Michael Mortimore
A large area around Kano in northern Nigeria has high rural population densities and long-established, intensive smallholder agriculture. This is notwithstanding a semiarid climate with variable rainfall and poor soils. The population is growing (although the rate is uncertain) and metropolitan Kano, with a population of over a million, is expanding rapidly. A conventional view of the relations between population growth, urban expansion, and ecology might expect evidence of stress in the agricultural system. On the contrary, this system exhibits stable characteristics. It is based on three interactive components (crops, farm trees, and livestock). Indigenous management is directed toward sustainability, and indigenous small-scale technologies provide a sound basis for further improvements in productivity. Economic diversification at the household level provides supplementary income.
Longitudinal studies of change in African conditions suffer from a scarcity of data and problems of continuity, compatibility, and completeness. For the present study, the baseline is a field survey carried out in Ungogo District, 10 km north of Kano, in 1964 ( Mortimore and Wilson 1965).1 My living in or near Kano for the following two decades permitted an informal monitoring of change, but having transferred my intensive field investigations further north since the 1970s, I have to draw on studies by others for more recent data, in particular, Hill ( 1977) and Amerena ( 1982).2 and by my colleagues in the Kano Rural Energy Research Project ( Cline-Cole et al. 1987). I also make use, for comparative purposes, of field studies carried out at greater distances from Kano, both within and outside the Close-Settled Zone (CSZ). The time frame for this study is two decades, 1964-86, but where the opportunity arises, trends will be viewed in longer perspective. Such a perspective is em-

Dr. Oz will have all of our attention on this Friday's episode of The Dr. Oz Show. He's claiming that there are ways to eat more and weigh less. This is the premise for his upcoming "Snack Attack" episode.
Dr. Oz will be discussing new science that proves snacking on the right foods at the right time can turn a body into a fat burning machine. The episode will be teaching viewers what and when to eat. Dr. Oz will be displaying foods that target specific problems. One high protein snack is being called the "belly blasting tri-fecta." He'll also be giving food alternatives to curb salt cravings and kill a sweet tooth. Perhaps the most enticing snack Dr. Oz will discuss is one that he says will keep one full for two and a half hours. In addition to all these snacks, many more simple and quick snacks will be announced.
Gail Simmons will also be joining the show on Friday. Simmons is a trained culinary expert, a food writer, and a television personality. Simmons is a regular judge on Top Chef and is the host of Top Chef: Just Desserts. Simmons' new book, Talking with My Mouth Full, was just recently released. The memoir is said to trace Simmons' career, how she started as a young chef and became a professional eater. Hopefully the pro will weigh in on the snack menu as well.
Dr. Oz has a loaded show planned with intriguing information. "Dr. Oz's Snack Attack, Eat More Weigh Less" episode will air Friday, February 17, 2012.

FONTANA: Police call off search for mountain lion (UPDATE)
1 of 6More Galleries
Fontana police called off the search for an unusually aggressive mountain lion that was deemed a public threat after it killed a German shepherd and threatened humans, saying they believe the big cat has been scared away.
"We believe the contact our officers had with the mountain lion on (Wednesday) scared it back into the canyon," Fontana Police Chief Rodney Jones said in a news release Thursday morning, March 6. "We will continue to patrol the area routinely to ensure public safety."
Police urged residents to bring their pets into their homes at dusk and dawn — when mountain lions are most active — and to stay aware of their surroundings. Anyone who comes in contact with a mountain lion should call 911 immediately.
Some residents living near the scene of the attack said they were nervous with the mountain lion still on the loose.
"I have a dog so I'm pretty afraid," Kabir Sandha said.
He already brings his dog inside at night, but because of the mountain lion's behavior toward humans, he said he will be watching his own back as well.
Police conducted what they called an "exhaustive" search through the day and night using SWAT teams and a helicopter equipped with infrared technology to find the mostly nocturnal animal, without a single sighting, according to police.
Fontana officials called off the search at 7:30 a.m. and removed their mobile command center about an hour later from the front of the home in the 4100 block of Foxborough Drive at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in northwest Fontana, where the animal struck early Wednesday.
The owner of 5-year-old German shepherd Princess heard the dog crying about 3:30 a.m. and went outside to find the mountain lion standing over his dog's mauled body.
The cat made an aggressive advance on him, so he retreated to his house and called the police.
When officers arrived they found the lion in the front yard. The animal lunged at the officers, so they fired at it. The animal retreated temporarily but then came back at the officers four more times —- causing them to shoot once more — before running off into the hills for good.
None of the bullets appeared to hit the animal, according to police officials.
Jones said Thursday that the mountain lion's behavior was extremely unusual and aggressive, which is why it was considered an "imminent threat." If found during the 24-hour search, it would have been captured and euthanized.
Mountain lions generally avoid humans, though conflicts are increasing as human populations extend into mountain lion habitat, which covers about half of California, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. The cats — also known as cougars — live anywhere deer are present.
Daien Welter, who lives next door to the house where the attack happened, said coyotes and mountain lions do occasionally eat pets in the foothills neighborhood, but this animal's behavior toward the officers was unusual — and frightening.
"It makes me nervous to go water my plants," she said.
[gallery type="slideshow" ids="81433,81435,81436,81434,81432,81287,81340,81288"]
- Do not hike, ride a bike or jog alone.
- Avoid hiking or jogging at dawn, dusk and at night, when mountain lions are most active.
- Keep pets inside during those hours.
- Watch small children carefully.
- If a mountain lion is spotted, stay away from it but do not run. Instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by picking up children and waving your arms. Also, throw rocks or other objects.
- If attacked, fight back.
- If a mountain lion attacks a person, immediately call 911.

TALLAHASSEE 10/21/2011 -- As Gov. Rick Scott jets into Brazil on a weeklong trade mission, Florida labor officials are preparing to release the state's unemployment numbers for September.
Florida's unemployment rate has stagnated at 10.7 percent for the past three months and remains well above the national average of 9.1 percent. Florida is one of nine states that reported double-digit unemployment in August.
There are nearly one million Floridians who remain jobless and looking for some good news in Friday's report.
The U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday that applications for weekly unemployment benefits had fallen to a six-month low based on its last four-week average.
Scott won election in part because of a campaign pledge to create 700,000 new jobs in Florida within seven years of his taking office earlier this year.

Crawfordville, FL - Wakulla County Sheriff's Office wants the public to take precaution, after an abundance of DUI arrests last weekend.
Weekend deputies made four DUI arrests.
The Sheriff's Office is determined to lower that number.
Wakulla County deputies are speaking out about the dangers of driving drunk.
It wants residents to be cautious, especially when the speed limit changes during the new school year.
"Message I am trying to send is to try to make people aware the danger of this the danger of themselves and the danger to other families when they are on the road," said Keith Blackmar from the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office wants Crawfordville residents to also be aware of school buses and children crossing the street.

Additional Information
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.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Protection from SQL Injection
I just finished watching a short video on YouTube of a 13-year-old kid showing people how to hack into a retail Web site. It only took him a couple of minutes and one simple technique to gain access to their customers' personal information—including credit card numbers. I guess you can never tell whether or not a YouTube video is staged or rigged to make it appear to be more than it actually is; however, the method he demonstrated, while simple, is effective and can be used to exploit security holes in Web sites left open by sloppy programming.
How did he do it? He used a SQL Injection Attack. He knew that by entering an escape character followed by a simple SQL statement into a form on the site it would create a query on the fly, incorporate his raw input, and pass it to the database. In his demonstration he extended the login and password by entering an escape character that instructed the database to treat his input as a SQL statement. Then he entered an "or" statement that would always resolve to true. So when the well-meaning database processed his credentials, it granted him full access to the site based on the truth of the "or" condition he'd entered.
So what's the solution? Your site should always validate user input. Additionally, it is easy for savvy users to manipulate data and bypass security measures enabled on the client, so to be safe you must perform the validation on the server. To keep your site secure from this type of attack, you should check the size, type, format, and value range of the data to ensure it is what you expected and filter out escape characters that could be interpreted as a command by a database engine or any other Web application.
What's one of the easiest ways to validate user input on the server and check for SQL injection attacks? UrlScan 3.0. This handy utility can be set up to act as a global or site-level filter to check HTTP requests and to block harmful requests from being processed. In addition to being a practical tool for preventing SQL injection attacks, UrlScan 3.0 can be configured to restrict access to a variety of HTTP requests that could potentially cause damage to your Web site. UrlScan 3.0 is easy to download and configure and IIS 5.1 and later supports it. You can download UrlScan 3.0 from the IIS.Net Download page.

A member of an underworld group linked to Yamaguchi-gumi is suspected of accompanying an arrested former sumo wrestler when he allegedly demanded hush money from expelled ozeki Kotomitsuki, sources said Friday.
Police are investigating the alleged ties between the mobster and Mitsutomo Furuichi, 38, who was arrested last month on suspicion of extorting ¥3.5 million in hush money from Kotomitsuki in January over his gambling on pro baseball games, to build a case against the gangster, who has not been identified.
Furuichi allegedly demanded that the now-ozeki pay him tens of millions of yen in addition to the money, saying that while the gang had wanted more than ¥100 million, he marked the price down, the sources said.
Expelled stablemaster Otake, who has admitted to gambling on baseball games, mostly through Kotomitsuki, took part in negotiations at a hotel in Osaka in March during the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament, the sources said, adding that Furuichi was accompanied by the gangster.
Kotomitsuki rejected the demand at the time. Furuichi allegedly stopped making the demand at a meeting with Otake later in the same month after the then stablemaster told him he had consulted with the police over the matter, according to sources.
Police searched several sumo stables this week to look for evidence of widespread illegal gambling among former and active wrestlers that was allegedly run by a bookie linked to the mob. Friday, they raided the Otake stable in Tokyo.
Last Sunday, the Japan Sumo Association dismissed Kotomitsuki and Otake for betting on baseball games, while suspending more than a dozen active wrestlers, who were involved in gambling, from competing at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament opening Sunday.
Meanwhile, yokozuna Hakuho voiced disappointment Thursday over the association's decision not to present the winner of the Nagoya tournament with any awards, including the coveted Emperor's Cup, because of the gambling scandal.
"All of us sumo wrestlers are training hard to win the cup, so I'm very upset and I kind of think they're going too far," Hakuho said.

Black and White Feedback / Discussion Thread
If you've got something to say about the forum feel free to express your opinion here so the forum community can discuss. Past discussions have included how to improve activity, as well as what to do with weekly polls, and things along those lines. I'll document all the past discussion points below, however the thread itself is for discussing the forum and how you can get the best out of it, so please do make use of this thread!
Past Discussion
July 2012
So as you've probably noticed lately, this section has been kind of slow - well, slow for a while. One of the main things that have been happening is that it has turned into Unova Pokemon Polls, as I like to think of it. Most of the threads are about the Pokemon, rather than the games themselves.
Now while B2W2 does exist, and it's expected that activity does die down, it's not really a good thing that the Pokemon threads outnumber anything else being made. The weekly polls aren't really to blame for that later because if you remove them, then there's 6 less being made overall.
So the issue here I think is that there's too much of an emphasis on the Pokemon of the region, which can be found in B2W2 and future Pokemon games, rather than the actual games themselves. While I don't mind an occasional few threads, they just get boring to read after a while because it's always the same things over and over, for the most part. For example, look at the most disappointing thread, not only were people posting Pokemon from other regions, but most people have posted the same Pokemon over and over. As for the Unova Pokemon not looking like Pokemon thread, again, same Pokemon over and over.
If you'd also check the posts in each of those threads, the Pokemon threads definitely outnumber everything else in terms of posts being made in those threads, other than the general "this or that game" or "favourite gym leader", etc.
While I don't really want to kill off weekly polls, because they do generate a bit of activity here, I think something has to be done about the mass Pokemon threads, because in reality, every other Pokemon gaming section doesn't have as much of an emphasis on the Pokemon - in fact, usually not even favourite from the generation because they're usually in Pokemon Voting Polls.
We'd also like more discussion but I really don't think that can happen outside the Pokemon threads.
Either way, what I'm asking here is what you guys want to see, whether you like just having threads on the Pokemon and would rather a Unova polls section
not gonna happen
and generally what you think can be done to improve the overall section as well as activity. So yeah, what do you guys think should be done here?
To-Do List
Bring back weekly polls in enjoyable format, October 2012
Revive the older threads as part of a new initiative, November 2012
B/W Get-Together, March 2013
Feedback is welcomed by regulars and by those that don't post here - I can use feedback from anyone that has thoughts on the section, really!
I'm paired with and in love with Frizy

Sausages Get Obama Bump At Landmark D.C. Diner
Sausages Get Obama Bump At Landmark D.C. Diner
People are waiting hours for hotdogs in Washington, D.C., after President-elect Barack Obama stopped at a local landmark last week. Ben's Chili Bowl serves Washington's best-known indigenous food: half-smoke sausages. Since Obama's visit, the line at Ben's has gone out the door.
There may also be a line for the special inaugural breakfast at Don Ho's restaurant in Hawaii, where Obama was born.

Funding via Al Majmoua Lebanese Association for Development
Jawad's clients are mainly construction workers. When Jawad first started his work, he wasn't really known by the people in his region. He decided on doing his own business, because he wanted to have independent work. In the future, he plans on improving his work.
Based on the belief that non-financial services play a complementary role in improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable entrepreneurs, Al Majmoua has established a solid Business Development Services program for both borrowers and non-borrowers with a focus on women and youth.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

New Goo Goo Dolls Song
Does anybody like this band?
Although this song doesn't do much for me. A Boy named Goo, Dizzy Up the Girl, and Gutterflower are strong records however.
I actually need to listen to these guys more.
dizzy up the girl is one of my fav. records.
this sounded decent so im sure it will grow
Digging: Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
ever since i heard black balloons, i could never get into this band.
I used to love the hell out of that song Big Machine when I was younger.
wow! I'm pleasantly surprised I'm not the only one that's excited for this! Goo Goo Dolls are a longtime favorite of mine... new stuff (they've been playing a lot more than one new song at shows) sounds superb from what I've heard. Seen many a concert with my mom when I was younger with them ; )
From what I've heard they make some awesome singles. Never boughten one of thier albums though...
I dig the guy's voice, but they've never been groundbreaking. They're good for what they are.
Not bad. They'll never make anything better than what they did in the Dizzy Up the Girl days.
You could make a pretty strong mix CD with the best songs off a Boy Named Goo, Dizzy Up the Girl, and Gutterflower alone.
1. Naked
2. Long Way Down
3. Dizzy
4. Burning Up
5. Slide
6. Broadway
7. Here is Gone
8. Sympathy
9. Big Machine
10. Black Balloon
11. Flat Top
12. Aint That Unusual
13. Acoustic #3
14. Name
15. What a Scene
16. Tucked Away
17. Iris
18. Bulletproof
19. Eyes Wide Open
band is a guilty pleasure, specifically their older material that nobodys heard of anymore
oh man checking this out
Only heard Iris, but I liked it.
Dude get yourself some more, like the songs in that mix I posted. If you like Iris you'll like most of those.
how can you not like iris
Digging: Sophie - Product
I would sell my soul for this band to break up and Isis to get down off of their artistic high horse and keep making music, even if they feel like they are treading water. You listening, Satan?
They were my fave. band in Jr. High. Have you heard Up Yours Jabberwocky?
Who the hell do they think they are insulting Lewis Carroll like that by invoking his work? He was a fine, upstanding, hallucinogen addicted pedophile.
This band is one of my huge guilty pleasure bands.....@agentzero, your avatar of the dr.rockso poser just made my day
Digging: Chance the Rapper - Coloring Book
yeah that song's pretty sweet, I don't have Jed though. Superstar Car Wash is one of my favorite albums by them, but then I got Hold Me Up, and I wasn't digging it as much. So now I don't know if I want to go further back or not
Song was meh, but I like the Goo Goo Dolls, so I'll check the album out
Song was meh, but I like the Goo Goo Dolls, so I'll check the album out [2]
yeah this song isnt as good as their previous singles
I thought it was a good first release for the new album, although it is not my favorite track. I think it is catchy enough to get radio play, but not destined to be a classic like many other singles of the past. I am curious to see what their second release from the album will be. I also strongly encourage people to take the time to read the stories behind the songs. This new album is more emotionally charged and less sentimental than some of the previous albums, and offers much promise.

Anyone know is Three Sisters Toys is going out of business? They have like nothing on their site- great deals though :)
I e-mailed her but haven't heard back. Isn't she an MDC mama?
Me (25) DW (26) DD1 (8) DD2 (6) DD 3 (3)
Two cats, two dogs, complete chaos.
Oh, this would make me so sad! She IS an MDC mama, or at least was, and I've loved supporting her over the years, though it's been a while since I bought anything from her. I always point people to her site if they are looking for natural toys! I hope everything is okay with her...
― Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
That's too bad. I wonder when that happened. I feel like I was on that site not that long ago and there was still stuff there. It's so empty now.
I noticed that too. I just love her shop and really hope it isn't closing!

TY - CONF T1 - Chilled Water Storage System and Demand Response at the University of California at Merced T2 - 9th International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations Y1 - 2009 A1 - Jessica Granderson A1 - Junqiao Han Dudley A1 - Sila Kiliccote A1 - Mary Ann Piette AB -
University of California at Merced is a unique campus that has benefited from intensive efforts to maximize energy efficiency, and has participated in a demand response program for the past two years. Campus demand response evaluations are often difficult because of the complexities introduced by central heating and cooling, non-coincident and diverse building loads, and existence of a single electrical meter for the entire campus. At the University of California at Merced, a two million gallon chilled water storage system is charged daily during off-peak price periods and used to flatten the load profile during peak demand periods. This makes demand response more subtle and challenges typical evaluation protocols. The goal of this research is to study demand response savings in the presence of storage systems in a campus setting. First, University of California at Merced is characterized; second, its participation in two demand response events is detailed. In each event a set of strategies were pre-programmed into the campus control system to enable semi-automated response. Finally, demand savings results are applied to the utility's DR incentives structure to calculate the financial savings under various DR programs and tariffs.JF - 9th International Conference for Enhanced Building Operations CY - Austin, TX U2 - LBNL-2753E U4 -

"This administration must be ... a long-look-ahead administration," said Goddard, Inaugural Ball Pictures, Page 17 after taking the oath of office from Arizona Chief Justice Jesse Udall before a crowd of 3,000 on the sunny statehouse mall. Goddard said the astronomers of Kitt Peak Observatory on the Papago Indian Reservation were dubbed "the men with long eyes" by the Indians. He said Arizona needs such men to tackle the problems of water, agriculture, education and business development as well as legislative, constitutional and tax revision.

Eliot, American-born poet, playwright and a voice of the "lost generation" of the 1920s, died here last night. He was 76. Born in St. Louis, of a family that had been New England-ers since the 17th Century, Eliot spent most of his adult life in Britain and became a British subject in 1927. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1948. The influence of Eliot began with publication in 1917 of his poem, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Perhaps his most significant contribution came five years later in the lengthy poem, "The Waste Land." "THE WASTE LAND" was full of esoteric references and passages in other languages and quotations, unidentified, from works as old as Christopher Marlowe's "Tamburlane." Eliot added seven pages of footnotes to explain his own references. His contempt for many of society's values, a feeling that________ made him especially influential, I helped was notably brought out in hiSimind 1925 poem, "The Hollow Men." Its subtitle was "A Penny for the Old Guy," and it spoke of, "The Hollow Men, the Stuffed Men."

Welfare Workers Fired for Walking Out NEW YORK (UPI)-Thousands of city welfare employes, white collar workers who hand out nearly $40 million a month to New York's needy, defied a court order yesterday and went on strike for higher pay. Welfare commissioner James R. Dumpson ordered the names of the strikers sent to the city comptroller to be taken off the payroll. "Does this mean they are fired?" he was asked. "Yes," Dumpson replied. He acted under a state law which prohibits public employes from walking off their jobs in a contract dispute. A department spokesman said that although the employes are technically fired they usually are rehired when a dispute is settled. However, the spokesman said the strikers probably will lose three days' pay for each day they are off the job. As pickets ringed the department offices and centers throughout the city late yesterday, someone cut 36 telephone wires at the Bronx welfare cen-jority since the 1930s, ter. Long, Ford Elected to Key Posts WASHINGTON (UPI) - The heavily Democratic 89th Cong-gress swung into action yesterday by putting two new men in leadership posts and liberal-izmg House rules to help President Johnson's legislative program. The two big leadership battles were resolved quickly, before the House and Senate convened at noon, nine hours before Johnson's State of the Union address. On the Republican side, veteran House leader Charles A. Halleck of Indiana was ousted m favor of Rep. Gerald A. Ford of Michigan. The vote was 73 to 67. SENATE Democrats, taking two ballots, chose Sen. Russell B. Long of Lousiana to be party whip, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber behind Mike Mansfield of Montana. Long replaces Vice President-elect Hubert H. Humphrey.

He also disclosed his plans to visit Europe and Latin America this year. In his second State of the Union address, Johnson also expressed his hopes that the new leaders of the Soviet Union might visit the United States, and that they and American leaders could exchange television appearances in their respective countries. Government sources said diplomatic approaches to the Soviet leaders had been go-,- ing forward for some time and LBJ Invites Soviet Chiefs To Tmt U.S. By MICHAEL PADEV Republic Foreign Editor WASHINGTON - President Johnson has invited the new leaders of the Soviet government to visit the United States that the Soviet government had Johnson text, Page 10. been informed yesterday of what Johnson would say in his message. The President spoke from the rostrum of the House of Representatives cliamber, nine hours after it convened at noon He was breaking precedent by making his speech in prime evenbig television time, and by delivering a State of the Union address on the first day of the session. Government sources said Johnson would further break with tradition by sending five special messages to Congress before his inauguration on Jan. 20. The first, concerning health, will go to Capitol Hill Thursday; the other four will cover education, immigration, for- ; elgn aid and the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-mmistration. On the pressing question of the war in South Vietnam, Johnson was guarded, but his remarks suggested no change in the present policy of supporting tile South Vietnamese military operations against the Communist Vietcong insurgents, while continuing the search for a stable South Vietnamese government. The United States, the President said, was attempting to assist a friendly nation against Communist aggression as well as to protect its own security by achieving peace in Southeast Asia. Such a peace, he said, "will come only when aggressors leave their neighbors in peace." BUT IT was upon a domestic soon. This is the single most important fact which emerged from the foreign policy part of the State of the Union speech which the chief executive made before Congress last night. JOHNSON did not actually say that he has invited the Soviet leaders to come to the U n i t e d News Analysis States. But there can be no other interpretation of the following sentence of his speech: "I hope the new Soviet leaders can visit Amejica so they can learn about this country at first hand." This is the diplomatic formula with which such liigh ranking and most important state visits are announced. First, the "hope" is expressed by the host country that such a visit can be arranged (in this case, Johnson's State of the Union speech reference.) Second, a few days or perhaps a few weeks will be allowed for American and free world public opinion to comment on the projected visit.

U.S. Supreme Court
F. W. Woolworth Co. v. Contemporary Arts, Inc., 344 U.S. 228 (1952)
F. W. Woolworth Co. v. Contemporary Arts, Inc.
No. 42
Argued November 17, 1952
Decided December 22, 1952
Respondent sued petitioner under the Copyright Act to recover for infringement of copyright on a statuette, infringing copies of which had been sold by petitioner in its stores. Petitioner proved that its gross profit from the infringement was $899.16. The evidence of damage suffered by respondent, though indicating real and substantial injury, was insufficient to establish the amount of damage actually sustained. The trial court allowed recovery of $5,000 "statutory damages."
Held: The award of damages in the amount of $5,000 was authorized by 17 U.S.C. § 101(b). Pp. 344 U. S. 229-234.
(a) The fact that petitioner proved that its gross profit from the infringement was $899.16 does not limit recovery to that amount. Pp. 344 U. S. 231-233.
(b) Sheldon v. Metro-Goldwyn Pictures Corp., 309 U. S. 390, and Jewell-LaSalle Realty Co. v. Buck, 283 U. S. 202, distinguished. P. 344 U. S. 234.
(c) The statute empowers the trial court, in the exercise of a sound judicial discretion, to determine whether, on all the facts, a recovery upon proven profits and damages or one estimated within the statutory limits is more just, and there was no abuse of that discretion in this case. P. 344 U. S. 234.
193 F.2d 162 affirmed.
In an action under the Copyright Act to recover for infringement of copyright, the District Court gave judgment for the plaintiff, respondent here. The Court of Appeals affirmed. 193 F.2d 162. This Court granted a limited writ of certiorari. 343 U.S. 963. Affirmed, p. 344 U. S. 234.

Traditionally, robots are seen as inhuman, all too inhuman.
They work in our manufacturing plants, serve us medicine, and vacuum our homes, but for all their impressive capabilities, robots remain dumb machines: running through the same routines day after day, utterly dependent on human design and ingenuity, actuated but not quite alive.
No surprise then that most discussions about the ethics of human-robot interaction rely on this commonsensical distinction between human and machine.
But as humans and machines become more entangled, even reaching the point at which machines are attached to and embedded within our bodies, simple distinctions between human and robot start to break down.
Military robots aside, cyborg devices such as exoskeletons, intelligent prostheses and brain implants represent robotics' biggest challenge to existing ethical and legal frameworks.
Cyborg technology is already impacting on ethical and philosophical questions of what it means to be human. The crucial legal distinction between person and property is also at stake.
What ethical and legal issues do researchers and manufacturers need to be aware of? And what, if anything, can be done to reduce their potential exposure to liability?

Re: I can help with your Student Loan(s)
Recently looking at my credit report I saw that 3 Citiassist loans I have, have been charged off in 2009 when they should have been deferred with the rest of my Citiassist loans because I was in school then and still in school. I have gotten a letter from my school stating I have been a student since before the loans went into charged off status and I wanted to know is it worth is to mail this letter to Citi even though it is listed as charged off? What recourse do I have? Like I said they never contacted me, no collection notices or nothing. The only reason I noticed it because I clicked into all my individual loans and saw that the three were charged off as bad debt.

"Formosa Cafe" Top 5 Page for this destination Food - Drink Tip by Erin74
Food - Drink, Los Angeles: 8 reviews and 11 photos
The Formosa Cafe is a wonderful bit of "old Hollywood." It may not look too exciting from the outside, but the Formosa is a place that could really tell some tales. The restaurant and bar was opened in 1925, right across from the United Artists lot. (Today that lot is simply called "The Lot" and the facilities are rented out by various studios). Over the years, virtually every major movie star ate at Formosa Cafe, tucked into one of their comfortable leather booths. James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor... you name them, they ate here! Even some less celebrated folks, like mobster Bugsy Siegal frequented Formosa.
You'll also recognize Formosa from various movies. In "L.A. Confidential," this is the restaurant where a detective (Guy Pearce)mistakes Lana Turner for a hooker. Other movies that feature Formosa include "Swingers" and Jim Carrey's "The Majestic."
In 1991, the city declared Formosa Cafe a historical landmark. There has just recently been a huge shopping center built next door, so the neighborhood keeps changing but Formosa remains the same.
The food here isn't that great. I wouldn't eat here. Just stop in and grab a cocktail. If the roof deck is open (sometimes it is closed for private parties), head up there to enjoy the scenery.

text: I love this set. It is so beautiful, soft and elegant. The shade of purple is very muted so it is appealing to everyone. I am so happy with it, plus I live in Vegas now so I do not have anything in the duvet cover. When I move to Montana I will be able to add a thick down quilt in there for the winter. I love it.

42 here and new to fixed gear riding (started this summer). I spent the last part of the summer taking the beginner classes out at the Alpenrose Velo here in Portland, Or. Converted my commuter bike to a fixed gear and have enjoyed the riding, albeit a tougher (but faster) commute than on the geared mtb bike.
"Others don't understand because I train every day of my life as they have never trained a day in theirs." Alexandr Karelin - the most dominating Greco-Roman wrestler - ever
This is my single speed conversion I have been riding lately. I didn't have the desire to ride fixed so I just did a simple conversion to a freehub rear wheel. I am getting pretty addicted to riding single speed and it is not as grueling on the hills we have around here as I expected. Being 46 I feel pretty good to be able to do a 30 mile ride on this and be comfortable. Plus it is great on the Western Md. Rail Trail that is local to me. Great thread!
How do you like the bullhorns?
"Others don't understand because I train every day of my life as they have never trained a day in theirs." Alexandr Karelin - the most dominating Greco-Roman wrestler - ever
I qualify to post, since I'm 45. I wish I had a pic to post to go along with this. Back in the 80's, while I was in college, I worked as a wrench at very nice bike shop next to the University of Maryland (College Park Bicycles). A guy came in wanting to trade in his Columbus SL, all Campy track bike for a road bike. The boss wasn't interested, because he wouldn't be able to sell it. I picked it up off the guy for $250! That was my first, and only fixed gear bike up until last year. I used it to ride to work, at the winter roller races in the shop, and even took it up to Trexlertown, PA once...once. That scared the $#!+ out of me riding on a real velodrome. Unfortunately, I ended up selling it to make rent about a year later. I really wish I could have kept that one, along with the Schwinn Voyageur that went away under similar circumstances.
Last year I picked up a Windsor The Hour. I figured it would be a cheap way to have some fun with a fixie again. I'm happy with it, but starting to look at upgrades already. I dont' think I'll score a campy equipped track bike for that price again....but I'll keep looking.
I am 55, ride a 2011 Specialized Roubiax and a CF scattante, really liking the WABI Special online....maybe soon, will be my first real Fixie, comments?
This is but one of my many, yet current favorite, single-speed cyclocross bike

Nice looking bike.

As I turn 40 I have also past the 1 year mark of commuting and hauling by fixed gear nearly everyday. It has had a remarkable effect on my condition in that time, and hope to keep getting stronger.

Hi My name is Dave, I'm 43 and live in Adelaide South Australia. After a long break from cycling I got back on a bike at age 38. trawled the net and built a couple of single speed road conversions, before buying an 09 Giant Bowery which I rode SS. Long story short , I've bought/ built/ sold so many bikes in the last 5 years I've lost count. Always flirted with fixed(including a 63xc mtb) but never felt the connection until 12 months back. My current stable consists of what feels right to me and ticks most boxes.
I have a classic lugged steel Track bike that has a fine aussie pedigree. Tight geo and clearances and undrilled. Still a WIP to make it mine. recently bought a Kona paddy wagon(ugly but functional) to commute on. Went out today for a ride along a riverside track we have here. 70 km(43 mile) at an avg 28.4 kmh(15mph) on 75 GI.
My left knee has had 50% of the cartilage removed 4 years ago from a bad tear, and I've twice torn the medial ligaments. Fixed doesn't seem to put any more stress on it than a normal cycling style. Given that the mass populous of cyclists still seems to ride geared stuff, it kinda feels like I'm part of an esoteric cult that has a dirty secret.
Pics to come of my bikes if you are interested.
48 here. Got back into riding 2.5 yrs ago with a hybrid, and 25kms was a looooong way to go, let alone hills. Kept it up and then started riding with the local rando club. It was then where I felt the need for a roadie. Yes, a big difference in everything. Fast fwd to Apr of this year, I saw a SS advertised for $300. Well wouldn't that be a nice n+1 to have so the carbon roadie wouldn't be stolen on a short ride to the store. It soon became my bike of choice, and the hills became a little easier each and every time with the lack of bailout gears.
I spoke with a couple of FG riders on the 1200km rides this summer, and then broke loose and bought a cog. So now the bike I love to ride is the FG. Sure the downhills are far more difficult that the ups, but all in all it's a great ride and no more physically traumatic than the geared or freewheel ride.
eta: I ended up riding my SS on a 600km brevet in August and may try one this year on the FG.
Also, if I don't use a half-link with the 44x17, I can run 48x15 (86") on the track without having to replace the chain. This is a sprinter's warmup gear, and I'm definitely not a sprinter, but it's a good gear for training on the track with, when I've got my road fixed in its track configuration (at the indoor Burnaby Velodrome during the winter).
"I stick to my basic plan of simply keeping the pedals turning."
-- Kent Peterson, The Way of the Mountain Turtle
I've run 73"FG all year so far and I'm finding the hills I used to stand for I'm now sitting. My heart recovery has improved and my weight has stabilised at my lowest for 30 years. Keep going guys, and if you find it getting less of a challenge, drop a rear tooth or two.
PS. My 45 year old wife has started her SS career on a 74" and is SO FAST!
I haven't been biking for quite a while but just started back this year. I am 47 and rode a variety of geared bikes in California - even had a 3-speed for a while. I have a Trek 1100 which is being transformed into a SS although after reading Luis' post I am considering a Suicide Fixie. I have a set of Mavic Paris Gao Dakar hubs that I laced up back in 1990 or 1991 with DT double butted spokes and now I am sentimental and want to keep them. Our local machine shop has agreed to tig weld the horizontal dropouts in for me. I am working on polishing all the bits that I am going to keep and purchasing items for the project. I hope that I will have a bike I can knock around town on, ride with friends that are slow and have it look nice too.
I live at the top of a hill and our town is built on the edge of a small mountain. I'll probably go with 60" or less for the gearing so I don't have to push it home or more likely ride it home and hurt myself in the process.
Anyhow, I am glad to find this thread and have enjoyed reading through the posts.

"More prehistoric temples................." Mgarr by leics
Mgarr Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 18 photos
This Mgarr is on the island of Malta: it's not the Mgarr on Gozo where the ferry docks.
It's actually a fairly small village with (inevitably in Malta) a fairly enormous church in its centre. It's not an old village, being mostly settled during the mid 19th century, but two prehistoric temple sites lie nearby.
Ta Hagrat temples are in the village of Mgarr itself. Get off the bus (47, from Valletta or Mosta) in the village centre, and walk back the way the bus has come. After a few metres there is a tiny sign on the right pointing you down a narrow road to the temples. They have limited opening hours (as we discovered, arriving about 10 minutes after the man had gone.to the next set of temples we visited, as it happens) so best check before you set out that it is still Tuesday mornings from 9.30 to 11 for Ta Hagrat, and 11.30 to 1pm for Skorba.
Fortunately, the Ta Hagrat site is open-fenced, so I could at least take some photos through the mesh.
Ta Hagrat temple was discovered by chance in 1916, as a pile of stones in a field and was excavated properly in the 1960's. The temples (there are two, side by side) date from around 3600 to 3200 BC (BCE), known as the 'Temple period' in Malta because that's when they were all constructed. One of them has three 'apses', like other temples on the island, and part of a paved 'corridor' still remains in place.
Skorba temples lie about half a mile back up the road to Mosta, an easy walk. They too are not particularly easy to find nor well-signed, but if you walk up the main village street to your left (it's a hamlet really), then turn left again, you will eventually find the site tucked away in greenery.
There aren't so many stones remaining on this site (although there is an interesting one hidden in the grass which has 5 depressions for libations) but is is an important site neverthless. Excavations revealed good stratigraphy (that is, layers of deposits) and pottery which enabled archaeologists to properly date occupation periods starting from around 5000 BC.
This is the stone with the libation holes.
I think I would have felt happier if the site had been a little better managed (allowing grass etc to overgrow exposed monuments is not really a very good idea, once the gradual build-up of earth which overlay them has been removed by excavation). The cranes overshadowing it, and the huge amount of building going on everywhere in Malta (seemingly) do somewhat detract from the impression such sites make. But Skorba was made a World Heritage site in 1992, along with other Maltese temple sites, so perhaps things will improve. I hope so.
- Pros:Unique prehistory
- Cons:Not so easy to find and not especially well-managed
- In a nutshell:Wonderful prehistoric temples
