Apple reproduces 1994 tablet to prove case against Samsung
0. phoneArena 23 Aug 2012, 03:18 posted on
It should come as no surprise that Apple has a deep pool of resources at its disposal. That was clearly evident this past Friday as the Apple v. Samsung trial was beginning to wind down...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

The problem is that Apple has such a minimalist design that its only unique design cue on the front is the f**king home button. Samsung didn't do that with its Galaxy Tabs. So what's left? A BLACK RECTANGLE WITH CURVED EDGES.
And the Knight Ridder tablet is....A BLACK RECTANGLE WITH CURVED EDGES.
Apple can't claim minor differences makes its product unique, because that destroys its entire goddamn case against Samsung as Samsung has minor differences in its products too.

is that the one where less than 10% said they bought a Tab thinking it was an iPad? You know.. because they couldnt read the giant "samsung" logo on the box, noticed there was not fruit on the box, or knew ANYTHING about the tablet to know that it wasnt an apple like that obvious google search bar at the top of HC tablets? lol
25. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
there is a small percent outhere that have heard of the iphone but doesnt know the iconic logo is on the back, or think that every tablet is made by Apple,
29. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
that's a very marginal %. And is that Samsung's fault they are too stupid to do the most basic research of "maybe I should see who's logo is on this box Im buying"??
no.. its not. :)

If that Fidler tablet is different than iPad, so is Galaxy Tab.
Being as vague as we can be, are we Apple?

Dude shutup, and let the court decide. You post the same crap everyday... Give it a rest.
11. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
You are missing the point -- the iPad is revolutionary in that it doesn't have a stylus and uses multi-touch. It is common knowledge that Apple didn't invent the modern day PC tablet (that was MicroSoft). Therefore, the prior art debate isn't just a tablet per se, it's what that tablet does.
The absence of a stylus is revolutionary (and worth repeating) because it means Apple create a new interface between the user and the tablet.
14. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
actually its not. The prior art that they are fighting over is apple's "patent" that is nothing more than a drawing of a rectangle with a screen. MS's tablets did not fit that description as they were filled with buttons and odd angles. It is not a fight over functionality. Its a fight over design.
19. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I agree with what you say, excepting the stylus. There were (and are) tablets and convertible laptops running various iterations of Windows that supported non-stylus use, but since they didn't have very large screen, using a stylus improved accuracy. What apple did was make a launcher with large fingertip-sized icons with nothing smaller than that for interaction, thus minimizing inaccuracy and the need for the accuracy of something slightly smaller than a fingertip. That said, styli are on the rebound, as folks want to be able to use them for things like Draw Something, or editing photos, or signing documents, graphic design, or even just doodles. It's what makes the Samsung Note series so remarkable in their flexibility to use either or, while offering additional benefits for improved functionality

I do not like Apple policy & Samsung copycat product.
Tell me, if Sony, Nokia, HTC & Motorola can make their Phone and Tablet different from Apple product, why Samsung can not. Because they just want to ride on Apple design success.
Did you check their data cable, packaging & other accessories. even they made a remote for their TV same as iPhone. Most of their product resemble Apple product. No other manufacturers did copy any product up to this extend.
Shamesung LOL.

do not lie.....rectangle with display had been before iPhone and will be after dead boring iPhone
17. rf1975 (Posts: 258; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
You ask Samsung why they copied dead boring design of iPhone and iPad, then you will know the truth.
23. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
So you are able to deny existence of a rectangle with some display before iPhone or iPad? Dont you need glasses?
30. rf1975 (Posts: 258; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
There were. But my question is is why samsung could not bring the atractive design first place by studying those rectangle before apple. I do not need glasses but it seems you need a good functioning brain.
31. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
If you look at Samsung's digital photo frame from 2006.....seems to me Samsung already did.
Now...the back is another story. But just looking at the front....what does that look like....
32. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
but I want just a rectangle with display....like car with 4 wheels.....it should be also patented?
34. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
look at samsung's entire line up. It didnt change that much before/after the iphone. They still look like Samsungs. The similarity to the iphone is mostly because they both had similar design language. If there were many adjustments to be more "iphone like" there werent many. Apple didnt create their designs in a vacuum.
15. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
exactly. memory card slot to differentiate? Well then, you just lost your own case, Apple. I hope they said that's what makes their iPad different from the older tablet, because then Samsung can use that exact statement against them.
"your honor, if all it takes for apple to feel different is the lack of a memory card slot, then the case should be excused since we have a memory card slot"
2. tedkord (Posts: 11626; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
You can't have it both ways, Apple. Either differences in size and aspect ratio matter or they don't
3. MeoCao (unregistered)
This tablet is different from iPad as much as iPad is different from SS ones.
4. cheetah2k (Posts: 1576; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
"The designer used the custom built replica to point out how the concept does not reflect the tablet described in Apple's design patent..."
Indeed it doesn't, but the Samsung Tablet does not have the same dimensional characteristics as the iPad either...
Apple you are one motherfcuking FailCake..

When you are very minimalist, the only things you can claim as your own are ... minimal. Have they patented the use of fingers yet?
21. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Wonder if I can still patent a car that's a box with four wheels. Then I can sue every car maker hehe
24. kingpet13 (Posts: 139; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
How could apple exactly reproduce a tablet that never went on the market? I understand that it is based off pictures, but if you never had an actual copy you can't possibly know exactly what the look and feel of the tablet ar, even though you can come pretty darn close. SS using this as a defense is saying that it uses apple's "rectangle patent". You can tell that is a black rectangle with rounded edges. But to exactly reproduce it without help from the original creators, it is extremely likely that they got some of these smaller details wrong. I do not believe this reproduction is true unless the company that made this tablet says it is.
27. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Apple is hoping the jury isnt paying attention with this latest ploy....and I sure hope Samsung's lawyers are and counter this with some of whats been said in the comments here.
Some of yall in the comment section might be fine lawyers.
28. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Wait. What the f**k?! (Pardon my French.) The jury is in the deliberations phase and Apple is still out there presenting exhibits? What happened to resting their cases?
This Koh's courtroom is a travesty of justice. What ever happened to the "discovery period" restrictions?
33. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I hate to compare but there is something in samsung's ripping off.
Really. Look at the first galaxy (the phone) and even now, samsung galaxy mini. Both of them look like an iphone. Inspiration? Ok, but to some extent.
Tablets? I think that samsung purposely "borrowed" many elements from apple hoping for get on the apple wave of popularity.
Apple couldn't keep their hair on any longer and that's the beginning of this stupid war.
it's not about its "squarish" or "being more rectangular or less".
It's all about design and how far the other companies are allowed to go to compete fair play.
Anyway, I have to admit that it should be solved a long time ago and those trials are like a reality show.
The sad thing is that it hurt most us, users.
35. flamencoguy (Posts: 107; Member since: 04 Aug 2012)
Every company should patent the smallest little computer action/function(phones, tablets and PCs etc) to protect themselves from Apple and also sue them if they dare to copy any little gadget. DO NOT DEMO any new technology to Apple.
Take your lessons from Xerox Palo Alto Labs did, like Mitsubishi (Diamond Touch) did.
Dare to be different from them. There are many ways to do things. Patent your ideas.
Apple aint the only innovator around. They certainly did not invent 2G or 3G or 4G functionality. Go to 5G and leave them in the dust !!
Thay got away with murder as far as I am concerned. Just remember "slide to unlock", "snap back", rectangular and rounded corners is all they can do. They call this IP.
Very sophisticated stuff ain't it?

The perfect mother's ring for a mother of two. Personalize this intertwined name ring and your babies will forever be wrapped around your finger.
(for more personalization ideas and details see the Product Description tab below)
Some things happen when you least expect it and that is exactly how Nelle and Lizzy was started. After the birth of my (Page's) third son, I received a triple band ring from my husband. Although I understood the meaning of the three bands I thought the ring would be even more special if it had the name of each of my boys engraved on the outside. So I went to numerous jewelers trying to find someone who could complete what I thought was an easy task but to my surprise could not find anyone. Everyone I spoke with said it was "impossible". So I called my friend Martha who I knew was not only experienced in jewelry design and retail, she has a heart of gold and a work ethic that can not be matched. It only took one meeting and we were on our journey to make the impossible a reality.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Aside from Matt McGloin, no Penn State player benefited more from the Bill O'Brien era than record-setting receiver Allen Robinson.
And just like O'Brien, Robinson's time at PSU has come to an end.
The receiver is forgoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft, where he is expected to be selected late in the first round or early second round.
"It was a great honor to play at Penn State," Robinson said in a university statement. "I am blessed to have played with, and for, the people in the Penn State football program. This is a decision that I believe is best for my family and I, and I wish all the best to the university and all my teammates."
Robinson entered the 2012 season as a total unknown after catching only three passes in 2011, but he wound up breaking the school's single-season receptions record with 77. He shattered that mark this season with 97 catches and also set a school record with 1,432 receiving yards.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Robinson received several first-team All-America honors in 2013 and was named Big Ten Receiver of the Year each of the past two seasons.
The most memorable of his many achievements came when he made a spectacular leaping catch at the 1-yard line in the closing seconds of regulation against Michigan this year. The Nittany Lions scored to tie the game, then won in four overtimes,
"It was a pleasure playing with this dude, and I can't explain how happy I am for him. Best of luck and keep climbing," quarterback Christian Hackenberg tweeted Thursday, along with a picture of him and Robinson.
Interim coach Larry Johnson tweeted, "We will soon have another Nittany Lion to watch on Sundays! Best wishes to the talented Allen Robinson as he enters the @NFL Draft."
Golden nugget
Miami (Fla.) coach Al Golden is considered a strong candidate for the Penn State job, and the reporter who covers the Hurricanes for The Associated Press had some interesting tweets Thursday night.
"The Al Golden Watch at Miami is very, very real," Tim Reynolds tweeted.
"If you all want a guess, I say Golden stays put. But a lot of people around that school are flat-out worried. We shall see."
SUBHD: Paterno faction issue
Bill O'Brien made some pointed comments about the so-called "Paterno people" who made things difficult at times during his tenure. His comments were made a month ago but just appeared Tuesday night on Pennlive.com.
Joyner sidestepped a question about how the search committee will address the topic with prospective candidates who might fear potentially feeling undermined by "Paterno people."
"Look, it's a good question, but let me say this," the AD said. "Our fans are passionate. Our fans believe in Penn State. And going forward, the new coach is going to understand that, that our fans are great and they're tremendous and that they have energy, and perhaps that's why they express themselves.?"I think that it's a great opportunity for a head coach, and that's what I'll talk to them about, to come here with a place that has a lot of life and a lot of interest. And I view our great fan energy as a positive, and I think that a new head coach will find that as well."?SUBHD: Players support LJ
It's not uncommon for players to back a coach already on the staff when the head coach leaves. Penn State's players did that with interim coach Tom Bradley in 2011 after Joe Paterno was fired.
This time around, the well-respected Johnson is PSU's interim head coach, and the longtime defensive line coach is being championed by the players to get the job on a permanent basis.
"I know me and many other players would love to have coach Johnson as our head coach, he's a great leader and will be a great head coach," defensive end Deion Barnes tweeted.
Athletic director Dave Joyner said Johnson will be considered for the head coaching job if he's interested. He also was asked if the players will have any input into the decision.
"Only the search committee, who is a tremendous committee, has a direct influence over the search results, and they'll do a tremendous job," Joyner said. "It's a great group of people. I can't emphasize that more. ?"We certainly are sensitive to our student-athletes and what their attitudes are and thoughts and feelings always."
Johnson will meet the media for the first time as the interim coach today. He will be on a conference call this with reporters morning and will hold a press gathering at the Lasch Building in the afternoon.
SUBHD: Hackenberg factor
Hackenberg is the so-called franchise quarterback, and keeping him in the program could go a long way to determining how successful the next coach will be over at least the next year or two.
Given Hackenberg's importance in the equation, Joyner was asked if the coaching search will focus on candidates who would help keep the quarterback happy.
"Christian Hackenberg is a tremendous asset at Penn State, first of all, as a human being," Joyner said. "He's just a great person. He's a great student. His maturity is off the charts, as we all know and have all learned, not just on the field, but off the field. So we were very, very interested in Christian Hackenberg as a Penn Stater.?"I think Christian will tell you he came here because of Penn State. He loved Bill O'Brien, but the university itself is such a foundation in greatness, not just in football, but every aspect of the university. So that had a lot of bearing on Christian coming here. I'm not speaking for him, but I think, if you ask him, he'd probably respond that way."
Does that mean his opinion will carry any extra weight?
"I think all of our student-athletes get the same consideration, and we want a coach that can embrace Christian as well as the student-athletes that are here and one that they'll be excited about," the AD said.

Millennium will feature panels, seminars and keynote speakers involving all aspects of the music industry; including record labels, artist management, marketing and promotion, the internet, copyrights and royalties, songwriting and publishing, and much more. Along with the daytime conference and trade show, nearly 300 different bands and artists – some from as far away as Greece and Kuwait – will showcase their music and talents in various venues throughout the Harrisburg area. The Millennium Music Conference provides information and networking opportunities for bands and musicians; one band whose first exposure to the music industry happened at the 1999 Millennium Music Conference just won their first Grammy Award last weekend.

PANTC is the real, but somewhat facetious name of a Western New York reading group in bioethics and the philosophy of medicine that has been meeting every month for the past few years in the back room of J.P. Bullfeathers restaurant on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. It is funded by the Hourani Fund in the UB philosophy department; most of the speakers at this conference are regular attendees. They include faculty members and graduate students from UB and faculty members from the philosophy departments of Fredonia State College, Niagara University and Canisius College.
The conference's keynote address, "Abortion and Thomson's People vs. Seeds Case," will be presented at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 2 by John Martin Fischer, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Riverside. Fischer teaches ethics, philosophy of law, theories of distributive justice and philosophy of religion, and serves as president of the Pacific Division of the American Philosophical Association.
He is the author of many papers and essays on moral responsibility and free will, including "Abortion and self-determination" (1991) and "Abortion, autonomy, and control over one's body" (2003).
His talk will address the arguments made in "A Defense of Abortion," a famous essay first published in 1971 by moral philosopher Judith Jarvis Thompson in which she employs thought experiments to argue for the moral permissibility of induced abortion. Her imaginative examples and controversial conclusions have made the paper what philosopher William Parent calls perhaps "the most widely reprinted essay in all of contemporary philosophy."
Speakers from the UB Department of Philosophy, College of Arts and Sciences, include:
In addition, Stephen Wear, UB associate professor of medicine, will speak about "Informed Consent: Theory and Practice." Wear teaches the philosophy of medicine and is co-director of the Center for Clinical Ethics and Humanities in Health Care.
Representatives from the philosophy departments of Niagara University, Fredonia State College and Canisius College also will speak at the conference. They are:

The Galva-Williamsfield high school boys baseball team tallied seven runs in the first three innings and then rode the dominating pitching of Tyler Doubet to shout out Lexington 8-0 in the Class 1A Illinois Wesleyan Sectional on Saturday afternoon.
The win sends the Wildcats into the Class 1A Super-Sectionals at the University of Illinois in Champaign on Monday. G-W will play at noon against the winner of the LeRoy Sectional, played today between Gilman Iroqouis West and Sidell-Jamaica. Results were unavailable.
After denting the scoreboard first with a pair of runs in the second inning today, the Wildcats racked up five runs in the third inning to grab an early comfortable margin.
From there, Doubet kept Lexington in check. He allowed just one hit on the day.
Lexington committed five errors, leading to several of G-W's runs.
Lexington, just 10-9 on the season heading into the game, had eliminated Ridgewood on Friday, upending the favored Spartans 5-3.
Today's game was moved up nearly a half hour before its scheduled 11 a.m. start, in an attempt to avoid having rain wash out the contest. The last half of the game was played in intermittent sprinkles and light rain, but did not stop play.

- Best Popcorn I have every eaten!
I purchased the Near Naked Popcorn at Christmas during a road show at CostCo.
"I'm definitely impressed". This is the absolute best popcorn that I have ever eaten in my life. EVERY single morsel perfectly cooked. I ran out today, and went to CostCo thinking I would pick up a couple more bags. Unfortunately,they are no longer stocking this item. Until they come to their senses, I guess I'll have to mail order. But, in the meantime I heard of another road show in another town. I'll be making the drive--it's worth the trip!

Drone crashes into crowd at Va. bull run
FAA investigating, spectators injured after drone falls out of sky
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a drone fell out of the sky and into a crowd of people at a bull run in Virginia.
The remote-controlled aircraft was one of two flying over the "Great Bull Run" at Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie County, Richmond TV station WTVR reported.
The aircraft was capturing video of the bull run and tomato fight.
Event organizers said five people were struck when the aircraft fell. Three of the five people received treatment for minor injuries.
"We are investigating to see if the person flying the unmanned aircraft violated any FAA regulations, particularly the part that says 'No person may operate an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another,'" the FAA said in a statement.
WTVR reached out to the owner of the remote-controlled aircraft but has not yet received a reply.
After viewing the video, experts in the field of model aviation said it appeared the remote-controlled aircraft lost its signal with the transmitter before falling.

In his first novel in more than a decade, award-winning author David Malouf reimagines the pivotal narrative of Homer's Iliad—one of the most famous passages in all of literature.
This is the story of the relationship between two grieving men at war: fierce Achilles, who has lost his beloved Patroclus in the siege of Troy; and woeful Priam, whose son Hector killed Patroclus and was in turn savaged by Achilles. A moving tale of suffering, sorrow, and redemption, Ransom is incandescent in its delicate and powerful lyricism and its unstated imperative that we imagine our lives in the glow of fellow feeling.

David Malouf—winner of the inaugural Australia–Asia Literary Award, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, the Prix Femina Étranger and the Los Angeles Times Book Award—is the author of, among other works, Remembering Babylon, An Imaginary Life and The Conversations at Curlow Creek. He lives in Australia.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
The sea has many voices. The voice this man is listening for is the voice of his mother. He lifts his head, turns his face to the chill air that moves in across the gulf, and tastes its sharp salt on his lip. The sea surface bellies and glistens, a lustrous silver-blue-a membrane stretched to a fine transparency where once, for nine changes of the moon, he had hung curled in a dream of pre-existence and was rocked and comforted. He hunkers down now on the shelving pebbles at its edge, bunches his cloak between his thighs. Chin down, shoulders hunched, attentive.
The gulf can be wild at times, its voices so loud in a man's head that it is like standing stilled in the midst of battle. But today in the dawn light it is pondlike. Small waves slither to his sandalled feet, then sluice away with a rattling sound as the smooth stones loosen and go rolling.
The man is a fighter, but when he is not fighting he is a farmer, earth is his element. One day, he knows, he will go back to it. All the grains that were miraculously called together at his birth to make just these hands, these feet, this corded forearm, will separate and go their own ways again. He is a child of earth. But for the whole of his life he has been drawn, in his other nature, to his mother's element. To what, in all its many forms, as ocean, pool, stream, is shifting and insubstantial. To what accepts, in a moment of stillness, the reflection of a face, a tree in leaf, but holds nothing, and itself cannot be held.
As a child he had his own names for the sea. He would repeat them over and over under his breath as a way of calling to her till the syllables shone and became her presence. In the brimming moonlight of his sleeping chamber, at midday in his father's garden, among oakwoods when summer gales bullied and the full swing of afternoon came crashing, he felt himself caught up and tenderly enfolded as her low voice whispered on his skin. Do you hear me, Achilles? It is me, I am still with you. For a time I can be with you when you call.
He was five then, six. She was his secret. He floated in the long soft swirlings of her hair.
But she had warned him from the beginning that she would not always be with him. She had given him up. That was the hard condition of his being and of all commerce between them. One day when he put his foot down on the earth he knew at once that something was different. A gift he had taken as natural to him, the play of a dual self that had allowed him, in a moment, to slip out of his hard boyish nature and become eel-like, fluid, weightless, without substance in his mother's arms, had been withdrawn. From now on she would be no more than a faint far-off echo to his senses, an underwater humming.
He had grieved. But silently, never permitting himself to betray to others what he felt.
Somewhere in the depths of sleep his spirit had made a crossing and not come back, or it had been snatched up and transformed. When he bent and chose a stone for his slingshot it had a new weight in his hand, and the sling had a different tension. He was his father's son and mortal. He had entered the rough world of men, where a man's acts follow him wherever he goes in the form of story. A world of pain, loss, dependency, bursts of violence and elation; of fatality and fatal contradictions, breathless leaps into the unknown; at last of death-a hero's death out there in full sunlight under the gaze of gods and men, for which the hardened self, the hardened body, had daily to be exercised and prepared.
A breeze touches his brow. Far out where the gulf deepens, small waves kick up, gather, then collapse, and new ones replace them; and this, even as he watches, repeats itself, and will do endlessly whether he is here or not to observe it: that is what he sees. In the long vista of time he might already be gone. It is time, not space, he is staring into.
For nine years winter and summer they have been cooped up here on the beach, all the vast horde of them, Greeks of every clan and kingdom, from Argos and Sparta and Boeotia, from Euboea, Crete, Ithaca, Cos and the other islands, or like himself and his men, his Myrmidons, from Phthia. Days, years, season after season; an endless interim of keeping your weapons in good trim and your keener self taut as a bowstring through long stretches of idleness, of restless, patient waiting, and shameful quarrels and unmanly bragging and talk.
Such a life is death to the warrior spirit. Which if it is to endure at the high point needs action-the clash of arms that settles a quarrel quickly, then sends a man back, refreshed in spirit, to being a good farmer again.
War should be practised swiftly, decisively. Thirty days at most, in the weeks between new spring growth and harvest, when the corn is tinder-dry and ripe for the invader's brand, then back to the cattle pace of the farmer's life. To calendar days and what comes with them; to seedtime and ploughing and the garnering of grain. To tramping in your old sandals across sunstruck fields, all dry sticks and the smell of wild mint underfoot. To sitting about in the shade doling out the small change of gossip, and listening, while flies buzz and the sweat streams from your armpits, to interminable disputes-the administering of justice on home ground. To pruning olives, and watching, over months, the swelling of a broodmare's belly or the sprouting of the first pale blade among sods. To noting how far a son has grown since last year's notch on a doorjamb.
In these nine years his own son, Neoptolemus, away there in his grandfather's house, has been growing up without him. Days, weeks, season after season.
The sun is climbing now. He pushes to his feet. Stands for a last moment filled with his thoughts; his mind, even in its passive state, the most active part of him. Then, head down, his cloak drawn close about him, starts back along the sloping beach towards the camp.
There is a singing in the air, so high-pitched that it might be spirits. It comes from the rigging of the ships that swing at anchor, recent arrivals, or are drawn up in pinewood cradles along the strand. There are more than a thousand of them. Their spars, in silhouette against the pallid sky, are like a forest magically transported. After so many months ashore, their hulls are white as bone. They stretch in a line back to the camp, and on the sea side make one of its walls.
He moves quickly now, it is cold out of the sun. Walking awkwardly against the slope of the beach, he has a drunken gait. His sandals slip on the pebbles, some of which are as large and smooth as duck eggs. Between them, brown-gold bladder-wrack still damp from the tide.
When the last of the line of ships is behind him, he pauses and takes a long look out across the gulf. The sea, all fire, spreads flat to the horizon. So solid-looking and without depth, so enticing as a place to move to, that a man might be tempted to make a sharp turn right and try walking on it, and only when it opened and took him down discover he had been tricked by a freak of nature.
But the sea is not where it will end. It will end here on the beach in the treacherous shingle, or out there on the plain. That is fixed, inevitable. With the pious resignation of the old man he will never become, he has accepted this.
But in some other part of himself, the young man he is resists, and it is the buried rage of that resistance that drives him out each morning to tramp the shore. Not quite alone. With his ghosts.
Patroclus, his soulmate and companion since childhood.
Hector, implacable enemy.
Patroclus had simply appeared one afternoon in his father's court, a boy three years older than himself and nearly a head taller. Thin-jawed, intense, with the hands and feet, already disproportionately large, of the man he was growing into.
Achilles had been hunting in one of the ravines beyond the palace. He had killed a hare. Great whoops of triumph preceding him, he had come bounding up the steps into the courtyard to show his father what he had got.
Ten years old. Long-haired, wiry, burnt black by the Phthian sun. Still half-wild. His soul not yet settled in him.
Peleus was angry at the intrusion. He turned to reprove the boy, but gentled when he saw what it was. He gestured to Achilles to be still. Then, with a small helpless showing of his palms-You see what it is, I too am a fond parent-apologised to his guest, Menoetius, King of Opus, for this unintended discourtesy.
Achilles, still panting from his long run in across the fields, set himself to be patient. Idly at first, with no intimation of what all this would one day mean to him, assuming still that the centre of the occasion was the hare trailing gouts of blood where it hung from his wrist, he stood shifting from foot to foot, waiting for the visitor's business to be done and his father's attention to be his.
The story Menoetius had to tell was a shocking one.
The boy with the big hands and feet was his son, Patroclus. Ten days ago, in a quarrel over a game of knucklebones, he had struck and killed one of his companions, the ten-year-old son of Amphidamas, a high official of the royal court. Menoetius was bringing the boy to Phthia as an outcast seeking asylum.
In a voice still hollow with wonder at how, in an instant, so many lives could be flung about and broken, the unhappy man led them back to the fatal morning.
Two players, fiercely engaged in the rivalries of the game, squatting in the shade of a colonnade and laughing. Taunting one another as young boys will. Eyes raised to follow the knucklebones as they climb, with nothing untoward in view.
For a long moment the taws hang there at the top of their flight; as if, in the father's grave retelling of these events, he were allowing for a gap to be opened where this time round some higher agency might step in and, with the high-handed indifference of those who have infinite power over the world of conjunction and accident, reverse what is about to occur. The silence is screwed up a notch. Even the cicadas have shut off mid-shriek.
The boy whose fate is suspended here stands with parted lips, though no breath passes between them; lost, as they all are, in a story he might be hearing for the first time and which has not yet found its end.
Achilles, too, stands spellbound. Like a sleeper who has stumbled in on another's dream, he sees what is about to happen but can neither move nor cry out to prevent it. His right arm is so heavy (he has forgotten the hare) that he may never lift it again. The blow is about to come.
The boy Patroclus tilts his chin, thin brows drawn in expectation, a little moisture lighting the down on his upper lip, and for the first time Achilles meets his gaze. Patroclus looks at him. The blow connects, bone on bone. And the boy, his clear eyes still fixed on Achilles, takes it. With just a slight jerk of the shoulders, an almost imperceptible intake of breath.
Achilles is as stunned as if the blow was to himself. He turns quickly to his father, on whose word so much depends.
But there is no need to add his own small weight of entreaty. Peleus too is moved by the spectacle of this boy with the mark of the outcast upon him, the brand of the killer, who stands waiting in a kind of no-man's-land to be readmitted to the companionship of men.
So it was settled. Patroclus was to be his adoptive brother, and the world, for Achilles, reassembled itself around a new centre. His true spirit leapt forth and declared itself. It was as if he had all along needed this other before he could become fully himself. From this moment on he could conceive of nothing in the life he must live that Patroclus would not share in and approve.
But things did not always go smoothly between them. There were times when Patroclus was difficult to approach, too touchily aware that, for all Achilles' brotherly affection, he himself was a courtier, a dependant here. He would draw back, all pride and a hurt that could not easily be assuaged. What Achilles saw then on the clouded brow was what he had been so struck by in the first glance that had passed between them-the daunted look that had captured his soul before he even knew that he had one-and he would hear again, as if the memory were his own, what Patroclus was hearing: the knock of bone on bone as two lives collided and were irrevocably changed.
No, Achilles told himself, not two lives, three. Because when Patroclus relived the moment now, he too was there. Breath held, too dazed, too spirit-bound to move, he looked on dreamlike as that other-the small son of Amphidamas, whose face he had never seen-was casually struck aside to make way for him.
He thought often of that boy. They were mated. But darkly, flesh to ghost. As in a different way, but through the same agency and in the same moment, he had been mated with Patroclus.
The end when it came was abrupt, though not entirely accidental.
After weeks of truce, the war had resumed with a new ferocity, at first in isolated skirmishes, then, when it emerged that there was division among the Greeks and that Achilles, the most formidable of them, had withdrawn his forces, in a general assault. Hector, slaughtering on all sides, had stormed the walls of the encampment and fought his way to the Greek ships. The Greek cause had become desperate.
So too had Patroclus. Held back from the fight because of Achilles' quarrel with the generals, he was going earnestly from place to place about the camp hearing news of the death of this man, the wounding to near death of another, all dear companions. He said nothing, but his pure heart was torn, Achilles saw, between their old deep affection for one another, which till now had been beyond question, and a kind of doubt, of shame even. He sees my indifference to the fate of these Greeks as a stain to my honour, Achilles told himself and to his own.

Book Description Vintage, 2011. Book Condition: New. Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: Praise for David Malouf andRansom "Impressive. . . . That this tender novel lingers so long and hauntingly in the mind is a testament both to Malouf's poetry and to his reverence for the endless power of myth." -The New York Times Book Review "An eloquent and deeply moving tale of war, kingship, fatherhood, our common mortal lot, and-not incidentally-the enduring power of a good story. . . . Every sentence sings." -Dallas Morning News "Subtle and extremely moving. . . . Highly inventive. . . . Ransomis a rich meditation on literary genre. . . . Embroidered with imaginative details that often reanimate familiar elements of the epic. . . . Like Euripides, Malouf has scrutinized the vast fabric of Homer's story, looking for open spaces in the weave to insert his own design." -The New Yorker "Thrillingly profound. . . . Malouf's prose feels timeless-lyric and direct in ways that recall the source material yet seem wholly contemporary." -San Francisco Chronicle "The 'matter of Troy' has provided the world with timeless examples of heroism, nobility, cleverness and tragic destiny. InRansom, Malouf adds to this great tradition. . . .Ransomreturns again and again to the fundamental human need for story and storytelling." -The Washington Post "Malouf is at once powerful and tender." -Los Angeles Times "A writer with great imaginative powers and a gift for acute psychological characterization." -Boston Globe "Malouf may fairly be called Australia's greatest novelist, and the reasons why are all here, in an economical package-the penetration of his mind into hearts and motivations; the limpid, lucid prose; the bracing immediacy of the story, the art of his artlessness. A simple tale, cobbled from a few lines of an ancient text, but Malouf brings Achilles and Priam and the wagon driver to turbulent life. . . . A remarkable feat." -The Oregonian "Exquisite. . . . Lovely and moving. . . . Malouf doesn't exploit Homer'sIliad; he fully respects its majesty and at the same time fulfills his own deep need to link the distant past to the terrors of the present.Ransomis a joy to read." -Providence Journal-Bulletin "Vivid. . . . Priam's character [has] a warmth and immediacy that reflects Malouf's skill for animating historical figures." -The Wall Street Journal "Remarkable. . . . Highly evocative. . . . That [Malouf] is able to cut such an epic tale down to size (and in the process make it his own) is truly a testament to his gift as a novelist." -Sacramento Book Review "[A] lithe, graceful and deeply moving tale. . . . These pages ofRansomare nothing short of magical. Malouf's prose is delicate, marvellously alert to the natural world and endowed with a quality that has one name only: wisdom." -The Sydney Morning Herald "[Malouf is] a storyteller of achievement, for whom simple things gracefully become totems for deeper thought." -Philadelphia Inquirer "Lyrical, witty, gentle, this is above all a story of transformation. . . . Immensely moving." -The Independent(London) "Though Malouf's sparingly deployed details, vigorous language, and sly wit humanize these tragic heroes, the story is unmistakably epic and certainly the stuff of legend." -Publishers Weekly(starred review).

Union Faces Charges for Attempting to Bribe Employees with Money, Immigration Promises
Ironworker organizers mixed threats, bribes in an attempt to goad employees into supporting their union
Toledo, OH (February 13, 2013) – With the help of National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a Nova Services employee has filed unfair labor practice charges against the Ironworkers Local 55 union for attempting to bribe and threaten him and his coworkers into supporting a recent union organizing drive.
Fifteen other Nova Services employees have also retained a Foundation staff attorney to represent them.
Ironworkers Local 55 is currently engaged in an aggressive organizing campaign at Nova Services facilities. In August 2012, a union official told employees at an organizing meeting that he could provide them with legal immigration status in exchange for supporting the union. Union operatives also made similar offers individually to at least six employees.
Later that month, union officials threatened to report their employer's immigration violations if employees failed to support the Ironworkers' organizing drive. Union officials have continued to make similar threats and offers over the past six months.
The charge details how union organizers also resorted to outright bribery to obtain employee support. In August, one union organizer offered a worker $50,000 in exchange for supporting the union's campaign. Another worker was offered $3,000 to back the union. Other employees were offered weekly payments and waivers for union initiation fees.
The charges will now be investigated by the National Labor Relations Board, a federal agency responsible for administering private-sector labor law.
"Instead of making a straightforward case to employees for their union, Ironworker operatives resorted to threats and outright bribery," said Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation. "The union's underhanded strategy once again emphasizes the importance of secret ballot elections in the workplace, which ensure that employees are free from threats, bribery, or coercion when making their decision about whether or not to support a union."

The trove of 33 letters, written from 1950 to 1964, to Reverend Joseph Leonard, who lived in Dublin, will be auctioned on June 10 at Sheppard's Irish Auction House in Durrow, Ireland.
Kennedy, who died in 1994, was a woman who kept her private life well hidden. She never granted an interview after she left the Washington, D.C.
In the letters, some written on her trademark blue stationery, Kennedy reveals her fears that John F. Kennedy would have extramarital affairs, as well as her deep despair after he was assassinated in 1963.
The auction house's Phillip Sheppard told the Irish Times the letters come from "private sources." They are, he says, "her autobiography for the years 1950-1964." And the estimates are as high as $1.65 million for the collection.
Kennedy, then 21, was introduced to Leonard, then 73, by one of her family members during a visit to Dublin in 1950. The two met only twice over the course of 14 years. (Leonard died in 1964.)
In 1952, she wrote to Leonard that she was "terribly much in love" with her then-fiancé, a New York stockbroker named John Husted. But he wasn't the only man she had feelings for. She also noted that she'd met JFK, then a 35-year-old congressman.
"I think I'm in love with [him]" she wrote "If he ever does ask me to marry him, it will be for rather practical reasons – because his career is this driving thing with him."
Family and InfidelityShe also wrote candidly of her concerns that JFK might stray. "He's like my father in a way," she wrote to the priest in the early days of her romance with the future U.S. president. "Loves the chase and is bored with the conquest and once married, needs proof he's still attractive, so flirts with other women and resents you. I see how that nearly killed Mummy."
Kennedy also confided how their relationship gave her "an amazing insight on politicians – they really are a breed apart." And she described him as being consumed by ambition "like Macbeth."
Still, she admitted, the power was intoxicating. "Maybe I'm just dazzled and picture myself in a glittering world of crowned heads and Men of Destiny," she wrote in 1953, "and not just a sad little housewife."
After his 1963 assassination, Kennedy wrote in her black-edged stationery, "I always would have rather lost my life than lost Jack," before adding: "I think God must have taken Jack to show the world how lost we would be without him, but that is a strange way of thinking to me."
It's an extraordinary discovery about the glamorous and guarded first lady. "We know next to nothing about Jackie's private thoughts about anything," Pamela Keogh, author of Jackie Style, tells PEOPLE. "The letters are fascinating because they show, clearly and honestly, she went into her marriage with wide open eyes and she knew exactly what was going on. Even from her early twenties. You also see what the private Jackie was like as a friend – how warm and open she could be with someone she trusted, and how thoughtful and vulnerable she was when she let her guard down."

New Genetic Clues to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Feb. 23, 2011 -- An international team of researchers says it has found a gene and its associated protein that appears to play a key role in how well women withstand stress and fear, which may influence the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a stressful event.
The protein, known as pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), appears to be controlled by estrogen, which may help explain why women have far higher rates of PTSD than men.
If the research can be duplicated, the discovery may one day lead to new tests and treatments for the disabling disorder, which studies indicate may affect as many as one in 10 women.
"Anytime we find something strong biologically, in a mental health-related issue, it's important because it helps remind everyone -- from the patients to the doctors to the insurance companies -- that these are real biological diseases," says study researcher Kerry Ressler, MD, PhD, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Emory University in Atlanta.
Researchers who were not involved in the study praised its comprehensiveness and called its conclusions tantalizing. "The findings that are reported are extremely interesting and potentially very exciting," says Ned H. Kalin, MD, the Hedberg Professor and Chair of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. "It's potentially a new lead from the standpoint of understanding the molecular underpinnings of stress-related psychopathology."
"The cautionary note is that, more and more, we're learning that most psychiatric illnesses are determined by multiple genes and environmental factors interacting and that each of the genes involved is contributing just a little bit to the risk," says Kalin, who is studying the genetic underpinnings of anxiety. "And so while this looks like it's an important lead, it shouldn't be misconstrued as the only thing, as a silver bullet."
The study is published in the journal Nature.
A Biomarker for PTSD
In an impressive bit of scientific detective work, Ressler and colleagues first took blood and saliva samples from 1,200 men and women who had experienced trauma in an inner-city environment. Examples of those traumas were shootings, gang or drug-related violence, or rape, Ressler says.

IRS scandal moves closer to Obama

Real intellegent remark.
Since the rep party can't get anything else right we might as well turn everything into a conspiracy.

Hard x-rays have wavelengths comparable to the distance between atoms. Essentially everything we know about the atomic structure of materials is based on results from x-ray and neutron diffraction. From advanced ceramics to catalysts, from semiconductor technology to the frontiers of medicine, and from new magnetic materials and devices to framework compounds used to sequester radioactive waste, crystallography using hard x-ray diffraction techniques at synchrotron radiation facilities plays a crucial role in our ability to understand and control the world in which we live.
The scattering of x-rays from protein crystals is the most powerful method of determining the three-dimensional structure of large biological molecules (macromolecules). Because macromolecules are large and flexible, their crystals tend to be small, imperfect, and weakly diffracting. In many cases, the intensity, small beam size, and collimation of a synchrotron beam is vital for successful results.
Soft x-ray scattering techniques employ the excitation of electrons in relatively shallow core energy levels (100–2000 eV) to probe the electronic structure and other properties of various kinds of matter. The sample is illuminated with monochromatic soft x-rays, and the scattered photons are detected over a small angular range. In the elastic scattering mode, one measures the speckle diffraction pattern. In the inelastic mode, the scattered photons are passed through a spectrometer and analyzed.

If such precise runout can't be achieved, then either the collet, nut, or holder may need replaced. This video from Techniks explains how to check the runout on a collet chuck toolholder.
