We selected nine up-and-coming dynamic duos from the NHL's top young players, and an odd thing happened when trying to find a cover photo—not a single one of the pairings had been caught on film together.
Not yet anyway.
There was a time when Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk had never been captured out on the ice together. When Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews weren't in every other picture with each other. There was a point when zero photographic evidence of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin even knowing each other existed.
Now even a quick Google image search will return all the evidence that is needed, but who will the dynamic duos be in the future?
How long until Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko are recognized as the future of the St. Louis Blues? When will Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov begin to fill score sheets together?
For the sake of this slideshow, a prospect is someone who hasn't yet played more than one full season in the NHL. A lot of these guys have carved out roles as professionals, but haven't reached their peak as players.

Cost to reload 1000 rounds of 357 SIG??
I'm getting a 550B for the express purpose of reloading 357 SIG. What is the cost of loading 1000 rounds of 357 SIG? I'm talking about good practice rounds, not junk or sniper handloads. What are your formulas (broken down by component cost if possible) for economical loading?

I was figuring it to be the shy side of $100, depending on your availability of existing cases and your bullet choice. Depends if you want standard FMJ or if the more economical TMJ plated is okay.

Assuming you already have the brass.
Checked the last batch of components I bought and here's what target / practice ammo cost me.
Bullets 124 gr PFP .048
Powder (PowerPistol) .023
Primer .017
Total .088 each
Bullets are typically West Coast or Rainier. All items were purchased from a local shop. Mail order on tips is cheaper, but the shop wil stock just about anything you want, so I pay a little more to support him.

Not to be rude, but this stuff is easy to figure out and will be more accurate if you do it yourself. The reason being, we don't know what you are going to want to load. We don't know what quantities you are going to buy in etc. By exploring the catalogs and websites, you can come up with an estimate of what YOU want to load. You can pick out what bullet looks good to you. If you have saved brass from factory ammo, then you don't have to consider that etc. Just look at the websites owned by the powder companies; Hodgdon, Alliant etc. You can find the loading data there. You can look at websites like www.midwayusa.com or huntingtons or Graff and Sons. They sell everything you need to reload. Again, you pick the stuff you want to use and total it up. If you are unsure what bullet/powder/primer to use, do a search on here to see what some faviorite loads are. Again, the powder websites will be another source for that info.
By the way, there are 7000 grains of powder to the pound.
Not trying to be a smart a** just trying to get you the most accurate info possible.
If you are trying to save money, just like everything else, you need to buy in quantity. This takes more of an outlay of cash, but in the end saves you money. Also, when you need ammo or just want to relaod for something to do, you have the components there to do it. I actually see guys buying 100 primers at a time. I don't get that.
You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

Nope, this is the type of info I am looking for. Figured I would ask the guys that know before I go around mixing and matching stuff without the benefit of experience.

Well, I didn't want to sound like I was putting you off, but without a lot more details it would be hard to estimate. You know all the details, not to mention the fact that shoppng for reloading stuff to me is a lot of fun. So.............you can check out all the bullets available, the powders, different brands of brass etc. Decide what you are going to do with the load and buy accordingly. Buy a couple good reloading manuals and read them from cover to cover. Another good source of info is to call the bullet and powder manufacturers and talk to them. They have always been very helpful to me and right on the money with their advice.

Goose Creek police asked for help identifying two men accused of using a stolen credit card last week.
A woman told police she parked her blue Chrysler Town and Country van at her Sully Street home about 8 p.m. Dec. 4., and forgot her wallet inside the vehicle.
She noticed her wallet missing when she came outside the next morning, and several items from her glove compartment were scattered on her front passenger seat, an incident report states.
The woman told police she must have left the door unlocked because she didnt notice any forced entry into the vehicle.
A surveillance camera captured two men using one of the womans credit cards at a Wal-Mart in Goose Creek on Dec. 4, police say.
Police described the two suspects as a black man wearing dark jeans and a dark jacket with the Coors Field Logo on the back, and a white man wearing a Chicago Bears hooded jacket.
The two men drove away in a light colored Ford extended cab truck, police say.
Anyone with information can call investigator Guy Riccio at 863-5200 ext. 2337 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

Amarillo police arrested a 17-year-old girl and a juvenile male in connection with a drive-by shooting Tuesday night.
Officers responded to the 3800 block of Northeast 16th Avenue after receiving a report of a drive-by shooting about 9 p.m., according to the Amarillo Police Department.
When police arrived in the area, they found a vehicle and a house damaged by a shotgun blast, police said. The assault was reportedly linked to previous disputes between the suspected shooters and the person whose home and vehicle were damaged in the drive-by shooting, police said.
Officers later arrested Tabitha Granados, 17, and she was taken to the Potter County Detention Center on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to police. A male juvenile was taken to the Youth Center of the High Plains, also on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The Fourth of July always marks a very special anniversary for me. It marks the day in 2006 that I ran my first race, a simple one mile race. I was never a runner prior to that summer. I only became a runner because my dad nudged me and ran that one-mile race with me. Neither of us could have guessed what that simple one mile would do for me or our combined fitness. However, the biggest surprise of it all was what running did for our relationship.
I love telling people that my dad, Randy, is 55. He doesn't look it or act like it. He celebrated his recent 55th birthday by running another half marathon. I was so proud of him. His running career wasn't always solid as life got in the way and the interests of his family became time consuming. However, when he heard I was attempting to run up and down my street without stopping at the age of 24, he suddenly took a renewed interest in the sport. I asked him about that time.
"Running was nothing new to me but I loved the fact you were thirsting for every detail there was to know about it that you could get from me. Before long I knew it was just a matter of time before you would become so good at it, I would no longer be the mentor and our roles would be reversed."
Maybe he was right, his encouragement turned me into a real runner, something I feel very lucky to share with him. I was curious if he ever thought he'd share running with one his kids. (more…)

Google Hits New Record High After Launching Streaming Music Service
U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday (May 15), with the Dow and S&P 500 hitting new all-time highs in a broad market rally as the recent upward momentum persisted.
The Nasdaq also hit its highest level since November 2000 although gains were limited by a steep decline in Apple. Shares of the tech giant sold off in late afternoon trading after filings from hedge funds showed that the one-time Wall Street darling was dropped by more famous hedge fund mangers in the first quarter.
But shares of Apple's rival Google shot up to a new record high at $916.38 (USD) on news that it has adopted a streaming music business model.
The day's gains were broad, with nine of the S&P 500's 10 sectors ending higher. Among the top gainers were the consumer staples sector index, up 1 percent, and the financial sector, also up 1 percent. The only decliner was the energy sector index, down 0.4 percent.
The overall market showed further signs of strength despite the S&P 500 rising to a record for the fourth session in a row. The broad market index has recorded 15 new closing highs this year.
An options gauge looking at the level of anxiety showed signs that investors are placing optimistic wagers on the stock market, positioning for the current run-up to extend for the next three months.
Equities have rallied in recent weeks as investors bet that central bank stimulus measures will keep supporting market gains.
Such policies have helped spur advances of about 15 percent in major U.S. indexes this year despite data showing some signs of lackluster growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 60.44 points, or 0.40 percent, to a record 15,275.69 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 8.44 points, or 0.51 percent, to finish at a record 1,658.78. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 9.01 points, or 0.26 percent, to close at 3,471.62.

UNION CITY -- More than a dozen tenants were displaced from their apartment building in Union City after residents complained of sagging floors on Sunday.
Union City police removed tenants from their three-story apartment building at 2505 Central Ave. around 3 p.m. today. A man who lived in the building said other tenants complained of sagging floors in their kitchens.
"It's dangerous in there," said one resident who declined to give his name. "Now they're (city inspectors are) coming in there and have to inspect everything."
Tenants, including families with small children, were seen boarding a Union City Police Department van with luggage and bags. Firefighters and police officers also helped carry tenants' belongings out of the gray-colored brick building.
A tenant said police were taking them to a motel for a few nights.
Multiple police vehicles were on the scene and they blocked off access to Central Avenue from 25th Street as tenants moved out of the building. The apartment building is located two blocks from Union City High School.
Police at the scene refused to comment. The Union City Police Department did not immediately respond for comment.

MARTINSBURG - Everyone at the Berkeley Medical Center - employees, visitors and even patients - will notice changes beginning Tuesday as the county's new clean air regulation banning smoking in public places like bars, fraternal clubs, motels and medical campuses becomes law.
Berkeley County Health Department board members adopted the new regulation in May, but decided to give business and organization owners, as well as the public, some time to get used to the change.
As a result, they chose July 1 as its effective date, and Berkeley Medical Center officials said Friday they are ready to more strictly enforce the facility's existing "tobacco-free campus" policy.

University Healthcare Berkeley Medical Center will be totally tobacco-free on Tuesday as officials comply with the Berkeley County Health Department's new clean air regulation banning smoking in public places like bars, fraternal clubs and medical facility campuses. Admiring the new, specially designed signs that will be installed today are facilities manager Scott Mathis, from left, facilities employee Ricky Hill and vice president of marketing and development Teresa McCabe.
In the past, some tobacco use was overlooked such as individuals smoking in their cars.
But that's no longer true and specially designed new signs - featuring bright blue and gold lettering explaining that tobacco use is prohibited due to the new county regulation - are being posted at the medical center as well as University Healthcare satellite campuses on Tennessee Avenue in Martinsburg and the Inwood Medical Building campus, said Teresa McCabe, University Healthcare vice president of marketing and development.
McCabe, who is also a voting member of the health department board, said the smoking prohibition includes sidewalks, parking lots and inside vehicles parked on the campuses. This ban also applies to e-cigarettes, she said.
"There will be no tobacco use on our Berkeley campuses. Anyone wishing to smoke or use tobacco products of any type, including e-cigarettes, must leave our campus to do so," McCabe said.
Employees who violate the new rule will be subject to the facility's progressive discipline policy. Those who want to quit can receive free group or individual cessation counseling information, she said.
They are also being asked to be part of this transition by reminding others not to smoke or use tobacco while on campus, McCabe said, adding that small cards have been printed to give to individuals asking them to abide by the tobacco-free campus rules.
Patients will be made aware of the tobacco-free policy upon admission to the hospital, she said. It will be included in the consent form signed during the registration process, McCabe said.
At admission, each patient's tobacco use will be assessed and the individual will be given information about tobacco use, secondhand smoke and quitting, she said.
"Every patient who goes to the nursing floors is again assessed and offered information about quitting. Now they will also be offered medicines to help them be comfortable without tobacco. Patients who request smoking cessation information will be given that at bedside, or via mail or follow-up phone call," McCabe said.
"Doctors will have standing orders to use for nicotine replacement or other medications so that every in-patient can be comfortable if they are not interested in quitting," she said.
Although the Jefferson County Health Department has not modified its ordinance to be as restrictive, McCabe said changes are coming to medical facilities there too.
"University Healthcare has a responsibility to take a leadership role on this major health issue as the Eastern Panhandle's regional health system. So, later this summer, our Jefferson County Medical Center will also become a tobacco-free campus," she said, adding that more information will be announced once an effective date has been chosen.

Carolyn Hax: Boyfriend's behavior is worrisome
Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend and I have been together for five years. We are in our mid-to-late 20s, and have been living together for a year. We generally have a great relationship, and we have talked about getting engaged soon.
However, I'm not sure if staying with him is the best decision for me. He was diagnosed with ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder as a child, and I feel as though this is really detrimental to our relationship. He gets annoyed and frustrated extremely easily, which often leads to a fight in which he gets very angry, and tends to hit or throw things (though I am 100 percent sure he would never touch me, he only throws and hits things like pillows).
I know these are symptoms of his ADHD and whatever adult ODD is or becomes, but I am at a loss of what to do. He has taken medication off and on in the past but doesn't like how it makes him feel. I don't want to leave him but I can't imagine a future with both him and these symptoms. What do you suggest? -- Disorder Overload
Dear Disorder: Leave. Either you aren't up to this challenge or you don't want to be, and that's all you need to know, because choosing a life partner isn't about being open-minded or fair or noble. It isn't just about loving or being in love, either. It's about an unflinching estimation of what works.
- Your "100 percent sure" requires me to say, no, you aren't. Dumb luck excepted, good decisions aren't possible unless you admit what you can and can't know.
- It's important to clarify that a serious diagnosis is not the end of hope for a committed partnership. It just means added diligence for it to work: The person with the illness needs to manage the condition effectively, and the partner needs to be temperamentally suited for and at peace with the challenge. You and your boyfriend are apparently, right now, 0 for 3.

Hey bipolardisordernaclaerio, you weren't able to take pictures? Thanks.
I added some new photos I took this evening. I want to go back with my camera and take better pics.
I sent an email to Pilgrim Church asking if I can tape some photographs.
Mr. Katz did you have any problems taking photos of this former theatre?4
I would love to see the interior of these: Williamsburgh Theatre, Commodore, Marcy, and Ridgewood. Any idea if al the interiors of a new theatre were photographed?
I am interested in the magazine that is all about the movie theater industry…I am interested in some Brooklyn, NY theaters like the Williamsburg and Commodore.
I have tried lately but why are some owners/managers against people taking pictures of interiors?
What is the elevated train line?
This building and some others have been demolished. I am sure they're going to put up apartments. I will try and get there and take some pictures. The old Williamsburgh Playhouse, now a 99 cent store, is all that remains of the many theaters that once stood along Broadway.
There is indeed a gym, Blink Fitness, occupying the theater.
How I regret not going to this theatre more. I saw The Exorcist here and Saturday Night Fever and my mother dragged me to several stage shows.
I doubt the interior is still intact. I remember going to a DMV office located in what probably was the auditorium. As I recall the lobby was located on Jamaica and the theatre on the side street. Does anyone know what the interior was like?
I saw some beautiful pictures of the theatre on www.cinematour.com The place was a beautiful Art Deco jewel. What a shame.
I saw some pictures of the interior
Why only 12 years for such a brutal killing? Is that his picture at the top of the page? I don't understand how the law works. Someone butchers a human being and they get anything short of life in prison…
I have read many comments that make mention of the year a building was constructed. I have searced ACRIS (NYC register site) but they only have info dating back to 1966.
There is a building on Graham Avenue, it was Schetcters furniture. It looks like it was a movie theatre. It's small so it was probably a very cheap place.
Those of us who care and cherish these movie theaters appreciate them for what they are. But others only see dollar signs and could care less about their past as a place to escape the dullness of everyday life.
I have checked out the Rent a Center. It certainly gives the impression of being a theater.
I went to the Polk a few times before it was closed and it was a disgrace. The bathrooms were disgusting. It's a shame this old place was demolished. The auditorium was big.
I noticed today a small theater along Myrtle Avenue. It still has the marquee but it is some kind of computer repair business.
If the theater is vacated by the dance company I am sure the building will be torn down and a new apartment complex will take its place. It's sad but given the value of the land it is no surprise. I have no inside knowlege and am merely making an assumption.
I am on the on the phone with my mother. She remembers fondly the shows at the Teatro Puerto Rico. She told me the tickets were $2.00
I have always said that if I hit the lottery I would want to buy up the old Rainbow Theatre on Graham Avenue and screen old movies, cartoons on Saturdays and some stage shows. But I wonder if the cost of liability insurance would be too high. Of course if I hit the lottery I wouldn't have to worry about the cost.
I remember the Wycoff during its final days as a theater company run by a community group but not sure of the name. I should have gone in but never did. I believe it still had the marquee up.

Whether it's losing weight or achieving a career goal, most people seek to self-improve. But many are lost at how to go about it.
Set goals? Enlist others to help? Three authors give workers techniques for making a change in themselves, and potentially their career.
Self-sabotage can be an obstacle to self-improvement, and Jacques Weisel knows it well. Weisel is a Holocaust survivor and his childhood trauma has affected his self-esteem most of his life.
But it hasn't stopped Weisel, author of books, including "Bloom Where You're Planted," from achieving in his career. Now as a coach to executives and sales people, he teaches people how to circumvent bad habits that can lead to career mishaps.
Being aware of your personal issues is important to avoiding self-sabotage, he says. When people say, "I'll try to do better," Weisel tells them, "Don't try, do." One way to avoid self-sabotage is by developing a positive attitude, he says.
Self-esteem often begins with childhood experiences from parents and teachers. If there's negativity from that experience, it's time as an adult to replace those thoughts with what you've achieved in life, Weisel says. Another way to begin self-improvement is by doing an audit of your work-life and asking others for feedback, says Pam Bilbrey, co-author with and Brian Jones, of a new book, "Ordinary Greatness."
Take a personality test. She worked with one woman, for example, who had a strong personality. But her energy and enthusiasm often was off-putting to colleagues, especially when she stormed ahead on projects and didn't include them. Bilbrey gave her a personality test so she could better understand how her tendencies at work were defeating her progress.
Find your strengths. Becoming great "is not about having one skill that's phenomenal," Bilbrey says. "It's about consistency and doing ordinary things well."
Ask for feedback from colleagues and supervisors, she says. "Sometimes it's difficult to hear when people are truthful with you. But it's an opportunity to see how others are viewing you."
Set goals and celebrate the incremental steps you achieve. Share your goals publicly so supporters will rally around you.
"We get better at those things we can measure. If you don't set goals, you can't tell that you progressed," Bilbrey says.
Don't get sidetracked worrying about what others think of you. "Others' perceptions are often nagging at us. They divert our focus and we lose track of things that are important, behaviors that are critical for us," Bilbrey says.
Workers also need to get their bosses or colleagues on board with helping them meet their goals.
"Ordinary Greatness" co-author Jones says workers need to control what they can in their careers. He recommends ways to further goals by "leading your boss."
"The more they see your work and the way you treat people, the more they're going to understand your world," Jones says.
Send your boss an e-mail or voice mail every Friday telling him or her the greatest thing that happened in your work area, and inviting the boss to stop by and thank people. "Make others a part of your success," he says.
Never throw your boss under the bus. Don't go around telling co-workers: "I wanted it to be this way, but the boss said no." You're undermining the leadership.
"You can't blame your boss if you're not happy in your life. You have to look at what you can do," Jones says.

Ducati rider Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso made a small step forward during day 2 at Sepang giving them a small ray of sunshine that something is starting work, albeit slowly, as both riders were able to break the 2.02 barrier that had characterized their previous three-day test at the Malaysian circuit.
"The good weather helped us to do a full day, and although it wasn't easy, we did a good step. We tried some things with the fork that really helped smooth out the bumps, and I had improved feeling and much better consistency. Our gap to the front is still big, but we'll keep pushing and working and trying to reduce that as much as possible. Tomorrow we'll keep going in the same direction we went today. Hopefully the track will be really good and fast in the morning so that we can get some good work done," commented Hayden, who finished 8th.
While Dovizioso said, "It was a good day because we did our best work so far, in terms of both the quantity of work and the information we obtained. We really tried a lot of things with the setup, making big changes in order to understand the situation. Some of the adjustments improved the feeling, so they enabled me to brake a bit harder. Although the times were nothing special, in my opinion they're not so bad, even with used tyres. We must continue working as we try to identify what we can do to improve some aspects, but we're making progress."
Ducati test rider Michele Pirro posted the 13th best time with his 'laboratory' Desmosedici GP13.

Kristen Stewart & Director's Fling: Brother's Account Is False, Says Source
Originally posted 07/30/2012 04:40PM
Don't believe everything you read.
Following a new report in British newspaper The People (which is owned by the Mirror and not related to PEOPLE magazine) that director Rupert Sanders's affair with Kristen Stewart was more than a one-time fling, a source very close to his wife Liberty Ross and her family tells PEOPLE all quotes from that story are false.
"Contrary to inaccurate reports, neither Liberty Ross nor any member of her family has spoken to the media," the source tells PEOPLE. "Quotes that are being attributed to the Ross family have been completely fabricated."
The People report quotes a man purporting to be Liberty's brother, Leopold Ross, who says, "[Rupert and Kristen's affair took place] from the last half of filming and all through post-production, clear into last week."
Editors at The People stand by their story. Sources have maintained to PEOPLE that the fling between the actress and director was not drawn out.

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Timeline: From PDA to Scandal
Originally posted 07/26/2012 09:00PM
After their smoldering chemistry in the Twilight films, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson confounded their fans and bewildered prying reporters by keeping their real-life relationship cloaked in secrecy for as long as possible.
So it was Stewart's gut-wrenching apology to Pattinson, punctuated by her double "I love him, I love him," that shocked in its bare expression of emotion nearly as much as her admission of a fling with Rupert Sanders, the married director of Snow White and the Huntsman.
So how did Stewart, 22, go from private love to public pain? And were there any signs along the way? Here's a timeline of the key events leading up to the cheating scandal:

Just two weeks before news broke of Kristen Stewart's fling with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, his wife spoke of early troubles in their marriage.
"I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge," actress Liberty Ross told YOU magazine.
"But moving [from London to Los Angeles] and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn't think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be."

Robert Pattinson has packed his bags.
Following Kristen Stewart's public apology for having a fling with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, the 26-year-old actor has left the Los Angeles home he shared with Stewart, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"I'm not sure they'll be able to recover from this," a source says of the couple of three years, who met making the Twilight trilogy.
In seclusion and not in contact with Stewart, 22, the British star "is heartbroken and angry," says the source.

Before a cheating scandal rocked the lives of both Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders, the pair spent months together on the sets of Snow White and the Huntsman.
While filming SWATH, Sanders, 41, seemed infatuated with Stewart, 22, but it never went any further, a source tells PEOPLE. One of the reasons could be that Sanders's wife, actress-model Liberty Ross, starred alongside Stewart in the film, playing Snow White's mother. Sanders even cast the couple's two children, Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5, as extras in the film's final scene.
But a photo unearthed from May shows Stewart and Sanders enjoying dinner with a small group, which included fellow castmember Charlize Theron, at Berlin's Monsieur Vuong Vietnamese restaurant.
Rupert Sanders: 5 Things About the Man Who Cheated with Kristen Stewart
Originally posted 07/25/2012 04:30PM
Before Rupert Sanders was the man at the heart of a cheating scandal with Kristen Stewart, he was known in Hollywood as an up and coming British director.
Says one insider, "He is a guy people have been clamoring to work with."
While Sanders's collaboration with Stewart, Snow White and the Huntsman, was his first feature film, chances are you've been watching his work for a long time.
Sanders, 41, made his name in the entertainment industry by directing elaborate big budget commercials. He's created award-winning advertisements for everything from Halo 3 to Monster.com.
Prior to the scandal, he was also known as a family man who fawned over his wife, model Liberty Ross, 33, and their two young children.
Here are five things to know about Sanders:

Kristen Stewart isn't the only one expressing her anguish over her cheating scandal with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," Sanders tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement. "My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."
The British director, 41, is married to actress-model Liberty Ross, with whom he has two young children. Stewart, 22, has been in a relationship with her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, 26, since they first met when filming nearly four years ago.

Inventor Information
Question: What is an invention?
Answer: An invention is a new, non-obvious, and useful process or method, machine, article of manufacture, composition of matter, or related improvement. Inventions are created in two steps: conception, the mental formulation of how a desired result is achieved, and reduction to practice, the demonstration that the invention achieves the desired result.
Question: How do I know if I have invented?
Answer: If you can answer "yes" to any of the following questions, please complete an Invention Disclosure Form and send it to the Office of Tech Tranfer:
Question: How can I tell if I have co-inventors?
Answer: The determination of an inventor and co-inventor is a legal issue and not a matter of professional courtesy. The inventor or inventors will have made intellectual contributions to the invention. If a colleague or student contributed to the idea which is incorporated in the invention, then he/she has helped form the invention and must be included as a co-inventor. If, on the other hand, the idea was contributed by one person and the other followed directions to make the invention, the legal inventor is the first person as the sole inventor.
Question: What portion of the royalties will I receive from my invention?
Answer: Successful commercialization of an invention is generally manifested as periodic royalties from the sales generated by use of the invention from a corporation. Disbursement of periodic royalty payments will be based upon the following: 50% - Inventor; 50% - Office of Research.
Question: Must I inform the UTPA Office of Tech Transfer of my invention?
Answer: As a condition of employment, UT System policy Series 9000 dictates that all UTPA employees (including students, postdoctoral fellows, clinicians, and faculty members) disclose inventions and discoveries if they were created under at least one of following conditions: utilizing UTPA facilities, on UTPA time, or relating to employment duties at UTPA. Also, please see UTPA Handbook of Operating Procedures Policy 4.10.2 Intellectual Property.
Question: Does UTPA own every invention I create?
Answer: The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System, through UTPA, owns rights to inventions created by employees where one of the following is true: the invention is related to UTPA employment duties, the invention was made utilizing UTPA facilities, or the invention was created on UTPA time. If you invent something unrelated to your UTPA employment on your free time and using your facilities, then UTPA will not claim ownership to that invention.
Question: What happens if I invented with NIH (or another agency's) funds?
Answer: UTPA owns the rights to inventions created under federal grants issued to UTPA. UTPA must inform the NIH (NSF, DoD, DoE) of your invention within two months of the invention's disclosure. Within one year of the invention's disclosure, UTPA must inform the agency if it elects to retain title to the invention.
Question: How can I demonstrate my inventive contribution?
Answer: To demonstrate your inventive role, follow these guidelines:
Question: How do I notify the UTPA Office of Tech Transfer of an invention I have created?
Answer: Sending a completed Intellectual Property Questionnaire to the UTPA Office of Tech Transfer is the first step in disclosing the invention. TT will then analyze the invention and connect prior art (printed matter) related to the invention. You will likely be asked at some point during the disclosure process to provide feedback on such prior art, or answer questions about your invention. Your cooperation during this first evaluation process is critical to ensure that the UTPA Office of Tech Transfer understands your invention completely
Question: How are inventions evaluated?
Answer: The questions that the UTPA Office of Tech Transfer asks about new inventions are as follows:
Question: How does UTPA protect inventions?
Answer: There are three devices to protect intellectual property: trade secret, copyright, and patent. Trade secrets are inconsistent with UTPA's mission of education and are therefore never utilized by UTPA. Copyrights are appropriate for protecting software, videos, and other works. U.S. patents are federal grants to exclude others from making, using, or selling a particular invention in the United States in exchange for fully disclosing the invention in an issued patent.
Question: As an inventor, may I acquire rights to the invention I created?
Answer: Under some circumstances, UTPA is willing to license an invention back to its inventor when the inventor agrees to reimburse UTPA for its patenting costs (if any) and pay a graduated royalty to UTPA of any resulting proceeds are expected.

LEWISTOWN - A bright yellow and blue tin advertising sign has been surfacing around the time of The Sentinel's milestone anniversaries, but is now hanging in a new, permanent home.
The sign says "Bright and newsy, The Daily Sentinel, Lewistown PA, 25 cents per month."
It first surfaced in 1968, unearthed by a local contractor, the late Paul J. Fagley, who knew right away what it was. He went straight to The Sentinel, on its 65th anniversary, to show off the treasure.

An old sign advertising The Daily Sentinel is presented to the Mifflin County Historical Society by the family of the late Paul J. Fagley, who, along with Joseph Kling, found the sign in 1968. The presentation, made in conjunction with The Sentinel's 110th anniversary, included, from left, Paul J. Fagley's widow, Ruth Fagley, his son, Paul Fagley, Sentinel publisher Ruth Eddy and Harvey Eckert, of the Mifflin County Historical Society.

An old sign advertising The Daily Sentinel is presented to the Mifflin County Historical Society by the family of the late Paul J. Fagley, who, along with Joseph Kling, found the sign in 1968.
It resurfaced in the year 2003, for The Sentinel's 100th anniversary and was the subject of a feature story that was a part of a special section printed to commemorate the occasion.
It has now made another comeback, just in time for the newspaper's 110th anniversary.
This time, the family of the late Fagley chose to donate the sign to the community by way of presenting it to the Mifflin County Historical Society.
"My mother, sister and I, as a family, are donating it in memory of Paul J. Fagley and Joseph Kling, who found it together," Fagley's son, Paul said, explaining that Kling worked for his father when the two made the discovery of the old sign.
Fagley believes the sign was from 1903 or 1904, and is typical of signs that were hung in store windows to alert passersby of the availability of copies of the newspaper for purchase.
Fagley and his mother, Ruth Fagley, gave the sign to Harvey Eckert, of the Mifflin County Historical Society, during an informal presentation that also included Sentinel Publisher Ruth Eddy, at The Sentinel office in Lewistown, on the occasion of the newspaper's 110th anniversary, which is today. Fagley's sister, Susan Sharp, of Elizabethtown, was unable to attend.
Eckert said the sign will hang in the McCoy House Museum.
The following story, published in The Sentinel in October, 1968, reveals how the sign was discovered.
The coming of the new frequently brings reminders of the past. Such was the case several days ago when workmen uncovered several long-forgotten clues to the infancy of the Daily Sentinel.
Exactly 65 years from the date of the first edition of the daily, workers stumbled onto records of transactions that took place with the establishment of the newspaper in October of 1903.
Workmen for Paul J. Fagley, general contractor, were engaged in remodeling the former Bratton Furniture Store on Valley Street when they made the discovery. When they pulled a loose board off the back of the building, they were bombarded by a shower of paper, wooden type, and a most interesting sign.
The metal sign proclaims, "Bright and newsy - the Daily Sentinel -25 cents per month."
The hundreds of pieces of paper turned out to be an assortment of receipts, freight bills and mailing receipts dated, for the most part, 1903 and 1904. It's interesting to note that Post Office receipts, signed by George F. Stackpole, Postmaster, show a fee of one cent per pound for newspapers mailed to subscribers out of the county and for sample copies. The receipt also notes the number of copies "sent free in county of publication."
Previously, workmen had torn down a building to the rear of the Bratton building which had been the main quarters of the Daily Sentinel. The demolition of that structure revealed a brick foundation on which a printing press had sat. In the foundation was a bucket of lead type.
The Daily Sentinel was born in the two Valley Street buildings when H.J. Fosnot printed the first edition Oct. 10, 1903. That first issue consisted of 1,000 copies. Mr. Fosnot continued operations at that location until October, 1910, when he moved to the present building. In 1916 the building was doubled in size as the Daily Sentinel grew in popularity.
The daily was descended from the Democrat and Sentinel, which was published weekly from 1879 until 1899, when it was published semi-weekly.
When the daily was born at the Valley Street location, it took a back seat in prominence to another venture that was carried on in the front of the building. Among the papers found by Fagley's crew are many under the letterhead of "H.J. Fosnot. Everything in Music."
If you're thinking of the change in price of the Sentinel in the past 65 years, remember that way back then papers were mailed for a penny a pound. And there's a freight receipt from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the shipment of a box of linotype from New York City - weight, 60 pounds; shipping charges, 39 cents.

Classic cars rev up cash or do they crash into nest egg?
The stock market's ups and downs could drive some people to look for a new spot to park that money. Maybe hedge one's bets with classic sheet metal?
Classic cars may be a joy to ride, but as investment vehicles, they involve unique costs (including heated garages in some cases) and risks (your muscle car could lose muscle after a financial meltdown).
Before dreaming up reasons to cruise in a new investment vehicle, consider the road hazards. For every story of someone who made $20,000 selling a 1930s hot rod, another story puts a dent into get-rich-quick dreams.
Take that 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible that accountant James Jenkins bought at auction for $27,500 in the late 1990s. He put an additional $11,000 into that car to refurbish it.
"I always loved those old '50s cars. That's what the super-rich guys are driving," said Jenkins, the president of an accounting firm.
"The car was just Rodney Dangerfield over the top," said Jenkins, who drove the convertible about 10 times or so a year. (And yes, comedian Dangerfield drove a flashy, red convertible in the 1980 movie "Caddyshack.")
But unhappy with the high cost for maintaining the car, Jenkins sold his red-and-white, two-door head turner around 2002 at auction for $29,500.
Sure, it's bad enough to sell a car at about $9,000 or so below costs. But now consider that the car could have been worth about $138,000 today, according to the Hagerty Price Guide.
Just like stock or real estate, investors of collectible cars face the risk of knowing the right time to buy and the right time to sell.
The 1960s muscle car ran strong during 2005 through around 2007, as boomers were looking for the high horsepower they couldn't afford in their 20s.
But if you needed to sell a muscle car during the recession, you were going to get 25 percent to 30 percent less than you would have a couple of years earlier, said McKeel Hagerty, president and CEO of Hagerty, which specializes in classic car insurance and values.
"It was a definite pullback," Hagerty said. But muscle cars have made a strong recovery, he said.
Yet some see collectible cars as a "hedge plus an indulgence," said Tony Richards, 69, who grew up in London but later worked for both Ford and Chrysler.
He once ran Lamborghini in Italy when Chrysler owned it and worked on the board of Maserati as the Chrysler representative.
"People like tangible investments, rather than boring paper in a bank somewhere," said Richards, who retired from Chrysler in 200.
Richards once had two classic Jaguars, a 1956 XK 140 SE Jaguar with a drophead convertible and a 1966 E-Type Jaguar convertible.
He sold both last September. The scarlet red E-Type sold for around $75,000; he paid $61,000 for it about seven years ago.
He sold the maroon 1956 XK 140 for $145,000; after paying $115,000 for it in 2003.
"I thought the market was pretty high, so I decided to cash out," Richards said.
But Richards said he thinks he might have sold the cars a little too early and probably a little too cheap.
How much money you might make buying and selling a classic car, of course, depends on the kind of car you buy and how long you keep it.
As an investor, you'd want to try to hold onto a collectible car for at least five years in many cases, Hagerty said.
Hagerty suggests that someone should aim to understand a particular make and model before buying. Maybe join a Corvette club, if you want to buy a classic Corvette.
Sure, nobody buys a '50s American convertible because he or she needs one. Still, it's best not to buy on emotion. Think about the long run.
"People are starting to see the cars more as rolling art than weekend toys," said Donnie Gould, president of Auctions America in Auburn, Ind., which has a five-day auction event around Labor Day.
Oddly enough, I recently found a 10-year-old clipping from the Wall Street Journal that listed 50 collectible cars and prices.
Hagerty researched the 2014 prices for me; all those cars would have made some money in 10 years.
A 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 - rated a "sell" in 2004 - would be up about 10 percent in value, according to Hagerty. It sells now for around $54,600 vs. about $49,500 in 2004.
The "buys" on the Wall Street Journal's list in 2004 included a 1970 Ford Boss 302 Mustang priced at about $31,300 and up. That car would have gained 172 percent and be worth $85,000 today, according to Hagerty.com.)
But remember, when you see six-figure selling prices on some cars, many investors could easily have spent six figures properly refurbishing some cars.
For most on Dream Cruise weekend, though, going down this road is far more about revved-up feelings than high finance.
"They're not going to make anymore 1966 E-Types," Richards said. "In fact, I wish I hadn't sold it."

An anniversary passed last Sunday that deserves to be noted. It was 18 years ago that Dr. Bobby Baker opened the Pacific Cancer Institute.
Today the institute is nearing completion of a $7 million expansion that will give it new space for a TrueBeam STx system that allows for delivery of precise doses of radiation to cancerous organs.
The expansion also allows for more examining rooms and doctors' offices.
Three years ago, we wrote about its 15th anniversary:
Before Dr. Baker opened the institute, patients had to fly to Honolulu to receive radiation oncology. Since its opening on Sept. 16, 1994, the institute has treated over 4,300 patients, keeping them from having to leave the island for treatment.
Almost all of us have family members or close friends who have had cancer. It is the most dreaded of diagnoses and the scariest of diseases. The comfort of undergoing treatment at home can't be overstated. As Dr. Baker told the Maui News:
"It has been overwhelming at times during the past 15 years to see how many lives have been affected by cancer. It never ceases to amaze me how grateful patients are to get to stay at home in their own bed during this critical time when being with your family has its own special healing power."
Since treatment typically takes six to eight weeks, there is not only the comfort of treatment on Maui, but also a significant cost savings by having the institute here.
So, Dr. Baker, congratulations on your anniversary. . . . You and your staff do the work of angels and you truly are heroes in our midst.

No, I'm afraid the auto-vectorizer doesn't use AVX in this first release. (But high up on our TODO list!)
In VS2010, the /arch:SSE and /arch:SSE2 switches, on x86, tell the compiler to use XXM registers for floating-point calculations, rather than x87 registers. Similarly, the /arch:AVX switch tells the compiler to emit AVX instructions, rather than SSE instructions. But in all those cases, it emits just SCALAR instructions. It is only with the advent of the auto-vectorizer that the compiler emits SIMD instructions that make full use of the wide XMM vector registers.
*AX, *BX. Yes, sorry. No excuse! (As I replied to Bruce, above, I was more careful with this example in the blog)

In honor of Friday's release of The Expendables, we're taking a week-long look at the action films of Sir Sylvester Stallone -- which is to say we're skipping his comedies. Out of respect.
Setting: Present-day 1986. Los Angeles.
Our hero: Strong, silent but surprisingly witty Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, a cop who works for the "zombie squad," the police's unofficial (or hell – maybe it's official) name for the guys who deal with the dregs of society, unlike other cops who only do desk work or get cats out of trees.
Our villain/s: The Night Slasher, played by Brian Thompson, who was perfectly cast as a crazy homicidal killer. Although he says almost nothing in the film (except for a surprisingly persuasive campaign speech to Cobra during the climax), he's apparently the leader of an equally crazy, homicidal cult. And just for good measure, there's also a bleeding-heart desk-jockey (ironically played by former Dirty Harry villain Andrew Robinson) who devotes the majority of his screen time explaining why Cobra should have used more subtle measures than machine guns, breakneck car chases and one-liner showdowns to apprehend bad guys. (What a pussy.)
The stakes: The life of Ingrid (Brigitte Nielsen), a supermodel who's about two clicks of the shutter away from the fashion world's version of a casting couch. Oh, and I suppose the lives of all free, upstanding Los Angelenos who fear oppression from the Night Slasher's reign of terror.
How long until our first confrontation? About two minutes. The opening credits reveals that Cobra is a master statistician, reading off the duration between violent crimes and assaults upon decent, hardworking citizens, and he's summarily proven right when a crazy dude with a shotgun opens fire on every Pepsi sign within sight at a local grocery store.
Line of dialogue that nails it: "I don't deal with psychos. I put them away." Also, "this is where the law stops. And I start. Sucka!"
Coolest display of might: When he hoists up one of his adversaries on a hook at the local smoke and fire factory and sends him off to be char-broiled.
Is that...? Yes, that's Sledge Hammer (a/k/a David Rasche) as the sleazy photographer who offers to sleep with Ingrid – "if not for her, for her career."
Oddest lack of consistency:Reni Santoni (Dirty Harry alums are all over the place) asks a fashion model if she's been around drugs or anyone involved with drugs, and she says no.
Moral of the story: Judges, negotiators, and more reasonable cops are weak, spineless, powerless pussies. The only justice that can be meted is street justice, and that's the kind that Cobra provides.
Stallone Action Scale: 8 out of 10, given that there's no sex scene (how is that possible?). But his 1950 Mercury crashing into a drydocked boat as a car chase comes to an end is responsible six of those points.
Vaguely Inappropriate Patriotism Scale: 4 out of 10, until "Voice of America's Sons (Theme from Cobra)" by John Cafferty and the Brown Beaver Band plays over the end credits. Then it's 24 out of 10.

Guest Voice of Kevin Smith: Northwest Pa. manufacturers pull together
Look back at the last century and it's hard to ignore the role manufacturing has played in northwestern Pennsylvania, from providing jobs and growing the local economy to creating innovative, in-demand products used around the world.
Look at today's headlines and the outlook for the coming century isn't quite as rosy.
But there is a manufacturing success story in northwestern Pennsylvania. The Advanced Diversified Manufacturing Industry Partnership, a group of manufacturing leaders from Erie, Crawford, Forest, Clarion, Warren and Venango counties, has pulled together to meet adversity head-on and to ensure advances for their employees and their industries.
Each manufacturer makes a unique product, but together they have found common challenges and common goals.
Members of the ADMIP have been working for the last five years to address workforce development, pipeline enhancement and advocacy issues with the goal of recruiting and retaining highly qualified workers from right here in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Perhaps its greatest accomplishment to date has been its partnership with the Precision Manufacturing Institute in the development of a comprehensive, three-year industrial maintenance apprenticeship program. This nationally recognized program is crucial in filling a void in the skilled workforce, creating current job advancement and providing workers the opportunity to earn a family-sustaining wage well into the future.
"We are constantly upgrading employees' skills and through the ADMIP we are able to group with others to gain subsidized training and defray some of that cost," said Brian Deane, of NuTec Tooling Systems in Meadville.
The cost of the program is split among participating employers, with the ADMIP subsidizing 75 percent of those costs for active members. This represents a savings of thousands of dollars.
After approximately 600 hours of coursework and on-the-job training delivered over the last two years, the first group of industrial maintenance apprentices will graduate in June. Because employers helped write a customized on-the-job training plan for each student, these graduates will immediately put their learning into practical application.
It is important to note that while other industry partnerships have struggled due to a freeze on state funding, the ADMIP continues to provide ongoing training thanks to its strong fiscal management and a sustainability fund created at the partnership's inception.
Already members have learned so much from each other and have begun to address the crucial need for pipeline development, said Joy Sherry, of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition in Meadville, who serves as chairwoman of the ADMIP steering committee.
"I'm not sure that everybody understands, but it is very difficult right now to get young people involved in manufacturing," Sherry said.
Newly created pipeline programs in Erie and Crawford counties help expose high school students to technical careers like engineering or machining.
"The manufacturing partnership gives me another tool to recruit and retain highly technical employees," Deane said. "It's already paid dividends to my company because we have hired students that have come through these programs and gained interest into this type of career."
Stay tuned, because the ADMIP is looking even further into the future. The steering committee is currently implementing a strategic plan that will address employer challenges in employee career development, market expansion, pipeline development and information sharing over the next two years, ensuring that northwestern Pennsylvania continues to be synonymous with manufacturing success stories.
KEVIN SMITH of Vie Associates serves as the project manager for the Advanced Diversified Manufacturing Industry Partnership, which pulls together dozens of manufacturers of food, electrical, plastics and tool-and-die products in Erie, Crawford, Forest, Clarion, Warren and Venango counties. The ADMIP steering committee meets monthly at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. To join the round-table discussion, take advantage of subsidized training or learn more about the partnership, contact him at email@example.com.

Why did you get fat and ugly??!! EDIT 1! **EDIT 2! Let me c pics of all the B*TCHES that roll out of bed looking like super models <3
EDIT....(I am on my phone so I cannot put it in red)
I LOVE everyone's responses!! I have been a member of this group for a long time, so I know what complete bitches some can be. You didn't let me down!!
Its not just about looking good for your husband. I look good for my daughter too. Im not going to have my daughter embaressed of me. She deserves a mother she can be proud of and look up to, and one she actually wants to spend time with around her friends. I am teaching my daughter to take care of, and value, herself.
If you have never worn make up, Im obviously not talking to you. If you have always been big, Im obviously not talking to you. If you have never cared about your looks I feel sorry for you, but Im obviously not talking to you. Im talking to the women who looked one way when they got married, and very quickly fell apart in the looks department. Im genuinely wondering what happened!! One lady said she had been beaten her whole marriage. Thats obviously a damn good reason to gain weight.
Put your big girl thong on and deal with the truth.
Edit 2 ***************************************************************
I LOVE all the responses and honesty!! Now I want pictures! are you bravr enouvh to put a picture up of yourself once you've already said how "naturally beautiful" u are without makeup??? I will rate you, and as you can tell by my post Im brutally honest. Lets see some of you back up your claims that you roll out of bed looking like a super model!!!
Ill be the judge!
Quoting grey7399:
Take the dog collar off and be a real woman.
I didn't get fat. I still do my hair and makeup, but not everyday. Btw, your four years and one kid is nothing. Lol. We've been married 8 years and have three kids.
You forgot raccoon eyes ;-)
Quoting PEEK05:
I'm trying to fit the SAHM stereotype with unbrushed hair and teeth, no deodorant, a shower once every two weeks, with a filthy house, and eat generic ding dongs all day long. I thought that's how it was supposed to be, duhhhhh.
whatever flavor you want, baby
Quoting crescentstar2:
Hmmmm what flavor you got under there?Quoting harpsichord:
maybe im hiding it somewhere *lifts skirt*
lol :PQuoting crescentstar2:
I thought its what the cool kids where doing, now I'm sad. Where's my ice cream?
