Impressive list of things to do with good weather, friends and family
The abundance of activities in the Jupiter area is impressive.

Is filing an application for a copyright sufficient basis for filing a copyright infringement lawsuit? The answer depends on where the copyright applicant files the case. Some federal courts, including the Ninth and Seventh Circuit Courts of Appeals, hold that filing an application is sufficient to provide the basis for a copyright infringement claim. Other federal courts, including district courts in the Third and Fourth Circuit Courts of Appeals, hold that an application for copyright registration is not sufficient; rather the applicant needs a completed copyright registration to sue for infringement of the applicant's copyright. A prospective claimant without a completed registration will first want to determine which rule the court follows in the court in which the claimant intends to file the lawsuit and may decide to sue in another court provided that court has jurisdiction over the defendant.
In a recent order issued in Panaoramic Stock Images, Ltd. v. McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., a case pending in the Northern District of Illinois, the judge determined that the Seventh Circuit follows the so-called application rule. Panoramic provides photographs to publishers under license. McGraw-Hill licensed numerous photographs from Panoramic under licenses that permitted limited use of the photographs. Panoramic sued McGraw-Hill for infringement, claiming that McGraw-Hill had exceeded the scope of its licenses by publishing the photographs in additonal publications outside the license. One of McGraw-Hill's defenses was that since Panoramic merely had applications pending for copyright on some of the photographs it could not sue for infringement, basing its defense in the language of 17 U.S.C. §411(a), which provides in relevant part:
411 . Registration and civil infringement actions
(a) Except for an action brought for a violation of the rights of the author under section 106A(a), and subject to the provisions of subsection (b), no civil action for infringement of the copyright in any United States work shall be instituted until preregistration or registration of the copyright claim has been made in accordance with this title.
The Panoramic court began by discussing the split in the way courts handle the question, explaining that courts that adopt the registration approach base their decision in the plain language of the statute. The courts that adopt the application approach deal with the statutory language by determining it is ambiguous and that the application approach "better carries out the purpose of the statute by providing broad copyright protection without undue delay."
The Panoramic court then discussed the apparent split in the district courts within the Seventh Circuit, but concluded that the Seventh Circuit has adopted the application approach, citing Chicago Bd. of Educ. v. Substance Inc. 354 F.ed, 624, 631 (7th Cir. 2003), which in turn cites 2 Melville B. Nimmer & David Nimmer, Nimmer on Copyright § 7.16[B][1][a] (2003).
Panoramic illustrates the analysis that a copyright applicant must make before filing an infringement action. Counsel should be careful to determine which approach is followed in the court in which the copyright applicant wants to file an infringement action to ensure success.
Another caveat: given the split between the Circuit Courts, the Supreme Court may ultimately resolve the issue. We will keep you informed.

What is the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee (ITC)?
The Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) is mandated under Section 4 of
TSCA and has representatives from the following U.S. Government agencies:
Environmental Protection Agency
Consumer Product Safety Commission
Food and Drug Administration
Department of Commerce
Department of the Interior
Department of Defense
National Cancer Institute
National Science Foundation
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Council on Environmental Quality
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
National Library of Medicine
Department of Agriculture
In recent years, the ITC has coordinated extensively with EPA and other
Federal Agencies in identifying their specific testing and data needs. For
example, in recent ITC reports, approximately 80 chemicals were designated
for dermal absorption rate testing to support a data need of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Chemicals that are formally designated
by ITC to EPA to develop testing actions are immediately added to OPPT's
MTL and can be added to automatically effective TSCA Section 8(a)
and 8(d) rules to gather data to support
development of that testing action. Chemicals that are recommended by the
ITC for testing are not immediately added to OPPT's MTL
but are ususally made subject to automatically effective Section 8(a)/8(d)
rules to gather data to support an ITC decision to formally designate a
chemical to EPA for testing action development.
The statute specifies that EPA should give priority consideration to chemical that the ITC places on its TSCA Section 4(e) "Priority Testing List" and initiate a "proceeding" within 12 months. The significant time and resource burden on EPA to develop formal test rules under Section 4 of TSCA has not allowed this to occur except in rare instances. Two major lawsuits have provided guidance in this area but have not lessened EPA's burden to any great extent. As a result, EPA has developed and currently utilizes other types of testing action "tools" in order to obtain needed test data.

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.
Also known as heel spur syndrome, the condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.

The recent release of the Nexus 5 marked an important landmark in Android phoneography. The physical camera hardware in Google's latest flagship phone is not a great improvement on the Nexus' predecessor, but the overall photographic quality of the new handset, particularly after the 4.4.1 software update, shows that Google is taking mobile photography seriously. At last.
Developers are playing their part, too. Both Android-specific apps, such as Vignette, and iOS imports, such as PicLab, provide good quality, classy editing options on an OS that only had Instagram to play with, not so long ago.
But now, things have gone up another level. VSCO Cam, the self-proclaimed "standard of mobile photography" has exited private beta, and it is now ready to bring its comprehensive adjustments and subtle retro cool to our side of the mobile divide. But can this legend of iPhoneography successfully make the transition to Android?
Modern calendar apps have two serious problems: they're ugly, and they're hard to use. I like Google Calendar as much as the next guy, but I'm always on the lookout for an experience that could be better — and by all accounts, I think Google Calendar could be better than it is. But there aren't a lot of popular alternatives on the Play Store, and even fewer that people say you *have* to try out before making a decision.
That's what makes Cal by Any.do interesting. It marries a well-designed calendar with the simplicity of Any.do, and it does it with aplomb. Although it's been available for iPhone for a long time, Cal finally saw its release on Android recently with a few new features of its own — some of which are Android-exclusive, for now. Let's dig in and find out whether or not this ecosystem is worth getting into.
I am an Android customization addict and, to be honest, even the word "addict" is an understatement. Two months ago, I would have told you that there should be AA meetings for the kind of compulsion that I had. I kept hundreds of folders of iconsets ready in my Dropbox account, I mastered the dark corners of UCCW and Minimalistic Text, I spent hours every week on MyColorScreen, and even maintained a Google+ photo album as a visual history of the different homescreen designs I have made since 2010.
But most importantly, I installed Nova Launcher on any Android device I had in my hands for more than an hour, and enjoyed tinkering with every single setting the app allowed from gestures to grid layouts and more. Then I got an invite code to join the Aviate Launcher Beta, installed it on my LG G2 and … well, life wasn't the same anymore. I haven't had the impulse to switch back from Aviate to Nova in more than six weeks, I haven't felt the need to change my icons either, and given my history with Android customization, this is the geeky version of a personal miracle.
In the following post, I'll explain how Aviate won me over from Nova — and Apex, ADW and all their brethren — and why it squashed my urge to tinker with my homescreens every couple of days.
Most to-do and reminder apps are all about making lists of tasks that you need to complete, and reminding you to tackle them at specified times. Unfortunately, real life doesn't always follow a schedule, and we often find ourselves skipping or putting off tasks because we couldn't find the time to do them when we planned to — leaving with a longer to-do list for the next day. Will we ever be able to conquer these all-powerful lists?
The developers at New Delhi, India-based Signals, believe they may be onto some sort of a solution: Instead of adapting your day to the way your time management app is set up, why not have the app adapt to your life? Their new app Shifu does this by reminding you of tasks when you have the time to complete them and are at the right location. From chores to returning calls to wishing friends on their birthday, Shifu can actually help you get stuff done regardless of your ever-changing schedule. I spoke with Prashant Singh, co-founder of Signals, to understand how Shifu works and to see if I could actually get more done with their novel take on to-dos.
If role-playing games in the spirit of the Super Nintendo-era entries to the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Phantasy Star series are your thing, Kemco should be planted firmly in your radar. The Japanese developer has now released more than 20 RPGs on Android, at varying degrees of old-school.
I decided to finally take the plunge with their latest, Fortuna Magus, which seems to be more of a throwback than other recent releases. It's a fun and well-conceived adventure, with an engaging battle system and an unconventional story of three children heading out in search of their father a decade after he vanished, but a solid set-up is let down by poor writing and pacing issues.
The personalization of news is a nice idea. It should strip out unrequired stories, leaving behind only those pieces of writing that excite, educate or entertain — AppStorm posts, for instance.
But in my experience, most tailored news apps tend to be a bit…meh. They certainly filter, but rarely with the desired result. Some try to sort stories by keyword — always an inaccurate, spam-ridden approach — while others simply provide broad brushstroke subjects, gathering plenty of content you would otherwise avoid.
So, I'm interested to see how Material, an app which claims to deliver news that is tailored to each user, copes with this challenge. The product of an accomplished developer (Inq), Material has recently been updated with a sleek new design and a batch of new features; critically, though, can it deliver a great mix of content?
Although I'd definitely take a paperback over my tablet as my medium of choice to read a novel, one can't argue the convenience of a single device that can carry all the books you'd ever want to read. That's why I've been steadily growing my ebook collection — being able to carry every tome I intend to digest this year in a jacket pocket, just makes sense. The ebook game is now in a hot innings, with new heavy hitters like Google Play and even India's Flipkart taking to the field. So I thought it'd be interesting to see what Kobo had up its sleeve.
Known for manufacturing affordable dedicated ebook readers, and for going up against the likes of Amazon's Kindle and Barnes' and Nobles' Nook devices, Kobo has now made its debut in the Play Store with a bookstore-and-reader combo app that promises to deliver a comprehensive reading experience on your smartphone or tablet. With a wide range of titles, cross-device content and bookmark sync, and a clean flat interface, Kobo sure looks like it's up to bat — but can it score a home run? I spent a couple of weeks with the app to find out.
While the first few years of the tablet's life as a new consumer product category were rife with various screen sizes as the market was still being established and our demands and habits weren't as well understood and stable as they are now, manufacturers have currently gravitated toward two different sizes or segments of tablets: the 7″-7.9″ small and compact one, and the 9″-10″ bigger and more couch-oriented one.
That left the whole 8″ bracket of the spectrum almost untapped, which is exactly where LG decided to focus their first tangible effort at the tablet market. At 8.3″, the G Pad sits comfortably in the middle between the two segments, but does that make it an ideal one-size-fits-all tablet or a neither-this-nor-that tablet? I've had the G Pad for review for a few days, and I tried to answer that question.
Books are amazing. They can thrill, sadden, educate, inspire and amuse with only the words they hold. For bookworms like me, the introduction of e-reading only further broadened the opportunities to be captivated by prose, particularly given the considerable selection of public domain titles which are freely available to download.
There are quite a few apps which provide access to these ebooks, as well as offering the option to sync your reading progress between multiple devices — Kobo and Amazon's Kindle being the most prominent examples to be found in the Play Store. Over on iOS, though, another e-reading app has been making all the waves.
It goes by the name of Readmill, and it has already gained a cult following. Now, it has landed on Android – but does it have enough to push aside more familiar Play Store offerings?

Built in 1971, by Halter Marine Services of New Orleans, Louisiana (hull #314) as the Mister Harold for the Jackson Marine Corporation of Houston, Texas.
Jackson Marine was owned by the Halliburton Corporation of Houston, Texas. The company owned a total of ninety vessels. Consisting mainly of offshore tugs, and supply vessels. With some chemical transport and some well stimulation vessels.
Jackson Marine Corporation later merged with Zapata Gulf Marine of Houston, Texas and Gulf Fleet of Houston, Texas. The company became the largest shipping company in the world with a total of four hundred fifteen vessels. Tidewater Incorporated of New Orleans, Louisiana at that time had about two hundred seventy five vessels.
In the fall of 1986, Seahorse Marine of Lockport, Louisiana merged into Zapata Gulf Marine adding an additional ninety vessels to the fleet.
Seahorse Marine had been founded by the Arthur Levey family as Arthur Levey Boat Company after World War II. The company was later acquired by Petrolane Natural Gas of Belding, Mississippi. Where the company was renamed Seahorse Marine. In 1985, Petrolane was acquired by Texas Eastern of Houston, Texas. Which was a larger natural gas company. However, in the fall of 1986, Texas Eastern traded the company to Zapata Gulf Marine for an exchange of stock.
On January 15th, of 1992. Zapata Gulf merged with Tidewater Marine of New Orleans, Louisiana. Where the tug retained her name. However in 2002, the tug was renamed as the Harold.
