To all whom it may concern UNITED STATES PATENT Drrrce.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent -No. 268,632, dated December 5, 1882.
Application filed July 21, 1882. (No model.)
Be it known that I, ELIJAH H. DANFORTH, of Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Surgical Instruments for Cleft Palaies and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and
. exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
The object ofmy invention is to make an efficient surgical clamp for drawing together and holdinga cleft palate; anditconsistsin aclamp or double needle, which will be fully understood by the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows the invention as applied.. Fig. 2 shows socket-needle section. Fig. 3 shows ratchet-needle section. Fig. 4. shows invention in perspective. Fig. 5 shows a modification. Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are enlarged views.
. Heretofore in attempting to close or unite a cleft palate the two sides or parts have been drawn together by means of one or more bent needles being put through from one part to the other, and then winding a silver thread around and across the needle in form of the figure 8 but this methodis found objectionable,
because there is no way to increase or diminish the tension or draw of the instrument, and the parts get strangled, and then there is no hope of uniting them. To overcome this objection, and toinsure a speedy and permanent cure, I make what I term a needle-clamp, which consists of the parts as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 2 shows the socket-needle, which I generally make of silver, and the socket b may be of any desired form to receive theratchet-needle, Fig. 3. The socket b has secured to it a spring-pawl, d, the end of which is bent so as to drop into the ratchet 0 when the parts are put-together, as shown in Fig. 4,.and
the parts held at any desired point. I gener-' ally make the clamp as shown in Fig. 4, but
I do not confine myself rigidly to this form; but
the clamp must he in two parts and have a ratchet and spring-pawl or its equivalent for holding the parts at any desired distance.
In the practical operation of the instrument I run one needle-point a into one side and the other needle-point a into the other side of the parts to be closed, and then bring the needles together, letting the ratchet part pass into the socket, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4., and the end of the spring cl falling into the ratchet, the
parts may be drawn together and held as desired. The edges to be grown together are cut, so that by holding them together they readilyheal. Several of these clamps have to be used in order to hold the parts, and the needles can be adjusted so as to draw the parts gradually together, and if at any time found too tight can readily be loosened, and every part favored to make a speedy and permanent cure.
In the modification as shown in Fig. 5 I dispense with needle-points a a and flatten one end of each part of the clamp, and securely fasten anchor-points c c, and these I-incline toward the center. They are anchored into the flesh on each side of the part to be healed, and drawn together and held by the springpawl and ratchet, as before. This form ofclamp is more especially adapted to close gaping wounds; but either form maybe used for this purpose.

Dual 6600GTwoes...
Now I am worried.
Ive been playing all my fave games on my new rig and have
liked the way it rendered the graphics. My old FX5700 was much more nicer when moving. My current 6600 displayed what could only be described as a ripple effect when moving which was maybe an inch in width and would travel up and down the entire lenght of the screen. This was very noticeable when sidestepping in front of a wall. I first noticed this on Doom 3 and FEAR. Tonight I am hoping to prove what I suspect. A faulty card.
Note this effect would just stop if I stood still and everything would look fine.
While downloading a new driver for something, the screen on my monitor when blank and came back on. This happened near enough every 3 seconds (but the green light on the monitor stayed on it did
turn amber. Then the picture went all blue, it was like looking at the Matrix code in blue and finally a strange effect which I thought would be best desrcribed if pictured.
I am really tempted to just try another gfx card. I have never liked this so called upgrade but the card came with the m/b so it would be easier to bite the bullet on this one.

The Shrimps looked set for a rare win at the Globe Arena but their celebrations were cut short when veteran defender Darren Purse took advantage of a mistake by goalkeeper Barry Roche to head into an empty net and earn his side a share of the spoils.
Earlier, Luke Young had given the Pilgrims the lead after three minutes before Jordan Burrow and Lewis Alessandra put Bentley's side on the verge of victory.
A frustrated Bentley said: "I'm disappointed that we couldn't hold on because I really wanted to give our fans something to shout about and we looked close to doing that after a much better second-half show. We got off to the worst possible start and we were poor in the first half.
"We had some strong words with the lads at the break. To be fair to them, they gave us a response. We were much better after the break and scored a couple of goals but once again we couldn't see it through.
"The keeper has made a rare mistake and we have been punished and that is something we have done time and time again here this season. We have to learn that if we give the other team half a chance at this level they are likely to take it."

Read Poems by
Angela Reynolds
I have never felt so much love burn in my heart
because nobody has ever lived up to your love for me
and nothing in this God-forsaken world could falter how I feel for you
I let you in on my darkest of secrets
yet instead of peering at me with disappointment
you look into my tear-filled eyes with everything I don't deserve
At my worst moments in life
you not only stood behind me, but held me up with your reassurance
your courage never fails to astound me
all the while, it never falters
you are my crutch when I'm broken
and my sunshine when life dims to darkness
what in my life have I ever done to deserve one such as you?
as I lay contently in your arms, as I did when only a fragile infant
I feel your unconditional love for me
you are my star, my shoulder, my idol, and the best friend I could have ever hoped for
though I love you with all of my being
you always seem to trump it with your own voluptuous heart
never leave me, Father
and I'll do all I can to make you proud...for eternity

Writer Gilbert King Discusses Botched Execution
Gilbert King will read from The Execution of Willie Francis: Race, Murder and the Search for Justice in the American South at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23, in the Hatfield Room in the Mark O. Hatfield Library at Willamette University. The event is free and open to the public.
King's book is a "well-wrought tale of murder, secrets, lies and state-sponsored and state-botched retribution," according to Kirkus Reviews.
The executioner's switch was thrown, but Willie Francis didn't die. Having survived his first encounter with capital punishment, Willie was soon informed that the state would try to kill him again in six days.
"Gilbert King transforms abstract arguments over Louisiana's right to re-execute a condemned youth into a profound story of flesh and blood," wrote Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking. "His impassioned portrait of the unlikely bond between Willie Francis and his undaunted lawyer is more than a heartwarming affirmation of love and humanity. It's a vitally important story, and if you want to better understand America's troubling legacy of capital punishment, read this book."
"From the first page to the last, King holds our attention with gripping and disturbing details," wrote the Library Journal, which selected the book as a Library Journal Editor's Pick.
King has written for numerous newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. He authored Woman, Child For Sale: The New Slave Trade in the 21st Century, selected by the Detroit Free Press as one of its ten notable books for 2004. He was interviewed for the award-winning documentary narrated by Danny Glover, Willie Must Die Again.
King is also a photographer whose work has appeared in many U.S. magazines, including Glamour, Jane and New York Magazine, as well as international editions of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan.

unless they come out with a Mario Galaxy 3 type system seller this will not do well. People already own some type of 3ds and aren't going to shell out $250 for the small differences found. An amazing game like X is too obscure to be a system seller. They will need a Mario exclusive to the system or else this will not have the sales they expect. There has to be a game(s) that appeal to the masses that cannot be played on regular 3ds. It has to prove it too. Like it has to push the New 3ds processing power so it's obvious why you would feel it's necessary to purchase one.
Personally, I sold my 3DSXL as soon as this was revealed because I am one of those that wants and enjoys the newest gaming device from Nintendo but I and others like me won't be enough. They need the casuals en masse to make the jump or to entice brand new 3ds owners to come in. I wish they'd announce they will come out for xmas in US but if not that's another lost opportunity. Being a Nintendo shareholder myself they aren't being run very well right now.

Austin (November 3, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor men's basketball team could not overcome red-hot long-range shooting from St. Edward's as the Cru fell to the Hilltoppers 95-69 in an exhibition game Saturday afternoon in Austin. The loss to the Division II program does not count in UMHB's win-loss record.
St. Edward's shot 60 percent from the field in the first half and went 13-23 from three-point range in building a 58-36 lead at the break. UMHB's defense tightened in the second half, but the Cru could not overcome the big halftime deficit in the loss.
UMHB out rebounded the Hilltoppers 36-31 in the game, but the Cru shot just 39 percent from the field and went 2-9 from beyond the arc. St. Edward's hot 52 percent from the field and went 19-38 from three-point range in the game.
Antoine Chaney led UMHB with 15 points and three steals. James Allen added 13 points and went 7-7 from the free-throw line. Kitrick Bell pulled down a game-high eight rebounds and Sheldon Jones and Jared Hamilton added five boards apiece.
Jeff Campbell topped five players in double figures with 16 points for St. Edward's and he hit 5-7 from three-point land. Joseph Saldana added 15 points off the bench and Chris Wacker led the Hilltoppers with seven rebounds.
The UMHB men will officially open the 2012-13 season at home on November 20th. The Cru will host Southwestern University for a 7:30 PM tip-off in the second half of a women's-men's doubleheader that night.

Price: Canadians were 'hardest-working team I've ever seen'
Feb 23, 2014, 2:30 PM EDT
It can't be easy to take the goaltender that won a gold medal for your country just four years prior and tell him to watch the majority of the Olympics from the bench, but that's what Canada head coach Mike Babcock did to Roberto Luongo. He made Carey Price the nation's starter instead and Price never gave him a reason to question that call.
Price allowed just three goals in five Olympic games to be named the tournament's best goaltender. He certainly played a big role in Canada repeating as gold medalists, but he knows that he didn't do it alone.
"That was the hardest-working team I've ever seen," Price said, per the Associated Press. "I really can't say enough about that group of defensemen and that overall team in front of me. Our work ethic was what won us this championship."
As Sidney Crosby noted, the 2014 Winter Games didn't have the same dramatic finish as the last one and that was largely in keeping with Canada's theme throughout this tournament. For the most part the Canadians weren't dramatic, just solid. They would make their fans nervous at times, but they never lost a game or even trailed in a contest.
Babcock took a collection of superstars and turned them into a defensive minded squad willing to grind it out to get a win.
"It is amazing to see the guys that have the raw talent and ability commit themselves to doing all the little things right," said two-time gold medalist and two-time Stanley Cup champion Jonathan Toews.
"We knew that's what it was going to take in this tournament to win the championship, and guys were willing to do that."
It's telling that with a roster like Canada, none of the Canadian forwards made the Olympic All-Star team and none of them finished in the top-10 in Olympic scoring. What they all are though, is gold medal winners.
In praise of Mike Babcock, who doesn't want you to be confused

This team completely took on its captains identity. Hard work, 3 zone responsibility, media imperviousness, timely plays.
- joey4id - Feb 23, 2014 at 4:04 PM
c9, just want to make sure you see this….. May not be exactly what you're looking for, but this research clearly indicates the benefits of using pseudoephedrine.
The finding was that 2.5 mg.kg(-1) bw pseudoephedrine ingested 90 min preexercise improves 1500-m running performance.
Pseudoephedrine enhances performance in 1500-m runners.
Pseudoephedrine is an over-the-counter drug to relieve nasal and sinus congestion. Although it has been suggested that pseudoephedrine could be a stimulant and ergogenic aid, pseudoephedrine was recently removed from the banned substance list by the International Olympic Committee and placed on the monitoring program (from January 2004). It was felt that evidence was lacking for an ergogenic effect, although few studies have investigated the effects of pseudoephedrine on exercise performance. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the effects of pseudoephedrine on 1500-m running performance.
In a double-blind, randomized crossover design, seven male athletes completed two 1500-m running trials on an outdoor track after having completed a familiarization trial. All trials were 7 d apart. After a 12-h overnight fast, subjects reported to the laboratory and received a standardized breakfast (energy asymptotically equal to 500 kcal 50% CHO). Subjects were given either 2.5 mg.kg(-1) bw pseudoephedrine or 2.5 mg.kg(-1) bw maltodextrins (placebo) in gelatin capsules 70 min before the start of the warm-up, which started 20 min before they ran 1500 m all-out. Pre- and postexercise blood samples were collected and analyzed for lactate and glucose concentrations, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) and carbon dioxide (PCO2), and percent oxygen saturation.
Pseudoephedrine significantly decreased time to completion of 1500-m time trials in the present study by 2.1% (from 279.65 +/- 4.36 s with placebo to 273.86 +/- 4.36 s with pseudoephedrine) with no reported side effects. No changes in the measured blood parameters were found, suggesting a central effect of pseudoephedrine rather than a metabolic effect.

Yep! Joey knows hockey. Directly from my mom's basement. Writing about Price's performance vs TBL. He faced 45 shots in a 2-1 loss.
joey4id – Nov 13, 2013 at 4:41 PM
Yeah! Big between the pipes, Was at the game last night sitting close to the net in the zone closest to the Habs bench. Not sure how it looked on TV, but from up close and behind the net he looked very very sharp. Best I've seen. Plus he has experience at the international level.

Watching Canada reminded me of a basketball team implying a 'full court press'. They were swarming like angry hornets every time the opponent got the puck. Sweden didn't have time to think.

San Antonio looks back at the Columbia Shuttle disaster
Many in San Antonio played key roles in aftermath of tragedy
Friday marked the 10th anniversary of the Shuttle Columbia disaster.
The shuttle broke up upon re-entry over the skies of Texas.
Even though the city wasn't touched directly on that day, many in the city were heavily involved in the recovery and subsequent investigation.
According to shuttle astronaut and San Antonio-native John Blaha, Columbia might have been the least likely to suffer from a structural failure.
"Because it was the first one built, it was made with more structure, so it has about 2,000 pounds more structure," Blaha said.
In the days following the tragedy, San Antonians played key roles in the recovery efforts.
Officer Robert Esquivel, with the San Antonio Police Department, gave up vacation time to help search for remains.
"A lot of pine trees. Briar brush all over the place. Sometimes I had to take the machete to get through stuff," said Esquivel.
NASA relied on cutting-edge technology developed in San Antonio to help recover security sensitive shuttle parts.
Dr. Stephen Brown of the UTSA Environmental Sciences Department was brought in to search for the parts using a then state-of-the-art GPS system.
"This is a very accurate GPS system that can tell you where you are located within just a few feet," Brown said.
Scientists at the Southwest Research Institute played a key role in determining that foam tiles coming off the external fuel tank damaged the thermal barrier on the shuttle's undercarriage, leading to the disaster.
Even though it was a disaster that didn't directly touch the city, it is one that many San Antonians will never forget.
"I wrote a diary of what I was doing those three days, and it's for my grandchildren to be able to read one day," Esquivel said.

I assume that I probably wiped the os and everything. I can't get access to the TWRP recovery now what do I do?
So I was on my TWRP recovery and I wiped Dalvik cache and all the other things that I was able to wipe while I was on the TWRP recovery and now my phone won't boot up. It is stuck on the white screen that says, "htc powered by android"
I assume that I probably wiped the os and everything.
Power button + vol down is the button combo for bootloader, not recovery. Bootloader and recovery completely different things, so its important not the confuse them.
Power + vol up will restart the phone (similar to a battery pull on phones with a use accessible battery).
Power+ vol up and vol down is not any button combination for this phone I am familiar with.
Its not clear whether the OP is having trouble accessing bootloader; or if he can access bootloader but not recovery. Again, these are 2 very different issues. You are right, in that failure to access bootloader is almost always a matter of user error in not performing the button combo correctly. If the phone is stuck on the boot splash (which is what it sounds like) the correct sequence would be:
1) Hold power + vol up until the phone reboots.
2) The moment the screen goes black, but before the boot splash screen, let go of the vol up, and press vol down
3) Do not let go of vol down until the bootloader screen appears
Failure to get into bootloader is usually because either the user started pressing vol down to late; or let go of it too early. As long as the screen comes on, bootloader is virtually always accessible.
---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------
Of course the phone won't boot. If you wiped /system, the OS is wiped.
If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't be wiping it.
Some folks like to wipe /system before they flash a new ROM for the sake of being thorough, but technically this is not necessary. Flashing a ROM always wipes /system.
But it doesn't sound like you were flashing a ROM. What were you trying to do, and why were you wiping things?
My advice would be to access bootloader as described above, then select recovery. Alternately, use adb to reboot into recovery:
adb reboot recovery
If you still can't get into recovery with either the adb command or from bootloader, its likely that recovery was somehow damaged or otherwise not accessible. Use fastboot to flash it again (boot into bootloader, select fastboot mode):
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(where "filename.img" is the actual name of the desired the recovery file with no quotes, placed in your fastboot folder on your computer)
Once recovery is working again, either restore your nandroid or flash the stock rooted or custom ROM of your choice.

As a very wise man once sang, "I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind." Knowing R. Kelly, he would have given Channing Tatum and Elton John a standing ovation had he witnessed their sleeveless sexy dancing on stage at the Revlon Concert for the Rainforest in New York. Clearly Tatum doesn't want to let his Magic Mike skills go to waste: so much squatting! So much fedora! Later in the evening, the 21 Jump Street actor performed a sensuous routine with wife and Step Up costar Jenna Dewan, but since we assume they do that every night, we're going to concentrate more on these amazing booty-dancing photos. Go for it, Elton! Living the dream!
Jennifer Hudson, James Taylor, Meryl Streep and Bill Clinton also took the stage at the event last night, which we can only assume raised $5,000,000,000 for charity. At least it would have, if we had been there…and had all our cash in ones…and Security let us stuff it in the top of Channing's tuxedo pants. If this is what it takes to save the environment (and we always knew it was), then may Elton John and Channing Tatum spasmodically gyrate forever.

Jake Tapper had the following exchange with Robert Gibbs:
TAPPER: OK. And AIPAC just issued a statement saying they're deeply disappointed by the Obama administration's choice to award a presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, and they respectfully call on the administration to firmly, fully and publicly repudiate her views on Israel and her long public record of hostility and one-sided bias against the Jewish state. Do you guys have any comment about that or any other protest you've heard from Jewish groups?
GIBBS: Well, look, Mary Robinson was the first female president of Ireland, and she is somebody whom we are honoring as a prominent crusader of women's rights in Ireland and throughout the world. There are statements that obviously that she has made that the president doesn't agree with, and that's probably true for a number of the people that the president is recognizing for their lifetime contributions.
Well, that's not very convincing, is it? The White House's own description of Mary Robinson in its announcement describes her as follows:
Mary Robinson was the first female President of Ireland (1990 – 1997) and a former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (1997 – 2002), a post that required her to end her presidency four months early. Robinson served as a prominent member of the Irish Senate prior to her election as President. She continues to bring attention to international issues as Honorary President of Oxfam International, and Chairs the Board of Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI Alliance). Since 2002 she has been President of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative, based in New York, which is an organization she founded to make human rights the compass which charts a course for globalization that is fair, just and benefits all.
Perhaps Gibbs confused her with Billie Jean King, who was identified as a "champion of gender equality."
Plainly, this is damage control — hasty and unbelievable. If Obama wanted to find another champion of gender equality, he surely could have come up with someone who was not so offensive to the Jewish community and did not have a track record — not merely "some statements" — that reflects an anti-Israel perspective. And if the Obama administration is claiming to have missed this central facet of her career, then the White House is far more incompetent than we ever suspected.

What is orchestration?
GoGrid has developed an orchestration engine that allows developers to create solutions at the click of a button and then automate deployments across multiple clouds and on-prem environments. We call this approach 1-Button Deploy™, and it's already being used to solve core business problems that proprietary Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings can't address. Technology and solutions providers can boost adoption by enabling frictionless 1-Button Deploy™ evaluations for a broad range of applications that take advantage of true cloud interoperability. And customers can use 1-Button Deploy™ to easily evaluate and adopt new technologies in single-tenant environments and avoid lock-in—or build their own automated solutions.
Designed from the start to work seamlessly across any cloud in any location, GoGrid's orchestration service can orchestrate anything with an API. For example, Cascadeo is using GoGrid's orchestration service to develop solutions that enable deployment of everything from Microsoft SharePoint to massively scalable, highly available business intelligence (BI) applications. And FoundationDB is using GoGrid's orchestration to develop 1-Button Deploy™ Drupal and SugarCRM solutions.
Why use orchestration?
Industry analysts have pointed to orchestration as a key strategic ingredient. "There's a lot missing under the hood of most cloud integrations," said 451 Research analyst Eric Hanselman. "Enterprises can't achieve a 'best execution venue' strategy unless they put their orchestration efforts into overdrive. Infrastructure automation is key."
The advantages of using an orchestration approach to computing are huge:
- Eliminates proprietary solution or single-vendor platform lock-in
- Saves money and engineering resources
- Shortens time-to-market
- Simplifies evaluations and proof of concepts (POCs)
- Creates the best POC experience without the need to purchase hardware and featuring a customized reference architecture
How does it work?
With orchestration, developers can build a solution for one cloud or any cloud on any API, eliminating wasted time and work:
- Shortens the sales cycle
- Moves prospects quickly to POCs
- Creates the best POC experience on a reference architecture tailored to customers' specific needs and requirements
- Transforms a process that used to take weeks or months into less than 10 minutes
- Provides a differentiated private-label solution
How can I get started?
Getting started with orchestration is easy. Contact us to learn more about how you can partner with GoGrid to build your own 1-Button Deploy™ solution.
Who uses orchestration?
Every sector of IT can take advantage of orchestration:
- ISVs can focus on building great technology.
- Technology and solutions providers can simplify technology rollouts and generate recurring revenue from vertical solutions.
- Application developers can easily create automated test & dev environments.
- Production users can automate disaster recovery.
- IT departments can avoid lock-in, use off-the-shelf technologies, and gain the flexibility to deploy solutions across multiple clouds and even on-prem facilities.
- Use Cases:Test, Development, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery.

Joe Cullen, et al. v. Paul Corwin, et al.
Court of Appeal, Third District (June 7, 2012)
More and more, real estate form purchase agreements have provisions which condition a prevailing party's right to attorneys' fees to a requirement that they mediate (or if they are the defendant, that they not refuse a mediation request). This case considered whether a defendant seller could recover attorneys' fees after refusing a mediation request first made after the lawsuit was filed.
Plaintiffs Joe and Marieanne Cullen purchased a vacation home from defendants Paul and Geraldine Corwin in 2002. There were some cracks in the decking on the garage roof, and a home inspector noted unspecified water damage in the ceiling. The purchase agreement was a standard real estate form, which provided that the prevailing party in any dispute was entitled to recover legal fees. However, this right was subject to a condition precedent that read "If, for any dispute…to which this paragraph applies, any party commences an action without first attempting to resolve the matter through mediation, or refuses to mediate after [the making of] a request…, then that party shall not be entitled" to recover attorney's fees.
In March of 2005 the Cullens noted water pooling on the roof, which leaked "a lot." They retained an attorney and later obtained an expert report regarding the cause of the roof leaks, and completed repairs in 2007. In September of 2009, they filed suit against the Corwins, alleging that they acted either negligently or fraudulently in failing to disclose the defective condition of the garage roof at the time of sale. Although neither side apparently discussed mediation prior to the filing of the suit by the Cullens, the Cullens' attorney requested twice in 2010 that the Corwins participate in mediation, which the Corwins refused. Their attorney subsequently indicated that this was because they were seeking to conduct discovery to allow them to bring a summary judgment motion, and that it would be a "waste of time" to mediate before the motion, but that they planned to mediate if the motion was unsuccessful.
The Corwins moved for summary judgment based on the statute of limitations. That motion was granted, and judgment was entered in their favor. Subsequently, the Corwins' motion for attorneys' fees pursuant to the provision in the purchase agreement was granted, and they were awarded $16,500 in fees. The Cullens appealed the granting of attorneys' fees based on the condition precedent that a party participate in or not refuse a request for mediation.
The Court of Appeal reversed, holding that the Corwins were not entitled to recover attorneys' fees. The Court was not persuaded by the Corwins' argument that because the Cullens filed suit before they demanded mediation, the Corwins did not have to agree to mediate when the request was made after suit was filed. The Court said the language in the provision was clear that fees could not be sought by (1) "one who commences an action without first attempting mediation or (2) one who refuses to mediate after [the making of] a request." Nothing in the second portion of that requirement indicated that a mediation request could be refused on the basis that it was first made after the action commenced. Hence, by refusing to mediate when plaintiffs made their requests, the Corwins waived their right to recover attorneys' fees if they prevailed.
The Corwins also argued that they were entitled to obtain their discovery responses and bring their motion for summary judgment prior to mediation, so that it would be a "meaningful" mediation if it took place once the parties knew where they stood in terms of the summary judgment. The Court noted that as a defensive strategy there was nothing wrong with the Corwins' denial of a mediation request, but that this did not excuse the contractual language that they assent to mediation in order to be able to recover their attorneys' fees. According to the Court, the language in the mediation provision "is designed to encourage mediation at the earliest possible time." In addition, there is a strong public policy in promoting mediation "as a favorable alternative to judicial proceedings."
In light of the language of the provision, as well as the Corwins' lack of assent to the requests for mediation, the Court held that they were not entitled to seek attorneys' fees despite being the prevailing party on the motion for summary judgment. As such, the Court reversed the order awarding fees to the Corwins.
In standard sales contracts where the prevailing party attorneys' fees provision is tied to mediation, unless the party suing seeks mediation before suing, they will not be able to collect their attorneys' fees if they win. Conversely, a defendant being sued under such a contract will not be able to collect fees if a request for mediation is made, either before or after litigation is filed, and refused by the defendant. It makes sense to agree to mediation if requested by the other side, at the very least to protect the right to attorneys' fees.

Top Halloween Candies 2011Friday, September 9th, 2011 by Jessica Prokop
The task of collecting the annual "Halloween Stash" is a tough one, we know. You want to be the best on the block – the most popular house, the one the kids change their masks and come back to, the one they talk about the next day.
We at Candy Favorites know how it feels to achieve that honor (after all, we do have access to about 3,000 kinds of candy). So we've compiled a list of our favorites to help you achieve similar glory. We invite you to share your success (or horror) stories in the comments. After all, it takes a village to hand out great Halloween candy.
Top 5 Old-School Halloween Candies
5) Penny Candy Americana Mix – Old is the new new! Not for the faint of heart, this huge array of retro candies is best for parties, giving to a whole family, or securing your own Halloween stash. It's not unnamed hard candy. It's stuff you actually forgot you loved: Mary Janes, Bit O' Honey, Necco Wafers, Atomic Fireballs, Goetz's Caramel Creams, Root Beer Barrels, Jolly Ranchers, and other old-time favorites.
4) Brach's Candy Corn – Brach's is the candy of (just about everyone's) childhood. If you're a fan of classic candy corn, there's none better. But if you're excited for something newer, tastier, or chocolate-ier, Brach's has got an array of super-sweet and more sophisticated flavors to choose from.
3) Brach's Mellowcreme Pumpkins – These squat little treats are absolutely polarizing. While some avid fans pick through their friends' Autumn Mix and hoard them, other kids will throw them at each other. Either way, you and your kids will have fun with them.
2) Palmer Pumpkin Pals – If it seems like Palmers makes a little foil-wrapped, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate treat for every holiday, sport, or event, it's true. This is one of those candies you forget that you love until you run across it again. Every kid should have some Palmer chocolates in their trick-or-treat bag! As a bonus, the foil comes in handy for wrapping up the used middles of all those Blow Pops.
1) Wax Lips, Mustaches, or Fangs – The 70s are back: Red lipstick & Bushy Mustaches are SO in this year. These classic candies are tasty, fun to play with, and surprisingly new to tons of kids. These will get you dubbed "the cool house", even if it's only by other parents.
Top 5 Not-So-Old-School Halloween Candies
5) Pop Rocks Pumpkin Patch Orange – This mix of green and orange Halloween Pop Rocks is a limited edition. Better yet, no one is expecting pop rocks when they come to your door. They'll make yours the top house on the block. They're also fun to send to school with your kid.
4) Halloween Jelly Kabobs – Jelly + Candy + Icing + A STICK??? This is simply amazing. Equivalent to giving out full-size candy bars, each of these substantial skewers features 4 jelly candies decorated with tasty icing. No grilling needed (or recommended).
3) Dark or Milk Chocolate Covered Peeps – Just because they're peeps doesn't mean they don't deserve to dress up (as PUMPKINS!) for trick-or-treating, too! There's no reason to let Peeps stay stuck in the Spring. Chocolate covered peeps make an interesting, cute, and unexpected addition to your array of Halloween treats.
2) York Peppermint Batty – An extra-special treat for all, these bat-shaped York Peppermint Patties are one of the candies most likely to be stolen by parents.
1) Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins – Reese's pumpkins are no laughing matter – especially when you get caught stealing them out of your little brother's Halloween basket. Be sure to have enough this year to satiate even
the hungriest monsters (Dad!) and freeze some for yourself.
Halloween Candy Radio InterviewSunday, October 31st, 2010 by Jessica Prokop
Halloween is the biggest holiday in the candy world. And candy is a huge part of the celebration for millions of kids and adults. That kind of attention will create rumors, misconceptions, and curiosity about anything.
No one knows more about candy than Jon Prince, the Founder of Candy Favorites. So to answer those burning Halloween candy questions, he popped in to the Warren Pierce Show on WJR Radio in Detroit.

Halloween: Candy's Favorite HolidayMonday, October 26th, 2009 by Jon Prince
Since Halloween is right around the corner, I have been focusing on blogging about the best candies to hand out on Halloween. There were the candies that my friends and I would to hoard and boast about who had more.
As great as it is to give out the popular favorites, don't forget that kids love variety. Don't be afraid to switch it up and give something out that you aren't sure kids will like, because if everyone gave out Reese's…
One thing I got most excited for as a kid—and when I say kid, I mean until I graduated high school. Yes, I trick or treated every year until college. It's not every day that you can ring a doorbell and be greeted with a costume, a smile, and free candy—were the "full size" candies. So many people give you the little fun size, and bite size which aren't bad, they just aren't special.
Even if the full size bar wasn't a candy I liked, the idea of the full size was so exciting. We'd see our friends on the street and let them know "The house with the Steelers pumpkin is giving out full size snickers!!" and those kids would run off in excitement to find the house and collect their full size candy.
The bragging at the end of the night would usually revolve around who had more full size candies. This doesn't mean you have to blow your bank account on full sizers to make the kids happy, I'm just informing. Whatever candy you may choose to give out, I'm sure the trick-or-treaters won't be disappointed. Have a happy Halloween!

The Impossible Game boiled platforming down to its barest essentials when it first came out, and was insanely, wonderfully addictive as a result. You are a square who can't stop moving. There are spikes you have to jump over, and there's a rhythm you must follow to properly survive. Jumping over those spikes is really, really hard. Hence the name. In the past three years, Fluke Dude has helped bring the game to myriad platforms, from the PSP to Xbox 360 and iOS.
Save for the browser-based demo on Fluke Dude's homepage, though, there was never a full PC version. A successful Steam Greenlight campaign last September put the The Impossible Game PC into development alongside its brand new level editor. The editor sounds pretty snazzy, letting you upload songs from your music library to create a rhythmic base for a new level and then simple tools for exporting the level to send to your friends.
Fluke Dude has yet to set a price or release date on the game. If you want an early look at The Impossible Game on PC, Joystiq will have a Tiny Stream of an early version of the game this month. Stay tuned.

Is there anything like Linux's anacron on the BSDs? It would just run any cron jobs missed because the computer was not on. Not sure if it can be configured to only kick off after the rest of the boot process has been completed though; that would avoid the "doing heavy IO at start-up" concern.

For many people in Rochester it's a tradition to go to Highland Park for the first Saturday of the Lilac Festival to watch the Lilac Parade.
Despite the cloudy skies and chilly temperatures, Highland Avenue was crowded with parade watchers.
There were big cheers at the start. Members of the Webster Police Department and West Webster Fire Department led the parade and helped usher this year's grand marshals, Joseph Hofstetter and Ted Scardino, the two firefighters who survived the Christmas Eve ambush, waved at the people cheering them on.
There were more than 2,500 participants in the parade as well as 20 marching bands and several floats. Many of the floats had a flower theme.
On Sunday we expect a lot of people to bring their mothers to Highland Park to see the lilacs. Sunday night, the big concert is Eddie Money at 7 p.m.

BohorfoUsh Y Robert 5 Sayers INVENTORS ATTORNEY DIALYSIS METHOD AND APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION add useful constituents to blood deficient in particular constituents.
' Artificial Kidneys, heart-lungs and other apparatus are currently used to replace kidneys, lungs and other body organs for temporary periods of time, for example during surgery. A thorough discussion of the present state of the artificial lung art is given by Pierce, The Membrane Lung Its Excuse, Present Status, and Promise, Vol. XXXIV, No. 5, JOURNAL OF THE MOUNT SINAI HOSPITAL 437 (Sept. 1967). US. Pat. No. 3,508,662 Miller, issued on Apr. 28, 1970, is a representative example of current development in artificial kidneys.
Currentdialytic methods of organ replacement on a temporary basis, in most cases, require large, expensive and complex apparatus and in certain instances require whole blood to be added to the patients blood supply to permit the apparatus to operate. Not only is the apparatus bulky and expensive, but in many cases, it is not available at all. For example, many people in the United States die each year because of the unavailability of artificial kidney machines to those suffering from disease or surgical procedures in which the kidney may cease functioning or need assistance on a temporary basis. An artificial kidney patient may require the use of a machine for 8 hours out of every 48 at a cost of approximately $20,000 per year, including professional medical services.
Furthermore, operation of current machines normally requires professionally trained me dical'personnel due to the complexity of the machines. In addition, because of exchange inefficiencies, some machines require large amounts of the blood to be circulated outside the body, increasing blood flow resistance and requiring pump assistance to the heart. This can introducetrau-matic forces which may produce hemolysis or other damage to the blood. Life expectancy for patients requiring use of current artificial kidneys is on the order of five years.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an improved method .one or more tubes of semipermeable material longitudinally disposed inside a larger nonpermeable tube. Dialysis takes place between the blood and an exchange fluid through the semipermeable 7 material. The
exchange fluids and semipermeable materials are selected for the particular blood constituent to be removed or added; The exchange fluid is forced through the exchange member by a pump and returned to an exchange fluid reservoir where it may be discarded or reconditioned.
The particular method of operation and design of the invention provides a more efficient, economical and available method for conditioning blood. Although it is not limited to such, it is particularly useful as an artificial kidney. It may also be used to remove harmful blood constituents, such as poisons and barbiturates, or for oxygenation of the blood, such as required during surgery or due to arteriosclerosis. The apparatus is simple, compact, portable and may be easily adapted for disposable components. Furthermore, it is less damaging to the blood than many others due to the reduced flow resistance resulting from a lower ratio of blood volume to semipermeable tubing surface area.
Other objects and advantages will be understood from the description of the preferred embodiments of the invention which follows.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the description, reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a system for dialysis of the blood according to a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. v2 is a crosssection of the dialytic exchange member of FIG. 1 taken along line 2--2 thereof;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section of a dialytic exchange member similar to FIG. 2 showing an alternate embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a cross-section of a dialytic exchange member showing a particularly significant alternate embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 5 is a, longitudinal cross-section of the dialytic exchange member of FIG. 4 taken along line 5-5 thereof.
7 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, a general description of the invention will be given. Blood is introduced from a patients body to the system through inlet connector. and control means 2. The control. means may consist of nothing more than a check valve or a hand regulated flow restricting device. Normally, no pumping device is required to assist blood flow. However, if pressure conditions dictate such assistance, it may be provided prior to entry into the dialytic exchange member 4. Exchange member 4 comprises at least one tube 6 of sermipermeable material, longitudinally disposed in an outer nonpermeable tube 8. The exchange member 4 may conform to a single longitudinal run, a Ushape as shown, a spiral configuration or any other suitable shape and may be connected in series with a plurality of such members to forma larger unit.
The blood passes through the exchange member 4 on one side of the semipermeable tubing 6, in this case, its interior. The other side of the tubing 6, the annulus surrounding tubing 6 in the illustrative case, is in contact with an exchange fluid supplied from reservoir 12 by pump 14 through suction and discharge lines 15 and 16, respectively. Of course, dialysis occurs through the semipermeable membrane of tubing 6. Although flow of blood and dialysis fluid is indicated as being in the same direction a counterflow may actually increase the efficiency of dialysis. Dialysis efficiency may also be increased by fluctuation of the pressure of the exchange fluid through any suitable manner. This action may also assist the heart in inducing flow of blood through exchange chamber 4. For example, a check valve may be provided at 2 and a pulsating pressure induced in exchange member 4 (for example, 60 cycles/min.) to compress the blood carrying member and assist blood flow in the manner of a pump. Pulsating pressure could be provided by the dialysis fluid through pump 14.
The material of tubing 6 and the exchange fluid selected depend on the constituents to be added to, or removed from, the blood. Particularly for oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal, the most satisfactory tubing material is apparently a suitable form of silicone rubber. Very thin teflon membrane has also been used satisfactorily. Plant cellulose materials may also be used.
A number of dialyzing fluids are known in the art. The term fluid as used herein, of course, includes both liquids and gases. Some highly effective dialyzing fluids may be harmful to membrane materials or hazardous to the blood. If it is desired to use such a fluid without direct membrane contact, a second exchange reservoir 13 may contain such as a secondary fluid for conditioning the primary dialysis fluid in reservoir 12. The secondary fluid may be circulated through exchange loop 18, where secondary dialysis takes place through a semipermeable membrane portion thereof.
After theblood has undergone conditioning in exchange member 4, it is returned through outlet connector and control means 3 to the patients body. An air-gas bubble trap (not shown) may be added at this point. The dialysis fluid is returned to reservoir 12 through return line 19 for reconditioning or disposal.
FIG. 3 discloses an alternate design for the dialytic exchange member. In such an embodiment the outer chamber or nonpermeable tube 28 may encase a plurality of smaller parallel semipermeable tubes 26. The
blood may be passed through the tubes 26, surrounded by a dialyzing fluid, or vice versa.
FIGS. 4 and disclose a particularly significant embodiment in which a plurality of semipermeable tubes '34, 35, 36 may be concentrically disposed within the outer chamber38 of nonpermeable material. This allowsconditioningwith a plurality of dialysis fluids. For example, a first dialysis fluid 31 may be pumped through the innermost tube 34 for removal or addition of one blood constituent while a second dialysis fluid 33 may be pumped through the annulus between tubes 35 and 36 for removal or addition of another blood constituent. For example, carbon dioxide may be removed through tubing 34 while oxygen is added through tubing 35 and 36. Blood would flow through the remaining annuli 30, 39; or another dialysis fluid could be circulated, for example, through annulus 39 as a secondary fluid for dialysis of the second dialysis fluid 33. The first and second dialysis fluids-31 and 33 might flow concurrently with the blood flow, or one or both ysis with greater ease, efficiency and flexibility and less time, resulting in reduced costs and greater availability to persons requiring such devices. Because of reduced packaging permitted by the increased efficiency of multiple and concentric tubing arrangements, the amount of blood required outside the body for dialytic action with the dialysis exchange fluid is reduced. This results in reduction of blood damage, extra blood cost, complexity and assistance required by the heart for blood flow.
The invention lends itself to use of disposable equipment, including tubing, connectors, exchange fluids, etc., eliminating the high cost of cleaning equipment. Use of disposable items will also give greater assurance of non-contaminating hygenic operation. The compact design and simplified operation of the present invention will permit a person to economically purchase a unit and operate it safely at home. The portable nature of the invention will also permit travel by persons confined in the past to areas near an available dialysis device.
Although the methods and apparatus of this invention have been described with reference to blood conditioning, it should be understood that they could easily be adapted for treatment of other fluids. It is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be limited only by the claims which follow.
What is claimed is:
1.

Cycling through the Best Jazz Albums of 2012
Undoubtedly, jazz is one of the greatest inventions for the whole history of humanity, and it's time to determine the best jazz albums of this year.
"Sleeper" by Keith Jarrett is an old live recording of the 1970s which has finally come to faithful jazz fans in 2012. Keith Jarrett's band, European quartet with Jan Garbarek on saxophone, was a real legend of the 20th century. So, it's never late to taste this edgy, tender and loose jazz stuff.
Then comes Django Bates' "Confirmation" with its exciting piano riffs, performed by Bates. In general, the album can be defined as an eccentric mixture of poignant originals and Parker classics. Perhaps, it only deserves listening for those bright Peter Bruun on bass and Petter Eldh on drums.
Michael Wollny's "Wasted & Wanted" is another amazing stuff worth to try. A skilled pianist Wollny with his bass-and-drums trio created a perfect genre hybrid which involves unusual treatments of Schubert and Mahler. It's hard to ignore his impressive funk playing, and, in general, the band's energy holds tight.
A British composer and trumpeter, Laura Jurd, along with her jazz band and a string quartet has released "Landing Ground." This technically perfect album involves quite memorable originals featuring folk as well as contemporary-classical connections.
And finally, it makes sense to listen to "All There, Ever Out" released by Alexander Hawkins Ensemble. The band used different ingredients including South African music, free-jazz, classical and Hammond-organ blues combined with Hawkins' thrilling piano riffs.
