My Website: Fata Morgana PhotographyMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/FataMorgana
Mayhem # 1041717
About MeI am a photographer, wardrobe and set designer (#1862097) and occasionally a model (#2136968). I AM a photographer full time for 2 companies. My main source of income is from shooting weddings.
I have a studio in Toms River, NJ (in a large converted garage) therefore I will VERY RARELY shoot TF*. I invested a large amount of time and money into my equipment, wardrobe, props and of course the upkeep and utilities of the studio. I simply can not afford to provide all these things for free. My rates are very affordable though! But please note I now require a $25 NON REFUNDABLE deposit through paypal or money order for studio shoots. I will let people also use my studio and props, so you CAN also shoot with another photographer if I am not around at the studio. Rates start at $100 per day at the studio in Toms River. Contact me for more details at 732 503 8477
Please see my website for my info about my boudoir/pin up photography at: http://www.fatamorganaphotography.com/theboudoir.html
I started shooting abandoned buildings as a hobby which is really where all of this started. I am now getting pretty regular paid gigs shooting models as well as interiors. Infact most of my work in this profile is from abandoned buildings, my tagged photos and wardrobe account shows far more of my studio work, be sure to check it out!
I have an extensive collection of clothing. (see my wardrobe MM #1862097 and also my modeling MM #2136968) I am focusing on my pin up collection right now, although most of it has not been photographed. I have sizes ranging from 0-24.

Color: Light straw with green highlights.
Aromas: Dominated by ripe gooseberry and passion fruit notes with underlying green
capsicum notes.
Palate: The palate shows a rich concentration and pure Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
characters. The fresh capsicum notes are complemented by an oily texture, tantalizing
mineral and pink grapefruit flavors with a crisp acidity.
Food pairings: Rich, creamy vegetable or seafood soups. Panfried
prawns or scallops with fresh herbs (tarragon, chives, chervil, basil) or creamherb
sauces. Green vegetable and cheese-based quiches or marinated goat's cheese
with herbs and mustard would also work well.
Cellaring: Best consumed while young when the zingy freshness is dominant,
although the wine will develop further complexity if cellared for additional years.

Proposal Development
Getting Started
If you need assistance with identifying funding, proposal review and editing, collaborator identification, facility and resource descriptions, or other proposal development needs, please visit the Proposal Development Office.
If you want to apply to an extramural program which limits the number of applications an institution can submit, check out Proposal Development Office's Open Limited-Submission Competitions.
Building Your Proposal
Once you've identified the sponsor and program, it's time to start building the proposal application.
The Principal Investigator (PI) should follow these general rules:
Budget Review: Prior review of the budget and justification has been conducted by your College Grants Officer or other college pre-award resource.
eIAF Workflow Completed:
- Electronic IAF (Internal Approval Form) is completed and certified by all parties at least 3 business days prior to the sponsor's deadline.
- On-line Financial Disclosure statement is up to date.
- Sponsor Facilities & Administration (F&A) Guidelines, if F&A costs are less than the UK full rate, are attached.
Protocol Review: When applicable, regulatory approval has been sought and is indicated on the IAF: Human Subjects, Animal Subjects, Hazardous Materials and/or Radiation Safety.
University Signature: Send the final version of the proposal application to the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration (OSPA) at least 3 business days prior to the proposal submission date. If the proposal will be submitted via grants.gov or other electronic portal, you may upload the proposal to OSPA via the web.
The following checklist is a general guideline to assist you in proposal development; individual sponsors may have additional requirements:
Proposal Checklist
- Alert your Research Administrator and College Grants Officer or other college preaward support service contact as soon as you decide to submit a proposal.
- Send them a link to the sponsor's program guidelines and deadline.
- Let the Research Administrator know if the sponsor requires an online submission. Not all online proposal submission systems are immediately accessible, so early notification is key so OSPA can ensure we are set up in the sponsor's system.
- Contact your College Grants Officer or other college preaward support service contact for assistance with developing a budget and budget justification and proposal review.
- Verify the sponsor's form or package is the current version.
- Note the proposal deadline date and time, whether it's before the close of business or if it's in a different time zone.
- Work backwards from that date: The proposal must be received by OSPA at least three days prior to the sponsor's published deadline to ensure successful proposal review and submission.
- Start routing your Internal Approval Form (IAF) early: it must be received by OSPA at least three days prior to the sponsor's published deadline per UK policy.
- If the project involves more than one department or college, factor in additional time for routing as those certifications must be obtained before the IAF can be routed to OSPA.
- If the sponsor limits F&A, include a copy of the sponsor's F&A policy from the proposal guidelines.
- If cost share is included in the proposal, it must be indicated on the IAF under the University column.
- If the award will be fixed-price, attach a Fixed-Price Budget Form with Column A completed.
- Verify that your Financial Disclosure statement was updated in March and has been updated (including reimbursed travel for PHS funded projects) during the year if circumstances warrant.
- Work with your CGO or preaward support service contact.
- Follow our Budget Development Guidance.
- Follow the sponsor's guidelines regarding allowable costs.
- Cost share or match funds should only be committed if required by the sponsor's guidelines.
- Budget full F&A or the maximum allowed by the nonprofit or governmental agency.
- Does the project qualify for the off-campus F&A rate?
Use theOff Campus Effort Calculation Worksheet, budget and budget justification to make a determination.
- Follow the sponsor's guidelines regarding page length, font and font type, bibliography, appendixes, biographical sketches/vita, and certifications.
- Visit the Useful Proposal Information page for applicant name, address, DUNS #, and other frequently requested administrative information.
- If the sponsor requires a paper proposal, deliver the original proposal to OSPA, Kinkead Hall for final review and signature.
- If the proposal will be submitted via grants.gov or another electronic submission portal, upload the proposal to OSPA via the web.
Are you working on a National Science Foundation proposal?
Make sure your NSF proposal includes a Postdoctoral Researcher Mentoring Plan. Read more about UK opportunities for postdoctoral career development here.

President Obama said today that the world should join together and pressure President Bashar Assad to "prevent the slaughter of innocents in Syria."
"All of us who have been seeing the terrible pictures coming out of Syria and Homs recently recognize it is absolutely imperative for the international community to rally and send a clear message to President Assad that it is time for a transition," Obama said after meeting with Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark.
"It is time for that regime to move on, and it is time to stop the killing of Syrian citizens by their own government," Obama said.
Obama said "it is important that we not be bystanders during these extraordinary events," though he did not specify what action the U.S. might take.
While China and Russia have worked to block the United Nations against Syria, Obama said he is encouraged by the "international unity" that is building against the Assad government.
Obama pledged to "look for every tool available to prevent the slaughter of innocents in Syria."
Thorning-Schmidt also denounced the attacks by Assad's government, saying "it is horrendous what we see in Syria now."
Some background from the Associated Press:
Obama spoke in Washington shortly after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used strong language to denounce Russia and China for protecting Syria, and the president's language about the need for world unity was viewed as a similar condemnation of those two nations.
Obama said he was encouraged by developments out of Tunisia on Friday, where more than 60 nations, in a unified bloc, asked the United Nations to begin planning a civilian peacekeeping mission that would deploy after the Assad regime halts its brutal crackdown on the opposition.
The Tunisia meeting is the latest international effort to end the crisis, which began when protesters inspired by uprisings sweeping across the Arab world took to the streets in some of Syria's impoverished provinces nearly a year ago to call for political change.
Assad's security forces have responded with a fierce crackdown. The government blames the violence on Islamic extremists and armed gangs. The situation has grown increasingly militarized in recent months, with opposition forces increasingly taken up arms against the regime.
The U.N. estimated in January that 5,400 people were killed in the conflict in 2011. Hundreds more have died since.

Ich liebe Deutschland!
You don't speak German? Well, neither do I but I do know a few important words and phrases, and this one is key. So what does it mean in English? Quite simply, "I love Germany!" It's not hard to love this beautiful country of contrasts. From the flatter north to the mountainous south, from modern Berlin to enchanting castles, time spent in Germany can be good for any traveler. With Lufthansa, travel to Germany is easy, even if you're stopping just for a few days while traveling to or from other destinations in Europe. A great addition to any European itinerary is Munich, in the heart of Bavaria in the southeastern part of the country. If you decide to add a quick stop in Munich to your next European vacation here are some suggestions.
Day 1
A fun way to orient you with Munich is with a hop-on/off city tour, starting at the main rail station. The convenience of hopping off at any point you desire is a great value, but I personally enjoy riding the double-decker bus for the entire loop. In only 45 minutes you can begin to get a feel of the city and you can sit back and get your bearings. After completing the loop, head towards Marienplatz and the heart of the city. The walk from the main station to the famous square is about 12 minutes, and the street becomes a pedestrian zone once you reach the Karlsplatz, with each side of the wide avenue lined with department stores, tourist shops, and eateries. As you make your way be sure to stop at the Frauenkirche. Completed in only 20 years' time in the 1400s, the onion domes of this large basilica dominate the city's skyline. Once at the main square of the Marienplatz you'll find the beautiful new town hall ("Neues Rathaus") with its famous Glockenspiel. Time it just right (i.e.: arrive just before 11am or noon) and you'll witness dancing figurines on the clock as it chimes.
Just down the street from the Marienplatz lies the Viktualienmarkt, a colorful 200-year-old food market. There are storefronts surrounding the square as well open air and covered booths in the square. Take advantage of the variety of foods and the many picnic tables and grab lunch before moving on, or book a walking tour of the Viktualienmarkt with Avanti. The tour guide explains the traditions and background of the market and its offerings while you taste meats, cheeses and beer, and is available on a shared or private basis.
If you've read some of my past articles you know one of my favorite things to do in any city is find a fabulous viewpoint, and Munich as several. There is an elevator in the new town hall that can take you to the top for a view of the old town, but I prefer the view from Peterskirche, a 13th-century church situated between the Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt. Though you have to work for your view (no elevator here, just a somewhat narrow wooden staircase), it's completely worth it in the end. My family and I went to the top of this sweet church right before sunset started and were awarded with beautiful orange-tinged views of the Marienplatz, the town hall, and the domes of the Frauenkirche.
In the evening venture into any of the beer halls or gardens found throughout the city center. Even if you're not one for alcohol, there's still tasty food and a fun, lively atmosphere to be found. The world famous Hofbräuhaus is a few blocks from the Marienplatz, or try the Augustinerbräu, Löwenbräukeller, or the Paulaner Bräuhaus, all serving some of Germany's most famous beers. Avanti also has an evening tour of Munich that includes dinner at the Hofbräuhaus and a view from the tower at Olympiapark.
Day 2
Spend your day enjoying something that piques your interest. Car fanatics will want to head to the BMW Museum where more than 90 years of BMW heritage is on display. Those interested in technology will be stunned by the Deutsches Museum, the world's largest museum of technology and engineering. City center Munich also boasts a museum district, where you'll find the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, and the Pinakothek der Moderne, or "the old, new, and the modern" picture galleries. Thousands of paintings are available for viewing between these three museums, including pieces by Picasso, Manet, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Cezanne, and many other famous artists. Consider also a trip to the Residenz, an extensive complex in the heart of the city that was once the home to the Wittelsbach dynasty. Here you can view the largest coin collection in the world or simply enjoy the Hofgarten, a Renaissance garden inside the complex. There are also special collections of silver and porcelain from the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as an Egyptian art museum on site.
Another option is to travel a few hours south of Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle. Perched high on a mountaintop, this castle was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland. Commissioned in the 1860s by King Ludwig II, the king's plan was to have the castle be his personal refuge as well as a homage to the composer Wagner, of whom Ludwig was a very big fan. The king moved into the castle before it was complete but lived there for only 172 days before dying under mysterious circumstances in 1886. Construction ceased and the castle was opened to the public immediately upon his death. Though the exterior was completed, only 15 of the 200 planned rooms and halls were completed and most of the interior lies empty and unfinished. Escorted day trips to Neuschwanstein and two of Ludwig's other castles are available through Avanti on a shared or private basis, or you can do the day trip on your own. Should you decide to make the trip to Neuschwanstein on your own, take a train from Munich to Füssen, then a local bus from Füssen to Hohenschwangau. From Hohenschwangau you can walk (approximately 30 minutes) or take a bus or horse-drawn carriage. Don't forget to purchase your entrance ticket before making the trek to the top! Though it will mean a full day outside of Munich, a day trip to this magical castle is an unforgettable experience. [Side note: due to restoration work at the castle, the western and northern façades will be scaffolded until the end of 2012.]
Day 3
Take advantage of the delicious baked goods Germany has to offer at breakfast before saying tschüss (pronounced 'chooss', it means "see you later") to Munich. See, I told you I know the important words and phrases!
It's not just Munich that I love! Check out my past article on the charms of Heidelberg.

Animal Rights
Millions of families throughout California and the nation share their homes with animals, and animals play an indispensable role in our lives and our environment. Californians rightly expect government to protect animals from cruelty and exploitation. Our state has been a leader in protecting animals and implementing high standards for the humane treatment of animals. In the Senate, Kamala Harris will defend California's landmark laws and work to expand federal protections for pets, farm animals, wildlife and other creatures. Kamala is proud to have the endorsement of the national Humane Society.
As Attorney General, Kamala Harris has fought in court to defend California's animal welfare and protection laws, combatting out-of-state interests seeking to overturn California's animal welfare laws. Attorney General Harris made the decision to appeal a federal court ruling striking down California's ban on the sale of foie gras and the practice of forced over-feeding of ducks and geese. Similarly, Attorney General Harris defended California's laws requiring that eggs sold in California come from free-range hens or hens kept in cages sufficiently large that the hens can stand up, lie down and fully stretch their wings. Harris also defended a 2011 California law that banned the possession, sale and trade of shark fins. The law was intended to protect shark species and the ocean ecosystem after it was found that shark fin soup contributed to the market for shark "finning" – the removal of fins from live sharks.
As San Francisco's District Attorney, Kamala Harris successfully sponsored legislation that now allows judges to include a family's pets in protective orders in domestic violence cases. Too often animals are abused or threatened with abuse as a way of controlling others in the family. The law recognizes the special bond between human and animal and seeks to protect both from violence.
Our relationships with animals cut across socio-economic lines and affect people and their animal companions in every county in California. Federal animal welfare policy should respect that reality. Kamala Harris believes that all animals should be treated humanely and without cruelty. In the U.S. Senate, Kamala Harris will be a champion for legislation that values the relationship between people and animals and ensures that all creatures are treated humanely.
Fight for Nationwide Protections for Animal Rights
In the United States Senate, Kamala Harris will work to protect the rights of animals by supporting humane legislation, opposing government programs that use taxpayer funds to harm animals, supporting initiatives to protect animals and for adequate enforcement of animal welfare laws, and opposing inhumane laws or those which weaken current protections.
Safety for the Pets of Domestic Violence Victims: As a career prosecutor, Kamala Harris has had a special focus on victims of domestic violence. Fear for the welfare of their pets prevents thousands of battered women from escaping abusive situations. Abusers often exploit the emotional bond between victim and pet by threatening or inflicting abuse in order to maintain control of the victim. As Attorney General, Kamala sponsored the California law that recognized the importance of pets in domestic violence cases and will continue to fight for similar protections in the Senate like the Pet and Women Safety Act.
Veterans and Dog Training for Therapy: For many of our soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the companionship of a specially trained animal can make a significant difference in their recovery, as well as the opportunity to participate in the training of dogs for disabled veterans. Allowing shelter dogs to be part of the program can also provide homes for dogs in need of rescue. Kamala will push for federal funding for programs that enable veterans with PTSD to train dogs as a form of therapy and provide trained companion dogs to disabled veterans.
Anti-Cruelty Protections: In the Senate, Kamala will support strong enforcement to crack down on puppy mills and ensure humane care for dogs in commercial breeding operations. She also will support enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act, providing funding for USDA inspectors overseeing conditions at puppy mills, research laboratories, roadside zoos, circuses, and other regulated facilities. Kamala will also support federal legislation prohibiting malicious cruelty to animals.
Protecting Horses: In the Senate, Kamala Harris will fight for federal legislation such as the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act to ban exports of horses for slaughter in other countries, and prevent horse slaughter plants from re-opening in the U.S. Kamala also will support legislation such as the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act to ban doping of racehorses and allow the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to oversee and enforce the new rules. Finally, she will push for more humane treatment and population control of wild horses by the Bureau of Land Management.
Animals Used for Product Testing: Kamala Harris will fight for greater funding for the development and approval of alternative chemical testing methods that could reduce the use of animals in product testing. Alternative methods for determining toxicity are often more effective than animal testing and eliminate animal suffering.
Wildlife Protection: Kamala Harris will support continued funding for wildlife conservation, habitat protection programs and efforts to combat illegal poaching and she will oppose any efforts to weaken the Endangered Species Act. She also supports legislation to prohibit monkeys, chimpanzees, and other primates from being shipped across state lines for the pet trade. And she will support legislation such as the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act to limit the breeding of lions, tigers, and other big cats to accredited zoos. Kamala also will support legislation to protect sharks from "finning", the practice of cutting the fins off sharks, often while they are still alive.
Fight for National Climate Change Legislation: Too often climate change isn't considered in terms of what it means for biodiversity. In California, we recognize climate change as an existential threat, and we shouldn't forget that entire species are at risk for extinction because of climate change. In the Senate, Kamala Harris will work to ensure that animal species are given special consideration as the nation develops climate change policies.

Most former electors and every leaseholder and every copyholder were now excluded.
The free tenant was neither a yearly tenant, nor a leaseholder.
Normally he is a leaseholder, sometimes for life, more usually for a period of years ranging from twenty-one to eighty.
Another fashion in which grievous injustice to the leaseholder can be done is frequently illustrated.
This did not suit a certain Major Thornhill, a relative and leaseholder, and thereupon a pretty plot was hatched.
The interest of the customary tenant, therefore, virtually depreciated to the level of that of a leaseholder.

Joanne is a 12 yr old runaway in the company of hooker, Kelly, and they're trying to stay alive despite a dead gangster's son and a furious pimp on the warpath.
Prostitutes, paedophiles, perverts... the world depicted in London To Brighton isn't pretty. Each flashback brings us closer to the ugly truth, as 12 year-old runaway Joanne (Georgia Groome) and battered whore Kelly (Lorraine Stanley) flee the capital, pursued by a shotgun-toting pimp and a vicious gangster's son.
There's not an ounce of fat on the screenplay, which moves hard and fast without resorting to genre stereotypes or getting up on a social-realist soapbox. After so many Lock, Stock clones, this single-handedly reinvents the British crime movie — it's an urban noir with
a heart of gold and balls of steel.
British urban crime movie that is several cuts above the rest.

Lewisburg, Pa. - The Loyola women's track team sent three student-athletes to the Bucknell Invitational on Friday night, and while all three competed in the same race, it was assistant coach Julie Culley who stole the spotlight by winning the 5,000-meter race in 16:08.
Culley, who was an All-America cross country track runner at Rutgers, holds the RU school record in the 5,000 and competed unattached at the Bucknell.
For Loyola, senior Andrea Rovegno put together a very impressive performance, placing fifth in the 5K with her fastest time in the even since 2005. Rovegno posted a 17:10 in her first 5K of the outdoor season.
Sophomore Maureen Wynne placed 24th in the race with a time of 18:02 while senior Colleen Depman registered a time of 19:04.
"We raced very well today," says Loyola head coach Brett Harvey. "This is a big momentum builder going into some big races like the Penn Relays and MAAC Championships."

Trinity on track to meet its prospectus forecasts
Page Tools
Brisbane listed commercial and retail property investor-developer Trinity Consolidated Group says it is on track to meet its distribution forecast of 5.33c a unit after releasing its first net profit of $909,507 since listing on December 14, 2004.
Trinity's group chief executive, Ben McCarthy, said investment by all three divisions - a listed trust, an unlisted trust and Trinity Consolidated Projects Pty Ltd - had all performed better than forecast for the period.
Trinity was formed after the merger of Trinity Funds Management and part of Consolidated Properties, a 25-year-old Queensland developer.
Mr McCarthy said the figures released for the months since listing showed the group was on track to meet the prospectus forecast distribution of 5.33c per security for the period to June 30, 2005. No interim dividend was paid.
"The majority of our income remains rental-backed property income without the inherent risk of development and construction," Mr McCarthy said.
"Our assets and investments continue to perform at better than forecast earnings and we expect this to continue.
"Our recent acquisitions, including a site at 100 Coonan Street, Indooroopilly, are evidence of the strategic growth plans the group is pursuing. These are just the first of a number of significant deals we will be announcing in the near future.
"We are actively undertaking our forecast acquisition strategy to grow our portfolio with quality assets with good rental-backed yield that also have value adding opportunity," he said.

A few months ago, artist Alexandria Law saw some photos online of adorable little girls dressed as superheroes. She realized that most of the kids had much better design ideas for female heroes than most grown ups do. For one thing, they're fully covered and have fabulous accessories. She started the blog Better Supes to document the outfits as she turns them into fully developed sketches. We've featured some of them before, but Law has continued to add to the collection – including some original characters. These latest works just continue to prove that little girls are better than most of us at costume design.

|Home > National News > Article
Former detective inspector John Davidson wasn't wearing his trademark red suit, but he was as feisty as ever when he appeared yesterday at the Police Integrity Commission and denied that he had routinely fabricated evidence.
Mr Davidson, who gave his occupation as "retired", said he believed he had become a target of the commission, and other agencies, because he was an outspoken and colourful character.
He spent much of his time in the witness box denying that, as the commander of Task Force Magnum, he had encouraged his officers to "load and verbal" suspected armed robbers.
He also managed to:
Describe the former NSW detective Roger Rogerson as "a poisoned, evil little man".
Criticise the Wood royal commission's conviction rate.
Say of a Sydney criminal, Billy Stuart: "He's dead now, that's why he looks a bit grey."
The commission is focusing on an armed robbery at Danny's Seafood restaurant at La Perouse on February 16, 1991, and the subsequent investigation.
Counsel assisting the commission, Greg Farmer, has told the hearing that officers under Mr Davidson's command arrested Billy Stuart and another man, now known as C11, on March 7 and charged them with the robbery.
Stuart went to trial and was found not guilty, while the charges against C11 were dropped after critical witnesses changed their evidence.
Four members of Magnum - Mr Davidson, Ian Blake, Robert Irwin and a detective now codenamed N1 - were subsequently charged with fabricating evidence against both men with the intent to pervert the course of justice. They were acquitted in March 2000.
The officer known as N1 has now admitted he falsified C11's alleged confession and has implicated Mr Davidson, who, he claims, told him: "It's got to be done. If you don't do it, I'll do it."
Mr Davidson said he had no knowledge of improper activities by any of the Magnum team.
Mr Farmer: Did you expect members of Task Force Magnum to load and verbal suspects?
Mr Davidson: No.
Mr Farmer: You have been accused of verballing prior to Task Force Magnum, have you?
Mr Davidson: Oh, many times.
Mr Davidson said that it had never occurred to him to fabricate evidence and that it was "ridiculous" to suggest he'd allowed junior officers to do so.
The hearing continues.

Port of Oakland Welcomes Two New Commissioners
Oakland, Calif. —August 3, 2012— On Wednesday, August 1, Mayor Jean Quan swore in two new Commissioners for the Port of Oakland, Cestra "Ces" Butner and Bryan Parker. The commissioners were recently nominated by Mayor Quan and appointed by the Oakland City Council on July 26, 2012. They replace outgoing Commissioners Pamela Calloway and Margaret Gordon. Commissioners Butner and Parker will join the Commission at its upcoming Special Meeting on August 16, 2012.
"I welcome the opportunity to work with Commissioners Butner and Parker to continue guiding the Port toward a sustainable future," commented Board of Port Commissioners President Gilda Gonzales. "Their practical business experiences will be welcome additions as we continue our relentless focus on our core aviation, maritime, and commercial real estate businesses in fulfillment of our duties under state law as trustees of state tidelands."
Commissioner Cestra "Ces" Butner is the President, CEO and owner of Horizon Beverage Company, an Oakland-based beverage distributorship that supplies retailers in Northern Alameda County and Western Contra Costa County. Upon graduating from the University of Missouri in 1975 and working in Minneapolis and Chicago for Fortune 500 companies, Butner settled in Oakland in 1981, working for a local beverage distributorship. By age 33, he became the youngest owner of an Anheuser-Busch wholesale operation in the country. Through acquisitions and expansions over the last 25 years Butner has more than tripled the size of Horizon Beverage Company revenues placing it among Black Enterprise's top 100 Black Owned Business nationally. His community service work includes serving on the boards of the East Bay YMCA, Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, and as president of Sequoyah Country Club. Butner lives in Oakland with his wife Teresa and two daughters Raquel & Andrea.
Commissioner Bryan Parker serves as the Vice President of Davita, Inc., a Fortune 500 company and leading provider of kidney care in the United States, providing dialysis service and education for patients with chronic kidney failure and end stage renal disease. Prior to joining Davita, Parker volunteered for nine months with the Obama presidential campaign's finance committee and before that, he was the Chief Operating Officer of a $100 million global digital media company. Parker's broad expertise also includes investment banking, operations management and law. He received his BA from the University of California, Berkeley in Political Economy of Industrial Societies and JD from the New York University School of Law in 1995 (bar certified in both California and New York). Parkers' community service includes volunteering at his local church, Allen Temple Baptist Church and his hobbies include art collecting and football.

Late Season Fools on Liberty RidgeI feel we lucked out at every turn on this mountain. We stood beneath melting serracs, crossed soft snow bridges, escaped avalanches, evaded rock falls, found alternate routes over the bergshrund, endured foul weather and foiled hoards of mice. We didn't survive because we were wise or great mountaineers; we were just plain lucky. I have every respect for the formidable Mount Rainier. Why she let these late season fools walk away without a scratch is a mystery to me even to this day.
A Dreadful lower ridge
It felt like it was hours that we were struggling up extremely loose and steep dry ground. I had expected Liberty Ridge to be frozen solid or at least to have hard snow on it. So where was all the snow and ice? For a while every step started a rock avalanche.
I saw a rock about 2 x 3 feet in size. "That must be big enough to stand on and rest," I thought to myself. I made my way to it and stood on it. " Ah, that feels good." It took only seconds before the rock started to move. I slid down a few feet with it and quickly fell to the side and stopped. The rock, however, didn't. I yelled down, "Rock!" I couldn't see Dick, but Steve looked up for a second and looked down again. I yelled, "BIG Rock, guys!" Steve disappeared too.
The rock avalanche was sizable and headed directly toward them. I looked in their direction and prayed. When the slide—more like a trundle—stopped, I yelled down, "Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah!" someone yelled back.
I thought to myself, "I could have killed my two best friends."
The Approach
Dick said, "You know what that means, guys. We have to hurry!"
The approach to Carbon Glacier went pretty smoothly. We camped close to its edge and watched the sunset do its afternoon dance on the north face of Rainier. I'm not sure if I got any sleep that night; I couldn't wait to get started early in the morning. If it had been up to me, we would have started pre-dawn before snowbridges got too soft to cross. Getting Dick and Steve out of their bags, however, was a challenge.
The Glacier
Dick muttered, "This feels more like work than vacation."
Carbon Glacier was fully sunlit when we came to the first seracs. They were leaning and melting like a faucet that was left on. This was when we made our next foolish mistake by filling our water bottles. I guess the mountain gods were on our side to keep the seracs from rolling on top of us and to keep the snow bridges from collapsing under our feet.
We made fast progress toward the base of Liberty Ridge with our eyes scanning for any snow gullies. None were to be found. The most solid rock section was a broken up steep step about forty feet in height.
I pointed, "That's our route, but we can't use a rope." I was afraid a rock would break off and hit the rope, taking me down with it into the gaping mouth of a crevasse below.
The Ridge
"Okay, Steve. Climb!" Dick shouted down.
I started working my way further up the ridge. Within minutes I heard a loud crash! I yelled down, "Are you guys okay?"
Steve had pulled a large loose rock off the rocky section, but he was okay.
We moved carefully and methodically. I was praying for some snow and ice. I was tired of finding my way through steep and loose scree. A few hundred feet below Thumb Rock, our bivy site and objective for the day, I came across the first hard snow. I took out the rope, flaked it out on a rock, and quickly put on my crampons. By now Dick was there. I handed the rope to him and asked him to feed it out. In what seemed less than an hour, we were all on the base of Thumb Rock.
Around ten o'clock at night it rained for a short time. I worried obsessively that a rock would break off Thumb Rock and land on us. My fears came to be realized in the middle of the night when I heard another loud crack. It was a rock about a foot long that broke off the other formation and rolled to within feet of our bivy site. Sheer luck. I am predictably bad at getting sleep the first two nights in mountains. The rock fall didn't make it any easier to get any shut eye. In any event, morning dawned and Dick, Steve and I had to get going. We had 4,000 feet of steep snow and ice to climb.
The Shooting GalleryIt had rained on us for a short time the night before. Rain at 10,000 feet? I thought to myself. This cannot be a very good sign.
In the morning one of the first things I noticed was hearing the sound of running water. By 8:00 a.m. it sounded like thousands of creeks running down Willis Wall to our left. Within a few hundred feet we came to what I called "The Shooting Gallery." We had to go through a rocky formation that looked like a gun sight. Countless smaller rocks had come down the gun sight and scarred the steep slopes below. We scanned with our eyes for any possible alternate way to go up. None seemed any better.
Dick started to lead, heading straight up. Small avalanches of sand and pebbles poured unrelentingly down the middle of of the gun sight. Dick hadn't reached the worst part yet when we saw some bigger pieces coming through the notch. One piece was noticeably larger than the rest. It missed Dick and came directly toward me. I didn't want to jump out of the way until it got closer. I was tied with a 4-foot leash to my ice axe that was buried in the snow. I had to be sure which way to jump. By now the rock had picked up considerable speed and was tumbling down toward my legs. At the last second I jumped to my right. The rock hit my ice axe's adze and bounced, missing me by two feet. "Let's hurry up and go through this, guys!" I yelled.
Upper RidgeOnce we passed the Black Pyramid, we could not hear the running water anymore. The temperature dropped quickly and we put on extra layers of clothes. From this point on we did not see any more rock falls. The ridge seemed pretty consistent at 40-45 degrees with steeper sections peppered in mostly hard snow. Not much different from any other volcano: the higher you climb the less obvious the summit's location. Still, we figured that as long as we were going up, we should be getting closer to the top.
I worried about the infamous bergshrund that I knew we had to overcome. But where was it? We finally reached a vertical section about 15 feet. No, this was not the shrund. There were no crevasses on either side, and it didn't look like the photos I had seen. The three of us were tired. Progress slowed down considerably. And then I saw it: bergshrund ahead.
Getting Lucky
Summit Bivouac
Summit of Liberty Cap, Mount Rainier, Descent down Emmons Glacier
When we crawled into our bags the night before we didn't know exactly how far we were from the top. I was the first one out of my bag in the morning. Looking up I realized we were only a couple of hundred feet from the summit cone of Liberty Cap. Hurriedly I put on my crampons and grabbed my pack heading for the summit. Steve and Dick stuck their heads out of their tent and gave me dirty looks for being so chipper.
"See you on top, boys!" I shouted obnoxiously.
When I got to the top I realized that the entire mountain—except for the two summits—was socked in. It didn't take long for Dick and Steve to show up on top. After taking a few summit shots, we proceeded to drop down about 400 feet to the saddle between the Liberty Cap and Columbia Crest. Another 800 feet of easy hiking put us all on top of Mount Rainier.
Getting Lucky againBy the time we reached the main summit of Mt. Rainier, the storm was upon us in its full fury. We scrambled to take a few summit photos, then turned to the task of descent.
Our original plan was to find Saint Elmo's Pass which would lead us back to the north side of the mountain. But with the storm and cloud cover, we decided that finding the pass would be nearly impossible. Fortunately I had located a trail of footprints heading down toward the east side of the mountain. It would take us down to Emmons Glacier. We headed down. By the time we reached the treeline, darkness was upon us. We were forced to spend another night on the mountain. Although it rained most of the night, we were so tired that nothing kept us from sleeping—not even being attacked by hundreds of persistent mice trying to burrow into our sleeping bags with us.
In the morning we headed down the trail in an on-and-off rain. We ran into two climbers going up the mountain who were planning to approach Liberty Ridge via St. Elmo's Pass. I told them about rain on our Thumb Rock bivouac sight, and the rock falls that had nearly finished me. Prudently they decided to cancel their climb and go back down with us. They also offered to take one of us to the north side parking lot to get our car. Steve volunteered to go. Lucky again, since we had no other way to get to our car parked 60 miles away.
Call me lucky; call me superstitious. I think Mount Rainier let us "Three Late Season Fools" off the hook too easily. Or, may be she was touched by the love we had for her.

2009 top underreported technology stories:9. Patent Office to inventors: See you in 2013
Think it's tough getting Apple to approve your iPhone app? Just try and get approval or a patent in the United States. It now takes nearly three years to find out if the U.S. Patent Office will give you the thumbs-up.
Maybe you'll never file a patent yourself, but patents equal innovation. An industry that can't protect its intellectual property by patenting it is less innovative, less dynamic, and less able to create capital and jobs.
[ Related: "Tech to Obama: Rethink patent reform" | "Patent trolls: Machiavelli's descendents" ]
The warning symptoms: The U.S. Patent Office is underfunded and overburdened, awards in patent lawsuits have become astronomical, and the cost of defending claims against a patent has soared.
Last year, nearly 500,000 applications were filed with the U.S. Patent Office, adding to a backlog of about 1.2 million. The agency has a budget of about $1.9 billion, all of it raised via application fees. Not only has Congress declined to give the office more resources, it treats it like a piggy bank, diverting the money it takes in to other uses. And by all accounts, the patent office is embarrassingly burdened with second- or third-rate technology, another factor slowing down the approval process.
Maybe the quality of patent applications has gone down, or maybe the system is suffering from an unexplained blip, but in fiscal 2008, the Patent Office's Board of Patent Appeals approved only 44 percent of patents that came before it -- down from 66 percent five years ago and 71 percent at the start of the decade.
Meanwhile, patent litigation costs can run as high as $5 million in cases where potential damages exceed $25 million, according to the American Intellectual Property Law Association. "As the costs of litigation increase, the stakes for companies are getting higher and higher," says Bijal Vakil, an intellectual property attorney with the firm of White & Case.
Before 1990, only one patent damage award passed the $100 million mark. Since that time, huge verdicts in patent cases have become increasingly common, with at least five topping $500 million, Vakil says.
At the same, lawsuits waged by "nonpracticing entities," less politely known as patent trolls or patent hoarders, have increased sharply, while overall patent litigation is down, according to Patent Freedom, a Web site that tracks troll activity.

I have seen on the vine and in the news the word fascist used more times in the last two decades than during the entire cold war to describe Americans who didn't agree with another persons views, I thought that since I had seen it used twenty times or more in one articles posts here on the vine that I would look it up and see just what the heck it really meant. When I saw what it meant in total I figured I'd "educate" the vine.
Fascist as insult
Main article: Fascist (insult)
Following the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II, the term fascist has been used as a pejorative word,[55] often referring to widely varying movements across the political spectrum.[56] George Orwell wrote in 1944 that "the word 'Fascism' is almost entirely meaningless ... almost any English person would accept 'bully' as a synonym for 'Fascist'".[56] Richard Griffiths argued in 2005 that "fascism" is the "most misused, and over-used word, of our times".[26] "Fascist" is sometimes applied to post-war organisations and ways of thinking that academics more commonly term "neo-fascist".[57]
Contrary to the common mainstream academic and popular use of the term, Communist states have sometimes been referred to as "fascist", typically as an insult. Marxist interpretations of the term have, for example, been applied in relation to Cuba under Fidel Castro and Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh.[58] Herbert Matthews, of the New York Times asked "Should we now place Stalinist Russia in the same category as Hitlerite Germany? Should we say that she is Fascist?"[59] J. Edgar Hoover wrote extensively of "Red Fascism".[60] Chinese Marxists used the term to denounce the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet Split, and likewise, the Soviets used the term to identify Chinese Marxists.
Understanding the insult of being called a fascist is a major part of understanding fascism in total, so, let's begin there. Fascism has only been around for a hundred years as fascism, before this time it was being either a moderate Liberal or a moderate Conservative, depending on your beliefs. However, there was a strain of these two that considered the idea of moderation the only part that really needed to be addressed, this is when Fascism as a political belief grew into a viable component.
Fascism (pron.: /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.[1][2] Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that seeks the mass mobilization of the national community through discipline, indoctrination, and physical training.[3][4] Fascism utilizes a vanguard party to initiate a revolution to organize the nation upon fascist principles.[5] Fascism views direct action including political violence and war, as a means to achieve national rejuvenation, spirit and vitality.[3][6][7]
Fascism recognizes the occurrence of class conflict, and advocates a resolution to end the division of classes within a nation and secure national solidarity.[8] However fascism publicly favours proletarian culture due to its association of proletarian culture with economic production and claims that the proletariat as producers must have a dominant role in the nation.[9] It rejects standard bourgeois culture that it associates with unfit sedentary lifestyle, individualism, plutocracy, and the bourgeoisie's economic exploitation of the nation's proletariat, that fascism views as inconsistent with virile nationhood.[10][11][12] Fascism claims that cultural nationalization of society emancipates the nation's proletariat, and promotes the assimilation of all classes into a proletarian nation.[8]
Fascism advocates a state-controlled and regulated mixed economy; the principal economic goal of fascism is to achieve autarky to secure national self-sufficiency and independence, through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.[13] It promotes regulated private enterprise and private property contingent whenever beneficial to the nation and state enterprise and state property whenever necessary to protect its interests.[13]
Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who combined left-wing and right-wing political views.[14][15] Fascists have commonly opposed having a firm association with any section of the left-right spectrum, considering it inadequate to describe their beliefs,[16][17] though fascism's goal to promote the rule of people deemed innately superior while seeking to purge society of people deemed innately inferior is identified as a prominent far-right theme.[18] Fascism opposes multiple ideologies, such as communism, conservatism, liberalism, and social democracy.
So, as we can see by the definition that calling a Liberal a Fascist is an insult, not a fact, but, is it an insult to the Liberal or the Fascist? Also, calling a true Conservative a Fascist is an insult as well, because according to the above text Fascism opposes both Liberalism and Conservatism. So, who in our country can really be called a Fascist?
Historians, political scientists and other scholars have long debated the exact nature of fascism.[24] Each form of fascism is distinct, leaving many definitions too wide or narrow.[25][26]
Roger Griffin describes fascism as "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultranationalism".[27] Griffin describes the ideology as having three core components: "(i) the rebirth myth, (ii) populist ultra-nationalism and (iii) the myth of decadence".[28] Fascism is "a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti-conservative nationalism" built on a complex range of theoretical and cultural influences. He distinguishes an inter-war period in which it manifested itself in elite-led but populist "armed party" politics opposing socialism and liberalism and promising radical politics to rescue the nation from decadence.[29]
Emilio Gentile describes fascism within ten constituent elements:[30]
- "1) a mass movement with multiclass membership in which prevail, among the leaders and the militants, the middle sectors, in large part new to political activity, organized as a party militia, that bases its identity not on social hierarchy or class origin but on a sense of comradeship, believes itself invested with a mission of national regeneration, considers itself in a state of war against political adversaries and aims at conquering a monopoly of political power by using terror, parliamentary politics, and deals with leading groups, to create a new regime that destroys parliamentary democracy;"
- "2) an 'anti-ideological' and pragmatic ideology that proclaims itself antimaterialist, anti-individualist, antiliberal, antidemocratic, anti-Marxist, is populist and anticapitalist in tendency, expresses itself aesthetically more than theoretically by means of a new political style and by myths, rites, and symbols as a lay religion designed to acculturate, socialize, and integrate the faith of the masses with the goal of creating a 'new man';"
- "3) a culture founded on mystical thought and the tragic and activist sense of life conceived of as the manifestation of the will to power, on the myth of youth as artificer of history, and on the exaltation of the militarization of politics as the model of life and collective activity;"
- "4) a totalitarian conception of the primacy of politics, conceived of as an integrating experience to carry out the fusion of the individual and the masses in the organic and mystical unity of the nation as an ethnic and moral community, adopting measures of discrimination and persecution against those considered to be outside this community either as enemies of the regime or members of races considered to be inferior or otherwise dangerous for the integrity of the nation;"
- "5) a civil ethic founded on total dedication to the national community, on discipline, virility, comradeship, and the warrior spirit;"
- "6) a single state party that has the task of providing for the armed defense of the regime, selecting its directing cadres, and organizing the masses within the state in a process of permanent mobilization of emotion and faith;"
- "7) a police apparatus that prevents, controls, and represses dissidence and opposition, even by using organized terror;"
- "8) a political system organized by hierarchy of functions named from the top and crowned by the figure of the 'leader,' invested with a sacred charisma, who commands, directs, and coordinates the activities of the party and the regime;"
- "9) corporative organization of the economy that suppresses trade union liberty, broadens the sphere of state intervention, and seeks to achieve, by principles of technocracy and solidarity, the collaboration of the 'productive sectors' under control of the regime, to achieve its goals of power, yet preserving private property and class divisions;"
- "10) a foreign policy inspired by the myth of national power and greatness, with the goal of imperialist expansion."
So, as we can see there is a set of rules to being a Fascist. I've added bold to the steps above because I feel that it is important in the issues concerning the U.S. today, most of what is bolded above is of major concern because it is the ideals of one of the party's today, many of the politicians of that party and many of the members who have been very active, ie, the Tea Party have stated these very points in their speeches and on TV and here on the vine. Consider it very carefully, because if you believe any of the above points then you are well on your way to being a Fascist. I've said it before in the vine, if you are pointing a finger at someone and calling them a fascist there are three more fingers pointed at you.
Fascism is a chaotic take over of a government ending in bloodshed for the most part, however, as we have seen from the past a simple take over can happen with the implanting of ideas in the mind of the electorate, convince the electorate that they are under attack by Fascists or Socialists and then tell them that you can save them if they just vote for your ideas and accept your leadership and guidance.

Recombitek rFLU provides protection against disease caused by the Equine influenza A2 virus. Equine influenza is a virus infection that is spread through the air by respiratory secretions and can also be transferred by contaminated objects and people moving between infected and uninfected horses. While almost 100% of horses that are exposed to the virus become infected, almost one in five will not show any clinical signs - but will continue to shed the virus. Use of the Recombitek rFLU equine vaccine can significantly reduce shedding of the virus.
Recombitek rFLU utilizes recombinant canary pox viruses as a vector to target only the parts of the virus needed for an immune response while protecting against other diseases. The recombinant technology used in Recombitek vaccines stimulates both arms of the horse's immune system (circulating antibodies and cell-mediated immunity) and uses only the proteins needed by the horse to stimulate immunity. According to the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), a recombinant canary pox vaccine is expressed in a vaccine strain canary pox vector which does not replicate in the horse. Recombitek contains modified live/recombinant equine influenza virus and live canary pox vector. Recombitek rFLU may be used in healthy horses as young as 4 months of age. Residents of MI please ask your veterinarian for a prescription.
Use with syringes made especially for horses.
For more information please refer to our informative Vaccine Schedule For Horses. Or view our Equine Vaccine Product Chart.
Keep track of your horse's vaccinations and medical records with a Horse Health Record.
In accordance with federal packaging regulation 9CFR Part 112, vaccines may only be shipped in the manufacturer's original, unopened container. This regulation helps ensure vaccine quality and consistency in labeling. However, because of this regulation, we cannot accept open packages of vaccines for return or replacement once the seal or package has been broken.

Brussels (AFP) Nov 26, 2013
The European Commission on Tuesday urged EU governments to hit Belize, Cambodia and Guinea with trade sanctions over illegal fishing, while warning South Korea, Ghana and Curacao they may be next.
The European Union executive called for action against the first three with no 'credible progress' made since hitting them with so-called 'yellow cards' last year along with five others.
Once placed on an official list of "non-cooperating countries" in the fight against illegal fishing, related products from those territories will find themselves all-but shut out of the EU market of half a billion consumers.
The Commission also flagged up a new round of 'yellow cards' which puts key free-trade partner South Korea, Ghana and Caribbean island Curacao under mounting pressure to meet international obligations.
"West Africa was identified as a major source of illegal fishing and my intention is now take the same thorough approach in the Pacific," said EU Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Maria Damanaki.
Damanaki told a press conference that for South Korea, Ghana and Curacao, "this is not about EU legislation -- we are implementing international rules."
"We are very much willing to give them more time."
She said the "right to fish as they want" had to be set against the EU's "right to protect consumers."
The EU says at least 15 percent of all landings around the world are done illegally, between 11 and 16 million tonnes each year, with international rules agreed in 2001 routinely flouted.
Five countries made sufficient progress this year to avoid being expelled from EU markets at least until March next year: Fiji, Panama, Sri Lanka, Togo and Vanuatu.
The EU imports 65 percent of its fishing consumption.
Campaigners Greenpeace said the decisions announced would "motivate all six countries to improve fisheries management and help create a better future for their seas and fishermen."

It was a night of firsts as the Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals, 7-4. Johan Santana got the win, his league-leading seventh, with a little help, despite allowing six walks, one an RBI. He struck out 11, and the Mets pitchers struck out 15 on the night.
Daniel Murphy had a huge night, with three hits including five RBI and a home run. The homer was the fourth one in five games that was reviewed with video replay by the umpires. The hit was first called a double as it looked like the ball dropped into right field below the Pepsi Porch.
Jerry Manuel went out to argue that it actually hit the Pepsi Porch facade, which is considered a home run. After a review, the umpires agreed. Even the fans were mixed on whether or not it went the distance as those sitting above it said it didn't touch the wall, while the ones below said it did. Santana was the beneficiary as the Mets went ahead 5-3 in the bottom of the sixth. He had already thrown 120 pitches.
Luis Castillo reached base five times, with two hits and three walks. Angel Pagan also had a good night at the plate with two hits and a walk. Gary Sheffield was 1-for-2 with two RBI and two walks.
Fernando Martinez had a mixed night making a great catch against the fence in right field. He committed a huge mistake when in the sixth inning he hit a popup in the infield that was dropped. He failed to run right away and was thrown out at first. He was booed in his next at-bat. He still hasn't gotten his first Major League hit.
One cause of concern is something Manuel said in his post-game news conference. Sheffield was thrown out at home plate when the Murphy home run was initially called a double. He didn't slide and was tagged out. Manuel said he thought it had to do more with a problem with his legs than a mental mistake. The Mets need to tread lightly here as they can't afford to lose Sheffield to injury. Luckily, the Mets have an off-day Thursday to rest.
Here are the list of firsts in tonight's game:
1. The Mets are now in first place, after the Phillies lost to the Marlins, 6-2.
2. Daniel Murphy played first base and committed his first error at that position. Murphy's five RBI is a career high.
3. David Wright struck out four times, earning his first golden sombrero of his career.
4. Wilson Valdez made his first appearance with his first pinch-hit attempt. He grounded out.

|Performance and Accountability Report Fiscal Year 2007
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Strategic Goal 1: Optimize Patent Quality and Timeliness
High quality and timely examination of patent applications advances science and technology and creates the certainty innovators need in capital driven markets. The Patent organization is working closely with the public and its stakeholders to find the best ways to ensure that the U.S. patent system continues to promote innovation and U.S. competitiveness in the global economy. Proposed solutions will not be limited by existing laws, rules, processes or procedures. The following are the priorities for achieving this goal and our accomplishments in FY 2007.
Providing High Quality
Improving E-Systems
Exploring Range of Options to Meet Challenges
In an effort to continue increasing patent quality, the USPTO introduced the Accelerated Examination program. These procedures require the applicant to perform a pre-examination search and provide the examiner with a comparison of the results of that search to the claimed invention. In exchange, the USPTO completes prosecution of the application within a year. In the first year of the program, 24 patents were issued, one in four months from filing.
In order to focus on examination and improve the overall quality of patents, the USPTO published rules that will limit the number of claims in an application to a reasonable number, while giving applicants the option of filing an examination support document if they need more claims. The USPTO also published rules that require applicants seeking to file repeated continuation applications to show the need for the additional applications. Rules are also expected to be published requiring applicants to provide similar support information when they submit many prior art references in an application.
The USPTO collaborated in a peer-to-patent pilot that encourages the public to review volunteered published applications and submit prior art and commentary on what they believe to be the best prior art to consider during examination. Through the Patent Public Advisory Committee, the USPTO is reaching out to the user community to determine what types of examination options should be provided as alternatives to the current system.

Yellow Submarine Songtrack

Yellow Submarine Songtrack is a compilation/soundtrack album by the Beatles for the 1999 re-release of the 1968 film Yellow Submarine. The film was re-released on 13 September 1999 in the United Kingdom and the following day in the United States. In sharp contrast with other Beatles remasters available, the songs were fully remixed from the original multitrack tapes, something not done for the original Compact Disc release of the Beatles catalogue in the late 1980s (except for Help! and Rubber Soul), nor the 2009 remastered albums.
This album contains only the Beatles songs used in the film, including tracks absent from the original Yellow Submarine album. The extra tracks replaced the George Martin film score from the original release, while the complete score was included as a DVD audio track in the CD/DVD package featuring the album and film.
The album debuted in the UK charts at No. 8 selling 19,000 copies in its first week. It also peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200, with 68,000 copies sold in its opening week. In France the album debuted at No. 13.
It was reissued on CD on 4 June 2012 (5 June in North America) along with the film restored for DVD and Blu-ray release. While the original 1999 release was in a jewel-case, the 2012 version was released in a digipak, with the booklet and catalogue numbers the same as the earlier version, with a 1999 copyright date on the disc, and a 2012 date on the digipak.
The remixed tracks of the album feature many alterations and adjustments from the original stereo recordings.[4] Almost all of The Beatles songs included in the film are on Yellow Submarine Songtrack. An exception is "A Day in the Life", which was not put in because EMI did not want too many songs from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to be included. Although all of the tracks were remixed, the songs included on Songtrack are the standard catalogue recordings that were previously available on other releases. Consequently, the additional verse heard during "It's All Too Much" and the off-the-cuff rendition of "Think for Yourself" heard earlier in the film are not included on the album. In addition, "I Am The Walrus" is missing from the album, even though it is briefly heard in the film.
The title track, "Yellow Submarine," contains the line "a life of ease" from John Lennon that had been missing in prior stereo mixes of the song. The replies from Lennon to the main lyric are gradually panned and faded from the right side of the stereo field to the left. The sound effects in this version are also more pronounced.
"Hey Bulldog" was entirely recorded on only one four-track tape. The piano and drum performances were recorded together onto one track and were inseparable for a new mix. They remain on the left audio channel while the vocals and the snare overdubs performed by Ringo Starr are centred.
The automatic double tracking that possibly erroneously continued into the first verse on the 1966 stereo version of "Eleanor Rigby" was corrected in the 1999 remix. Additionally, the string octet is separated in a similar fashion to the Anthology 2 instrumental. The vocals by Paul McCartney are centred and slightly out of synch to the orchestration on this mix.
The prior stereo version of "Love You To" contains a shorter fade than the initial mono recording. This shortening is retained in the Songtrack version.
Acoustic guitars and percussion are situated at the left channel for the new mix of "All Together Now". McCartney and Lennon's vocals are centred while the chorus is split across the left and right. The background vocals heard on the second verse are more audible and the guitar is clearer.
The Songtrack version of "Only a Northern Song" marked the appearance of the song for the first time in true stereo. The original 1969 stereo album featured a synthesised Duophonic variant of the original mono version. A stereo mix of this song also appeared on the Anthology 2 compilation album, but was made up of alternative takes featuring different overdubs and lyrics.
Additional promotion
A number of unique promotions were launched to accompany the re-release of Yellow Submarine in 1999. These include a commemorative postage stamp series, action figures of the main characters and wide variety of assorted Yellow Submarine merchandise, such as mousepads.
Eurostar trains were painted in Yellow Submarine motif. In addition, a life-size yellow submarine was taken out on a publicity tour across the globe.
