|MACROVISION CORPORATION Patent applications
|Patent application number
|COMPUTER ENABLED METHODS TO INHIBIT FILE AND VOLUME NAME COPYING AND TO CIRCUMVENT SAME - Provided here is a copy protection method and apparatus to confuse currently available personal computer software (and other content) copying packages by use of unexpected ("illegal") special characters in the volume (or directory) name for the software or other content or data subject to being copied. This method can be used alone or with a broad range of other known copy protection technologies such as RipGuard (available from Macrovision Corp.). Also provided here is a method and apparatus to defeat the confusion method, thereby allowing copying of such copy protected software.
|METHOD FOR COPY PROTECTION FOR VIDEO SIGNAL WITH ADDED PULSES - Enhancements to a video anticopying process that causes an abnormally low amplitude video signal to be recorded on an illegal copy. In one version, positive going pulses are added to the video signal. The enhancements in one version introduce into the overscan portion of the television picture, just prior to the horizontal or vertical sync signals but in active video, a negative going waveform that appears to the television receiver or videotape recorder to be a sync signal, thereby causing an early horizontal or vertical retrace. One version provides (in the right overscan portion of the picture), a checker pattern of alternating gray and black areas which causes the TV set on which the illegal copy is played to horizontally retrace earlier than normal in selected lines with a consequential horizontal shift of the picture information on those lines. This substantially degrades picture viewability. In another version a gray pattern at the bottom overscan portion of the picture causes vertical picture instability. In another version selected horizontal sync signals are narrowed, causing irregular vertical retraces. Also provided is apparatus for removing or attenuating these enhancements from the video signal, to allow copying.
|ENCODING AND DECODING OF EMBEDDED DATA STREAM IN ANALOG VIDEO USING COPY PROTECTION PULSES - Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a stream of digital (binary) data on AGC (automatic gain control) pulses or back porch pulses of the type conventionally used for copy protection in the analog television or video realm. The data is encoded onto the tips of the AGC or back porch pulses added to blanking intervals of an analog video signal. Each pulse tip may define, for instance, 10 to 15 digital bits (1 or 0) in the form of square waves or rectangular waves with two states, high and low, representing respectively 1 and 0. In another version, the digital data is similarly encoded onto the pulse tip of back porch pulses present at the end of video fields for copy protection. This digital data conveyed in an analog signal may be read by an associated decoder in a consumer device and the resulting data decoded, for instance, for copy control, storage permission, network access, user identification, or carrying additional data, such as commentary or text relevant to the accompanying video. The data bandwidth here is substantial since each AGC or back porch pulse may carry, for instance, 15 bits of digital data and the AGC or back porch pulses may be present in each of the horizontal and vertical blanking intervals of a video signal.
|Apparatus for and a method of copy-protecting a content carrying recording medium - Recording data to be recorded on an optical disc such as a DVD has at least one video title set having content data files having a video object data set, a video title set information file for the video title set and video manager information. The recording data also has a volume file system information having data relating to file identification for enabling location of content data files. In order to inhibit copying by a file-by-file copying apparatus data relating to file identification in the volume information for at least one of the content data files is caused to be incorrect, for example altered The incorrect information may be at least one of a file start address, a file length, incorrect error detection data, a pointer to a corrupt video title set information file rather than the correct video title set information file.
|TELEVISION CONTENT CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH CROSS-PLATFORM CAPABILITY - Method and apparatus for content control of television signals which operate over multiple television standards and include flags, control bits, data copy, copy protection signals and/or video modification signals. Content control for high definition television signals is provided operative with television-type devices, such as television transmitters, signal translators, recorders, players and others. This approach to content control is intended to operate both with the legacy analog television standards and new higher definition television standards, including the various HDTV standards to convert and detect content control information for use across standards. Thus this provides a multiple standard definition television content control apparatus and method with cross-platform capabilities

Drogba just after winning the Champions League with Chelsea. (Getty)
From the Sporting News:
"We offered Didier Drogba, the great Chelsea player, over $10 million a year to play. It would have been the largest salary we ever had in Major League Soccer, and he signed (with Shanhai) for €18 million ($22.7 million) net," Garber said during the Bloomberg Sports Business Summit in New York City, without indicating which club was in line to secure the striker's services.
On Friday, New England Revolution president Brian Bilello wrote on Twitter, "Re: Drogba, we were involved with the MLS discussions earlier this year. Always interested when a player like that is potentially available."
Drogba also turned down an offer from Serie A champions Juventus worth a reported €10 million ($12.8) over two years. Had he accepted the MLS offer, he would have nearly doubled the league's current highest-paid player, Thierry Henry, who is on $5.6 million (David Beckham is now the league's third highest paid player at $4 million a year since signing a new two-year contract in January).
[Related: Dempsey's move to Tottenham makes him highest-paid U.S. soccer player ever]
While a large part of Beckham's appeal was his international celebrity, a large part of Drogba's appeal is his status as an international icon. Named as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in 2010, he has been credited with ending a civil war in his homeland and he uses his endorsement money and foundation to help build hospitals in Africa. On the pitch, he played perhaps the most integral role in Chelsea winning the Champions League for the first time in the club's history last season. When he arrived in Shanghai, the reception he got at the airport was fit for a someone who just singlehandedly overthrew a dictator.
Though Drogba signed a two and a half year deal with Shanghai, there have already been rumors of Zhu Jun, the club's wealthy backer, threatening to withdraw his investment over arguments with other shareholders. So maybe New England and MLS will have a second chance soon.

Fremont musician reflects on three-decade-long career
Posted by Donovan Farnham on 07/27/2012 6:34pm PDT tags: photo
Michael McNevin once opened for Johnny Cash and the Carter family, back in the 1990s at Wente Vineyards, but somehow missed the opportunity to meet the legendary musician.
The way McNevin explains it, the man in black came over to shake hands, only to greet someone else from McNevin's crew who resembled the Fremont singer/songwriter/etch-a-sketch artist.
"The story of almost meeting him is sad and comical at the same time," McNevin said. "I never did shake his hand, but he thinks he shook mine."

Additional Information
About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more 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.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

The Virginian-Pilot
© Mar 26, 2014
Cruising along on slick-calm Atlantic waters, Bill Pappas Jr. and some of his buddies marveled as they watched a span of dolphins "bow ride" in front of them.
Pappas shot video final week as Kyle Shipp hung off a front of a vessel and attempted to hold a witty animals.
They had no idea of a risk that lurked below.
On their approach to a new fishing plcae about 40 miles off Rudee Inlet, they speckled a span of dolphins floating on a surface. Closer investigation suggested that a reduce back apportionment of any was blank – it had been bitten off by something with large, razor-sharp teeth.
"A shark, for sure," Pappas said. "I've hold hundreds of shark in my life, and we was flattering certain this was a good white by a distance of a teeth marks. The chunks were bitten out completely."
As Shipp hold one of a dolphins adult for pictures, Pappas kept thinking: "Hurry up…. What if it's still around?
"I've never been frightened out on a H2O before," he said. "But we were in a 19-foot boat, and this disturbed me a small bit."
Jack Musick, a highbrow emeritus during a Virginia Institute of Marine Science, reliable Pappas' suspicions after looking during photos.
"The bites are good white shark bites," pronounced Musick, who started VIMS' shark module in 1973 and continues to investigate a fish.
"Looking during a breadth of a punch and a male in a pictures, I'd have to theory that it's approximately a 10-foot animal.
"You can see a distance of a teeth and a gapping. It's classic," he said.
It's also flattering singular for this time of year.
Pappas pronounced H2O temperatures around a Triangle Wrecks – some 40 miles off a seashore – were in a mid-40s. Musick pronounced that would be on a reduce finish of a good white's toleration range. But satellite imagery from Roffer's Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service indicated a labyrinth of warmer Gulf Stream H2O in a area, that could explain a dolphins… and a shark.
Great whites are found in Virginia coastal waters. Commercial fishermen locate them roughly annually in their nets. And recreational anglers are stating an boost in sightings.
A 15-footer was hold 3 miles off Rudee Inlet final summer by Maryland-based licence captain Dan McClarren.
And Mary Lee – an estimated 3,500-pounder versed with a satellite tab by Ocearch – final summer was monitored inside Hatteras Inlet and nearby a mouth of a Chesapeake Bay.
An boost in a series of brook seals vital around a brook could attract some-more sharks.
"The race of good white shark along a East Coast is rebounding," Musick said. "And with a seals' operation expanding, it's expected there could be some-more encounters."
Pappas is looking brazen to that.
"It's exciting," he said. "Of all a fish we catch, shark are during a tip of a food chain, and it's conspicuous to be around them.
"I only don't wish to have my hands in a H2O holding cinema when one shows up."

Calling all Superheroes to help Celebrate!
Superman Party Decorations
A Superman party looks best decorated in red, yellow and blue. You can add black for a comic book style appearance. Start with balloons which are an easy way to fill a room.
Add red, yellow and blue balloons to our Superman Kit. For a complete look, use a combination of solid color latex balloons and our Mylar Superman balloons.
Wall and Room decor:
- Order a personalized banner to celebrate the occasion.
City Scape
- Cover a wall in the party room with a larger-than-life city scape.
- You can use large rolls of paper or fabric.
- Use blue-sky colored fabric or paper for the background or a gray color for night sky.
- Draw lines and angles forming an outline of tall buildings on black or gray paper or fabric. Make lines of different sizes and shapes to represent the buildings. Cut it out and secure it to the background.
- Add another row of buildings in alternating shapes and sizes. Cut it out and secure it to the first row of buildings to appear 3-D.
- Cut out small squares or rectangles from yellow paper or fabric to look like windows and attach to the buildings.
Phone Booth
Consider having a "phone booth" decoration that can later be used in the activities. Locate a large refrigerator box. Be mindful that this might be hard to find so give yourself plenty of time.
- Spray paint the entire box red.
- If one end of the box is open, use that as the top. Leave the closed end on the floor so you can secure it to the ground to keep it from falling over.
- Measure and mark one side of the box to open from right to left as a door. Cut to open the door.
- Paint horizontal and vertical lines with black paint to represent windows or cut out windows if you are feeling ambitious.
- Attach a small knob to use as a door handle.
- Paint or attach to the top of the box front, a rectangular sign in black writing on a white background that says, "TELEPHONE."
Other ideas:
- Cut out large comic book words such as "POW," "BAM," and WOW" from large pieces of black cardboard or card stock. Put them inside white speech bubble shapes and tape to walls.
- You can do the same for the large "S" for superman. Cut out a large "S" and tape or glue it to an upside down yellow triangle.
- A Superman Pinata filled with Superman party favors and candy can be both an activity and a decoration.
- Remember, you can transform any pinata into a pull-string with these easy Pinata tips and tricks
Of you're using solid color party ware, decorate in yellow, red, white and blue. If you'd rather decorate with Superman party ware, check out our awesome Man of Steel design.

Q: Dr. Ming, Dr Yang, congratulations to your publication which is specially featured in the first issue of JAHA, the new Journal of the American Heart Association. Can you briefly summarize the key findings of the study for us?
A: The key finding of our study is that arginase II promotes inflammatory responses in macrophages in mouse and human cells through mitochondrial dysfunction i.e. increased production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. We also demonstrate that deficiency of arginase II gene in the ApoE knockout mice reduces atherosclerotic lesion formation and reveals characteristics of stable plaques. Moreover, arginase II knockout mice show reduced macrophage infiltration in various organs and decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in high‐fat diet–induced obesity and better glucose tolerance and improved insulin sensitivity. The results implicate that targeting arginase II may represent a potential therapeutic strategy in atherosclerosis and in type-II diabetes mellitus.
Q: Two isoforms of arginase exist, however, only the role of arginase I in macrophage inflammatory responses has been extensively studied in the past. Can you speculate why arginase II did not gain more attention in the past? And what was your rationale to focus on this isoform?
A: It is well demonstrated in recent years that macrophages are heterogeneous. In macrophages, iNOS-mediated NO production is widely used as a marker of the pro-inflammatory phenotype (M1) of the cells, while arginase-I is used as a marker of the anti-inflammatory phenotype (M2). This is mainly based on the observations that macrophages which are induced to release more pro-inflammatory cytokines shows markedly increased expression of iNOS, whereas macrophages which release predominantly anti-inflammatory cytokines show up-regulated arginase I levels. It is believed that enhanced expression of arginase I limits the bioavailability of intracellular L-arginine for excessive NO production from iNOS and dampens inflammation and tissue damage, contributing to the anti-inflammatory functions of M2 cells. Arginase I has been thus used as a marker for M2 phenotypic cells. Since arginase I and arginase II have been shown to have the same function in vascular endothelial cells in terms of decreasing eNOS function and arginase I (not arginase II) is consistently shown to be increased in M2 macrophages, this might be the reason that arginase I instead of arginase II is usually analyzed in macrophages and people assume that arginase II should have the same functions as arginase I in the macrophages.
In the past few years, numerous studies including our own demonstrate that arginase II is the major isoform upregulated in the vascular cells from humans and mice contributing to endothelial dysfunction under several pathological conditions including atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Moreover, tissue macrophage infiltration and inflammation play important roles in atherogenesis and obesity-associated insulin resistance or type II diabetes. Yet, little is known about the role of arginase II in macrophage functions. Taking into account that arginase II has been reported to be upregulated in macrophages by pro-inflammatory stimuli such as endotoxin and arginase II expressing macrophages are associated with more advanced atherosclerosis in animal models, we hypothesized that arginase II may promote macrophage inflammatory responses contributing to chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and type-II diabetes.
Q: In the first part of your study, you extensively investigated the role of arginase II in various types of mouse and human macrophages, either cell-line- or bone marrow-derived. Are there differences between these macrophages from different origins? Do human and mouse macrophages behave differentially?
A: Evidences have been presented by literature showing some differences in biological functions between mouse and human macrophages. In support of this notion, we observed upregulation of iNOS levels by endotoxin in mouse macrophages, but not in human monocytic cell lines. They also have biological functions in common. For example, arginase II (not arginase I) expression can be induced in both mouse and human cells upon stimulation by endotoxin. Moreover, downregulation of or deficiency in arginase II reduces production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in both mouse and human cells.
Q: Are the expression levels of the 2 arginase isoforms interdependent, meaning is arginase I downregulated when arginase II is induced? And what happens in knockout mice: is the other arginase isoform upregulated in case of genetic deficiency of one isoform?
A: This is an interesting question. In this study, we did not analyze the inter-regulation of these two arginase isoforms.
Q: What are the underlying mechanisms of pro-inflammatory macrophage responses driven by arginase II?
A: We demonstrate that arginase II promotes pro-inflammatory macrophage responses through amplifying mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. The anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine abolishes mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and also the pro-inflammatory responses.
Q: You then went on to study the in vivo role of arginase II in macrophage inflammatory responses. Which models did you use?
A: Two chronic inflammatory disease mouse models were used. The first model is the high-fat-diet-induced obesity-linked type-II diabetes in arginase II knockout mice, whereby wild type mice serve as control. The second model are the atherosclerosis-prone ApoE knockout mice in which arginase II gene is knocked out, i.e., the ApoE and Arg-II double knockout mice. ApoE knockout mice serve as control.
Q: Is it known whether arginase II is also expressed in other immune or vascular cells? And if so, could this have an impact on the phenotype you observed in your study?
A: Yes. Arginase II is also expressed in endothelial cells and has been shown to play an important role in endothelial dysfunction linking to obesity and atherosclerosis as well as vascular aging as shown by our most recently published study (Yepuri G. et al., Aging Cell. 2012 Aug 29. doi: 10.1111/acel.12001. [Epub ahead of print]). We believe that this could also have an impact on the phenotype we observed in our study. From the therapeutic point of view, targeting arginase II in vivo can improve endothelial function while simultaneously suppressing the pro-inflammatory macrophage responses. This could be beneficial for patients with type-II diabetes, atherosclerosis, and aging-associated cardiovascular dysfunction.
Q: Based on your findings, can we consider arginase II as a marker of the pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage phenotype?
A: We can add arginase II to the list of M1 macrophage makers. However, we think that characterization of M1 phenotype should also include other markers and importantly the functional analysis of macrophages.
Q: To conclude, can you speculate on a clinical perspective? Can we extrapolate your findings or part from it into the clinical practice?
A: As above mentioned, we think that arginase II could be considered as a biomarker for inflammatory diseases. Moreover, development of arginase II specific inhibitors may give rise to a new generation of drugs in treatment of coronary heart disease, type-II diabetes mellitus and associated cardiovascular complications, and vascular aging.
Q: What are the next steps for the future?
A: We will continue to translate our findings into patients and also wish to develop specific arginase II inhibitors for in vivo pharmacological studies.
Q: Dr. Ming, Dr. Yang, thank you so much for your time and willingness to discuss your exciting findings and share your expertise with us.
A: We thank you and the ESC Working Group Atherosclerosis and Vascular Biology for the interest in our study and for selecting our publication as the interview article of the month!
Q: Dr. Ming, Dr Yang, congratulations to your publication which is specially featured in the first issue of JAHA, the new Journal of the American Heart Association. Can you briefly summarize the key findings of the study for us?

Hi! Thanks for writing. The most important rule of gardening is to put the right plant in the right place, so start by making sure you're selecting plants that tolerate your climate, that adapt to the amount of sun/shade you have, etc. One great resource to get started is the Southwestern Gardening section here on BHG.com! http://www.bhg.com/gardening/gardening-by-region/desert-southwest/

hello everyone,
I wanted to ask how can I change the format of outgoing e-mail messages in my Microsoft Outlook Express.
If anyone knows how to do this ... please help
thank you
hello everyone,
I wanted to ask how can I change the format of outgoing e-mail messages in my Microsoft Outlook Express.
If anyone knows how to do this ... please help
thank you
There are times when it makes sense to change the format - such as to send a bulleted list or to highlight and comment on sections of the message - its
easier to do in html. But these are fairly rare and don't justify changing
the format for each and every message.
It is not about bashing any format - but generally speaking, when someone
chooses to use a specific format there was a reason for it and the recipient
should honor it when they reply. For example, if I send you a message from
my blackberry it will be plain text. Your replying in HTML format is a
pointless waste of effort as I won't see the fancy formatting on my BB.
Fortunately, I have an unlimited data plan so the extra size of the message
won't affect my cost - it will help to fill up my device storage.
The recommended format to use for sending email messages from Outlook 2000 is Plain Text. Messages sent as plain text are smaller in size and are more efficient to transmit across the Internet than the other formats available. Also, plain text messages will be displayed accurately by all email programs.
The formats available for sending messages within Outlook 2000 are as follows:
Plain text - This format does not support advanced formatting options but it can be viewed by all email programs.
HTML - This format offers the most formatting options. It supports text formatting, numbering, bullets, alignment, horizontal lines, pictures (including backgrounds), HTML styles, and Web pages. You can also use stationery and signatures with this format. But not all email programs are capable of displaying HTML formatted messages and they are much larger in size.
Rich Text (RTF) - This format allows you to add some text formatting, bullets, and alignment and you can also use signatures with Outlook Rich Text. It does not allow all the options of HTML format, but it can be displayed by more email programs than HTML format.
While it is possible to send messages in the different formats you should be aware of the following:
- Not all email software can read emails in HTML or RTF format and some recipients will see the raw HTML tags.
- A message sent in HTML format is far less efficient because it is much larger in size than a corresponding plain text message and it will also take longer for your recipient to download.
To change/check the format used for all of the messages that you send within Outlook 2000 proceed as follows:
1. Run Outlook 2000
2. Select Options... from the Tool menu
3. Next select the Mail Format tab
4. The "Message format" part of the window displayed shows the formats available - Plain Text, Rich Text or HTML.
Note: You may change the format for a specific message when you are creating it. In the New Message window use the options available from the Format menu.

New Millennium N Reviews
"Fantastic location to go to. Super friendly service, quality medicine, and a very easy to access location. Definitely worth a visit if you haven't been here before."
"I've come to New Millennium a few times now and have not been disappointed. The staff is super knowledgeable and will hook you up with just the right meds for whatever ails you. Their selection is phenomenal, for flower and medibles, and their prices are AMAZING. And I haven't even mentioned the deals of the day for their patients, or the $25 1/8 of the day! Specials like that are what make dispensaries like NM so great- it shows how much they care about and want to help their patients. The atmosphere is great, quality is guaranteed, and those prices cannot be beat! If you're looking for quality medicine and a helpful, caring staff, look no further. New Millennium will do ya right."
"I have been coming here sense they were called AAM. Great herb, specials and prices. My favorite place to go!"
"This is my favorite place to go, I get great service and the employees know what they're talking about. Even though it's a bit far from my house I will do it for this dispensary. They also have great deals every day like buy one edible and get another half off. Amazing 25 an eight deals. I highly recommend! :)"
"They are so nice very informed on all their products ! Med quality is awesome I am so surprised their prices are sooo great best deals I've seen. Already sent other patients there! I love this place "
"I was very happy with the service I received at this location, quality and huge selection of medicine also great prices and friendly staff. Thx new millennium!"
"Love the shop! Great selection of meds! Bud-tenders know their stuff and are always friendly!"
"My first experience here was pleasant-beautiful flower,sweet budtenders,good value.Now if you could open up a branch here on Vashon..."
"Friendly, knowledgable people. Wide selection and great deals. I drive from Everett to visit them!"
"I've been going to this dispensary regularly now for a little over a month. I love how professional they are with their service and always get me in and out fast. The daily deals they have such as free pre-roll Tuesdays are a nice touch and help encourage me to go back here. Every strain I have bought from New Millennium has been great, I have yet to try the concentrates but I have had their edibles and they are excellent quality. To top it off they even have cute girls that work there. Great place to buy your medicine, I will keep coming back here."

BOSTON The pool of 20 medical marijuana dispensaries the state announced it had provisionally approved back in January is now down to 11. And dispensaries likely won't start opening until late this year or early next year.
In the last five months, the dispensary selection process has been clouded in controversy, with accusations the state Department of Public Health didn't properly vet applicants' backgrounds and their claims of community support.
On Friday, DPH announced it has eliminated some of the companies it originally named as qualified to run the dispensaries.
"Only those applicants deemed ready to meet the highest standards of safety, access and quality are advancing from the verification phase," said Karen van Unen, director of the state's medical marijuana program. "Those who did not meet those standards will not move forward."
Six medical marijuana companies DPH originally selected as among the best did not make it through to the next phase in the process. They were planning to open nine dispensaries between them.
Among those disqualified is Medical Marijuana of Massachusetts, the company of former Congressman and Norfolk County District Attorney William Delahunt. DPH faced criticism for originally approving Delahunt's team for three provisional licenses and giving it the highest score out of all applications. Some observers questioned whether Delahunt's political ties contributed to his success.
Delahunt spoke with WBUR the day the news was announced:
"I'd like to know what the unfair advantage was. I don't even know the individual who actually made the final decision. But this was a very rigorous process. It clearly was done in a way that it eliminated any political influence whatsoever," Delahunt said on Jan. 31.
All disqualified teams received letters Friday outlining the reasons. In the one that went to Delahunt's group, DPH said the company's plan to give 25 percent of gross revenues to a separate for-profit arm of the company violated the requirement that dispensaries be nonprofit.
DPH also accused Delahunt of incorrectly representing support from state Senate President Therese Murray.
In a statement on Friday, Delahunt said his team "worked very hard to get this right at every turn, legally and ethically."
Also eliminated from the original group: Good Chemistry and Green Heart Holistic, both of which were planning dispensaries in Boston. That leaves Boston without a proposed dispensary. Good Chemistry, which also planned a dispensary in Worcester, said in a statement that the company is one of "high standards, professionalism, and integrity," adding: "To the extent that we made any mis-statements in any of our application materials, we disclosed them as soon as we were aware of them."
In DPH's letter to Good Chemistry, it accused the company of misrepresenting support from state legislators in Boston and meetings with the sheriff and chief of police in Worcester that never happened.
"The important thing here is that we are focusing on the next step and moving to the inspection phase with 11 applicants and being able to help them set up their operations so they can make their services available to patients," van Unen said.
The "verification phase" that's been going on since January included detailed background checks, verification of statements of support from local political leaders, and interviews.
Jack Nichols, director of Creative Services, Inc., which conducted the background checks, says they included international and national reviews encompassing financial backgrounds and fraud and abuse complaints.
"Over 4,748 civil and criminal searches were done on the applicants in that initial phase of the process," Nichol explained.
Rep. Jeffrey Sanchez, who was appointed by House Speaker Robert DeLeo to review the dispensary selection process, says despite Friday's announcement, he's still waiting for answers to questions he's been sending DPH since March.
"I can appreciate that they felt the need to move forward, because we need to live up to the will of the voters," Sanchez said. "At the same time, we do want to understand how they arrived at this decision making, especially around their scoring system and the issue around administrative approval."
Asked whether she wishes DPH and the dispensary selection committee more thoroughly vetted the applicants the first time around, van Unen wouldn't concede any mistakes.
"In no way do we have regrets," van Unen said. "We're super excited about being able to move forward to the next phase with 11 applicants."
The dispensaries approved to move on to inspections receive a provisional certificate of registration. But that leaves seven Massachusetts counties without a dispensary in the works. A separate group of five companies that scored well will now get to apply for spots in those open counties. And a totally new round of dispensary applications will begin next year. That will be open to anyone, including teams now disqualified and totally new ones.
DPH says disqualified applicants can appeal the decision. Any appeals will end up in Superior Court.

Hrachya's brother is a student and simultaneously he works at the rescue service. Hrachya has no higher education and he has never worked anywhere, and since his father died he has become fully engaged in farming and agriculture. His mother helps him very much in farming and potato cultivation. They keep in their farm two cows, two heifers, eight sheep, three piglets and thirty chickens. The meat and the milk of their farm animals they manage to sell through the re-sellers right from their house.
When Hrachya was still a little boy, he used to think that without his father he could do nothing in this life, but now he understands that he is responsible for his family. Life is going on and he must work as hard as he can to provide better living conditions for his mother and his brother.
Hrachya has taken loans from Nor Horizon already three times and this time he decided to have a deal with Kiva lenders. He asks a loan to buy two cows and a lot of animal fodder in order to provide his farm animals and support his family financially.

a strand keeps falling in my face..
A really great shot!
This is so beautiful
that's so cute................
First of all, love the photo. Catherine is one beautiful lady. I love the way you captured her expression on film. You managed to capture the moment so to speak. Also, in lessening the detail of the photo IMO you actually enhanced it. Love the blending of colors as well. Got a fan here.
its not a film , i wish it was its digital ,and yes i try to enhance in the level that retouching does not overcome the photography technique. Color blending usually is of my primary targets, if my colors does not blend, i dont shoot
Beautiful portrait. Lovely model and pose. Excellent shot! Thanks for sharing.
How do you get the awesome color effects on your picture?
this is mainly cross processing technique (you can find on youtube ways to do it), but already shot in a "coldish" white balance
so lovely !
Beautiful Her far-away-expression is gorgeous
Amazing and such wonderful colors
uwah! such beautiful skin! awesome job the colors are really nice C:
She's beautiful. I love this (:

My bike has been shifting funny, and recently has started making grumbling noises when pedaling. I took it to the shop and they said the hanger was bent and straightened it. In doing so he said not to have it straightened again, and if I do have it replaced, to only do it once.
Is he trying to get me to buy another bike, or just giving me advice on the cautious end. I understand not bending it straight again...as it could weaken. I don't understand the only replace it once. Is this because it can strip the threads on the frame or what's the deal with that?
I don't think it will be a problem, I'm just curious if he was shooting straight with me. In the past his advice has been spot on, but the shop was too busy for me to inquire as to why.

Of Men and Space Marines
Welcome back. Today I want to further address the topic of playable races/characters. I will also say something about the comments I received for my first post.
Let's start with a statement: There will be Space Marines. There should be no arguing about that if one takes into account the current marketing strategy of Games Workshop (GW). Space Marines are at the center of GW marketing and I dare to say that they are probably the most popular army list currently available. That being said, Space Marines will have to be playable in order for an W40K MMO to be successful.
Although Space Marines are that successful, there are other races in W40K (as pointed out in the introduction) that certainly have a dedicated fan base which (and that is important) spends A LOT of money for their hobby. While I admit that not all of the table top (TT) players will play a MMO, at least some of them will. So it would be a mistake to exclude all of the other races. As playable races some might have to be excluded. For example the Imperial Guard.
It was already stated, that Space Marines have to be in the MMO as playable race. This automatically excludes the Imperial Guard as playable 'race'. Why is that so? Well, obviously: balance. Let's imagine a lonely Imperial Guardsman facing a single Space Marine. Most likely the Space Marine will beat the hell out of the guardsman in ranged combat and melee alike. Some might ask why this would exclude the Imperial Guard as they would fight together with the Space Marines (at leats most of the time). Well, for balancing it will be necessary to choose playable characters from other recaes that are about equal to the Space Marines. That would lead to the situation that the Imperial Guard would most likely lose a battle if numbers are not in their favour. For a MMO this is a rather bad idea. The same is the fact for nearly every other thing one might imagine as playable for the Empire.
At first glance, the Adepta Sororitas might be an exception. But I say: they are no alternative for the Space Marines. While the standard Sister of Battle might hold herself against the standard Marine, there is a balancing issue on the broader picture: weapon diversity. Space Marines are able to field almost any weapon type with their infantry (except autocannons, iirc). The Sisters of Battle are rather fond of flames and bolts. If I'm not mistaken, they can only field bolters, heavy bolters, (heavy) flamers and (multi) meltas. So they lack missile launchers, lascannons und plasma weapons which are effective weapons against vehicles and heavily armored infantry. The meltas are effective against these too, but they only offer short range. This I judge as a serious disadvantage in comparison to the Space Marines.
MChavez suggested that the inclusion of hive world gangs would serve the game well. According to above mentioned, I don't think these will be included because of balancing. An avergae gang member on a hive world will most likely not stand a chance against a Space Marine or anything roughly equal to them.
BlindShooter mentions that there are multiple possible scenarios. I admit this is true and that I will have no influence whatsoever on which scenario will be selected. Nevertheless I will later on write about the different possible scenarios and the consequences of choosing each of them. So stay tuned ^^.
Concluding this second entry, I will shortly summarize the essentials:
- there will be Space Marines and they will be playable
- most likely no other factions/armies from the Empire will be playable
Not sure if this was asked, but do space marines, table top, do solo play? If not then why would they make an MMo where space marines, whom are usually squad based be a playable class. Matter fact, any race and class. I thought the 40K universe was military stuff, so no rogue business. Unless GW figure out away to get players to fight together all the time in squads..
Just thinking out loud based on this post.Wed Apr 02 2008 1:52PM Report
I can't see them really doing Space Marines, unless we're looking at a Planetside-style MMO, and even then they'd be downgraded or excluded.
Space Marines are the Jedi of the 40K universe. They are by definition, all but impossible to balance next to more ordinary and mundane characters. They are super-human, genetically, and cybernetically enhanced. No other race's standard soldier comes anywhere close, except Chaos Space Marines.
Look at the chaos adding Jedi to SWG caused. First they were too powerful, so the devs toned them down. Then they were too weak, and the Jedi crowd went up in arms.
In a table-top game, such as 40K the balance is achieved through a points system. There are simply less Space Marines for the allowed army list points, compared to another army. Because of their comparative strength compared to other base troopers.
But how could this balance be achieved in an MMO setting? I don't see how it can. SWG (for example) is based around the time period involving the original trilogy, so the balance is that there are few to zero Jedi still around. But what do you see? Armies of them everywhere. The same would hold true for a 40K MMO.
Rather, I think the developer would go the way of the recent table-top RPG, basing quests and conflict around a specific star system, where Inquisitors, Guardsman and the more mundane of the Imperium's forces would unite and/or fight against orks and other aliens whilst achieving their goals.Wed Apr 02 2008 2:47PM Report
Just to add a little more, people would invariably create Space Marines, because of the unbalanced power they have. Much like the superhero genre; whilst you can choose to be the reporter, the soldier guy, the spy, etc etc; the majority make superhero characters because of their vastly superior power.
Space Marines are the superheroes of the Imperium. Stronger, faster, better trained, better disciplined (supplemented with enhancing drugs and stimuli), better armed and equipped...
Your summary is interesting, but I don't think it holds up. If you get to choose one playable character/race from each faction, what would be the choices?
Space Marines are simply superior to any other standard trooper. Would everyone else have to play Howling Banshees, Ork Meganobz, Tyranid Warriors, Tau Battlesuits? That doesn't sound very appealing.
I think the Planetside MMOFPS format could work for 40K. That way, each faction could have several character choices, vehicles, etc, but still then you'd have to have some sort of cap for the Marine boys. Something like multiple battlefields, and a points system of allocation. Players turn up in their faction's base, can see how much allocation points are left, and select a character and/or support equipment based on the training they've unlocked.
Naturally, Marines would have an overall lower amount of points for requisitioning, meaning that much sooner than other races, players would have to simply realise that they can't play a Marine for this battle and would have to go play something else, such as another faction.
I'll leave it there, but I've already half-fleshed out the entire concept in my head :)Wed Apr 02 2008 2:57PM Report
I like Warhammer 40K but never played the table top game as I had already invested in other miniature games. I do however have all the Dawn of War installments. I had conceived of a Warhammer 40K MMO of my own more closely resembling a 1st person shooter version of Dawn of War. You can select one of 4 basic classes of each faction. They are the Builder class, Soldier Class, Driver Class, and Pilot class. During the week the servers would host border-world clashes. During the week-end the servers would host pivotal world clashes in epic scale where the elite weapons of mass destruction could be unleashed like the vaunted Titans. Each battlefield starts out with a small squad of builders and soldiers setting up their bases. Until certain buildings are finished their construction, certain classes of Soldiers and weapons can be unlocked. The maps are large enough that it takes a significant amount of time for raiding partys to find and arrive at their opposing foe's base to begin their open warfare. The combined efforts of the Soldiers and Builders amass their requisition points for research for advanced technology. With each successful milestone made Soldiers can upgrade themselves or those players observing the battle can then spawn into the battlefield with their character to join in the fun. Eventually, more advanced stages of combat the driver and pilot class'ed characters can spawn into the game and lend a hand. The map isn't won until complete annihilation of the enemy is acheived...no survivors or their buildings. As in Dawn of War, some buildings can be manned by players to help defend them via gun turrets. I see no real issue here, this is a Planetside version of Dawn of War. With each victory your character can be awarded more "starting requisition points" with each battle they participate in until those points are all spent (or reset) during the Weekend's Epic battles. Rewards for those who participate would be increased rank, that unlocks interface features as in Planetside, and grant access to more powerful weapons. I can see the Imperial Guard playing right alongside the Space Marines in this type of scenario, only because the Space Marines come in later than the Imperial Guard during the battle. Each Unit must have a specialist role that is important to the final outcome of each battle. There must be builders to construct the base buildings that unlock access to better weapons and equipment. Soldiers to fight and drivers and pilots for the other weapons of Warhammer.Wed Apr 02 2008 4:03PM Report
It would seem that a Space Marine class being playable at launch would cause too many lore balance issues than could be resolved. So, why not allow it to be a type of "hero" class unlocked by finishing the campaign, and have one or two for each race? Sort of like Jedi in pre-cu SWG only more lore appropriate.Wed Apr 02 2008 8:26PM Report
I think the issues are simply make a system with home planets and zones on the planets, expand each planet with expansions; a planet for each race to start and several that are always contested, PVP, make your character a unit. That way it will be army fill in the battles would be simple just comply the dps and everything into unit stats and make graphics bad ass. races would open IG back up b/c your unit size would be higher than the Space Marine and level the field for all the races. It would take gaming to the next levelWed Jan 26 2011 8:42PM Report

I saw a post on a recent thread mentioning ditching panniers for some method of using water proof stuff sacks. I've been contemplating just that for weight savings, multi-purpose gear cost savings, plus a number of notions about carrying gear, water proofing, compartments, etc. This was initially inspired by the design of the Xtracycle Freeloaders and my own experiences with gear as an UL backpacker using a simple, single compartment, frame-less backpack.
I imagine this has been discussed but I couldn't pull up a similar topic with the basic search. Feel free to point one out. In the meant time, I'm curious what strategies are in line with my thoughts where a sling like the Freeloader, or a non-waterproof pannier like Military surplus canvas bags, are used in conjunction with something like DrySacks. I'd also want to hear the arguments against such an approach. I've been most interested in making my own (not the Drysack), and I'm working on the sewing project with grandma. So, the systems of construction and attachment are important while I creep through the project's planning stages

The family of a man missing since 2005 is reacting after lawmen discover a vehicle in the water with a body inside believed to be their loved one.
Deputies believe the body of George Quinn was found in a Jeep Cherokee that was submerged in Gallants Channel in Carteret County.
Quinn, who disappeared on February 5th, 2005 after a bad breakup with his girlfriend, was 31-years-old at the time. Deputies say Quinn lived in Nash County for most of his life, but moved to Cape Carteret a year before he disappeared.
Quinn's mother, Emily King, says finding his body brings closure, but also has her re-living when he went missing. "You know it's like it just happened. Part of you there's a relief because you know you've got closure, but a part of you, you were hoping that closure was going to be good news not bad news."
Deputies say Quinn made a cell phone call back in February of 2005 to his girlfriend telling her he was going to drive his car into the water.
The sheriff's office is still awaiting positive I.D. from the medical examiner's office.
