The Report a problem on Xbox One and the Feedback Hub on Windows 10 features are a few of the most important aspects of participating in the Xbox Insider Program. Use them whenever you encounter a problem or any unexpected behavior to help Team Xbox investigate and resolve problems. This improves the Xbox experience for you and everyone else in the Xbox community.
This page describes the steps to take when reporting a new or known problem and includes answers to frequently asked questions.
Note Report a problem is available only on Xbox One consoles that have the Xbox Insider Hub app installed. You can download this app from the Store at any time.
Immediately after you encounter a problem or unexpected behavior, you'll want to launch Report a problem:
Report a problem opens within the Xbox Insider Hub.
After launching the Report a problem feature, the Known problems screen displays, which shows you problems that other players have already reported.
To add info about the known problem:
If you're experiencing a problem or unexpected behavior that no one else has reported, add a new problem. Your report will help our Team Xbox investigate the issue. Here's how:
You can also share problems you encounter and find support by chatting with other Xbox Insiders and Xbox staff on the Xbox Insider forums.
When is the best time to use the Report a problem feature?
Immediately after a problem or unexpected behavior occurs. This ensures the diagnostic data you send us is relevant to the problem.
Can I review the video capture or screenshot I'll be sending with my problem?
Yes, before you submit your problem, you'll be able to preview your video capture or screenshot. If you decide not to send either media, just clear the checkboxes and they won't be included in your report.
I selected "Include video capture," but I don't see a video. Why not?
Video capture is available only for problems reported with games.
Can I use something other than my controller to type the description and title for the problem?
Yes, you can use:
I have an idea for a new feature or improvement. Should I submit it via Xbox One Report a problem or the Windows Feedback app?
We'd love to hear your suggestions and ideas. The best place to submit them is on the Xbox Feedback page. Team Xbox monitors this page and uses your feedback to plan the development of new features.
However, use Report a problem to report problems or unexpected behavior encountered on the console, as that will help us investigate the problems much faster.
Will I be contacted about problems I've reported?
Ideally, we'd follow up with you individually, but because of the amount of feedback we receive, this isn't always possible. If we have any additional questions about your feedback, we'll reach out to you via Xbox Live message or on the Xbox Insider forums.
The problem I reported still isn't fixed. When will it be fixed?
We try to fix all problems in a timely manner, but there are inevitably some problems that require a greater level of investigation and investment. If you reported a problem in a previous update and it's not resolved in the subsequent update, be sure to use Report a problem again and let us know the problem's still occurring. Be sure to include all the relevant details that we've outlined above.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hockey Fans React to USHL Fighting Story
Nothing stokes the flames of passion among hockey fans quicker than a discussion on fighting in the sport.
After an incident last weekend at a USHL game in Cedar Rapids, where a player had full-body seizures and was hospitalized after hitting his head on the ice during a fight , I wrote a piece repeating my call for a ban on fighting in junior hockey.
The response to the story was mixed.
Lee Van Ruler e-mailed me at email@example.com:
There should never be a 'joke' about 'I went to a fight, and a hockey game
broke out'. Personal observation to stop the fighting (all sports): 1st
offence - immediate rejection from the game, Coach sits in the penalty box
(hockey); 2nd offence, player ejected and serves 5 game suspension, coach
spends a night in jail; 3rd offence, player banned, coach spends week in
jail. It may be harsh, but the end result would be a cleaner game and the
talent would come to the top. The players and fans need to understand that
life cannot be resolved in the office, on the line at any job, etc. by
fighting and physical altercation. Are we trying to take players to the next
boxing match - or attempting to make them solid citizens in our community?
Sounds kind of harsh - but I have a feeling that the fighting would cease
pretty quick.
Other fans weighed in on the ESPN 99.1 Facebook page.
From Tyler Soyer:
Let it happen its part of the game some are trying to go to the pros some are trying to college...
...Don't drop the gloves if you can't handle the consequences that may occur...
...it's part of hockey, that's what the sport has been known for to have happen, I think you can't allow it to high school kids but if you did limit it to where its with helmets and gloves on...
...its a known thing in hockey, that's what hockey has been known for is the fights, its not allowed in Olympics because it is almost like an all-star game, I think it should be allowed in college, I would say if its not a high school sport and some sort of semi pro or collegiate it should be allowed in hockey, how else can you get ready for the pro's?
From Jon Witkop:
It's part of the game. If you take away the fighting, you get a lot of chippy, cheap shot kind of plays that you see at the college level that also result in injury. Unfortunately, stuff like this happens, but it is rare; and when it does happen, stuff like this try to play the 'I told you so' role.
How about we take tackling out of football? After all, that has been known to seriously injure players and cause life long issues as well. And since we are going that far, no more jumping in basketball. I mean Kevin Ware's injury during the NCAA tournament last year was one of the more gruesome injuries in recent memory.
The worst kind of injuries in hockey don't happen from fighting. They happen when a player gets cut by a skate. Just ask our own Zack Redmond how that goes. If you want to see a picture of just what a skate can do, here's a link for you.
There's a time and a place for fighting in hockey. You don't have to like it but it does help keep the game clean.
Here's my original story 'Ugly USHL Incident is a Reminder Why Fighting Should be Banned':
It started out as something all too commonplace and quickly turned into something very scary.
Midway through the second period of Saturday's USHL game featuring the Dubuque Fighting Saints and the Cedar Rapids Roughriders at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena, Saints defenseman Dylan Chanter squared off to fight Roughriders forward Corey Petrash.
But what began as just another hockey fight escalated to a medical emergency in the blink of an eye, when the players tumbled to the ice, and Chanter, who had lost his helmet during the scuffle, smacked his head on the frozen surface.
The crowd at 'The Stable' that stood and cheered the brawl was quickly silenced when the 18-year old Chanter began to have full-body seizures for an agonizing two minutes. He remained down on the ice for 15 minutes before paramedics arrived to transport him to the hospital.
The game was suspended.
Monday, USHL Commissioner Skip Prince issued a statement on the incident that read, in part:
We at the USHL are grateful to report that Dylan Chanter is now back in Dubuque, resting comfortably, after being released late Saturday evening from the University of Iowa Hospitals. Mr. Chanter's medical care was rendered professionally and expertly from the moment of the injury by a series of medical providers, who I would like to thank on behalf of the League: by the trainers of both teams and the supervising physician present at the game (per USHL rules); by medical personnel at UnityPoint Health/St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, where he was transported by ambulance; and finally at the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City, where he was airlifted in order to be examined by appropriate specialists...
…We want to face squarely the questions that have arisen as to the circumstances that caused the injury - that is, that Mr. Chanter and a Cedar Rapids player were engaged in a short altercation, with the injury occurring when both players fell and Mr. Chanter's head hit the ice. The injury was the accidental and unintended outcome of an infraction that resulted in a fighting major penalty to both players…
The statement points out that the league, in conjunction with USA Hockey and the NHL, has implemented a 'comprehensive Player Safety Initiative' designed to reduce dangerous play in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, fighting.
The initiative includes video reviews and 'progressively increasing discipline' for bad behavior, but is stunningly silent on the issue of seeking to eliminate one of the most 'dangerous' aspects of the game itself – fighting.
When people are allowed to take part in an activity when it's acceptable to wail on each other, someone is bound to get hurt. All of the 'after the fact' video reviews and suspensions don't attempt to stop the problem before it starts.
The commissioner has asked the USHL Competition Committee to investigate the incident, and league rules, in an attempt to determine how to reduce the possibility of something like this from happening again.
He then touts the USHL's low number of fights compared to other top tier leagues (about .45 fights per game - or about one every two and a half games).
While I commend the Commissioner's desire to be proactive and examine the issue more closely, quoting fight stats is missing the point.
Some fighting is still a far cry from no fighting, and the 'it could be worse' mentality misses the bigger picture.
Back in April, I wrote a piece called 'Time to Stop the Fighting in USHL Games'. In it, I reminded fans of a couple of key things:
1. These are (for the most part) high school aged kids who should be held to the same standards of any other high school aged sport.
2. Most of the players in the USHL are in the league to try land a college hockey scholarship. Guess what is outlawed in college hockey? Fighting!
Would Dylan Chanter's injuries been as severe if his helmet hadn't been dislodged? Probably not.
Is the continued tolerance of fighting in the USHL responsible for the severity of the injuries in this case? Yes. Keep in mind, Chanter's helmet did not come off in the course of normal game action. It was knocked off during an altercation.
Will outlawing fighting eliminate injuries in hockey? Of course not. But in a hard hitting and fast paced sport like hockey, aren't there already enough other opportunities for players to get hurt in the course of regular game action?
Let me know what you think.

Students will come in contact with many teachers during their time in college. The University of Houston's Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) wants to ensure that it's time well spent.
The CTE, a resource for all UH faculty, is hosting an orientation for new teaching assistants and their departmental supervisors. The event is planned from noon to 2 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 23 in the KIVA in Farish Hall. New graduate instructors will get hands-on instruction for use in their classrooms or labs.
"Teaching assistants play a key role in many first- and second-year courses for the retention of undergraduates," said Professor David Mazella, director of the CTE. "These kinds of professionalization programs help graduate students succeed with those students, in their own degree programs and on the job market."
Started in 2010, the CTE is a faculty-driven effort to improve teaching effectiveness on campus. The organization is a resource for faculty (tenured and adjunct) and their teaching assistants that makes available information on professional development, new instructional products and software, policies and procedures and teaching and mentoring guides. The organization also hosts the Teaching and Learning Conference planned this year for mid-November.
Additionally, the CTE offers a year long professional development program for teaching assistants that includes workshops and hybrid instructional modules under departmental supervisors' directions. Graduate instructors also may continue their work to on a Certificate of University Teaching that includes a professional e-portfolio documenting their teaching effectiveness.
"This will be a great year for CTE and its teaching assistants and faculty programs as we work toward expanding resources for instructors across campus," Mazella said. "We hope to provide this level of training for all teaching assistants campus-wide to ensure that this important part of undergraduate instruction is done effectively." For more information on the UH Center for Teaching Excellence visit http://cte.uh.edu/
WHAT: UH Center for Teaching Excellence Orientation for New Teaching Assistants
WHEN: Noon- 2 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 23

Abu al-Hasan Thabit ibn Qurra al-Harrani al-Sabi (born in Harran, now in southern Turkey, in 836 and died in Baghdad on 18 February 901) was a prolific scientist of the ninth century.
Abu al-Hasan Thabit ibn Qurra al-Harrani al-Sabi
Born in Harran, now in southern Turkey, in 836.
Died in Baghdad on 18 February 901.
Thabit was a prolific scientist of the ninth century. He belonged to the Sabian community, mentioned in the Qur'an; the Sabians descended from the Babylonian star worshippers. Because their beliefs were related to the stars, they produced many astronomers and mathematicians. During the Hellenistic era they spoke Greek and took Greek names; and after the Islamic conquest they spoke Arabic and began to assume Arabic names. Thābit, whose native language was Syriac, also knew Greek and Arabic. Most of his scientific works were written in Arabic, but some were in Syriac; he translated many Greek works into Arabic. When he was a distinguished scientist and physician in Baghdad, mainly under the reign of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tadid (892–902), Thābit was a leader of the Sabian community in Iraq. His son Sinān and his grandsons Ibrāhīm and Thābit were well–known scholars in mathematics, medicine and astronomy. Sinan ibn Thabit converted to Islam, thus putting an end to the Sabian tradition of the prestigious family his father had founded in the capital of the Muslim empire, and strengthened its integration in the Muslim society (see here).
In his youth, Thābit worked in Harrān as a money-changer. Muhammad, one of three Banū Mūsā brothers, who was traveling through Harrān, was impressed by his intellectual skills and invited him to Baghdad, where he became a great scientist. His son Sinān and his grandsons Ibrāhīm and Thābit were well-known scholars. Thābit, whose native language was Syriac, also knew Greek and Arabic. Most of his scientific works were written in Arabic, but some were in Syriac. His mathematical writings, the most studied of his works, played an important role in preparing the way for the extension of the concept of number to real numbers, integral calculus, theorems in spherical trigonometry, and non-Euclidean geometry. In astronomy Thābit was one of the first reformers of the Ptolemaic system, and in mechanics he was a founder of the Arabic tradition of the science of weights.
In mathematics, Thābit ibn Qurra translated or edited in full or in part many Greek mathematical works of Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Theodosius, and Menelaus. He also wrote commentaries on Euclid's Elements and Ptolemy's Almagest.
His Kitāb al-Mafrūdāt (Book of Data), consisting of thirty-six propositions in geometry and geometrical algebra, was very popular in Medieval times. Maqāla fī Istikhrāj al-A'dād al-Mutahābba (On the Determination of Amicable Numbers) contains ten propositions in number theory, including the problem, first solved by Thābit, of the construction of "amicable" numbers (pairs of numbers of which the sum of the divisors of each is equal to the other). In Kitāb fī Ta'līf al-Nisab (Book on the Composition of Ratios) Thābit studied the theory of compound ratios. This theory later led to the notion of real numbers and to the discovery of differential calculus.
Risāla fī al-Shakl al-Qattā' (Treatise on the Secant Figure) presents a simple and elegant proof of Menelaus theorem, the first theorem of spherical geometry. Misāhat al-Ashkāl al-Musattaha wa-'l-Mujassama contains rules for computing the areas of plane figures and the surfaces and volumes of solids.
Thābit produced proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem and its generalization in Risāla fi 'l–Hujja al-Mansūba ilā Suqrāt fi al-Murabba' wa-Qutrihi (On the Proof Attributed to Socrates on the Square and its Diagonal). In Kitāb fī Misāhat Qat' al-Makhrūt alladhī Yusammā al-Mukāfi' Thābit computed the area of the segment of a parabola. Historians of mathematics consider that this computation, different from that done by Archimedes in Quadrature of the Parabola, is equivalent to that of the integral. The computation is based essentially on the application of upper and lower integral sums, and the proof is done by the method of exhaustion.
Another area where Thābit exerted his mathematical genius is the classical problem of proving Euclid's fifth postulate, which he investigated in two treatises: Maqāla fī Burhān al-Musādara al-Mašhūra min Uqlīdis (The Proof of the Well-known Postulate of Euclid) and Maqāla fī anna al–khattayn Idhā Ukhrijā 'alā Zāwiyatayn Aqal min Qā'imatayn Iltaqayā (Two Lines Drawn at Angles Less Than Two Right Angles Will Meet). The first attempt is based on the unclear assumption that if two straight lines intersected by a third move closer together or farther apart on one side of it, then they must move farther apart or closer together on the other side. The "proof" consists of five propositions, the most important of which is the third, in which Thābit proves the existence of a parallelogram by means of which Euclid's fifth postulate is proved in the fifth proposition. The second attempt is based on kinematic considerations. Criticizing the approach of Euclid, who banned the use motion in geometry, Thābit asserted the necessity of its use. He postulates that in the parallel motion of a body, all its points describe straight lines. The "proof" consists of seven propositions, in the first of which, based on the necessity of using motion, he concludes that equidistant straight lines exist; in the fourth proposition he proves the existence of a rectangle that is used in the seventh proposition to prove the Euclidean postulate. Thābit's procedure and results were further developed by Ibn al-Haytham (d. c. 1050), 'Umar al-Khayyām (d. 1131) and Nasīr al-Dīn al-Tūsī (d. 1274) and later led to the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry.
In astronomy, Thābit was the author of many treatises on the movement of the sun and moon, sundials, visibility of the new moon, and celestial spheres. In a well-known treatise extant only in a Latin version (De motu octave spere), he added an eighth sphere, that of the fixed stars, to Ptolemy's spheres (those of the sun, moon, and five planets) and proposed the theory of "trepidation" to explain the precession of the equinoxes. This theory first appeared in Islamic astronomy in connection with Thābit's name.
Thābit studied the uneven apparent motion of the sun according to Ptolemy's eccentricity hypothesis in Kitāb fi Ibtā' al-Haraka fī Falak al-Burūj (The Deceleration of the Motion on the Ecliptic). He also investigated the apparent motion of the sun in Kitāb fī Sanat al-Shams (On the Solar Year). Kitāb fi Alāt al-Sā'āt allatī Tusammā Rukhāmāt is his treatise on the sundial in which Thābit used propositions of trigonometry equivalent to the spherical theorems of cosines and sines for spherical triangles of general forms to solve concrete problems in spherical astronomy. In another treatise on the sundial, Maqāla fī Sifat al-Ashkāl allatī Tahduthu bi-Mamarr Taraf Zill al-Miqyās, Thābit examines conic sections described by the end of a shadow of the gnomon on the horizontal plane and determines the diameters and centers of these sections for various positions of the sun.
Two of Thābit's treatises on balances and weights, Kitāb fi Sifat al-Wazn wa-Ikhtilāfihi (On the Properties of Weight and Nonequilibrium) and Kitāb fī al-Qarastūn (On the Steelyard [Balance]), are devoted to problems of practical and theoretical mechanics. But it is in Kitāb fī al-Qarastūn that Thābit presents a systematic theory of the steelyard with geometrical proofs. The main topic of the treatise is the determination of the weight which must be applied to the extremity of a homogeneous beam in order to maintain it in equilibrium, when this same beam is suspended from one of its points. To solve this problem, which he proved in the final part of the treatise, Thābit had to demonstrate the law of the lever and to determinate the statical moment of the beam.
Recent studies proved that Kitāb fī al-Qarastūn was the founding text of the Arabic tradition of the science of weights, which was continued and developed in the Latin tradition of Scientia de ponderibus.

I am hesitant to involve myself at all in the partisan shouting match between Rush Limbaugh and his detractors among the Democrats, but I just had to respond to the following example of uncritical thinking on DailyKos and to all the bloggers, diggers, and commentators that have showered their accolades thereupon over the past couple days:
I have read your breathless screeds about how President Obama is afraid to debate your Overlord, and how Obama has "painted himself into a corner," and how Jehovah is giving Jesus H. Christ himself the boot and preparing a seat for Overlord at His right hand.
Again, thank you.
However, I must deliver bad tidings.
You will want to sit down for this.
The debate already happened.
Assuming your discipleship doesn't require you to ingest Oxycontin like Skittles, you may recall an 18-month span of time that included conventions, stump speeches, lots of waving flags, a face-carving hoax, malfunctioning green screens, a "nation of whiners," $5000 pants suits, $2,000 hairdos, quasi-suspended campaigns, and tax dodging plumbers. This period of time -- which some call "a campaign" -- concluded in November of 2008 with a galactic asswhooping in which Barack Obama garnered 365 electoral votes to John McCain's 173 electoral votes.
In all, 70 million voters chose Barack Obama.
Now let me set a couple things straight first. I am not "siding with Rush Limbaugh" here. I am siding with reason. I am not defending his ridiculous challenge to our country's President to debate him. I acknowledge that he should know better than to expect the President of the United States to take time out of his day to debate a radio show host (and I imagine he does know better and that his challenge was crafted to do just what it accomplished: getting us all to talk about Rush Limbaugh).
Having said that, read the rest of this DailyKos blogger's article- his premise is that the truth is up for a vote. He more or less says, "More people believe in our side, so our side's right." He taunts Limbaugh's dittoheads by saying that the number of people who voted for Obama outnumbers their "army" of listeners. But his claims to numerical superiority are immaterial. He accuses Limbaugh of secreting "sweat, spittle, and invective," but a brief review of his blog is enough to see that he is dishing out the same invective and sophistry himself.
There is little evidence in his writing that he is earnest about engaging in meaningful dialogue and coming to the fullest and most accurate possible picture of reality, humanity's role in reality, and government's role in a human society. He (and so many bloggers and political commentators like him on both "sides" of the partisan debate) doesn't seem to offer arguments that his beliefs really are right so much as he spews the same invective that he finds so abhorrent in his partisan rivals.
It's not about who can shout loudest, convince the most people, or rally the most to fly their banner and repeat their slogans. It's not about who gets the most votes. Democracy can fail and can make the wrong decisions- just ask this DailyKos blogger how he feels about the results of "the debate" in 2004. Certainly he'd agree that democracy made a mistake then, so how can he so revel in democracy's sanction now?
The truth is the truth because it's what corresponds accurately to the reality it describes. I hope this blogger (and the many others swept up by his words) will come to understand that and to seek out the truth in evidence and reason, rather than the electoral results of a fickle mob of voters. I hope he will come to question his beliefs and evaluate them on their intellectual merits and engage in earnest discourse with others to come to the truth itself.

Jacksonville�s Kaitlyn Fletcher didn�t score a goal, but when the junior defender denied an early one by D.H. Conley it gave the Cardinals the needed momentum to pull away from the Vikings.
Jacksonville�s Kaitlyn Fletcher didn�t score a goal, but when the junior defender denied an early one by D.H. Conley it gave the Cardinals the needed momentum to pull away from the Vikings.
Fletcher�s defensive stop inside the 18-yard line just two minutes into the match set the tone for Jacksonville�s 5-0 win over D.H. Conley on Tuesday night in the third round of the NCHSAA 3-A girls� soccer playoffs.
Leah Oswalt and Meredith McCarty each scored two goals, and Cassie Padilla added a goal for the Cardinals (19-3-2), the top seed from the Coastal Conference, who will play host to rival White Oak on Friday in the East Regional semifinals. White Oak beat Wilson Hunt 1-0 on Tuesday.
D.H. Conley (14-7-1) was the third seed from the Coastal Conference.
�Kaitlyn�s play was huge,� Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said. �They score that early one and then we got pressure on us. She just stayed composed and waited for the right time to step in and separate her (DHC attacker) from the ball and deny that opportunity.
�They (the backfield) played a good game and kept everything in front of them. They did a good job of limiting their opportunities.�
The match was scoreless when the Vikings� Olivia Sandy made a run with the ball toward the right post. She looked in position for a point-blank shot but at the last second Fletcher got in front of Sandy and kicked the ball away.
�She got the ball and she was bobbling it around and I just got in front of her and stopped it and cleared it out,� Fletcher said. �I knew I couldn�t let her score. I think we stepped up after that.�
The Cardinals sure did.
Just 56 seconds after Fletcher�s play, Jacksonville took a 1-0 lead when Oswalt scored off an assist from Taylor Leyble. After a Jacksonville corner kick, Leyble played the ball near the right corner and crossed it to Oswalt, who took a one-touch shot while jumping in the air.
The ball sailed over the goalkeeper and into the net.
�That got our adrenaline going and got us pumped,� Fletcher said.
And perhaps deflated the Vikings.
�In a way it was a two-goal swing,� Miller said. �It was a huge momentum boost for us.�
But the Cardinals weren�t done.
They took a 2-0 lead about seven minutes after Oswalt�s goal when McCarty scored after she made a run toward the ball inside the 18 and shot from the middle.
The momentum was clearly on the side of the Cardinals, who beat the Vikings by scores of 2-0 and 2-1 in the regular season. McCarty then scored off an assist from Stacey Scott with 1:17 left in the first half to make it 3-0.
�We definitely wanted to come out and play our game,� McCarty said. �We knew we beat them twice, but we still knew they were a tough team and that we had to come out with intensity and put it away. We all had a great game. We had a great practice (on Monday) and we worked on shooting and I think it showed tonight.�
Miller was pleased with the Cardinals� effort after not being too thrilled with their play in the first two rounds.
�Much better,� he said. �We talked about it and came out and played a complete game. I think the girls were focused and I think they wanted to prove that they can come and play a good game.�
Jacksonville extended its lead in the second half. Oswalt scored 10 minutes into the second half while Padilla later scored on a header after a corner kick by Rachel Owens to complete the scoring.
Other than D.H. Conley�s first chance that was denied by Fletcher, the Vikings didn�t muster many opportunities.
Goalkeeper Krysten Stenclik made three saves in goal for the Cardinals before leaving the game in the waning minutes with the score in Jacksonville�s favor.
�I think we were just ready,� Fletcher said.
Now the Cardinals can turn their attention to Friday�s regional semifinal game against defending state champion White Oak. The two Onslow County rivals split in the regular season.
White Oak beat Jacksonville in the regional semifinals last year en route to the state title.
�We are excited,� McCarty said. �They�re always a tough team and it�s always a good game.�
D.H. Conley 0 0� 0
Jacksonville 3 2� 5
GOALS�J: Oswalt 2, McCarty 2, Padilla. ASSISTS�J: Leyble, Scott, Owens. IN GOAL�D: Loch (6 saves), Cooper (0 saves). J: Stenclik (3 saves), Moore (3 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL�D 6, J 11. CORNER KICKS�D 0, J 3. RECORDS�D: 14-7-1, season complete. J: 19-3-2, hosts White Oak on Friday at 6 p.m. in regional semifinals.

The Message Queue convenience class AdminConnectionFactory (defined in package com.sun.messaging) encapsulates a predefined set of configuration properties and hides details, such as the JMX Service URL, involved in obtaining a JMX connector. Example 2–1 shows the most straightforward use, obtaining a JMX connector at the default broker Port Mapper port 7676 on host localhost, with the user name and password both set to the default value of admin. After obtaining the connector, its getMBeanServerConnection method is called to obtain an MBean server connection for interacting with Message Queue MBeans.
import javax.management.remote.*; import com.sun.messaging.AdminConnectionFactory; // Create admin connection factory for default host and port (localhost:7676) AdminConnectionFactory acf = new AdminConnectionFactory(); // Get JMX connector using default user name (admin) and password (admin) JMXConnector jmxc = acf.createConnection(); // Get MBean server connection MBeanServerConnection mbsc = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection();
Example 2–2 shows how to reconfigure an admin connection factory's properties to nondefault values. Instead of using the default broker address (localhost:7676), the code shown here uses the connection factory's setProperty method to reconfigure it to connect to a broker at port 9898 on host otherhost. (The names of the connection factory's configuration properties are defined as static constants in the Message Queue utility class AdminConnectionConfiguration, defined in package com.sun.messaging.) The arguments to the factory's createConnection method are then used to supply a user name and password other than the defaults.
import javax.management.remote.*; import com.sun.messaging.AdminConnectionFactory; // Create admin connection factory AdminConnectionFactory acf = new AdminConnectionFactory(); // Configure for specific broker address acf.setProperty(AdminConnectionConfiguration.imqAddress, "otherhost:9898");
// Get JMX connector, supplying user name and password JMXConnector jmxc = acf.createConnection("AliBaba", "sesame");
// Get MBean server connection MBeanServerConnection mbsc = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection();

The four buyers, shown in descending order of ownership percentage, are Peter Laspina Jr. (49.5 percent); 25-19 34th St. Realty Corp. (34.83 percent); Riverdale Center Investors LLC (14.67 percent); and Riverdale Market LLC (1 percent).

It houses the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, DirtCheap and Planet Fitness.
The second parcel is the site of a 6,720-square-foot franchise food restaurant that was built in 2003 and sits on 1.5 acres.
Its appraisal is $549,800. And the third parcel is 1.3 acres of vacant land, according to the assessor.

Discount retailer Fred's Inc. said Thursday its June revenue at stores open at least a year rose 4.5 percent, helped by warmer weather and stronger sales of food.
Analysts expected a smaller 1.1 percent rise, according to a Thomson Reuters poll. The metric is a key measure of a retailer's health, because it excludes revenue at stores that recently opened or closed.
Total sales for the four weeks that ended July 6 rose 3 percent to $187.7 million.
CEO Bruce Efird said customer traffic and the number of transactions both improved during the month. Discounts on food items drove shoppers into stores, and warmer weather helped sales of lawn and garden products, summer toys and other seasonal goods. Results from Fred's pharmacy department also improved.
Year to date, revenue at stores open at least a year were flat, while total sales rose 1 percent to $841.6 million.
Memphis-based Fred's operates 715 stores, including 21 franchised stores, in the southeastern U.S.

Beer lovers will soon be able to get Memphis-made craft beer in a can.
Wiseacre Brewing Co. will package its two year-round beers, Tiny Bomb American Pilsner and Ananda India Pale Ale, in a can, making it the first craft brewery in Tennessee to can beer.
Wiseacre opens later this year in the Broad Avenue Historic District.
Wiseacre's Kellan Bartosch said canning the two beers would make them more portable and recyclable while delivering a better taste.
"Recent breakthroughs in canning liners have eliminated the oxidation of aluminum into beer, "Bartosch said.
"Cans protect completely from light and oxygen making them basically miniature kegs."
The beer's packaging will include distinctly Memphis flair, with Memphis native Rachel Briggs designing the artwork for the packaging of both beers.
Briggs, whose work includes illustration and photography, said she was aiming to reveal each brew's personality.
"The stories of beers and breweries conjure up special little identities in my mind, which I get to process out onto paper and eventually on a can," Briggs said.

The average U.S. rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage rose this week to 4.51 percent, a two-year high. Rates have been rising on expectations that the Federal Reserve will slow its bond purchases this year.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average on the 30-year loan jumped from 4.29 percent the previous week.
Just two months ago, it was 3.35 percent – barely above the record low of 3.31 percent.
The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage rose to 3.53 percent from 3.39 percent last week. That's the highest since August 2011.
Chairman Ben Bernanke has said the Fed could slow its bond purchases this year if the economy strengthens.
The purchases have kept rates low. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which mortgage rates typically track, has been rising.
Even with the gains, mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. Low rates have helped fuel a housing recovery that is helping to drive economic growth this year.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was 0.8 point this week, up from 0.7 point last week. The fee for a 15-year loan also rose to 0.8 point from 0.7 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage was unchanged at 2.66 percent.
The fee rose to 0.5 point from 0.4.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage rose to 3.26 percent from 3.10 percent. The fee was unchanged at 0.7 point.
A Mississippi mayor has pleaded not guilty to charges for his alleged role in a scheme run by a Memphis educator who helped teachers cheat on certification exams over a 15-year period.
Metcalfe Mayor Corey Holmes appeared Wednesday in federal court in Memphis.
He remains free on his own recognizance. No trial date has been set.
Holmes' plea was first reported by WABG-TV in Greenville.
The indictment alleges Holmes paid Clarence Mumford in 2008 to have a ringer take three different exams – one each in Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. The ringer had Holmes' Social Security card and paid for the exam with Mumford's credit card.
Holmes is charged with wire fraud, conspiracy and Social Security fraud.
If convicted, Holmes could be sentenced to up to five years.

The picture below shows a six-year-old boy lying in hospital in the Taiyuan, Shanxi province of China. Chinese police are now searching for a woman who is believed to have gouged the eyes of the child out, according to Reuters.
Beijing Cream has translated one (extremely graphic) local TV news feature on the boy, who is named Binbin. According to the translation, Binbin went outside to play around 5 or 6pm. An hour or two later his mother tried to get him to come back inside but could not find him.
The boy was finally found around 11pm, covered in blood. While being rushed to the hospital, the boy apparently told his father that someone had grabbed him and told him "Don't cry. Don't cry and I won't gouge out your eyes."
According to the boy's mother, a woman lured the boy into a field after asking him if anybody in his home played the game mahjong, Xinhua reports. Police initially suspected that China's black market for organs played a role, but this has been ruled out after the eyes were found at the scene with the corneas still attached, the agency reports. Chinese state newspaper Global Times reports that local police are offering a 100,000 yuan ($16,335) reward for the identity of the suspect.
While the boy is not in any immediate danger, he will not be able to see again. The boy has reportedly not been told this yet.
"He asks why the sky is always dark [...] and why the dawn still hasn't come," one Chinese newspaper quoted an uncle of the boy as saying, according to the BBC.

Boulder gal gets picked for Playboy – and KFC's Double Down on the buns of CSU coeds at Saturday's game
She's the Face of Denver. At least for October.
Boulder's Kem Minnick showed up for a Playboy casting call last month and, along with 10 other women, were picked from the crowd to represent our fair city on a Playboy website.
"The whole thing was very tastefully done and a great experience!" Minnick writes me.
In a subsequent interview, Minnick explained that she was honored to be a 41-year-old, chosen to pose in the buff for Playboy.

A guide to 10 baby-sleep guides, old and new.
A bumper crop of new sleep books has joined the old standbys, offering philosophies and techniques to fit every parent's and baby's needs and temperament. The tricky part is finding the perfect fit for you. Here is our guide to 10 baby-sleep guides, old and new:
EXPERT/BOOK SLEEP PHILOSOPHY BEST SUITED FOR American Academy of Pediatrics/George J. Cohen, M.D., American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Sleep: Birth Through Adolescence (Villard, 1999) By the time a baby is 6 to 12 weeks old, he should begin to sleep for six hours a night but may need help with self-soothing. Put baby in crib awake but drowsy. Middle-of-the-road types who don't believe in stringent sleep training. T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., and Joshua D. Sparrow, M.D., Sleep: The Brazelton Way (Perseus Publishing, 2003) Start sleep training at 4 months; offer soothing words like "you can do it"; and ultimately be ready for 5-10 minutes of crying before sleep. Parents who want advice from a real expert and aren't put off by a little crying. Richard Ferber, M.D., Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised and Expanded Edition (Fireside, 2006) Structured sleep plan for babies 6 months and older. A less rigid version of the original "Ferberizing," which calls for 5-, 10- and 15-minute intervals of crying interspersed with comforting. Parents who want more control and really want or need their baby to sleep alone—and want to know what to do when this is accomplished. James McKenna, Ph.D., Sleeping With Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping (Platypus Media, 2007) Co-sleeping—either in the same bed, same room or a bedside bassinet—is the healthiest option for mom and baby when done safely. Avowed "babywearers" who want the facts about the benefits of co-sleeping. Jodi Mindell, Ph.D., Sleep Deprived No More: From Early Pregnancy to Early Motherhood—Helping You and Your Baby Sleep Through the Night (Da Capo Lifelong Books, 2007) Concentrates on pregnancy, then new motherhood. A gentle philosophy with an emphasis on tiredness clues, sleep schedules, bedtime routines and putting your baby down drowsy but awake. Parents who cherish their sleep and want to sleep well themselves, starting in pregnancy and all the way through parenthood. Elizabeth Pantley, The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night (McGraw-Hill, 2002) More than a "cry-it-out" guide, with a detailed sleeping log and 10-step customized plan. "Test mommies" give advice about solving sleep problems. With a foreword by William Sears, M.D., this book is also in the attachment-parenting camp but is for parents who want an organized plan of attack. William Sears, M.D., The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night's Rest for the Whole Family (Little, Brown and Company, 2005) From the father of attachment parenting, techniques for developing a "nighttime parenting style" that encourages bonding, such as baby "wearing" and co-sleeping. Attachment-parenting aficionados or other parents who want to be close to their babies at night. Cathryn Tobin, M.D., The Lull-A-Baby Sleep Plan (Rodale, 2006) A kindler, gentler training method based on the Window of Opportunity when your child will naturally learn how to sleep, which Tobin says opens at about 6 weeks and closes at 6 months. Parents who are advocates of the tender-loving-care approach but want some specific tools. Jennifer Waldburger, L.C.S.W., and Jill Spivack, L.M.S.W., The Sleepeasy Solution: The Exhausted Parent's Guide to Getting Your Child to Sleep—from Birth to Age 5 (Health Communications, Inc., 2007) These celebrity baby sleep coaches' approach, which they say yields results in less than a week, is a "least-cry" customized plan that entails "sleep planners" you can download from their website. Parents who want the advice of Hollywood "sleep coaches to the stars" without having to pay a hefty price. Marc Weissbluth, M.D., Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, 3rd Edition (Ballantine Books, 2005) Advocates consistent naps and early bedtimes. Urges parents to look for their baby's drowsy state as a tiredness cue. Baby-centered parents who want some control over their child's sleep.

What do the seasons taste like? Does April's first asparagus mean the shedding of winter's chill? And does butternut squash suggest autumn?
For Mike Isabella, chef/owner of Graffiato in Washington, D.C., it is the other way around: the seasons bring the flavor of local.
"The most rewarding things that I've heard are the comments," explains Isabella, talking about feedback from his customers. Regarding the sweet corn agnolotti from his seasonal menu, "The best thing I could hear was, 'Oh wow, this tastes like summer.'"
"Top Chef" finalist Isabella has joined dozens of chefs and restaurateurs across the country for the second annual Dine Out for FarmsTM week, where chefs demonstrate their support for local farms through their gifted culinary talents. The event, held from October 16-22, is a celebration of delicious food and the farmers and land needed to grow it.
The connection between local farms and restaurants has been growing steadily over recent years. According to the National Restaurant Association, top menu trends in 2011 have centered on locally and sustainably sourced food items.
For Isabella, working to source the freshest ingredients at his restaurant is more than an appeal to consumer demand.
"The more support we get from the chefs, the more we help the farmers out," explains Isabella. "The more we help the farmers out, we get better product on the table. It's a way that we can help the farmers grow, and help get the prices [on the menu] down."
"It's not just about it being good," he explains. "It's about it being good, seasonal and local."

Simpson may not have wished for trouble, but he kept writing for 60 years — spare, powerful poems about war, infidelity, suburban alienation and other modern ailments that brought a Pulitzer Prize and wide recognition as a perceptive, if cynical, analyst of the American dream.
A native Jamaican of Scottish and Russian descent, Simpson died in his sleep Sept. 14 in Stony Brook, N.Y. He was 89 and had Alzheimer's disease, said his daughter, Anne B. Simpson.
In 1964, when he was an assistant professor of English at UC Berkeley, Simpson won the Pulitzer for "At the End of the Open Road" (1963), a collection of poems that examined the national character with grit and irony.
"He was the exemplary writer of narrative poetry in America," said poet and critic Mark Jarman of Vanderbilt University. "If you compare him to novelists of his generation, from Saul Bellow through John Updike, he was recording American life as accurately, vividly and, I think, more memorably than many of them."
Simpson was often described as an heir to Walt Whitman for his ability to tell stories through poetry about ordinary life. But unlike the generally optimistic Whitman, Simpson viewed America through a darker lens shaped by boatloads of unhappiness and doubt.
He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on March 27, 1923. His Russian mother met his lawyer father when she went to Jamaica as an extra in a movie starring Annette Kellerman, the swimmer and silent-era film star. His mother moved to New York after the couple divorced but Louis stayed in Jamaica with his father, who quickly remarried.
When Louis was 16, his father died and his stepmother booted him and his brother out of the house. He moved to New York to live with his mother and learned that her family was Jewish. He later discovered that his father was part black.
While a student at Columbia University, Simpson was drafted into the Army and served with the 101st Airborne Division in Normandy, Arnhem and the Battle of the Bulge. He landed at Utah Beach in 1944 with bombers firing overhead, ran messages through fields dense with corpses and saw a German soldier's flesh melt down the side of a burning tank. He nearly lost his feet to frostbite.
When he resumed his studies at Columbia, he had a Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts and psychic wounds that would not heal. He had a mental breakdown in 1946 and spent six months in a psychiatric hospital, where he saw a guard beat a patient to death.
For years afterward the war returned in disturbing flashbacks, some of which found new purpose in poems such as his widely cited "Carentan O Carentan," a meditation on death:
There is a whistling in the leaves
And it is not the wind,
The twigs are falling from the knives
That cut men to the ground.
Although he had wanted to write novels, he turned to poetry because shorter works were all his ravaged mind could sustain. At Columbia, he finished his bachelor's degree in 1948 and a master's in 1950, both in English. He worked as an editor and earned a doctorate in comparative literature from Columbia in 1959.
By then he was on the second of his three marriages, all of which ended in divorce. In addition to his daughter Anne of Pasadena, he is survived by two sons, Matthew, of Acton, Mass., and Anthony of West Hollywood; and two grandchildren.
He taught for eight years at UC Berkeley, leaving in 1967 to join the faculty at State University of New York at Stony Brook and retired from there in 1993.
The postwar decades brought major shifts in his writing, from the formalism of his early years that brought comparisons to English poet W.H. Auden to the free verse and more conversational tone of his later periods. Critics recognized "At the End of the Open Road," his Pulitzer-winning volume, as a stylistic watershed; Edward Hirsch in the Washington Post called it "one of the tours de force of American poetry in the '60s."
For Simpson, the open road led to California. But, as he wrote in the first poem in the collection, "In California," he did not find paradise there:
Here I am, troubling the dream coast
With my New York face,
Bearing among the realtors
And tennis-players my dark preoccupation.
His disappointment peaked in the poem "Walt Whitman at Bear Mountain," in which Simpson, playing on Whitman's celebratory "Song of the Open Road," lamented the disintegration of the American dream:
"Where are you, Walt?
The Open Road goes to the used-car lot.
Where is the nation you promised?"
Sometimes, his disillusionment was a cause for wry commentary, as in "Sacred Objects":
I am taking part in a great experiment —
whether writers can live peacefully in the suburbs
and not be bored to death.
As Whitman said, an American muse
installed amid the kitchen ware.
Simpson survived the wasteland, producing more than 18 volumes of poetry, including "Searching for the Ox" (1976), "In the Room We Share" (1990), "The Owner of the House" (2003), and "Struggling Times" (2009).
He also wrote a novel, critical studies of poets such as Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath and Allen Ginsberg, and autobiographical works, including "North of Jamaica" (1972) and "The King My Father's Wreck" (1995).
Widely anthologized in the 1960s and '70s, his work was noticeably absent from some later surveys, omissions that Jarman speculated may have had more to do with Simpson's acerbic personality than the quality of his writing. He did not suffer fools, especially not fellow poets and poetry editors.
"Louis could dress you down in a rather scathing way you never forgot," observed Jarman, who was stung by Simpson's criticisms on more than one occasion. "He took poetry seriously. People like that need to be valued, no matter how prickly they are."
"Popular taste," said Whitman
"will be taking precedence
in the arts." The old man seems
to have thought that people
would be avidly reading
the poetry of Walt Whitman.
I'm sorry, Walt, but the public
these days doesn't read anything.
The public watches TV.
That's all right by me.
Popularity out of the way,
we can get on with art…

This elegant fig and raspberry crumble is perfect for a fall harvest dinner. Its beauty comes from the fruit: The figs and raspberries are flash-broiled and therefore hold their sensuous shapes and vibrant colors. We suggest you use both golden and red raspberries, as the visual impact is stunning. The port-glazed figs add a depth of flavor to this otherwise simple crumble. The port reduction takes little time, and if you have made the crumble topping in advance, the rest of this recipe should take no more than 5 minutes.–Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson
Fig and Mixed-Color Raspberry Crumble
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6
- For the vanilla crumb
- 1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (5 1/4 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed (1 7/8 ounces) light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- For the crumble
- 1 cup cold Vanilla Crumb
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup tawny port
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 10 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
- 1/2 dry pint (1 cup or 4 1/2 ounces) red and golden raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream, for serving
- Make the vanilla crumb
- 1. Combine the flour, sugars, salt and butter in the bowl of a food processor or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. If using a food processor, pulse until the mixture is the texture of coarse crumbs. With a stand mixer, combine on low speed, also until the texture of coarse crumbs. Drizzle the vanilla over the mixture and either pulse or mix briefly to distribute the vanilla.
- Make the crumble
- 2. Preheat the broiler.
- 3. Melt the butter in a 9-inch broilerproof saute pan. Stir in the sugar, port, and salt and bring to a simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by a third. Add the figs in a single layer, skin side down, and return to a simmer. The figs will begin to release their juices; once they do so, continue simmering until the liquid is once again reduced by a third.
- 4. Top with the raspberries and the cold Vanilla Crumb, then place the cumble under the broiler. Broil until the crumb turns golden and the raspberries have started to release their juices, 2 to 5 minutes. Be sure not to walk away from the oven; the timing is crucial and the dessert could burn in just a few seconds. As broilers perform differently, there is no set time for baking this dessert.
- 5. Spoon the crumble into individual bowls and serve with the cream in a pitcher on the side.
For storage
- The Vanilla Crumb can be stored in a plastic bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. However, this crumble does not keep. It is meant to be served and consumed as soon as it is pulled from the oven.

I enjoyed reading this book because I felt my emotions changing with the story. Sometimes I felt sad, like when Snow Bear gets locked up in jail or when Bruun cannot find his way home. Other times I felt happy, luke when Bruun brought Snow Bear some fish to eat. The pictures are great, especially when the blizzard blows in. It looks like it is really happening!
I recommend this book for just about any age, but especially for kids my age. The boy in the story, Bruun, is about the same age as me and he is courageous. He inspires me to have courage when I don't always see the path ahead. This is a great book about true friendship!

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - A Scarsdale husband and wife received a scare early on Wednesday morning when two masked men were rummaging through their home, prompting a physical altercation.
Shortly after 2:15 a.m. on Wednesday, April 19, a Berwick Road resident reported to police that two masked men were in her home, prompting an intervention from first responders.
According to Scarsdale Police Capt. Thomas Altizio, police were on the scene in less than three minutes, where they then began interviewing the victims while additional units canvassed the immediate area in search of the suspects.
Altizio said that the victims reported that they were in bed when they were woken up by the sounds of two men running through the home. Both the husband and wife confronted the two suspects, and a physical altercation broke out between the homeowners and suspects, who managed to flee the scene.
Members of the Scarsdale Police Department's Investigations Section responded to the residence and are forensically processing the scene and collecting physical evidence. The suspects have not been located and no arrests have been made. It was not immediately disclosed if the suspects took any items from the residence.
The investigation into the burglary is ongoing. Anyone with information regarding the incident can confidentially call investigators with the Scarsdale Police Department at (914) 722-1200.

(Reuters) - Carnegie Mellon University is asking a court to make Marvell Technology Group Ltd pay up to three times the $1.17 billion jury verdict that the chipmaker was ordered to pay in December for patent infringement.
The university filed papers Monday in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, saying Marvell knew it was using Carnegie Mellon patents wrongfully and should pay up to triple damages as a result. Carnegie Mellon also is seeking $321 million in pre-judgment interest.
In its filing, Carnegie Mellon noted that the judge has discretion on how to calculate any enhanced damages, and could award less than triple the jury's award.
Marvell, whose chips are used for reading and writing data on hard-disk drives, is seeking to overturn the jury's findings that it infringed two Carnegie Mellon patents. The award is one of the biggest by a U.S. jury in a patent case and follows the $1.05 billion that Apple Inc was awarded against Samsung Electronics in a case over smartphone design last August.
U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer has set a May 1 hearing to consider final judgment in the Marvell case.
Marvell did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. Attorney Mark Knedeisen of K&L Gates, who represents the university, declined to comment.
Carnegie Mellon sued the chipmaker in March 2009 over patents issued to the university in 2001 and 2002. The Pittsburgh university said at least nine Marvell circuit devices incorporated the patents, and that the infringement let the company sell billions of chips using the technology without permission.
In Monday's court papers, the university argued that Marvell knowingly and repeatedly copied the university's patents. A finding that a defendant acted willfully in patent cases allows a court to impose damages of up to three times the jury verdict.
The university also said it is entitled to interest for the period from March 2003 until January 14 of this year, when the court formally recognized the jury verdict. It has also asked for unspecified interest for the period since the verdict.
Carnegie Mellon also asked the judge to issue a permanent injunction to prevent Marvell from continuing to infringe its patents.
The university said there is a risk Marvell will not pay the judgment, noting that the company's regulatory filings do not mention setting aside reserves to pay the university.
Marvell is based in Hamilton, Bermuda. Its U.S. operating unit Marvell Semiconductor Inc is based in Santa Clara, California, and was also a defendant in the case.
Marvell's shares fell more than 10 percent following the December 26 verdict, closing that day at $7.40. Since then, its shares have climbed and closed up 9 cents at $9.55 on the Nasdaq on Monday.
The case is Carnegie Mellon University v. Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. et al, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, No. 09-00290.

Monochromatic, ain't we all love its simplicity. Well, me personally have this huge crush on any simplistic concepts, and this one from Sergey Baskakov is inevitably included. It's a render, so what you see below and forth, might or might not applicable to your current situation, but still, it's a huge crush for me. A crush from the first sight, for you too it might.
This designer dude is Russian, from one of industrial city in Russia named Kemerovo. He crafted his awesome works which display striking contemporary areas with almost no colors, i repeat almost, and mix the contrasting play to compose this kind of tidy and stark differentiation among some of the space's white base fundamental room canvases along with its plain black interiors.
There are some ingredients play and mix in these designs, as you might later see that some of the renders are having this light creme grain wood floor, others are in a plain white, and some are in some white cream marbles. This flooring plain color holding the main factor that encased the whole simple scheme which continuously answered by it's simple white wall, and black accents covered by its interiors and furniture.

When jammed full of plugs and adapters your typical power bar is an eyesore you're happy to stash out of sight. But Punkt's new ES 01 wrangles all your power cables in a beautiful UFO-like design that you just might want to put on display right next to the photos of your kids.
Available in versions for varying outlet styles around the world, the ES 01 comes with a cover that not only keeps it looking neat and tidy, but also helps prevent the plugs from accidentally being knocked loose. Each unit expands a single outlet into five, although there's a good chance your beefier wall warts might not be able to squeeze under that cover. There's no pricing info just yet, but when the ES 01 is finally available you'll be able to snag one in red, white, or black to match or complement most office decors.

Cloudy Grey Beer???
I made a strawberry wheat beer (using fresh strawberries) and its sitting in the secondary...its been there almost three weeks now and its got this funky green grey color to it. It smells great but the color looks like a baby diper. I think Im gonna throw it in the fridge for a couple days and bottle it. Its definately not one I would serve to company...or they would drink once they looked at it...will the fridge clear it up?

If it tastes ok you might consider using a clarifying agent of some kind before you put it in the fridge ( Gelatin etc ). It might be some funky protein suspension that a strawberry may give off. If not have a halloween party and tell your friends you meant to do that.

Politics & Government
Spending hike sought to help end veterans' homelessness
WASHINGTON — Darren Spencer, a 39-year-old Army veteran from Tacoma, Wash., found himself homeless after losing his $15.45-an-hour job as a furniture mover a year ago. He takes pills for his depression and has trouble hearing. He has no car, and his unemployment benefits ran out in December.
But Spencer considers himself lucky on one count: Last August, he got a voucher from the federal government to help pay the $725 monthly rent for his apartment in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood, where he lives with his 18-year-old son, Lamont.
"I still have a lot of stress, but that's one thing I don't have to stress about," Spencer said. "It's still hard, but at least now I have a place to stay."
Spencer is among thousands of beneficiaries of a federal effort to end all homelessness among veterans by 2015. It's a lofty goal as the nation gears up to accommodate another 1 million service members who are set to return home from war in the next five years
To get the job done, President Barack Obama and the Veterans Affairs Department are thinking big, asking Congress to increase spending for veterans homeless programs by 33 percent next year, to $1.35 billion.
On Capitol Hill, Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state is the champion of the cause, making the issue a centerpiece of her tenure as the chair of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee.
Last year, when some Republicans in the House of Representatives proposed eliminating 10,000 vouchers as a way to save $75 million from the 2011 federal budget, Murray led the fight to get the money reinstated. At the time, Republicans defended the plan by saying that many of the vouchers weren't being used, but the program has won plenty of bipartisan backing and critics have been largely silent this year.
"I can't tell you how many people have come up to me on the street who tell me stories of having lived on the streets, out of Dumpsters, in horrible conditions, and because of a voucher have got a place to live and are now back . ... My passion comes from that," Murray said in an interview.
Murray, who also heads the Senate Housing Appropriations Subcommittee, called the president's latest budget request "absolutely essential" and said the administration's timetable was laudable.
"We'd all like to end it tomorrow," Murray said. "But it's the first time they've set a goal of doing this, which really focuses everybody on what we are doing."
Last week, when the Department of Housing and Urban Development sent out $73 million in voucher aid to public housing agencies in all 50 states, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan called the level of homelessness among veterans a "national disgrace."
According to the government's latest count, 67,495 of the nation's 22 million veterans were homeless last year. That was a nearly 12 percent drop from a year earlier, when the government found 76,329 veterans in emergency shelters or living in their cars, abandoned buildings or on the streets. If Congress approves the new funding request, VA Secretary Eric Shinseki told Congress last month, the number of homeless veterans will fall to 35,000 next year.
But Murray, the first woman to lead the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, is none too pleased with the VA's performance in one key area: She says far too many female veterans are falling through the cracks and getting inferior service when they do find their way to government shelters.
While the overall numbers have declined, the number of homeless female veterans more than doubled from 2006 to 2010, rising from 1,380 to 3,328.
A report last month by the VA's inspector general found that women face serious safety and security shortcomings in shelters, especially those who experienced sexual trauma in the military. Investigators found women assigned to live in mixed-gender facilities with bedrooms and bathrooms that lacked sufficient locks, and halls and stairways that didn't have proper lighting. In one case, a woman and her 18-month-old son were assigned to a building that housed a homeless male veteran who was a registered sex offender.
"Sometimes they stay on the street because it's more safe than going into a facility that doesn't have locked doors or separate bathrooms," Murray said. "Or in some cases where these women have children, there's no place for their children. ... That is really an outrage to me."
Spencer, who served six years in the military after he joined at age 18, said he'd been frustrated with the VA because he wanted more help with his mental health issues. He said he thought he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder but that he'd received medication only for depression.
"It's just been pill after pill after pill," he said.
For the last 15 years, he said, he's worked a variety of jobs, "from a steamboat to a billy goat — I've done it all." His jobs included grinding metal at a foundry, working in warehouses as a shipping clerk and forklift operator, even helping to produce a radio show. He said he had to file for bankruptcy in 2005 and that it had been difficult for him to maintain either a job or a place to live.
"No matter how much I tried, every two steps I would go forward there would be five steps taking me back," he said. "It just seemed like somebody had their foot on my neck and I could not get up."
Each voucher, which is provided by the HUD-VA Supportive Housing Program, is worth roughly $7,500, with veterans paying no more than 30 percent of their incomes for rent. Local housing programs help HUD and the VA administer the program.
Since he lost his unemployment benefits, Spencer said, he's been relying on "the grace of God" to survive, along with timely temporary jobs such as helping friends or acquaintances move.
Without a federal housing voucher, he said, he has no doubts that he'd be homeless again.
"It's been a big load off of my shoulders," Spencer said. "And it just feels good to be able to say I have a place to stay, and my kid has a place to lay his head."

News editor
Hillsboro Community Hospital's parent company, HMC/CAH Consolidated Inc., exited from Chapter 11 bankruptcy after 15 months of reorganization on Jan. 17.
All 12 of the company's hospitals — located in rural communities — remain in operation following the reorganization. The company filed for bankruptcy protection on Oct. 11, 2011.
"While the hospital staff was very happy to see HMC/CAH emerge from Chapter 11, throughout the past 15 months the attitude of the employees was very positive that HMC would be successful in emerging," hospital CEO Marion Regier said.
As part of its reorganization, the company sold its management rights to a new company named Rural Community Hospitals of America LLC that will operate independently. Former HMC/CAH CEO Larry Arthur is now the CEO of Rural Community Hospitals of America.
HMC/CAH had planned to build a new hospital on the northeast corner of Hillsboro and even had a groundbreaking ceremony in December 2010. But financing fell through in January 2011, leading to the company's bankruptcy reorganization.
Neither Arthur nor Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning and Corporate Compliance Trent Skaggs could be reached for comment about whether construction of a new hospital in Hillsboro might be on the horizon again after the company's reorganization.
Hillsboro Community Hospital has been profitable for several years running, Skaggs said in October 2011. Regier confirmed that was the case again in 2012.
HMC/CAH owns 12 hospitals, all in rural communities.
