The Rankings: Arizona remains unranked in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls. The Cats started the season unranked for just the fourth time in the last 24 seasons.

Last Time Out: Six different Wildcats scored points in a decisive 17-2 run that covered 5:31 of the first half as Arizona pulled away from Rice, 84-57, Wednesday in its first true road game of the season. Derrick Williams posted his second double-double of the season (18 pts./10 reb.) to lead four Cats in double figures. Arizona limited Rice to .375 shooting and outrebounded the Owls, 36-25, in building as much as a 28-point lead.
Scouting Oklahoma: The Sooners enter today's game with a 3-4 record (0-0 Big 12) following Wednesday's 84-74 loss at Arkansas. On the season, Oklahoma averages 69.7 points, shoots 45.9 percent from the floor (175-of-382), 35.0 percent (48-of-137) from three-point range and 72.0 percent (90-of-125) from the line. Opponents average 67.7 points, are outrebounded by 5.6 boards per game and shoot 43.8 percent from the floor (167-of-381). Individually, three Sooners average in double-figures, led by Cade Davis' 15.6 ppg average. Andrew Fitzgerald leads OU with a 6.3 rebounds per game average.
The Series: This afternoon's game is the seventh meeting of the two schools with Oklahoma holding a 5-1 series advantage. The Sooners have won the last three meetings in the series, which dates back to April 2, 1988, including the last by a 79-62 count on Dec. 6, 2009, in Norman. Of the six previous meetings, three have come in the NCAA Tournament. All-time, Arizona is 1-0 in series games played in Tucson, 0-2 in Norman, Okla., and 0-3 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 44 in the UA media guide.
Last Meeting: Oklahoma 79, Arizona 62, Dec. 6, 2009: Willie Warren scored 17 of his game-high 25 points in the first half as Oklahoma pulled away early. Five of the Sooners' first seven field goal were treys to propel OU to a double-digit lead in the first eight minutes. Oklahoma limited Arizona to 33 percent shooting and forced nine turnovers in the first half in building an 18-point lead at intermission. Nic Wise (15), Jamelle Horne (13) and Derrick Williams (11) each finished in double figures for the Wildcats.
Against the Big 12: All-time, Arizona is 65-69 (.485) against schools that currently reside in the Big 12 Conference. The last time the Wildcats faced a Big 12 club was Nov. 27, 2010, when then-sixth-ranked Kansas defeated Arizona, 87-79, in Las Vegas. For a conference breakdown, see page 47 in the UA media guide.
Off to a Good Start: Arizona has held the lead at the half in six of seven games this season, and much of the credit could go to the defense. The Cats are limiting opponents to .402 shooting (70-of-174) and just 26.9 points in the opening period to date. Wednesday at Rice, UA held the Owls to just 30 percent shooting (6-of-20) in the first half, and Rice's six field goals were a UA opponent low in any half this year. Only three times this season have opponents shot better than 40 percent against Arizona so far. For good measure, Arizona is forcing an average of 9.1 turnovers in the first half.
And Closing Strong: Through seven games, the Wildcats have finished strongly as well, outscoring opponents by an average of 12.4 points in the final 20 minutes. In that period, Arizona shoots .530 percent (97-of-183) from the floor and scored 40 or more points six times in seven games. Wednesday at Rice, Arizona shot 66.7 percent from the field (16-of-24) and tallied 47 points in the final 20 minutes.
On target: It's certainly a benefit for any team to go on the road and shoot 56.6 percent (30-of-53) from the floor, as was the case Wednesday at Rice. The effort was on par with what the Cats have done all season, which is connect on 51.2 percent (193-of-377) of its field goal attempts this year. UA has topped the 50-percent shooting plateau four times in seven games. The 50-percent shooting plateau has proved meaningful in the Sean Miller era, as the Cats are 11-0 when accomplishing the feat.
Step Back: Bolstered by Jamelle Horne's 4-of-7 effort Wednesday, Arizona equaled a season high with 11 three-point field goals at Rice. UA connected on 11-of-26 (.423) attempts from behind the arc and moved the team's three-point field goal percentage to .378 (62-of-164) on the season. Wednesday's game marked the second consecutive and third time overall that Arizona has tallied 10 or more treys in a game this season. Overall, UA averages 8.9 treys per game.
Reversal of Fortune: Throughout this season, Arizona has outshot and outscored its opponents from the free throw line. To dates, UA has attempted 28 more free throws (180-152) and made 40 more (141-101), or an average of 5.7 more points per game. However, in the last two games opponents have attempted and made more free throws than has Arizona . In that span, opponents are 39-of-58 (.672) from the stripe, while Arizona is 28-of-35 (.800).
Seeking Balance: Since his arrival in Tucson, Sean Miller has preached the benefits of a balanced offensive attack. Granted the Wildcats do have quite a weapon in Derrick Williams (20.6 ppg), but overall the points come from just about everyone. To date, eight Wildcats are averaging 5.0 points or better and each of those players have scored in double figures at least once. This year's team is averaging a robust 84.1 points per game, 12.2 points better than last season. UA hasn't averaged more than 80 points per game for a season since 2003-04 (87.1 ppg).
Controlling the Boards: For the sixth time in seven games, Arizona won the rebounding battle, Wednesday posting a 36-25 rebound advantage over Rice. Arizona's +11.6 rebound margin leads the Pac-10 Conference. One of the reasons why the Cats have enjoyed such a comfortable margin on the glass is the fact that UA has made it hard for opponents to simply get to the ball. Opponents are averaging just 26.3 rebounds per game - a Pac-10 best in terms of rebound defense - and those foes have managed to grab 30 or more rebounds in a game only twice this season. Incidentally, Arizona has yet to be outrebounded this season, as Santa Clara equaled UA, 30-30, on Nov. 26.
Doubling Up: Forward Derrick Williams collected his second double-double of the season Wednesday, registering 18 points and 10 rebounds in 24 minutes of action. The 6-foot-8 sophomore from La Mirada, Calif., connected on 7-of-8 field goals, grabbed five offensive and five defensive boards, and collected two steals in the effort. It was the sixth double-double of his career.
A Simple Goal: The simple and obvious goal of basketball is to put the ball in the hoop, and few players are doing that as efficiently as Derrick Williams. The 6-foot-8 forward ranks second in the Pac-10 with a .671 (47-of-70) field goal percentage, and no player ranked in the top 10 has as many field goal attempts as Williams' 70 (through games of Dec. 2). Additionally, Williams is shooting .800 (8-of-10) from three-point range, a figure that also currently leads the Pac-10.
A Good Sign: Sophomore guard Lamont Jones notched his second consecutive double-figure scoring game of the season on Wednesday. The 6-foot native of Harlem, N.Y., connected on 5-of-8 field goals, equaled a season-high with four rebounds and passed out three assists. MoMo continues to look more comfortable in the starting point guard role with a positive assist:turnover ratio (1.1:1). A third straight game in double figure for Jones would equal a career best.
Back on Top: A year after sharing the team lead with 50 three-point field goals, senior forward Jamelle Horne re-established himself in that same position Wednesday by connecting on 4-of-7 attempts from behind the arc at Rice. The effort propelled him to a season-high 15 points and moved him into the team lead with 13 treys to date. On the season, Horne averages 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds, while shooting 48.9 percent (22-of-45) from the field and 40.6 percent (13-of-32) from three-point range.
Steady: Freshman Jordin Mayes put forth another solid effort Wednesday, tallying 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting to register his first career game in double figures. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound native of Los Angeles, Calif., also equaled highs for rebounds (3) and three-point field goals (2) while in Houston. He currently averages 6.7 points and 1.7 assists per game while shooting .515 (17-of-33) from the field.
Now It's Official: While the totals may seem modest - two points, a rebound and an assist in two minutes of action - the numbers were noteworthy as junior Dondre Wise scored his first career points Wednesday in his hometown. The 6-foot-1 guard broke into the scoring column with a pair of free throws with 1:12 remaining. He grabbed his first career rebound 47 seconds later.
Scoring 80: Arizona scored 84 points Wednesday at Rice, topping the 80-point barrier for the fifth time this year. Perhaps no statistic is more telling of UA success, as the squad is 191-19 (.910) since the start of the 1997-98 season when scoring at least 80 points. Arizona was 6-0 last season when topping the 80-point plateau.
Early Signees: The Arizona coaching staff signed three student-athletes to National-Letter-of-Intent in the November early signing period. Nick Johnson (G, 6-2, 180) from Gilbert, Ariz., who preps at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev.; Sidiki Johnson (F, 6-8, 220) from the Bronx, N.Y, who preps at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va.; and Josiah Turner (G, 6-3, 185) from Sacramento, Calif., Sacramento High School; make up a class that was ranked in the top-10 nationally by both espn.com and rivals.com.
Up Next: Following this afternoon's game, Arizona concludes the two-game homestand by hosting Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, Dec. 8. Tip-off in McKale Center is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST and can be seen on KWBA and Fox College Sports.

There will be fewer floats and puppets and less music along New York's Village Halloween Parade route this year.
But despite the stumbling economy, organizers remained determined to make the famously outlandish event bigger and better than ever.
Due to cuts in funding and sponsors, there'll be seven floats, down from about 20. Street lights will suffice for the previous years' expensive illumination.
Organizers normally commission 10 artists to make "giant visuals" such as puppets. But not this year, organizers said.
None of the movie and record companies are sponsors this year in contrast to last year, the 25th anniversary of the release of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," when Sony was a sponsor, organizers said.
Still, Jeanne Fleming, who's been the artistic and producing director for the past 29 years, said the parade is about more than money.
"There's a civic responsibility we have that goes much further than money," Fleming said. "It adds to the city's cultural and imaginative life. We did the parade seven weeks after 9/11 on $22,000. We took care of the spirits. That's our job. We have to do our job whether we have the money or not."
"When you have a New York City tradition," Fleming continued, "that means as much to the city as this does spiritually, creatively, financially, you don't just say, 'We don't have the money, we're closing up the shop.'"
If the parade were to be canceled, Fleming predicted, the city's restaurants, clubs, and subway system would lose millions of dollars in revenue. Worse, she said, the city "would lose its reputation." Which is maybe why NYC & Company, the city's tourism arm, donated $5,000 to the parade, according to Fleming.
Fleming, who said she's not being paid for her work this year, emphasized that the parade is a "true cultural phenomenon of America" that expresses New Yorkers' creativity and what's on their minds through costumes. It's not, she said, a business.
The economic challenge has compelled many artists to pull together to make the parade happen, she said.
Some bands and other artists, for example, are offering their services for a smaller fee, she said.
While some sponsors have pulled out, others have cut back. For example, The Village Voice is sponsoring one float, down from two, Fleming said.
And Fleming believes timing is on the parade's side this year. Halloween falls on a Saturday, and in tough economic times people are always in search of free entertainment.
"The costumes are going to be great because people will have all day Saturday to work on their costumes," she said. "They're going to stay out late. It's just we don't have any money."

Guest Post
Elizabeth Ekhart
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It also may be the most expensive and environmentally impactful. For the 2.5 million weddings that take place each year in the United States, there is, on average: 62 tons of carbon dioxide emitted; 400-600 lbs of waste produced; and a cost of $28,427 incurred. In one day, you are producing a carbon footprint that is larger than your yearly carbon footprint. Just imagine if every bride and groom were to be eco-conscious while planning their wedding — think about the impact on the environment and the amount of waste that could be reduced! Below are a few easy-to-implement ways to green up your wedding while saving money, helping your local economy, reducing travel time, and creating less waste.
Location, location, location:
The location of your wedding is extremely important, especially for your guests. Try to make sure that you choose a wedding location that is close to the majority of your guests. As romantic as destination weddings are, the amount of fuel used to travel to a remote area is harmful to the environment. Another great idea is to recommend carpooling to your guests and keep the ceremony and reception in a centralized area with a short distance between the two so people can simply walk to the reception venue.
Buy Locally:
The food you offer and your wedding, as well as the flowers you use to decorate, are a significant portion of your wedding budget. Flowers, especially, can have a huge impact on the environment, from the fertilizers they require to transportation emissions. An eco-friendly alternative would be to find local vendors, such as Utah-based LeCroissant Catering and R.A.B Floral, who incorporate local ingredients or grow flowers locally. Some catering vendors utilize local wines, beers, and produce to reduce the emissions and cost from transportation and also help boost the local economy. If you are a crafty bride with time on her hands before the big day, another option is to grow your own flowers, brew your own beer or get flowers from the farmers market and create your own bouquets and boutonnieres.
Recycle your wedding:
Wedding dresses are gorgeous but very expensive. On average, a wedding dress costs $1,211 and is only worn once. Unless you were in my mother's family, where all four sisters wore the same dress on their wedding day, or you do a "trash the dress" photo shoot, you will realistically only see that dress once in your life. Today, frugal and eco-conscious brides are now borrowing from brides who already spent the money on decor, accessories and even dresses. Websites such as Once Wed, Nearly Newlywed, and Recycle Your Wedding, are all great ways to either rent your wedding dress, accessories and decor, or get great deals on used items, sometimes over 50 percent off the original cost. Using recycled decor, such as antique teapots and used mason jars for your centerpiece, is a creative and beautiful way to display your local flowers. As rustic and vintage weddings are growing in popularity, you can bring nature inside, such as using leaves as place cards if you are having an autumn wedding, and even rent decorations to help save on cost and waste.
Rethink paper:
You use more paper on your wedding day than you may think. From the save-the-dates, to invitations and programs to the place cards, menus and thank you cards, you are spending tons of money and wasting a lot of paper on many products that will likely get tossed when it's all over. Many printing companies, such as Greenerprinter, offer recycled paper options for all your wedding paper goods. Or, rather than printing all your paper goods, have a local calligrapher write them for you to eliminate the energy used in the printing process and again, helping boost your local economy. Using postcards helps to eliminate the waste of envelopes. Another option is to send out digital announcements, like Jess and Russ, and Jenny and Grayden did.
Reduce waste:
On average, Utah brides still have the largest number of wedding guests, coming in at 209 on average, compared to the national average of 139. Keeping the guest list small is important in reducing the cost and waste of nearly every aspect of your wedding, from the food, to the decor, to the size of your venue. Rethink ordering a huge, 5-tier wedding cake, which most likely will be thrown out after you've had a few slices. Instead, go for a smaller cake decorated with beautiful local flowers. Be conscious when ordering food and drinks for your reception, and avoid creating a lot of waste. Also, think about your favors — will your guests actually use them, or will they end up in the trash? Make sure you are investing in a useable item, such as edibles, plants, seeds, and body products, so guests can actually use them.

It is difficult to pivot from recent history. Suddenly, the GOP has become born again. They are saying that they are backing off their attack on entitlements and necessities, but they haven't said how they intend to right the economy. When they do, it will probably sound a lot like Barack Obama, who to Democrats is sounding more like Republicans.
All of this is going to get confusing by Election 2014. Democrats pretty much know who they are. Republicans can't seem to decide in which of several buckets they belong.
- Right-wing ideological conservatives
- Corporate capitalists
- Wealthy American advocates
- Middle Class revivalists
By comparison, Democrats have one giant bucket into which there are separate buckets.
- Pro government advocates
- Social and environmental responsibility advocates
- Poor American advocates
- Middle Class preservationists
Common ground may be found in such issues as anti-nation building, immigration reform accommodation, and tax code simplification.
"GOP pivots in search of positive message
By Russell Berman - 02/03/14 06:00 AM EST
CAMBRIDGE, Md. – House Republicans are at a turning point.
A majority of them, having spent five years in opposition to President Obama — inviting Democrats to tag them as obstructive — are now intent on shaping a positive identity as the "alternative party" for voters in November's midterm elections.
This is a significant shift and a big risk.
A year ago, House Republicans were staggering after crushing defeats in fights over taxes and relief for victims of Hurricane Sandy. Now they are forging ahead on an alternative to ObamaCare and testing support for a move on immigration."

We SoCal residents are blessed with a great many amenities. From the climate to the people. From the food selections to entertainment. And if you are a Beatles fan on any level then you are hip to the fact that we are blessed with a great group of Beatles Tribute bands.
Tomorrow night in Downtown Fullerton "A Hard Day's Night: A Tribute to The Beatles" will rock the Continental Room with the sounds and harmonic vocal glory of those four lads from Liverpool.
The regular lads that make up this tribute are Frank Mendoca as Paul, Gilbert Bonilla as John, Omar Olivares as George and Rolo Sandoval as Ringo. And if you are lucky enough to attend a performance of the full tribute show you will also be entertained by George Trullinger as Ed Sullivan.
If you have never experience a Beatles tribute band, A Hard Days Night will certainly satisfy your Beatles craving. As musicians go these fellas do not disappoint. A tight, solid group that convey the spirit and intensity of what a Beatles LIVE performance might have been like during their touring years between 1963 and 1966. I have had the experience of attending two previous performances of HDN at the Continental Room and what I equate the experience to is probably what it may have been like to see and hear The Beatles during their Hamburg Germany years. The CR is a very small venue with an even smaller "clam Shell" style stage area that leaves the band very little room to perform. Those two scenarios result in a very close-quarter experience, oh and one other thing...the band plays LOUD!! It's an incredible experience.
Tomorrow at 9:00pm
The Continental Room, 115 West Santa Fe Ave. Fullerton, California

Kurt Vonnegut
April 22nd, 2007
Hearing that Kurt Vonnegut has died made me very sad. Since I'm on the move I don't have any of his books to hand to quote from, which has made me late to his wake. However yesterday I read a passage in an essay by another great American writer which sums up far more eloquently than I am able to the significance of people like Kurt Vonnegut. In "Down at the Cross", James Baldwin says:
"Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death – ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible to life: it is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as possible, for the sake of those who are coming after us." (The Fire Next Time, p123).
Vonnegut faced death both in the large, serving in the second world war where he was one of seven US POWs to survive the bombing of Dresden, and in the small, with the suicide of his mother and his sister's death from cancer. He wrote about the conundrums of life with an unparalleled power of observation and a deceptively simple honesty. He cut through hypocrisy with an oxyacetylene satirical fire with which he wrought a delightfully light, achingly funny conversational style. This fire was no doubt powered in part by the debilitating depression that made him at times suicidal. Nevertheless he never invoked any of the fetishes of nationalism or religion which so many of us use to deaden the pain of the human condition. Kurt Vonnegut has earned his death.
He is in heaven now.
Kurt Vonnegut, 11 November 1922 – 11 April 2007.

Q & A: HDL Cholesterol and Fasting
You hear a lot of LDL cholesterol, i.e. bad cholesterol, but HDL cholesterol—the good stuff—is just as important to heart health, especially when you're losing weight. In this quick discussion from Dr. Fuhrman's member center, he talks about LDL, HDL, weight-loss and fasting:
Question: My HDL went from 26 to 21. My cardiologist told me to eat more avocados to improve it. I did and my weight responded immediately. I gained weight. I think this was a bad idea. Am I right?
Also, I heard you say that the best treatment for heart disease is a combination of nutrition and fasting, but I read in your book it's not wise to fast if you're overweight. I went from 245 to 210 on Eat to Live in a few months, but I'm still overweight.
So I am confused. On the one hand, you say don't do fast when you're overweight, but on the other hand, you recommend fasting instead of do surgery.
Dr. Fuhrman: Listening to the nutritional advice of typical doctors is like asking your mailman for advice on your taxes. They typically have little knowledge or experience. Focusing on HDL and not your weight is a mistake.
A low HDL reading is of no practical consequence, just get rid of your plaque and keep LDL low. A high HDL can benefit a person with a higher LDL, but a low HDL does not hurt a person with a favorable, low LDL.
Weight loss is much more important than your lipid numbers because the plaque can be reduced most effectively once you have reached a lower body fat percentage, i.e. below 10%.

In the late 1990s, there were few rappers bigger than [artist id="1269″]Jay-Z[/artist], [artist id="1325″]DMX[/artist] and [artist id="508987″]Ja Rule[/artist]. Separately, each artist crafted a catalog of hits, toured the country and sold millions of records.
Now, imagine a supergroup comprised of the three. Well, that was Irv Gotti's vision, but the three alpha males only recorded a handful of songs and just couldn't get it together.
"Jay and X did not like each other at all. And it was always competitive," Irv revealed when he appeared on Wednesday's "RapFix Live."
DMX has recently voiced his disdain for Hov, but in the late 1990s, it appeared that the two were on a unified front. They frequently collaborated and even toured together, but according to Gotti, things weren't always as they seemed.
It all stemmed from an early battle, circa 1994, between Hov and the Dog, years before any one of them broke through. Though DMX was used to winning most of his battles decisively, nearly every account of the showdown revealed that it ended in a tie. "X hated Jay because it was the one battle that he said it wasn't absolutely sure in everyone's mind that he won," Irv said.
The quiet feud even spilled onto collaborative records. In 1995, Jigga, X and Ja Rule all appeared on Queens, New York, rapper Mic Geronimo's "Time to Build" track. By the time Hov got to the studio, DMX had already laid down the song's closing verse — a top honor for any rapper. "Jay goes, 'OK, he's closing the record? Yo, you think he's better than me?' " Gotti recalled Hovito asking.
Gotti remembers Jay feeling slighted, and in retaliation, he aimed his verse — which he wrote on the spot in 10 minutes with no pen or pad, directly at DMX. There were key lines in Jigga's verse that Irv believes were direct references to the original battle between the two titans: "F— what you n—as kickin' on the mic/ Chicken like you don't know what an ass whippin' feels like."
"His whole verse, he's sh–tin' on my man," Irv said of the "Empire State of Mind" MC's bars. "Now, X got problems with me."
DMX and Jay-Z continued to collaborate, and alongside Ja Rule, they recorded "Mudergram" in 1998 and "It's Murder" a year later, but nothing else as a trio.
"With those three guys, I felt very special," Irv said. "Here it is, in hindsight, three guys that were really at the top of their game at one time or another, and they all my friends."
Imagine that.
Do you wish Jay, X and Ja had recorded a full album together? Let us know in the comments!

By Elise Herrera-Green
Michelle Lagua, a member of the Class of 2013 Primary Care Physician Assistant Program, has been selected as one of six 2013 National Medical Fellowship, Primary Care Leadership Program (PCLP) Scholars across the nation.
As a National Medical Fellowship Scholar, Lagua will receive a $5,000 scholarship and a stipend to cover travel, living and lodging expenses for a 200-hour service learning opportunity at a community health clinic.
Beginning in June 2013, Lagua will work at AltaMed Medical Group in Los Angeles with a designated mentor. There she will have the chance to see first hand the rewards and challenges of primary care practice in community health centers.
"I'm truly surprised and delighted at the honor. This is a wonderful opportunity, not just because of the scholarship, but because it provides experience in a community health clinic," Lagua said.
During her time in service-learning, Lagua will engage in health care service, leadership training and project activities, as well as have the opportunity to network with organizations and the National Medical Fellowship alumni.
Selection of scholars is rigorous, and eligible candidates must demonstrate academic achievement, leadership, participation in community-based activities, participation in research and a proven passion for improving health care in medically underserved communities.
"The criteria for receipt of this honor are in alignment with what we look for when selecting students to attend our program," said Kevin Lohenry, director of the Primary Care Physician Assistant Program. "We're thrilled that Michelle is being recognized for these same values by others outside of our program."
Created as a partnership between the GE Foundation and the National Medical Fellowship, the PCLP aims to address the growing need for primary care health professionals in underserved areas. Its overall mission is to develop a pipeline for future primary care professionals to build capacity at community health centers.
The PCLP is one of three service-learning programs offered by the National Medical Fellowship, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement and increase of underrepresented minority health care professionals in the workforce.

Keep-Alive connection feature in HTTP protocol is meant to reduce TCP connection hits to web server. It should be able to improve web server performance. However, I found that some web servers deliberately disable KeepAlive feature from server side.
In my understanding, some reverse proxy, i.e. HAProxy, disables HTTP keep-alive in order to reduce memory usage which is more critical than CPU usage in some situation.
Is there any other reason why Web server disables Keep-Alive?

Over the past two decades, there has been a general consensus that courts and antitrust agencies should not presume that a patent conveys market power under the Sherman Act. For instance, the U.S. Department of Justice stated in its Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property that the "agencies will not presume that a patent, copyright, or trade secret necessarily conveys market power upon its owner." The Federal Circuitĺs decision in Independent Ink, Inc. v. Illinois Tool Works, Inc., Case No. 04-1196 (Fed. Cir., Jan. 25, 2005) (Dyk, J.) marks a sharp reversal of the general consensus regarding market power and patents.
In Independent Ink, Trident Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinois Tool Works, was the owner of U.S. Pat. No. 5,343,266 which disclosed an ink jet and an ink supply system for printing bar codes. Trident also sold ink. Trident insisted that a licensor could make, use and sell Trident ink jet printing devices only if the licensor purchased ink from Trident. Independent Ink, a competing manufacturer of ink, sued Trident seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of Tridentĺs patents and claiming that Trident tied its Trident device with Trident ink.
A tying claim requires a showing that a defendant has market power in the tying product, that there were two separate products involved, that the defendant conditioned the sale of the tying product on the purchase of the tied product and that there was an effect on interstate commerce. The district court granted summary judgment to Trident, finding Independent made no showing that Trident had market power in the tying market. On appeal, Independent argued that the district court erred in requiring the plaintiff to prove affirmatively market power.
The Federal Circuit first clarified that the antitrust consequences of patent tying was a question of federal circuit law, not regional circuit law.
Relying on two older Supreme Court decisions (International Salt Co. v. United States and United States v. Loewĺs Inc.), the Federal Circuit held that Independent did not need to show that Trident had market power to defeat summary judgment. The Court held that a patent creates a presumption of market power in a tying claim. The Court held that this presumption could only be rebutted by expert economic testimony or other credible economic evidence showing cross-elasticity of demand.
Practice Note
The IndependentInk decision will likely reinvigorate patent tying claims in the federal courts. Given the presumption of market power that arises from owning a patent, patent owners need to be careful when licensing their intellectual property to ensure that the licensee is not forced to buy another product or license another patent as a condition of obtaining the underlying license.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
The God of Small Things Chapter 16 Summary
A Few Hours Later
- Estha and Rahel are on the riverbank. They're dragging the boat out to the water. Sophie Mol has a bunch of provisions with her. It's been two weeks since Sophie Mol's arrival.
- Estha, it turns out, has already equipped their Home away from Home with a bunch of things they'll need because of his fear of the Orangedrink Lemondrink Man. But it was Ammu's anger towards the twins that really prompted them to leave. Estha says they'll go home only if Ammu begs them.
- Sophie Mol goes with the twins after explaining that the adults will only be truly sorry if all of the kids are gone. (If she only knew!)
- They set off in the boat. It's dark.
- They make it past the Really Deep and are almost to the other side when a floating log collides with the boat and capsizes it. Estha and Rahel are used to such things happening, and they swim to shore.
- They call for Sophie Mol, but she doesn't respond. Rahel feels Pappachi's moth on her heart.
- Sophie Mol is already gone, carried away by the current.
- Rahel asks Estha if she's dead. He doesn't answer. He does say that they'll go to jail, however.
- They don't see Velutha asleep in the shadows of the History House.

To commemorated the release, AYWY has picked us at examiner.com to release a single track. "Starboard" is that track; in all its multi-faceted, Caribbean-tinged glory. It's just one piece of the 'Feral' pie, but 'tis a delicious one, at that.

Ted Cruz and Lt. Governor David Dewhurst faced off in a televised debate leading up to the July 31st Texas GOP U.S. Senate primary runoff. Cruz was composed and articulate. His position as a strong Constitutional conservative was repeatedly demonstrated throughout the evening. Dewhurst had a few awkward pauses as he pulled his thoughts together to give answers that were less direct. The Lt. Governor's positional foundation did not come through as clearly as his opponent's did. Overall, Cruz established his guiding principle was that the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
When asked his stand on illegal immigration, Cruz didn't hesitate to say,
"I am categorically opposed to amnesty. Amnesty is wrong. It's contrary to the rule of law and it's unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited in line and came here legally."
Mr. Cruz, declared the back-door amnesty policy implemented by President Obama "unconstitutional…lawless and…wrong." About the possibility of a guest worker program, he went on to say, "I do not support a guest worker program. I do not support any expansions in immigration unless and until we secure our borders."
David Dewhurst was then asked the same question.
"Illegal immigration is a very, very serious problem. That, combined with, with dangerous drugs which are coming into Texas, transnational gangs and the federal government has done a terrible, terrible job in trying to secure our boarder."
One of the solutions that Dewhurst would support was "means testing" to help fix Social Security. This would discourage the very people who had contributed to Social Security their whole working lives from actually receiving the payouts promised as part of this specialized tax.
While both candidates saw the need to raise the retirement age for Social Security, Cruz went on to offer a plan that would help deal with the entitlement crisis looming ahead.
1. "For those on Social Security, or near retirement there should be no changes whatsoever. We should honor the commitments made to our seniors.
2. Set the rate of increase in benefits so it matches inflation rather than exceeding inflation.
3. For younger workers, allow us to keep a portion of our Social Security taxes in a private, personal account that we own, that we control and can pass on to our kids and grandkids."
Ted Cruz stated boldly that if Texans send him to Washington, the first bill he would introduce would "repeal every syllable of every word of Obamacare."

Today's planned 7 ½ hour-long space walk will see Smith and Grunsfeld install a transmitter that relays Hubble's scientific data from the telescope to the ground and an upgraded digital recorder replacing an older mechanical version.
The transmitter to be installed today replaces one that failed in 1998. Since that time, the second on-board transmitter has successfully carried the load without any disruption to Hubble operations. The transmitters are considered very reliable, and unlike most of the equipment aboard Hubble, were not designed to be changed out in orbit. Special tools were developed to enable astronauts to do the job more easily.
The digital Solid State Recorder being installed on the telescope will replace an older mechanical model and provide more than 10 times the storage capacity. Smith and Grunsfeld also will apply some new insulation on equipment bay doors to minimize any degradation of the telescope's protective thermal coverings.
The space walk currently is scheduled to being at 1:20 p.m. Central Time and is expected to last about 7 ½ hours.
Mission Control awakened the crew at 8:50 a.m. today to the sounds of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" played for Smith and the children's song "Skinnamarink" by Kimbo for Grunsfeld. Discovery remains in excellent condition, in an orbit with a high point of 380 statute miles and a low point of 364 miles.
