California Fish & Game Commission accepts "Candidate" Status for the Gray Wolf under California Endangered Species Act
PR Newswire
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- California moved one step closer to protecting the gray wolf under the California Endangered Species Act. On October 3rd the California Fish & Game Commission (Commission) voted unanimously to accept a listing petition filed by four conservation groups -- thus giving the gray wolf immediate "candidate" status, providing the species full state protections until a final decision is made.
This California native driven to extinction and absent from the state for nearly 90 years, gray wolves made international news when an adolescent male from Oregon, wolf OR-7, also known as "Journey," dispersed to California in late December 2011. OR-7's arrival riveted the world, as satellite signals kept the public apprised of his travels. Soon after, the listing petition to protect wolves under state law was filed.
Biologist and former attorney Amaroq Weiss, Northern California Representative for the California Wolf Center, spoke at the hearing on behalf of the four petitioners and her own organization. "We are extremely pleased the Commission accepted the petition, implicitly acknowledging the wolf as part of California's natural history and heritage," said Ms. Weiss. "Ever since Journey wandered into our state, the California Department of Fish and Game has actively connected with stakeholders, worked out management steps with federal authorities, and kept County Commissioners, private landowners and the general public informed. If the Commission lists the wolf, it will give the Department the broadest range of measures available by law to protect and recover this iconic native species."
The Commission received 7,000 letters from the public supporting the petition, and only 33 letters opposing it.
"Californians have spoken loud and clear that we welcome the return of wolves to our state," said Camilla Fox, Executive Director of Project Coyote and Wildlife Consultant to the Animal Welfare Institute who testified before the Commission on behalf of six organizations. "We commend the California Department of Fish and Game and the Commission for their proactive stance and we stand poised to work with them to promote wolf recovery, increase acceptance, and implement effective strategies that foster coexistence."

Fade to black: Bonita Springs movie theater closes its doors
BONITA SPRINGS - That's a wrap — for a local cinema. Regal Stadium 12 in Bonita Springs closed its doors Sunday evening.
Merchants and customers of The Prado at Spring Creek shopping center on U.S. 41 were stunned to learn the theater was shutting down after nearly nine years.
The cinema has no notice or information posted regarding the closure. A manager of Regal Stadium 12 confirmed its demise.
Brad and Cindy Muckel, of Naples, said as they exited the theater that they had no idea the doors were closing. The couple said they frequent the Bonita Springs cinema because it is less crowded than nearby theaters.
"We like it because it's less busy," Cindy Muckel said of the closure, "but I guess it has its drawbacks."
A manager for Stadium 12 said, the movie theater currently has close to 20 employees, including managers. With three other Regal cinemas nearby employees may have an opportunity to transfer to a new location.
Merchants and cinema customers said they assume the newer theaters at Coconut Point mall and Gulf Coast Town Center have hurt business. The Gulf Coast Cinema 16 in San Carlos Park is also a Regal cinema and has been open for nearly three years. The Hollywood theater at Coconut Point in Estero opened in Dec. 2007 and is the closest to Regal Bonita Springs.
The cinema is the latest business to hang the "Going out of business" and "This space available" in their windows at The Prado. The spaces to the left and right of the cinema are empty along with several other spaces spread throughout the strip mall.
Merchants said they found out the theater was closing from a local news source over the weekend and are wondering what will happen to the strip mall.
"It will definitely affect us, especially during the busy season," said Norma Lopez, manager at Crispers restaurant in the mall. "We don't know what will happen but there is always the possibility that this could close down the shopping center."
Lopez said the movie theater brings in a lot of business for the strip mall and all the merchants are wondering what will happen after it closes.
Associates at Wilford and Lee Home Accents said no one knew until they saw a story on a local television news source. They informed their manager the next morning and she had not heard the news either.
The associates said they are not concerned for Wilford and Lee since their customers are very specialized but the shopping center could be affected.
Bonita Springs resident Edward Sidor said he comes to this theater with his wife about once a month.
"It's really convenient for us," Sidor said. "I'm sorry to see it go but that's life."

15392SV: mat hatti
- May 19, 2014
Dear Cynthia,
I am quite sure that other people here will have more information, but in the Babylonian Chronicle (the Wiseman one), you have it [Grayson, Assyrian and Babyælonian Chronicles. P. 100, l. 16: a-na KURḪat-tú illik-ma etc.]

Fra: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com]

Til: firstname.lastname@example.com
Emne: [ANE-2] mat hatti
A question I would have asked dear Avigdor z"l if he were still with us:
How long was the currency of the geographic term "mat hatti"? Was it still in use in the Babylonian and Persian periods (references please)?
Is it plausible that a Bab. or Persian period Judean scribe, who was educated in Mesopotamian literary tradition, would be familiar with the term?

That there is no Starcraft movie.. after watching the HoTS cinematic trailer, it just doesn't feel right.
Edited by Valkra on 4/25/2013 3:13 PM PDT
True, a StarCraft movie would be flashy and awesome to watch...
... but really, considering that video game movies are considered pretty bad (Super Mario Bros., the horrible amalgam of Uwe Boll's features)... I think it's best that StarCraft doesn't get a movie adaptation in any way.
what no mention of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? i mean Super Mario Bros. was BAD, but it at least "somewhat" paid attention to roughly between 1-10% of the source material lol

Come Clean
Jun19 2010 English 44min
Prophets were sent to call people to cleanliness. The representatives of Shaytan are present in everyone. People's egos make them think they are owners, commanders and controllers of everything. Allah Almighty ordered Sayyidina Musa, alayhi salam to remove his shoes as he was entering the sacred valley, Tuwa. What is the wisdom? Muslims remove their shoes before entering a holy place but as a symbol, explains Mawlana, they are those shoes that tread on the heart. Every dirtiness, inner and outer alters Truth, brings uncleanliness. Therefore Allah Almighty orders: If you want to come to Me, come clean.
Forbidding the Veil
Jun17 2010 English 53min
Man needs Allah's support every second. Why was all this created? Wasting our most precious grant, we are losing. We are toying with Reality. Shaytan has a purpose. Its creation must be the basis of moving closer to Allah. Now, it is impossible to move without the support of heavenly ones. Prophets were sent to advise people. What Allah granted the rich was to be shared with the needy. Forbidding the veil, as France has, carries a penalty. Passing a law over Muslim women requires that Muslim governments send France an ultimatum. Allah's Order will prevail.
Heavenly Winds
Jun16 2010 English 38min
Paradise is the life that Allah Almighty chooses for Man. Shaytan, Allah warns is our greatest enemy, wanting us to remain imprisoned in darkness and fear. Our real being needs heavenly grants but the desire for material enjoyments prevents us from entering the Lord's Beauty Oceans. Presence in meetings supported by the heavens is therefore crucial. Heavenly winds reach the Earth and give the real being a power, just as the spring winds revive Nature. The physical being must be keenly attentive in order to experience and take a share of the power of these Heavenly Winds.
The Perfection of Man
Jun15 2010 English 42min
According to Allah Almighty's Will, one wali controls everything on this planet. If Man understood the importance of his creation he would set down his forehead in obeisance, seeking Eternity. There is no aim greater than reaching the Lord's heavenly presence. Unlike the disciples of Jesus who asked for a heavenly spread of food for their physical being, the Prophet's Companions suffered hunger thereby reaching the real purpose of their existence. Now, the Ummah is occupied with the unimportant. They are heedless. They must gain self-knowledge and try to reach 'kamal': the Perfection of Man.
Man Needs to Open
Jun14 2010 English 40min
All knowledge is taking man to his Creator but the Salafi ulama are imprisoned inside four walls. They are not worthy of being addressed. They are incapable of understanding and the Prophet said: address people according to their level of understanding. Advance mathematics can help explain the universe but also in limits. None can reach the knowledge granted to the Prophet. Now, when people pride their selves in knowledge, heavenly authority is being given for a new understanding but people are ignorant about such subjects. All prophets came to open peoples' hearts. Man needs to open.
Understanding Capacity
Jun13 2010 English 39min
Allah asks the servant to witness Truth. To hear, see and understand Eternal Truth. Openings come to those who ask and they are awarded according to their levels. The heart must be in a wholly giving position. These realities are not learned from books. Holy guides have the keys to such learning and with angels to assist, help weak servants reach heavenly understanding. The physical being is unimportant but the understanding capacity spans the universe.
Give for Me
Jun12 2010 English 39min
What can people give to their Lord? They can grant Him their humbleness because humility signifies that the servant accepts his nothingness. The Lord created him, so he glorifies His Majesty. All creation does. The Lord has everything. He is not in need of anything. He gives, and also asks the servant to give those who are needy. He says: "Give for Me".
Fihi Ma Fihi
Jun10 2010 English 40min
Allah Almighty sent prophets, but people turned against the prophets and prophecy. This is signified by the verse "ulaika kal an`am bal hum adall" in the Holy Quran. They are likened to animals, but Mawlana explains how this verse also applies to those who live in the present time. He emphasizes that everything is contained in the Holy Quran, using the title from a book by one of the Prophet's inheritors: Fihi ma fihi.
Kill Your Ego
Jun09 2010 English 43min
Servants ask Allah and He grants more and more through His attribute, Al Karim. He grants endlessly. Those who reach the point of being forgiven reach their highest aspiration but the servant's happiness makes shaytan unhappy. It creates problems for him and the servant becomes hopeless. Man is oppressing his own soul. He can only be free when the ego is crushed. Then, no evil can be created, nor any devil followed. Only Truth can be seen. Man must not worry or be hopeless of Allah's Mercy. The Holy Quran therefore prescribes: kill your selves (egos)."
The Way Leading Straight
Jun08 2010 English 43min
Those who can understand will be valued in Divine Presence. People here are of two groups, drinking either from clean springs or from dirty channels. Western understanding of real religion is different from a Muslim one. The Muslim world is under western control, following their lifestyle, drinking sewage. They are making forms and calling them 'god'. Why are we following them? Allah says: this indeed is a way that leads straight to Me.
I Am Nothing
Jun07 2010 English 43min
For Man to consider himself exceptional is the lowest level of ignorance and heedlessness. We are servants and we are all on the same level. None can claim the attribute of mightiness. It belongs to Allah Almighty only. The Prophet's (s) Hadith clarifies this: I sit like the servant sits and I eat like the servant eats. This is enough to show an ailing Ummah the right way to be. It is a teaching for all nations. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ teaches: "I am nothing in my Lord's Divine Presence".
The Heavenly Balance
Jun06 2010 English 41min
People need good understanding to benefit from heavenly grants. If not, they will pursue something which will finally end up in nothing. Mawlana commenting on the mindless frenzy of modern day football illustrates that Allah Almighty has established a Balance for everything. He questions the Muslim ulama about their disregard of the Sharia and their negligence of the Heavenly Balance.
I Am a Servant
Jun03 2010 English 39min
Allah's is Absolute Lordship. A servant is always under the command of his Lord, Allah Almighty. A slave cannot assume lordship but shaytan makes him say 'I am someone; this or that'. Such a claim is artificial and impossible. Sayyidina Ibrahim's story in the Holy Quran symbolizes the breaking of the idol of pride. Until this idol is broken man remains the servant of shaytan, expelled from the Divine Presence. Therefore, the Prophet (s) exhorted his companions to struggle against their worst enemy, the self. Man's real position is in saying: I am a servant.
Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim
Jun02 2010 English 37min
The first command the Holy Pen wrote on the Preserved Tablet was Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Its blessings are endless. Its recitation brings rest and happiness. It is more than enough for locked hearts, blocked heads and anything else difficult to treat. Without it, everything is impotent. It descended from the Heavens for the prophets of other nations but was given to the entire Nation of the Beloved. In abandoning Belief, Mankind is losing its chance. The Heavens control the Earth. Good tidings to those who say it. Quickly connect to heavenly power. Say: Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim.
Teach Real Belief
May31 2010 English 43min
Shaytan and its servants are under attack in the Heavens. Shaytan is weak but when made welcome, harms. Scientists who cannot fathom the Heavens, theorize. They acknowledge only what their senses perceive, the material aspect of things. Who is the Creator and Controller of this planet? The existence of That One is beyond their imagination. First, there must be Belief. Reality, not nonsense theory, must be taught. Everything with a beginning comes to an end. We are weak servants. We must ask for heavenly protection. We must come to Real Belief. Why are they not teaching Real Belief?
Wahabis Versus the Truth
May30 2010 English 44min
The Wahabi are trying to change Islamic Belief according to their understanding. They compromise and depreciate the glory of the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam. They accuse ordinary Muslims of falling into innovation and unbelief. It is not for them to stand in judgement over the Muslim Nation. The teachings of the Holy Quran and the Prophet's sunnah are clear. For Islam to attain glory, its understanding must be real. The Azhar ulama must take responsibility in challenging them. They must defend the Truth and not be afraid of 'a handful of people', the Wahabis.
These Are Not Fairy Tales
May29 2010 English 36min
It was revealed to the Prophet (s) on his Night Journey that the special mount, the Buraq, was not only for the beloved of the Lord of Heavens, but also for his nation. In the present time the reality of Islam is not well known, even by Muslims. Only its name and traces remain. In order to journey from earthly to heavenly positions Muslims must prepare themselves. They must seek those who can guide them. The Muslim rulers and scholars cannot. Those who carry the secret of the journey, can. These are not fairy tales.
Everything Outside Is Inside Man
May27 2010 English 38min
The Greatness of the Creator is that everyone's being is special and is glorifying its Lord with a special glorification. The Creator asked for His trust to be carried and Man accepted. This indicates that unlimited treasures could be open to Man. No one can say where knowledge begins or ends. Can an atom hold a universe? According to our capacity it is impossible, not for the Creator. The key to understanding is to reflect about everything. The more Man looks inside himself the more he learns about his Creator. Everything outside is inside Man.

King's Cross restaurants
Discover the top restaurants and gastropubs in King's Cross
Going out for a meal in King's Cross should be so much more than grabbing something at a station stall before catching your train, though you'll need to know where you're heading to find something special. This list of recommended restaurants near King's Cross St Pancras will help. Think we've missed a great restaurant in King's Cross? Let us know in the comment box below.
Grain Store
The one-time industrial wasteland north of King's Cross station has been transformed by a hugely ambitious urban regeneration project. Grain Store occupies just one part of a vast former Victorian warehouse. Most of the rest of the building has been imaginatively transformed into Central Saint Martins, and so the forecourt, Granary Square, is now perpetually thronged with fashionably dressed students.Read more
Caravan King's Cross
Whereas the original Caravan (on Exmouth Market) is a small space, with a neighbourhood vibe, this offshoot is an altogether bigger, more urbane operation. The large, industrial-looking room lacks intimacy, but has a laid-back buzz and great people-watching opportunities. The ethos is the same in both branches: welcoming, efficient staff and a menu of what they call 'well travelled food'.Read more
A hypercoloured graffiti mural covering the top four floors of the building sounds warning bells. Is Karpo going be a style-over-content kind of joint? Thankfully, no – the food delivers innovative flavours, the staff are friendly, and the location is ideal for an easy-going dinner date or catching up with friends near King's Cross.Read more
Norfolk Arms
'This is the most exciting opening in the vicinity in recent times.' You wouldn't know it as no date is given, but the Time Out quote adorning the front page of the Norfolk Arms website celebrated its seventh birthday in 2013. From E1 to W1, London is full of bars and restaurants that have been coasting for ages on the back of a good review received years earlier. Happily, the Norfolk Arms isn't one of them; although 2006 no longer qualifies as 'recent times', this smaller-than-it-looks corner pub retains its place among the best in the area.Read more
Gilbert Scott
The 2011 reopening of architect George Gilbert Scott's former Midland Grand Hotel has resurrected one of the most visually arresting edifices in London; its former 'Coffee Room' is now home to this relatively casual venture from chef Marcus Wareing. His mark is evident in the well-drilled, personable service and flawless cooking. As with the rest of the hotel, the space is nothing short of spectacular – this is Victorian embellishment at its most exuberant, with pillars, gilt, cornicing and huge windows.Read more
Mother Flipper
Humble market stall it may be, but mother-f...lipper.... the burgers are brilliant. Fat, juicy patties, crafted from a blend of 28-day aged cuts, are grilled on a little hotplate and anointed with one of three toppings: molten cheese (Mother Flipper Cheese Burger, £5), hot-and-sweet pickled red jalapeños (Chilli Flipper, £5.50) or thick strips of 'candied' bacon (Double Candy Bacon Flipper, £6), then popped onto a rich brioche bun with lettuce, pickles and onions.Read more
It might sound a bit like something you'd hear Dick Van Dyke singing in Mary Poppins, but you won't find much chimney sweeping going on at Kimchinary. Instead, this is the street food stall of Swedish burrito-meister Hanna Söderlund who fuses Hispanic street food with Korean ingredients. These include kimchi – Korean-style spicy, fermented Chinese cabbage – which features in just about every dish on offer. Hence the name.Read more
Fortnum & Mason Tea Salon
The King's Cross area is scrubbing up nicely – so nicely that you need to look hard to find a discarded cardboard cup of builder's tea. With the opening of this little outpost of a royalty-endorsed tea room inside St Pancras station, the gentrification is being buffed to a shine. Signature loose leaf teas, posh preserves and hamper goodies make a fetching display in the international terminal's gift shop, while the café – a crown jewel of refined light bites – is the perfect setting in which to put the world to rights over the clink of fine china.Read more
Aux Pains de Papy
A trip to Paris on the Eurostar might be the best way to indulge yourself in a French café experience, but what's the next best thing? A trip to King's Cross for this endearing little café, a mere boule's-throw from the Eurostar terminal. Aux Pains de Papy already has a loyal following of office workers seeking their daily bread and satisfying lunchtime sandwiches, but it's also worth seeking out patisserie and boulangerie.Read more
Plum & Spilt Milk
The Great Northern Hotel takes its signals from the King's Cross railway station that surrounds and dominates it. The livery looks swanky; the prices are high. It successfully evokes the glamour of travel rather than the drudge of commuting. The GNH even hired an ex-Ramsay celebrity chef back in the spring. Yet Mark Sargeant's arrival was later than a First Capital Connect service – months, in fact, after the dining room opened to the public.Read more

Small, Minority, and Disadvantaged Business in the Department of Homeland Security - Selected Aspects, FY 2007
Feds earn low grades from SBA
SBA chief: Tougher times ahead for agency contracting scores
The House Homeland Security Committee is concerned that the Homeland Security Department does not have an accurate measure of the money it spends with small businesses. Here is the cause of concern.Under the current system, if DHS awards a $10 million contract to a woman-owned, small business in a Historically Underutilized Business Zone, that a contract counts three times:Once towards its woman-owned business goals. Once towards HUB Zone business goals.And once toward its small-business goal.

15. The method according to
[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of electronic devices, and more particularly to a system and method improving processing and enhancing performance of an information oriented device using information tags and a communication network for facilitating competitive Internet bid transactions.
[0002] Electronic commerce and information retrieval are two of the most important aspects of the Internet or World Wide Web. As the Internet grows, many Web sites are becoming connected and more corporations are do business on the "Web". Moreover, these Web sites are providing an increasing amount of information regarding almost any product available in traditional retail stores, as well selling their products electronically.
[0003] This e-commerce ability allows users, almost anywhere on the globe to which a Web connection is available, to access any commercial business offering catalog implemented as a Web site.
[0004] As with prior forms of traditional commerce, consumers are quickly becoming savvier in their use of the Internet (e.g. e-commerce) to retrieve product information, purchase various items and obtain the best on-line deals.
[0005] In particular, the Internet has provided a convenient mechanism for marketing products. Many web sites offer products for sale. Generally a potential customer viewing such a web site indicates a desire to buy a particular product by "clicking" on a particular location on the display screen. Some sites require a user to "register" by giving a name, address and credit card information. Later when a customer desires to buy a product the information entered during registration is used for billing and shipping. Other sites allow a customer to enter billing and shipping information after the customer has indicated a desire to purchase a particular product.
[0006] Some web sites allow a buyer to bid on products that are offered in the Internet's equivalent of an auction. Other web sites allow a user to made an offer to buy products at a price specified by the buyer, much as an individual might make an offer to buy a product at a particular price in a face to face situation.
[0007] Web sites such as those described above in essence utilize the Internet to automate a conventional buying process. The process takes place at great speed and the parties may be remote, but the fundamental transaction is conventional. Moreover, e-commerce users lack an effective interface when using the Internet remotely. Although, certain remote hand-held devices are known interfacing with the Internet, such as PDAs and Internet enabled cell phones, they all suffer limitations such as difficulty in inputting a large amount of data quickly, or curtailed Internet capability. More importantly, consumers lack the ability to efficiently merge the use of on-line capabilities (e.g. e-commerce) in a real-time manner, while in a traditional place of commerce (e.g. on-site).
[0008] The invention provides a remote tag processing terminal for facilitating competitive Internet bid transactions and counter offer proposals. A remote terminal reads/scans one or more item/product tags or labels, and their content is transmitted to a service node. The service node enables on-line retailers to evaluate the scanned labels and send competitive bid information for related products to the remote terminal. This allows a user to determine whether to complete an on-line or on-site commercial transaction in response to the received competitive bids from other retailer or submit a counter offer for a particular product to one or more (on-line or on-site) retailers.
[0009] One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method of doing business that allows a remote user to receive competitive bids for similar products relating to a scanned product tag or label in a retailer location, which can then be accepted to complete an on-line transaction. Remote users/customers obtain competitive bids from one or more on-line retailers of similar products available through the Internet, while shopping in a conventional mall or retailer location. A customer uses a remote terminal that is configured with a scanner, to scan the item or product. The remote terminal scans the barcode or electronic identification, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) of a merchandise item. The remote terminal includes a display screen and a wireless communication capability for transmitting this information to a service node, such as a network server or host computer. Thereafter, the service node enables on-line retailers the opportunity to send competitive bids on similar products available on their Web site or actual location, e.g. a Macy's or Wal-Mart location, to the mobile terminal. The user can then select which product to purchase, e.g. an on-line product or the on-site.
[0010] Another embodiment of the invention is directed to an apparatus including a tag reader capable of reading information from one or more product tags, a communication unit capable of communicating information to one or more service nodes and a controller arranged to receive information from the label reader, send a request to one or more of the service nodes through the communication unit, receive/display a response from the service node, and send profile information, regarding a user, to a service node to accept a competitive bid or send a counter offer in response to one or more of the received competitive bids and then enter into a commercial transaction with the on-line retailer. The request and the response are formatted as documents capable of being exchanged in a distributed, decentralized environment.
[0011] These and other advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description of an illustrative embodiment of the invention considered together with the drawings, in which:
[0012]FIG. 1 illustrates the operation of a tag processing system for facilitating competitive Internet bid transactions in accordance with the invention.
[0013]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an exemplary remote terminal device in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
[0014]FIG. 3 is a block diagram of exemplary communication stacks for a remote terminal in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
[0015]FIG. 1 shows a system for facilitating competitive Internet bid transactions using product information received from a tag processing remote terminal. The system utilizes electronic tag technology, such as barcode technology or Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which allows product tags or labels to be read and their content to be transmitted to a web site or Internet service provider to enable on-line retailers to conduct a search for similar products in their catalog or inventory and provide a competitive bid to the service node/web site. The service node/web site then sends a response to the terminal, which allows a user to accept one or more of the competitive bids.
[0016] The system includes the following components: interconnected service provider networks, including the Internet 100, an Intranet 102, a Public Switched Telephone Network 104, and a wireless network 106, wireless remote terminals 108, and service nodes 110. It will be recognized that FIG. 1 is simplified for explanation purposes and that the full network environment for the invention will comprise provisions for network reliability through redundancy, links to other networks and applications, etc., all of which need not be shown here.
[0017] Smart labeling is the latest Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, combining the advantages of barcode, Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) and traditional RFID solutions. RFID systems allow for non-contact reading in manufacturing and other types of environments where barcode labels may not perform properly or be practical. RFID has applications in a wide range of markets including automated vehicle identification (AVI) systems and livestock identification because of its capability to track moving objects. The technology has become a primary player in identification, automated data collection, and analysis systems worldwide.
[0018] For example, Philips Semiconductors' ICODE ICs represent the state-of-the-art in smart label technology, offering a low-cost, re-programmable and disposable solution for source tagging, automatic data capture, theft protection and data storage on a product or its packaging. ICODE smart labels allow almost any item to be tagged for efficient handling. ICODE's highly automated item scanning process does not require line-of-sight and can scan multiple labels at the same time.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 1 one or more remote terminals 108 scan a particular product 112 tag or label 114. Preferably, the tag or label 114 comprises an RFID tag, but other types of information tags may be used, e.g., barcodes. The remote terminal 108 communicates with one or more of the more service nodes 110, over the service provider networks, e.g. network servers, Internet service provider (ISP) nodes, Intranet LAN, Websites, etc. For example, the Internet may be accessed by the remote terminal 108 through a wireless interface connection, using well-known conventional communication protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP).
[0020]FIG. 2 shows an example of a hardware design of the remote terminal 108 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. In this example, the remote terminal 109 includes a processor 200, a memory 202 and a display . The processor 200 may represent, e.g., a microprocessor, a central processing unit, a computer, a circuit card, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASICs), as well as portions or combinations of these and other types of processing device which already part of the remote terminal 108 (e.g., CPU for a wireless handset or PDA). The memory 202 may represent, e.g., disk-based optical or magnetic storage units, electronic memories, as well as portions or combinations of these and other memory devices. The display 121 may represent a video, audio, or tactile means of communicating information. As shown, the remote terminal 108 also includes a communication unit 204 (e.g. Ethernet, Bluetooth, cellular or packet data interface), a tag reading unit 206, and one or more context sensors 208. The tag reading unit 206 may be internal to the remote terminal 100 in which the unit 206A appears as part of the memory space of the remote terminal 108 or an external reading unit 206B that can be accessed via a serial interface. Preferably, the tag reading unit 206 is an RFID type reader, but other types of tag/identity generation/reading mechanisms may be used, e.g., a barcode reader. The context sensors 208 may include any type of sensor necessary or useful for the specific remote terminal 108 (e.g., temperature sensors, light sensors, moisture sensors, motion sensors, infrared sensors, etc.).
[0021] The remote terminal 108 may also include one or more operation units 210. The operation unit 210 performs the functions of a secondary task unrelated to the principles of the present invention, such as the operation of a wristwatch, personal computer, PDA or wireless telephone. Importantly, an operation unit is needed, such as a keyboard or a tactile interface, such as a stylus and a video display, to adjust the received competitive bid information to transmit a counter offer to one or more service nodes, as described below. It should be understood that these are only examples and the remote terminal 108 is not to be limited by these examples.
[0022] The software design for the communication stacks of the remote terminal 108 are illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 3. These stacks may include: Physical and data link layers: Ethernet, Bluetooth, 1394, or other similar protocols; Network and transport layers: IP and TCP protocols; HTTP protocol: Post feature only; Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP): read/write capabilities only; XML parser using Document Object Model (DOM) or Simple API for XML (SAX) interfaces. Preferably a micro XML parser (less than 40 KB in size) is used as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/725,970, filed Nov. 29, 2000, incorporated herein by reference; Memory or serial interface to tag reader.
[0023] Additional details regarding conventional XML may be found in XML 1.0 (Second Edition), World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation, October 2000, www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml, which is incorporated by reference herein.
[0024] As referenced in FIG. 3, SOAP is a protocol for exchanging information in a distributed, decentralized environment. SOAP is an XML based protocol consisting of: an envelope which defines a means for describing what a message contains and how it is to be processed, encoding rules for expressing application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses. SOAP messages are typically one-way transmissions from a sender to a receiver, but they can be combined to implement patterns such as request/response.
[0025] HTTP is a protocol with the lightness and speed necessary for a distributed collaborative hypermedia information system. It is a generic stateless object-oriented protocol, which may be used for many similar tasks such as name servers, and distributed object-oriented systems, by extending the commands, or "methods", used. A feature if HTTP is the negotiation of data representation, allowing systems to be built independently of the development of new advanced representations.
[0026] In general, sending data over the Internet is typically performed using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
[0027] The physical layer is concerned with the electrical, mechanical and timing aspects of signal transmission over a communication medium. The remote terminal 100 can include any one or more of a variety of well known layers such as modems, Ethernet, cellular and Bluetooth.
[0028] Returning now to FIG. 1, in operation, the remote terminal 108 receives/reads information the label 114. The label 114 may be active or passive. A determination is made as to which of the service nodes 110 is to be contacted. This determination is based upon information received/read from the label 114. For example, the type of product scanned is used to determine the service nodes, e.g. a scanned television product would send the label information to television manufacture/distributor (service nodes) web sites. Moreover, the service nodes 110 may be a web server of for a particular search engine or a product's (or similar product's) manufacturer. Tables of product/manufactures can be used facilitate this determination. The remote terminal 108 then sends a document containing tag information to one or more of the more determined service nodes 110. The remote terminal 108 then receives one or more competitive bids from one or more on-line retailers back from the service nodes 110. In this example the competitive bids include pricing and shipping cost, of similar products available through the Internet. Thereafter, a user can accept a particular competitive bid received, or submit a counter offer to a particular on-line retailer.
[0029] In this manner a user is able to remotely whether to complete an on-site or an on-line sales transaction or make a counter offer to either the on-site or an on-line retailer. Remote users/customers obtain competitive bids, while shopping in a conventional mall or retailer location.
[0030] An advantage of the present invention is that a wide variety of system architectures can be used to implement the system of FIG. 2. Server-side and client-side architectures can be used. As briefly mention above, the service nodes 114 may be a web server coupled to the remote terminal 100 over the Internet or other communication network.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the service nodes 110 may be coupled to a profile database 116. It is noted that the profile database 116 may be integrated with the service nodes 110. The service node 114 processes the document from the remote terminal 108 and accesses an appropriate profile from the profile database 116. The profiles represent information associated with particular user for the remote terminal 108. One or more profiles may be associated with a particular remote terminal 108 for different users. Each profile includes information necessary to complete commercial transaction on-line, e.g. credit card information, mailing address. They may also contain user preferences as provided by each user, regarding products, such as made, models, etc. or as determined by the remote terminal 100 using historical information indicative of previous product requests (e.g. product tags scanned) between a remote terminal and the service node.
[0032] Alternatively, the remote terminal 108 may initially contact a first service node 110 which includes an index/directory of other service nodes 110.
[0033] Preferably an XML/SOAP message is sent and received by the remote terminal 108 and the service nodes 110. This is advantageous because messages can be exchanged efficiently in a distributed, decentralized environment. The XML/SOAP message can be adapted to many different applications.
[0034] The HTTP Post Module was designed to offer the posting mechanism needed by the remote terminal 108. Since a full implementation of the HTTP 1.1 specification was not necessary for this module, it only implements the HTTP POST command. The module may be built using the win-socket library (WinSock32.11b) available with Microsoft Visual Studio V: 6.0.
[0035] The SOAP Write Module may be created using WriteSOAP. WriteSOAP is a module for creating SOAP messages compliant with the SOAP specifications. See SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol Version 1.1 (www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/), which is incorporated by reference herein. Another requirement for module is to create SOAP messages that can be understood by the APACHE-SOAP implementation. This is a very versatile tool for writing XML documents. It is able to make a direct mapping between various data-types and their equivalent representation in SOAP.
[0036] The functional operations associated with the remote terminal 108, as described above, may be implemented in whole or in part in one or more software programs stored in the memory 202 and executed by the processor 200. Additionally, the service provider networks of FIG. 1 may also represent a wide area network, a metropolitan area network, a local area network, a cable network or a satellite network, as well as portions or combinations of these and other types of networks. The service nodes 110 and the remote terminals 108 may themselves be respective server and client machines coupled to the service provider networks.
[0037] The following merely illustrates the principles of the invention. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements which, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the invention and are included within its spirit and scope.
[0038] Furthermore, all examples and conditional language recited herein are principally intended expressly to be only for pedagogical purposes to aid the reader in understanding the principles of the invention and the concepts contributed by the inventor(s) to furthering the art, and are to be construed as being without limitation to such specifically recited examples and conditions.
[0039] Thus, for example, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the block diagrams herein represent conceptual views of illustrative circuitry embodying the principles of the invention. Similarly, it will be appreciated that any flow charts, flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, and the like represent various processes which may be substantially represented in computer readable medium and so executed by a computer or processor, whether or not such computer or processor is explicitly shown.
[0040] The functions of the various elements shown in the FIGS. 1 and 2, including functional blocks labeled as "processors" may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware capable of executing software in association with appropriate software. When provided by a processor, the functions may be provided by a single dedicated processor, by a single shared processor, or by a plurality of individual processors, some of which may be shared. Moreover, explicit use of the term "processor" or "controller" should not be construed to refer exclusively to hardware capable of executing software, and may implicitly include, without limitation, digital signal processor (DSP) hardware, read-only memory (ROM) for storing software, random access memory (RAM), and non-volatile storage.

Just curious, why is it that our culture tells us to respect women but doesnt mention respecting men?
At a guess, it's because historically men were in charge of everything and got all the respect they needed pretty much automatically. Women were second-class citizens, so they didn't get the same kind of respect. So to balance things out, we needed an explicit instruction to respect them more.

(Hopefully this is changing a bit now, but it all seems frustratingly slow...)
It is because most cultures have a religious background that has already set a standard for women to respect men, listen, even be "obedient" that was already established.
It's implied that men already have respect so it need not be mentioned. Men are generally in positions of more power, and therefore respect, while women had to fight for equal rights all the way up to the 1960's or 70's, and many would say later.

With that said, I agree, men deserve respect as well. I don't like it when women use their gender as excuses to mistreat men.

Men are disposable; hence "Women and children first".
Yes id like to know that as well since god gave adam charge over eve
Don't mix up culture with personality. Culture is always in transition, and at present seems to be going through a phase of adjustment from male supremacy. This is exciting, but not hitch free because any change in culture is vulnerable to the dominant voices of that time. Sometimes it is shaped by the sacrificial acts of selfless people; sometimes it can be derailed strong personalities with their own interests in mind. Human beings are fallible regardless of gender.
its assumed that we will be so blind in pedastalling women we wont notice that
cause of the culture of disrespecting women. Ive had lots of mothers tell their daughters to respect me in certain situations though.
men are ********...

Barack Hussein Obama II (i/bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. In January 2005, Obama was sworn in as a U.S. Senator in the state of Illinois. He would hold this office until November 2008, when he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.
Following an unsuccessful bid against the Democratic incumbent for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2000, Obama ran for the United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Illinois Democratic primary for the Senate election and his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in Illinois in November 2004. His presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. In the 2008 presidential election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months later, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In April 2011, he announced that he would be running for re-election in 2012.

Stone Vertical Epic Takes Over the Flying Saucer
Friday, December 14, 2012 | 3 years ago
Last night at the Flying Saucer, Stone Brewing Co. released all ten of its Vertical Epic Ales at once - including the latest 12.12.12 batch - for a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience. Guests were able to sample all ten ales side-by-side in a vertical tasting that spanned an entire decade's worth of brewing. Concieved by Stone Brewing founder Greg Koch in 2001 as an experiment in brewing and aging beer, a different recipe of Vertical Epic Ale has been released in limited batches every year, beginning in 2002 with the 02.02.02 Vertical Epic. The entire run of eleven beers was brewed with the express purpose of being tasted side by side after December 12th 2012, or 12.12.12. It is a project and event of such massive scope that it is - so far - unrivaled in American craft brewing history. PHOTOS BY JOSHUA JUSTICE
