Steam-Powered Motorcycle Expected To Set Auction Record (Slideshow)
RM Auctions say sit Auctions America unit will offer an 1894 Roper Steam Motorcycle during its Las Vegas sale that runs Jan. 12 – 14. and includes more than 400 collector motorcycles. RM says it expects the Roper to set a new world record for a motorcycle sold at auction.
The machine to be auctioned is the second of two steam-powered motorcycles built by Sylvester Roper of Roxbury, Mass. It is among the world's oldest motorbikes and predates early models from companies like Indian, Harley-Davidson and Orient.
RM says the world record for a motorcycle sold at auction is held by a 1915 Cyclone Board Track Racer OHC that sold for $520,000 in 2008.
"We're delighted to have been selected to present this historic and pioneering motorcycle at our inaugural Las Vegas sale in January. A significant piece of Americana, it is arguably one of the world's most important motorcycles," says Glenn Bator, head of Auctions America's vintage motorcycle division.
Based on the frame of a Columbia bicycle, the Roper steamer uses a rectangular boiler system which, though prominent, is surprisingly compact. The setup includes a burner and grate, a small steam engine on the right side and a water tank mounted over the boiler. An large, exhaust stack somewhat resembles a the exhaust pipes on some modern sport bikes. All controls are on the handlebars.
The motorcycle was clocked at 40 mph in 1896 on a measured mile on the Dorchester Road in Boston.
In addition to its pioneering design, the Roper Steam Motorcycle boasts a remarkable provenance from 1894, including a known, unbroken history from new. Regularly used by Roper, it averaged a record speed of 40 miles per hour on the for a measured mile in May 1896.
"With the only other Roper motorcycle ever built on long-term display at the Smithsonian Institution, the upcoming sale of this example presents an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime ownership opportunity for serious collectors," Bator says.
Other motorcycles of interest at the Las Vegas sale include a 1911 Wagner Single, 1917 Henderson Four-Cylinder Board Track Racer, 1936 Harley-Davidson LE Knucklehead and a 1902 'The Whitley of Coventry' bike with original paint.

We have mentioned in several previous blog posts that we were watching a storm rolling in from the Pacific that could make things interesting around these parts late this weekend. The models and their ensembles are in very good agreement on the evolution of the large-scale pattern. Thus, we have enough confidence to say that a significant regional severe weather episode, which includes the potential for damaging winds and tornadoes, is more likely than not either Sunday afternoon or night.
A strong middle and upper atmospheric storm system in the Southwestern United States Thursday afternoon is forecast to reach Texas by Saturday night. Meanwhile, another trough within the polar westerlies over the Gulf of Alaska will move eastward into the Northern High Plains at the same time. These two troughs are expected to merge (we call this "phasing") on Sunday, which will create a large and very powerful deep-layer trough that will begin marching toward the Central and Eastern United States. At the earth's surface, an area of low pressure will organize slowly at first over eastern Texas Saturday evening before intensifying more rapidly on its way to the southern Great Lakes states Sunday evening. An increasingly warm, moist and modestly unstable airmass will push into the deep south on the heels of strengthening southerly winds on Sunday. The large-scale lift associated with the powerful trough will overspread the unstable air creating an environment conducive for thunderstorm development. The strong tropospheric wind fields are expected to lead to extreme vertical wind shear. Supercells should be able to develop in that sort of environment.
Very early indications suggest a squall line will start organizing in eastern Texas Saturday evening, then translate eastward along the Gulf coast states on Sunday. The timing brings the line into our area late Sunday afternoon or evening. We are not yet certain whether either individual storm cells will be able to develop ahead of the line, or which parts of our area will have the highest severe weather threat. As those details become clearer, we will post additional information. We just wanted to give the "heads up" for now.

Can you please remove 10wb standard tournaments from all tournament schedules? The tournaments barely ever have more than 10 participants, it really makes no sense for anyone to keep these tournaments (I can question the same for 5wb ones, although these are slightly better, still). Even if you include it because of the house cut, you will earn much more by a 5wb one (whether its sealed or standard) than this one.
10 wb standard tournaments, a wasted 2 hours.

I get a different set of results then searching for....
"search term"?
Isn't 50 the baseline average for all 3 knobs? If they are supposed to represent different data sets, I wonder which one is the more finalized version of the average 50/50/50 set up.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Break out the moose chili. Sarah Palin is back with her latest television project and she wants to give viewers a hearty taste of the great outdoors.
The former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate held court with reporters over breakfast at the TV critics press tour. She was there to promote a new unscripted series -- "Amazing America with Sarah Palin" -- premiering April 3 on the Sportsman Channel.
"You know how much I love critics and the media," said Palin, coaxing a burst of boisterous laughter. "So a room full of television critics, you can't beat this combination for pleasure."
Hosted by Palin, "Amazing America" will send a group of correspondents across the country to introduce its audience to outdoors-loving citizens. Also included: Segments in Alaska with Palin and her family.
Dubbed the "first lady of the outdoors" by an executive for the channel, Palin rocked a pair of showy, star-spangled pumps and was bursting with energy as she talked about wanting to restore "that Americana spirit" by coaxing viewers off the couch and into nature.
And though the Sportsman Channel naturally draws a predominantly male audience, Palin stressed that she wants to plug young girls into what the Sportsman Channel dubs the "red, wild and blue" lifestyle.
"I think this world would be better off if we had more young women holding a fish in a picture than holding their camera in front of a bathroom mirror, taking a selfie," she said.
Palin, who later cheerfully mingled with the media and avoided talking politics, was so accommodating that she urged reporters to come up to Alaska and join the family for some outdoors adventures. She even promised to put an "extra helping of moose chili in the crock pot."
"That is the way we can connect, and you can see us unguarded, unchained, and living that red, wild, and blue life ... what America used to be," she said.

Please enjoy. :)
Joshua Daniel White (February 11, 1914 – September 5, 1969), better known as Josh White, was an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, actor, and civil rights activist. He also recorded under the names "Pinewood Tom" and "Tippy Barton" in the 1930s.
White grew up in the Jim Crow South. During the 1920s and 30s, he became a prominent race records artist, with a prolific output of recordings in genres including Piedmont blues, country blues, gospel, and social protest songs. In 1931, White moved to New York, and within a decade his fame had spread widely; his repertoire expanded to include urban blues, jazz, traditional folk songs, and political protest songs. He soon was in demand as an actor on radio, Broadway, and film.
White also became the closest African-American friend and confidant to president Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, White's anti-segregationist and international human rights political stance presented in many of his recordings and in his speeches at rallies resulted in the right-wing McCarthyites assuming him a Communist. Accordingly, from 1947 through the mid 1960s, White became caught up in the anti-Communist Red Scare, and combined with the resulting attempt to clear his name, his career was damaged. White's playing style influenced many future generations of guitarists, including Blind Boy Fuller, Brownie McGhee, Pete Seeger, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, Lonnie Donegan, Eartha Kitt, Alexis Korner, Odetta, Elvis Presley, The Kingston Trio, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Merle Travis, Dave Van Ronk, Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Eric Weissberg, Judy Collins, Mike Bloomfield, Danny Kalb, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Richie Havens, Don McLean, Roy Harper, Ry Cooder, John Fogerty, Eva Cassidy and countless others.

Proper Paper Format
(Under Construction - not agreed upon)
Students must submit papers following a simple set of guidelines.
1. Paper - Use standard-sized (8 ½ x 11 inch) notebook paper for handwritten classwork. Avoid using spiral notebook paper unless as part of a diary or journal. And use standard-sized (8 ½ x 11 inch), 20-pound (standard), white, multi-purpose or photocopy or typing paper for printed work.
2. Margins - Top, bottom, and side margins shall be 1", no more, no less. Your teacher may choose to use the space for comments.
3. Typeface Size - Use a 12 point typeface. Smaller typefaces are tiring for your teacher to read. Larger typefaces suggest that you are trying to make a small amount of work look larger, drawing more attention to the work's inadequacies.
4. Typeface Style - Use a standard typeface with serifs like the one used in this document. These typefaces have names like Book, Times, Roman, 20th Century, etc. Serifs are the small lines at the ends of the parts that make up each letter. Avoid stylized type faces, script, ultra-bold, light, etc. When reading hundreds of papers, these typefaces create fatigue in the reader.
5. Heading - Your heading must be placed on your paper. The heading must include your first and last name, your class/period/instructor, and the date. The information makes returning a lost paper easy. It should look like this:
Elmer Fudd
English II, P3, Mr. Aristotle
September 1, 2007
6. Line Spacing - Most handwritten work should be single-spaced unless directed otherwise. All printed work must be double-spaced; this allows your teacher to place comments between the lines.
7. Paragraphing - Each paragraph must have its first word indented 5 spaces. Do not insert empty lines between paragraphs. In single-spaced business letters and advertising, paragraphs may not have the first word indented; the paragraphs are identified with an empty line between the paragraphs. Do not use this style in your English class.
8. Integration of Quotations - All quotations must be placed within quotation marks. Every quotation must be integrated into one of your sentences: a quotation must not stand by itself as its own sentence.
9. Cover Sheet and Rubric - Many teachers will ask you to include an assignment cover sheet and blank rubric when you submit your paper. Proper heading information must appear on both the cover sheet and the rubric.
10. Drafts - Save all drafts of your paper. In particular, save drafts on which you or others have made suggestions or corrections. The drafts are a record of your process and may help you illustrate your effort on a composition.
11. Printer Problems / Computer Problems - If you have a problem with your printer or computer, you must solve the problem before the paper is due. "My printer isn't working" will not be an acceptable excuse. Make sure you back-up all work onto media other than your hard drive so that you will have a copy when your hard drive crashes. When you have a computer malfunction or when your friend or your teacher loses your paper, you will have a back-up copy which you can use. Your Turnitin.com copy is also a back-up.
12. Turnitin.com - All writing significant writing assignments will be submitted to Turnitin.com. If you have trouble using the web-site, make a copy of the assignment on alternate media, and try to submit the assignment again from another computer. Turnitin.com does a good job of checking to see if any part of your work has been written by someone else. Microsoft Works format (not Microsoft Word) is incompatible with most every other word processing program. Microsoft Word = .doc and Microsoft Works = .wps.
13. All work shall be placed in your student portfolio after it has been reviewed by you and your parents/family/tutor/mentor.

The marital communications privilege does not cover emails sent by a husband to his wife using his workplace computer.
A federal appeals court affirmed the conviction of a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates for bribery and extortion for securing state funding for Old Dominion University in exchange for employment by the university. The evidence in the case included emails from the defendant to his wife that were sent from and to the defendant's workplace.
The defendant argued that the admission of the emails violated the marital communications privilege, which protects communications between a husband and wife. Prosecutors argued that the defendant waived the privilege by communicating with his wife using his workplace computer, through his work email account, and failing to safeguard the emails.
At the time some of the emails were sent, the defendant's employer had no computer usage policy but later adopted a policy before the criminal investigation. The policy expressly provided that users had "no expectation of privacy in their use of the Computer System" and "all information created, sent[,] received, accessed, or stored in the . . . Computer System is subject to inspection and monitoring at any time."
The trial court found that while a person "may generally have a reasonable expectation of privacy in email," the expectation may be extinguished when a policy is adopted allowing a third party to view the emails. In this case, the trial court found that after the policy was adopted, the defendant took no steps to protect the emails, thereby waiving any marital privilege. The appellate court found that after a person is "on notice that the allegedly privileged material is subject to search may waive the privilege when he makes no efforts to protect it."
United States v. Phillip A. Hamilton, Fourth Cir. No. 11-4847, issued December 13, 2012.

The remarkable results obtained by Liebermeister in the use of cold baths in typhoid fever at once attracted the attention of the physicians of the world. But his indiscriminate use of the baths in all cases in which the temperature became elevated, was, and is to-day much criticized. It is quite apparent that in such a disease as typhoid fever, there must always be many other factors to be considered than the single one of the temperature range. In America and in England the rigid application of the Liebermeister plan never found a very wide application. Social conditions as well as the judgment of physicians would not permit its use generally. In other fevers high temperature has not been found to be of the great danger which it has long been held to have in typhoid fever. But the long duration of the elevated temperature of typhoid is a factor

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4.5 in 1 review
In 2009, Alea released a Treasure Chest containing expansions for several games. Ystari offered something similar the same year with the Ystari Box. The Treasure Chest was issued to mark Alea's 10th anniversary, and this medium sized box appropriately contained ten expansions for half a dozen of Alea's games, namely Puerto Rico, San Juan, Notre Dame, In the Year of the Dragon, Witch's Brew, and Louis XIV. Rio Grande's English edition of the Treasure Chest went one better by including two mini expansions for The Princes of Florence as well.
I'm not a huge fan of the model of bundling together mini-expansions in this way, because most gamers will find that they only own a few of the games. In most cases this means that you're buying a product that includes items of little use to you personally. I suppose that in some cases this might entice completists to buy the base game, and publishers won't be complaining about that! The real disadvantage of this concept is that these mini-expansions are not readily available separately. Admittedly, because they're typically very small, it's hard to think of a better way to market them in a way that avoids the publisher making a loss on the whole project.
Fortunately, some of these mini-expansions are absolutely terrific, and despite their small size they really enhance the base game, and are well worth the effort it takes to acquire them, even if it means buying the entire package to do so. Plenty of gamers have bought the entire Treasure Chest in order to get just a couple of these expansions, and found the result more than worthwhile. The expansions for San Juan are particularly outstanding, but the additions to Puerto Rico and Notre Dame are also very good. Sometimes just adding a few cards to a game can make a world of difference!

I know its hard. I am going through exactly the same thing. The first month I knew I was pregnant but i lost it very early on.We have been trying for last 3 months and every month I have pregnancy symptoms. I convinced myself that I would get caught straight away. When it doesn't happen it's heartbraking. Try not to think about it. I know its hard but just let it happen. Did you say you were overdue. If not wait til after your period is due and retest. Your hormones need to build up. If you test quite often make sure you buy supermarkets home brand they are just as good and it won't cost you as much and you can afford to test more. Waiting is hard so I do hope that you are pregnant now. Just enjoy trying. Let me know if you get BFP
Kind Regards

Welcome to the Loughborough Social Club.
I started up the Loughborough Social because I felt there was a little gap between the 3 main East Midland cities of Leic, Derby and Notts, and Loughborough is a good centre point for those unable to travel to one of the larger groups or just wanted something local.
The idea is to meet every now and then for social events and to give you the opportunity to make friends and socialise. Between all the meet up groups around, there's lots and lots of activities so hopefully Loughborough can also provide something for everyone to add to their calendars.
I started the group in June 2012 and we have a great group and everyone is very friendly and welcoming to new comers, so don't be shy and don't worry, just pop along, make sure you have a recent photo (so we can look out for you) and enjoy. :)
Membership is FREE - However, yearly we ask for a contribution from members who attend our events. This is to cover the cost of fees charged by the Meet Up website (approx £110 per year). So far we have asked for a small donation of £4. (this is a donation and not compulsory)

And they call us "bitters".... Most successful team of the last 20 years but their fans are still just as jealous and hateful of anyone else's occasional success as usual. And they wonder why the fans of every other team (except the poor gooners who resent being our feeder team, and the red scouse who just don't matter to anyone except Utd) still hate Utd and were dancing with joy (QPR, Sunderland, probably everyone else) when we won the title. This fellow is apparently 56 years of age but is still throwing his toys out of the pram when life doesn't go his way. Very, very sad old bitter red rag.

CHICAGO Il. - Kentucky's A'dia Mathies will participate in the State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships at 7 p.m. ET April 4 at McCamish Pavilion on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Intersport announced today via Twitter. The 25th annual event, which will showcase the dunking and sharp-shooting talents of 24 of the nation's top college basketball players, will be broadcast live on ESPN. The broadcast team includes Brad Nessler, Dan Dakich, Jimmy Dykes and Samantha Ponder.
Individual events include: Hampton Hotels Men's 3-Point Championship, State Farm Women's 3-Point Championship, Pepsi MAX Battle of the Champions and Denny's Slam Dunk Championship.
Mathies will be competing in the State Farm Women's 3-Point Championship. One of the most decorated players in the country, Mathies is a finalist for the State Farm Wade Trophy, the Naismith Trophy and the John R. Wooden Award and earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Year honors in 2012 and 2013. Mathies ended her career as Kentucky's all-time leader in steals (320), games played (140) and games started (139) and is ranked second in scoring (2,014) and 3-point field goals made (177). Kentucky's season ended with an Elite Eight loss yesterday to No. 1 seed Connecticut. The 2012-13 season will go down as the most successful in program history, with a school-record 30 wins and eight victories over Top 25 opponents.
One player already named to the Denny's Slam Dunk Championship roster is High Point's senior forward Corey Law, who won the State Farm Dark Horse Dunker competition. The State Farm Dark Horse Dunker Facebook bracket was a five-week knockout competition that began with 16 under-the-radar dunkers who had what it takes to compete against the D-I field in Atlanta. Fans determined the winner by voting during each round at the official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CollegeSlam).
Fan involvement continues as voting via Twitter will serve as the "Fifth Judge" in the Denny's Slam Dunk Competition. Fans can vote on every dunk by simply tweeting #CollegeSlam, followed by the player's last name and a score between one and 10 (e.g. #CollegeSlam #Smith10). From there, an average rating will be calculated and that rating will be paired with the four celebrity judges' scores to make up each player's total score.
The four celebrity judges for the 2013 State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships are:
-Harry Douglas, wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons;
-Julio Jones, Pro Bowler and wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons;
-Demaryius Thomas, former Georgia Tech standout and 2013 Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Denver Broncos; and
-Roddy White, four-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons.
Alumni of the State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships include Gary Payton (Oregon State), Steve Nash (UC-Santa Clara), Allan Houston (Tennessee), Bobby Hurley (Duke), Michael Finley (Wisconsin), Wes Matthews (Marquette), and Mario West (Georgia Tech). Also, six current members of the Harlem Globetrotters are alumni of this event: Kris Bruton, William Bullard, Herb Lang, Bryan Narcisse, Darnell Wilks and John Williams.

For Immediate Release: November 6, 2013
Press contact: Rachel Flor (617) 514-1662
Boston, MA- The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced today that the national John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest, with a first place prize totaling $10,000, is now open and accepting submissions from U.S. high school students. The deadline for entries is Monday, January 6, 2014.
Students and teachers may access the contest's website by visiting the Profile in Courage Essay Contest at www.jfklibrary.org.
The annual Profile in Courage Essay Contest invites students from across the nation to write an essay describing an act of political courage by a U.S. elected official who served during or after 1956. The essay contest is sponsored by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and generously supported by John Hancock Financial.
The contest is a companion program of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award™, named for President Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Profiles in Courage, which recounts the stories of eight senators who risked their careers by taking principled stands for unpopular positions.
The winner of this competitive annual contest will be awarded a $5,000 cash prize and an additional $5,000 to grow in a John Hancock Freedom 529 College Savings Plan. The student's nominating teacher will be awarded a John F. Kennedy Public Service Grant in the amount of $500 to be applied toward school projects involving student leadership and civic engagement.The essay contest winner and nominating teacher will also receive an expense paid round-trip to Boston, where they will be honored at ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. A second-place winner will receive $1,000 and up to five finalists each will receive $500.
The contest is open to United States high school students in grades nine through twelve attending public, private, parochial, or home schools; U.S. students under the age of twenty enrolled in a high school correspondence/GED program in any of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, or the U.S. territories; and U.S. citizens attending schools overseas. Past winners and finalists are not eligible to participate. Employees of John Hancock and members of their families are not eligible to participate.
"This national essay contest fittingly honors President Kennedy, who believed deeply in the power of the individual and the promise of our nation's young people," said Tom McNaught, Executive Director of the Kennedy Library Foundation. "It is gratifying to see how readily students today can identify and understand acts of political courage and their importance in our democratic society, as well as the role courage plays in today's political climate."
"As the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum celebrates the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's administration, we are proud to once again partner with the Foundation on the Profile in Courage Essay Contest." said Tom Crohan, Assistant Vice President & Counsel, John Hancock. "John Hancock's strong commitment to education and civic responsibility is a proud tradition, and we encourage students from across the country to participate in this contest. It is an opportunity to learn about President Kennedy's inspiring legacy, understand the lessons of our nation's past, and appreciate the role they can play in shaping our future."
Last year, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation received 1,814 essays from high school students in all fifty states and Washington, D.C., and from U.S. students in Chile, Egypt, India, and Taiwan.
The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that provides financial support, staffing, and creative resources for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, a presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration. The Kennedy Library Foundation and the Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum seek to promote, through educational and community programs, a greater appreciation and understanding of American politics, history, and culture, the process of governing and the importance of public service.

Hygeia (Salus)
Interview with Hygeia (Salus)
Shmoop's crack team of P.I.s recently broke into the offices of Dr. Logos, noted therapist to the gods. Interestingly, the good doctor had his own mental breakdown, following several unsuccessful sessions with Atlas, Medea, and several other notable figures. The transcript below captures a session with Hygeia, who is associated with mental health as well as physical.
Hygeia: Hello, Doctor Logos.
Dr. Logos: Oh hello, Lady Hygeia. Thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice.
Hygeia: My pleasure, doctor.
Dr. Logos: What a lovely snake you have.
Hygeia: Why, thank you.
Dr. Logos: What is it that you're feeding it there from that bowl?
Hygeia: A special blend: manna juice, vitamins, the blood of my victims...
Dr. Logos: Ah. Wait, what?
[Hygeia laughs.]
Hygeia: Just a little joke! My snake is super friendly.
Dr. Logos: Yes, very funny. Well, I suppose I should begin by—
Hygeia: Hmm, yes... would you mind using a bit of this hand sanitizer before we begin?
Dr. Logos: I... of course... but I've only just washed my hands, you know.
Hygeia: You can never be too careful with personal hygiene, Doctor.
Dr. Logos: Of course.
Hygeia: A little more... There you go... Now rub your hands together vigorously. I said "vigorously"! You can't let those germs get the upper hand!
Dr. Logos: Okay, okay.
Hygeia: Marvelous.
Dr. Logos: Very well. Let me start by saying—
Hygeia: Oooh, Doctor. Would you mind putting on these sterile plastic pants before you sit there?
Dr. Logos: I don't see why that's necessary.
Hygeia: Oh please, doctor.
Snake: Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...
Dr. Logos: Why is the snake looking at me like that?
Hygeia: My snake becomes, um, unpredictable around germs.
Dr. Logos: Very well. I'll put on your blasted plastic pants.
Hygeia: Lovely. Now tell me what's on your mind.
Dr. Logos: I've just been feeling a bit depressed lately. Several of my sessions haven't turned out well at all. Medea got even more murderous after I talked to her, Hephaestus had a nervous breakdown, and Atlas almost dropped the sky onto the earth.
Hygeia: Hmmm.... and how does that make you feel?
Dr. Logos: Really? That's the best you have to offer? "How does that make you feel?"
Hygeia: I'm sorry, doctor. But would you mind wearing this surgical mask before you say anything else?
Dr. Logos: But—
Hygeia: Not another word. Your germ-ridden spittle fills the room.
Snake: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Hygeia: Oh, look. Now you've got my snake excited again.
Dr. Logos: This is the worst therapy session in the history of the earth. No wonder people don't worship you anymore. No wonder the temples of you and your father lie in ruins.
Hygeia: Hey, now. My snake and bowl symbol is used for pharmacies throughout the world.
Dr. Logos: Big whoop! You're the worst therapist I've ever known.
Hygeia: Oh, you think you could do a better job, huh?
Dr. Logos: OF COURSE!
Hygeia: Well, go forth and prove it, doctor.
Dr. Logos: I WILL!
[A door slams]
Hygeia: It looks like his confidence is restored, eh snake?
Snake: Sssssssssssssssssssssss.

The Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath's Prologue
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: The Wife of Bath's Prologue Lines 35-82 Summary
- Solomon had more than one wife; the Wife wishes it were permitted for her to have sex half as often as him.
- The Wife continues on to say that it was a great gift for Solomon to have so many wives. He must have really enjoyed himself on his wedding nights.
- The Wife blesses God that she has had five husbands.
- She says that she picked the best men, both in terms of their genitals and their wealth.
- Just as a lot of schooling makes for good clerks, and a lot of practice at their craft makes for good craftsmen, so, says the Wife, she is "of fyve husbondes scoleiyng" (50), implying that she is a really, really good wife.
- The Wife welcomes a sixth husband whenever he comes along, for she does not want to be chaste.
- When her current husband is dead, she plans to marry again. The apostle (probably Paul) allows her to remarry because he says that to be wedded is not sinful; it is better to be married than to burn (meaning, better to be married than to have sex out of wedlock, thereby condemning oneself to hell).
- Why should the Wife care if people condemn Lamech for having multiple wives? After all, Abraham and Jacob also had multiple wives, and they were considered holy men.
- Also, when did God ever forbid marriage expressly? And when did he ever command virginity?
- When Saint Paul spoke about virginity, he didn't command it, only recommended it and left it to each person's judgment.
- If God had commanded virginity, he would have condemned marriage.
- Also, if people didn't procreate, no virgins would be born, so there would be no virginity.
- Saint Paul certainly didn't dare to command something God wouldn't command.
- Virginity is a challenge ("The dart is set up of virginitee" [81]), says the Wife. Let's see who wins it.

Firehouse Burgers
Our burgers are 100% Certified Angus Beef
1/3 pound patties roasted to perfection.
The Firehouse has 6 great burgers to choose from:
5 Alarm Burger
This is our "Signature" burger. Our house burger patty toppped with roasted jalapeno slices, melted pepper jack cheese and our excellent flaming hot sauce. This one will bring a bead of sweat, but the flavors are worth it!
4 Alarm Burger
For those who want some "heat", but can't quite stomach the 5 Alarm. We back-off and use the regular hot sauce, instead of the flaming hot. Still very tasty!
Pastrami Burger
An unlikely combination, but a wonderful one. Our house burger topped with a couple pieces of real deli pastrami and melted swiss cheese.
Mushroom Burger
The classic burger. Sauteed mushrooms, melted swiss cheese and Certified Angus Beef, can't go wrong.
Western Burger
Beef, bacon, pepper jack and BBQ sauce. Nothing else need be said, but YUM!
Double Burger
Our house burger with another wonderful patty!
House Burger
Served on a corn-meal dusted bun. With choice of sides and lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. add cheese for $ .75
For the adventurous, Ham or Bacon can be added to any burger for $ .75.

Shall I use Zones or LDOMs?
By Karoly Vegh-Oracle on Feb 16, 2012
Recently (especially since the SPARC T4 release) I got this question a couple of times - "We are running/migrating to T2/T3/T4 servers, and considering for our setup the virtualization possibilities. What shall we go for, zones or ldoms?"
Of course one can't answer this question without talking about the platform requirements and the reasons to pick the right technologies, but before we'd go into details, let me get the most important statement straight:
Let's get some terminology clear first:
- LDOMs are now called Oracle VM for SPARC. I will use these terms interchangably.
- Zones have started their lives as project Kevlar, then named zones, then marketed as containers, we are now back to zones again.
- LDOMs are the HW-Virtualization technology of the SPARC-T (CMT, ChipMultiThreading, Coolthread, sun4v, etc) server series, it is their ability to carve up the server into Logical DOMains, running on a hypervisor that runs in the firmware.
- Zones are the featherweight OS-Virtualization technology of Solaris on all of the platforms (Sparc-T, Sparc-M and x86 too)
- Every T server is running ldoms. If you don't partition your box into domains, you are still running one single large ldom, called the primary domain, encapsulating the complete server.
- Every Solaris 10+ OS installation has one zone, the global zone (GZ). This is where the [shared] kernel[space] runs, and the non-global zones (NGZ) are the containers separating applications in the userspace.
- Container principle: They cleanly separate your applications from each other, by maintaining for them a separate set of Solaris packages, their dedicated CPU resources, their IP-stack, their filesystems, etc.
- Clean architecture: You won't poison your OS installation in the GZ running on the HW with additional packages/settings. The GZ manages the resources between the zones, runs the kernel, does the scheduling, runs the cluster, manages the devices, etc. The NGZs run the applications.
- Flexibility: You can simply detach a zone from the GZ and attach it to another GZ on another box, including the application. You can easily clone zones too.
- Security: Should a NGZ ever get compromised, the attacker can't bother the GZ, or applications running in other NGZs.
- Resource Management: You can dedicate the guaranteed amount of CPU shares a zone should get (using the FairShareScheduler), but as long as your CPU pool isn't 100% utilized, every zone can use more than the amount dedicated to it - that is, you can overcommit your resources.
- Kernel level separation:
- You might want to run different updates of Solaris 10 within a box.
- You might want to run Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 right next to each other within a box.
As you see these two technologies fulfill different requirements, they are in different levels of your operation-stack, ldoms being a HW-virtualization - a host for kernels to run, and zones being an OS-virtualization, to provide containers for your application to run in:
to give you an idea: run S10 and S11 in ldoms next to eachother within the same box, run branded and native zones on top of them
To summarize: The question shouldn't be about zones vs. ldoms. Use zones, they are your friends. The question is, if you partition your T-SPARC server into ldoms below your global zones to run your NGZs in.
Especially with Solaris 11, with Crossbow, the new network virtualization technology (that enables all your NGZs to have a dedicated IP stack) and the possibility to run Solaris 11 native zones and Solaris10 branded zones on top of Solaris 11, you have two quite powerful technologies to really get your server's worth - and by that I mean having a high server utilization. The higher that utilization is, the more you get for your costs.

A B C Luxury Sedan Service - Redford, MI - Phone: (734) 591-2011
An 'airport' is a place where airplanes, aircraft, helicopters, land as well as take off. In Redford, within an airport we can find various kinds of services related to travelling so that passengers do not have to leave the airport, like food courts, retiring lounge, parking area, even shopping area.
An airport in Redford consists of at least one runway for planes to take off and land. It also consists of a terminal building, a control tower and hangers for the planes to get ready for a flight. Airports in Redford are divided into landsides where parking lots, public transportation train stations, tank farms and access roads exist, and airside areas include all areas accessible to aircraft, including runways, taxiways, ramps and tank farms. Airports with international flights have customs and immigration facilities in Michigan. Some airports include on-site hotels built within or attached to a terminal building.
Along with people, airports move cargo around the clock. Airports are represented by their International Air Transport Association airport code and ICAO airport code. In Michigan many airports have lightening facility to guide planes during night or bad weather; the green lights indicate the beginning of the runway for landing, while red lights indicate the end of the runway. Now some runway have a special surface known as soft concrete at the end of the runway that behaves somewhat like Styrofoam, bringing the plane to a relatively rapid halt as the material disintegrates.

The Fender American Standard Series Stratocaster HSS is a perfect electric guitar for players who like big, fat humbucker tone. Redesigned with improvements that include the modern C-shaped maple neck with glossed neck front and satin polyurethane finish on back for smooth playability. Bent steel Fender saddles with classic look and great tone. String spacing narrowed for modern playability, saddle height screws re-sized to reduce rough feel, and string slot on saddle elongated to reduce string friction or breakage. Custom staggered tuning machines eliminate the need for one of the string trees. Staggered pole pieces in the pickups provide balanced output across all strings, and specifically improves the G-string's tone. Two-point trem, rosewood or maple fretboard, and genuine Fender American craftsmanship add up to a Fat Strat style guitar that is a dream come true. The return of the American Standard Series Strat continues Fender's tradition of commitment to the people who play Fender instruments out there in the real world. Today's American Standard Stratocaster guitars are worthy heirs of their revered ancestors-mindful of player needs and taking full advantage of modern advances, yet remaining completely true to the elements and spirit that made these instruments legendary in the first place. Improvements include redesigned bridges, neck and body finishes, and a Fender-exclusive high-tech molded case. Still there are the beloved hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for tone and stability guaranteed to last a lifetime (with its limited lifetime warranty)! So make history with the redesigned American Standard! Redesigned American Standard Strat BridgeGives sought-after tone with modern smooth trem travel. Block retains the mass and tone of a vintage bridge block, but is chamfered for access to deeper dives. Saddles have the classic look and tone, but with modern improvements (spacing, slot elongation, height screw length).Bridge Component Specifics'American Standard' saddles- The original vintage-style Fender bent steel adjustable saddle is one of the components that give vintage Fenders their tonal 'mojo'. Fender conducted tone comparison tests, and fell in love with them all over again. They have a wider tonal range and more character many other saddles. Then Fender improved them; narrowing the spacing to afford more room (and complement the bigger frets and rolled edges), and also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while improving the string break angle over the primary contact point.'Tone-fusion' block- A typical cast bridge block is impregnated with a resin to eliminate 'voids' in the material and to bond it together this steel block is infused with copper, which makes the block 100% homogeneous metal. The result is a more musical, higher mass bridge that has more of that machined-block sound. Fender was also able to keep the same American Series profile for increased. Price: $949.99

Second jail spell for defiant dog owner
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Legal, Local Government
Urgent action demanded from Government on dangerous dogs
A council tenant who repeatedly ignored warnings not to keep dogs at his home has been jailed.
Martin Eccles, of Batemoor Road, Sheffield, has been handed a 16-week sentence - his second spell in prison for defying dog rules.
Dogs are forbidden under the terms of the 56-year-old's tenancy agreement with Sheffield City Council. However, in 2011 the local authority presented an injunction that forced him to remove his canines from the property.
After ignoring this Eccles was collared with dogs at his home in July 2013, which led to a 28-day prison sentence.
Upon his release, Eccles continued to keep dogs', resulting in a court appearance this week.
"Mr Eccles has repeatedly and blatantly ignored orders not to have dogs at his property," said Lorraine Greeves, Manager of the Tenancy Management and Enforcement Team at Sheffield City Council.
"This time he has received a substantial prison sentence which we hope will deter him from breaching his tenancy agreement again."
The court also awarded the council its costs of £3,500.

No Election Needed: Mulberry Incumbents Draw No Opposition
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 3:45 a.m.
MULBERRY | Voters in Mulberry won't need to go to the polls April 2.
The three incumbents whose names would have appeared on the municipal ballot failed to draw opposition during this week's qualifying period, which means they all automatically win re-election.
Commissioners Andy Scrocca and Terry Evers, along with Mayor George Hatch, will begin their two-year terms at the city's May 7 commission meet-ing.
Scrocca, 84, who holds Seat 2, representing the Angler's Green development on the city's north side, will begin his third term. He previously served on the six-member board from 1989 to 2001.
Terry Evers, 68, joined the commission in 2007, when he was elected to Seat 4, representing the city's east side.
Hatch, 62, was elected mayor in 2011 and will begin his second term in office in May.
City Clerk Vanessa Baker said no one picked up a qualifying packet this week except the three incumbent candidates.
Qualifying closed at noon Friday.
To run for seat 2 or 4, candidates had to live within the district they would represent.
The mayor is elected at-large, meaning candidates could live anywhere in the city and seek that post.
Mulberry's governing board includes five commissioners and a mayor, who conducts the meetings and votes only in the case of a tie.
Commissioners are paid $287 a month for their service, while the mayor is paid $430 monthly.

|Lie algebra algorithms, ELIAS
|This paper describes progress made in context with the construction of a general library of Lie algebra algorithms, called ELIAS (Eindhoven Lie Algebra System), within the computer algebra package GAP. A first sketch of the packagecan be found in Cohen and de Graaf[1]. Since then, in a collaborative effort with G. Ivanyos, the authors have continued to develop algorithms which were implemented in ELIAS by the second author. These activities are part of a bigger project, called ACELA and financed by STW, the Dutch Technology Foundation, which aims at an interactive book on Lie algebras (cf. Cohen and Meertens [2]). This paper gives a global description of the main ways in which to present Lie algebras on a computer. We focus on the transition from a Lie algebra abstractly given by an array of structure constants to a Lie algebra presented as a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of n n matrices. We describe an algorithm typical of the structure analysis of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra: finding a Levi subalgebra of a Lie algebra.

Firefighters let house fire burn itself out
Fire started as crews were tearing down home
Published 9:37 PM CDT Oct 13, 2012
Hinds County and Byram are letting an abandoned house fire burn itself out.
Crews were working to tear down the home and clean up the area when the fire broke out in Raymond around 3 p.m.
Officials believe the fire started because power lines connected to the house still had power.
Neighbors in the area say they didn't even know the house was still standing.
"I saw they were tearing the old house down. I didn't even know the house was still standing. They say they was hitting it with the crane and the electricity still in the house and it just blew," said Tim Williams.

Alexi Laiho
Children of Bodom
Lamb of God /
Fear Factory
Children of Bodom
Interviewer: Karma E. Omowale
"When people say that they are a Children of Bodom fan and still downloaded our album, they don't understand if they keep doing that we don't get any money and the record company doesn't get any money so we can't continue to keep putting out new albums, that should be illegal or something like that..."
Frontman for Children of Bodom, Alexi Laiho, is one hell of a guy! Laiho is very much respected amongst his peers as a musician and artist. He proudly wears his badge for partying, however the ones who care to get to know him understand his inherent goodness. Join me in my conversation with Alexi as he answers his fans questions and talks about his life: raw, rough, & real!
Karma: Alexi, thank you so much for doing the interview. Are you feeling any better today?
Alexi: No problem. I was sick yesterday but I am feeling better now.
Karma: I heard that you injured your leg; are you okay now?
Alexi: Yeah, I'm okay now yeah. It was fucked up for about 3 days or something like that but it was no big deal. It's okay now.
Karma: Well that's good to hear! How did you injure it?
Alexi: Ha, ha, ha! [in a mischievous tone] I was drunk, on my ass of course and in the back lounge on the bus, the window was open, and I decide to jump out of it.
Karma: [laughs]
Alexi: [snickers] Yeah, well it was kind of aģlong dropģso that's how it happened!
Karma: Well as long as you're okay!
Alexi: Yeah, well shit like that happens! [laughs]
Karma: What do you think needs to change in the Industry?
Alexi: Well the main thing that I'm thinking about is the MP3 thing and that people are downloading stuff and everything. They don't get that they're killing the band and the whole music industry. When people say that they are a Children of Bodom fan and still downloaded our album, they don't understand if they keep doing that we don't get any money and the record company doesn't get any money so we can't continue to keep putting out new albums, that should be illegal or something like that, you know what I mean!
Karma: I do!! At the moment, who are some of your biggest influences?
Alexi: I don't know, there are a lot of different guitar playersģall of the Ozzy guys: Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde and Steve Vai.
Karma: Are there any current bands you listen to since you are known to be a big fan of the 80Æs?
Alexi: Yes definitely! There are some new bands that I dig for example: Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage. I just got the new Lamb of God CD right before we went on tour; I just wanted to check them out and I like that a lot.
Karma: Awesome.
Alexi: There are a lot of new bands I like, like In Flames and stuff like that
Karma: How has your song writing changed since the days of Something Wild?
Alexi: Well I think that I can see more clearly, what the songs should sound like. You know like I just want to come up with cool riffs and put them together one after another. so the whole song will make more sense. Most of the earlier, songs were actually okay riffs, but as far as structure, they just really didn't make that much sense. Now it's more like I just don't think about one riff I try to see the whole song. If there's a memory for whatever verse, chorus that loops over. That's what people hear and it's easier to remember if you get 20 different riffs, one after another, you're not really going to remember anything from the song. But if stuff repeats a few times like melodies or anything like that it gives people something to remember of the song so that's the main point.
Karma: Where do you see CoB 5 years from now?
Alexi: [laughs] I don't know, 6 feet under! [laughs]
Karma: What? [said in pure amazement with mouth left agape staring at the phone] Oh god, I hope not!
Alexi: I don't know. I don't really want to think about it becauseģ I try not to think about the future too much. I just really want to think about what we're doing right now. All's I know is that when we go back home from the tour, we're just going to start working on new stuff. And we're going to go back in the studio in March I guess. So I think the new album will come out in August and I have no idea after that really!
Karma: Cool!
Alexi: You can't tell really ever what's going to happen 5 years for now. I mean you might get bigger but what also might happen when the album doesn't sell anymore. You can either bite the bullet and just quit or keep trying. I'm just saying that if we start selling less albums than we used to we're just gonna quit.
Karma: Hmmģ well the next 7-8 questions were questions from your fans. I polled the fans on your message board and this is what they have to ask youģ
Alexi: Alright!
Karma: Will any wild and crazy bus antics make the cut for the Trashed, Lost & Strung Out DVD?
Alexi: Well there's going to be a bunch of stuff on there are going to be at least 2 videos of "Sixpounder" and one from "Trashed, Lost & Strungout". It's going to be us being stupid, fucking around, and drunk in Helsinki. Kind of funny stuff and 2 live videos from Helsinki as well.
Karma: They also wanted to know "when are you in the best mood to talk to fans, for example, not in a hurry/tired?"
Alexi: For me it doesn't really make a difference as long as it's not right before the show or right after the show. Because right before the show you just want to concentrate and just get into the mood to just get on the stage and rock! And after the show you're just soģin a totally different state of mind, so you need time to cool down for a little bit. Other than that, it doesn't really matter.
Karma: Will you do songs with blast-beats again?
Alexi: Yeah, probably yeah. I never decide what we're going to do and not going to do so I mean probably yeah!
Karma: They also wanted to know if you had any plans to cover some classic Metal songs again like Priest's "Touch Of Evil" or Megadeth's "Holy Wars" or anything like that.
Alexi: Uhh, I donÆt know, we might! Usually unless itÆs for a tribute CD; we like to pick something that would be more of a shock, something more surprising like Andrew W.K. or with Billy Idol or the Ramones. But yeah we might do some death metal covers, you never know!
Karma: I understand you guys covered a Sentenced song 1997 in Finland. Do you know for sure which song it was?
Alexi: Well we never recorded it; this was like when we were 15-years old or something we did play one of their songs. I thinkģ Fuck, I can't remember what it was calledģI think it was called "My Sky Is Darker Than Thine"
Karma: It is being said that that COB is playing modern Nu Metal now and should write songs like on the Hatebreeder album again, what's your thought on this?
Alexi: [clears throat] You know, that's kind of a tricky thing because the thing is that there are always going to be people no matter will say things like that. 'The older one is always better' you know. People that are saying you should just do stuff like Hatebreeder but we don't want to get stuck, you know! We don't just want to get stuck in one style of music and plus that's just not what we're about right now. Whatever we do its not consciously decided that we want to sell more modern or sell more old school. Some of that comes naturally and that's it. So I mean, in a way I understand if the new stuff doesn't appeal to people who were more into Something Wild or Hatebreeder but still it what we do. If you don't dig it, that's totally fine with me!
Karma: Considering you don't perform a lot of tunes from Something Wild, the fans would like to know if you would ever consider performing a Something Wild medley?
Alexi: We do play and will play songs from Something Wild if we get to play a set that's longer than 30 minutes. Whenever we play in the States itÆs always no longer than 30-40 minutes. So that's only like 6-8 songs so of course we're gonna want to put some new stuff in there instead of old stuff. But of course if we were to headline here someday, we would actually play something from Something Wild.
Karma: Here's a quick round of Speed Round Questions.
Alexi: Alright.
Karma: What's your mantra or rule of thumb that you live your life by?
Alexi: Umm, let me think. I don't really think about stuff, I just do it. And I guess that's what it is. I don't want to think to much, I'd just rather act.
Karma: Are you spiritual or religious?
Alexi: No, I'd don't have a religion at all. I don't believe in spirituality and that shit.
Karma: You have been dubbed captain of the drinking team and it's your mission to assemble a new drinking event for the Olympics, who would choose to be on your team & who would you oppose?
Alexi: A drinking team?
Karma: Yes.
Alexi: I would pick our sound guy, Hooch. I would also pickģso it could be anybody?
Karma: You got it, anybody you want!
Alexi: It would probably be Zakk Wylde, Dimebag DarrellģI don't know, who else drinks a lot? Let's just say there's only going to be 5 and let's get our other guitar player, Roope.
Karma: Who would you go up against?
Alexi: Probably some band that doesn't really drink! [we both laugh hysterically] I don't know, some straight edge, hardcore band! That would not be fair, but stillģif I could pickģ [we laugh]
Karma: Top 5 favorite movies?
Alexi: Oh manģtop 5. Hmmm, Amadeus, it's not like in any orderģ
Karma: Okay.
Alexi: Blues Brothers, I need moviesģfuck! [laughs] Sidd & Nancy and let em think, The Shining andģfuckģ Oh, I just saw this movie the other week and it was the funniest thing I had seen in years, Bad Santa, so I'm going to have to say that one!
Karma: Oh that is a funny movie!
Alexi: Yeah, definitely!
Karma: What's your favorite time of the year?
Alexi: I mean it's hard because in Finland we get really, really cold winters and in the summers are nice, their like 70░ and spring and autumn and the whole thing. It changes all the times but it's just hard to pick one. During summertime I start missing winter and wintertime I'm like, 'Shit, it should be summer!' But right now I will say summer.
Karma: Okay, what's you favorite color?
Alexi: Well I'm not going to say black because it's so obvious, you know but it's one of them. It is such a basic color though...uhhh, it changes all of the time but I would say dark blue right now.
Karma: What's underneath your bed?
Alexi: At home or on the tour bus? [laughs]
Karma: Let's go with home. [we both laugh]
Alexi: A bunch of stuff, maybe an occasional pizza box that I forgotģ
Karma: WhatÆs the worst thing thatÆs ever happened to you?
Alexi: A lot of bad things has happened to me so it's hard to pick one. Hold on, this requires some thinking definitely. Okay, I would have to say the worst feeling I ever had was whenģwell I used to be completely fucked in the head and I had a complete nervous breakdown. And I was in the hospital for like 5 days or whatever. So that was like the worst feeling I ever had.
Karma: Sorry to hear that!
Alexi: Yeah, but this was like 5 years ago or whatever but I'm okay now but I used to be really fucked in the head, it happens.
Karma: What's your best memory?
Alexi: Oh man, that's a tough one as well. I guess maybe it could be when we first got signed. And that was the first time I really got something out of something that I had been working on for years and years. It's kind of hard to explain but it was a special feeling in a way.
Karma: Do you play another instrument?
Alexi: Uhh, yeah, I like to play drums, well I play bass and guitar of course and I like to play keyboards but I'm really, really bad at it!
Karma: WhatÆs your favorite smell?
Alexi: Let me think, it all depends if I was hung over or not but I love the smell of beer but I also love the smell of coffee too. So it could be either one.
Karma: Live or dead: If you could host a dinner party of 5, whom would you invite?
Alexi: Probably everybody on my drinking team and that's about it! It would be a drinking party.
Karma: What pisses you off?
Alexi: A lot of things actually, people judging people on the basis of what they look like and by what they wear.
Karma: If not music, then what?
Alexi: Nothing! I honestly don't know what I would do because there's nothing else I can do and there's nothing else I want to do. And you know I dropped out of school when I was 16 and I don't know shit this is the only thing I know how to do. If not music, then I'd just have to be a bum.
Karma: If you could travel the spans of time, which era would you visit?
Alexi: I would buy a ticket to LA and visit the early 80's
Karma: What is your favorite day of the week?
Alexi: I don't know, Friday maybe Saturday.
Karma: If you could commission a band to do a cover song of yours, which song would it be?
Alexi: It could be any band, and they could be broken up, right?
Karma: Yes.
Alexi: Maybe Pantera doing "Needled 24/7"
Karma: If stranded on a Desert Island, whom would like to be marooned with?
Alexi: How many people?
Karma: As many as you wanted!
Alexi: Okayģa bunch of friends back home and of course; one of them has to be a female. [we both laugh] My best friends and stuff like that.
Karma: Thank you Alexi, I really appreciate it!
Alexi: You're welcome!

Limitations on patent-term extension under the Act are neatly summarized by the "rule of ones:" one patent extension per product, one patent extension per patent, and one product per patent extension.1 "One patent extension per product" refers to the statutory requirements that no other patent has been extended for the product,2 and that "in no event shall more than one patent be extended for the same regulatory review period of any product."3 "One patent extension per patent" reflects the requirement that the term of the patent has never been extended."4 The third rule, "one product per patent extension," derives from the goal of the Act to allow a restoration of patent term only for the product for which regulatory approval was sought. That is, only the product that served as the basis of the extension is exclusively covered by the patent during its extended term.
These rules adequately address most, but not all, patent-term extension issues. This article addresses one of the "ambiguous" outcomes under the rules of one, and how the courts are currently dealing with this issue. The question raised is this: If marketing approval for a particular form of a drug is granted, and the term of patent covering that form of the drug is extended under the Act, is it possible to extend the term of a patent on a different form of the drug, e.g., a different salt or free-base, or free-acid form of the same drug?ADDRESSING THE QUESTION
This question was considered by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Glaxo Operations UK Limited v. Quigg.5 Glaxo (now GlaxoSmithKline) sought a patent-term extension for cefuroxime axetil, which had been approved for marketing as a broad spectrum oral antibiotic under the trade name Ceftin. Cefuroxime sodium had been previously approved as an injectable antibiotic, marketed as both Zinacef and Kefurox. Glaxo's patent-term extension for cefuroxime axetil, an ester of cefuroxime, was denied by the US Patent and Trademark Office on the grounds that it was not the initial permitted commercial marketing or use of the product, a violation of the "one patent extension per product" rule. Glaxo argued that cefuroxime axetil is not the same "drug product" as cefuroxime sodium. The court agreed with Glaxo, reasoning that (a) the already approved drug was cefuroxime sodium; (b) a "drug product" under the Act means an "active ingredient of a new drug....including any salt or ester of the active ingredient" (35 U.S.C. § 156 (f)(2)); and (c) cefuroxime axetil is not a salt or ester of the cefuroxime sodium. In other words, cefuroxime axetil was not the same "active ingredient" as the cefuroxime sodium because it was not "a salt or ester" of cefuroxime sodium. This result is not illogical, because different drug forms could be considered to be different "drug products" based on differing pharmacokinetics and, sometimes, pharmacodynamics. That is, the two drugs might be considered to be different "active ingredients." The court's reasoning in Glaxo is not based on any demonstrated distinction between the two compounds at issue. Rather, it appears to rely on the misunderstanding that sodium salt of an active anionic compound cannot have an ester form. This reasoning would lead to diametrically opposed results, depending on whether the drug that was approved originally, was in a salt or acid form.

To me the worst thing seems to be a school principally to work with methods of fear, force and artificial authority. Such treatment destroys the sound sentiments, the sincerity and the self-confidence of pupils and produces a subservient subject.
It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of education have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. To the contrary, I believe that it would be possible to rob even a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness, if it were possible, with the aid of a whip, to force the beast to devour continuously, even when not hungry, especially if the food, handed out under such coercion, were to be selected accordingly.
-Albert Einstein
