One thing that's been irritating is after painting a model I end up noticing a tiny error in the sculpt...which means I have to scrap the paint job if I want to fix the error.

 Is there another way to do this or do all programs prevent you from editing the model while a skin is applied?]]> wondercat 2012-12-16T06:15:13-00:00 Re: Changing a model while keeping the paint job http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=58739&th=12026#msg_58739 <![CDATA[Have you tried exporting the texture map and trying to see if the new texture map is similar to the old?

Thanks so much for responding! I tried, but it didn't wok.

 Out of the wok into the fire or summat like that

 As far as I know, from Sculptris, once a model has 'baked' colours, there's no going back. However it may be possible to get the model into MeshLab for adjustment and then resave the file - not something I've tried though (and not particulalry something I want to try because MeshLab doesn't like what I try to get it to do).

 I'm half expecting a Blenderhead to pop in and say bish-bash-bosh, here you go, job done.

Hundreds of millions of pounds may be diverted to peacekeeping defence operations in bid to placate backbenchers
Hundreds of millions of pounds from Britain's aid budget are expected to be diverted to peacekeeping defence operations as the government moves to build up support on the Tory benches for overseas development.
Amid deep unease among Conservative MPs at the size of the £10bn aid budget, which has increased while defence spending has been cut, David Cameron said on Wednesday that he was "very open" to the idea of pooling more resources.
Speaking in Amritsar on the final leg of his Indian trip, the prime minister said difficult decisions would have to be taken by the chancellor, George Osborne, when he outlines the government's spending review for the first year after the 2015 general election.[view whole blog post ]

How to detect if the NSA is tracking you
One must know that AT&T customers aren't the only ones apparently being tapped. "Transit" traffic originating with one ISP and destined for another is also being sniffed if it crosses AT&T's network. Ironically, because the taps are installed at the point at which that network connects to the rest of the world, the safest web surfers are AT&T subscribers visiting websites hosted on AT&T's network. Their traffic doesn't pass through the splitters.
With that in mind, here's the 27B Stroke 6 guide to detecting if your traffic is being funneled into the secret room on San Francisco's Folsom street.
If you're a Windows user, fire up an MS-DOS command prompt. Now type tracert followed by the domain name of the website, e-mail host, VoIP switch, or whatever destination you're interested in. Watch as the program spits out your route, line by line.
You are looking for traffic that is jumping from Level 3 Communications to AT&T's network in San Francisco, presumably over the OC-48 circuit that AT&T tapped on February 20th, 2003, according to the Klein docs. In the above example, mine is not routed that way. The magic string you're looking for is sffca.ip.att.net. If it's present immediately above or below a non-att.net entry, then — by Klein's allegations — your packets are being copied into room 641A, and from there, to the NSA. Of course, if Marcus, the AT&T whistleblower is correct and AT&T has installed these secret rooms all around the country, then any att.net entry in your route is a bad sign.
can we just block that certain ip?
It's called the CALEA project. It is not unique to AT&T. It also does not involve layer 3 devices that will show up in a traceroute, although the particular host mentioned might be adjacent to equipment that the AT&T whistleblower knows about. Also, they are or soon will be recording EVERYTHING for a given period of time whether they are 'watching' you or not, just in case they might want to in the future. See? The truth is actually MORE alarming. They have been doing this for close to two years now.
About the blurring… That what you have blurred is still readable. I would advise to cover it up with a grey box instead if you don't want people to know what's written there.
yeah i'm a at&t customer not by choice i prefered charter i only have att services cause of where i live there is no cable e net so i;m stuck with it and i hate it and i had a cingular phone but we all no what happen there and i'm looking to change that soon too.
People need to stop supporting AT&T. Harder said then done cause when you wave an i-Phone in front of them they will shell out the cash for one supporting the evil giant that they are. Me for one, I dont buy any AT&T products or related services. I think one by one we need to start doing this.

Jedwards International is a wholesale supplier of bulk Virgin Organic Grape Seed Oil, commonly referred to as its botanical name Vitis vinifera. Virgin organic grape seed oil is cold-pressed extracted from the seed of the grape as its name suggests. It is unrefined and filtered with a dark green color and characteristic aroma and flavor. Bulk grape seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids such as Oleic (C18:1) and Linoleic (C18:2) and has a relatively high smoke point.
Virgin Organic Grape Seed oil is widely used in cosmetic and culinary applications. In the cosmetic industry, grape seed oil is an ingredient in various skin and hair products for its emollient properties. It is applied topically to retain moisture in the skin, promote skin repair and elasticity, and treat damaged hair. Massage therapists often combine grape seed oil with other carrier oils because it is easily absorbed and smoothed over the skin. For culinary purposes, grape seed oil is used in salad dressings, baked products, and as a cooking oil. The naturally occurring high level of linoleic fatty acid makes it a preferred cooking oil for this added nutritional benefit.

I like this part.
I like this part.
Just make sure that on November 17th, anyone you Gameshared with previously, you download anything new that they have gotten, otherwise you probably won't be able to [Unless it doesn't force you to remove previous activations].
It would be much more reasonable if Sony just applied this to new activations (so lets say I only have 1 activation on my account currently, then after the 18th, I'd only be able to have 1 more; or if I only have 1 activation currently, I can get 4 more right now, and those don't expire].
I have two or three RROD which I couldnt De-activate and cus I didnt go whining to $ony they didnt believe me and wouldnt deactivate them, well now I can do it by PC that is a good thing.
At the end of the day we are lucky we can do it with two and that PSN is free to an extent UNLIKE SOME WE COULD MENTION, i dont really think anything is wrong with this.
Thanks a lot $ony, convincing me that Jailbraking is the future for PS3 I own 3 consoles and have always purchased the map packs once and downloaded them onto my consoles, then when my mates come over we can all play together in my games room but I'm certainly not paying £35.00+ for each COD Map Pack plus the (£120.00 I already paid for the game, 3 copy's of COD 4, 5, 6, 7 and soon to be MW3...
Fingers Crossed, Sony DON'T MAKE THIS MOVE... Otherwise prepare to loose $$$ NOT ACTUALLY GAIN ANYTHING FROM ME!
Such a sad day in the PlayStation World...
They did indeed:
And yet again this makes me appreciate my preference of buying disc based games over digital downloaded games anyday.
This is just an attempt to get people purchasing more stuff off the PSN store. They know many people share accounts so they can also download a DLC or a game without having to pay for it. This is also similar to what is happening with the online passes where you have to go and buy a separate pass to play online if the game is second hand.
Sony just want people buying more games to make more money, I'm okay with that but not when they do stuff like this. This is why more people pirate games instead of buying them.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 846,510, filed Mar. 28, 1986, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,998,888 issued Mar. 12, 1991, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 633,374, filed July 23, 1984 (now abandoned), which is a continuation of Ser. No. 282,183, filed May 27, 1981 (now abandoned).
The present invention pertains to integrated circuits and the packages therefore and more particularly to a package for housing a battery to sustain data states in volatile semiconductor memories.
There are many applications involving integrated circuits and in particular integrated circuit memories in which it is desirable to maintain power to the circuit at all times to sustain data states which are stored in the circuit. When power is removed from the circuit critical parameters are often lost due to the volatile memory. In many applications it is necessary to reload these parameters before operations can be continued.
It would thus be advantageous to have an integrated circuit package, particularly for a semiconductor memory, which has structure for inclusion of a battery or batteries so that the data states can be maintained in the memory even if the normal source of power is terminated.
In its most general form the present invention comprises apparatus for use in conjunction with an integrated circuit. The apparatus includes a package which houses the integrated circuit. A structure is provided for securing at least one battery to the integrated circuit package. Electrical conductors are positioned to extend from the structure securing the batteries to the integrated circuit within the package.
In a more detailed embodiment of the present invention the structure for securing the batteries includes one or more recesses in a surface thereof with each recess adapted for receiving a battery. A member is provided for connection to the structure to extend above the recesses for holding a battery in each of the recesses. A common battery contact is provided on this member for connection to a common terminal of each of the batteries. The common contact extends from the batteries through the lead frame to the integrated circuit. A separate power contact is provided for each of the recesses for connecting the battery therein to the integrated circuit. Therefore, with a plurality of batteries housed in conjunction with the integrated circuit the reliability of the data storage in the circuit is enhanced and the time period for storage of the data is extended. The batteries may be connected in parallel or in series.
The present invention also comprises a method of constructing an apparatus for use in conjunction with an integrated circuit. The method includes the steps of mounting an integrated circuit in a package, securing a battery to the package and electrically interconnecting the integrated circuit and the battery.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a structure for housing a plurality of batteries which are connected to an integrated circuit within an adjacent package and the batteries;
FIG. 1A is a detail of an alternate end for the spring clips used in the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial cross-section elevation view of the integrated circuit package and the structure for receiving batteries;
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-section plan view of the structure illustrated in FIG. 2 with the batteries and upper clip removed therefrom to better illustrate the underlying structure; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a lead frame for use in the integrated circuit package.
A first embodiment of the present invention is illustrated generally by the reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1. The apparatus 10 includes a rectangular structure 12 which is generally disposed above a dual in-line integrated circuit package 14. The package 14 includes an integrated circuit which communicates with external components through lead frame 16 having leads forming pins and tabs. The lead frame 16 described hereinafter and illustrated in the figures has 24 pins and 3 tabs provided for communication with the integrated circuit. However, the number of leads may vary with the application in which the integrated circuit is to be used.
Recesses 20 and 22 are formed in the upper surface of the structure 12. These recesses are shaped to receive batteries 24 and 26.
Each recess 20 and 22 includes a bottom portion 28 and 30, respectively. The underside of each battery 24 and 26 rests on the bottom portion 28 and 30 as best shown in FIG. 2. Each bottom portion includes an elongate notch 32 or 34 which extends below the plane of the bottom portion. The notch 32 includes arms 36 at the outer portion thereof which include an arcuate portion as best seen in FIG. 3. Notch 34 similarly includes arms 38. Inclined notches 40 and 42 are also formed in the bottom portions. The notches are inclined upwardly towards the center of the bottom portions.
A central dividing member 44 extends upward between the bottom portions. Wall end members 46 and 48 extend upwardly from opposed corners of the structure 12. Lip end members 50 and 52 extend upwardly at the opposite opposed corners of structure 12.
Central dividing member 44 and wall end member 46 define a semi-circular wall 54 surrounding the bottom portion 28. The wall portion is broken by a slot 56 formed between the members 44 and 46. A similar semi-circular wall portion 58 is defined by the members 44 and 48. The portion 48 is broken by slot 60.
The central dividing member 44 includes an extension 62 which defines a semi-circular lip 64 with the lip end member 50. The lip is broken by a slot 66 between the extension 62 and member 50. A similar extension 68 defines lip 70 between the extension and member 52. A slot 72 interrupts the lip between the extension and member.
Bottom spring clips 74 and 76 are positioned within the notches 32 and 34, respectively. Each of the clips 74 and 76 is identical. Therefore, only clip 76 will be described in detail. The clip 76 is formed of a resilient conductor material. The clip includes a battery contact portion 78 having one or more point contacts 80 thereon. The point contacts are designed to provide enhanced ohmic contact with the lower terminal of the battery, i.e. lessen contact resistance.
The clip 76 also includes a fastener portion 82. The fastener portion 82 includes tabs 84, an outwardly extending horizontal piece 86, a downwardly extending vertical piece 88, and an inwardly extending horizontal piece 90. The free end of piece 90 includes an up-turned end 92.
The clips 74 and 76 are mounted in the structure 12 as shown in FIGS. 1-3. The battery contact portion 78 of the clips extend along the notches 32 and 34 with the point contacts 80 centered within the bottom portions. The tabs 84 of clips 74 and 76 extend into the arms 36 and 38, respectively. The pieces 86 extend through slots 94 and 96 in structure 12 and the pieces 88 and 90 extend downwardly and inwardly into contact with individual leads on lead frame 16. The pieces 90 extend inwardly below the package 14 and the ends 92 are preferably received within notches 91 formed in the bottom of the package 14.
It is apparent that the configuration of the clips 74 and 76 will maintain the clips secured to the apparatus 10. The clips are designed so that the point contacts 80 extend above the plane defined by the bottom portions 28 and 30 when nondeformed. A camber 93 in the battery contact portions 78 along the line of contacts 80 insure the contacts project furthest above the bottom portions. In the preferred embodiment, the fastener portions 82 of the clips are also soldered to the lead frame to prevent removal of the clips and insure a positive electrical connection.
A top spring clip 100 is provided. The spring clip includes battery contact portions 102 and 104 and fastener portions 106 and 108. The clip 100 is preferably formed from an integral piece of a flexible, conductive material.
The battery contact portions 102 and 104 include a common center 110 and each include a downwardly inclined piece 112 and a horizontal piece 114. The fastener portions 106 and 108 include outwardly extending horizontal pieces 116, vertically downward extending pieces 118 and inwardly extending horizontal pieces 119 terminating in upwardly curved ends 120.
The top spring clip 100 extends over the structure 12 and the pieces 118 and 119 of the fastening portions and ends 120 retain the clip secured to structure 12. Again, recesses 117 may be provided in the package 14 to accept ends 120. An alternate end 120A shown in FIG. 1A may be substituted for pieces 90 and 119 and ends 92 and 120. The end 120A includes a curved portion of constant radius. Portions of pieces 118 and 119 of each fastener portion 106 and 108 are in physical and electrical contact with leads on lead frame 16. In the preferred embodiment, the fastener portions are soldered to the frame to prevent disengagement of the clip and insure electrical contact.
In operation, the batteries 24 and 26 may be inserted within the apparatus 10 by sliding the batteries over the extensions 62 and 68 and lip end members 50 and 52 for their respective recesses. The placement of the batteries may be determined by a positive sign or language stamped on apparatus 10 as shown. The batteries are tilted to deflect the battery contact portions of the top spring clip upward and the battery contact portions of the bottom spring clips downwardly into their respective notches to permit the batteries to be seated within the recesses.
Once positioned as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the batteries are confined within the recesses by the lips 64 and 70, wall portions 54 and 58 and the battery contact portions of the bottom and top spring clips. The top spring clip 100 is designed to exert a downward force on the batteries through the battery contact portions 102 and 104 exceeding the upward force of the battery contact portions 78 of the bottom spring clips. The excess force is designed to retain the batteries in contact with the bottom portions during the worst shock loading for which the apparatus 10 is designed.
The force exerted by the battery contact portions 78 of the bottom spring clips is sufficient to insure adequate electrical contact between the point contacts 80 and the lower terminal of the batteries. The force exerted by the battery contact portions 102 and 104 of the top spring clip also provide electrical contact between the top spring clip and the upper terminal of the batteries. It is clear from FIGS. 1 and 3 that the upper terminals of the batteries are common and may be connected through the top spring clip 100 to the integrated circuit and one or more pins 18. The lower terminal of each battery may be connected to individual or common leads on lead frame 16 leading to the integrated circuit.
In a typical application, an integrated circuit static memory will be included in the package 14. The integrated circuit is utilized in such a manner that it is necessary to retain the data states stored in the memory even if power if lost to the memory. The batteries 24 and 26 may be connected in parallel through circuitry (not shown) which automatically connects the integrated circuit within package 14 to either one or both of the batteries upon detection of loss of external power. Two batteries in parallel are utilized to improve reliability and to extend the length of time that the data can be stored. The interfacing circuitry between the batteries and the integrated circuit is designed to switch between the best of the two batteries and thereby provide the maximum possible data retention time. This circuitry is described in greater detail in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 282,179 filed Mar. 27, 1981, now abandoned and assigned to the assignee of the present application which is hereby incorporated by reference, the application being further identified by Mostek Corporation patent file B-3846 and Richards, Harris and Medlock file B-13,996PCT. A corresponding continuation application has issued into U.S. Pat. No. 4,451,742. The batteries may be connected in series if a high voltage source is needed for a particular application.
If one of the batteries fails, it may be removed independently of the other battery. A thin non-conductive implement may be guided into contact with the battery to be removed through its associated inclined notch 40 or 42. A non-conductive implement is preferred to eliminate the potential for shorting the other battery or damaging the integrated circuit. Urging the implement into contact with the battery tilts the portion of the battery adjacent to the lip upward to permit its removal. If difficulty is encountered, an implement may be inserted through the slot 56 or 60 adjacent to the battery to push the battery from the recess.
The present invention provides several additional significant advantages. The batteries may be inserted or replaced in the apparatus 10 without removal of the apparatus from a printed circuit board or socket. Each of the batteries may be inserted or removed independently of the other battery so that the integrated circuit may be maintained in an active state continuously. The spring clips are securely, if not permanently, secured to the apparatus 10 which prevents loss of the clips during battery insertion or removal. The top spring clip 100 is the only spring exposed to operator induced stresses. The stress on the bottom spring clips does not exceed the stress necessary to urge the clips downward to permit the insertion of the batteries. Therefore, the provision of the stronger spring in the top spring clip reduces the potential for spring overstress. One or more of the spring clips may be connected to pins leading to externals. The externals may provide a trickle charge to retain the batteries in a charged state.
A suggested battery for use in this application is a Model CR-1220 lithium battery manufactured by Sanyo Electric Trading Co., Ltd. of Osaka, Japan. This battery produces a nominal 3.0 volts, has a capacity of 30 mah, a diameter of 12.5 millimeters, a thickness of 2.0 millimeters, a weight of 0.8 grams and can function over the temperature range of -20° C. to +50° C.
In one apparatus constructed from the teaching of the present invention, the apparatus was adapted to receive batteries having a thickness of approximately 78 millimeters. In the constructed apparatus, lips 64 and 70 were designed to have a vertical height of 40 to 50 millimeters and the wall portions 54 and 58 a vertical height of 90 millimeters. The downward force exerted on the battery by the top spring clip 100 in the constructed apparatus was designed to be 1500 grams and the upward spring force exerted by the bottom spring clip on the batteries was designed to be 250 grams, a ratio of 6 to 1. The clips in this constructed apparatus were constructed of berylium copper. This material is designed to retain resiliency across the full semi-conductor temperature range. Phosphor bronze may also be employed as the spring clip material in lower temperature applications.
The detail of lead frame 16 is illustrated in FIG. 4. The lead frame 16 is formed in several stages. The first stage comprises the stamping of the shape shown in FIG. 4 in a conductive material. The body, comprising structure 12 and package 14 may then be molded about the lead frame 16 and CMOS 132. The outside limit of the body is shown by dotted line 133. The body is commonly formed of a plastic. In subsequent steps, the rail 120 is removed and the tie bars 124 and 126 are separated between each pin 128 and tab 130 to form independent leads to the integrated circuit, in this example a CMOS 132. Portions of the pins 128 and tabs 130 extend exterior of the plastic body forming the structure and package.
Twenty four individual pins 128 are provided on the frame 16 for contact with externals. The pins are numbered by convention from 1 to 24 beginning at the lower left pin in FIG. 4 and proceding counterclockwise about the frame. Four tabs 130 are provided and are identified by letters A-D. Each pin and tab contacts terminals in CMOS 132 through small wires 134 bonded between the pins and tabs and contact pads 136 on CMOS 132.
Pin 12 and tab A form one conductor which acts as a common. One end of top spring clip 100 may be in contact with tab A. The opposite end of clip 100 may be secured to tab C, which has no electrical connection to the integrated circuit but aids in the retention of the clip 100 on the apparatus 10. If the batteries are positioned with their negative terminals in contact with top spring clip 100, the common will be the negative terminal. Two wires 134 are employed for connection to CMOS 132 as the current flow at this location may be large.
Tabs B and D are positioned for contact with bottom spring clips 74 and 76. Power for operating CMOS 132 from an external source will be connected to pin 24. A diode 138 is provided to permit external power to flow to the CMOS 132 while blocking flow to the batteries. If the external power is lost, the diode permits energy to flow from the batteries to power the CMOS 132. With diode 138, the batteries cannot be charged by an external power source. However, the design of a circuit permitting the charging of the batteries would be obvious to one skilled in the art.
While apparatus 10 forms one embodiment of the present invention, it will be understood that the shape of the apparatus is related closely to the shape and type of battery employed. For example, the Model BR435 battery manufactured and sold by Matsushita Electric Industrial Company, Ltd. of Japan has an overall tubular shape with the negative terminal formed by a pin extending from one end of the tubular portion and the positive terminal formed by an annular ring adjacent the pin. The apparatus 10 would be modified to accept the tubular shape and clips 74, 76 and 100 modified to contact the terminals and secure the batteries in place in the apparatus.
It will also be understood that the clips may extend to any portion of the apparatus desired. For example, the clips may extend on the side of apparatus 10 to contact one or more pins 128 in the lead frame 16. In addition structure 12 may be secured or mounted to package 14 in any suitable manner.
In summary the present invention comprises an apparatus to house one or more batteries in conjunction with a packaged integrated circuit. The batteries in the housing are connected such that data stored in the integrated circuit is retained for an extended period of time without external power or the operation of the integrated circuit can continue for an extended period of time without external power.
Although a single embodiment of the invention has been illustrated in the accompanying Drawings and described in the foregoing Detailed Description, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed, but is capable of numerous rearrangements, modifications and substitutions without departing from the scope of the invention.

Very good. easy to take. The copper seems to have darkened my greying eyebrows and hair. (quite a bonus at my age 69)
Amazing how quickly it worked!
Posted by Reviewer1348336 on Sep 04, 2008
I notice my acne healed right away when I took this zinc formula. I love it!
great combo
Posted by Reviewer1907961 on Jun 19, 2008
This has the zinc-copper balance you need. You don't want to be taking a lot of zinc without the complementary amount of copper--otherwise it throws off your mineral balance. This supplement solves the problem so you can use it to supplement your vitamins, etc. when you need extra zinc. Price is good too.
Synthetic methionine
Posted by Reviewer1884425 on Aug 20, 2011
I just realized that synthetic methionine is used with OptiZinc. However, L-OptiZinc uses natural methionine, but Jarrow Formulas chose mediocrity... big mistake.
Added benifet !

Very good.....

I use this prt for acne, and this work very fast. I like it :)
Perfect amount of zinc
Posted by Reviewer1139510 on Oct 22, 2008
I like to take only 15Mg of zinc when I need a little extra, not 30Mg like most other companies sell. It also contains some copper to keep those levels from dropping.
Zinc Balance

Good for Adrenal Function & colds
Zinc Deficient Dog
Posted by Reviewer2569979 on Dec 16, 2007
My husky has a zinc deficiency, common among northern breeds, and this supplement works to clear up the skin issues he had related to his ZRD. We're happy with the effectiveness and the price.
Posted by Reviewer2570916 on Apr 04, 2008
this is a wonderful Zinc due to the fact that it has some copper in it, and no other "filler" ingredients. I would order it again!

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

CFTC Is Next Agency To Consider Regulating Algorithmic TradingPosted in Commodities, Financial Services
In a speech last week before the Global Exchange and Brokerage Conference, CFTC Chairman Massad outlined a potential new area of focus for the CFTC – regulation of futures traders that use algorithmic and other automatic trading strategies. Chairman Massad's announcement follows the SEC's recent proposal to revise SEC Rule 15b9-1, which would require high-frequency trading firms that fall into the SEC's broad definition of "broker-dealer" to register with FINRA.
Supreme Court Declines to Hear Trek Leather Appeal Upholding Corporate Officers Personal Liability for Customs Non-CompliancePosted in Trade
Last week the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's September 2014 ruling holding the president of Trek Leather Inc. personally responsible for penalties related to violations of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) laws.
The high court declined to grant Trek President Harish Shadadpuri's petition for a writ of certiorari on the en banc (i.e., the full court instead of the typical three-judge panel) decision which unanimously backed CBP's decision to hold Shadadpuri personally and individually liable for penalties stemming from the presentation of false documentation related to imports of men's suits in 2004.
Shadadpuri argued in his petition that the en banc panel misread a U.S. customs law because the decision effectively nullified the portion of the statute that creates liability for those who aid and abet customs fraud. This misreading dramatically expands the list of individuals U.S. Customs and Border Protection may pursue for penalties. Continue Reading
Canada and Mexico Prepare to Initiate Retaliatory Tariffs over Meat Labeling RequirementsPosted in Commodities, Trade
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's country of origin labeling (COOL) regulations, in effect since 2009, require that the labels of various meats (such as beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and goat) identify the country where the animal was born, raised, and slaughtered.
Alleging the regulations discriminatory, Canada filed a complaint against the United States regarding this regulation at the World Trade Organization (WTO), which Mexico later joined. In 2011, a WTO dispute resolution panel ruled against the United States; on appeal the following year, the result was upheld.
The U.S. proposed an amendment to the regulations in May of 2013 to comply with the WTO decision. Canada and Mexico challenged the new rule at the WTO, and again the panel ruled against the U.S. in July of last year. Just last month, the WTO upheld that ruling on appeal.
Canada has threatened to assess retaliatory tariffs on various food products (such as beef, pork, corn, apples, chocolate, and pasta), and is considering to initiate the retaliatory tariff process at the WTO. Mexico is expected to follow suit.
In response, House Agriculture Chairman K. Michael Conaway (R-Texas), introduced House Resolution (H.R.) 293, which would amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 by repealing the country of origin labeling requirements with respect to beef, pork, and chicken, and for other purposes. The bill reported out of the House Agriculture Committee on May 18 with a 38 – 6 vote.
It is unknown when the bill will be taken up by the full House, or how it will be handled in the Senate. Recent comments on the subject by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a proponent of COOL, suggest the Senate will not be in a rush to repeal the rule. In a May 19 conference call with agriculture media, Grassley said Congress should take its time and consider alternatives.
Court Changes Government's Flight Plan – Limits Warrantless Laptop Seizures at BorderPosted in Cybersecurity / Privacy, Foreign Affairs / Defense, Government & Internal Investigations
On May 8, 2015, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson granted a motion to suppress the use of potentially incriminating emails recovered from a laptop computer seized at Los Angeles International Airport in 2012 from a South Korean businessman, Mr. Jae Shik Kim. By granting this motion, the court prevented the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using the email as evidence in a case in which the government alleged that Mr. Kim conspired to send aircraft parts from the United States to China, and from there to Iran.

FinCEN Levies 1st Civil Enforcement Action on Virtual Currency ExchangersPosted in Financial Services
Last month, Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) levied its first fine against a virtual currency exchanger, Ripple Labs Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, XRP II, LLC (formerly known as XRP Fund II, LLC). After BitCoin, Ripple is the second-largest cyber currency by market capitalization as of 2015.
The $700,000 civil money penalty was assessed because Ripple Labs willfully violated several requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) by acting as a money services business (MSB) and selling its virtual currency, known as XRP, without registering with FinCEN, and by failing to implement and maintain an adequate anti-money laundering (AML) program designed to protect its products from use by money launderers or terrorist financiers.
FinCEN had previously issued guidance that it considered virtual currency providers to be subject to the same U.S. AML rules as MSBs. This action represents FinCEN's first enforcement measure demonstrating that it is holding virtual currency money exchangers to the same standards as conventional ones.
Senate Finance Asks for Comments in its Effort to Help Medicare Patients with Chronic ConditionsPosted in Health Care
On Friday, May 22nd, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee were joined by two other Committee Members in issuing an open letter inviting stakeholders to comment on how Medicare could improve treatment of beneficiaries with chronic conditions. Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), and Mark Warner (D-VA), co-chairs of a recently created working group on chronic care, outlined the urgent need. The letter says that treatment of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, account for almost 93% of Medicare spending. The Senators further warned that the problem appears to be getting worse, citing a CDC study showing that the number of adults aged 45 to 64 living with multiple chronic conditions is increasing. Aging Baby Boomers will only further strain Medicare program spending, they predict.
In response, the Senators ask for input from public and private stakeholders. They are "seeking recommendations and thoughtful policies from health care stakeholders based on real world experience and data-driven evidence that will improve care for this vulnerable population." Solutions should provide high quality care at greater value and lower cost without adding to the deficit. Continue Reading

Safeguarding Your Company Against Insider Theft: 6 PRC Citizens Charged with Economic EspionagePosted in Cybersecurity / Privacy, Technology / Telecommunications
On May 16, Hao Zhang, a Chinese university professor, was arrested upon entering the U.S. as one of six defendants charged with participating in a conspiracy to steal trade secrets and commit economic espionage against the United States. Their alleged goal was to set up a factory in the People's Republic of China (PRC) that would develop and manufacture a series of high technology products that would have both civilian and military applications.
The 32-count indictment alleges that, with the financial support of the PRC and the PRC's Tianjin University, in eastern China, the six conspirators established a shell corporation in the Cayman Islands, Novana, and a plant that could produce products from the information stolen from the US entities. The conspirators had filed for patents in both the US and PRC.
The two American companies at the center of their scheme were Avago Technologies (Avago), a California-based company, and Skyworks Solutions, Inc., based in Massachuetts. Avago is a leading designer, developer and supplier of a range of analog, digital and mixed signal products used in, e.g., cellular phones and tablets. The intellectual property allegedly stolen from Avago involved its patented Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators, known as FBAR.

Proposed Rule to Bring More Oversight to Debit Card Providers Servicing Federal Financial Aid RecipientsPosted in Education, Financial Services
Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register to amend the cash management regulations of the Student Assistance General Provisions regulations issued under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).
The department was prompted to issue the proposed rule after receiving a number of reports from government and consumer groups documenting a troubling pattern of practices being employed by some financial account providers, including:
- Providers prioritizing disbursements to their own affiliated accounts over aid recipients' preexisting bank accounts.
- Providers and schools strongly implying to students that signing up for the college card account was required to receive Federal student aid.
- Private student information unrelated to the financial aid process being given to providers before aid recipients consented to opening accounts.
- Access to the funds on the college card was not always convenient.
- Aid recipients being charged onerous, confusing, or unavoidable fees in order to access their student aid funds or to otherwise use the account.
The burden of the new regulations on post-secondary institutions largely depends on their current relationships with banks and debit card providers. For example, many large, public flagship institutions have revenue arrangements with banks and debit card providers. If an institution has such an arrangement, they will need to revise their contracts to comply with these regulations when they are made final.

The Crazies Trailer #2: A More Straightforward Look at a Small Town Apocalypse
Posted on Saturday, December 12th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
The first trailer for Breck Eisner's The Crazies was pretty good, but with one significant misstep: it made heavy use of the song 'Mad World', which for the next decade should be considered as owned lock, stock and barrel by Donnie Darko. That aside, the trailer had a fairly intriguing vibe.
This second trailer omits the song, thankfully, and is a bit more straightforward. It gets into a lot less plot, jumping in when things are already going off the rails in a small town. There's more of a slasher vibe to this cut, which I'm guessing is a deliberate move to skew the film as something more simple than it actually is. Read More »

This review is from: Nokia Lumia 710 8 GB storage, 512 MB RAM White 8GB Unlocked GSM Windows Smart Phone w/ Wi-Fi / Bluetooth / 5 MP Camera / 3.7" Display 3.7"
Pros: The phone is well built and Windows 7.5 works very well. I has the 1700 band so it works with 3g on Iwireless.
Cons: Newegg claims this phone has a 90 day warranty (with a little mouse over saying "Maybe Not!). It is NOT covered by NokiaUS. I have tried to contact newegg about this and have heard nothing about fixing that claim or indeed helping me at all.
Other Thoughts: The 90 warranty was the reason I bought it here rather than other places. Unfortunately this phone has a problem with outgoing calls. Other people can barely hear me. "NO PROBLEM," I thought to myself "this 90 day warranty will come in handy."

This is a free to the public event, highlighting the group's interest in model aviation, and will include flying demonstrations.
Ozone Alert
Day declared
Environmental officials have declared Thursday as an Ozone Alert Day. Passengers ride fare-free on Cleveland Area Rapid Transit (CART) on Ozone Alert Days. All routes, except CART's Sooner Express to Oklahoma City, will be fare free. The Sooner Express is a shared route with EMBARK (formerly METRO Transit) of Oklahoma City. Passengers will ride free on all other CART routes and on CARTaccess, the origin-to-destination service for the elderly and disabled. Air quality concerns prompted officials to alert the public of increased levels of air pollution in the central Oklahoma region. Automobiles and gasoline-powered engines are one source of these pollutants, so residents are encouraged to reduce air pollution by riding the bus. For more information on CART, visit www.rideCART.com or call 325-2278. Follow CART on Twitter at @CARTNorman, or like CART on Facebook.

I cannot claim to be a disinterested observer of the events Ronald Dworkin comments on in his essay "A Badly Flawed Election." I was counsel of record to the Florida legislature in the two Supreme Court cases spawned by the tabulation of the vote in Florida. In our second brief my Harvard colleague, Einer Elhauge, and I presented arguments that closely paralleled the Court's opinion as well as the concurring opinion of the Chief Justice. In spite of that involvement—maybe because of it—I readily concede that this was a difficult case with two sides. Quite unjustified, however, is Dworkin's high dudgeon and barely concealed innuendo that the Court had acted injudiciously out of a partisan zeal to protect its own agenda against future unsympathetic appointments. On the contrary, I see the Court as having reluctantly done the job its commission required of it.
In its first opinion of December 5 the Court reminded the Florida Supreme Court that its work in this matter was not solely a matter of state law (as Dworkin repeatedly suggests) but that it was the Constitution (in Art. II, sec. 1, cl. 2, dealing with the choice of the president) that committed the matter to the state legislature and a federal statute (3 U.S.C. § 5) that assumed that disputes regarding presidential electors were to be resolved by rules established prior to the election in question. So it was a premise of that first opinion that the faithfulness of the Florida Supreme Court to the directions of the state legislature and to preexisting rules was a question of federal law and thus ultimately a proper subject for review by the United States Supreme Court. That opinion was unanimous. I say the Court showed a proper reluctance about becoming involved because it was at
