RIM and Nokia have entered a new patent license agreement that will settle all existing patent lawsuits between the two
Nokia and Research In Motion (RIM) have finally resolved their
patent license issues
by way of RIM's wallet.
RIM and Nokia have entered a new patent license agreement that will settle all existing patent lawsuits between the two in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. The agreement requires RIM to pay Nokia a one-time payment as well as ongoing payments. The amount of the one-time and ongoing payments is unclear.
"We are very pleased to have resolved our patent licensing issues with RIM and reached this new agreement, while maintaining Nokia's ability to protect our unique product differentiation," said Paul Melin, chief intellectual property officer at Nokia. "This agreement demonstrates Nokia's industry leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market."
Back in 2003, RIM and Nokia entered a licensing agreement that allowed both companies to use some of each other's standard-essential patents. However, in 2011, RIM requested that Nokia's WLAN patents be part of the original deal in Sweden.
During arbitration, Nokia said that RIM's use of the WLAN technology in products would violate its patents unless RIM agreed to pay royalties. RIM then admitted that it used WLAN in its products, saying that it thought the patents were part of the original deal.
Last month, an arbitrator in Sweden
ruled in favor of Nokia
Analysts expected RIM to come to a licensing agreement with Nokia soon, since the BlackBerry maker would be unable to ship its new BlackBerry devices with the
new BB10 software
in January 2013.
RIM recently announced
better-than-expected Q3 financial results
and 7 percent boost in shares, although it took its first hit to its subscriber base as Apple and Google-powered smartphones steal its market share.
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

The U.S. financial sector 2012 has a lot in common with the 1840s California gold rush: There's so much opportunity, but so many terrifying risks as well. Financial stocks have been showing significant volatility for the last several years, posting big gains during market rallies but struggling mightily when uncertainty and anxiety spike. While volatility gives many investors heartburn, it undeniably creates big opportunities for those skillful enough to anticipate swings in market sentiment. Today I'm diving into a financial ETF that doesn't have nearly the assets or trading volume of a fund like Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF), but can be a pretty useful tool for beefing up exposure to a narrow segment of the U.S. financial industry.
There are a couple of investment theses bundled into iShares Dow Jones U.S. Broker-Dealers Index Fund (IAI), each of which may have its own unique appeal. First is the exposure to stock exchanges, a corner of the financial market that has seen expanding margins in recent years amid significantly higher trading activity and the increasingly complex, rising number of products available to investors. With substantial allocations to stocks such as the CME Group (CME), at 6.5% of holdings; IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) at 5%; and NYSE Euronext (NYX) at 5%, IAI offers a way to overweight this segment of the financial sector.
But stock exchanges aren't the only types of companies found in IAI. The ETF also holds a number of well-known asset-management firms. Among the biggest holdings in this fund are companies like Ameriprise (AMP), Charles Schwab (SCHW), Morgan Stanley (MS) and Raymond James (RJF). Those firms manage billions of dollars each, accounting for a significant portion of the domestic money-management business.
That makes IAI a very risky trade -- but it's one that can pay off big time when markets are rising. Think of this ETF as a leveraged play on the U.S. economy. It could struggle mightily when stocks fall, but should deliver some big gains in bull markets. That's a result of the revenue model for many of the component securities, which generally earn a percentage of the money held in the portfolios they manage. So when prices are climbing and investors are happy, so too are asset managers -- their 1% fee is being applied against a much larger base of assets.
There is, of course, a flip side to that coin: When stock prices are tumbling, so too do the values of client portfolios. That translates into smaller management fees and thinner margins. IAI truly is an ETF to invest in the business of investing.
IAI has a beta of nearly 1.6, indicating that it exhibits significantly higher volatility than that of the broader equity market. For all the reasons I outlined above, that shouldn't be a surprise at all. It also sheds some light on how investors might want to use a fund such as IAI. I'm not sure this ETF deserves a place in many long-term, buy-and-hold portfolios. The component stocks are generally included in broad-based equity funds, and the volatility might be to the detriment of standard investment objectives. But, for those looking to dial up risk in anticipation of a run higher (or in response to an overdone selloff), IAI might be a very useful tool indeed.

Pirelli World Challenge Kicks Off 25th Anniversary Season In St. Petersburg
Posted by: newsla on Mar 27, 2014 - 07:01 AM
Pirelli World Challenge Kicks Off 25th Anniversary Season In St. Petersburg
The streets of St. Petersburg, Fla. will see the next chapters written in the now-25-year history of the Pirelli World Challenge Championships. The series' 25th Anniversary season kicks off with Rounds 1 and 2 and the Cadillac Grand Prix of St. Petersburg brought to you by StopTech Brakes. The 1.8-mile street circuit will feature action for the GT/GT-A/GTS categories of competition. A host of familiar names are joined by a wealth of promising newcomers, either in the form of new drivers, teams, manufacturers or cars. The full integration of FIA GT3-spec cars has provided a plethora of new manufacturer interest in GT for the 2014 Pirelli World Challenge season.
Additionally, the GT-A subcategory makes its first appearance. New for 2014, the GT-A division is open to gentlemen drivers in GT-spec cars, with the driver scoring the most points at year's end winning both the Sportsman's Cup and a new B.R.M Chronograph. The twisting, tight confines of St. Petersburg have lent themselves to fascinating races in the past, and this year's pair of events should be no different. Both the GT and GTS class champions of 2013 are in the field, and begin their title defense this weekend.
Pirelli World Challenge GT: O'Connell, Sofronas Lead a Deep Field
Johnny O'Connell repeated as Pirelli World Challenge GT champion after a dramatic comeback victory in the 2013 season finale at Reliant Park in Houston. He'll begin the quest for the three-peat at a track where he's only won once previously in series competition (2012). O'Connell, of Flowery Branch, Ga., returns once more in the No. 3 Cadillac Racing Cadillac CTS-V.R.
Teammate Andy Pilgrim, of Boca Raton, Fla., in the No. 8 Cadillac Racing Cadillac CTS-V.R, hasn't left many boxes unchecked over the course of his Pirelli World Challenge career, but he hasn't won in 11 prior starts at this circuit. He won at Sonoma in 2013 and looks for his first win of the year this weekend.
The two drivers that did win the St. Petersburg 2013 races are back for 2014, looking for an encore performance. Alex Figge, of Denver, won the opening Round 1 with James Sofronas, of Villa Park, Calif., taking the first Pirelli World Challenge win for the Audi R8 platform in Round 2.
Figge's K-PAX Racing team shifts from the tried-and-true Volvo S60s to the new McLaren 12C GT3s for 2014. He'll be in the No. 9 entry, as he was in 2013, and will be joined by a new teammate. Robert Thorne, of Littleton, Col., will make his first GT class start in the No. 6 K-PAX Racing McLaren 12C GT3. Thorne, 23, won in his first series race in a K-PAX Volvo C30 in the Touring Car class at Sonoma, 2012. He didn't race in the series in 2013 and has an excellent opportunity to shine in his first full season.
Sofronas will drive the No. 14 GMG Racing Audi R8 Ultra. Sofronas' win at St. Petersburg was one of three he achieved in 2013. He came up just shy of the 2013 GT championship to O'Connell, but looks to go one better in 2014.
Mike Skeen, of Charlotte, N.C., will lead CRP Racing's effort in the No. 2 Hawk Performance Nissan GT-R. Skeen finished sixth in the 2013 GT Drivers' Championship with a win at Lime Rock, driving the team's Chevrolet Corvette.
Another big name returning to St. Petersburg is Tomas Enge, who raced in the 2005 IndyCar Series event at St. Petersburg and has a litany of Formula One and sports car experience. Enge, of Liberec, Czech Republic, will make his series debut in the No. 25 Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo FL2.
EFFORT Racing also makes its series debut, and like Reiter and GMG will have cars entered in both GT and GT-A. Tim Bergmeister, of Langenfeld, Germany, will anchor the program in the No. 31 EFFORT Racing Porsche GT3R.
Ferrari has a pair of cars entered in the GT class, from two different teams. Former Formula Atlantic champion and sports car veteran Anthony Lazzaro, of Atlanta, will drive the No. 61 Remo Ferri Group - Ferrari of Ontario/Ferrari of Alberta/Maranello Autobody Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 for R. Ferri Motorsports.
Meanwhile Mike Hedlund of Woodside, Calif. has made several series starts in the past with GMG, but will compete in his first full season of competition in the No. 64 DragonSpeed/ESM Ferrari 458 Italia GT3.
Turner Motorsport rounds out the class with a late but quality add to the field. Dane Cameron of Atlanta, Ga. will race in the No. 94 Turner Motorsport BMW Z4 GT3, as Will Turner's team makes its return to the Pirelli World Challenge Championships.
Pirelli World Challenge GT-A: Stacked deck of 12 for class debut
The new GT-A classification is designed to increase turnout of GT3-spec cars driven by gentlemen drivers. These are drivers who do not make their living from racing cars, but as sportsmen, love the sport and have a passion for driving. Half of the 12 drivers entered have past Pirelli World Challenge experience.
One of GT-A's leading contenders will be Tim Pappas, of Boston, Ma., in the No. 54 Black Swan Racing Black River Caviar Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3. Pappas competed in nine series races in 2013, and finished eighth in the GT Drivers' Championship with a best finish of fifth in Detroit.
Sofronas' GMG team has three cars entered in GT-A. Bill Ziegler, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., stepped up to GT midway through 2013, and GT-A will be a great fit for the driver of the No. 95 Swisher Racing/GMG Audi R8 Ultra. Bret Curtis, of Austin, Texas, will be in the No. 32 GMG Racing Audi R8 Ultra. He made five 2013 starts, with a best result of fifth in Long Beach. Rookie Andrew Palmer, of Chicago, will make his series debut in the No. 21 GMG Racing Audi R8 Ultra.
Series veteran Jeff Courtney will add another Audi to the GT mix. Courtney, of Milwaukee, Wis., will drive the No. 99 Kenda/RecStuff.com JCR Motorsports Audi R8 Ultra. Courtney has five top-10 finishes in seven prior St. Petersburg starts.
DragonSpeed and R. Ferri, which both have GT class programs, also have a Ferrari apiece entered in GT-A. Henrik Hedman, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. but originally of Sweden, will be in the No. 10 DragonSpeed Ferrari 458 Italia GT3. Nick Mancuso, of Chicago, will drive R. Ferri's No. 16 Ferrari Lake Forest Ferrari 458 Italia GT3.
Two Lamborghinis, two Porsches and an SRT Viper apiece round out the class, with three series newcomers. Albert von Thurn und Taxis, of Regensburg, Germany, will drive the No. 24 Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo FL2, with Marcelo Hahn of Sao Paulo, Brazil in the No. 0 Reiter Engineering Lamborghini Gallardo FL2. Porsche veteran Michael Mills, of Angleton, Texas, is entered in the No. 41 EFFORT Racing Porsche GT3R while Jim Taggart, of Cary, N.C. jumps up from GTS to GT-A in the No. 7 Taggart Autosport/Smartcharms.com/Corbeau Seats/Local Motors Porsche GT3R. Lastly Dan Knox, of Pilot Point, Texas, will be in the No. 80 ACS Manufacturing, Inc./Performance SpeedTech SRT Viper GT3-R for Lone Star Racing.
Pirelli World Challenge GTS: Top three from 2013 lead 28-car field
With more than half the entries of the St. Petersburg total, the Pirelli World Challenge GTS class of 27 cars could be anyone's game this weekend. But the top three drivers from 2013 all return, and may have an early edge on the rest of the field.
Defending series and three-time Pirelli World Challenge champion Lawson Aschenbach, of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. makes the switch to the number 1 aboard his Blackdog Speed Shop Chevrolet Camaro. Aschenbach is a past St. Petersburg race winner and looks to improve on his 2013 finishes of fifth and second.
Jack Baldwin, of Marietta, Ga., narrowly lost out on last year's GTS championship. But he won both St. Petersburg races in 2013 and seeks an encore in the No. 73 RESET-MD/StopTech/Motul Porsche Cayman S for GTSport Racing with Goldcrest.
Mark Wilkins, of Toronto, won twice in 2013 including on the streets of Detroit. His No. 38 Kia Motors America Kia Optima should be among the contenders this weekend, as well.
All three have the same veteran teammates as they did in 2013. Wilkins' teammate at Kia Racing/Kinetic Motorsports, Nic Jonsson, had more pace than luck throughout 2013. The Swede, now of Buford, Ga., will drive the team's No. 36 Kia Motors America Kia Optima.
Tony Gaples, of Libertyville, Ill., returns in the No. 11 Blackdog Speed Shop Chevrolet Camaro and Buz McCall, of Boca Raton, Fla., will drive the No. 72 RESET-MD/StopTech/Motul Porsche Cayman S for GTSport Racing with Goldcrest.
With Peter Cunningham moving up to GT, longtime teammate Nick Esayian has a new opportunity for 2014. Esayian, of San Diego, Calif., shifts to TRG-AMR North America for 2014 in the No. 34 Natural Cures TRG-AMR North America Aston Martin Vantage GT4. The series veteran will lead that team's three-car lineup, alongside teammates Drew Regitz, of Denver, in the No. 02 and Jorge de la Torre, of McAllen, Texas, in the No. 04.
Young guns Andy Lee and Alec Udell lead the rest of the big "American muscle" contingent. Lee, of Colorado Springs, Col., won only once in 2013 despite leading 72 laps in the No. 20 Best IT/Bondurant/Crown7.com Chevrolet Camaro. Lee will be joined at Best IT Racing in 2014 by rookie Geoff Reeves, of Cleveland, Ohio, in the No. 40 Best IT/Bondurant School Chevrolet Camaro.
Meanwhile Udell, 18, finished sixth in the 2013 standings and could lead Ford's contingent early on for Motorsports Development Group. Udell drives the No. 17 Watson Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302S for MDG.
An iconic racing name joins Pirelli World Challenge in 2014, as ROUSH Road Racing enters the series with Jack Roush Jr. of Livonia, Mich., driving the No. 60 ROUSH Road Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302R. Roush and Ford are synonymous, and Jack Jr. will be one to watch in 2014, starting in St. Petersburg.
The rest of the Ford contingent is deep. It includes veterans Brad Adams, of New Orleans, La., in the No. 96 Voodoo/DatDog/Yo MTV Raps! Ford Mustang Boss 302S and Mitch Landry in the No. 97 VersaCrane/DeepSouth Ford Mustang Boss 302S, both of Capaldi Racing. Tony Buffomante, of Naperville, Ill., makes a welcome return to the series as their teammate in the No. 33 Capaldi Racing/Ford Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302S.
Detroit Round 7 winner Dean Martin, of Westland, Mich., is in the No. 50 Picture Cars East/Rehagen Racing Ford Mustang Boss 302.
Always Evolving Racing returns with two Ford Mustang Boss 302S's, in the form of Erik Davis, of Burbank, Calif. in the No. 75 Always Evolving Racing/Autotopia, LLC Ford Mustang Boss 302S and David Sterckx, of Brussels, Belgium, in the No. 52 Always Evolving Racing/Autotopia, LLC Ford Mustang Boss 302S, a Rally America champion. The team continues in tribute to the late Roger Rodas, who passed away at the end of 2013.
There are also two series newcomers, in Will Hunholz of Seattle, Wash. in the No. 18 Speedtrixx Ford Mustang Boss 302S and Chris Outzen, of Sudbury, Mass., in the No. 87 iTrackZone/DWW Motorsports Ford Mustang.
But Chevrolet also has strength in numbers this year too, beyond Blackdog and Best IT. Breathless Performance steps up to GTS, with 16-year-old phenom Ernie Francis Jr., of Davie, Fla., in the team's No. 98 Breathless Performance Chevrolet Camaro. Francis Jr. won a Touring Car B-Spec class-high seven races in 2013, and finished third as series rookie-of-the-year.
Fernando Seferlis, of Miami Lakes, Fla., also steps up from TCB in the No. 29 Compulab-Panama Chevrolet Camaro. Breathless has a third car entered for GTS veteran Mark Klenin, of Lonetree, Col., in the No. 62 Premiere Copier/SCHOMP Aston Martin Vantage GT4.
The variety of cars in GTS also includes entries from Scion, Nissan and Audi. Former Touring Car class champion Robert Stout, of Brownsburg, Ind., has now had a full offseason's worth of development on the No. 86 Scion/Lucas Oil/TRD Scion FR-S.
Nissan has a pair of 370Zs in action this year. Ric Bushey, of Virginia Beach, Va., will be back in the No. 51 Nissan/Motul/SPL/OSGiken/Sparco/Sunoco Nissan 370Z, after posting a best result of seventh at Sonoma in 2013. Brian Kleeman, of Baltimore, Md., makes it two Nissans with the No. 07 Nissan/DXD Clutches/Aeromotions Nissan 370Z on track for Monsoon Motorsports. Lastly series veteran Don Istook, of River Oaks, Texas, will race in the No. 01 Forge Motorsports/Recaro Audi TT RS for RS Werkes Racing.

Geoffrey Stone Discusses the Value of Legal Education
Learning to Think Like a Lawyer
There is nothing inevitable about the three-year program of legal study, any more than there is about the four-year presidency or the seven-game World Series. These are artificial constructs, but with time and experience we can decide whether they work well.
Does the three-year program of legal education work well? This depends entirely on what legal educators do with the three years. If legal educators are lazy, uninspired or indifferent to their responsibility to educate, three years is certainly too long. But if they are thoughtful, focused and creative, three years may not be long enough.
The critical question is what law schools can do to educate future lawyers that legal practice cannot do. There are several experiences legal education can offer that are invaluable for future lawyers.

I love you in the morning and at the setting of the sun
And in the hours of darkness before the day's begun
And in my waking solitude to greet the break of dawn
I grant you sleep that extra hour, although you sleep alone.
I love you in the evening and into the night,
I love you and I need you even when we fight.
If loving you were solid gold
I'd be a millionaire, but love is gold enough for me
and money my despair. I wish your life be full of joy,
Of triumphs and acclaim, and when the tumult quietens down
I'll be here just the same – a kettle on the boil, a fire in the hearth
And warmth throughout our humble home
and loving in my heart.

LONDON (Aug. 27)
Israel Miller, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organization, is flying to Rumania today as guest of the Rumanian government. During a stopover in London he told the JTA that the Rumanian invitation was extended to him by their charge d'affaires in Israel during the recent Jewish Agency Assembly in Jerusalem. He is interested in looking into the question of aliya facilities there.
Rabbi Miller said he met President Nicolae Ceausescu during the latter's visit to the U.S., and had been in contact with the Rumanian Ambassador in Washington, particularly after the U.S. Jewish community protested restrictions on Jewish emigration during U.S. Congressional hearings on the Rumanian request for the most-favored-nation trade pact, Rabbi Miller noted that during January to May only 400 Rumanian Jews left for Israel. To the best of this knowledge at least 30,000 out of an estimated 80,000 Jews wished to leave for Israel.
Rabbi Miller said: "I feel justified in our protest for now larger numbers have been allowed to emigrate." He stated that the Rumanian experience had demonstrated that the Jackson Amendment does work. He noted that the U.S. Administration's argument, at the time, that trade could not be linked with human rights had now been disproved.
The post-Helsinki period, Rabbi Miller said, has shown that all declarations made in Finland had not altered Soviet practice. The case of Lev Roitburd highlighted this, he observed.
On his way back from Bucharest, Rabbi Miller said he will attend the consultations on Soviet Jewry scheduled for next week in Paris. The meeting had been initiated by Pinhas Sapir.
This meeting, Rabbi Miller said, was part of annual discussions among Soviet Jewry campaigners from the U.S., Europe and Israel. They will evaluate the situation and consider future action, he said. As to the meeting Kissinger had with the Conference of Presidents delegation last week, Rabbi Miller stated he was only ready to say "we will support the Administration when it makes the proper decisions."

Play of the game: Mike Wallace's 95-yard catch
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Nothing makes Mike Wallace's eyes widen like a clear view of single coverage.
Well, except when he also sees the safety standing in another zip code.
"I get happy," he said with a broad grin. "Lunch meat."
There evidently is no menu that would alter the Steelers' appetite in this case: On the first snap after being pinned at their 5-yard line on a punt, Ben Roethlisberger took two steps back, held on a bit thanks to sound protection, then completed a 95-yard touchdown pass to Wallace. The catch-and-run was the longest pass play in franchise history, the second-longest play from scrimmage.
"That's pretty nice to hold a record like that," Wallace said.
The ball traveled 45 yards in the air, came down into Wallace's arms in full stride at the Steelers' 42, and he burst free — doesn't he always• — to find the end zone. That put the Steelers up, 14-0, in the second quarter en route to a 32-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The play, intended to be far less ambitious, called for Roethlisberger to throw underneath to tight end David Johnson and escape the shadow of the goal posts.
But, moments after the snap, Roethlisberger took "a peek out of the corner of my eye" to the right side at Wallace.
"We got the coverage we wanted," Wallace said. "The safety was in the middle of the field, so I just threw up my hand and Ben saw me."
The cornerback was Richard Marshall, who jumped outside and allowed Wallace to beat him to the inside. And that might have been fine had safety Rashad Johnson not begun his pursuit from so far away.
Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said, "We knew that was coming. We did everything we could to prevent it."
It's hard to imagine how the Cardinals did that with single-coverage, but the Steelers were delighted they did.
"You put it out there for a guy like that, he makes a play, and you kind of start smiling because you know he's not going to get caught," Roethlisberger said.
The Arizona secondary took it differently.
"It was my fault," Marshall said. "He's fast, and that's all there is to it."
"It's something we talked about all week: We wanted to keep 17 in front of us," Johnson said. "It's hard to guess on a guy when he's that fast."
This was Wallace's sixth consecutive game with a catch of 40 or more yards, the NFL's longest such streak since Isaac Bruce in 2000, and the touchdown was his 21st of 40 or more yards. For the season, Wallace has 36 catches for 730 yards and five touchdowns, an average reception of 20.3 yards.
The previous longest pass in franchise history was a three-way tie for 90 yards, most recently between Kordell Stewart and Bobby Shaw on Dec. 16, 2001, at Baltimore. The longest play from scrimmage remains a 97-yard run by Bobby Gage on Dec. 4, 1949, at Chicago.

The British finance minister will on Wednesday deliver an annual budget that aims to boost the economy's fragile recovery alongside a series of severe government spending cuts and tax hikes.
George Osborne will unveil his 2011/12 tax and spending plans before parliament at 1230 GMT.
Osborne is presenting the event as a "budget for growth," even as his drastic austerity measures risk pushing Britain back into recession, according to some analysts.
"The chancellor has promised a 'pro-growth' budget likely to include a number of minor tax measures aimed at cutting regulation and improving the business environment," said Capital Economics analyst Jonathan Loynes.
Osborne is expected to announce tax breaks for the country's lowest earners, newspapers reported.
The salary threshold at which workers start to pay tax is set to rise by £600 ($980, 692 euros) to £8,000, taking 250,000 earners out of the income tax system, according to press reports.
Economists agree that Osborne will stick to his drastic deficit-slashing plans when he unveils the budget.
"There's really very little scope for the chancellor to back down on his public spending cuts," Daiwa economist Hetal Mehta told AFP. "I don't think they can deviate from that too much at this stage.
"Any announcements will be fairly small in scale and even if there are a couple of surprise announcement I do not think they will be particularly costly surprises."
Following last year's general election, Osborne gave a painful emergency budget aimed at improving the dire state of Britain's public finances.
Osborne remains on course to undershoot his official borrowing target of £148.5 billion (171 billion euros, $243 billion) for the current 2010/2011 financial year that runs to the end of March.
This is despite official data published Tuesday showing that public sector net borrowing surprisingly hit a much larger-than-expected £11.8 billion in February -- the highest level on record for the month.
"The government still faces a long, hard slog in ensuring that borrowing comes down to anything approaching sustainable levels and from an economic perspective," said Investec economist Philip Shaw.
"There is no case whatsoever for a fiscal giveaway at (the) budget," he added.
The coalition, which came to power in May 2010, is seeking to slash a record public deficit run up under the previous Labour government as a result of banking bailouts and weak taxation revenue because of the recession.
Also on Wednesday, the government's independent fiscal watchdog -- the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) -- publishes its latest forecasts for British public borrowing and economic growth.
The OBR is widely predicted to lower its 2011 economic growth forecast to about 1.8 percent, from the prior estimate of 2.1 percent, after Britain's economy unexpectedly shrank in the final quarter of 2010.
In a further blow ahead of the budget, separate data published Tuesday showed that British annual inflation jumped to 4.4 percent in February, the highest level since October 2008.
Consumer price index inflation was propelled by soaring energy and clothing costs.

NEW place signs are to be installed in Marton to replace those that have deteriorated so much they are causing confusion among visitors.
The signs are the result of an application for funding made by Marton parish meeting towards a project that includes other planned improvements within the village, to the LEADER Small Scale Enhancements Scheme.
Terry Wallis, from Marton parish meeting, said the project had been motivated initially by the villages' need to replace Marton's three village signs.
"As the project progressed it became apparent that because of the residents' pride in their village there were other aspects that needed consideration also," he said.
"Marton will now benefit from having its chapel clock repaired, the siting of a replacement waste bin, with a lid to prevent litter being blown away, near to the village noticeboard which itself is to have a facelift and an additional dog waste bin located on the eastern side of the village in Marton Lane to discourage fouling by dogs."
The total cost of the project is £3,717 and with £2,467 being funded from the SSE Scheme. The balance of £1,250 has to be raised from within the village.
Marton parish meeting and Marton Mornings Jubilee Charity have together pledged to contribute £1,000 towards the project and other contributions from individual residents on an anonymous basis are being sought.

SPRING, Texas - A Spring mother is protesting her son's school because of the bullying he has received.
Anna Villareal Romo says when she sends her 10-year-old son Christopher to school she feels like she's sending him off to war.
"He's in a battlefield and there's no supervision", Romo said.
The Spring mother claims her son has been choked and spit on. He attends Smith Elementary School.
Romo says after two years of trying to get the principal and the school district to address her son's bullying allegations, she's had enough and plans to get her message across by protesting outside the school.
Local 2 viewer Lisa Hongsermeier saw KPRC Local 2's coverage Friday morning and felt compelled to help.
She knows all about what Romo is going through, claiming her son went through something similar in another school district when he was younger.
"I'm just a mom and this is my home now, and I want this school to be as good as Twin Creeks was for my son," Hongsermeier said.
Romo told Local 2 she is not taking on this mission alone and that several other parents and students plan to join her in protest.
A Spring ISD spokesperson says Romo's concerns are being addressed at the campus level and will progress to the administrative level if needed.

A DRINK-driver nearly four times over the limit has been banned from getting behind the wheel for three years after being involved in a hit and run.
Shaji Sjose, of Lobelia Avenue, Farnworth, was arrested on November 22 last year after he crashed his Toyota Corolla into a Peugeot 206 being driven by a woman in Wigan Road at about 1pm. When he was arrested Sjose was breathalysed and found to have 319 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath — the legal limit is 80 milligrammes, Bolton Magistrates Court heard yesterday.
Howard Sloane, prosecuting, said Sjose hit the wheel arch of the Peugeot. He did not give any details and drove off.
Bolton Magistrates Court heard Sjose was "ashamed" of his actions and later lost his job.
District Judge Jonathan Finestein, sentencing, said: "This is a very serious matter.
"You were nearly four times over the drinkdriving limit.
"That is probably how you lost your job.
"One thing I have to do is ensure the citizens of Bolton know you aren't behind the wheel."
Sjose, who held his hands in a prayer position whilst he awaited his sentence, received the driving ban, a 16-week jail term suspended for two years and was ordered to attend sessions to address his alcohol use.
He was also ordered to pay his victim £400 compensation, and ordered to pay an £80 victim surcharge and £85 court costs.

India's Ittiam rolls multiformat high-definition video decoder engine
Post a comment
BANGALORE, India Ittiam Systems has developed a video decoder engine for high-definition DVD and set-top ASIC solutions. The Trinity multiformat high-definition video decoder (MFVDEC) soft IP core is said to enable efficient silicon implementations that maximize the number of functions available per die size. A test chip to demonstrate the technology will be available in a few months.
Tape-outs based on the Ittiam intellectual property are expected next year, with boxes based on the IP appearing in 2008, according to the company. The MFVDEC core employs microengines to handle complex functions such as context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (Cabac), motion compensation, motion vector prediction and deblocking for H.264 and Video Codec 1 ( VC1, the SMPTE video standard based on Microsoft's Windows Media codec). It also capable of decoding MPEG-4 video and legacy MPEG-2 content. Modular clock gating reduces power consumption, according to Ittiam.
The MFVDEC core is available as soft IP in Verilog with complete documentation, associated synthesis scripts and a testbench framework. Ittiam provides an FPGA-based validation platform for the IP. The Verilog code is validated using a Synopsys tool kit.
"The high-definition video market is set to explode over the next three years," said Will Strauss, president of market research firm Forward Concepts. "I believe Ittiam's multiformat video decode engine will enable system-on-chip companies to introduce integrated devices for high-definition DVD players, set-top boxes and televisions."
Ittiam said it is in licensing talks now with potential MFVDEC customers. The company also said it is building error resilience, rights management, TD demux stream support and postprocessing functions for the IP.

Project: Residential construction of 170 luxury apartments on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Contractor: United Engineering Construction L.L.C
Developer: Nakheel PJSC
MEVA Systems: Wall formwork Mammut 350, Slab formwork MevaDec
Formwork Engineering: MEVA KHK Formwork Systems, Dubai, UAE
Stretching almost 5 kilometres into the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah doubles Dubai's shoreline and is home to a new destination with world-class hotels, shopping malls, homes, entertainment and leisure. Part of this develop- ment by Nakheel is the Azure Residence project encompassing 170 luxury appartments being built directly on the waterfront by contractor UNEC. Typical for residential projects of this nature is the demand for the best possible efficiency and speed. Since the slabs constitute the largest part of concrete works in terms of area, the formwork methods were looked at very closely. The MevaDec slab system proved once more to be best in class in terms of cost, speed, efficiency and quality.
These advantages come from flexibility with minimised compensation areas, easy adaptation to building layouts, reduced inventory through the early stripping method and quick cycles without crane. Safety and ease of assembly with zero error (the prop positions are defined by the system) allow for easy planning, logistics and work flow, saving time and money.
Referencen for Projets in Commercial & Residential Construction, Architectural Construction, High-Rise Construction and Civil Engineering Construction

I tweet. You tweet back. Together we have twittered.
I recently asked for your three big questions heading into the upcoming Mountaineer football season. The responses covered 21 different topics, ranging from inquiries about the often talked about gold uniforms to whether I will say "it's a great night to be a Mountaineer" 13 times this season. The answers to those are, yes, I'm sure we'll see the gold unis, and no, I won't say it 13 times because that's a phrase used only for special wins.
Granted, it's always a great time to be a Mountaineer, but overuse diminishes something special. It's the same reason why your mom didn't break out the family china for breakfast everyday. But I digress.
As for the big three questions, there was actually a tie for third. Here we go:
1.) Will the offensive line be good enough to win?
2.) Will special teams be any good?
3.) Will we be better in short yardage?
3a.) Will the coaching staff be up to the challenge?
|Josh Jenkins
Offensive Line: Despite losing three starters, this unit has a chance to grow into a solid and capable line. Program insiders will tell you that new starters Donny Barclay, Josh Jenkins, and Jeff Braun are more athletically gifted than their predecessors, but simply lack game experience. There's no argument that the line's development is the biggest story/question of the preseason. Equally important is the development of a second string on the line. True freshman Jordan Weingart (6-2, 290, Gainesville, Fla.) will have an opportunity to make the two-deep.
Special Teams: There seems to be a perception that all of last year's special teams were bad. Actually that's not true. WVU led the Big East in field goals and PATs, and was second in net punting. The problem came in kick return coverage where it was dead last, and in punt returns where it was seventh. The kick return average was fifth. I agree, this is one of the big questions heading into the season. Much time was spent on special teams development during the spring and there will be changes made in both scheme and personnel. It's very likely the Mountaineers' coverage and return units will be much improved this season, but punting and field goal kicking productivity could decrease. The truth is that WVU lost an NFL-quality kicker in Pat McAfee. Scott Kozlowski has patiently waited his turn and will do just fine. He has a career average of 39.5 yards per punt on 16 punts, but hasn't seen action since the 2006 season. He was rated the nation's No. 1 punter coming out of high school. The field goal kicking question is a total unknown. Tyler Bitancurt will get the first opportunity. He redshirted last season and was injured during spring practice. Transfer Josh Lider from Western Washington has been added to the roster. He's the only kicker that has actually performed in a college game.
|Ryan Clarke
Short Yardage: Yes, the Mountaineers will be better in short yardage. There are a couple of reasons why we'll see improvement. A year ago the Mountaineers were just too young at the fullback and tight-end position. Tyler Urban and Ricky Kovatch were forced to play as true freshmen. Talented Ryan Clarke needed a redshirt season. Clarke emerged as the big back WVU so desperately needed during spring practice. Improved maturity, coupled with a great deal of time devoted to short yardage situations during spring and fall camp, will make WVU a much better short yardage team this season.
Coaching Staff: Yes the staff is ready for the challenge. This is a staff that knows how to win. It's a unit that has combined to win 37 conference championships, four national championships, and has a total of 231 years of college coaching experience. History has also been favorable to second year coaching staffs at WVU. There have been six head coaches at West Virginia since Gene Corum assumed the reigns from Art Pappy Lewis in 1960. Five of those six coaches either won more games, or equaled their win total, from year one to year two. The only coach who failed to win more games in year two was Bobby Bowden, and things had a way of working out for him over the long run.
Thanks for all your tweets. I'll be using Twitter all season to keep you updated on what's happening with the Mountaineers. If you'd like to follow, just click the link below and we'll tweet together.

Election Day is just a week away and if you're anything like me, you want to shut off all your electronic devices.
No more phones flooded with recorded messages encouraging you to vote for (or against) someone or something.
No more television with its inane and infuriating candidate ads.
No more e-mail with all its election propaganda.
Even worse, not only is all this modern politicking annoying, some of it is also just plain wrong.
Take an e-mail that's been circulating about the new health care law. The message warns that you'll soon be paying added taxes on the value of your employer-provided health care coverage. Here's an excerpt:
Starting in 2011 (next year folks) your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private company or government body of some sort. If you're retired ... So what, your gross will go up by the amount of insurance you get.
The dollar value (cost of what the company pays for your insurance) will be considered income and added to your gross pay.
You will be taxed on the total. You will be required to pay taxes on a larger sum of money that you have never seen.
Now, I'm not calling this e-mail a scam, but it operates in much the same way that tax scams do. It contains a kernel of truth that it then twists it to suit its purposes. In this case, that appears to be an effort to panic people when it comes to health care in the hopes they'll vote against a candidate who supported health care reform.
The tiny true part of the e-mail is that every worker who has health through his or her workplace will eventually know the value of that coverage. And the amount will be reported on the worker's 2011 tax year W-2 form, sent out in 2012. This is the same form on which a worker's income and withholding taxes are reported.
But your company's portion of your insurance, which is a nontaxable fringe benefit to you, will still be a nontaxable benefit. The IRS isn't going to get a cent from you based on that amount.
The IRS does, however, want to know about companies' insurance costs for employees. And the easiest way to get that info is by using a reporting system, the annual W-2 forms employers send out, that's already in place.
Why is the IRS curious about what employers pay for employee medical insurance? Because another part of health care reform is the so-called Cadillac tax which will be assessed in 2018 on very expensive health care benefits that some employees receive.
That tax, though, will not be paid by the workers getting the high-dollar coverage at work. Nor will your boss pick up the tab. Rather, the Cadillac tax will be paid by the insurance companies.
And right now, it looks like the reporting requirement might even be delayed. The IRS has announced that the 2011 W-2 workplace health insurance information reporting will be optional.
The Treasury Department, which is the boss of the IRS, decided not to strictly enforce the new 2011 reporting requirement because many employers need more time to make changes to their payroll systems before they can comply with the new law.
Remember, though, regardless of when the reporting requirement takes effect, it won't cost you a penny more in taxes.

Bizarro Hat
This pattern is available for $5.00 USD buy it now
A child can never have too many hats. This pattern has instructions for five different sizes in two different yarn weights and gauges for maximum customization. Whether you are looking for a heavy winter hat for your preschooler or a light spring covering for a newborn, this hat has something for you.
This hat was designed as a challenge to myself. I wanted to see if I could create an earflap hat that only has two ends to weave in, which this hat has! This is the ideal hat for those who hate finishing. The earflap ties help keep the hat on while the shaping away from the face and the loose back help even the most hat-picky child forget they have something on their head.
Gauge is critical to this hat so be sure to swatch!

Filing a Claim for Violation of the Equal Pay Act
Locate a Local Employment Lawyer
Equal Pay Act Protection
The Equal Pay Act protects workers from gender discrimination in wages and benefits. Employees must be given equal pay for equal work. Violation of the Equal Pay Act is a valid cause of action and employees who are paid less than other employees because of their gender can file a claim against the employer for damages.
Does the Equal Pay Act Only Protect Women?
While the Equal Pay Act was originally established to correct the unfair pay differential generally faced by women, the courts have since ruled that the Act applies to both genders and that "reverse" discrimination against men is also a violation.
Proving a Claim for Violation of the Equal Pay Act
To prevail in a claim against an employer for violation of the Equal Pay Act, an employee must establish the employer/employee relationship and prove all of the following:
- Employee was paid less than another employee of different gender performing equal work
- "Equal Work" as determined by equal skill, effort and responsibility
- Work performed under similar working conditions
- Pay differential based on gender
Shifting Burdens of Proof
An employee making a claim against an employer has the initial burden of proof to establish that all of the above factors are met. If established, the employer then has the burden of proof to defend against the claim.
Prima Facie and Willful Violations
If it is determined that the factors are met, then it is prima facie evidence ("bare minimum") of the violation and the employer is liable for compensatory damages.
An employee may also attempt to prove that the violation was willful by showing that the employer knew, or should have known, of the Equal Pay Act provisions and recklessly disregarded them. A successful claim of willful violation can result in additional punitive damages.
Statute of Limitations
A claimed violation of the Equal Pay Act generally must be filed in state or federal court within two years of the date the cause of action occurred. This date is typically determined as the date a discriminatory pay action took place or the date the employee discovered (or should have discovered) the discrimination.
Do I Need a Lawyer for an Equal Pay Act Claim?
Filing a sex discrimination claim against an employer is difficult to pursue without a lawyer. An experienced employment lawyer can help you understand your rights under the Equal Pay Act and represent you in court and file any necessary paperwork.

Terrell Owens Is Now Again Without A Job, Cut By His Former Team The Allen Wranglers
Terrell Owens has been having issues on and off the field which led the team to part ways with the former NFL star.
Terrell Owens was a 6-time Pro-Bowl player in the NFL. He played for teams such as the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Since his ACL surgery last summer Owens has held a workout for NFL scouts to come and see what he can do and maybe someone will sign him. But unfortunately nobody showed up. Therefore Owens was with a team and a job.
Since he could not play in the NFL no more Owens decided to play some indoor football and sign with an IFL team called the Allen Wranglers. He signed a 1 year $500,000 contract and also owned some stakes in the team. The Allen Wranglers owners were not happy with Owens work ethics since he signed with the team so they decided to terminate Owens contract and his stakes in the team.

Is there also the possibility of having a book progress as well, preferably as unobtrusive as the chapter progress bar?
I know I'm being greedy and wanting both, but I think it's good to have it as well.
I knew that people would ask for this
The problem with the book progress is, that an ePub file normally consists of several xhtml files, often one file per chapter. When you read e.g. chapter 1, EPUBReader opens the appropriate xhtml file for this chapter and just knows about the reading progress in this file. It doesn't know anything about the other files.
To have something like a book progress, it would be necessary to analyze the contents of ALL xhtml files and make a guess about the progress. Of course this can be done and I guess this is what Aldiko does, but it's pretty complex to implement and it takes also some time at runtime to analyze the files.
I put this on the change list, but I'm not sure if and when this will be available.

Hello again, Brothers and Sisters of the Psychotronic Video World. Now, when I'm stuck pushing papers at my desk at my "real" job, I like to have a playlist of podcasts to listen to, to pass the time and keep my brain from atrophying as I fight my way through the joylessness of being a paralegal for a foreclosure law firm. My favorite podcast for this purpose is MonsterTalk, the science show about monsters. In each hour-long episode, skeptical monster-enthusiasts Blake Smith, Ben Radford and Dr. Karen Stollznow examine the intersection between science and folklore as they apply to monsters; from the imaginary (an episode on Cthulhu is one of the most popular they've done) to the real (an excellent examination of scabies mites and the disease mange, the cause of all those Chupacabra sightings in Texas) and especially those that toe the line – Bigfoot, Nessie, Chupacabras, Mothman, and many others. Each episode involves interviewing a guest expert on the subject at hand, usually the author of a recent book on the subject. And let me just say, my Amazon.com wishlist gets a little longer with each episode. These aren't the "Finding Bigfoot" guys – these are historians, anthropologists, biologists, serious theologians, and other luminaries examining evidence and weighing in, with a good dose of fun and humor as well (a faux-interview with the Krampus in one holiday episode concluded with the Krampus identifying Dan Aykroyd as his favorite movie monster).
In the most recent episode of MonsterTalk, their guests were Dr. Todd Disotell, a molecular primatologist at NYU and a fairly regular guest on the show, and Natalia Reagan, a field primatologist involved in the conservation of spider monkeys. In addition to these roles, Dr. Todd and Natalia are acting as science experts and judges on a new reality show on SpikeTV, "The 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty." Upon learning from the interview that the show would lean heavily in favor of actual science over a bunch of fat idiots running around in the woods at night going, "It's squatchy up in here," I knew I had to check it out. The first episode aired this past Friday on SpikeTV, but as I don't have cable in my apartment, I ended up having to wait and catch it streaming.
The show itself is built around a simple enough premise. Nine teams of two contestants, a mix of hunters, wildlife photographers, and yes, "Squatchers," compete for a $10 million grand prize. To claim the prize, they have to bring in solid evidence of Bigfoot's existence as an as-yet undiscovered primate species living in the Pacific Northwest. And by evidence, I don't mean claiming, "I saw some poop on the ground and it was Bigfoot's," Dr. Todd and Natalia are holding the contestants to the same standards of evidence they would hold their own colleagues in their respective fields. Dr. Todd's genetics lab has proven the existence of four types of apes (a new subspecies of chimpanzee, a new subspecies of gorilla, and two species of Mangabey) and has also tested dozens, if not hundreds of claimed samples of Bigfoot hair and scat to determine if they did originate with a previously-unknown large primate. If anyone can determine that a DNA sample is unequivocably that of an anomalous ape, it is him, and for the show he's been outfitted with an incredibly state-of-the-art mobile genetics laboratory to test anything the contestants bring him.
Now, you know me, readers. I love me some Bigfoot, but to tell the truth I do not believe there's anything of the sort out there. Between the fact that most of the seminal Bigfoot cases have been proven to be hoaxes or at least practical jokes, and that as camera technology has improved and human activity in forests all over the world have increased, sightings of Bigfoot have become rarer and the quality of photographic evidence has declined unbelievably, the evidence simply isn't there to suggest that a giant hairy protohuman is wandering America. I can't remember the last time I owned a camera without autofocus; how hard do you have to work to get blurry indistinguishable photos these days?
As such, and given the sheer quantity of garbage gullible pseudoscience on TV nowadays between "Finding Bigfoot" and "Ancient Aliens" (there's no man on Earth I want to give an atomic wedgie to more than Giorgio Tsoukalos) and the likes, "The 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty" is a breath of fresh air. It's not wholly skeptical; the wailing cry of an animal in the forest is given no other explanation then a contestant shouting "that's the sound of Sasquatch!" for example, but overall the amount of actual scientific methodology and critical reasoning that made it to the screen is truly impressive. Even more enjoyably, Dr. Todd and Natalia don't hesitate to tell it like it is; as Natalia notes, her professional reputation is on the line; she can't pat the contestants on the back and say good job if they haven't earned it. Dr. Todd, in addition to having a kickass mohawk and an inspiring CV, has a delightfully acerbic attitude and dry wit. When faced with the following whopper:
Dr. Todd's only comment was to note that, while Justin claimed his "sample" tested as a "feral caveman human," there's no DNA marker for "feral" — "a feral human is a human, and if his story's true he's a murderer."
This first episode opened with a challenge; each team had to use an air-powered dart rifle to collect DNA samples from wildlife in thelocale they were in, to prove they could do so; following this, the teams were sent out into the woods for an all-night hunt for evidence of Bigfoot's presence in the vicinity – a site where more than 50 Bigfoot sightings have been reported in the last half-century. The team that brought back the least convincing, or at least, the least testable, evidence would be sent home. In the course of the hunt, we're treated to some real kickers, including a team mistaking moss on a tree for Bigfoot hair, a team using a toy lightsaber to try and kindle Bigfoot's curiosity and lure him in, a team claiming that evidence of elk in the area was proof that Bigfoot had a food source, and my favorite, a team that came back to base camp with nothing, not so much as a single bent blade of grass, and then having the chutzpah to say that they're the only honest team and weren't going to waste time with weak claims of evidence.
As this is a reality TV show, there are of course eliminations, and one team was given the big boot home. I can only imagine how agonizing the decision over which team to send home was for host Dean and scientists Dr. Todd and Natalia; quite frankly, I'd have trouble deciding between half the cast over who to eliminate this week, because everything they brought in was crap – in several cases quite literally. There's a lot of poop in this show; including one contestant putting some in his mouth to disguise his scent and another literally rubbing elk feces in his hair for the same reason.
Episode 2 airs tomorrow night at 10 pm and I'm so syked up for it. I'm normally not a TV kinda guy – I don't get sucked into shows, but I'm hooked on the 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty. And I think that's damn high praise.

The 17 Most Stylish Sports Uniforms of All Time
Hard as it might be midsummer to imagine the need for a turtleneck, your favorite stores are about to get lousy with 'em. Turtlenecks edge the line between casual and dressy, i.e., exactly where designers like Gucci's Frida Giannini think a man should be right now, and when you go with a darker, thinner iteration, it slims the torso and frames the jaw, like so. A guy could do a whole lot worse.
Double-breasted wool coat ($2,590), cashmere turtleneck sweater ($995), and wool trousers ($635) by Gucci; leather shoes ($700) by Church's; leather gloves ($195) by Paul Smith.
Wool coat ($1,595) and wool trousers (part of suit, $1,195) by Polo Ralph Lauren; cotton shirt ($350) and silk tie ($155) by Ralph Lauren Black Label; leather boots ($1,875) by Tod's; leather belt ($98) by Coach; leather gloves ($268) by John Varvatos.

Dressed-Up Punchby Food Network Kitchen in Holidays, December 21st, 2010
The Shirley Temple Punch (# 25 in Food Network Magazine's 50 Holiday Drinks insert) is a kid-friendly favorite that can easily be dressed up with a festive ice float:
Layer sliced oranges and maraschino cherries in a 10-inch Bundt pan. Cover with 3 to 4 cups of water and freeze until completely set. Run cold water over the Bundt pan to help release the ice ring. Place in the bottom of your serving bowl and top with punch.
If you're serving adults, stir in some bourbon, gin or vodka for a spiked refreshment (they'll still love the ice ring!).
Shirley Temple Punch from 50 Holiday Drinks
Mix 5 cups ginger ale, 2 cups orange juice and 1/2 cup grenadine in a punch bowl. Add sliced oranges and maraschino cherries. Serve over ice.
