Gas prices continued their usual September decent.
Demand is declining and many refineries are switching to the cheaper winter-blend gasoline.
The summer-blend is more expensive, because it contains additives to help it burn more efficiently during the hot summer months.

- Focus presuppositions (2007)
- This paper reviews notions related to focus and presupposition and addresses the hypothesis that focus triggers an existential presupposition. Presupposition projection behavior in certain examples appears to favor a presuppositional analysis of focus. It is argued that these examples are open to a different analysis using givenness theory. Overall, the analysis favors a weak semantics for focus not including an existential presupposition.
- New perspectives on evidentials : a view from Tibeto-Burman (2007)
- Evidentiality is a grammatical category which has source of information as its primary meaning — whether the narrator actually saw what is being described, or made inferences about it based on some evidence, or was told about it, and so on. Evidentials are a particularly salient feature of Tibeto-Burman languages. This volume features in-depth studies of evidentiality systems in six languages: Rgyalthang, a Kham Tibetan dialect, by Krisadawan Hongladarom; Yongning Na (Naxi group; believed to be closely related to Lolo-Burmese), by Liberty Lidz; Darma (Almora branch of Western Himalayish), by Christina Willis; nDrapa (Qiangic), by Satoko Shirai; Magar (Himalayish), by Karen Grunow-Hårsta, and Tabo (or Spiti), a Tibetan dialect, by Veronika Hein. Each opens new perspectives on the composition and the semantics of evidential systems, on the marking of more than one information source in one sentence, and on the grammaticalized expression of mirativity. The new insights on evidentiality and related issues from the Tibeto-Burman area are crucial for understanding evidentials in a cross-linguistic perspective.
- Çeviribilimde bilişsel yaklaşımlar : çeviribilim ve uygulamalarında çevirmen odaklı yaklaşım ve bilişsel yönelimlere bir üst bakış (2013)
- Notationsprache als gedächtnisunterstützendes Mittel beim Konsekutivdolmetschen (2013)
- The present study is about note taking techniques in consecutive translation and their application. In the beginning we analyzed in the relevant literature, consecutive interpretation among translation techniques, note taking, and the function and features of note taking in consecutive translation. Afterwards, we presented the problems that an interpreter might face in consecutive interpretation with concrete examples and provided possible methods and techniques to overcome these. Hereby, we emphasized that note taking techniques are an important feature to remember while translating and its function as a memory supporting tool. In the last section we discussed the roles of a consecutive interpreter and emphasized within this context the usage of the earlier mentioned note taking techniques (use of acronyms, signs, and symbols). Moreover we highlighted that each interpreter has to have his/her own techniques and improve these continuously.
- Ro[u:]ting the interpretation of words (2009)
- Word formation in Distributed Morphology (see Arad 2005, Marantz 2001, Embick 2008): 1. Language has atomic, non-decomposable, elements = roots. 2. Roots combine with the functional vocabulary and build larger elements. 3. Roots are category neutral. They are then categorized by combining with category defining functional heads.
- Structuring participles (2008)
- In this paper we discuss three types of adjectival participles in Greek, ending in -tos and –menos, and provide a further argument for the view that finer distinctions are necessary in the domain of participles (Kratzer 2001, Embick 2004). We further compare Greek stative participles to their German (and English) counterparts. We propose that a number of semantic as well as syntactic differences shown by these derive from differences in their respective morpho-syntactic composition.
- PP licensing in nominalizations (2008)
- In this paper we compare the distribution of PPs introducing external arguments in nominalizations with PPs introducing external arguments in the verbal domain. We show that several mismatches exist between the behavior of PPs in nominalizations and PPs in the verbal domain. This leads us to suggest that while PPs in the verbal domain are licensed by functional structure alone, within the nominal domain, PPs can also be licensed via an interplay of the encyclopaedic meaning of the root involved and the properties of the preposition itself. This second mechanism kicks in in the absence of functional structure.
- Verbs, nouns and affixation (2008)
- What explains the rich patterns of deverbal nominalization? Why do some nouns have argument structure, while others do not? We seek a solution in which properties of deverbal nouns are composed from properties of verbs, properties of nouns, and properties of the morphemes that relate them. The theory of each plus the theory of howthey combine, should give the explanation. In exploring this, we investigate properties of two theories of nominalization. In one, the verb-like properties of deverbal nouns result from verbal syntactic structure (a "structural model"). See, for example, van Hout & Roeper 1998, Fu, Roeper and Borer 1993, 2001, to appear, Alexiadou 2001, to appear). According to the structural hypothesis, some nouns contain VPs and/or verbal functional layers. In the other theory, the verbal properties of deverbal nouns result from the event structure and argument structure of the DPs that they head. By "event structure" we mean a representation of the elements and structure of a linguistic event, not a representation of the world. We refer to this view as the "event model". According to the event model hypothesis, all derived nouns are represented with the same syntactic structure, the difference lying in argument structure – which in turn is critically related to event structure, in the way sketched in Grimshaw (1990), Siloni (1997) among others. In pursuing these lines of analysis, and at least to some extent disentangling their properties, we reach the conclusion that, with respect to a core set of phenomena, the two theories are remarkably similar – specifically, they achieve success with the same problems, and must resort to the same stipulations to address the remaining issues that we discuss (although the stipulations are couched in different forms).
- Instrument subjects are agents or causers (2006)
- It has often been noticed that one syntactic argument position can be realized by elements which seem to realize different thematic roles. This is notably the case with the external argument position of verbs of change of state which licenses volitional agents, instruments or natural forces/causers, showing the generality and abstractness of the external argument relation. (1) a. John broke the window (Agent) b. The hammer broke the window (Instrument) c. The storm broke the window (Causer) In order to capture this generality, Van Valin & Wilkins (1996) and Ramchand (2003) among others have proposed that the thematic role of the external argument position is in fact underspecified. The relevant notion is that of an effector (in Van Valin & Wilkins) or of an abstract causer/initiator (in Ramchand). In this paper we argue against a total underspecification of the external argument relation. While we agree that (1b) does not instantiate an instrument theta role in subject position, we argue that a complete underspecification of the external theta-position is not feasible, but that two types of external theta roles have to be distinguished, Agents and Causers. Our arguments are based on languages where Agents and Causers show morpho-syntactic independence (section 2.1) and the behavior of instrument subjects in English, Dutch, German and Greek (section 2.2 and 3). We show that instrument subjects are either Agent or Causer like. In section (4) we give an analysis how arguments realizing these thematic notions are introduced into syntax.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California by holding that defenders of California's gay marriage ban did not have the right to appeal lower court rulings striking down the ban.
The court's 5-4 vote Wednesday leaves in place the initial trial court declaration that the ban is unconstitutional. California officials probably will rely on that ruling to allow the resumption of same-sex unions in about a month's time.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court says legally married same-sex couples should get the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples.
The court invalidated a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act Wednesday that has prevented married gay couples from receiving a range of tax, health and retirement benefits that are generally available to married people. The vote was 5-4.

Five Best Day-Drinking Spots in St. Louis
Sasha's in Demun. | RFT Photo
Sasha's on De Mun
(706 De Mun Avenue; 314-863-7274)
Sasha's park-front De Mun location is the perfect place to congregate when you want to sneak out of work and celebrate the day with a glass of wine and a cheese plate. The atmosphere is stylish but humble, featuring the requisite doses of glass block, exposed brick and handmade wine racks. The list contains more than 60 wines, all available by the bottle, glass or 1.5-ounce taste. Build a foundation from the ample selection of house-made soups, salads and sandwiches or -- go ahead, you deserve it! -- splurge on caviar and a bottle of Champagne.
The view from Cielo's rooftop. | Laura Ann Miller

You could, of course, go up in the Arch if you're seeking out a great view of the city, but you might notice a couple important things missing from your view -- specifically, our iconic landmark itself, a gentle Midwestern breeze and (most importantly for this list) a cocktail. Cielo's sprawling patio, located on the eighth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, provides the perfect setting for falling in love with the city over a daytime beverage.

Milestones of change
Jun. 09, 2014 @ 06:54 AM
Durham is marking two milestones in what is becoming the city's narrative city in the early part of the 21sts century.
Proclaiming "a new day in Southside is finally here," Mayor Bill Bell and other officials cut a ribbon to mark the completion of the project's home-ownership phase. Barely a week earlier, one of the first homeowners moved into a house on Fargo Street and illustrated a key component of the effort to resurrect what once was the thriving St. Theresa neighborhood. David Steinbrenner, a staff assistant in Duke University's Office of Postdoctoral Services, was able to purchase his home in large part because of a Duke program to make forgivable $10,000 loans to up to 10 employees to cover downpayments.
And in just a few weeks the city's incentive payments for the American Tobacco complex redevelopment will begin dropping off. On July 1, the city's annual obligation to the redevelopment drops from $919,011 to $291,325. By mid-2017, the city will no longer have any incentive obligations – and will annually be reaping considerably more in tax payments than when the complex stood as an abandoned and deteriorating relic of a once-powerful tobacco company.
The Herald-Sun's Ray Gronberg, in reporting on the sunsetting of the incentive obligations, aptly compared it to burning the mortgage, the often figurative ceremony when a homeowner finally pays off the loan on his or her home.
The city's effort to overhaul the Southside and Rolling Hills neighborhoods – bordering downtown just a few football fields south of American Tobacco – has been years in the making. It is part of many activities, some private, some public and some both, to spread the surge of new vitality in the center city out beyond its edges.
The Southside-Rolling Hills project is the sort that at times has gone awry in Durham, but the level of optimism that this will succeed, which we share, is high in large part because our recent efforts have been so successful.
No doubt there was considerable risk perceived when the city committed to the incentives without which the American Tobacco project could not have occurred, at least not with the scope and ambition that has made it a gem – and catalytic in downtown's revitalization.
That bet was made sounder, of course, by the players involved – including, crucially, Capitol Broadcasting, Duke University and Self-Help. Duke and Self-Help are important partners in the Southside-Rolling Hills development, as well as West End redevelopment that is reshaping that gateway to downtown as well.
American Tobacco and Liggett and Meyers – where the likewise abandoned buildings are now in their final phase of resurrection with the renovation of the Chesterfield Building at Duke and Main streets – shaped the growth and powered the economy of Durham in the last century.
It seems appropriate that they are, in their new incarnations, exemplifying the growth and evolving economy of the 21st. And it is gratifying to see the city ensuring their success will be replicated in other neighborhoods as well.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Senior All-American Eric Vance pounded a match-high 18 kills and Jacek Ratajczak and Tanner Nua each added 11 as No. 4 Cal State Northridge swept No. 5 USC 30-23, 34-32, 30-26 in an MPSF match Saturday at the Galen Center.
The win is the Matadors' seventh straight which surpasses the six-match win streak that opened the season. Northridge (13-2, 9-2 MPSF) also ran its winning streak over USC to a remarkable 13 straight matches, CSUN's second-longest current win streak over an MPSF opponent. The loss drops the Trojans to 11-4 overall and 8-3 in the MPSF.
Vance, who had 23 kills in the Matadors' upset of top-ranked Pepperdine on Wednesday, came back with 18 kills while hitting .455 on Saturday. The senior also added a pair of aces, four digs and one block in the win. Ratajczak added 11 kills hitting an efficient .588 with just one error in 17 swings. Nua also put down 11 kills while hitting .304. Setter Matt Stork, the current MPSF Co-Player of the Week, registered 46 assists, two kills, one ace and five digs while leading the Matadors to a .379 hitting clip. Junior libero Ali'i Keohohou led the Matador defense with a match-high 12 digs.
A Sean Dennis kill gave USC an early 2-1 lead but back-to-back kills from Vance and Nua gave Northridge the 3-2 and the Matadors never trailed again. With the score knotted 7-7, Northridge scored five of the next seven points to take a 12-9 lead following a Dennis hitting error. After the Trojans trimmed the Matador lead to 13-11, Northridge used a USC hitting error, a Gaudino solo block and a McKniff ace to open up a 16-11 cushion. The Matadors continued to lead by as many as five until Vance's attack was blocked by Dennis and Austin Zahn which pulled the Trojans within two at 20-18. Two was a close as USC would get and after Murphy Troy's attack sailed long, Northridge was back up by five at 25-20. The Matadors built the lead to seven at 29-22 before a Vance kill ended the set.
Set two saw the Trojans jump out to an 8-5 lead following a Troy kill. But an ensuing 4-0 Matador run quickly put Northridge back on top 9-8 after a Gaudino ace. Northridge continued to hold the lead until a Ratajczak service error pulled USC even at 18-18. The straight Trojan points gave USC its largest lead of the frame at 21-18. The Trojans also led 22-19 before the Matadors engineered a 5-0 run, highlighted by a McKniff kill, a McKniff-Stork block and back-to-back Vance aces, to reclaim the lead 24-22. Northridge maintained its lead and had a chance at set two at 29-28, but Theo Edwards' serve went long. The Matadors had their second set point at 30-29 following another Vance kill but a Troy kill followed by a McKniff hitting error gave USC its first set point at 31-30. The Trojans had their second set point at 32-31 but a Ratajczak kill and back-to-back hitting errors by Troy handed the Matadors set two 34-32.
USC looked to get back in the match in set three as the Trojans led by as many as three points at 14-11 and 19-16. But a Vance kill followed by a Tony Ciarelli hitting error and a McKniff-Nua block on another Ciarelli attack pulled the Matadors even at 19-19. Three more points capped a 6-0 Northridge run which gave the Matadors their largest lead of the set 22-19. A Nua kill opened up a four-point lead for Northridge at 24-20 and the Matadors led 29-26 before a Zahn service error ended the match.
Troy led the Trojans with 16 kills (.367) while Zahn posted eight kills (.467) and a match-high five blocks. Ciarelli, USC's second leading attacker, was held to six kills while hitting -.086. The Trojans wound up hitting .260 as a team.
After a highly successful two-match road trip, Northridge returns to open up a season-long seven-match homestand on Thursday, Mar. 5. The Matadors will host eighth-ranked BYU for two matches Thursday and Friday. First serve for both matches is scheduled for 7 p.m. in The Matadome.

Nepomuk-KDE and the quest for the semantic desktop
Embedded Knowledge
Nepomuk extends the tools of the semantic web to desktop applications and files. We look under the hood at this exciting technology and show you what Nepomuk is doing right now on the new KDE desktop.
The KDE community took a big leap forward with the arrival of KDE SC 4.0 in 2008. Since then, KDE has released 10 subsequent iterations and is currently at version 4.10. The new technologies included with the KDE 4 collection have matured and stabilized in the past five years. One the most promising and least understood features of the KDE 4 series is Nepomuk: the semantic desktop.
Nepomuk brings the semantic web technologies pioneered by Tim Berners-Lee and the World Wide Web Consortium to the Linux desktop. According to the KDE project, "The human mind depends a lot on context and relations. Nepomuk aims to make computers work more like the human mind." In other words, Nepomuk offers a system for associating meaning and context with an object.

Typically twelve keys are arranged for one-hand touch typing in alphanumeric data processors permit a single finger to choose either single keys or multiplicities of side-by-side keys to give enough selection for alpha processing and to arrange keys conveniently about the fingers for touch typing. Tactile feedback structural patterns including indentations and raised surface portions identify single keys and intersections of two and three keys where the finger strokes occur. By providing three key intersections a larger number of different selections of input data characters or control functions may be entered with fewer keyboard keys.

this application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/850,565 filed Apr. 11, 1986, now abandoned, which was a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/493,613 filed May 11, 1983, now abandoned, which in turn is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 06/488,692 filed Apr. 26, 2983, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,549,279 granted Oct. 22, 1985 entitled Improved Manual Data Entry in Data Processing System.
This invention relates to electronic data processing equipment and more particularly it relates to keyswitch type manual entry keyboards for both entry of data and functional control of data processing operations.
A significant bottleneck in the use of electronic computers and other data processing equipment is the human input interface equipment usually in the form of keyboards. Modern electronic data processors have outstripped the capacities of conventional keyboards by providing capability for handling literally hundreds of control functions and data characters on a single low cost chip. Also any manual input keyboard is sensitive to manual input speed and potential entry errors caused by either equipment characteristics or human error. The need for improved speed, accuracy and high data handling capacity in manual entry keyboards is evident. A further desirable feature is minimal size compatible with portable size computers, which constitute a considerable percentage of the market demand. For small keyboard panels of the prior art there is generally only room for operation by one hand, which further tends to restrict keyboard speed, accuracy and capacity.
Some prior art techniques are proposed to increase keyboard capacity for data processing applications, such as (1) the "chord" system of selection of keys either one or several at a time set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,042,777--F. C. Bequaert et al.--Aug. 16, 1977 or German Pat. No. 2924515 -- Jan. 15, 1981, (2) the use of the available keyboard keys in several different modes as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,892,958--C. C. Tung--Jul. 1, 1975 and (3) the use of counted sequential closures of keys a plurality of times to provide a larger number of selections per key as set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,202,038--S. A. Petersson--May 6, 1980 and 4,272,826--S. Deutsch--Jun. 9, 1981. However, these keyboards all tend to increase the error rate of manual input data by requiring the operator to make mental choices including those which select how many fingers and how many finger strokes are required for an entry. The same is true if a keyboard has a larger number of keys so that an operator's hands get out of register for touch operation, or must have a large reach or hand movement span encompassing a large number of keys.
It is therefore an objective of this invention to improve the manual entry data processor keyboard art by providing structure to reduce errors, improve capacity and increase speed.
This invention provides electronic keyboard switching equipment for manual data entry and control of electronic computer and data processing equipment that permits faster more accurate manual input of data. Also, high keyboard capacity is achieved in a compact size to compatibly relate to modern chip and portable sized computer requirements and thereby make available an extensive range of the available built-in data processing functions.
One significant factor in producing fast and error free manual keyswitch entry is the provision of an interacting set of elements eliminating mental choices of the operator to determine which selection to make or which set of fingers to use. If a piano player first attempts to play rapidly a new song without practice it would be difficult to play all chords without error because of the mental process in choosing the number and locations of the necessary fingers. Rather a typist sequentially using one finger at a time to enter one character at a time can rapidly type new text with a mechanical action that substantially eliminates errors. This then is the limited mode of operation provided by this invention together with other cooperating keyboard features that also result in comprehensive choice of many selections, rapid data production and few errors.
To significantly increase the key-to-signal selection efficiency, a single finger stroke may choose the individual keys one at a time plus a large number of "virtual" keys afforded by stroking two or more side-by-side keys simultaneously.
It is significant to a typist or other keyboard operator to be able to find and rest the fingers in a ready home position from which the finger reach provides access to the entire keyboard. Thus, an error reducing feature is incorporated and accented by this invention by means of producing a keyboard contour that lets the fingers feel by touch that they are in home position or on a correctly selected key when reaching out. This tactile feedback also supplements the movement of the keyswitch for each entry so that the operator knows one character is complete and another may immediately follow. This feature is characterized by tactile feedback markers to be sensed by a single finger in each entry position showing that the finger is registered in place for the entry, wherein the markers extend over a plurality of at least two side-by-side keys to encompass those entries which result from simultaneous switching of more than one keyswitch. The tactile markers comprise an ordered set of indentations, raised ridge surface portions and flat surface areas, which typically respectively identify selections for the finger position to actuate one, two or more keyswitches. To accommodate tiered row typewriter type keyboards, the tiering overlaps the keys in an adjacent row to permit a single finger stroke actuation of keys in two adjacent tiered rows.
A preferred keyboard arrangement for one hand touch type entry of alphanumeric data has twelve keys arranged in five columns of keys, which overlap to fit the length of the five fingers on a hand, and thus match a home key position with a normal natural hand posture.
Indicia entered on the keyboard permits visual reference, particularly useful for unusual or less frequently used selections. This is also important if a plurality of different live keyboard modes is available and makes the keyboard selections in different modes self-explanatory without reference to an instruction manual.
Compact size and full alphanumeric entry capacity of each entry with a single finger stroke using a single hand and as few as nine keys is achieved by use of the technique of letting a finger bridge more than one key for concurrent switching of more than one keyswitch per finger stroke, when provision is made for a mode change to select more than one live keyboard set. Direct entry of each character is provided by a single finger stroke on a live keyboard so that high data entry speed is achieved. A twelve key keyboard can provide for example from 47 to 55 separate selections for full alphanumeric capabilities and further choice of a number of functional control signals on a live keyboard. A greater number of keys further expands the number of selections possible without any change of the keyboard mode.
This invention therefore makes it possible with a compact twelve key symmetrical matrix array commonly used for telephone service to attain a full alphabetic mode of 35 characters supplementing the standard twelve choice numerical mode telephone key switch assembly. Thus, forty-seven separate tones can be used and this array is useful in telephone switching systems to replace complex PBX type switchboards.
Other features, objects and advantages of the invention will be found throughout the description, drawing and claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a sketch of a data processing system partly in block diagram with a manual entry keyboard for entering data and control signals in accordance with the provisions of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial section sketch showing keyboard profile features afforded by this invention as seen from lines 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a keyboard and display embodiment of the invention for manual entry of alphanumeric data with keyswitches laid out in a conventional typewriter keyboard pattern;
FIG. 4 is a further keyboard embodiment as shown in FIG. 1 illustrating the use of the live keyboard switches in a multiplicity of modes including numeric calculation and alphanumeric modes;
FIG. 5 is an alternative keyboard pattern embodiment with sixteen keys arranged for manual data entry by one hand;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of a twelve key keyboard embodiment with five rows of keys interlaced to fit the natural position of the fingers, thereby to reduce errors and permit comfortable data entry;
FIG. 7 is a profile sketch of the keyboard of FIG. 3 when tiered, as taken along lines 7--7, wherein keys in lower rows have portions extended to the adjacent higher level rows thereby to permit a single finger stroke to actuate simultaneously keys in two adjacent rows; and
FIG. 8 is a plan view of a twelve key symmetrical matrix keyboard layout of the type commonly used in telephone systems.
As laid out in FIG. 1, a single field 15 of twelve side-by-side manually operable keyswitches 16, 17, etc. provides both input data and operating instructions for a computer or other data processing system, preferably self contained in an appropriate housing such as a portable or desk top sized case. The pertinent data processing-keyboard relationships are shown in block diagram form and a visual display panel 18 is available for output interfacing. The keyboard is operable live with the keyboard indicia showing available functions and characters selectable. In this case a numerical calculating mode of operation permits digit by digit sequential direct entry by means of a single stroke by a single finger of an appropriate one of the decimal digit keyswitches designated 0 to 9 in the circle or oblong key fitting depressions 20 shown better by the profile view of FIG. 2. Note that the symmetry of the layout provides one hand operation by either right or left hands.
For control purposes, key 16 provides for a decimal point entry for the first occurrence in a numerical word. However, for the second such entry in a word (a non-meaningful combination) it will serve as a control function to enter the word into an appropriate register as indicated by the arrow designation. The execute (XQ) key 21 is used to execute command instruction such as for example, to change the computer mode of operation and establish a different set of entries for the live keyboard keys as more completely described in my copending application Ser. No. 459,998 filed Jan. 21, 1983 for Computer Keyboards With Few Keys Designating Hundreds of Functions.
Basically this keyboard embodiment has contiguous keys disposed in a field presenting generally a flat surface plane (22, FIG. 2). That surface is contoured by depressions 20 and by raised surface portions 23 which can be felt to aid in touch selection of keyboard entries. Thus, the field of twelve keys is operated by one hand as a typewriter using a single finger for each entry to close a keyswitch (or to concurrently close a combination of keyswitches). The depressions 20 and raised surfaces 23 thus permit the operator to feel the proper finger positions and to know when the fingers are resting in a home position or reaching to the right finger position for entries from a single keyswitch closure. A home position thus in the depressions would be as follows: thumb at 0, index finger at 4, forefinger at 5, ring finger at 6 and little finger at the decimal point.
Each depression thus relates to a single keyswitch actuable by a single finger stroke and the tactile depression markers 20 will feedback to the operator the proper finger position for entries of a single keyswitch closure. The "Virtual" keys of two or more keyswitches simultaneously closed, are also identified by tactile feedback structure. Thus, junctions of two side-by-side keys, including sin 14, π and the like, are arranged on a flat surface junction line which is felt by the operator when the finger is in place for a key stroke of this set of virtual (two simultaneous keyswitch single) keys. Similarly, the set of virtual keys for more than two simultaneous keyswitch closures by a single finger stroke are located at the raised ridges 23, which are felt by the operator to assure that the finger is properly registered.
Note that for the virtual keys a tactile feedback member is provided common to two or more keys by extending over a plurality of at least two side-by-side keys. Thus, the operator can "type" with greater accuracy and select with confidence the many key positions available from the set of twelve keyswitches.
If the number of keyswitches is 12 as for example disposed in this keyboard embodiment, as may be seen in FIG. 1, forty-seven entry selections are provided. This is achieved by providing output signals in response to actuation of either the twelve single keys independently (0-9, XQ and .) or the actuation of a plurality of keys concurrently.
In the format of FIG. 6 by offsetting columnar keys, the number of selections available from twelve keys is increased to 55. This further adds the desirable feature of conforming the five columns of the keyboard to fit the normal contour of the human hand, where the forefinger is the longest, etc. Thus, a natural home position will further prevent any errors caused by unnatural hand positions required in other keyboard configurations.
It is important for accuracy and speed in manual data entry that the individual characters be selected sequentially one at a time by choice of a single finger as indicated on box 27 (FIG. 1). Thus, two side-by-side keys such as shown for clear X (c1X) at the intersection of keys 21 and 25 are operated concurrently by a single finger stroke. All of these two concurrent key selection positions are at medium level coplanar (flat) surface finger stroke positions at the junctions where only two keys meet, in accordance with the preferred contour embodiment of FIG. 1. See the junction line 26 of keys 21 and 16 in FIG. 2, for example, where the back space/clear arrow indicia is seen in FIG. 1. Other selections such as sin, cos are evident from the twelve key field embodiment as displayed. The touch at a flat surface joint between keys is readily recognized by an operator as a feedback signal assuring that the fingers are in proper position.
Also a plurality of 3 or 4 keyswitches may be stroked concurrently by a single finger with a single stroke for an entry. These locations are identified by a raised surface rectangle ridge 23 (see FIG. 2 also). Thus, for example, divide (÷) or percentage (%) control functions are selected at three key junctions, and X2 for example is selected at a four key junction. Thereby a number of selections far in excess of the number of key switches is provided in this system. The system also affords manual data input speed and accuracy not heretofore available by means of combining the contoured keyboard and the entry of a large number of characters or functions with a single finger stroke to permit touch type data entry in a mode similar to touch typewriting. Note that the maximum reach for selecting characters away from a home finger rest position (0-4-5-6-.) is significantly reduced by the use of the technique of bridging side-by-side keys with the acting data input finger and keeping the side-by-side keys in a single compact field. This means the hand can span a much larger number of key entry positions than on a typewriter type keyboard, for example. Also note that because of the more closely spaced character positions, the contoured keyboard markers are most important in reducing the probability of error, since each class of keyswitch entry (1, 2, 3 keys, etc.) will have its own feel in terms of indentation, flat surface or raised marker ridge. A special texture may be placed at the flat surfaces if desired for more prominent differentiation from other flat keyboard areas out of register. Thus, both the movable keyswitches which must be actuated and the marker feel are feedback signals to the operator to improve the data input accuracy.
The switchboard is readily adapted to communicate with the data processor system 30 by means of a logic decoding switch selection network 31. Thus 47 different signals are derived for the various keyswitch selections on keyboard 15 of FIG. 1 and validated as proper keyswitch combinations. The signals for actuating the data processing then comprise a sequence of successive signals selected for each finger stroke (27) and coupled (32) to the data processing system 30 in proper coded form for communication. Thus, both data in the form of characters for forming data entry words (33) and control of function signals (34) are entered by a single finger in a single keystroke.
The keyboard layout may take other forms, such as the conventional two hand typewriter layout pattern having at least twenty-eight separate keys for producing the full alphabet. As seen by the keyboard notation, the flat or tiered (FIG. 7) keyboard surface has depressions 20 and raised ridge portions 23 as in the hereinbefore described contour pattern. In this embodiment, the rows of keys are interlaced to form three key intersections at the contoured positions 23. It is readily apparent that great flexibility of control for a data processing system is provided by this keyboard layout, where space is available. It has the advantage of a standard keyboard layout for two handed typing, but permits a large range of additional live keyboard functions and provides the contour tactile feedback feature.
The twelve key layout of FIG. 4 illustrates the comprehensive capabilities of the keyboard system of this invention to effectively use more of the very large number of data processing functions available on modern chips. For illustrative purposes, three different modes of operation are outlined, as may be seen best from the three separate notations on the multiple key intersections with the raised contours 23. For convenience to an operator, the three sets of indicia may be color coded, black, blue and red, for example.
The data processing system is then operated in three modes, such as an alphanumeric data processing mode, a numeric calculating mode, and other specialty modes such as adding machine (ADD) and programming (PGM) modes, as selected by appropriate commands generated from the keyswitches. In this embodiment auxiliary mode selector switches 39 are illustrated. It is seen from the keyboard notation that in the alphanumeric mode, the entire alphabet, all ten decimal digits, punctuation marks, and several command signals are available for one hand entry from the twelve keyswitches. In each mode therefore the keyboard signals are coupled to the data processing system for corresponding communication from a live keyboard, so that each stroke of a single finger will produce a valid entry.
Other keyboard formats may be desired, such as for example, the twelve key telephone type keyboard of FIG. 8 or the sixteen key version of FIG. 5. In each case, the keyboard is located in a single field and is preferably accessible by one hand leaving the other free for other purposes. By placing all the keys in a single field, a greater number of keyswitch combinations is available. Also, the keyswitch layout then can be designed for fewer mental choices by the operator, thereby decreasing error rates. Also to decrease the error rate and provide essentially mechanical entry of data even from unrehearsed copy, each entry is made in sequence by action of a single finger, as in touch typewriting. It is seen therefore that accurate, high speed data and control function entry is achieved very efficiently and comprehensively with few keys.
In FIG. 6, the keyboard assembly comprises a field of twelve keys arranged in five columns 40-44 symmetrically layed out for either left or right hand operation by a single hand. As seen from the home keys (0-4-5-6-.), the column keys are offset and interlaced. This serves two important purposes, namely it provides a larger number of virtual keys so that 55 choices are available from twelve keys and it conforms to the normal contour of the human hand to make use more comfortable and more error free to avoid errors caused by fatigue or reach from or to an unnatural position of the fingers.
As may be seen the longer forefinger is accommodated by centermost offset column 42, whereas, index and ring fingers naturally meet and rest on columnar keys 41 and 43. The thumb and little fingers being the shortest then can find a position on the columns 40, 44. To conform to the offset columns the execute key 45 spans the three centermost columns. When this keyboard is used for telephone input, the two keys 45, 46 may carry * and # notation.
FIG. 7 illustrates the key construction in profile sketch of a tiered keyboard such as the typewriter keyboard of FIG. 2, as afforded by this invention.
Thus, each key on a lower one of the tiered rows has a raised edge portion 49 thereof extending into the adjacent upper tier to permit by a single fingerstroke the virtual key selection for simultaneously closing keyswitches located in two adjacent rows or tiers.
In accordance with this invention therefore another embodiment as shown in FIG. 8 is particularly adapted for telephone use where a similar field arrangement of twelve keys is employed. Note that for special keyboards the use of nine keys can be used to provide twenty-five selections from nine keys and sixteen virtual keys, such as in telephone switchboard (PBX type) services where ten numerical digits are required plus control and switching signals. The twelve key layout with thirty-five selections shows that full alphabetic capabilities are feasible in telephone communications provided a mode change of the live keyboard functions from numeric to alphabetic mode is supplied, such as by operation of the # key.
If the system diagram of FIG. 1 is considered, it is seen that this invention provides improved telephone switching systems. For example, the keyboard switch selection device 31 may produce tones compatible with telephone line transmission in response to key selections from keyboard 15 (or that of FIG. 8). As seen from cable 49 these tones (up to forty-seven in number) are processable in the telephone system switchboard 50 which can connect in a telephone receiving station 51 (such as a computer) for handling alphanumeric data input. This keyboard assembly constitutes what is known in the art as a simple modem. Also it is seen that this invention permits a complex PBX type of switchboard used in telephone switching systems to be replaced by a simple twelve key standard telephone keyswitch assembly that produces an equivalent function that formerly required a large number of keyswitches while processing numerical data entires in a conventional way.
Having therefore advanced the state of the art, those novel features believed descriptive of the spirit and nature of the invention are set forth with particularity in the claims.

|Drug Patent
|A drug patent is assigned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and assigns exclusive legal right to the patent holder to protect the proprietary chemical formulation. The patent assigns exclusive legal right to the inventor or patent holder, and may include entities such as the drug brand name, trademark, product dosage form, ingredient formulation, or manufacturing process A patent usually expires 20 years from the date of filing, but can be variable based on many factors, including development of new formulations of the original chemical, and patent infringement litigation.
|Drug Exclusivity
|Exclusivity is the sole marketing rights granted by the FDA to a manufacturer upon the approval of a drug and may run simultaneously with a patent. Exclusivity periods can run from 180 days to seven years depending upon the circumstance of the exclusivity grant.
|A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart.
|Injectable aqueous solutions and, in certain instances, intravenous non-aqueous solutions. It should be noted that even though injectable (parenteral) products under a specific listing may be evaluated as therapeutically equivalent, there may be important differences among the products in the general category, Injectable; Injection. For example, some injectable products that are rated therapeutically equivalent are labeled for different routes of administration. In addition, some products evaluated as therapeutically equivalent may have different preservatives or no preservatives at all. Injectable products available as dry powders for reconstitution, concentrated sterile solutions for dilution, or sterile solutions ready for injection are pharmaceutical alternative drug products. They are not rated as therapeutically equivalent (AP) to each other even if these pharmaceutical alternative drug products are designed to produce the same concentration prior to injection and are similarly labeled. Consistent with accepted professional practice, it is the responsibility of the prescriber, dispenser, or individual administering the product to be familiar with a product's labeling to assure that it is given only by the route(s) of administration stated in the labeling.

It takes a lot of effort to build a home, and some would say the same thing about going green. But what about doing both at the same time? That's what one College Station woman did when she built her new home last summer.
A Midwest transplant, Heather White retired to the Brazos Valley, and also retired her big energy bills in her brand new home.
"I think the largest bill I've had has been about $50," she said. "And it's 3,850 square feet heated and cooled."
Would White have had a regular home that size, she thinks she'd be paying about $300.
It's a pocketing of money that came with a big cost up front. You see, this isn't your ordinary new home. You've got your wood and tile floors, barely any carpet.
There's spray foam insulation instead of batting.
No single paned windows...try double.
But let's dig a bit deeper...six to eight feet deeper, where wells hold water at a constant 60-65 degree temperature, easier to heat or cool.
When you're done looking down, look up to a metal roof to reflect heat, and a few dozen dozen solar panels to absorb the sun's rays.
All the amenities -- all installed to keep energy efficiency high -- added quite the pretty penny to the build cost.
"Part of the recouping of costs has to do with the duration that you're in the house, but an up front cost is going to be probably 20% more, I think," White said.
"Even a few years ago, it was obvious the price of electricity was going up all the time. That was a big motivator and thinking about what was sustainable for the lifetime of the house, because I was planning on living here forever," she added.
Forever is a long time to recoup costs. The problem at first was finding a builder. Before Sterns Construction agreed to the deal, White talked to some seven or eight companies that didn't want to do the job.
Even with Sterns in charge, a lot of the energy savers had to be brought in from other Texas cities like Austin.
"It is something that can catch on," White said. "It has to do with people first being aware that it's even available. But it's also finding a builder who's willing to use these technologies that is interested in it."
As with any major project, there's always something you'd want to change in hindsight. For White, the biggest complaint -- if you can call it big -- is with a kitchen faucet that doesn't flow as well as she'd like.
"I could probably install more solar panels, something like that, but as far as the actual house itself, I really like the house a lot," White said.
And the bills, too.
It also helps your bill when you can sell your extra power. White has a deal with BTU where any energy she has gets sent into the power provider's system.

Now, I'm not saying that everyone needs to hop on their bicycle and ride to a far off mountain range to scale some famous peaks, but seriously...where has peoples' sense of adventure gone?
I can't even tell you how many times passersby or random people at gas stations or trail heads, have told us that we must be CRAZY to do what we do.
"Don't they lock you people up?"
"I'd rather be in prison than do that."
Kind of funny that we get these comments about being locked up, when what we do is actually the complete opposite. What is that telling me about our society today? How free are we, really?
Chris and I often talk about how freeing our style of travel is and we make it one of our missions to 'Inspire Freedom', but sometimes that goes right over peoples' heads and they just think we're crazy. Although, most people are smiling when they tell us this and then they give us props, but there is still no way that they would even think about doing something remotely as crazy as us.
|Riding our bikes 400 miles just climb here! Crazy!
"Looking pretty wet out there."
"Yeah, we're just hanging out for a bit, waiting to see if it lets up, trying to find some motivation."
"Oh, I'll tell you where motivation is, it's parked right over there." As he points to his giant RV that probably costs $500 to fill the fuel tank.
I didn't even know what to say, I managed a sarcastic laugh and thought to myself, sure buddy, you will never experience Yellowstone National Park the way I did.
He walked away, got in his vehicle, never to think about the sopping wet human-powerd mountaineers he'd seen in Wyoming again.
|It's pouring rain and you two are still smiling,
how can you be wet and still happy?
We have had numerous motorcyclists tell us that they think we're burly, because they thought that riding their motorbike across a few states was hard...but we don't even have a motor!
And at the trailhead, "You rode your bikes all the way here just to go climbing??"
Yes! We did and the journey has been like nothing else I've ever experienced!
So, what did happen to sense of adventure I ask?
What happend to the Wild West, people? The pioneers of North America didn't make their way across country with the notion that is would be uneventful, shit, or even easy! They were looking for new lands and, inevitably, adventure. Of course, I know that our forefathers and mothers endured hardships that I can't even fathom, but think of their stories and the sights they saw. Nothing dull there, my friends! Think about it.
Modern comforts will be the death of the Adventurous Spirit, our ability to know the elements and the cause of our disconnect from Nature. We can't disconnect from Nature, we are Nature!
Too much planning is the murder of spontaneity. This can't happen...too much good can come to you when you open yourself up to the magic of the road or trail. So BE OPEN, let us not lose our natural curiosity to explore!
|Where with the road take you?
Dare I leave you with back to back cliche sayings, yes I will... Throw cation to the wind! Step outside of the box! Whatever it is you choose to do, make an adventure out of it. You don't even have to go far away, just go outside, appreciate the beauty of each day, talk to the animals, smell a flower, hear the wind, feel it and most importantly, please respect the Earth.
Thank you
**There is more to this story, stayed tuned to hear about how my faith in the Adventurous Spirit was renewed....

Are senior discounts a right or a privilege? This week, readers share concerns about shrinking, changing and vanishing discounts. Also, a creative reader offers her save-smart tip for cheaper meats.
Q: I went to the doughnut shop yesterday and requested the senior discount. To my surprise, they reduced it from 10 percent to 5 percent! Does each store determine its own senior discount amount?
Q: A restaurant we go to used to give a senior discount at age 55. Now they have a sign saying it is age 60. I told the manager that is not fair. He said sorry, but they couldn't afford to keep it at 55. Isn't there something that says they can't change it, since it had been 55?
A: Senior discounts are voluntary, not mandatory. Any establishment offering a senior discount is doing so to encourage future, ongoing business. But the store, restaurant, theater or other business is absorbing the loss created by the discount.
If a business is losing money or can't afford to offer the discount, the company is free to adjust the discount, age eligibility and, ultimately, whether they'll continue to offer a senior discount. In today's difficult economy, discounts help seniors save money, but the business has to sustain itself as well.
On another topic, one reader offers a great tip for saving on meats that she felt I overlooked in a previous column on meat coupons. I recommended looking for coupons for brand-name meats, as well as keeping an eye on your store's deli/meat counter for promotions.
Q: In your column about coupons for fresh meat, you forgot to men- tion that while coupons for fresh meat are scarce, the meat counter at the store will often put coupons on meat that is getting close to the sell-by date. I will buy marked-down meat items and put them in my freezer for later use if it's not something I can use right away.
Yes, meat is still the largest part of my food budget expense-wise, but at least this way I feel like I've saved what I can and we still can enjoy meat or poultry most nights.
A: I love picking up close-to-expiring meats at a discount, too. Two of my area supermarkets mark their meat down differently. One puts "peelie" coupons on the top for dollars off, depending on how close the meat is to the best-buy date.
The other reduces the price on the label. It never hurts to ask your store's meat market if there are certain days they drop the prices. Then you'll know when to stop by deals.

Dr. Mirando is an excellent chiropractor whom I credit with helping me overcome chronic back and neck problems and maintain good overall spinal health. Several years ago I developed nerve-related pain in my upper extremities which was diagnosed by my former chiropractor as being caused by several misaligned vertebrae.
Dr. Mirando made it easy to become comfortable with him and have confidence in him... He's the complete package − very personable and knowledgeable, superb technique, great listener, caring and reliable. I have been even more pleased with how generally pain-free I am remaining thanks to my regular adjustments from Dr. Mirando and his experienced, talented hands. I highly recommend him.
Michael K.
Great, as usual!
Always look forward to the great benefits of visiting Dr Mirando's office. Appreciate the ease and flexibility of scheduling appointments, relief of pain in trouble spots and overall reenergized feeling... certainly makes the hour commute worth it!
Incredibly professional atmosphere
It is always a pleasure to visit the Mirando Chiropractic clinic. Dr. Mirando and his staff are true professionals. The office staff also is very helpful in filing insurance claims. I wish that all of the doctor's offices in town were as professional and pleasant!
Claude B.
Attentive, focused, concerned about finding the solution to chronic and acute pain I have experienced. I am loyal because it works and I have a higher quality of living.
Deborah V.
I am always happy with the adjustments I receive from both Dr. Mirando and Dr. Brown. They have helped enormously with my own back and neck issues.
Recently, Dr. Mirando's adjustment of my neck after I had a tooth extraction was wonderful. He relieved all the pain that I had built up in my neck and he was able to do it without putting any pressure on my very sore jaw. Elegant!
Diane S. (licensed acupuncturist)
Always helpful and providing ways of continual improvement. Highly recommend.
Clare C.
When I walked in I had serious long-term pain including migraine headaches. Doctors Brown and Mirando developed a treatment plan which eliminated all pain, left me feeling energetic, and improved my overall health. Dr. Brown also cured a very painful dislocated shoulder. My overall health has never been better. I highly recommend this chiropractic practice.
Tom D.
I have been seeing Dr. Brown for over twenty-five years. When he moved his practice to join Dr. Dominick Mirando, I began also seeing Dr. Mirando. They are both wonderful. Chiropractic has been an essential part of my well-being, from general maintenance to helping me get through a serious illness involving Bell's Palsy. The office staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
Robin G.

Very good food. I really enjoyed it
Posted by NYFoodiein20007 on 01/26/2009
Hands down, this is the best sushi spot in DC. I moved from NY where good sushi is extremely easy to find. DC...not so much. This place has large, fresh pieces of fish and a playful selection of rolls. I've tried the others that Washingtonians have raved about (e.g., Sushi Taro, Sushi-Ko) and, quite frankly, will not be ordering/eating sushi anywhere other than Murasaki in the future. AND you can get opentable points for eating there! Very nice staff, excellent fish.
Posted by 4AK on 06/24/2008
This place is a little pricey, but is a lovely place for dinner. The food is consistently of high quality and the atmosphere is pleasant. It is a little pricey, though!
Posted by posesqueen on 09/07/2006
Okay, so I'm a college student and price is important. But when it comes to sushi, quality is most certainly an issue. This restaurant, located in Tenleytown, DC, can give you the best of both worlds. The sushi is not unbelievable, per se, but it is certainly worthwhile, and freshly prepared to order. And unlike sushi restaurants in the past, I have not once been disappointed with a meal there. The highlight of Murasaki is half price sushi--Mondays through Wednesdays, 5 pm to 7 pm. While it only happens for 2 hours a day, three days a week, my friends and I manage to stuff ourselves full of this tasty sushi for around $15 a pop. Good price, good atmosphere, great food!
