No. 12 Wisconsin opens the season at home Saturday against Northern Iowa. All eyes are on Badgers running back Montee Ball, who was attacked and beaten up near campus a month ago, leaving him with a concussion that caused him to miss part of camp. Three men were arrested in connection with the incident this week. Ball scored 39 touchdowns to tie Barry Sanders' NCAA record last season. Northern Iowa is ranked No. 7 in a preseason FCS coaches' poll. The Panthers beat Iowa State in 2007 and nearly beat the Cyclones again last year, losing 20-19 after blowing a late lead. Northern Iowa lost 17-16 at Iowa in 2009 after having a pair of late field goal attempts blocked.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of WELLBUTRIN SR or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. WELLBUTRIN SR is not approved for use in pediatric patients. (See WARNINGS: Clinical Worsening and Suicide Risk, PRECAUTIONS: Information for Patients, and PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use.)
WELLBUTRIN SR®(bupropion hydrochloride)Sustained-Release Tablets
WELLBUTRIN SR (bupropion hydrochloride), an antidepressant of the aminoketone class, is chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, or other known antidepressant agents. Its structure closely resembles that of diethylpropion; it is related to phenylethylamines. It is designated as (±)-1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-1-propanone hydrochloride.
WELLBUTRIN SR is indicated for the treatment of depression.
The efficacy of bupropion in the treatment of depression was established in two 4-week controlled trials of depressed inpatients and in one 6-week controlled trial of depressed outpatients whose diagnoses corresponded most closely to the Major Depression category of the APA Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
A major depressive episode (DSM-IV) implies the presence of 1) depressed mood or 2) loss of interest or pleasure; in addition, at least five of the following symptoms have been present during the same 2-week period and represent a change from previous functioning: depressed mood, markedly diminished interest or pleasure in usual activities, significant change in weight and/or appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, increased fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, a suicide attempt or suicidal ideation.
The efficacy of WELLBUTRIN SR in maintaining an antidepressant response for up to 44 weeks following 8 weeks of acute treatment was demonstrated in a placebo-controlled trial (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). Nevertheless, the physician who elects to use WELLBUTRIN SR for extended periods should periodically reevaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.

under fasting conditions.
Zyban as an Effective Smoking Cessation Aid for Patients Following an Acute Coronary Syndrome: The ZESCA Trial [Recruiting]
Patients who continue to smoke after a heart attack have a 35% increased risk of a recurrent
event or death compared with those who quit. Many patients attempt to stop smoking after a
heart attack, but relapse rates approach 66%. A variety of smoking cessation aids have been
shown to be effective for the general population. However, bupropion is the only
non-nicotine replacement therapy shown to improve abstinence rates in healthy young smokers.
Furthermore, nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) are contraindicated in the immediate
period following a heart attack because of the undesirable effects of nicotine. Although
bupropion has been successfully used to reduce smoking rates in healthy young populations,
its efficacy and safety in the setting of patients recovering from an ACS is unknown. These
patients, if they continue to smoke, are at exceptionally high risk for recurrent cardiac
events. If bupropion is effective in this population, it will have a major impact on
secondary prevention of recurrent clinical events in patients who suffer a heart attack.
The Effect of Varenicline (Chantix) and Bupropion (Zyban) on Smoking Lapse Behavior [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to examine how smoking cessation medications (varenicline,
bupropion) affect the ability to resist smoking and also subsequent ad-lib smoking in
non-treatment seeking daily smokers.

I was recently assigned to task to encrypt some data and send it to our server. I found some valuable resources on the internet but they all require a public key, private key and secret password for the encryption. Please is there any simple way I can encrypt with just pgp key, since that's what I was given?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
PGP simply works with pairs of private and public keys. The secret password is optional as far as i know.
I assume that you have been given a public OpenPGP key. This one is enough to do encryption of data, which is intended to be decrypted by the person who gave you his public key.
In .NET you can use BouncyCastle or OpenPGPBlackbox package of our SecureBlackbox product. SecureBlackbox comes with extensive samples and support is offered as well (unlike alternatives).
Public PGP keys can encrypt data and verify signatures. Private PGP keys can decrypt data and sign data. If you have someone's public key, just use it, it won't prompt you for a password.

Because Thais don't really have a dessert tradition, this simple black rice dish with coconut milk is most commonly eaten as a sweet snack or for breakfast it also, however, makes a wonderful end to a meal. Recently available in North America, black glutinous rice is unpolished, so it is quite chewy, like brown rice. Thais make a more tender dish by combining the black rice with white sticky rice. As the rices soak together before steaming, the white rice takes on color from the black to become a beautiful dark purple.
YIELD: Serves 6 to 8 as a dessert or sweet snack
Soak and steam black rice and sticky rice together, following procedures in recipe for Sticky Rice .
While rice is steaming, in a small saucepan heat coconut milk, sugar, and salt over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Keep sauce warm, covered.
Transfer steamed rice to a bowl and immediately pour warm sauce over it, stirring gently. Let rice mixture stand covered, at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours for rice to absorb sauce and flavors to blend. Do not chill mixture or it will dry out and harden.
Serve rice with fruit.

It's summer again in the Northern Hemisphere and as temperatures rise expect the clothes to begin peeling off. We have assembled some tips to adapt your style to the heat without resorting to a full monty. (more…)
We hope you've been hitting the gym to tone up your winter gut because it's officially the first day of summer. Break out those boardshorts, tanks and sunglasses from your closet.

It can be a bit tricky to dress with style if you don't exactly know what to wear with what. It's easy enough to get inspiration from all the pictures of celebrities floating around the Internet.

Here are three celebrities with a cool, laid back style that is so easy to recreate. (more…)
It's that time of year when you start planning spring breaks and tropical getaways, so you're going to need a hand on what to pack. We've picked some of our favorite sun essentials that must be in your suitcase if you're beach bound.

don't see Molina sparking him out
the Ishida thing was a fluke. Williams stopped that hype
another loss is nasty for Kirkland now, so would like to see him win
Molina can take him though
but if he tries for a quick KO, he'll be the one who walks into a big shot

Kirkland has been either wobbled or knocked down in the first round vs. Conyers, Julio, Berrio, Ishida, and Angulo. James is likeable and has a great exciting style, but something is not right with his legs.

Lol what kind of notes can you take from that fight except that Kirkland has a weak chin? He was done from the first knockdown xD.
On a serious note, that's the wrong fight to take notes from. I'm pretty sure Angulo took notes from that fight and it didn't turn out very well for him. Tried to go for the first round and failed bad.

Angulo thought he could come back from full year and do what he did with the previous bum and KO Kirkland in 1 rd. I think Kirkland was in great shape, which won him the fight. Angulo looked like he was about to pass out after the 1st rd. I honestly think Ann Wolfe deserves alot of the credit with Kirkland. She gets him in the best possible fighting condition. Their plan is to basically outwork and outlast the opponent. Hopefully Molina can box Kirkland if not it will be Lights out.

Dundee have still to be beaten in the league this term.
The more remarkable feature of their early season form, however, has been the number of passes played in matches. Dundee have still to emerge from a league match with a victory but have won plenty of admirers with their style of play.
That is something Hartley has maintained will not change under his stewardship.
"Over the years, the Scottish game has been criticised for the lack of quality and teams that don't want to play and pass the ball," said the Dundee manager, who is expected to be without captain Kevin Thomson against Thistle.
"But I think you could see in our first two league games that we want to try and pass it. We think we're good at that and have got the players to do so. We won't change our style of football for anyone."

British computer hacker Gary McKinnon will not be extradited to the United States to face trial and a possible conviction, the U.K. government has announced.
Home Secretary Theresa May said she had considered the medical evidence surrounding McKinnon, who has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, and said there was a risk he could commit suicide if sent to the United States to face prosectors there.
So high was the risk of taking his own life, May said in her address to the House of Commons today, that extradition "would be incompatible with his human rights."
McKinnon, 46, has been fighting extradition for the last 10 years. Were he to be tried and convicted, McKinnon could have faced 60 years in a U.S. prison. He has admitted to breaching American military systems in 2001, but claims he was looking for evidence of UFOs.
This is reportedly the first time that a British home secretary, whose role overseas immigration and policing in the U.K., had blocked an extradition to America under Britain's current treaty with the country.
According to BBC reporter Jane Little in Washington D.C., the groundwork for today's decision had already been laid after President Barack Obama met with British Prime Minister David Cameron in 2010 and discussed McKinnon's case. Since then U.S. policy towards McKinnon was "seen to be softening."
McKinnon's mother Janis McKinnon, who has campaigned for her son over the years, publicly thanked May for the decision. "I always knew you had the strength and courage to do the right thing," she said.
It is now up to British prosecutors to decide if McKinnon should face charges in the United Kingdom.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Asserting "America's possibilities are limitless," President Barack Obama declared on Monday that a decade of war is ending and the nation's economy is recovering as he launched into a second term before a flag-waving crowd of hundreds of thousands on the National Mall.
"My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it, so long as we seize it together," Obama said, moments after taking the oath of office on a crisp day in the nation's capital.
The president didn't dwell on any first-term accomplishments but looked to hard work ahead in a country still grappling with a sluggish economy.
"We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit," he said. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future."
Hundreds of thousands of people fanned out across the Mall, and millions more watched on television, as Obama took the oath of office to begin his second term.
Sandwiched between the bruising presidential campaign and looming fiscal fights, Monday's inaugural celebrations marked a brief respite from the partisan gridlock that has consumed the past two years.
Standing in front of the flag-bedecked Capitol, he implored Washington to find common ground over his next four years. And seeking to build on the public support that catapulted him to the White House twice, the president said the public has "the obligation to shape the debates of our time."
"Not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals," Obama said.
Looking ahead to his second-term agenda, the president said the nation must "respond to the threat of climate change" and tackle the comprehensive immigration reform that has eluded Washington for years.
"Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity," he said.
Moments earlier, Obama placed his hand on two Bibles - one used by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the other used by Abraham Lincoln - and recited the brief oath of office. Michelle Obama held the Bibles, one on top of the other, as daughters Malia and Sasha looked on.
Vice President Joe Biden was also sworn in for his second term as the nation's second in command.
Monday's oats were purely ceremonial. The Constitution stipulates that presidents begin their new term at noon on Jan. 20, and in keeping with that requirement, Obama was sworn in Sunday in a small ceremony at the White House.

I've been looking for any info about Dish/MLB season ticket for this year. Anyone hear anything?
They no longer have Extra Innings. They couldn't reach a deal with MLB.
That link is from last year, before they came back and did have the package for 07. I haven't heard what's what for 08 yet.
DISH did not have the EI package last season. Most likely will never have it. They won't pony up the money to buy into the rights with DirecTV. They said they didn't have enough subscibers to justify the cost the cost.
My understanding is: if Dish didn't cut a deal with MLB and Directv last year, they won't be able to get in on the package for a few years now.
yah, it blows. they had it for 1 year i think. For a while it looked like Dish was going to buy DirecTV. Too bad that fell through.
As a DirecTV user I was glad that merger got shot down, I am not a fan of the way DISH is run.
That said, I'm also not a fan of exclusive sports deals, but I guess that's the way it goes.

Good teams don't like to lose multiple games in a row, and that mantra is very much informing the Bruins heading into Thursday night's matchup against the Ottawa Senators. Coming off of consecutive regulation losses to the Pittsburgh Penguins and Winnipeg Jets, Patrice Bergeron says that Boston will "have to be desperate" on the road in Canada's capital. The B's clearly want to avoid consecutive losses to competition that they should be able to best, so expect a full 60-minute effort at Scotiabank Place. Check out everything Bergeron had to say in his pregame interview with Naoko Funayama in the video above.

Jan 02, 2015

After an intense training period, they will compete in a series of Olympic-style dives, including solo high diving and synchronized diving, from a variety of heights. With the help of Olympic diving medalist and commentator Troy Dumais, viewers will also get a poolside look at the courage and perseverance – as well as the twists, turns and flips – that go into turning a celebrity into an expert – or not so expert – diver.
Participating celebrities include:
JWOWW – aka Jennifer Farley, one of the eight original cast members on reality series "Jersey Shore."
BETHANY HAMILTON – professional surfer, public speaker, role model, author of the book and subject of the feature film, "Soul Surfer."

Terrell Owens – former NFL wide receiver and six-time Pro Bowl selection, who starred in his own cable reality series, "The T.O. Show," and has recurring roles on network comedy "Go On" and cable drama "Necessary Roughness."
Antonio Sabato Jr. – actor ("Melrose Place," "The Bold And The Beautiful," "General Hospital"), former model, and reality TV star ("My Antonio," "Celebrity Circus," "But Can They Sing?").

Country Superstar Paul Brandt is pleased to announce his upcoming Just As I Am Tour, taking place between May 15 and June 7, 2013, and hitting 20 cities throughout Canada.
The album Just As I Am was released on Brand-T Records in October 2012 to critical acclaim, and features a collection of well-known Gospel songs personally selected by Paul.
"This album and tour has special meaning for me; it's a journey back to my musical roots and the songs that have always inspired me," says Brandt. "The feedback we've received from the album has been phenomenal, and I look forward to performing these songs in some great venues this spring."
Just As I Am was recently named one of the top Country Albums of 2012 from iTunes Canada, in the company of Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and the Zac Brown Band.
The Just As I Am Tour will take place in a number of churches across Canada, and tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, February 12 at 10 a.m. MT via www.paulbrandt.com or www.uniteproductions.com. Special VIP packages will be available for purchase as of Friday, February 8 at 10 a.m. MT at www.paulbrandt.com.
Recorded in the former sanctuary at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, Just As I Am was produced by Brandt, Gaither Homecoming artist Gordon Mote, who will be joining Paul on the tour, and Grammy Award-winning engineer Ben Fowler. The album includes the well-known songs "I'll Fly Away", "Amazing Grace" and "Just As I Am."
Paul will also be performing on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN on Tuesday, March 12, alongside Grammy Award-winning artists Ricky Skaggs and The Whites.

Could a 73-year-old Twitter sensation become a CBS-TV star?
If the creators of the sitcom "Will & Grace" can work their magic again, it just might happen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin Halpern, the creator of the, Twitter hit , S***MyDadSays, now has a CBS option deal that would turn 28-year-old 's online record of his father's profane quips into a television comedy series.
The team behind "Will & Grace," David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, will reportedly executive produce and oversee writing for the comedy. Halpern and Patrick Schumacker will co-write and co-executive produce the Warner Bros. TV-backed project, the Reporter says.
Since August, Halpern has amassed more than 700,000 Twitter followers by posting daily doses of his 73-year-old father Sam's profanity-riddled reflections.
At first glance, the "tweets" seem like snippets from mostly innocuous, slightly off-color family conversations:
"You need to flush the toilet more than once ... No, YOU, YOU specifically need to," reads one of the tamer posts on Halpern's Twitter page, which itself has a not-so-family-friendly Internet address. "You know what, use a different toilet. This is my toilet."
But Sam's crusty comments, even on subjects as mundane as a father-son breakfast, have managed to pull in readers by the thousands:
"Don't touch the bacon, it's not done yet. You let me handle the bacon, and i'll let you handle ... what ever it is you do. I guess nothing."
In addition to an impressive Twitter audience, Sam Halpern's musings have also won the attention of social media-savvy celebrities, big name blogs, book agents and publishers.
"The Daily Show's" Rob Corddry told the Twittersphere that it is "the best thing ever." Kristen Bell, star of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," recommended that her followers read it, "unless you're allergic to laughing hysterically."
Actress Alyssa Milano, comedian George Lopez and singer/songwriter John Mayer (who himself has more than 2 million Twitter followers) also reportedly subscribe to the posts.
Halpern said he waited about a month to tell his dad, a retired doctor who grew up on a Kentucky farm, that he had thousands of fans on the Internet -- and in Hollywood.
"I really just put these online just to keep a record of them," Halpern said, adding that, as an "angsty kid" he used to keep journals of his dad's more infuriating comments.
As he grew older (and out of his tormented-teen phase), Halpern, who writes for Maxim magazine, entertained friends by posting his dad's juiciest gems on his Google chat status. Soon after he moved in with his parents earlier this summer, a friend suggested he preserve them on Twitter.
So he started choosing one winner a day to post online.
"I honestly didn't think anyone but the five people I sent it to who knew my dad would find it funny," he said. But he woke up one day to find 40,000 new followers. And then 100,000. And then 200,000. And the numbers kept climbing.
"It's super weird. It's cool," he said. "I was not expecting any of that."

How many guys get away with murder and are then celebrated as "great mentors" to young and troubled youth?
I seriously cannot talk about Ray Lewis objectively. Nope. Not a guy who is clearly an accessory to a double homicide who immediately lies to police and destroys evidence and then turns state to help them get.....wait for it....an acquittal; only to turn around and settle for millions in order to avoid the wrongful death suit.
That being said, Jon Jones may have his issues but he really needs to distance himself from that shit.
this thread made me LOL too. So much butthurt, and there will be even more when he beats Goose - AGAIN.
Maybe Greg Jackson told him to 'go get some fans', so Jones brought out Ray Lewis.
On that note, did anyone see how happy post fight Jones was that he actually got cheers instead of boos at 172... Guess it worked.
Wow, lots of great comments. Where to begin. Guess I'll start at the top.
Anyways, the purpose of the article was just to figure out why many dislike him so much. I wasn't really going for controversy or to be a jouralist or whatever. I just had an idea about it, and decided to roll with it. And to get peoples opinion on why they dislike him so much. And yes, my wording like 'greatest fighter of a generation' was a poor choice of words. Thank you for your input and advice though, it's greatly appreciated dude. If I took more time I would have probably removed things like that.
Big thanks to Cat and Fe1 for the gif's. I couldn't bother to search, but they really help illustrate the point.
And just want to thank everyone out there for their criticism, be it negative or positive. And also thanks for taking the time to read it and/or comment on it. Seems like the argument of him being 'dirty' is what gets under peoples skin the most.
ah now theres the intelligent rebuttal we've all come to expect from Jones fans. Thanks for not dissappointing.
Can't believe this has got like 612 views already, and I put it up a little over 12 hours ago. Only took me around 2 hours to type it all up, proof-read once or twice, and then I was tired and put it on.

Another little mod:
I've been a bit concerned about how vulnerable the water pump is, the Yamaha alloy skid-plate offers no protection, the pump hangs out the side... (the waterpump already has a couple of dings from rocks being thrown up by the knobbies)... Damage from dropping it in rocky terrain is also a concern....
I've got some SW crash bars on the way, I'll install them before deciding what to do about long term pump protection...
For a bit of short-term protection I've done this...
No doubt some paint will be worn off by dust/gravel/mud sitting between the pump and the rubber, but that doesn't worry me...
I've done 1 gnarly ride since doing this, the rubber is a bit scuffed so I think it is worthwhile protection for "me"... I dropped the bike a few times but it was always to the left, so the left case is a bit scuffed and missing paint... By the damage to the left I'm confident if I had fallen to the right the rubber would have helped reduce potential damage.. .
Paranoid? maybe

"Many people believe that obesity is one's own fault or the fault of one's parents or family. This work helps point out that body weight is more complicated than it's made out to be. And it is time that we move away from assigning blame in favor of developing a level of understanding that will better support efforts at both prevention and treatment. These data add credence to the concept that an infection can be a cause or contributor to obesity."
While an association between AD36 and obesity in both animals and human adults has been previously described, the particulars remain poorly understood. For example, it is not known how often or under what circumstances AD36 infects, why the virus affects people differently and whether weight gain is the result of an active infection or a lasting change in a person's metabolism.
In cell cultures, Schwimmer said, the virus infects pre-adipocytes or immature fat cells, prompting them to develop more quickly and proliferate in greater numbers than normal. "This might be the mechanism for obesity," Schwimmer said, "but more work needs to be done."

This beautiful and innovative resort features virtually all overwater bungalows, except for three two-bedroom family villas on the beachfront. It's the first in the Southern Hemisphere with a Thalasso spa, which uses deep seawater and seaweed in a long menu of therapeutic treatments. Another unique feature is the charming wedding chapel (the only resort chapel in French Polynesia) complete with a glass aisle—you can see coral and fish below—that the happy couple walks on from the door to the altar. The resort has adopted several energy-saving practices including using seawater pumped from 2,500 feet (762 meters) below to cool the air-conditioning system. The beds in each bungalow are situated right in front of floor-to-ceiling windows so you wake up with a view. Decor includes Paul Gauguin prints and Polynesian artworks. A free shuttle runs between the motu and the sister property, the InterContinental Moana Resort, at Matira Point.

The InterContinental in Bora Bora is the most beautiful hotel experience. The staff is fabulous and so accomodating. The food was wonderful, especially the fish and the amazing chocolate, chocolate fudge brownie sundae, YUM!!!! The Thalasso Spa was a dream spa. While you experience a massage you can look down and see fish swimming below you in an open glass floor. What could be more relaxing. Everything about this spa was amazing. Peacefulness and
serenity. Tranquility and calmness. Who could ask for anything better. The overwater bungalows make you feel like you are on a secluded island. I can not say enough about the whole experience at this hotel from beginning to end. Truly Paradise!

This invention is a system to increase the profitability of businesses by facilitating transactions between members of trade exchanges. Global-Cash flexible currency is a currency made up of part cash and part products or services in a ratio pre-selected by individual merchants. Global-cash flexible currency allows bartering merchants to recoup the costs of their goods in cash while keeping their asking prices down. Business trade is further facilitated by the extension of credit to traders and barterers under the Global-Cash credit scoring system. The Global-Cash credit scoring system takes into consideration the product or service offered in trade, the percent offered in trade, which is cash and the remaining percent, which is the value of the listings, and a possible host of other variables. A credit rating score is calculated and a novel way of calculating credit-worthiness is hereby disclosed.
1. A computer-implemented method of scoring a credit applicant, in order to extend a line of credit to said applicant, in a business-to-business trading community wherein the traders offer products and or services in trade, comprising:
i) establishing a product value score for said products or services, based on desirability of said products or services offered for barter, wherein said products or services are of differing value; and
ii) establishing a cash value score based on the percent of the barter offered by said applicant, which is comprised of product or service, the remainder of the trade comprising cash,
iii) inputting said product value score and said cash score value into a computer-based registry;
iv) mathematically manipulating said scores to produce a barter credit score; and
v) extending a line of credit to said applicant based on said barter credit score.
2. The method of

Information processing system organization.
The barter industry is divided into trade exchanges whereby discrete associations of business operators and professionals are brought together in communication networks in order to trade with new partners, ones that they might not have found without such networks.
Business-to-business trading and the barter industry allow for people and businesses to trade and thereby increase their total numbers of transactions while preserving vital cash flow. Barter communities offer members the possibility of trading with one another and afford their members access to new markets, markets that the barterers may not have thought to seek out. New markets and new customers are brought to the traders and the traders are able to offer their excess inventories and/or untapped capacities to perform services for trade. The benefit of barter is that transactions are made with little cash flow, if any, and excess inventory and capacity to perform services are offered in exchange for something that is needed by the business owner or professional with very little cost to the trading members.
Each trade exchange has its own policies determining how a member business or professional may trade with other members. Each trade exchange has a system of accounting for each member's monetary units due or owed, and perhaps a system of converting those units to currency. With each transaction, trade units are transferred from the buyer's account to the seller's account. This is not very different from the workings of a bank. The barter companies facilitate trading members trading in products or services only, but they also allow traders to transact their business partly in cash, if the traders agree upon the cash portion beforehand. As an example, a hotelier may want to trade for three computers at $1000 each. That hotelier offers in exchange 15 nights accommodation that are normally worth $200 per night. If the computer trader decides that this deal can only be accomplished if the hotelier pays 60% cash and 40% trade, and the hotelier agrees, then the deal will go as follows:
The $1800 cash paid for the computers is never accounted for by the barter company, only the part of the transaction that equals the room nights is accounted for by the barter accounting system. There is a need in the barter industry for a currency that is made up of part cash and part product or service. This hybrid currency will allow barterers and business-to-business traders to transact business more easily and without unnecessary negotiation regarding cash. The point of bartering is to facilitate transactions. Extra business is possible due to the existence of the trade exchanges, which offer an alternative means for their members to communicate. There are currently no barter companies that allow their members to trade in a flexible currency, which is made up of a percentage of cash and trade, determined by the individual members.
Other methods of devising a hybrid cash/trade currency system have been disclosed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,592,376, (Currency and barter exchange debit card and system, to Hodroff), describes a currency system for bartering services using a combination of cash and "Community Economic Development Scrip", a new currency based on non-cash service credits. However, the Hodroff invention is not concerned with business-to-business trading, nor does it concern for-profit traders trading with one another. This patent necessarily involves at least one non-profit institution, at least one for-profit company, and a third party who does community service work for the non-profit, in exchange for credits that may be used at the for-profit institution. There is a need for a hybrid system of currency to be used in business-to-business transactions.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,687,323 (Dual currency debit card patent to Hodroff), describes a system for keeping track of the transactions and debts of users of the Currency Exchange system described in the previous patent to Hodroff, (U.S. Pat. No. 5,592,376), but again does not address a system of keeping track of business-to-business transactions, and more important, it does not address the need in the art for a credit rating system for its members.
In the barter and business-to-business trade communities, credit is extended to the participating member in much the same manner as credit is extended to those who seek bank loans and other forms of conventional credit. (See http://www.itex.com/about/barter.asp, http://www.itex.com/about, http://www.barteritonline.com/rules of use.htm, and http://www.bigvine.com/help/newmember/mathService.jsp, as of Jun. 23, 2000. Liquid assets and the resultant ability to repay a debt are important considerations in determining whether or not credit will be extended to an applicant. While the simple ability to repay a debt is important in extending credit in the barter industry, the product or service offered is just as important. There are some traders in the barter industry who are certainly most able to repay a simple debt, but who offer a product or service in trade for which there is simply very little demand. The wheels of the barter industry turn on trade, not simply on transactions involving cash currency, and the extension of credit within the barter industry should reflect the importance of different products and services offered. There is a need in the industry for a credit rating system which takes into consideration exactly what a trader is willing to offer.
This invention allows members to trade with all other members without ever having to negotiate cash portions of individual trades. This invention allows members of barter communities and business-to-business traders to become better able to market their products and services by offering them for trade in a new environment, one where there is no need to negotiate separate cash transactions.
This invention allows users to increase sales by offering extra product or services during slower periods and allows those traders to determine how much cash they need in order to stay comfortably in business. E.g., a hotelier may decide that he needs to cover his overhead and expenses in cash, but he can take the remainder of his usual fee in trade, an amount he may use for trades at a later date, when he is free to use those credits. In the usual manner of conducting a barter transaction, or a business-to-business trade, if one trader determines that he needs a portion of the trade in cash, then he needs to negotiate that with each individual with whom he transacts trades. One of the objects of this invention, Global-Cash, is a flexible trade currency. Flexible trade currency means the percent of cash and trade that he will both accept and offer in exchanging products and/or services. That percentage can be the difference between wholesale and retail prices of the product or service. Usually, when cash and trade are involved in a barter transaction, the relative percentages are determined by the seller. In this invention, Global-Cash flexible currency is used for transactions, but the percent cash offered and accepted may be different. An attorney may determine that a 10:90 cash to trade ratio is best for him and a car dealer may use a 80:20 ratio. When that attorney barters for a $20,000 car in this situation, he will offer $2000 cash and $18,000 in services, and the barter manager will give the car dealer $16,000 cash and credit him with $4000 worth of product and/or services.
This flexible currency system, Global-Cash, is an element of a second object of this invention, a new system of extending credit to members of business-to-business trading and barter communities. Currently, trade exchanges extend credit to members based on their ability to repay a debt. There are no trade exchanges in the barter industry who extend credit to members of their networks based on the category of the products and/or services offered and the sales price of the products and/or services in relation to the member's self-selected ratio of Global-Cash flexible currency and hard currency that that member is willing to accept in trade for his products and services.
I. Hybrid Currency
Global-Cash flexible currency is an invention that allows barterers and business-to-business traders to determine how much cash they need to accept in a barter-type transaction in order stay comfortably in business. It is a hybrid currency system for individual trading members of business-to-business trading communities where each individual member selects a percentage of cash and barter that he is willing to accept in trade for his product or service, and which he is willing to offer in trade. The percentage is variable and is determined by each individual member. This solves the problem that barterers often face when negotiating transactions in barter systems where partial cash trading is allowed, but not the norm, or where partial cash transactions are simply not allowed, or where a trader does not care to have to negotiate extra details of each and every trade he makes.
In this system, a merchant chooses the mix of cash and product and/or services (his individualized Global-Cash flexible currency) that is he is willing to both accept and offer in trade.
Dealing in a 50:50 cash to trade ratio, when, e.g. a jewelry store operates with a cost of goods of 50% of the retail sales price, this merchant chooses a program of 50% Global-Cash (or more or less) and 50% standard currency. On this basis, when the merchant makes a sale in this system for $1000, his Global-Cash flexible currency account would reflect a balance of $500 cash, which he can withdraw at any time. He then withdraws the $500 cash. Now this merchant wishes to purchase a product from another member of this community, e.g. a $200 television. He uses $100 from his Global-Cash trade account (leaving $400 from the jewelry transaction) and he has to deposit $100 cash into his account with the barter company to finalize the transaction, because he had already withdrawn the $500 cash. (This merchant is dealing in a 50:50 ratio, cash to trade.) Furthermore, if the television dealer has selected an 80:20 cash to trade ratio, he will be paid $160 cash by the barter manager even though the jeweler has paid the barter manager only $100 cash for this transaction.
Each merchant has the ability to manage his account, i.e. to deposit and withdraw available cash at will. If a merchant tries to make a purchase, and does not have enough cash in his account, then he will be notified by the barter manager.
There is no requirement that a merchant chooses a percentage that is a multiple of ten, and no requirement that he choose a percentage that will allow him to cover the cost of his inventory/overhead expenses. The foregoing is simply an example to illustrate how this hybrid cash/trade currency system works.
The barter company keeps an accounting of the entire transaction. In the jewelry example above, the merchant is able to withdraw half of his sales price in cash, but he must use the remaining portion of his sales price in trade. There is no requirement regarding how he trades with his Global-Cash flexible currency, or with whom he trades. All such transactions are recorded by the barter group manager and the credits and debits of each individual trading member are kept for reference.
In this system, there must be least 2 people to trade with one another, and those making trades do not have to trade in person, they can be connected across the internet or other electronic means, including telephone or fax, or simply via the barter network.
All of the necessary accounting involved in this currency system can be done by hand or by a computer program.
II. Global-Cash Flexible Currency Credit Scoring System
There are many factors that may be considered in granting a line of credit to an applicant. In this invention, two factors are necessary, and the others listed below are ancillary. For this invention to work, the category of the product or service offered for trade must be evaluated and assigned a score, and the percent of trade that the applicant is willing to take in exchange for his product or service that is cash must be given a score. The sales price of the product is important but not essential to this invention, especially if there are other products on the market that are similar or identical to the one offered by the applicant.
The overall score a trader is given in evaluating his credit-worthiness is determined by mathematically manipulating the scores given for the type of product offered, (the product value score), and the score given for the percent cash that that trader is willing to accept, (the cash value score) as well as the scores for other possible factors, (including but not limited to a score for the total number of a trader's listings, the total cash values of those listings, the average ticket price of those listings, the percent above the lowest advertised price on the internet of those products which are identical to products offered by other vendors, the length of time the trader has been in business at the time of application, and the estimated monthly sales of the trader. The mathematical manipulations used to determine the barter score value may be simple addition, multiplication or raising values of one factor to the power of another value. For instance, if the product value score is 50 and the cash value score is 35, the barter credit score would be 85 if these are the only scores taken into consideration and they are simply added. If, however, the barter manager feels that a better indication of credit-worthiness at a given time would be determined more heavily by the product value score, he can double the product value score and add that to the cash value score. (50�2+35=135).
A person using this credit scoring system can take as few as two variables into consideration, (category of product and percent Global-Cash flexible currency), or that person can take many other variables into consideration when extending a line of credit. The example below takes seven variables into consideration. Tables 1 through 7 show numerical values assigned to the variables found to be important in extending credit to members of trade exchanges. Five points is a relatively low score and one hundred a relatively high score counting toward the total points an applicant can be assigned for a category in calculating that applicant's credit-worthiness. The exact point values given are not as important as the relative values.
The heart of the credit scoring system is the interaction between the cash value score and the product value score (i.e. the product or service offered). By offering some cash in every transaction, or a relatively high amount, (e.g. 50% cash) then the barter company can extend a higher line of credit because the cash is immediately liquid, while one night in a hotel room is not. So according to table 2, 50% cash translates to 50 points in the total calculation of creditworthiness, again, a relatively high number of points. The category of the product or service offered is equally vital to the operation of this invention. No barter company has ever offered credit based on the type of product a member/credit applicant had to offer, and one's product or service is arguably the most important thing a member has to offer a barter community.
All scores for applicants are to be kept in a registry for comparison and general record keeping. It is neither necessary to make the scores available to the applicants or the general public, nor is it necessary to keep the scores secret.
Table 1 shows the point values assigned for different types of businesses, higher numbers correlate with more desirable products and services in the barter industry. Desirability can be a function of both scarcity and of the product or service or unwillingness of the usual business owner or professional to offer that type of product or service for trade in a barter community, and how much members of a barter community desire to have this product or service offered them.
Table 2 shows the point assignments for percent cash offered in trade. Table 3 shows the point totals assigned for the number of listings a trader offers to the barter community, higher number of listings translate to a greater chance that some member of the community will be interested in something that the applicant has to offer. Table 4 shows the scores for the total value of the listings. An application is given more points for bringing more value in trade to the exchange. Table 5 shows the score given for the average ticket price of each of an applicant's listings. Table 6 shows the values given to the dollar amounts equal to the estimated total monthly sales of the product or service sold through the trade exchange. Table 7 shows the points given for the price of the listing above the lowest advertised price on the Internet for which the same item is offered. It is in the best interest of the barter community when members offer products at competitive prices. Granted, it is expected that the products offered are to be exchanged for the excess inventory of other members, but the more competitive the offering prices, the greater number of transactions a member is likely to perform. Table 8 shows the scores assigned for the number of years an applicant has already been in business. The longer a company or professional has been in business, the more likely it is that this applicant will be a valuable member of the trade community. Table 9 shows sample credit lines offered based on the total score for these hypothetical applicants.
In Table 10, all of the point values are tabulated for a number of different hypothetical applicants. Some of the point values for the columns are multiplied by a factor of two or three before being tabulated. In this example, the product value score is multiplied by a factor of three, the cash value score is multiplied by a factor of two and the average sales price above the lowest advertised price on the internet is multiplied by a factor of two. This manipulation of the scores allows for a customization of the scoring in many different ways based on the current needs of the barter company. If there is little diversity in the types of services offered, the points given for the category of service, i.e. the product value score, can be raised/multiplied by a factor greater than one. If more cash is needed in the system, then points given for cash value score can be raised. If the price structure is not competitive, then the score for the sales price can be multiplied by a greater factor. In other words, all of these values can be manipulated based on the economical needs of the system. The scoring system allows the people running the barter community, those offering credit to members, to be aggressive or conservative in each of the main credit scoring values, (product values score, cash value score and, and sales price score), as these factors have the most impact on global shopping.
A computer hardware dealer desires to enter into a barter group and apply for credit. The products he offers are new desktop and laptop personal computers. Based on the categories shown in table 1, his category is worth 75 points and therefore his product value score is 75 points. This dealer is willing to enter the barter group at a 25:75 cash to barter ratio, and according to table 2, the cash value score is 25 points on the barter credit scoring scale. He has 100 computers to offer in trade, and on table 3 that translates to 40 points (for his "number of products" score). The total value of his listings is $50,000 and that translated to (a "number of products or services offered" score of) 20 points on the credit scoring scale. The average price of each computer is $500 and that translates to (an "average sales price score" of) 25 points. His estimated monthly sales is $7000 a month and that is worth 20 ("gross monthly sales" score) points, the "percent over the lowest advertised same item on the Internet" is 10% score is worth 30 points, he has been in business for 2 years and that gives him (a "number of years in business" score of) 10 points. The total number of points is 245, (75+25+40+20+25+20+30+10=245). However, due to the needs of the system, the scorer, (the barter manager), deems that at this point in time, the product value scores should be worth 3 times their normal value, the cash value scores should be worth 2 times their normal point values, and the sales price as a percent over the lowest advertised internet price should be worth double its normal score as well. Therefore, his score is 450, (75�3+25�2+40+20+25+20+30�2+10=450) and according to table 9, that translates to a credit line of $5000.
The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

I am looking to do some device detection in PHP and I am looking into a few options. The one that looks the best right now is WURFL http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/. But I am very leery of it because of its non open source license. I am also wondering if it is even relevant because the documentation websites look kind of dated.
Other options like WURFL include http://deviceatlas.com/ and http://51degrees.mobi/ but neither of these are even close to open source.
Then there are the PHP only solutions like http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi , http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/ and http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/ but these all use some form of regex that looks ugly.
The ideal solution for me would be an open source XML file or database that I can store locally, and that can be updated as needed.
Am I dreaming? What solution do you prefer for detecting mobile users?
