- Abstract
- This paper studies the impact of the surface waves on the turbulent mixing. The satellite observations of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) at ocean surface as an indicator of turbulent quantities of the flow are used. In a water column, SPM builds a vertical profile depending on settling velocities of the particles and on vertical mixing processes, thus SPM is a perfect marker to study the turbulent quantities of the flow. Satellite observations in the North Sea show that surface SPM concentrations, in locations of its deposition, grow rapidly and build plume-shaped, long (many km) uninterrupted and consistent structures during a storm. Also, satellites reveal that SPM rapidly sinks to the seabed after the storm peak has passed and wave height decreases, i.e. with absence of strong turbulence. The non-breaking wave-induced turbulence has been discussed, parameterized and implemented into an equation of evolution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the frame of mean-flow concept, which can be used in existing circulation models. The ratio between dissipated and total wave energy is used to describe the influence of wave dumping on the mean flow. Our numerical tests reproduce experiments in a wave tank very well and are supported by observations of SPM in the North Sea. Our results show that the motion of an individual non-breaking wave includes turbulent fluctuations if the critical Reynolds number for wave motion is exceeded, independent from presence of currents due to wind or tides. These fluctuations can produce high diffusivity and strongly influences mixing in the upper water layer of the ocean.

Made these as something nice to share over christmas but must have made them too small. Got 40 or so out of the mix and baked for 13 minutes. They turned out to hard with burnt ends. Decorated with melted milk chocolate and my daughter loved them! Will make them larger next time & divide the dough in 3 then in 10s. Does need extra sugar i think... a few tablespoons of brown sugar.
Lovely! I've just made these and they turned out great. I adore lebkuchen and I'm always really upset when they take it off the shelves come January as it seems to be considered a 'festive treat', so i'm delighted that I can make my own all year round!
I made a few changes due to what was available to me though
- no almonds or zest
- only 50g of icing sugar so used 20g of cocoa powder too.
A few comments suggest melted chocolate, so i guess chocolate icing is just an alternative.
Very nice and easy recipe, will definitely use again!
Hi everybody,me and little daughter just made these, they are so simple and little one did every thing her self so she feels grown up.
It's good to learn the children the smell of the spices and the names of said spices,this hopefully will stay with them for ever.
Just got out of oven they look great,I like the idea if dipping half in chocolate so we will see how that turns out.
I made the first attempt last week. I overcooked it. 15 minutes are enough. Then I repeated it twice with double amount of ingredients. It is really delicious as the german Lebkuchen we used to buy. Even better, I would say. The recipes I have always ask for mix of Lebkuchen spices (I´m in Brazil, so no way to find this here!). This one gives you the possibility to make it at home! I would give rate 10 just for that! :-)
I love this recipe and recommend it to everyone. These Lebkuchen go down a storm at Christmas.
There's a big difference depending on how long you cook them for. They often look pale and uncooked when actually they are. They are quite spongey when you take them out of the oven, as you leave them to cool then they firm up, so take care not to over cook them.
I take them out when they start to brown just slightly on the top. It makes quite a difference with the overall softness when they are cool.

Mannie Lee
Hello, I was wondering if you are ever back in this cemetery again would you please look for a "Mannie" Lee or he may have his orignal name Worley Thadeus Lee. born 5-29-1908 death 11-1-1985. His son told me he and his wife Helen was in this cemetery but they are not listed. Would appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks in advance Linda

Floyd, Harry Nathan
I saw a post on Find A Grave that you contributed to. I am very interested in the family of Floyds. Thank you for sharing the information. It is always nice to work with others and confirm my own research. Are you working on the Floyd family, also? Or do you know anyone that is working on the Floyds?
I was born as Marvin Blaine Floyd. My father at birth was William Nathan Floyd. His parents were Harry Nathan Floyd and Margaret or Marguerite Cummins. William left my mother shortly before I was born. I never met him or anyone in his family except a half-brother that lives in this area. My mother remarried Howard L. Byard, and my older sister and I were adopted and our names legally changed to Byard. our I would love to meet and work with some Floyds that are interested in this family.
My ancestors prior to Harry Nathan Floyd becomes sketchy, and it appears that Harry Nathan Floyd may have been born out of wedlock to Boyd Michel (Mitchel?) and Mary Martha Floyd (aka M M Floyd, Martha Floyd, Mattie Floyd?). Mattie could have been a nickname for any of those? If I could verify this, and know her real name, I would feel like it is a more solid connection. Because the parents or Mattie Floyd were Nathan Marshal Floyd and Martha Fittro Floyd.
Harry Nathan Floyd's death certificate have both of his parents "unknown."
Yes, It would be nice to meet more cousins on that side of my family tree. Then I could feel some kind of connection.
Thank you for any help you may provide.

RE: Rebecca Percy Carter
I haven't but hope to get there later this year. Before the last person in our piece of the Jordan Carter family died, I was told the cemetery where Jordan was buried was abandoned but she didn't know the name of it. It wasn't until I retired in 2013 that I started doing research and found the name and approximate location. Her husband, Josiah aka Joseph Carter is also buried there. He appears to be the end of the line. I can't trace any further back and others have tried to help. Thanks for the correction.

Samuel Seymour
Hello Michelle,
Please ignore my request below for Samuel Seymour Memorial 7590853, which is maintained by Find A Grave as a Famous Memorial. However! Samuel is not at Loudon Park Cemetery, he is at rest at Loudon Park NATIONAL Cemetery, Plot: Lot 441 Sect: Bethel
There was a memorial created for him there, in 2001 and that memorial number is 5541616. I will try to contact Find A Grave about their error in cemetery location! Being that Samuel is a famous person, I would think that Find A Grave would have him recorded at the Correct cemetery?!

Samuel Seymour Memorial 7590853
Hello Michelle,
I see there is no photo of Samuel's stone, only a photo of the cemetery name/gates. There is no edit option to request a photo, so I chose to contact you. Are you able to check on this and if possible, post a photo for Samuel Seymour and his wife ? If you are able to post a photo for Samuel I would like it to appear below his personal photo, which I have added but I see it is waiting approval? Thank you in advance!

RE: Johann (John) George Bloss
I just viewed the picture of the old headstone (that one that was destroyed by a car), not the new headstone that was erected to replace it. The old one says 1815 & the new one says 1816. The ground marker says 1815 too. Odd & sad that the new one was transcribed incorrectly. Thanks, will change date.

- Title
- Analysis, limitations and improvements of voice over IP in IEEE 802.11 WLAN
- Author(s)
- Stoeckigt, Kewin Oliver
- Abstract
- Wireless voice over IP (VoIP) is an important emerging service in telecommunications due to its potential for replacing todays' cell phone communication wherever wireless local area networks (WLANs) are deployed. However, the number of VoIP calls that can be supported in the widely deployed IEEE 802.11 WLAN is limited and therefore may hinder the success of wireless VoIP as a viable alternative. In this thesis we investigate the limited VoIP capacity and provide new insight and solutions to improve the number of simultaneous VoIP calls that can be maintained with an acceptable level of voice call quality. To improve the VoIP capacity we first discuss a solution based on a quality of service (QoS) mechanism of the IEEE 802.11 protocol. In particular we utilize a transmission opportunity (TXOP) parameter of the medium access control (MAC) as a simple solution to increase the number of VoIP calls. We develop a detailed analytical model to show that a significant increase (≈ 100%) in call capacity can be achieved. We also discuss the implications of this solution and provide ideal parameter settings to maximize the number of concurrent calls without affecting the overall system performance. Using our analytical model, we study the impact of the buffer size on VoIP capacity. We show that there exists an optimal buffer size that maximizes the number of VoIP calls, and we show that further increasing the buffer beyond this ideal value will not result in an increase in call capacity. In particular, we show that VoIP capacity is independent of the buffer size, given the minimum optimal buffer, and that this finding also holds in conjunction with the previous solution to increase the VoIP capacity. Based on this finding, we develop a closed-form expression for the maximum number of VoIP calls as a function of the TXOP parameter. Using the closed-form expression we then propose a novel VoIP capacity approximation equation. This simple yet accurate approximation formula allows us to provide some further insight into VoIP capacity in WLAN and its limits. We then propose a novel dynamic codec with priority (DCwP) scheme that exploits a tradeoff between call quality and traffic priority to increase call capacity while providing a high level of voice call quality. In this scheme, users are encouraged to switch to a lower quality voice codec during periods of high contention, thus enabling them to maintain the call. To compensate for the reduction in call quality, and to give an incentive to the user to adjust the voice codec, a higher priority is given at the AP for voice calls originating from these users, thus providing a high throughput and a higher than average call quality. To show the benefits of this scheme, we develop a detailed analytical model, and show that depending on the voice codec setting that a VoIP capacity gain of between 16% and almost 300% can be achieved with an above average call quality as indicated by results obtained using the ITU E-model. Our analytical model also allows us to provide further insight into a multi-queue, multi-traffic environment, in particular the impact of internal collisions. Finally, we investigate the impact of TCP traffic on VoIP capacity in an IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Using ns-2 simulation we study the impact of TCP traffic on the call capacity when the channel access is controlled using the distributed coordination function (DCF) or enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) is used. We confirm that the TCP flow direction is an important parameters to consider, irrespective of the channel access function. We then show that the solution based on the TXOP parameter can provide benefits to VoIP and TCP traffic. In particular, we show that using the TXOP parameter yields a high call capacity while maximizing the TCP throughput. However, we also show that even though the TXOP solutions increase the number of calls and the TCP throughput, our proposed DCwP scheme can provide superior results in terms of VoIP capacity and TCP throughput for different scenarios.

- Abstract
- CROWN Grid aims to empower in-depth integration of resources and cooperation of researchers nationwide and worldwide. In such a distributed environment, to facilitate adoption of services, remote and hot service deployment is highly desirable. Furthermore, when the deployer and the target container are from different domains, great security challenges arise when a service is deployed to the remote container. In this paper, we present ROST, an original scheme of Remote & hOt Service deployment with Trustworthiness. By dynamically updating runtime environment configurations, ROST avoids restarting the runtime system during deployment. Moreover, we adopt trust negotiation in ROST to assure the security of service deployment. We conduct experiments in a real grid environment, and evaluate ROST comprehensively.

So when Mississippi emerged with the No. 1 recruit in the country, the top-ranked offensive tackle and the highest-rated wide receiver on Wednesday, there was a Rebel yell in Oxford.
Coach Hugh Freeze reeled in a star-studded class to Ole Miss, led by linebacker Robert Nkemdiche, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsell, wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and No. 3-ranked safety Antonio Conner. By most accounts, it not only was the school's best group of recruits in history, it was among the nation's consensus top 10 and as high as the top five in several rankings.
"It's unbelievable," Freeze said. "The guys in this room (current players) have done such a phenomenal job in building relationships with these guys."
It was no surprise, though, that reigning BCS national champion Alabama emerged with the No. 1 class in most rankings. The SEC has dominated recruiting in recent years and 2013 was no exception.
Joining the Crimson Tide and the Rebels in the top 10 were Florida (as high as No. 2), LSU and Texas A&M. Auburn also had a good day, particularly in adding five- and four-star players on defense, as did Georgia.
Outside the SEC, Ohio State and Michigan made the most noise as coaches Urban Meyer and Brady Hoke work to raise the bar in Columbus and Ann Arbor. Scout.com put the Buckeyes' 25 signees at No. 1 and arch-rival Michigan at No. 2. The only other Big Ten school to crack the top 20 was Nebraska.
"Great day. I thought it would be a good day, but now I'll put it in the great category," Meyer said.
Notre Dame, last season's BCS runner-up, also finished in the top five on all the major lists with a 23-player class that included the No. 2-ranked player, linebacker Jaylon Smith. Florida State and Clemson led the ACC with top-15 rankings.
UCLA, possibly benefiting from several late de-commitments to USC and the head coaching change at Oregon, climbed to third on the Scout.com list and finished ahead of the Trojans across the board.
--Ohio State's ascension in recruiting is no surprise considering Meyer's track record of success, particularly at Florida, where he won two national championships.
Meyer was expecting a strong class this year, but he received a bonus Monday when running back-wide receiver Dontre Wilson flipped from Oregon to Ohio State. Then two more surprises came Wednesday when wide receiver James Clark of Florida spurned the Gators for the Buckeyes and safety Vonn Bell of Georgia picked Ohio State over Tennessee and other SEC schools.
"I thought if we hit one out of three, it would be all right," Meyer said. "Two out of three would be a good day. Three out of three was going to knock it out of the park. So we hit three out of three. We're very pleased."
Later Wednesday, the Buckeyes wrapped up their class with a letter of intent from running back Ezekiel Elliott of Missouri.
--Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher made inroads on defense by signing two five-star players who appeared headed to other schools.
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey of Tennessee, ranked No. 3 in the country at his position and No. 10 overall, changed his mind about going to USC and committed to the Seminoles. Matthew Thomas, ranked second among the nation's linebackers and 15th overall, chose Florida State over hometown Miami.
That helped the Seminoles reach the top 10 in the ESPN and 247Sports rankings.
But Florida State did lose out on offensive linemen Austin Golson, who chose Mississippi, and Devon Kirkland, who decided on Arkansas.
--Like father, like son. Notre Dame is hoping that rings true with two of the 23 recruits that signed with the Fighting Irish.
Torii Hunter Jr. is the son of Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter. The younger Hunter is a wide receiver from Prosper, Texas.
And then there's wide receiver Corey Robinson of San Antonio, the son of basketball Hall of Famer David Robinson.
They'll join current Irish players Austin Collinsworth, the son of former NFL receiver Cris Collinsworth, and Josh and Geroge Atkinson III, sons of former NFL defensive back George Atkinson, next season.
Another son of a famous father signed Wednesday with Miami. Ray Lewis III, whose dad is retiring Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, confirmed his commitment to the University of Miami, where Lewis played.
--Alabama coach Nick Saban kept the Tide rolling with a recruiting haul ranked No. 1 by most websites.
Saban reeled in five-star linebacker Reuben Foster, a former Auburn commitment; four-star defensive lineman Dee Liner, another previous Auburn recruit; four-star running back Alvin Kamara and five-star lineman A'Shawn Robinson.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

All of Taka, possibly besides Sasuke and Karin. Jugo is a beast, and Suigetsu is almost unhittable if I'm not mistaken.

August 30, 2012 —
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett completed a two-day kayak tour on the Delaware River through Wayne, Pike and Monroe counties last week. Among his entourage were PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Richard Allen and Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Michael Krancer.
Also joining the governor were numerous citizen protestors who made their concerns about natural gas development known. Some arrived before 8 a.m. to greet Corbett as he launched near the Narrowsburg, NY bridge. Others assembled at various sites along the riverbank, holding signs and chanting slogans like, "God gave us this river for drinking and pleasure. Don't destroy our national treasure." Still others paddled along with the governor and his crew, signs affixed to their watercraft demanding that the Delaware River be protected from hydrofracking.
Many of the protestors charged that the governor and his administration support the interests of the gas industry and leaseholders, while neglecting the interests of citizens who want their water, air, home values and quality of life protected from the impacts of natural gas extraction.
Corbett defended his environmental record. "If you take a look at many of the areas where shale gas is being developed now, the vast majority of people are seeing the benefit. I think we have done a very good job of coming up with the strictest standards, protecting the environment while getting to a natural resource that makes us the energy leader of the country, if not the world."
Corbett also visited the Zane Grey Museum in Lackawaxen and the Masker Museum in Promised Land State Park, where he heard about the economics of the timber and tourism industries.
Corbett said that the tours are invaluable opportunities to connect with a region.
"What I was hearing was an educational process for me. I have a much better understanding of the needs of the area, so that decisions can be made in trying to reach a balance between the different interests. Clearly those interests were made vocal today in many ways, that people see things differently and we have to reach some common ground."
Corbett urged everyone to get on the river and to make use of the state's 120 parks. "Pennsylvania is blessed with unmatched natural beauty and resources," Corbett said. "Not only is it vital that we take care of these resources for the growth of our commonwealth, but equally as vital is the need to preserve these resources for future generations. I want my grandchildren to enjoy the same breath-taking Pennsylvania that I had the privilege to kayak today."

Meet Your Local Kidney Expert
Register for a no-cost, 90-minute training session taught by a certified instructor.
When you do home hemodialysis (HHD), you're never alone. You have an entire medical team focused on your care. These healthcare professionals will educate you, train you, make changes to your dialysis treatment when necessary, monitor your health to make sure you are achieving your best possible results and support you every step of the way. Although there is much overlap in the interactions each of these professionals will have with you, they each have their areas of specific focus. Your HHD team will be made up of:
Your nephrologist is the physician specializing in your kidney care. He or she is the one who will decide, with you, when you should begin dialysis. Your nephrologist will also prescribe your dialysis treatment and monitor your ongoing care. You will have in-center visits once a month in which your nephrologist may be present. If you do not see your nephrologist at the DaVita® center, your nephrologist will most likely schedule a separate visit for you once a month in his or her office to assess your medical condition and determine if any changes need to be made to your current dialysis prescription. If your doctor would like to see you more than once a month, he or she will be able to schedule additional visits with you.
Your nephrology nurse is the nurse specializing in your kidney care. When you decide to do HHD, you will be assigned a nurse who will help educate you about your health condition, meet with you during your in-center check ups and communicate information about your health to your nephrologist. He or she will also teach you how to do the home treatment that you and your doctor have selected. HHD training takes four to six weeks. During this time, you will get to know your nurse well and will have plenty of opportunities to ask him or her any questions you may have.
Your nephrology or home-training nurse is the point of first contact for most questions or problems that may arise related to your dialysis. In most communities, a nurse will be available to you by phone 24 hours a day.
When you decide to do home dialysis, you will be assigned a home-training nurse. He or she will teach you how to do the home treatment that you and your doctor have selected. HHD training takes four to six weeks. During this time, you will get to know your home-training nurse well and will have plenty of opportunities to ask any questions you may have.
Your dietitian will serve as a dietary consultant to you and your family. He or she will review your lab reports and provide support, education and diet tips tailored to your specific needs. Your diet plays a big role in living a healthy life with end stage renal disease (ESRD). For this reason, your dietitian is an important member of your healthcare team.
Your social worker will help you and your family with the emotional side of adjusting to your health condition. He or she will perform a professional assessment of your social/medical condition and will provide emotional support and resources to you and your family. Your social worker will also be able to put you in touch with some support groups to help you in your transition.
Your insurance specialist can help answer any of your insurance concerns. The insurance specialist may even be able to locate programs or other resources that can help you afford your treatment and medications. Call 1-855-5-Dialysis for assistance or fill out the form.
HHD patients have a care partner who will go through the training with you and be able to assist you during your treatments. Your care partner can be your spouse, a family member, a friend or a hired care giver. This important person will be an active contributor to your care everyday and will provide physical as well as emotional support.
Your support system is made up of your family, friends, coworkers and anyone else that plays a supportive role in your life. These people will be the ones cheering you up, keeping you active, assisting you with anything you need and helping you maintain your quality of life. They will be there when you need to talk about your health condition or when you need help forgetting about it. The best way to assemble a support system is to confide in people you trust about your health condition and ask for their support.
Your HHD care team is made up of many individuals who are devoted to your care and support. These professionals will help make sure you never feel alone and equip you with what you need to achieve the best clinical results and live as active a lifestyle as possible on home dialysis.

This is my final blog entry of this year and with regret this is the last of me. It has been a fantastic one and a half years blogging for Benetton UK, I sincerely hope you've enjoyed reading my fun adventures and stories particularly my odd (new) fondness for food and floral posts. I must stress that 2012 has been a stressful year, due to because my sister got married in the summer and my role as maid of honour wasn't a pleasing one and that was 'stress', six months of hardship (being a slave) led to spending less time with blogging, thankfully I managed just fine. It is time to move on and pursue other interest, unless Benetton UK want me I'd be glad to accept. Happy New Year to you all!

(WCYB) Louise Howard may be 86 years old, but she isn't afraid to defend her home or her life.
On Friday afternoon she was forced to do that. Howard said a young woman broke the glass on her door and forced her way inside her Bulls Gap, Tennessee home.
"I was in shock. I didn't know what she was going to do to me!" Howard said.
Howard immediately grabbed her gun, but the two started to struggle down the hall.
"I already had my gun in my hand, and I wouldn't turn it loose for anything," she explained.
Howard's hands are proof she wasn't letting go.
"She stuck a fingernail in there," said Howard. "She moved her hands sort of released me a bit. I moved over like that, and I was going to shoot her in the stomach, but she took her knee and hit my elbow."
The bullet ended up inside the wall where it still hides.

Samsung Accused of Destroying Evidence, EU Bans Galaxy Tab 7.7
Jason Mick
July 26, 2012 3:17 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple demands $2.5B USD from Samsung -- plus complete sales ban on most of its smartphones/tablets
Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) is in the middle of a tough week in the courts.
I. Samsung Accused of Destroying Evidence
The South Korean gadgetmaker recently celebrated outselling arch-rival Apple, Inc. (
) nearly
two-to-one in smartphone sales
in the recent quarter. Those strong sales are driven by the
Galaxy S III
, a smartphone whose hardware beats Apple's flagship
iPhone 4S
in nearly every category.
Apple is struggling to keep up in sales despite continuing to haul in record profits as the
world's most profitable tech company
. Apple attorney Josh Krevitt sums up his company's plight, remarking, "Samsung is always one step ahead, launching another product and another product."
But Apple has been relatively effective at looking to stifle its competitor in court.
In recent weeks it scored sales bans on the
Samsung Nexus smartphone
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet
, although
it failed
to secure its most hoped for ban -- a
kill shot on the Galaxy S III
Now it's
another small victory in its U.S. court battle, with
Judge Paul Grewal
of the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
(San Jose/San Francisco) granting an Apple request to give an "adverse jury instruction." The judge told the jury that Samsung destroyed evidence that might have been pertinent to the case.

Samsung's global electronics empire maintains a purpose-built central email network. That network automatically deletes emails after two weeks. That's run Samsung into trouble in past lawsuits, including a 2004 one where it received a similar sanction for the practice.
In the current case, the
U.S. International Trade Commission
had ruled that Samsung behaved responsibly. While it acknowledged the automatic email deletion, it noted that the company had informed employees that they should be saving any documents pertinent to the case.
But Judge Grewal saw things quite differently. He argued that Samsung did not do enough to monitor that its order was being enforced. He remarks, "In effect, Samsung kept the shredder on long after it should have known about this litigation."
Samsung plans to appeal, but if it loses, the order could be a blow to its image when the trial
goes before the jury
II. Apple Wants $2.5B USD
Apple is suing Samsung on the grounds of a slew of patents and trademarks. The trademarks encompass largely deal with the look of certain icons -- such as a white email envelop on a blue background. The patents cover a host of software features such as
slide to unlock
, as well as the "look" of the iPad and iPhone.
A UK court recently found that most of these patents were
invalid due to prior art
. It forced Apple to
print a public apology
to Samsung acknowledging that Samsung
did not "steal" the look
of the iPad with its Galaxy Tab. In recent interviews
Judge Richard A. Posner
, one of the most experienced intellectual property experts in the U.S., expressed similar sentiments remarking that the majority of software patents -- including Apple's --
should likely be ruled invalid
Apple wants an exorbitant $2.525B USD from Samsung ($2B USD of which represents profits from devices). It also wants Samsung to be banned from selling the majority of its Android smartphones and tablets in the U.S. These provisions would surely provide a nice padding to Apple's already industry-leading profits, and help it overcome its product design difficulties.
Apple wants Samsung's devices banned and Samsung forced to pay billions in damages.
[Image Source: SomanyMP3s]
Samsung sought a 2.4 percent royalty from Apple on its 3G patents in the U.S., a proposal that is also slightly outlandish, given that it's grossly above the industry standard for licensing
fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) patents
III. Galaxy Tab 7.7 Banned Throughout the EU
More bad news came for Samsung this week when a decision by the Dusseldorf Higher Regional Court was expanded into a
complete ban on sales
of the Galaxy Tab 7.7
throughout the EU
. The ban comes courtesy of
Community Design 000181607
, which depicts a rectangular tablet:
It was found that the Galaxy Tab 7.7:
...looked too much like the iPad, despite being a different size, having different back decals, and different ports.
Again, this would seemingly indicate Apple has a government-enforced monopoly on tablets in the European Union, but this is clearly not the case, as
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1N
was deemed valid for sale thanks to the addition of extra metallic accents.
About the only conclusion one can thus draw from these divergent rulings is that bans are rather arbitrary and based on the sentiments of whatever court they happen to wind up in for the ruling.
The ban is tentative, pending appeal, and likely does not apply to the UK, which already found Apple's design claims invalid.

The ads are everywhere, on TV and radio and in the newspaper and your e-mail box: "Live Without Glasses or Contacts!" "Vision Restoration!"
All the noise is over LASIK surgery, but does it really work? The short answer, for the vast majority of clients, is yes.
Jennifer Haynes-Watkins, a Web journalist in Belmont, N.C., had LASIK five years ago.
"As cliché as it sounds, LASIK really did change my life. I'll never forget my first trip to the beach after my surgery. I woke up in the middle of the night in the hotel and could actually see to get to the bathroom and didn't have to pat down the entire nightstand to find my glasses. It was like a whole new world," she says.
Haynes-Watkins recounts her first trip to the beach after the surgery.
"Who knew you could actually just open your eyes and walk over? Then, to be able to go swimming without feeling like the children in the pool were planning an evil plot to splash you and ruin your contacts was great, too. I could go from lounge chair to pool and back without thinking twice about my vision."
LASIK, or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is the surgical modification of the eye in order to restore proper function. Nearly 1.4 million procedures were done in the U.S. in 2006.
In the past, only certain types of patients were good candidates for the surgery. New technology makes it possible for almost every person -- nearsighted or farsighted, with or without astigmatism -- to have LASIK, according to Dr. Jonathan Christenbury, of Christenbury Eye Center in Charlotte, N.C.
How Surgery Works
The nuts and bolts of the surgery are simple.
It is essentially a two-step process, according to the Eye Surgery Education Council. In the first step, a flap is cut in the surface of the cornea, the "front window" of the eye that focuses light coming into the eye. A suction ring is placed on the eye to hold it stable and check the internal pressure while the flap is cut.
The cut goes through about 20 percent of the total thickness. This flap is then folded aside, and lasers are used to reshape the tissue of the internal cornea, or stroma, with a very high degree of precision. The corneal flap is then laid back into place. There are no stitches required, and the healing process is generally very quick, with most patients being able to return to work within a day or two and noticeable vision improvement immediately.
Vision improvement comes from changes in the cornea's ability to focus light into the eye. Think of a magnifying glass -- if the glass is distorted, the image seen through it will not be sharp. If the glass is repaired to proper shape, the image coming through will be seen properly.
Blades Not Always Used
In the most widely used LASIK procedure, the corneal flap is cut by a blade mechanism called a microkeratome. The cutting was the primary source of complications, such as infection and improper flap shape, although the incidence of such problems was less than one in 5,000 patients.
A new procedure, IntraLASIK, in use at the Christenbury Eye Center and several other clinics nationwide, replaces the microkeratome with a laser that pulses 15,000 times per second to create a flap that is accurate to the desired measurement within 10 microns.
"The majority of sight-threatening complications possible with traditional LASIK are totally avoided, and those non-sight-threatening side effects that are self-limited are markedly reduced," Christenbury says. He adds that it is probably 100 times safer than using a blade.
Speedy Recovery
The recovery from the procedure is remarkably quick, but there are some very important restrictions to keep in mind. Chief among these is avoiding disturbance of the eye for a week to 10 days following the procedure.
Plastic shields are worn over the eyes at night, and care must be taken during waking hours to avoid rubbing or compressing the eye. It's also important to follow whatever eye drops or other regimen the surgeon sets, as the combination of antiseptic, lubricating and steroid drops will ensure proper healing and the best end results.
Finding The Right Surgeon
Your eyes are some of your most important and delicate assets, so finding the right surgeon and clinic to perform your LASIK procedure shouldn't be taken lightly. One of the primary things to look for is experience. How long has the clinic been in business? How satisfied are the patients?
The Internet can be an excellent resource here, with sites such as Epinions.com hosting discussion forums and opinion boards where you can get commentary straight from patients.
During your initial consultation, pay attention to how business is conducted at the clinic. Is the staff receptive to your questions? Do they seem knowledgeable about the procedure and potential complications? Are the pre-surgery disclosure and informed consent forms detailed and easy to understand? According to the FDA, while there is a very low risk of serious complications from the procedure, there are things that can go wrong, and they should be fully explained.
Something else to consider is what other services the clinic offers. Do the doctors also perform PRK, a less-common procedure used in some cases in which corneal thickness is not sufficient for LASIK, or other services? If a clinic offers only LASIK, there may be more of a push to treat patients who may not be ideal candidates.

Bill Johnson
Dear Editor,
I want to thank Congressman Bill Johnson for being a strong advocate for the energy industry in our area. A few weeks ago he gave an excellent address to the Oil and Gas Conference in support of shale development. Congressman Johnson has also been on the frontline in calling our President Obama and Nancy Pelosi for their War on Coal, which affects so many jobs in our area and Ohio. He was selected to be on the Energy and Commerce Committee in the House this term, which means the people of Eastern and Southeastern Ohio will have their voices heard in Washington. Energy development in our area is a game changer and as long as we have people like Congressman Johnson representing us we are in good hands. If you have the opportunity to hear Congressman Johnson speak on energy or any subject for that matter, please don't pass it up. He truly is someone our area can support and be proud to call our own.

The Paralegal Associate of Science degree at Newman University prepares students to enter the legal profession as a legal assistant, a profession experiencing record job growth in the United States. Legal assistants, or paralegals, can be found in an array of settings from private law firms to corporate legal departments to government agencies.
The mission
The mission of the paralegal studies program is to provide a sound program of education for the training of paralegals that is sensitive to emerging concepts of the role of the paralegal in the effective delivery of legal services, both in the private and public sectors, and consistent with the principles of ethical legal practice and legal restrictions on the practice of law by laymen; to provide a program which is responsive to the needs of the legal profession, including the paralegal career field, and which is committed to the advancement of the legal profession through more effective methods and techniques of law practice.
What is a paralegal?
In the practice of law, many tasks formerly done by attorneys are now performed by paralegals, also called legal assistants. Often these tasks can be completed more promptly, efficiently and economically by paralegals.
By virtue of education, training or experience, paralegals assist attorneys in a wide variety of tasks which may include:
- Gathering facts from clients and witnesses
- Researching cases and statutes
- Writing trial and appellate briefs
- Preparing corporate instruments
- Drafting pleadings
- Preparing trial notebooks
- Handling a multitude of procedural matters that require independent judgment, challenge and responsibility
Attorneys supervise paralegals and assume ultimate responsibility for the paralegals' work. Paralegals may not carry out duties which are considered to be the practice of law such as accepting clients, giving legal advice, setting legal fees or representing clients in the courtroom.
Where do paralegals work?
Many paralegals work in private law firms, corporate legal departments or various government agencies. They can work in many different areas of the law, including:
- Civil litigation
- Personal injury
- Workers' compensation
- Corporate law
- Criminal law
- Employment law
- Family law
- Bankruptcy
- Estate administration
- Property law
Paralegal duties vary extensively depending on the type of organization in which they are employed. Check out the USAJOBS website for job openings and salaries.
What do paralegals make?
Nationally, according to the US Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook, the median annual wage for paralegals and legal assistants was $46,990 in May 2012. Employment of paralegals and legal assistants is projected to grow 17 percent from 2012 to 2022, faster than the average for all occupations.
A variety of annual incomes have been reported by our graduates. Annual starting salaries ranged from $16,000 to $33,000 with an average of $21,421. Five years after earning the paralegal degree, annual salaries ranged from $19,000 to $47,000 with an average of $29,848.
Licensure or Certification
At present, paralegals are not required to be licensed or certified in order to be employable. A voluntary certification examination is sponsored by the National Association of Legal Assistants. Successful completion of the exam entitles a paralegal to use the designation Certified Legal Assistant (CLA).
The National Federation of Paralegal Associations sponsors the Professional Advanced Competency Exam which is also a voluntary exam. Paralegals who pass this exam may use the designation Registered Paralegal (RP).
Newman University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission located at 30 N. LaSalle St., Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602-2504; (800) 621-7440.

On a day filled with sadness for so many, baseball played on. On Jackie Robinson Day, and only a few hours after the horrifying explosions in Boston, the Phillies and Reds' starters went toe-to-toe in a terrific pitcher's duel. Unfortunately, the Phillies came up on the losing end of a 4-2 outing to the Reds.
Above is one of the greatest catches I have ever seen. It might be one of the greatest any of us have ever seen. Keep your eyes on it. It's just as incredible the 100th time you watch it as it is the first.
It's Ben Revere laying out completely to rob Todd Frazier of an RBI and extra bases, turning a sure double into a double play.
It's up there with the likes of Griffey, Mays, Edmonds, and some of the greatest plays ever made in center field.
As for the game itself….
– Cliff Lee was pretty excellent again tonight. He was aided by his man in center field, who also made another great catch up against the wall later on the game. Lee was fully in control through six, allowing only three hits to that point. But a Joey Votto single and Brandon Phillips double that should have been caught by Michael Young got Lee in trouble. A passed ball through the five hole of Erik Kratz allowed Votto to score and a 12 pitch walk from Jay Bruce, Lee's first walk in eleven months, seemed to telegraph Lee's demise. Lee would induce a double play to keep the game at 2-0.
– Not to be outdone, Bronson Arroyo pitched a heck of a game himself, going eight innings, scattering five hits, allowing 2 earned while striking out three to earn the win.
– Chase Utley came to the plate in the eighth for Cliff Lee and did something the other Phillies couldn't seem to do: got good wood on the ball and drove a Bronson Arroyo fastball deep into center field for a two-run homer to tie the game 2-2.
– More than anything, bad luck did the Phillies in tonight. Jeremy Horst entered the bottom of the eighth with the game tied 2-2. Speedster Derrick Robinson got the worst contact I have ever seen off a batted ball and turned it into a single, forcing Horst to field the ball to his right, with no chance to get him at first. Two batters later, Zack Cozart doubled on a lightly hit ball to right that Laynce Nix narrowly missed as he overran on a sliding catch attempt. Horst's night wrapped up with an intentional walk to Votto. Mike Adams relieved Horst and gave up a two-run single to Phillips on a letter-high fastball that was about an inch away from being in Freddy Galvis's glove.
The Reds took a 4-2 lead and Aroldis Chapman closed it out with a 1-2-3 ninth for his third save of the year.

Ugh. This is another loss that just stings like a hornet.
Ok. tough loss today. it seemed like a typical game where phillies find a way to tie it up only for the pen and bloop hits to sell their doom. however my rant is with our catchers. how many times are we going to watch kratz ground into a double play our leave a village in the base paths? seems every game he is a ralley killer. But now he can't catch a ball right in front of him. if this is what we have until chooch comes back why not try tommy joesph? can't be any worse.
I'm going to assume that you don't follow minor league baseball players regularly. I totally get it, you'd have to be kind of a baseball junkie like me, and not everybody is.
So you should know,
Tommy Joseph has been horrible behind the plate so far this season at LV, giving up 7 passed balls in 7 games, he is also not hitting much. At least for now, he is not the answer.
Great catch. One of the best I have ever seen. The game….Lee deserved to win and the bullpen (Horst) stunk.
Perhaps there is benefit in Revere watching flat-footed RFer Nix lay out for routine catches
in my opinion, another game charlie got over matched and cost us the game. i know we cant run adams out every night, but if your going to have him up in 8th, u might as well put him in to start it instead of letting horst self-destruct again!
i know alot of people have a love-fest with Charlie, but this team won despite him and with a decent manager would have won at least 1 more between '09-'11! not sure Sandberg is answer, but its worth a try!
"…with a decent manager would have won at least 1 more between '09-'11!"
That's a dubious claim, I think. Without specifying the specific things that a "decent manager" would have done differently, and why they would have turned out better, I am extremely doubtful.
Let me start by saying that the claim that a decent manager would have one at least one more World Series is absolutely insane. The best manager in the world can still get swept in the first round. That dramatically overstates the impact of the manager on individual games. However, Charlie has cost us quite a few games over the years. I would say that compared to the top guys Charlie is most definitely a negative overall value.
For one thing, he refuses to use closers in non-save situations to a point where it has become a running joke among several analysts (Jonah Keri, for example). That's not the only way that he mishandles the bullpen. He VERY rarely plays match-ups in high leverage situations, almost always choosing to trust one reliever with the entire inning rather than go to a LOOGY or ROOGY. This also has become a running joke.
When the team acquired Hunter Pence he benched Domonic Brown. At the time, Brown was batting considerably better than Ibanez in left. Charlie prefers to play veterans in any situation, so he kept Ibanez in. Although this ended up being a good decision at the time (as I recall, Ibanez went on a TEAR after the Pence trade), it damaged Brown's development and confidence and also hurt the defense (I don't care how bad you think Brown is in LF, he has NEVER been as bad as Raul. There are HS outfielders who will never play in college that are defensively better than Raul was at that time).
The Jimmy Rollins Leadoff Experience is finally over, but it should have ended 2 years ago. Honestly, Jimmy probably NEVER should have been leading off while sharing the field with Victorino, Pierre, or Revere.
Lately it's also worth mentioning that a smart manager would probably bench Howard more often against left-handed pitching. And even a competent manager would move him out of the 4-hole against lefties. Your clean-up hitter should not nearly be a guaranteed out every time he sees the opposing starter. Mayberry, Jimmy, and Chooch would all be options to take the 4, with Howard bumping down to 5 in those games. Chase would also be an option because his splits are much less dramatic.
He generally handles the offense well, although there is a VERY strong argument to be made that Chase should have been a 2-hole hitter for most or all of his career. That's not a major concern, a lot of managers would bat Chase 3rd because baseball as a sport hasn't caught on to lining up batting orders properly. Also, his teams have always drawn walks poorly. The swing first mentality most likely starts with him.
How much does all this add up to? Who knows? How many games have been tied in the 9th and never made it to 10 because our best reliever (Paps, Lidge, Madson, whichever it was at the time) stayed on the bench when there were men in scoring position? How many hits have guys like Valdes, Horst, Schwimer, Qualls, Romero (post 08), and the rest given up because they were expected to get outs against opposite handed hitters?
I like Charlie. He helped do something incredible for this team and this city. But much like Andy Reid (or Norv Turner) in football, Charlie is the guy that the other teams crack jokes about. He's extremely old-fashioned, and there has never been room for old-fashioned in sports.
@Devin, mostly agree, just a few comments:
– bullpen management: agree Manuel's not great, I just don't know that a majority of managers would do significantly better
– leadoff: Victorino was no better then Rollins, and Pierre was coming off back to back .657 OPS seasons, barely made the team, and wasn't expected to play very much
– walks: since Manuel arrived, the Phillies have walked more than any team in the NL, and swung first less (by a good margin) than any team in the NL.
In reply to Devin,
You raise some discussable points, but I'll offer a general view, and a specific one regarding this bit about using a closer in various spots.
Not that any manager is perfect, and being in a public position, it's fair to discuss their decisions. But what I find irritating at times is how quick people are to criticize. Sometimes, people would do well to respect time in the game, and closeness to the situation and closeness to the situation, and have a little more respect tha taking a position like they know better than someone directly involved.
To the point about the closer being used in critical situations, that's great in theory. And sometimes, it seems inarguably the thing to do. I vaguely recall a game a couple years ago when the Phils played at St. Louis, and in a tie on the road, Charlie still didn't pitch Madson in the 10th, opting for someone like Baez and in essence threw the game away. As it's been sometime, I forget the exactness of the situation, but as I recall being ultra pissed, I looked at the game in real time and concluded this was a time where you definitely use the closer where you might not if that's not your style.
But for the most part, using a closer in critical game points doesn't jive perfectly with reality.
Personally, I choose to think it's not quite that simple just for the fact that it's NOT a common practice. And the reasons I think that might be the case include this isn't the old days where your pen guys were typically lesser pitchers, and earned either small or less monies depending on what historic time frame at which you're looking. All arms are expensive now, including the 400K guys, let alone the Adams and Papelbon types. A game can change in a heartbeat, and you can't risk 2-3 warmups a game potentially without compromising the health of an arm. Plus, it's not fable that habit probably enhances preparation.
Charlie's done an overall good job here, helped by the bottom line results, and should be remembered positively when his tenure is finished. Many crticisms, as I opined at the outset are indeed discussable. But included in that lot of moves and decisions, I'll continue to respect that he's more experienced, and closer to the situation than me, and frequently give him some slack.
Enjoyed the well thought out message, and your one yesterday on the RISP. Enjoy the day.
A total of 8 runs in the last 4 games.
But on the positive, I am really impressed with Revere's defense.
Revere's catch is glorious and possibly the best play of the season so far.
Utz was clutch as hell.
Lee was very solid again.
But Kratz is killing us, now defensively. Today's game made me miss Chooch tremendously.
Was lee mad at Kratz for the passed ball or the umpire?
You arent supposed to come unglued like that.
But I am sure it is frustrating for him to have this lack of offense.
Does anybody else feel that the Rollins, Utley Howard, Young combo was getting hot during the Mets series and then when we went to Florida, Charlie messed up that chemistry by consecutively giving Rollins, Young and then last night Utley the day off? I know these guys need a day off here and there, but do they really need it this early in the season?
I don't feel that way, Johanna. I think these older guys need the breaks, and I'm glad Charlie is giving to them. Before the season he said Galvis might get 250 AB's, I guess this is what he was talking about.
I'm sure Lee is frustrated. This has been going on for him for 2 years. Lannan also has 2 good starts with nothing to show for it. Kratz stinks…period. He has killed so many rally's I can't even count that high. He can't block pitches or catch the ball either. My frustration with him has been building for days and days. We've been saying this for years, but the offense is maddeningly inconsistent. Even when they bring in new hitters, they catch the same disease. The bullpen is still lousy in the 6th and 7th innings. Not to mention a gimpy cleanup hitter who can't hit home runs anymore. This looks like an average team at best. Too many issues.
I really think very highly of Cliff Lee, he's a great pitcher and I'm glad he's a Phillie. But he has got to keep his composure in situations like that. There are always going to be times in a game when you can't control everything that happens.
If Ben Revere had not made those two catches earlier in the game, Lee would not have had anything to be frustrated about later. That awful throw he made to second was all on him, no one to blame. He's got to keep his composure pure and simple IMO.
Sometimes I think composure gets confused with just being tired after throwing six innings. When you're no longer at your peak, mistakes are made.
But what do I know?
Baseball analysis is one thing; psychoanalysis requires a degree and a license. I'm trying to stick to the former.
You don't need a degree to express an opinion on a sports comment page, George. 🙂
Do you think any of the present MLB managers have these degrees? But they do have to manage 25 personalities on a baseball team everyday.
I managed people in businesses, and coached baseball for many many years. Believe me there is much more to coaching than just teaching fundamentals, and putting together lineups. You have to get to know your guys, and get into their heads a little to understand how to extract the best performance possible.
Could Lee have been tiring at that point? Of course. But I can think of 25 million reasons why a tired athlete should be fit enough to turn and throw a baseball accurately to a second baseman from that position.
Again, back to my original statement, I'm very fond of Cliff Lee and am glad that he is a Phillie. He is a truly great pitcher. I'll stick to my opinion that his frustration may have cost him last night.
Ehhh…whatever… The Phillies lost a baseball game on a day when a whole lot of people either lost their lives or a limb or two. A bunch of innocent people's live were severely altered. Yeah, people die horrific deaths every single day, but once again a city and the nation has been attacked. It's not 9-11 but it smells so much like it. So I'm really not gonna put a whole lot of worry into whether Charlie didn't manage the game well enough or if Cliff Lee lost his composure or if Kratz sucked behind the plate. It's just not that important.
Seeing that Revere catch again did put a smile on my face though…
Well put Chuck – lives were altered becuase of what happened – in the big scheme, we are so lucky to only have a worry like a loss of a game.
Good point Chuck. Having lost my father, nephew and brother-in-law in the past 10 months makes baseball seem very unimportant…and it is.
I was unable to watch the entire game last night and missed the event you are referring to but, having had the priveledge of watching Cliff Lee pitch for us I have to say that he definitely gets a pass. Normally very level headed, an excellent athelete and seemingly great competitor without a big ego.
If this were a trend then perhaps its worth talking about. We have not been watching a younger Cole Hamels here nor Brett Myers. But a slip up? A tell tale sign of his humanity?
We all have a tendency to blow some steam once in a while.
Of course he should get a pass. No doubt about it, we are talking about one of the best pitchers in the game today.
I'm just noting what I believe I saw last night, Brooks. He lost his composure for an inning. I lose mine all the time, I know he's human.
The one problem I have is Charlie inability to use a pitcher for one batter. He has three lefties in his bull pen, use them when a left handed hitter comes up it drives me crazy that he feels that all his pitchers need to pitch whole innings
If Charlie wanted a lefty he should have used Bastardo. If he was going to pitch Adams he should have been brought in from the start. I realize he wants to get Horst and Durbin going. But a tie game in the eighth is not the time. In Miami in game two in the ninth the fielders should have been at double play depth.
I was at the game in Cincy last night… "An inch away from Freddie's glove" seemed to be the theme of the night. It was quite apparent that either he was positioned incorrectly a number of times, or the Reds got super-lucky with all of those seeing eye hits to that side. I have a feeling we missed Chase more than we realize last night.
