local good food. I read a few posts before hand and many have mention to get an octopus card. Will do so to ease my traveling!
For the first day is mainly entitled to shopping. Is there any good places to buy clothes and hand bags for both cheap and branded? Hopefully, I'm able to kill two birds with a stone within the same mall. And also electronic shopping. A mall that does repairs/buys/sells/trade electronic goods. Hoping to repair my iPhone 5 and trade it or sell it.
For the second day I'll be heading down to Disneyland as I can't remember the last time I've been to one. Is there another cheaper alternative to get the tickets? Would be spending an entire day there. Any idea of what's there to do after?
Thirdly, I'll be visiting Macau. Anything that I shouldn't miss out in Macau? Would not be spending an entire day there. Will go there in the morning and back in the late evening.
Thank you in advance. Hope to hear from you guys soon. Sorry for being so lengthy.

A Stunt Driver Speeds Through Hollywood's Best Car Chases
There's a highly scientific explanation for why so many films feature car chases: Car chases are awesome. And there are so many good ones that to safely navigate a timeline of the best, we handed the wheel to an actual stunt driver -- Darrin Prescott, who orchestrated the car-fu in The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum and Drive.

Salvation Sam #1 - Preview Edition Coloured
Having debuted in 2010, Salvation Sam #01 is the premiere publication of independent comic company, Jove Pater Media. To celebrate the one year mark since its original black and white release, this coloured edition also marks our first collaboration with Graphicly. Tackling themes relating to a superhero trying to make his mark in a world already overpopulated with superheroes as well as the significance of good villains in a hero's career, Salvation Sam is but the beginning of a fresh universe.
About Us Jove Pater Media is an entertainment company formed by a group of adult babies who regularly got together to do creative stuff... or so we thought. Coming from similar backgrounds steeped in drama, comedy and delusions of grandeur, we decided to just slap on a spiffy name and register ourselves as a company so that we could tell people we had jobs. Somehow, we wound up doing actual work! Having dipped our feet in the pools of script and screenplay writing as well as creative development at the beckoning of other companies, we've since begun developing original content, the first of which you are holding on to today! We are constantly looking out for fresh talent and offer advertising opportunities. Feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and be sure to `Like' us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/jovepatermedia) for updates and free content! Yours Sincerely, The JPM Crew P.S. `Jove Pater' (jv ptr)--not spelt `Pata' or `Parter'--is Latin for `Father Zeus.' Credits Created & Written by Alexander Zhao Aravind Menon Letters Jaymes Reed Cover Art, Pencils & Colours Renzo Rodriguez Layout David Goh Inks Lucio Daniel Mercado Edited & Produced Samuel Richard Sathya Sandiran Salutations, Salvation Samettes! Welcome reader, to the 1 year anniversary of Salvation Sam! Unfortunately Samettes, its been a crazy year with a great many hits and misses. But... like the superheroes we so fondly idolize, we remain positive in times of turmoil. For without failure, there wouldn't be sweet success. We knew coming into this that making it as an independent publisher � just like a crime fighting vigilante � wasn't going to be easy. Except one's way cooler than the other. I would like to apologize for the long and arduous wait for the second issue. We hope that seeing the refurbished, fully coloured, grammar corrected (by the Grammar Nazi obviously) version of Salvation Sam #1 will suffice for now. Fortunately for you however, we've got a bunch of great things already in the works. For one, we've teamed up with the great folks at Graphicly to bring comics to you digitally on a plethora of platforms! You can now enjoy Salvation Sam (and other great comics from the Graphicly library) on your iPhone, iPad, Android devices and of course, your Computer! So be on the lookout for more content releases over the course of next year... Assuming the age of apocalypse doesn't befall us in 2012. But wait, there's more! The month of December marks the release of Jove Pater Media's first ever web-comic, Jupiter: The Last God. I'll leave it to my ever entertaining co-writer to fill you in on the details, but I've read the script and it promises to be a fantastical joyride, chock full with EPIC fight scenes! And then, there's Alan Leong. The latest addition to Jove Pater Media's ever growing talent pool and penciller for Jupiter � with an awesome `origins' story to boot! See, I had lost all contact with him after graduating primary school together at the wee age of 11, only to bump into him 11 years later AND find out that he's an insanely gifted comic artist! What's more, his style was a perfect match for the next title I'm working on! Truly serendipity at its best. We're incredibly grateful to have his talents on the team and you'll be sure to see more of him soon. So there you have it. The light at the uh, midpoint of the tunnel. To the existing fanbase, thank you so much for the words of encouragement and support over the last year. Your candid (albeit annoyed) questions about the next issue's launch date sure made it worthwhile for us to delay it further stay motivated and keep working towards a release. If you're a new reader, welcome onboard to the Salvation Sam family! Be sure to `Like' Salvation Sam over on Facebook and share a few words with us. After all, we'd probably be too busy concentrating on not doing work to chat with you. Salvation sign-off, ALEXANDER ZHAO Creator/Writer Happy Birthday! Has it really been a year? Whoa! Well, if so, happy birthday to the Grammar Nazi, Dragonforce and The Guild, the entire Plague Patrol, Saint and, last but not least, Mr Awesome! I feel like I'm forgetting somebody... well, if I can't remember who it is, they can't be all that important. It's been a tough year. We've been asked many times about the publication of issue #02 and I apologize for the delay. However, as you can see with this issue, we have not forgotten Salvation Sam (yet) and we're hoping to buy a little mercy with this humble offering (made awesome by Renzo Rodriguez's colors!). We have spent this year planning on a lot of new stuff for next year and hopefully all of those can see print (on time). On a separate note, I've been working with Alan Leong--Jove Pater Media's newest addition to the art team and long time friend of Alex--on a new title called Jupiter the Last God. We'll be releasing a page a day over the duration of December to what will effectively be a complete issue by the end of the month. For more on this, hop on over to www.facebook.com/jupiterthelastgod. Like many things last year, Jupiter is another collection of new experiences coupled with more learning. For the first time in my life I'm trying out lettering and I'll say this much: if anybody thinks it's just a matter of throwing white bubbles with words, they're insane. This experience simply pushes me to further appreciate our letterer, Jaymes Reed, who was willing to work on this colored edition on his birthday! So here's a belated birthday shout out: Happy Birthday, Jaymes! Yep, I guess I've pretty much wished every one "happy birthday." Back to point, I'd like to thank all of you who remain interested in our independent title. With the big guys dominating this industry, an impression left on a reader is truly significant to us and we hope to be able to continue entertaining all of you with our stories of the superhero who could. Ah, now I know who I'm forgetting! Happy birthday to the police officers who arrested the Grammar Nazi!! Right, that should cover just about all important characters. May the force be with you!

Final Score: Ole Miss 27, Tulane 13
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Jeremiah Masoli threw for 281 yards and a
touchdown to lead the Ole Miss Rebels past the Tulane Green Wave, 27-13, in
non-conference action at the Louisiana Superdome.
Masoli completed 14-of-20 pass attempts with one interception and added 27
yards and a score on the ground for Ole Miss (1-1), which was coming off a
49-48 loss to Jacksonville State in double overtime last Saturday. Markeith
Summers was his main target, pulling in five balls for 165 yards and a
Ryan Griffin connected on 21-of-30 tosses for 203 yards for Tulane (1-1),
which opened its season with a wild 27-21 win over Southeastern Louisiana.
Masoli started off the game's scoring with a one-yard plunge three minutes
into the opening quarter.
Later on in the frame, Brandon Bolden rumbled 16 yards to extend the Rebels'
lead to 14-0.
After the two teams traded field goals in the second quarter, Masoli hit
Summers on a 70-yard scoring pass to give a Ole Miss a 24-3 lead at the break.
Tulane hung around with a one-yard touchdown run from Orleans Darkwa late in
the third quarter.
Cairo Santos then hit a 39-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for
Tulane, making it a 24-13 game.
Ole Miss responded with a 29-yard field goal from Bryson Rose and that would
be the last score of the game.
The Rebels racked up five sacks while holding Tulane to just a 2-of-10 effort
on third downs.

Jailed, caned for robbing massage parlour five years ago
Published on Oct 25, 2012 2:24 PM
Together with two accomplices, Ong Boon Ee robbed three women and left them tied up in one of the rooms of a massage parlour.
That was in September 2007. On Thursday, the 28-year-old was jailed for three years and ordered to be caned 24 times.
Assistant Public Prosecutor Andy Dinesh said that on the evening of Sept 19, 2007, Ong hatched the plan to rob a massage parlour along Balestier Road with Jackie Teo and another man known only as Kim Mo in a coffee shop in MacPherson Road.
They struck after midnight and threatened to hurt the three victims if they did not hand over their valuables. The trio tied the victims' hands before escaping with cash of $1,778 and two cell phones worth a total of $1,100.

Great location and well equipped apartment.
March 22, 2012
The location was fantastic, the doormen professional and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in New York. The Apartment is well appointed and the owner has taken extra steps to ensure your stay is as easy as can be. Lots of books on New York on the coffee table, Business cards for reputable local venders. The Apartment had a homely feel which was perfect for our family. It was presented in a very clean state with plenty of additional linen and towels available. The apartment is large for a 2 Bed room and includes a study nook and walk in robe. Free internet and free pay tv also welcome additions (although you won't even turn the TV on as there is so much too see and do). We loved the apartment and highly recommend staying there. Our only criticism is the venetian blinds in the bed rooms are not effective at cutting out the street lighting by night. All blinds closed and still enough light in the room to see everything. Not an issue for us as we are good sleepers, but others may not fair so well. Still we were that tired each day from all the site seeing I don't think this will be an issue. Thanks to the Owner its was a fabulous stay! See you next time.

Shigaraki Tea Bowl
Shigaraki ware is associated with tea bowls and other utensils for the tea ceremony. However, the technique was first utilized to produce tiles for the roof of Shigaraki palace, which was built for Emperor Shōmu (reigned 724–49) of the Tenpyō period. Later, during the Kamakura period (1185–1333), the technique was used for utilitarian vessels, including water jars, large pots, and farming implements. Only after the Muromachi period (1392–1573) was Shigaraki ware used for tea bowls.

"William Dauber" Wikipedia (via DBPedia)
William "Billy" E. Dauber (June 30, 1935-July 2, 1980) was a Chicago mobster, hitman and associate in the Chicago Outfit's South Side chop shop ring. Born in Chicago and moved to Blue Island, Dauber was brought into the Chicago crime syndicate by mobster James "Jimmy the Bomber" Catuara, who operated illegal gambling and vice in Chicago's Southside. One of only a few southerners within the syndicate, Dauber quickly proved to be a valuable member of "The Outfit." As Catuara's protégé, Dauber was suspected in over 20 unsolved homicides, between 1969 and 1980, in the decade-long struggle for Steven Ostrowski's lucrative South Side chop shop operation. In 1973, Dauber was convicted of mail fraud and the interstate transportation of a stolen car used in an unsolved murder. After his release in 1976, Dauber joined rival mobster Albert Caesar Tocco as a top enforcer who had slowly gained control of the Southside. Shortly after Dauber's defection, Catuara was found shot to death in his red Cadillac on July 28, 1978. During the next several years, relations between Dauber and his former associates would become increasingly strained as, voiced by his wife Charlotte. He reportedly was becoming disgruntled over his treatment as well as his facing several federal indictments for which others may have come to suspect Dauber had agreed to become an informant. It was also well known that Dauber was a "hot-head" and believed he should have had more power in the rackets he was involved in. He was suspected of running several "competing" rackets that were not sanctioned by The Outfit and for which he did not "kick up" for.On July 2, 1980, the Daubers received a continuation from Judge Angelo Pistilli on charges accusing the couple of concealing cocaine and weapons in their suburban residence. While leaving the Will County courthouse, Dauber answered to reporters regarding his criminal activities, "I just live quietly in this country, that's all." While driving home from the courthouse, unidentified gunmen (In the Family Secrets case it was said that the hitmen were Frank Calabrese Sr., Ronnie Jarrett, Butch Petrocelli and Gerry Scarpelli driving a Ford van drove up alongside them and began firing at the car. Dauber, attempting to avoid the gunfire, crashed the car into an apple tree where, after being set on fire, it was later found by two farmers (the van was later found abandoned only a mile up the road).The incident was confessed to by Geri Scarpelli—a longtime associate of The Outfit.[citation needed] more »

This is with reference to "The export growth story" (
Business Line, February 7), which talks of export trends.
However, there are serious limitations in the database generated from the Director General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S), the main agency providing official data. The base year for these series is still 1978-79. Foreign trade, apart from emerging as an important sector, has undergone radical changes especially in the last decade. The unit value of exports mainly comprises domestic price and exchange rate.
This data gap needs to be urgently addressed by academicians and policymakers.

Excellent, obsessive, unprotected gang-bang has a baker's dozen fuckers, not the 20 advertised, but that's OK. A tall youth with long buttocks gives himself an enema with a showerhead, but not just for the fun of it. He's cleaning the cornhole out for use by the dicks of a dozen men who fuck him, apparently nonstop. He lies passive on a plain bed, changing position a few times, and the guys appear by ones or twos and fuck his ass. Some of them come in his hole (some apparently twice) and then use their cum as lube to fuck more. The movie seems to be shot in real time, so the next guys would be using their predecessors' loads as lube. The youth shows little reaction. A couple of times he sucks a cock briefly, but mostly lets his mouth be fucked by guys warming up while another guy is fucking. One guy doesn't make it past the mouth, coming on the youth's face. The others come in his hole, or around it, or his balls, with loads that range from watery to creamy to toothpaste-thick. Except for occasional tattoos, the young men look a lot alike, swimmer-built and either bald or shaveheaded. There are two mature muscle-hunks at the top and a lean, muscled mature man at the end.
