TiVo's business model seems to be based on suing companies for selling DVRs that allegedly use its patented processes to do things that users take for granted such as watching one show while recording another. And today it challenged a formidable opponent: Time Warner Cable, which has 12M subs, is the No. 2 cable company and No 4 pay TV provider. TiVo's attack comes in an amended counterclaim to its patent infringement suit against Motorola, which is being heard in a U.S. District Court in eastern Texas. It blames Time Warner Cable for providing its customers with Motorola's DVRs. The cable company "engaged in objectively reckless conduct when they continued selling the infringing products in the face of an objectively high risk that they were infringing TiVo's valid United States patents," TiVo says. It has a perfect score so far in patent cases, reaching settlements with Dish Network, AT&T and Microsoft. TiVo has another suit outstanding against Verizon. B. Riley analyst Eric Wold says that while the counterclaim "could pressure (TiVo's) litigation expenses, we believe it is well worth the investment given past success rates and settlement amounts." TiVo wants a jury trial, and payments fro Motorola and Time Warner Cable for "compensatory damages." The cable company won't say yet what it thinks about the case, or how it will respond.
TiVo Says Time Warner Cable Infringed On Its DVR Patents
8 Comments
These patent laws are absurd.
Time Warner's DVR boxes are the absolute worst, and I can't believe that these things are actually distributed on such a large-scale basis
It's a case where the big company knows it doesn't need to make the huge advancements/repairs it so desperately needs to make (to satisfy customers) because the consumers have no viable alternative to their devices. We just have to sit back and take it. This is one reason why competition is a good thing and antitrust laws exist.
Time Warner's DVR is such a piece of junk compared to Tivo's you'd think Tivo would be ashamed to claim patent infringement!
Well truthfully Time Warner has gone out of their way to surpress the use of TiVos by their customers so I think this is just another jab in a longstanding feud between the two companies.
The only people who think patent laws are absurd are those who don't make their livelihood with intellectual property.
I agree with Superchopper, lets get rid of all these stupid patent laws. And while we're at it, let's dump all these absurd copyright laws as well. This way the MPAA has nothing to complain about.
Intellectual properties should belong to the people and not to those few that toil and spend their money making their dreams a reality.
Why it's absurd to let people have some sort of legal protection for their ideas and designs?
Anyone who thinks we don't need patent laws is a fucking moron and anyone who doesn't respect them should get what they deserve no matter the item in question.
Patents are absolutely crucial to businesses surviving. If TiVo didn't engineer the first DVR box, it would have been years before anyone else even tried. Nobody thought they'd last 15 years ago…now 60% of homes have a recording device at home. I've had TiVo boxes for over a decade now – they are the complete opposite of cable DVR ripoffs. They never break, freeze, miss recordings, and the TiVo interface is truly incredible. TiVo suggestions are the best. Nothing else compares. TiVo deserves to be compensated when a another company blatantly produces a cheap knockoff.
I've had DVR boxes from Charter Communications, Comcast and Cablevision – they're cheap pieces of crap that don't last 6 months. Also, that monthly rental charge for a DVR is way more expensive than the annual TiVo charge. Where as cable companies provide shitty service, high cost monthly rental charges, poor product interface, bad guide features, they continually break and miss recordings. And when the cable guy finally comes to replace it, you get a refurbished piece of junk that lasts maybe 6 months, if you're lucky. I'll never understand why people don't grasp how much better TiVo boxes are v. everything else.
Every element of a DVR was created by TiVo first. All has been stolen by cable company DVR's. The multi-room viewing for recorded content and transfer of shows between boxes, mobile phone or laptop viewing (i can watch every saved program on my TiVo on my phone and computer), Season Pass Manager, ability to manage recordings from a phone/computer, condensed folder options for recording programs (which if you 150+ hours of HD content, you need condensed folders), ratings for all shows…it was engineered by TiVo years ago. I could go on forever. Name a feature on a DVR, TiVo already has it.

Sizes: Finished chest circumference 38.5, 42 or 46.5 inches (98, 106.5, 118 cm).
Yarn: The pattern specifies two yarns from Rocky Mountain Llama Fiber Pool. Yarns from the pool are available mainly from the Co-op booth at fiber events. It may be easier to substitute another fingering weight yarn. NOTE: Yarn is used doubled throughout unless otherwise specified. The main color of the vest is black, with three additional colors for the patterned border.
Needles: Needles size differs for each vest size, as the vest is sized by gauge. Pattern suggests a 24 inch circular needle as follows:
- Size A: US 3 (3.25 mm)
- Size B: US 4 (3.5 mm)
- Size C: US 5 (3.75 mm)
- All sizes: 24" / 60 cm and 16" / 40 cm circular needles one size smalled than needle used for body
Gauge: This vest is sized by gauge, so gauge will determine finished size. Using garter stitch on larger needles:
- Size A: 22 sts and 44 rows = 4 inches
- Size B: 20 sts and 40 rows = 4 inches
- Size C: 18 sts and 36 rows = 4 inches
Techniques (included in book):

Women helping women across the globe. This group will serve as ambassadors for True Vineyard Ministries contributing time and talent to assist with special event activity, public relations/marketing efforts, networking, outreach efforts and assist with mission trips. This women's leadership organization will help to identify and implement third party fundraising opportunities to further our work in Rwanda.

The Marketplace sells personally selected handcrafted items that are created by widow's cooperatives, orphan-headed households and other African artisans working to say goodbye to poverty through hard work and creativity. In addition to our store front boutique, The Vineyard Marketplace promotes Trunk Shows to be hosted in various market events, organizations and specialty event activity.

Kinky, that is a great method! Will have to tell my neices who are teenage 4a who like mainly straight hair.
I am looking for looser curls, banding would pull out too much texture for me. Thanks tho!

One of America's favorite summer reality TV programs returns TONIGHT and this writer couldn't be happier! So You Think You Can Dance kicks off its 8th season with a bang tonight at 8/7CST on Fox. The latest season, however, isn't without its minor changes as Executive Producer (fresh off the heels of a lackluster Idol season) Nigel Lythgoe spurs changes "to please everybody," he explains. This season, the show returns to it's classic Top 20 format, but will introduce All-Stars into the mix a la Season 7 once the show breaks into the Top 10. Those All-Stars, however, will not be chosen until it is known who has made the coveted Top 10. To the appeal of many fans, the show is doing away with the Top 11 of last year and returning to some of the basic principles that made this show a hit. Still, Lythgoe insists pairing the All-Stars with the competitors really "lifted their game immensely" and that "it gave them confidence because they were working with somebody in [their] genre."
Speaking of returning to some of the roots of the summer staple, "Hot Tamale Train" judge Mary Murphy is back behind the judge's table! Murphy battled thyroid cancer last year and was replaced by Mia Michaels, alongside permanent judge Adam Shankman. "I think she's going to be a little quieter this season," Lythgoe jokes. "Evidently, she is only as loud as a small hairdryer now, and not the jet engine she used to be." As for that third judge's seat, it will return to be a revolving door for guest judges, which I for one couldn't be happier about! Bring back the likes of Lil' C, Debbie Allen, and even Tabitha and Napolean to the judge's table. Hey, maybe Nigel will get his wish for Paula Abdul at the table for one week in an effort to pimp The X Factor which so happens to be premiering this fall on Fox.
As for this season's dancers, Lythgoe notes there are less formally trained dancers, who he describes as "very, very interesting characters." "We're much more of a street nature. The kids that have come this season… are absolutely brilliant, and they are picking up ballroom and they are managing to do the Viennese Waltz — or the Vietnamese Waltz, as so many of them call it. We want to see something exciting, something that makes us go, 'Wow, that's great.' So, I think that we're delivering this year." Are you psyched for the premiere of SYTYCD tonight? Don't forget, we'll provide recaps and we'll be live blogging each show during the East Coast viewing time right here in our forums! Don't miss a beat!

I'm not a single parent, but my BFF is dealing with a custody issue, and I thought you ladies my know what she can do.
B and her DH, P, were recently awarded physical custody of P's two sons from a previous marriage. When P's ex withdrew her objection to the change of custody during the evidentiary hearing, the judge asked her lawyer to draw up the new agreement. He said he could have it in by the end of the week. This was on August 30. The county still doesn't have the new agreement from P's X's lawyer. What can P and B do to speed things up? They need a copy of the agreement to get insurance for the boys, and the youngest has special needs. They can't transfer his SSI, add them to their insurance, get him into therapies or anything until they have that agreement. Is there something P can file with the courts to speed this up?
Any advice would be helpful. Sorry for the complicated backstory!

One of two French international football stars accused of sleeping with a teen prostitute had "no idea" she was under age, a court heard today.
Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery's lawyer also claimed call girl Zahia Dehar was not a "vulnerable person" because she was "always made-up".
Ribery, 30, and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, 25, could face up to three years' jail if convicted of bedding Dehar between 2008 and 2009 when she was aged from 16 to 17.
At the opening of the Paris trial, Ribery's lawyer Carlo-Alberto Bruso said: "There was nothing about her that suggested a vulnerable person. She is a woman always made-up, with her hair done and well dressed."
He said under age sex laws were too "imprecise" to prosecute the players. The age of consent in France is 15, and prostitution is legal, but only if both parties are over 18.
Benzema denies any sexual relationship with Dehar who shopped him to police investigating a Paris vice ring.
She is now a celebrity in France, having appeared on numerous reality TV shows and started her own lingerie range.
Court documents claim married Muslim Ribery paid her £600 for sex at a hotel in 2009 and that Benzema is suspected of paying her £400 for sex in 2008.
Neither Dehar nor the two players were in court.
The trial was adjourned until January to enable the law on underage prostitution to be reviewed.

This volume brings together a multiplicity of voicesboth theoretical and practicalon the complex politics, challenges, and strategies of educating studentsin North America and worldwidewho are speakers of diverse or nonstandard varieties of English, creoles, and hybrid varieties of English, such as African American Vernacular English, Caribbean Creole English, Tex Mex, West African Pidgin English, and Indian English, among others. The number of such students is increasing as a result of the spread of English, internal and global migration, and increased educational access. Dialects, Englishes, Creoles, and Education offers:
*a sociohistorical perspective on language spread and variation;
*analysis of related issues such as language attitudes, identities, and prescribed versus actual language use; and
*practical suggestions for pedagogy.
Pedagogical features: Key points at the beginning of each chapter help focus the reader and provide a framework for reading, writing, reflection, and discussion; chapter-end questions for discussion and reflective writing engage and challenge the ideas presented and encourage a range of approaches in dealing with language diversity. Collectively, the chapters in this volume invite educators, researchers, and students, across the fields of TESOL, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, English, literacy, and language education, to begin to consider and adopt context-specific policies and practices that will improve the language development and academic performance of linguistically diverse students.

Crafter's Paradise
My lifestyle is artsy, my craft friends would agree
So much tape that wrapping paper don't faze me
Hot glue gun, DIY? Done.
Groupies on my Pinterest for some homemade fun
Craft blog is booming, internet zooming
Known around the web for my sick yarn looming
Martha Stewart's teacher, DIY feature
Got some raw wool in my pantry waiting for me to bleach her,
Too many thrifts, turned into gifts
Give any crap from Goodwill a supercute facelift
Crease and tape it like a champ, never have to glue it
Cuz wrapping ain't easy; but somebody gotta do it

Thai nuns still yearning for recognition
Thai nuns still yearning for recognition
Anasuya Sanyal
23 Jun 2013
It is a rock star welcome in Bangkok for the world's highest ranking Buddhist nun from Japan. But all the excitement over Shinso Ito's visit contrasts with the status of nuns in Thailand.

BANGKOK: It is a rock star welcome in Bangkok for the world's highest ranking Buddhist nun from Japan. But all the excitement over Shinso Ito's visit contrasts with the status of nuns in Thailand.
And some women of the cloth want to change this.
Thailand's Buddhist leaders are all male monks and abbots and despite the millions of female faithful, it is illegal for women to be ordained as fully fledged monks, equivalent in stature and all else to monks.
Thailand does have a female spiritual tradition - they wear white robes and are called "mae chee".
But many Thais think that women should not be part of the male only monastic tradition so important for the country's Buddhists.
Fully ordained Buddhist nuns are not legally recognised in Thailand, as they are in Myanmar and Sri Lanka - a sign of continuing gender inequality women still encounter among the varying Buddhist traditions.
For Bhikkuni Dhammananda the path to becoming a nun has been a long one.
With no tradition of Buddhists nuns in Thailand, she had to be ordained in Sri Lanka as Thailand's first ever Theravada nun.
But she's hoping that will change.
Bhikkuni Dhammananda, Abbess of Songdhammakalyani Temple, said: "That's why I became very serious in my research, to find out that Buddha also gave ordination to women. But it is only in our country that this has never arrived... We are starting something new for Thai culture, but (female) ordination has always been there; ordination has always been there in the history of Buddhism."
Bhikkuni Dhammanda says she will continue to support the ordination of other nuns in Thailand but the law must be changed by politicians at the government level and not at the temple.
Mae Chee Sansanee, on the other hand, left a high powered career and founded the Sathira Dhammasathan meditation centre.
She encourages young girls to join her spiritual community for short periods of time, just like boys do.
She said: "For me after 33 years as a nun, the first 7 years I spent learning from teachers. This is essential, for nuns to get opportunity from monks.
But after we have developed and refined our mind, we can then create a community of nuns that is self-sufficient. And through our good deeds, we gain reverence and acceptance from society. "
But despite her popularity, she says she accepts her status and won't try to campaign for a change in the law.

Supposedly during the Buddha's time women could become monks. A lot of things were different in the beginning but Buddhism as with other religions is something different today. And as you can see from the news year after year, there are so many esteemed leaders in it who turn out to be warped and devious. Today we are more willing to criticize than ever but in the past the openness to speak up may not have often been there. What damage was done in the centuries of silence before?
If you are interested in Buddhism or just wish to know more for conversations sake, this video documentary will not disappoint you. Enjoy!

Thus women may not enter the sangha occupied by men devoted to dharmakaya as monks, as they may unwittingly or otherwise distract ordained monks from proper practice of dharmakaya.
A separate sangha of female devotees or nuns is entirely acceptable under Buddhism.

Court Hears Case of Ethnic Names in Vanity Plates
(Host) The Vermont Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case brought by a Wallingford woman who was denied a vanity license plate containing the word "Irish." The Department of Motor Vehicles policy prohibits vanity plates from including references to ethnic heritage. Other license plate taboos are politics, sexual orientation, religion and color.
The lawyer for Carol Ann Martin argued that the Department's policy exceeds state law, which says vanity plates can't be offensive or confusing. William Griffin, the lawyer for the state said allowing a license plate with the word "Irish," and not permitting plates with other ethnic terms would amount to selective enforcement.
At one point, Chief Justice Jeffrey Amestoy asked Griffin if the department would issue a license plate with the word "Blue," since the policy prohibits references to color. That led to this exchange between Griffin and Justices Amestoy and Morse.
(Griffin) "I think color in that context means a racial color. So I'm saying green would be fine, then if you get into black or white or yellow then I think..."
(Amestoy) "Either green or red could have political connotations. There's a Green Party, Red Party...
(Griffin) "Well, perhaps."
(Morse) "How about just the word Shamrock?"
(Griffin) "I think (laughs) this close to March 17, that would probably get by."
(Host) Last year, a lower court sided with the state in its refusal to allow the "Irish" vanity plate under Department of Motor Vehicles policy.

Green Day get Best Rock Album, Kings of Leon win Record of the Year, and Stephen Colbert collects Best Comedy Album.
More and more musicians are announced as winners at the January 31 ceremony of 2010 Grammy Awards. Green Day, who brought the cast of "American Idiot" for "21 Guns" performance earlier on the evening, grab Best Rock Album.
Katy Perry is accompanied by Alice Cooper when revealing that Billy Joe Armstrong-fronted band have beaten AC/DC, Dave Matthews Band, U2 as well as Eric Clapton and Eric Winwood. They get the coveted award for their latest studio installment "21st Century Breakdown".
Before the announcement of Best Rock Album winner, Norah Jones and Ringo Starr team up to read out recipient for Record of the Year. And the trophy goes to Kings of Leon for their "Use Somebody" track. On stage, one of the members said, "We're all a little drunk, but we're happy drunk." After a brief list of thank-yous, he says about buying a shot for anyone he forgot.
Another winner is Stephen Colbert who is handed Best Comedy Album for "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All". "This is a Christmas album, so obviously I should thank Jesus Christ for having such a great birthday," he said before then giving another shout out to his daughter who apparently is proud of her dad by nodding in approval.
Moreover, two lifetime achievement awards are given out at the evening. One is presented by Seal and goes to Leonard Cohen, while the other is handed to Loretta Lynn.

PTQ GateCrash Sofia *HJ Report*
When Ivan contacted me and told me that he needs a HJ for the PTQ i was quite glad. I wanted to start judging higher level tourneys in order to accumulate
knowledge experience. This is my first time being HJ at this kind of tournament. I was HJ for a number GPT in the local store or at the GP, but this was a little different.
He told me that they expect about 80 people.
PTQ Challenges
Challenge 1: There were 88 players registered and the location would accommodate up to 75. The organizing staff managed to squeeze in some more tables and the playing area was ok.
Challenge 2: This was a sealed RTR tournament, so the judges had to check all checklists in the first round. I assigned all 4 of the judges to do that and they finished in time.
Challenge 3: The new IPG and Policy changes for Competitive play. I announced at the beginning of the tournament to the players that these had changed and they need to know their responsibilities, and also the judges (at the judge meeting) of what they had to know. It was a joy to find out that we had no issues on this and everyone was ok with the new changes.
Challenge 4: Judge experience. I had a local L2 aiding me, and he was a great helper. He had vast knowledge on MTG rules, policy and tournament stuff. But the other 3 judges were newly L1, and i was a little unsure about them knowing all the requirements and expectations. There were few issues, but they got it going.
The tournament started a little late because of the TO's issues with the logistics, but the players understood that and the tournament went ok. We had few tables in time extensions and the general time was ok. We had a few rounds when we were able to catch up precious minutes, and even had time to have Lunch-break. Things turned out good. Also i had time to talk to each of the judge and note their progress and future development.
The player breakdown by country :
Bulgaria – 65
Greece – 12
Macedonia – 7
Romania – 4
This makes this tournament, the biggest in this area up to date, since Romania had only one PTQ of 60 players, and the previous In Bulgaria was at 70+ Players.
There few problematic rules questions, and the floor judges sorted them out pretty fast and clear. The language barrier was never a problem as all of the players knew English good enough to explain the game state, or to understand the ruling. Also the floor judges were all bulgarians and the could communicate with the majority of players easily.
One of the communications problems were when someone had a multicolored creature cast (i think a Rakdos ragemutt) and had a Lobber Crew on table. He cast the multicolored creature and wanted to tap the Lobber crew for one damage, but his opponent said that the ragemutt already resolved. This was clearly not the case, as the judge making the ruling observed that the opponent did not understand that the Lobber crew's second ability is a triggered one and goes on stack on top of the multicolored spell. The issue was sorted out fast, and the controller of Lobber Crew was allowed to tap the creature for damage then untap it when its second ability resolved.
For me, being a HJ, was a new kind of role and i tried to do my best. The new part came out when i am required to watch and delegate tasks to other judges, and see to have the tournament run smoothly. Other responsibilities include resolving appeals, and, in necessary, downgrade penalties or deviate from IPG. Also i have to write reviews for my staff :d
I probably go again in Sofia for judging as it is only a 5-hour drive from my home (<400km).
Another thing i wanted to point out is that, opposite of Romania, where the players trust their own local judges and have little trust for foreign judges, In Bulgaria i sensed that the local judges do not receive the respect they deserve when judging. This is probably because of the relations between the judges and players. I am a strong advocate for the respect of judges and i think that a judge must gain his respect by appearance, clarity of communication, confidence in rules enforcing and knowledge. He also must be a nice person to have a chat, and a clear mind of the roundabouts of the tournament he is judging.
I also want to thank Ivan Stefanov (TO, ScoreKeeper, L1), Georgi Benev (L2), Kamen Kamenov (L1), Vladislav Gankov (L1) and Ivan Markov (L1) for their part in this tournament.

Currently abuzz with arts and culture fans instead of shipbuilders, the mammoth complex features two galleries displaying impressive contemporary collections. Composed of over 40,000 square feet of space, L'Arsenal's main artery is a spectacular 22,000-square-foot hall which is now home to some of Montréal's most prestigious events such as Montréal Fashion Week and the Mois de la photo. With so much on offer, one should consider L'Arsenal as the latest place to visit religiously. Art Actuel 2-22 – A must-see downtown visual and media arts centre Reigning over the corner of Sainte-Catherine Street and Saint-Laurent Boulevard in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles is a unique glass-covered building that is the home of Art Actuel 2-22, a contemporary gallery uniting several organizations essential to the promotion and distribution of Québec art. Among the organizations that have taken up residence at 2-22 are: Artexte; VOX, centre de l'image contemporaine; and the Regroupement des centres d'artistes autogérés du Québec (RCAAQ). Visitors will also find Format – a specialized bookstore dedicated to contemporary art, and a space for research. An ecosystem of creativity and resources, 2-22 is a rich centre of discovery for all. Access is free. PHI Centre: A powerhouse centre for the arts in the Old Port Open since the first of June, PHI Centre is much more than an exhibit space as it also serves as a versatile venue for launches, conferences, performances, screenings and concerts. The four-story complex is housed in two historic buildings in Old Montréal and includes creation facilities and production studios, performance-art venues and -media labs – making PHI an inspiring one-stop centre for contemporary art. The creativity continues with an in-house restaurant with rooftop terrace offering an artistic menu that draws2-22 on local products.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
Hello Duyen,
I think I have narrowed the issue. When authenticating VPN Remote Access using RADIUS we need to keep in mind that the Authentication and Authorization are included on the same packet.
As per your configuration, the ACS is defined as a RADIUS server (aaa-server Gserver protocol radius) and the Tunnel Group for VPN is getting authenticated and "authorized" against that server:
authentication-server-group Gserver LOCAL
authorization-server-group Gserver
As stated above, the RADIUS request/response includes Authentication and Authorization on the same packet. This seems to be a misconfiguration issue as we should not be configuring the "authorization" under the Tunnel Group.
Please remove the authorization under the Tunnel Group:
no authorization-server-group Gserver
Please test the connection again and verify the ACS logs. At this point there should only be one sucessful log reported on the ACS side.
The "authorization-server-group" is meant for LDAP authorization when authenticating against an LDAP server as well in order to retrieve the authorization attributes from the server. RADIUS does not need the command as explained above.
Hope this helps.

The ability to form biofilms contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of many microbial infections, including a variety of ocular diseases often associated with the biofilm formation on foreign materials. Carvacrol (Car.) is an important component of essential oils and recently has attracted much attention pursuant to its ability to promote microbial biofilm disruption. In the present study Car. has been encapsulated in poly(
Biofilms are an organized community of bacterial cells embedded within a hydrated matrix of self-produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which preferentially develop at solid/liquid interfaces. The typical components of EPS, polysaccharides, proteins and DNA, provide structural stability and protection to the biofilm while the presence of water channels within the community structure, resembling a primitive circulatory system, ensures nutrients and waste products diffusion gradients [
The ability to form biofilms significantly alters important microbial properties: sessile cells show less susceptibility to antibiotics and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of antibiotics to biofilm-growing bacteria may be up to 10-fold higher compared with planktonic bacteria. Moreover, phagocytic host defense mechanism seems incapable of removing the biofilm cells protected by the EPS matrix [
A great contribution to the improvement of the therapies for biofilm-related diseases is expected with the application of nanotechnology to the pharmaceutical sciences. Owing to their tunable size, increased suspendability, surface tailorability that allows interactions with biological systems at the molecular level [
In the present work Car.-Nps were conveniently prepared in a good yield (80%) by the solvent displacement method. Owing to its lipophilic nature Car. was encapsulated with satisfying EE% and DL% (
The formulation was able to undergo the freeze-drying process yielding spherical Car.-Nps characterized by a relatively narrow size distribution and a mean hydrodynamic diameter (209.8 ± 7.2 nm,
The in vitro release profile of Car.-Nps was investigated in phosphate buffer solution, pH 7.4 containing 0.5% Tween 80 (PBST) and at 37 ± 0.5 °C. The total drug amount inside the nanocapsules was kept below 10% of the drug solubility limit in PBS in order to ensure sink conditions. The in vitro release behavior of Car.-Nps presented as the cumulative percentage release is shown in
Importantly, Car. is reported to exert its antimicrobial and biofilm-destabilization effects within the first 3 h after cell exposition [
Rheometry is a well-established technique for measuring properties of viscoelastic samples, and it has the advantage that shear stresses and strain acting on the sample are precisely monitored. The rheological properties measured are shown in
Samples were divided into biofilms not exposed to Car. (Bio), biofilms treated with Car. itself (Bio + Car.), and biofilms treated with Car.-Nps (Bio + Car.-Nps), and showed a linear viscoelastic range (LVR). The region was characterized by stress-strain linear proportionality and by constant values of the elastic (G′) and the viscous (G″) moduli, starting from 1.0 Pa up to 10.0 Pa and in the frequency range 0.1–10 Hz. Biofilms from 48 h growth in dynamic conditions (
Rheological measurements in the dynamic mode at a constant shear stress indicated a considerable elasticity and mechanical stability for the investigated biofilms and confirmed the gel-like behavior with the G′ dominating the G″ by one order of magnitude and exhibiting little frequency dependence over the range of angular frequencies tested. Biofilms exposed to Car. were still characterized by gel-like structure and behavior, but showed lower values of G′ and G″ with Car.-Nps significantly affecting the magnitude of both the moduli. These new mechanical properties of the biofilm treated with Car.-Nps reflect alterations in the architecture of the biofilm and correspond to a fluidification of the EPS matrix that could potentially enable or enhance the penetration of antimicrobial agents into the deep core of the biofilm, where the persister cells are located. These cells are characterized by an absent/reduced metabolism that makes them tolerant of the action of the majority of the antimicrobial agents [
Oscillation stress sweeps in the shear stress range of 1.0–400 Pa at the fixed frequency of 1.0 Hz were performed to identify the yield point (τy) of the biofilms. Although the procedure to identify the τy provides results influenced by the experimental condition used (operative frequencies influence the results), the τy values might provide a means to quantify the strength with which biofilms adhere to solid surfaces at the solid-liquid interfaces. All the tested biofilms showed high values of τy indicating a strong ability to adhere to the stainless steel surfaces. Car. treatment seems unable to induce a statistically significant reduction of the strength with which preformed biofilms adhere to the measuring plates. Car. effectiveness is probably more evident at the early stage of biofilm formation, when the adherence capacity of planktonic cells represents a major step in the sessile colony formation [
Biofilms produced in different laboratories are greatly heterogeneous [
Nanocapsules containing carvacrol were prepared using the solvent displacement process described by Fessi
The size, size distribution and Zeta potential of reconstituted nanocapsules-freeze-dried were measured using a Brookhaven (90PLUS BI-MAS) digital correlator equipped with a He-Ne (
Sample dispersions were dropped onto a copper grid pre-coated with carbon, and dried under reduced pressure prior to T.E.M. observation. Samples were then examined with a Morgagni Series 268D electron microscope (FEI Company, Brno, Czech Republic), equipped with Megaview III digital camera at an accelerating voltage of 100 kV.
The Car. loading was determined quantifying the drug extracted from the nanocapsules as reported elsewhere [
The dialysis bag diffusion technique was used to study the in vitro drug release of Car.-Nps [
The reference strain
The viscoelastic properties of bacterial biofilms were evaluated using a Haake M.A.R.S. II Thermo Scientific modular rheometer equipped with a cone and plate sensor system as reported previously [

The aim of this study was to design polymeric nanocapsules loaded with the poorly soluble antimicrobial agent carvacrol. Assembling the results presented, it can be concluded that carvacrol encapsulation into PLGA nanocapsules was accomplished with good drug loading and encapsulation efficiency. The obtained particles had a spherical shape with a hydrodynamic diameter of about 210 nm, which could enable their diffusion through mucus layers present on the surface of anatomical sites. Electron microscopy revealed that the nanocapsules were characterized by an oily core of carvacrol surrounded by a compact thin polymeric wall. Rheological tests revealed the ability of carvacrol loaded nanocapsules to alter the properties of preformed staphylococcal biofilms: treatment with carvacrol loaded nanocapsules produced a considerable reduction in the elasticity and mechanical stability of preformed biofilms that could enable the penetration of antimicrobial agents into the deep core of bacterial biofilms. In conclusion, these new nanodevices merit further investigation as the delivery system of antimicrobial agents due to the unique possibility of co-encapsulate, in addition to carvacrol, a further antibacterial agent. In fact, the oily core formed by carvacrol, would act as a drug reservoir of the additional antibacterial agent opportunely encapsulated during the formulation procedure.

When managing diverse employees, break the mold
Marcus Buckingham believes there are many managers who are doing things right these days. But unfortunately there are a lot headed down the wrong path.
Buckingham is the author of such best-selling books as "Now, Discover Your Strengths" and is a successful business guru who has been interviewed by media heavyweights such as Oprah Winfrey. But no matter who he is talking with, Buckingham contends that managers must change the ways they view the workplace today.
No longer can -- nor should -- employees be pushed into a mold that must conform to the company line, he says. Corporate universities that teach managers to walk in lockstep with one another are outdated, and such short-sighted strategies are not only damaging to a company's success, but research proves they don't get the best out of people, Buckingham says.
But managers who try to shake things up too much by always trying a new management idea also won't succeed, he says.
"In general, the best managers are the ones who are being transparent and authentic," he says. "They're not claiming to be perfect, because they know people can check online and find out anything about them they want. But they let people know they're a consistent presence and they're not going to be trying out the technique of the week. In these still uncertain times, these employees know they can count on this boss to be the same dude week after week."
What often goes wrong in workplaces today, he says, are those leaders who let employees get so distracted by issues they can't control that they lose focus of the most important thing: customers.
"If they do nothing else, they need to stay focused on the customer. It's the one thing you can control. Everything else will take care of itself," he says.
Buckingham has used extensive global research to show that companies can get the best out of employees by focusing on their strengths, instead of trying to correct perceived deficiencies and force them to perform tasks or do jobs that don't rely on their best abilities. These employees respond best to information delivered from others who are like them, he says.
Still, some managers fight the idea of focusing on individual strengths, and instead want to mold employees into roles they believe they should fill.
"Focusing on strengths really isn't a new theory. You go back to the Bible and you see it in the parable of the talents, for crying out loud. People are enduringly unique," he says.
Buckingham notes that it's often younger workers who most readily embrace the idea of focusing on strengths and unique talents.
Through social media and the Internet, young workers are exposed to diverse people around the world, and "they see how different people are," Buckingham says. "They're never going to believe that they're going to grow up and be just like other people."
While older workers and managers may see the younger generation as self absorbed, Buckingham says that the Generation Y believe they are "something special" and should not be "crushed."
"Buy that. Take what's unique and honor that and make it useful," he says. "They're impatient to show you what they know, so let them use their strengths to show you how they're distinct. They're not dismissive of other people, but take a more pragmatic approach of 'how can I best use that person -- and how can that person use me?'"
While managers may be daunted by trying to handle so many workers who want to be developed as individuals, Buckingham says it's not a difficult task with available technology. Just as web sites, such as Netflix and Facebook, deliver unique content to users based on their preferences, the same can be done for today's workers, he says.
For example, since most workers have a smartphone or tablet with them all the time that will deliver information, "you can pump content to them in the real world in real time."
That means instead of requiring employees to take time away from their busy days to attend training that may or may not be currently of use to them, technology can deliver information and answers to them on the job when they need it, he says.
"Today we really need to reach people in an individualized way," Buckingham says. "We can now customize what we teach people in a way that helps them now."

The complexities of the Syrian War remain mystifying for most Americans, despite years of bloodshed and ink spilled. The country is a hodgepodge of ethno-religious communities, and always has been. Various competing groups are fighting passionately for different causes, along battle lines that often overlap. Meanwhile, refugees are fleeing in great numbers to neighboring countries.
We've put together some maps to illustrate all this (click to enlarge):
We hope these help untangle some of the intricacies that so often get glossed over in coverage of the war.

Big debt portends recession
The "fiscal cliff" is no accident. Created by Congress, it reflects a near total inability of politicians to curb the ever-increasing size of government and the massive burden it places on the economy.
Already, a sputtering economy is invoking great economic uncertainty around the world. As a result, corporations are curbing spending plans or cutting employees, thereby fanning the flames of a recession that likely will cause widespread poverty and more intrusive government.
On the surface, households appear to have reduced their debt significantly. Feeling more secure financially, frustrated by personal spending curbs, believing official statistics and tempted by heavily discounted prices, consumers are starting to spend this holiday season. Attracted by historically low interest rates, some shoppers are even borrowing again.
In many parts of America, house values have turned upwards as buyers sink money into what they see as "real" assets despite official inflation of just 2.2 percent. Also, sales of consumables and automobiles are rising. Despite the perilous state of the economy, consumers are throwing caution to the wind, determined to enjoy the holiday season after a sustained period of retrenchment. GDP, a measure of economic output, rose by 2.7 percent last month.
Business executives, on the other hand, appear more cautious. In October, The Institute for Supply Management Factory Index, which measures business activity, fell to 49.5 percent, indicating contraction.
In addition, Census Bureau figures showed the growth rate of new orders of durable goods fell to 2.7 percent in October from an annualized rate of 4.07 percent, evidencing a serious decline in business confidence. Although nowhere near the lows of 2009, the direction is concerning and suggests the nation is approaching recession.
All this is despite massive injections of synthetic cash and historically low interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
The U.S. is the world's largest consumer market. Should it falter, it could well unleash recession in the vulnerable economies of its major trading partners. The world's largest economy, the European Union, is already heading for deep recession. Japan's economy is flat and China's economy looks increasingly fragile.
As if uncertainty was not cause enough for alarm, the U.S. government has engaged in a much publicized display of irresponsibility, further eroding economic confidence.
Taxation threats have stimulated over 100 companies to pay 'special' dividends this year. Rather than invest in plants and jobs they have chosen and even borrowed to reward shareholders, anticipating increased taxation that encourages massive selling of securities, housing and precious metals.
Unable to agree on urgent cuts in overly intrusive and costly government, Congress postponed a decision by creating the pending fiscal cliff. Now, Congress appears paralyzed on that economic cliff while ignoring completely talk of any cuts in big government.
Clearly, the fiscal cliff protects big government — and it is big government that is the economy's greatest threat.

Today's video is from Toronto hardcore punk group Fucked Up. The track, from their latest album David Comes to Life, is pretty sweet and I particularily love how this video was shot, featuring a mysterious love triangle. And lots of walking.
Formed in 2001, David Comes to Life is only the group's third full-length album although they have released countless 12″s, singles, EPs, demos, splits and so forth throughout their career making for an extensive catalogue for the die-hard fan. This extraordinary work-ethic was finally recognized when the band received the 2009 Polaris Music Price here in Canada for the Chemistry of Common Life.
