Trinity Tops Men's Squash 6-3; Princeton Will Hope For Rematch Next Week
Princeton won one match in each of the three shifts, with each coming on the main court. Sophomore Tyler Osborne won in three over Miled Zarazua at the No. 3 spot in a rematch of their championship final last year; Osborne had been 1-8 prior to that match, but his 3-0 win in the 2012 final was a key to Princeton's upset of Trinity.
He is now 3-8 after controlling play in an 11-5, 11-5, 11-4 win. Princeton freshman Michael LeBlanc fought hard to pull a win at No. 9, but his 11-8 loss in the fifth to Matthew Mackin, combined by a Trinity win at No. 6, opened a 2-1 Bantams lead.
Sophomore Samuel Kang fought out of a 1-0 deficit at No. 2 and was dominant by the end of his 3-1 victory over Juan Vargas. Trinity picked up two more wins during the shift, including a 3-1 win for Vrishab Kotian over Steve Harrington at the No. 5 spot. Sophomore David Hoffman stayed close with Moustafa Hamada in three games at No. 8, but each went Trinity's way by an 11-7 score.
That left Trinity only one win away, and it got it at the No. 7 spot, as Zeyad Elshorfy defeated Vivek Dinodia in thee games. Princeton split the final two matches, with Todd Harrity winning his final match at Jadwin in three, and Dylan Ward fighting out of a 2-0 deficit before eventually falling 3-2 to Karan Malik.
Check back this week for a full preview of the CSA team championships.

Getting Smart About Chain Saws (page 2 of 4)
by William Bryant Logan
Starting the Engine
Start several saws while in the dealer's presence to help you learn how to do so correctly and to compare the ease with which different models fire up. Also, start the actual saw you have bought before taking it home so the dealer can make any necessary adjustments.
There are two safe ways to start a saw: on the ground, and holding the saw firmly between your thighs or legs. Ground starting is simpler and safer. Make sure that the area is clear and that the chain is not in contact with the ground or any stray rocks or debris. Then, engage the chain brake. (This is important, since starting a saw will always make the chain rotate until you throttle it down to idle.) Next, switch on the saw and, if the saw is cold, pull out the choke, then gently pull any slack out of the starter cord. Holding down on the front handle of the saw with one hand, pull the starter cord sharply until it is fully extended, then release. Once the saw has started, push in the choke and press the throttle once or twice to rev the saw and then let it fall to idle. While the saw is warm and idling, the chain should not rotate on the bar. If it does, have the dealer adjust it.
Reality Check
With the saw running, you hold in your hand a tool as useful, exhilarating, and dangerous as a running sports car or a loaded gun. A chain turning at full throttle passes each tooth through the wood at least 10 times in a second. There are at least 60 teeth on the average chain. Were they to pass through your leg or foot at that rate, the results would not be pretty.
When holding a running saw, keep the chain brake engaged until you are ready to cut. Always make cuts at full throttle, reducing the chances of the saw binding or kicking back. Never allow any part of the turning chain to strike the ground.
To avoid kickback, follow the paramount rule: Do not touch the upper quadrant of the nose of the bar to wood or any other obstacle. If a tooth passing this fulcrum point suddenly encounters an obstacle, it can effectively stop the chain, passing all the motion of the chain into the body of the saw, which recoils violently upward toward the operator. For this reason and because your hand may not be able to activate the chain break, it is a good idea to position your body so that, in the event of a kickback, the saw can pass relatively harmlessly to the side of your body, not straight up at your head and neck.
Dress properly, protecting your head, face, and ears. Consider buying an arborist's helmet, which combines a hard hat, face screen, and earmuffs. A pair of safety glasses and ear protection are also essential.
Wear close-fitting clothing and remove any dangly jewelry. Wear sturdy steel-toed boots. Protect hands, legs, and feet, which are the most likely targets of an errant saw blade. You can also buy special loggers' chaps and gloves made of densely woven nylon fibers.
"How will I ever remember all that?" you ask yourself. You will, just as you learned to drive a car. Meanwhile, think of how lucky you are. Buying your first saw and learning to use it is a little like starting a great book. You only get to do it once.

Child and Parent Center
Fall Program
Fall 2012 Program Description
Monday, September 10th – Friday, December 14th, 2012
Child and Parent Center will be closed for the following holidays:
Yom Kippur: Tuesday, September 25th and Wednesday, September 26th
Columbus Day: Monday, October 8th
Thanksgiving: Wednesday-Friday, November 21st - 23rd
Hello from Hall-Mercer Child & Parent Center!
We are busy making plans for our Fall Semester, which runs from Monday, September 10th through Friday, December 14th. Check out the schedule on our website to find out more about our upcoming programs:
First Friends
Babies, toddlers, and young children love to spend time socializing with each other as they make their "First Friends" at Hall-Mercer Child and Parent Center. All our playgroups include snack-time, music, stories, and songs, as well as time for parents to enjoy relaxing with each other, sharing experiences, and making new friends.
Exploring Parenthood I and II
Exploring Parenthood I and II are discussion groups for first-time parents with infants from six weeks up to six months of age. The groups are facilitated by professionals with experience in newborn care, infant development, and adjustment to parenthood. Parents gain information and support to enable them to feel more confident in their parenting role. There is time for informal discussions and for parents and babies to enjoy a variety of baby games, stories, and songs.
Creepers/Crawlers, Cruisers, and Explorers
Creepers/Crawlers, Cruisers, and Explorers playgroups will enjoy exploring our developmentally stimulating play-space along with snacks, music, stories and songs. Parents will have the opportunity to get their questions answered, share experiences, and learn how to nurture their child's development. For Explorers, we will also offer time to visit our private rooftop playground, where children can play in the sandbox, ride scooters, and climb in the playhouse.
For Toddlers and Terrific Two's
For Toddlers and Terrific Twos playgroups, children will enjoy exploring our developmentally stimulating play-space as well as more structured activities like cooking projects, snacks, art projects, story-time, musical instruments, books, songs and imaginative play activities. We will also offer time to visit our private rooftop playground, where children can play in the sandbox, ride scooters and bikes, and climb in the playhouse. Parents will enjoy getting to know new friends from their community and discussing their questions and concerns with their group members and facilitator.
Parents of Preschoolers
The Parents of Preschoolers group is a parents-only discussion group for parents whose children are currently attending preschool. We will address questions and concerns about preschooler development, behavior, socialization with other children, and other preschool-related issues. Parents will have time to talk to each other, ask questions of the facilitator, and discuss topics of interest each week.
Your Younger Baby
Your Younger Baby is specifically for families with more than one child. We focus on issues related to parenting siblings and discuss how to encourage positive sibling relationships and manage the additional demands that come with parenting more than one child. There is time for play activities, snack, stories, and songs. The group is scheduled to allow parents ample time to drop off and pick up older siblings at preschool.

ZF-6567: Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap does not inherit parent application's pluginPaths
When using Zend_Application's Modules resource to allow for module-specific bootstrapping, all of the parent bootstrap's configuration options are passed to the module bootstraps, except for its plugin paths.
This appears to be because the pluginPaths key is removed from the options array prior to the options being stored in Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract.php (see esp. line 121).
The net result of this is that the parent bootstrap's plugin loader has all the appropriate paths, but these paths never get passed on appropriately to the module bootstrappers. Because of this, applications using custom plugin resource classes will experience a fatal exception when the module bootstrappers are loaded in: e.g.,
Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception: Plugin by name 'Customresourcename' was not found in the registry; used paths: Zend_Application_Resource_: Zend/Application/Resource/ in /path/to/zf/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 390
This has been tested against revision 15373 of the trunk.
Fixed in trunk and 1.8 release branch
Still a problem in rev. 15555 of Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract. Can be solved by copying pluginPaths from application instance in the constructor.
Oops, sorry, there's no problem. But you should write about using Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap for module bootstraps in documentation :)

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Ian Bostridge ¦ Intro
Ian Bostridge
Music for a while
English tenor Ian Bostridge brings us a recital programme with many previously unknown British influences. This versatile artist – who excels in baroque music, the romantic Lied and the 20th century repertoire – will perform splendid arias by Purcell, spiritual songs by Bach in modern arrangements by his compatriots Tippett and Britten, and love canzonettas composed by Haydn in England, as well as taking us on a discovery of the socially committed songs of Britten and pacifist poems of Walt Whitman set to music by Kurt Weill. This daring exploration of periods and styles, both for piano and voice, is also a journey into deep emotions, whose main theme is music which defers suffering and death… Music for a while.

|Perfect ballet slippers for me! (5/5)
|Feb 10, 2014
|Mi US
|I am so happy to have found these ballet slippers. They are perfect for my hard-to-fit feet. The elastic is more comfortable than a drawstring, and thanks to the wider metatarsal pad, you're not standing on a seam when on releve. Also, the roomier toe box means no scrunched toes. Everyone's feet are different so you might not love these as much as I do, but I highly recommend giving them a try if you have found other types of ballet slippers uncomfortable. With regard to size, I usually wear an 8.5 in flats/boots and a 9 or 9.5 in running shoes, and the 6C in these ballet slippers is just right.

Welcome to the WeakAuras documentation.
WeakAuras is a framework that is intended to give you the power to display all sorts of information on your screen in useful and aesthetically pleasing ways. You have many options regarding what auras and events will trigger your displays, what your displays will look like, and what information they will show you. The purpose of this documentation is to explain these options to you, so that you can use the framework to its fullest extent.
WeakAuras is installed by copying the WeakAuras and WeakAurasOptions folders to your Interface/Addons folder. The WeakAuras folder contains core functionality, and the WeakAurasOptions folder contains the configuration UI. Make sure they are both enabled.
WeakAuras is designed to used LibSharedMedia for many textures and fonts, but it is not permitted for those fonts and textures to be directly distributed with WeakAuras. It is recommended that you install both of the following addons:
- For bar textures, install and enable SharedMedia
- For additional fonts, install and enable SharedMediaAdditionalFonts
WeakAuras is distributed with all of the textures and sound files that are included with PowerAuras. This has been explicitly allowed by the authors of PowerAuras.
Getting Started
The basic building block of WeakAuras is called a "display". WeakAuras does not come with any pre-configured displays. In order to create some, open the configuration UI by typing "/wa" or "/weakauras". This will display the "New" screen, which prompts you to pick a display type. Different display types have different properties and capabilities, which are briefly explained underneath the names of the display types. If this is your first time using WeakAuras, stick with the simplest display type - Texture. Clicking the button labeled "Texture" will create a new Texture-type display in your displays sidebar.
For more information regarding display types, see Display Types.
Configuring A Display
Sidebar Button
First, you must name your new display. The name doesn't affect the operation of the display - except that sidebar buttons are listed in alphabetical order - it is only for your own reference. You can simply press return to keep the default name for your new display ("New") if you want, and it can always be renamed later.
The sidebar will now contain a new button which represents your new display. It will have a thumbnail of the display, the name of the display, and under that, a row of small icons. The farthest left icon (a piece of paper with a folded corner) indicates whether your display is currently loaded or not (more on what that means later) - yellow means loaded, grey means not loaded. The remaining icons are buttons that aid in configuration. From left to right, they are:
- Group (a large arrow pointing the right) - Allows you to choose a parent Group or Dynamic Group for the display. More information about Groups and Dynamic Groups can be found in Display Types.
- View (a green eyeball with a black lid) - Allows you to change the visibility of the display during configuration. Displays have three visibility levels during configuration: hidden, shown, and force shown. "Hidden" displays are indicated by a fully closed eye, and are not shown. "Shown" displays are indicated by a half-open eye, and are shown, but will be automatically hidden if you select another display. "Force shown" displays are indicated by a fully open eye, and will be shown until you deliberately hide them, or close the configuration. Clicking the View button will toggle between "Hidden" and "Force Shown"; "Shown" is automatically applied to the currently selected display.
- Copy (a book) - Allows you to copy settings from another display. That display must be of the same type.
- Rename (a thin arrow that forms a circle) - Allows you to change the name of the display. Names must be unique, so if you try to choose a name that is already taken, nothing will happen.
- Delete (a large red X) - Deletes the display. You must hold down Shift for this button to work.
Options Pane
Once you select a display to configure (if you just created a display, it will be selected automatically), you will be presented with a set of tabs labeled "Display", "Trigger", "Load", "Actions", and "Animations". Each of these tabs gives you a different set of options, as follows:
The "Display" tab controls the appearance and position of your display. Generally, there will be two sections, the top being devoted to appearance, and the bottom being devoted to position and size. For information on the specific appearance options of different display types, see Display Types.
The position options are (mostly) shared between all display types. These options include "Width", "Height", "Anchor", "X Offset", and "Y Offset". However, these options are unnecessary unless you want input precise values, because displays can also be sized and positioned directly on the screen. Whenever you select a display, WeakAuras will draw a positioning box around it. Drag the middle of this box to position your display, and drag the corners to change its size.
The "Trigger" tab controls what aura, event, status, etc. will control the visibility of your display (when not in configuration mode). The default trigger type is "Aura", which ties the visibility of your display to a buff or debuff. However, there are a multitude of other trigger types, which can be accessed by setting Type to "Status" or "Event". Status triggers are based on values about your character or environment that can always be checked (for example, your Health). Events are triggered by one-time occurrences (for example, a chat message), and are usually shown for a pre-defined duration of time. Additionally, setting the trigger Type to "Custom" will create a custom trigger, an advanced feature which requires knowledge of Lua. For more specific information on each trigger type, see Trigger Types, and for instructions on creating a Custom trigger, see Custom Triggers.
The "Load" tab controls at what times your display will even be considered for triggering. For most intents and purposes, a display that is not loaded does not exist to WeakAuras. It will never be shown or even considered for triggers. By default, a display will loaded at all times. Enabling any of the options in the "Load" tab will restrict when the display is loaded. The options are as follows:
- Player Name - Enable this to indicate that your display should only be loaded for one specific character.
- Player Class - Enable this to restrict your display to a single class.
- Talent Specialization - Enable this to restrict your display to a specific talent tree. This should usually be used in conjunction with the Player Class option, but it doesn't have to be.
- Zone - Enable this to restrict your display to a given zone, e.g. "Icecrown Citadel". This is especially useful for displays triggered by boss-specific debuffs.
- Instance Type - Enable this restrict your display to a specific type of instance.
- Dungeon Difficulty - Enable this restrict your display to either normal or heroic difficulty.
Some of the "Load" options can be set in either Single or Multiple mode. For example, if you have "Player Class" set to "Mage" Single mode, then the display will only be loaded on your Mage characters. Using Multiple mode will allow you to enable both "Mage" and "Priest", so that the display is loaded whenever you're playing a Mage or a Priest, but not any other class.
It is useful to make your "Load" settings for each display as specific as possible, for two reasons. First, it will make it easier for you to browse and search your displays, because the configuration window's display sidebar keeps Loaded and Unloaded displays in different sections. Second, WeakAuras does not need to check the triggers of non-loaded displays, which means displays that are not loaded will not use any CPU time. Ensuring displays are not loaded when they're not needed can improve your framerate (especially if you use a large number of displays).
The "Actions" tab allows you to specify side-effects for your display. On Show actions are executed whenever a display appears, and On Hide actions are executed whenever a display is hidden. Actions can be:
- Playing a sound
- Sending a chat message
- Running custom Lua code. See Custom Actions for more info.
The "Animations" tab allows you to specify animations for your display. There are three animation types: Start, Main, and Finish. The Start animation will play when your animation is shown. Once the Start animation is finished (or if there is no Start animation, immediately after the display is shown), the Main animation will play and loop indefinitely. Finally, the Finish animation will play *after* the display untriggers. This means that if you have, for example, a display whose trigger is the Prayer of Fortitude buff, the Finish animation will not start playing until you actually lose Prayer of Fortitude.
Each of these three animations has roughly the same settings. First, you can choose between no animation, a preset animation, or a custom animation. If you want to see the exact mechanics of each preset animation, the best way is simply to try them.
If you choose a custom animation, you will be presented with several sets of options. They are as follows:
- Duration - An animation needs a duration, or it will not play. *If* the trigger type of your display provides duration info (see Dynamic Information), you will be allowed to express the duration of the animation as a percentage of the duration. This allows you to use the progress of your animation as an indicator of the duration of your display's trigger, which is a powerful visual tool.
- Fade (In/Out) - Controls the alpha (transparency) of the display during the animation. The transparency will always transition from the alpha value you set in the "Display" tab to the alpha value you specify in the animation (or vice-versa for Start animations).
- Slide (In/Out) - Controls the position of the display during the animation.
- Zoom (In/Out) - Controls the size of the display during the animation, as a multiple of its "normal" size. This means that values of 1 for both X and Y Scale will not change the size of the display at all (at least for the Normal type).
- Rotate (In/Out) - Controls the rotation of the display during the animation.
A few caveats regarding animations:
- Start and Finish animations are not automatically played when you set them. Use the View button on the display sidebar to hide and show your display to test its Start and Finish animations.
- Start animations are always played in reverse. This is so the display ends up in its "normal" appearance once the Start animation is finished.
- Fade, Slide, Zoom, and Rotate options each have different "Type" options, which change the way they are applied. For example, by default, a Slide animation will simply move a display in a straight line, but using a different "Type" option can make it move in a circle instead. The best way to see how these options affect the appearance of the animation is to just try them out.
- Each option's "Type" field can be set to "Custom", which allows you to specify a custom animation path function. This is an advanced feature which requires knowledge of Lua code. See Custom Animation Functions for more info.
- Some display types cannot Zoom (Scale), and most cannot Rotate. This is essentially a limitation of the WoW client in general. More information about the animation capabilities of each display type can be found in Display Types.
WeakAuras provides two special display types, Group and Dynamic Group, which can have other displays as children. Grouping is a powerful feature of WeakAuras that allows you organize many displays and set their configurations all at once. More information about the specific capabilities of Groups and Dynamic Groups can be found in Display Types, but the general mechanics of grouping will be explained here.
Once you've created a Group or Dynamic Group-type display, it will not do anything or show anything on its own. You can add a child to your group by pressing "Group" on the sidebar button of the display you want to include. The sidebar buttons of a group operate slightly differently than a regular display:
- There is no "Loaded" indicator. Instead, there is an Expand/Collapse button. This simply determines whether all of the group's children will displayed on the sidebar.
- There is no Group button (sorry, you cannot put a group into another group).
- The View button controls the visibility of all the group's children. A closed eye indicates that all of the group's children are hidden, a fully open eye indicates that all of the group's children are force-shown, and a half-open eye indicates anything in between.
- The Delete button does *not* delete displays recursively. If a group has any children when you delete it, those children will merely be un-grouped.
When you select a group, it will have an extra tab called "Group", which controls group-specific settings (again, see the descriptions of Group and Dynamic Group on the Display Types page for more info). The rest of the tabs will still be present, but do not control the group itself. Instead, they allow you to change settings of all the group's children at once. This works as follows:
- If the children are not all the same type, the "Display" tab will be invalid. The other tabs will still be valid.
- On each tab, only the options that are shared by every child will be shown. If an option is shared by all children, but at least one of the children would display that option as disabled, the option will show as disabled.
- If the option has the same value for each child, it will be shown normally, in white. If any of the children has a differing value for that option, it will be shown in blue, and the tooltip for that option will show the value of each child for that option.
- Setting any option's value will copy that value to every child.
Other Considerations
- Display types and triggers were designed to be modular and separate from one another. This means that occasionally, they will share information in unexpected ways. See Dynamic Information for more information.
- Almost all UI options that are represented by sliders will accept values beyond what they display. Just type a value into the box below the slider.

Comments about Nashbar AT2 Mountain Bike:
Very well made with quality components. I found it to be too heavy though and will look for a lighter weight bike. Otherwise, good bike for the money.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good Value

About Me Casual/ Recreational
This is my second Nashbar AT-2. The first held up well for 5 years. As some parts have worn, it is now my backup. The total price paid for both bikes is still less than many folks pay for one bike from other vendors.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
First offroad mountain bike
By Mike
from Schaumburg, IL
Pretty awesome for the money. Miles above another sub $300 bike out there. Bought this bike to get into offroad mountain biking (trail riding). Went trail riding the other day (first time) and the bike was amazing, handles great, shocks are a bit soft for riding on road even when stiffened up. Bike is pretty heavy for long on road rides. Bike seems extremely durable also. Hitting small jumps, rolling over trees the thing held up nicely. Also it isn't too hard to build and is easy to learn. Video on YouTube on setting it up was a good help. Overall great bike and looking forward to hitting more trails this summer!!

great value mountain bike
By Lucius D
from Albuquerque, NM
great bike for the price. paid < $300 shipped when it went on sale. excellent parts for this price range.biggest con: poor setup instructions. if you aren't familiar with modern bicycles and disc brakes and the like, the unboxing-to-riding time could be significant. however, if you are familiar, it's easy enough to figure out what goes where.definitely recommended overall. i'm very happy with my purchase.
Great bike
By Nicole
from Santa Barbara, CA
Great bike, came packaged nicely. A little difficult to build if you don't know what you're doing, that being said there is a video on YouTube by nashbar that walks you through it step by step. About a couple days after purchase, the chain seized up but it was an easy fix. I recommend getting a different seat though!

Excellent Bike! Easy Assembly
By Roy
from Macon, GA
My wife and I decided to make biking our cardio routine of choice, and these bikes are great. We purchased the Nashbar Kid Karriage II for our 14 month old too, and he loves going for rides with us. We go to different state parks in the area 3 times a week, and ride between 5 - 10 miles. The bikes are holding up well.
Awesome bike.
By Honest Reviewer
from Charleston SC
Very nice bike. Easy to assemble (although the handle bars were connected to the stem backwards). Yeah, the handle bars and the stem arrived connected and the two were obviously not connected to post for shipping. So, I slide the stem over the post and thought, this looks odd. No big deal, someone must have been in a hurry when they put the two together. Disconnected the stem, flipped the handlebars so the breaks, shifters, and pads were oriented correctly, and secured everything. Great bike for driving to work or hitting the local greenway.
Very nice bike for the price.
By Brian
from Patuxent River, MD
Purchased as a replacement to a AT1 29er which I sold to a friend. The quality of the AT2 is very good. Shipping was fast and packaging was excellent. Assembly was a breeze.
GREAT BIKE @ a GREAT PRICE
By PALI
from TEXAS
This is an exceptional quality bike for the price. This is the second that I purchased (purchased same for my oldest son two years ago) and they keep getting better and better. Components have held up, just changed the rear derailer after two years of hard riding. I love the blackout look on this bike too. Easy to put together. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A BIKE I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE. ITS EASILY A $400+ BIKE AT BIKE STORE.
Nice bike
By Charlie
from Bay area, ca
The bike is great if your on a budget. The seat and handlebars must go. Other than that it's a great bike. It is heavy.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Monks I love these I love these. They are typically hard and chewy but if you put the roll in your pocket for a while it will soften but they will still be chewy. Great flavor and more of a tropical fruity flavor. Everyone that I have ever introduced them to loves them too. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CandyLover Great Gummies I freeze my Gummies all the time. These are firm and have a great flavor. Next time I'll buy a box if they have one. These aren't your kids Gummies but are great. Try them, you might like them. January 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Armanestra Wish I Could Give 0 Stars... Bought this today. These "fruit gums" were extremely hard to chew and inedible. Not sure if the batch I got were old (expiration date wasn't until next year) or if it's supposed to be like this? I even tried to microwave them a little to be softer, but it didn't work. The little amount I did actually eat stuck to my teeth so much I was afraid my fillings would come out. December 1, 2012

follow this link, it probably will motivate you
Google search for 'pays million $ patent' [4] - just read the abstracts of the first 20 google pages, you don't need to follow the links
http://webshop.ffii.org [5] - scary examples of european patents
The problem is, that many companys just reinvent things, that were already freely available to the public.
- For example the major telecomunications company Telekom in germany reinvented SPAM-Filters last year (granted patent DE10243243B4) and Siemens just reinventet CVS, SVN, rsync and similar tools (granted patent DE10319887B4).
This is like claiming to be the first who used a wheel in 2006!
So what has to be done to avoid such unbelievable behavior? Please take a look at our Milestones [6].
The State of the Art decides, whether an invention is new or not.
State of the Art are all publicly available documents. Additional to books or magazines, there are all websites, programs, and sourcecode that are freely available in the Internet.
One major problem is to give evidence that some online ressource was already available at some given date.
Printing all freely available Web-Sites, programs and Source-Codes in some kind of magazine could be an option, but much better is to integrate legal timestamping services into all OSS repositories. So there would be evidence even for only electronically available data! If you have ideas on how this could work out, please feel free to contribute to our Milestones [6].
- Create standards for tagging or categorization that can be used by all OSS repositories for location and evaluation of OSS.
- By knowing the USPTO searches the tags, authors can help provide their software as prior art to stop weak patents from issueing.

However, since I've got sensitive eyes, I am not sure if this particular mascara works for me and won't cause any irritation or burning sensation to my eyes. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Please advise me. Thank you. Oct 5, 2014

So, uh – guys. We've been super duper holding out on y'all. There's this secret invite only party we've been going to for a few months in Jersey (yeah, Jersey) that is all kinds of amazing. Basically, a talented photographer/videographer by the name of Tone (that many New York heads may be familiar with) started a live music series at his loft featuring upcoming talent called Live At The Loft.
For those unable to snag an invite, we're going to start sharing some of our favorite videos with you. You'll definitely want to check out the Live At The Loft site for previous performances, which include Chico Mann, Muhsinah, Jesse Boykins III, Full Crate and Mar, Cubic Zirconia, Melo X, and Fresh Daily. Yep. Thank us later.
Without further ado, here's one of our favorite recent performances featuring Los Angeles' Afta-1. The gorgeous video perfectly captured the mellow mood and just dropped last night! This is taking us back and making us relive the sexiness in a whole new way. Very much awesome.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...

Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Acquired company comes with Cellumen's Cellular Systems Biology IP and assets. [© Alexander Raths - Fotolia]
U.K.-based preclinical ADME services specialist Cyprotex is buying U.S.preclinical CRO Apredica for £2.68 million (about $4.26 million) in cash and shares. The deal follows immediately on from Apredica's acquisition of Cellumen's Cellular Systems Biology (CSB™) platform and high-content toxicology services.
Cyprotex says taking over Apredica and the latter's newly acquired assets will speed its entry into the predictive mechanistic toxicology services market, a move that will be boosted further by the opening of Cyprotex' new U.K. toxicology laboratory in October. The combined company will effectively allow Cyprotex to offer its customers 11 additional services, primarily in toxicology, and double its share in the U.S. ADME toxicology market, the firm states.
Cellumen's CSB IP acquired by Apredica involves analysis of the interacting network of genes, proteins, and metabolic processes involved in both normal and abnormal cellular functioning. Cellumen claims that rather than analyzing one to several cellular parameters as performed in standard high-content screening assays, the CSB approach allows the profiling of many more cellular parameters that represent a cellular systems response. The CSB profile generated identifies key systems response parameters that define the state of the cellular system, such as a cellular model of disease, toxicity profile, or patient sample profile. Proprietary panels of biomarkers and reagents are used in each application, and a database of response profiles is maintained for potential predictive capabilities.
New technologies such as Cellumen's CSB platform will "simultaneously improve our ability to detect mechanisms of human toxicity, reduce the time and cost of developing safe and efficacious drugs, and pave the way toward developing toxicology models that are more predictive of human biology than currently available models," comments Katya Tsaioun, Ph.D., Apredica CEO, who has been appointed Cyprotex CSO. "As human biology-based models improve, they will reduce and ultimately replace animal toxicology models." Apredica recorded revenues of £1.05 million (about $1.64 million) in 2009, and an annual growth rate of 72%. The firm says it currently has 173 customers worldwide.

The automatic waterer drinker our competitors don't want you to know about!
And Here's Why……..
Our philosophy here at the Bar-Bar-A is that water and electricity don't mix. Add a horse into the equation and you can imagine the potential for danger and problems.
The reason we do not need electricity for our livestock water feeders is that there is no standing water in the unit. The unit is either filling or draining. As a result there is no water left to freeze in the winter or get scalding hot in the summer. With no standing water there is no possibility for slimy algae growth. This means that you don't have the weekly cleaning of algae found in horse tanks and even other automatic animal waterers.
One of the main purposes of purchasing an automatic waterer drinker is to limit the amount of work in watering your animals. Why buy an automatic waterer drinker just so you can clean algae every week from stagnant water?
Bar-Bar-A has been successfully watering horses the easy way for over 25 years. Horses learn quickly and have ready access to fresh water. In the summertime hot water in traditional automatic waterer drinker, tanks, or buckets, limit water consumption. Decreased water consumption results in more trips to the Vet and limited mental and body function.
Whether you are in the hot hill country of Texas or the frosty New York Adirondacks, Bar-Bar-A gives your horses what they need- Clean, Fresh, Water at the right temperature- and all this without algae and without electricity.
Horses– enjoy fresh tasting water without all the algae that can grow in stagnant standing water. From 4 models to choose from you can customize to fit your situation.
Happy Watering With Your Very Own Automatic Horse Waterer Drinker System.
And…. Electric Blackouts and You're Still in Business

1. Acme Burger Companyis featuring heirloom tomato caprese salad-perfect meat-free Monday which is perfect for hot end-o-summer days.
ed. note: This is not an actual representation of Acme's caprese salad-like so many restaurants, Acme irritatingly did not include a photo with their press release about the salad. When are restaurant PR people going to wake up and realize that to get the exposure they want, they need to send words AND pictures. Webmasters look down on unillustrated posts. Rather than get in trouble with my WM (also known as Andrew) I borrowed this image from steamykitchen. com.
2. If you prefer high protein and high altitude, Log Haven is continuing its steak & lobster summer blockbuster menu 7 days a week for only $35 on one of the prettiest outdoor settings along the Wasatch.
Ed. note: Please read above ed. note for explanation of why this image is so small.
3. At Bambara, chef Nathan Powers is keeping "Campfire Ice Cream" on the menu through August. He created the dessert in July, but National Smores Day was August 10, so how could he move on? See the recipe below. It has real toasted marshmallows in it.
4. Tuesday evening's Farmers Market at Pioneer Park featured mountains and mountains of bushels of fresh Utah corn on the cob. (And only two dogs!)
5. There's a box of Creamies in my freezer. (My doctor makes me buy the low-fat ones, but they're still pretty good.)
BAMBARA SUMMER CAMPFIRE ICE CREAM SUNDAE yield 10 portions
4 cups cream 4 cups half and half 12 egg yolks 3/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups marshmallows charred 3/4 cups dark chocolate chopped 3/4 cups graham crackers chopped
In a sauce pan, combine the milk, the half and half, and half of the sugar. Cook over medium heat until simmering. In a mixer, combine the yolks and the sugar, whip until very thick. Remove yolk mixture from mixer and slowly stir in half the amount of the cream mix. Now pour egg mix back into remaining cream and milk and place back over low heat and cook stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. Remove from heat and then strain and cool completely. Place the base in an ice cream machine.
Over an open flame, char the marshmallow until dark brown. Turn on the ice cream machine. When the mixture is near frozen, fold in charred marshmallows and chopped grahams and chocolate. Remove and store in the freezer.
To serve, scoop the ice cream into a tall pilsner glass, layering in more grahams, chocolate chunks and chocolate sauce.
Garnish with a paper plate and a cold beer.

In this post, Rock Hall curator Meredith Rutledge-Borger, who traveled to the UK to collect and research for a new 2-Tone Records exhibit, shares background on the label and its lasting impact on popular culture.
Between 1979 and 1986, the 2-Tone label released 28 singles – 20 of which charted in the U.K. – including hits by the Specials, the Selecter, Madness, the Bodysnatchers and the Beat (known as the English Beat outside of the U.K.). Although only the English Beat –and to a lesser extent, Madness – ever had much success outside of the U.K., the 2-Tone movement combined infectious dance music and progressive ideals to confront the status quo. 2-Tone laid the groundwork for the success of such American artists as the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Toasters, Fishbone, Smash Mouth, Sublime, Reel Big Fish, the Pietasters and the multi-platinum selling No Doubt.
2-Tone was a group of black and white kids from Coventry, Birmingham and London, England – white punk rockers and black rude-boys and -girls who stood against the economic policies of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government and the Neo-Nazi National Front, promoted racial harmony through the irresistible and exuberant rhythm of ska music and revolutionized the British music scene. Jerry Dammers, 2-Tone mastermind, keyboardist and songwriter for the movement's forward guard shock troops, the Specials, told Mojo magazine: "We were aiming for revolution. We were trying to change minds."
Coventry, center of the British auto industry, had been known as "the Detroit of Britain." However, by the late Seventies, with an unemployment rate above 20 percent and youth and violent crime rates spiking, hard times had come to Coventry – and most of the U.K. Specials' lead singer Terry Hall recalled: "Coventry was such a violent, dead-end place. So many people were losing their jobs. It was depressing."
"Nothing positive seemed to happen in Coventry," said Specials' guitarist Roddy Radiation. "It was a forgotten place, given over to drinking and fighting. That's why we were in a group. We wanted to go a different way."
"I had wanted to get a band together for some time," said Dammers. "I was playing in all sorts of soul bands and club bands….I wanted to do my own songs. The whole punk thing opened up the way. It gave me the confidence to do my own thing. It made you realize that anything was possible." Dammers formed the Specials with bassist Horace Panter, guitarists Roddy Radiation and Lynval Golding, drummer John Bradbury and vocalists Terry Hall and Neville Staple in 1977. They played ska music, described by Panter as: "The music that predated reggae, ska was a combination of traditional Caribbean mento rhythms and the R&B walking bass backbeat that late 1950s Jamaicans were hearing on their radios when they tuned into American stations." The first ska records were released in Jamaica in 1960, and the sound soon travelled to England, where it took the dance halls and house parties by storm. In ska music, the Specials found the perfect fit for their punk and reggae roots. "We were playing a music that combined black and white influences, that was united," said Dammers.
Using Berry Gordy's Motown as a blueprint for a record label was fitting for a group of ambitious and soulful kids from the Detroit of Britain. With "an agenda for social change resulting in racial harmony," Dammers and his gang of rude-boys and punks created the 2-Tone label. Dammers designed its black-and-white checkered logo and rude-boy symbol "Walt Jabsco," so-called after a name on a thrift shop-purchased bowling shirt. The first release on the 2-Tone label, "Gangsters," backed with "The Selecter," was shared between the Specials and fellow Coventry band the Selecter, which featured Neol Davies, Dammers' old bandmate, and charismatic rude-girl frontwoman Pauline Black. The Selecter's 1979 2-Tone single, "On My Radio" reached Number Eight on the U.K. chart, while their album, Too Much Pressure, reached Number Five.
Voices from outside of Coventry soon began spreading the ska gospel as Camden Town's own Madness became part of the 2-Tone congregation. Madness released its first single, "The Prince," in October 1979, the same month that they joined a 40-date 2-Tone tour of Britain along with the Specials and the Selecter. "The Nutty Boys" – as Madness are affectionately known – would eventually become the 2-Tone group most embraced by its nation. The Madness body of work, the group's longevity and its distinctive "Britishness" has embedded the group in the British consciousness. The group became an archetype of British culture, performing on the roof of Buckingham Palace for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and at the 2012 Olympics' closing ceremony. Birmingham's the Beat released their 2-Tone debut, "Tears of a Clown" in January 1980. The Beat eventually established their own Go Feet label, following the 2-Tone example of the Specials. The Beat's Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger would go on to form General Public with the Specials' Panter, while Beat guitarist Andy Cox and bassist David Steele formed Fine Young Cannibals with vocalist Roland Gift. 2-Tone returned to Coventry to round out its label roster with the all-female Bodysnatchers, fronted by Rhoda Dakar. The Bodysnatchers hit the charts with their singles "Let's Do Rock Steady" and "Easy Life."
The U.K. anthem during the summer of 1981 was the Specials' Number One hit "Ghost Town," though the hope and progressive spirit of the 2-Tone movement had given way to violence at Specials' gigs as skinheads and rude-boys clashed. The U.K. erupted in riots against Thatcherite policies and streets were set ablaze in Brixton, Birmingham and Liverpool. By October 1981, the Specials split, with Golding, Hall and Neville Staples forming Fun Boy Three. Dammers continued to record as the Special A.K.A., recruiting Bodysnatchers' lead singer Dakar. In 1984, the Special A.K.A. recorded the anti-apartheid anthem "Nelson Mandela," demanding the release of the decades-imprisoned civil rights leader who would eventually become the first black president of South Africa. By 1986, 2-Tone had released its last single and all of the groups had dissolved, although various configurations of the Specials, the Selecter, the Beat and Madness continue to tour. Specials' bassist Panter may have said it best when describing 2-Tone's legacy: "(We) took the spirit of the time and turned it from negative, apathetic and nihilistic to positive. We changed the way kids dressed, danced and thought."

This installment: another cozy island novel, an exhilarating Wild West extravaganza, and a scary psychological thriller.
Island Apart by Steven Raichlen
I've hit a spate of "island" books recently. The ingredients: local charm, personal interactions intensified by close quarters, the Beauty of Nature. This one is a contemporary fairy tale. Claire comes to Chappaquiddick to restore herself after cancer and to work on editing a biography of Wilhelm Reich. She and a hermit who's lived under the radar for years find each other, slowly by fits and starts. They gain mutual trust, partly over food. They're both excellent, innovative cooks and the detailed feasts are amazing. Of course the Dark Secret emerges and--whew--is resolved. A little hokey but certainly readable and I found the Reich material a bonus.
Magic Words by Gerald Kolpan
Subtitle: the tale of a Jewish boy-interpreter, the world's most estimable magician, a murderous harlot, and America's greatest Indian chief. Yes, indeed, that almost says it all. There's a Penny Dreadful quality to this wild tale but also chunky bits of history and lore. For instance, the Trail of Tears and a crusading newspaperman who brought some justice after the fact. Lots of ambition, desperation, and adventure. The characters, often bigger than life, have some depth as well. I often had to suspend disbelief though many events are based on historical happenings, but enjoyed the crazy mix of cultures and the colorful atmosphere.
Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes
The author is a British police intelligence analyst and it shows in this intense story of a relationship gone bad. Catherine snags Lee and can't believe her good luck. But his dark side soon appears and things get very scary. The story comes out in alternating short chapters, from before and after. It shows how helpless a woman can feel, especially if her charming, charismatic lover even has the power to turn her friends against her. Catherine manifests her ongoing anxiety in crippling OCD behaviors but a new neighbor, Stuart, offers a way out. He's a psychologist, they get involved, and ultimately he helps her find the courage to literally face her biggest fears. Gripping.

Kisame's would-be fatal attack is blocked by Gama, and Jiraiya tells the two Akatsuki members that cheap tricks like putting a young woman under genjutsu would never work on him. Standing to his feet again, Sasuke tells the Sannin to stay out of his own fight, but is easily beaten down by Itachi who tells his brother that he was still too weak and he still hasn't mustered enough hatred. Deeming it necessary to make him stronger, Itachi activated Tsukuyomi and forced Sasuke to relive his parent's and other clan member's death. As Naruto rushes forward to aid his comrade, Kisame prepared to attack him, but Jiraiya uses the Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind technique to stop the two Akatsuki members. The entire area became the oesophagus of the Mountain Toad, with Kisame's foot and sword already starting to be absorbed as Jiraiya began explaining his technique. Sasuke was absorbed into the wall, thus being saved from Itachi. Itachi instructed Kisame to come with him, knowing that the only way they could survive this technique was to escape. Itachi was forced to use Amaterasu to burn a hole in the toad's oesophagus, allowing them to escape. Jiraiya later sealed away the flames. As Jiraiya and Naruto were checking on Sasuke, Guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked the Sannin in the face with his Dynamic Entry. He had thought that Naruto and Jiraiya were Itachi and Kisame after using the reflection from his forehead protector to check what was ahead. He had seen two figures in the dull reflection, so he had automatically assumed that Itachi and Kisame were still there. Naruto thought back on Sasuke's defeat at Itachi's hands. He resolved to go after Itachi and Kisame for doing that to Sasuke, but was quickly shot down by a more realistic Jiraiya, who knew that Naruto was nowhere near Itachi and Kisame's league. Naruto learned about Kakashi having been injured, and Guy talked about needing a medical specialist to help, not only with Kakashi and Sasuke, but with Lee as well. Jiraiya told Guy the person he needed was who they were searching for: the healing specialist, queen of slugs and elixirs, legendary Sannin, and failed gambler, Tsunade.

"By the end of the night I want you to tell me what shape my earrings are so you all better move up front," welcomed The Watson Twins to the thin but enthusiastic crowd at Salt Lake City's The State Room. The Watson Twins, ala real life identical twins Leigh & Chandra Watson, made their second visit to Salt Lake Tuesday night, this time as a headlining act in support of their newest release Talking To You, Talking To Me, or as they affectionately refer to it as TTY, TTM.
Originally from Kentucky and now living in the hipster neighborhood of L.A.'s Los Feliz, the sisters started their recording careers with Jenny Lewis, as Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins recording the 2006 album Rabbit Fur Coat while simultaneously releasing their first album Southern Roots under the Vanguard label.
With the twins new album Talking To You, Talking To Me, The Watson's vocals and songwriting has matured from an alt/country/indie sound to something more polished and their own. Swooning with velvety touches of their Southern roots with a splash of Portishead and a twist of classic R&B, their harmonies and music meld in an oh-so-groovy vibe.
On stage the twins were funny personal and approachable, joking with one another and the crowd, all the while grooving in their obviously-they-are-runners-short-skirts and oh so hot cowboy boots. "We had them put these tables down on the floor so we could see some table dancing tonight. So let's see some dancing."
[caption id="attachment_3271" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Chanda and Leigh rocking the leg"][/caption]
Supported by Kip Boardman on organ, Harris Kidman on bass and birthday boy Eddie Benrock on drums, the twins' set list flowed between new and old releases including TTY, TTM's Devil in You featuring guest guitarist Mitch Townsend (a Watson Twin's alum who just happened to be playing the same night at SLC's Urban Lounge) and a sexy cover of Sade's Sweetest Taboo. Referring to the recent floods in Tennessee where most of their family now lives, Leigh quipped, "We would have been big in Nashville if Chandra hadn't written the song Harpeth River . She wrote it and then the floods came. That's the last time we'll write a song with a prediction in it." The vocals and harmonies of Harpeth River and Midnight most relect the Portishead influence, and sent me to a sublime, lazy, winter-snow-falling afternoon. Ahhhhh.
One of their best songs of the night was a remake of The Cure's Just Like Heaven, recently released on HBO's Grammy-nominated True Blood soundtrack. How could one of my all time favorite 80's songs possibly be improved upon? The Watson Twins flipped it, massaged it and created an amazing, sexy sound totally their own. I can see why it was picked up for the vampire's steamy sex scene. For me? Sorry Robert Smith, I think you've been replaced.
After a quick exit backstage, The Watson Twins emerged as a duo for an encore with just one guitar. As Chandra beelined to the center of the State Room dance floor Leigh uttered, "I'm not sure what we're doing, I'm just following her," and with the lights hung low the Twins serenaded the crowd (yes I mean right smack dab in front of me and my husband) sans microphone with a lovely, lovely harmony. I have no idea what the song was called, but it was beautiful and made me think I was sitting at a Lake Powell campfire under the stars listening to their voices so pure, so close. It was a such a pleasure and that moment reflects the true charm and style of what is at the heart of The Watson Twins.
