Apple adds Jelly Bean, Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 and Samsung GALAXY Nexus in latest patent suit
allegedly infringe on Apple patents. According to Apple attorney Andrew Liao, these 17 devices should be added to Apple's claims because they can support a stylus even though none of them shipped with one. Amongst the 17 is the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, which Apple says is the only Android device with Jelly Bean that it will add to the suit. Samsung attorney Victoria Maroulis says the Korean firm is against adding the stylus enabled devices to the suit, stating that it will "enlarge the case significantly." She also pointed out that while Apple wants to add 17 devices, Samsung wants to add just one, the Apple iPhone 5. Judge Lucy Koh previously placed a preliminary injunction against the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, a decision that was overturned by an appeals court that said that Judge Koh absued her discretion.

Our favorite nurse-themed calendars
A nurse without a calendar is like…a fish without fins? A snowman without snow? Actually, a nurse without a calendar is very likely to forget to come in to work, particularly if she has an ever-changing schedule. So what types of calendars are there that might appeal to nurses? We at Scrubs went on a calendar hunt and this is what we brought home for you.
Vintage is back! Whether it’s because of the popularity of the hit TV show Mad Men or it’s just that we’re getting older and want to look back, vintage everything is coming back—from trendy dresses to pop art. So, why not a Vintage Nurses calendar? The advantage of this calendar is that it can also be personalized.
For a dose of humor and some nice pictures, many nurses like the Nurses: A Year’s Dose of Humor 2011 Wall Calendar. This monthly calendar has been published for a few years to great reviews.
If you like bold colors and photos, you may enjoy the Nurses Light the Way Calendar. It’s customizable, and the beautiful color palettes and art make it worth saving at the end of the year.
Maybe this is more for the | radiologist, but we couldn’t help but grin at this X-Ray Skeleton themed calendar.
Of course, we can’t forget the student nurses in our lives—and the calendar makers haven’t, either. This 2011 Student Nurse Calendar has a unique NCLEX-style design.

JUPITER, Fla. - Less than two weeks after having his appendix removed, Reggie Sanders returned to the St. Louis Cardinals’ lineup and homered in a 13-10 loss to the New York Mets on Monday.
Sanders was removed from the lineup March 17 because of abdominal pain. He had surgery the following day, and spent two days in the hospital before being released.
“I still feel a little weak but I expect to be at full strength opening day,” Sanders said. As for the solo home run in the third inning, Sanders said with a smile, “It sure felt good.”
Sanders, who hit.260 with 22 home runs and 67 RBIs with the Cardinals last season, said he started light workouts five days after having surgery.
Manager Tony La Russa thinks Sanders should | be ready for the regular season.
“He still has some work to do but I expect him to be ready,” La Russa said.
Mike Piazza hit a two-run homer in the third for the Mets, and Scott Rolen had a grand slam in the Cardinals’ seven-run sixth inning and Albert Pujols also connected for St. Louis.
“It was a tough day to pitch for everybody. Matt wasn’t as sharp as he has been,” La Russa said.

NEW YORK -- As its hurricane relief donations near the $1 billion mark, more than double all other charities combined, the American Red Cross is encountering sharp criticism of its efforts and mounting pressure to share funds with smaller groups.

See how the arched Earth does here
Rise in a perfect Hemisphere!
The stiffest Compass could not strike
A line more circular and like;
Nor softest Pensel draw a Brow.
So equal as this Hill does bow.
It seems as for a Model laid,
And that the World by it was made.
Here learn ye Mountains more unjust,
Which to abrupter greatness thrust,
That do with your hook-shoulder'd height
The Earth deform and Heaven frght.
For whose excrescence ill design'd,
Nature must a new Center find,
Learn here those humble steps to tread,
Which to securer Glory lead.
See what a soft access and wide
Lyes open to its grassy side;
Nor with the | rugged path deterrs
The feet of breathless Travellers.
See then how courteous it ascends,
And all the way ir rises bends;
Nor for it self the height does gain,
But only strives to raise the Plain.
Yet thus it all the field commands,
And in unenvy'd Greatness stands,
Discerning furthe then the Cliff

(NewsUSA) - It's easy to instantly trim your energy consumption and boost the eco-friendliness of your home. The key to easy energy savings is lighting, but for many homeowners and renters, knowing how and what to do to improve their home's lighting efficiency can be confusing.
To alleviate that confusion, the American Lighting Association (ALA) offers some easy energy-saving steps:
1. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents (CFLs). To make an immediate impact on your energy consumption -- and your utility bill -- swap out your most-used incandescent bulbs with CFLs. "It's the easiest way to start improving your energy efficiency," says Joe Rey-Barreau, education consultant for the ALA and an associate professor at | the University of Kentucky's School of Interior Design. To find the right CFL for you, look at the color temperature listed on the bulb package label. Choose a bulb labeled "residential color," "warm" or "soft white."
2. Replace dimmable incandescent bulbs with dimmable CFLs. As the color range of CFLs has improved, so has their ability to be dimmed, and dimmable bulbs are proven to decrease energy use. However, CFLs still do not have the dimming range of incandescents.
3. Buy name brands. It is frustrating to invest | [

Museum of Endangered Sounds: Voice in the Shell
May 29th, 2012
Consumer technology is progressing at an ever-increasing pace that we probably won’t be able to keep track of all the changes. One element that’s changing is the sound that our gadgets make – or lack thereof. The lively bleeps and growls of the machines we grew up with have disappeared or been replaced with less memorable ones. One man has setup an online museum – i.e. a website – to preserve the sounds of old technology.
The Museum of Endangered Sounds is the work of Brendan Chilcutt. Despite its ambiguous and lofty name, Chilcutt started the website this January simply “to preserve the sounds made famous by my favorite old technologies and electronics equipment.” The operative words being “my favorite” and not “all of.” Check it out and be swept by a wave of nostalgia or noise, depending on how old and geeky you are.
Chilcutt hopes to finish collecting the sounds by 2015 and eventually combine them all into a glorious binary composition. I imagine it will | herald the robot uprising. If that day comes, then I hope that further into that bleak future a geeky robot will also long for the sounds that humans make and preserve them too. Oh | [

As noted in the previous posting the Smoot-Hawley Act in the US invited trade retaliation from the US's trading partners. Jim Powell has been discussing these retaliations in the Washington Times. He writes,
On June 17, 1930, Hoover signed what became known as the Smoot-Hawley Act. It was named after Utah Sen. Reed Smoot and Oregon Rep. Willis C. Hawley, both Republicans. The law raised import duties an average of 59 percent on more than 25,000 agricultural commodities and manufactured goods. Smoot-Hawley was a factor in the subsequent plunge of the stock market and the doubling of unemployment within a year. More than 60 countries retaliated with restrictions against whichever products would inflict the worst losses on Americans.But did any of this actually help the farmers that the act was supposed to help?

DULUTH, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) - Firing a weapon in the line of duty is the kind of event that can change a police officer's life forever and causes many to quit the job.
Last August, one Duluth Police Sergeant's training paid-off in a scenario most officers never have to face.
Sergeant Brad Wick earned top honors in Minnesota for his actions and his service.
It's a night the 26-year police veteran, Sergeant Brad Wick, constantly replays in his head.
"You would go through it, over and over and over again and wonder that if something would have changed what would have happened," said Wick.
It was a Sunday, August 28, when Wick and another officer set out to arrest Brian Butala a man accused in a drug store robbery.
"Things never work out the way you had planned," said Wick.
When they spotted the suspect a car chase ensued, and Butala and his accomplice, forced their way into the home of a young woman.
"We didn't even have the opportunity to talk, but we just looked at each other and knew we had to go into that house at that time," said Wick.
Upon entering, Butala shot | the young woman in the leg, and then fired at the officers, setting off a barrage of bullets.
"All my training I ever had kicked in. I never had to think of one thing that happened, from returning fire to going for cover," said Wick.
Wick fatally shot Butala, possibly saved the life of the woman inside the house.

Abstract: Why say "representative anecdote" rather than simply "representative"? The addition of "anecdote" follows from Burke’s theorizing of language as "a part of" rather than "apart from" reality. This theoretical model allows Burke to combine realism with linguistic skepticism. This model also suggests how ecocriticism may combine antifoundationalism with a foundational ecological realism. Tentative exploration of the possibilities of a representative anecdote for Burkean ecocriticism considers Burke’s discussions of technology, apocalypse ("Towards Helhaven"), "our biologic genius" (Permanence and Change), and "Counter-Nature," with anecdotal material drawn from Karen Tei Yamashita’s prize-winning, experimental novel, Through the Arc of Rain Forest.

The Ford truck F-150 model based off of the SVT Raptor vehicle for the 2011 year is only of the most hotly anticipated vehicles to come out in recent manufacturer design years. With a dramatically powerful 6.2-liter v-8 engine, SuperCrew performance, and excellent horsepower, this vehicle is truly top of its class in comparison with other full size pickup trucks.

One of the best traditional Budget games is interpreting the cryptic hints dropped by finance ministers in the lead-up to the big day.
Labour's former Finance Minister Michael Cullen took to this game with some relish, gyrating in his own interpretative version of the Dance of the Seven Veils in the lead-up to every Budget he delivered. Sometimes it was all a big tease and there was nothing under those veils. Sometimes there was a big surprise: Working for Families, interest-free student loans, KiwiSaver.
Finance Minister Bill English, however, takes the more minimalistic approach of the Dance of One Veil.
English's approach to Budgets is less the big bang approach than the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock approach: he measures it out in coffee spoons.
So by and large the most significant Budget initiatives have been pre-announced in dribbles over the past few weeks.

Small baby swaddled in creamy caramel blankets clutched to her chest, the woman in the supermarket line in front of me rattled on happily about the birth of her newest child, wondering that six weeks had already flown by.

A judge has ruled in favor of Apple in it's copyright-infringement case against Psystar, who build and sell Mac clones running Apple's OS X. According to CNET, the ruling does not include an injunction against Miami-based Psystar as Apple have not yet asked for one.
Apple and Psystar both requested a summary judgement, which is a determination made by the judge based on the case's merits. In his ruling, U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup wrote, "In sum, Psystar has violated Apple's exclusive reproduction right, distribution right, and right to create derivative works."
Cupertino-based Apple filed its suit in July 2008, just months after Psystar began selling the Mac clones. Psystar believed it was legally allowed to run Apple's Mac OS X operating system on non-Apple machines, however Apple denied this and stated that the end user license agreement permits use on Apple computers only.
The judge rejected Psystar's contention that it was fair use, stating that the company "does not even attempt to address the four factors used to determine fair use." The | Miami-based company also contended that it fell under the "first sale" doctrine, which permits someone who buys copyrighted material to then sell it on. Alsup stated that this doctrine only applies to legal copies, not to "unauthorized copies" produced by Psystar.

Old disease, new problems for Texas cattle industry
Rounding Up TB
Cattle have long been a symbol of Texas, and they're still part of the landscape. According to the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA), Texas farms and ranches are home to about 15 million head of cattle, more than any other state. A 2001 Texas A&M University report says the cattle industry contributes more than $15 billion annually to the state's economy. Recently, however, an old enemy of Texas livestock has posed a new threat to the state's cattle industry.
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is caused by infectious bacteria and can spread to all warm-blooded animals, including humans. Efforts to eradicate it in the U.S. started in 1917, and according to the Texas Cooperative Extension, those efforts reduced the disease's occurrence in the national cattle population from 5 percent in 1917 to just 0.015 percent in 1990. But despite TB's rarity, it is still causing problems.
In 2000, following five consecutive years with no confirmed cases of TB | in 252 of the state's 254 counties, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recognized Texas as TB-free, allowing the unrestricted transportation and sale of Texas cattle to other states and countries. Portions of El Paso and Hudspeth counties have recurring bovine-TB cases, so the USDA restricts the transport and sale of cattle from those areas, which the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) refers to as the El Paso Movement Restriction Zone (MRZ).

This recipe is...
White Beans with Garlic and Arugula
1 cup Basic Chicken Stock (see recipe), or low-sodium canned
1/2 carrot, sliced into 1" pieces
1/2 stalk celery, sliced into 1" pieces
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped pancetta
1 clove garlic, chopped
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup washed and stemmed arugula
2. Drain beans, put them in a pot and add the chicken stock, carrot, celery and enough water to cover the beans by an inch or so.
3. Bring to a simmer uncovered over medium-high heat. Do not boil. Skim foam that comes to the surface. (Do not add salt because it will prevent the beans from becoming tender.)
4. When the beans are tender, about 1 hour, remove from heat. Drain and discard the carrot and celery. Set beans aside. (The cannellini beans can be cooked ahead of time, covered and refrigerated up to 3 days.)
5. In a large | skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
6. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper, and heat thoroughly.
7. Turn off the heat and gently fold in the arugula leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Robert Scoble sharing his thoughts on why angry birds could turn into a major identity player.
I never understood what people find so interesting and addicting in angry birds. I downloaded the app one night and played a bit before going to bed and that was it. Also, only a small percentage of people I know play or have heard of angry birds (hint: they all are people I follow on twitter). But then again I guess that’s MY world.
Now Robert Scoble sees angry birds players everywhere and believes, after having seen some things that are coming out in the future, this obsession is going to last forever. As a result he thinks that the game can become a social network that we can use instead of (or adjacent to, didn’t quite get that part of his post) facebook.
But that’s HIS world.
There are three very basic reasons that Scoble is wrong with this one:
- Angry Birds will never reach facebook’s numbers. Some of my friends’ parents are on facebook. That’s because all | you need is a PC/laptop/netbook/whatever and an internet connection. Who hasn’t got this setup nowadays? To play Angry Birds you need an iPhone or an Android and comparing the people that have access to the internet with the people that have one of these two phones is just unfair.
- facebook was there first, and that makes it harder for all the competitors, not just angry birds. Who’s going to | [

Halloween costume choices allows people to try on new selves

Every time Ellen Seidman hears the word "retarded," she worries for her 9-year-old son, Max, who has cerebral palsy.
She wonders if people will ever respect him, or see him as an equal, if they associate that word with people like him, who have intellectual disabilities.
"I'm not saying that anyone who uses the word flippantly has something against people with special needs," said Seidman, a working mom blogger from New Jersey. "But it is a demeaning word even if it's meant as a joke, because it spreads the idea that people who are cognitively impaired are either stupid or losers."
Seidman is not alone in her desire to see "the R-word" go the way of racial slurs once considered acceptable.

Winning a national championship is certainly a big thing for a program. Recruiting will improve, meaning the future is brighter.
The problem is, in many cases, the short-term becomes cloudy because your successful underclassmen | become targets of professional teams.
As is the case with Minnesota Duluth. Already losing major contributors like Justin Fontaine, Mike Montgomery and Kyle Schmidt because of graduation, team co-captain Mike Connolly announced he had signed a max deal with the San Jose Sharks, bypassing his senior season in Duluth.

THE BIG INTERVIEW: GERARD BUTLER
Category: Interviews | Posted by: admin
Article Date: June 10, 2001 | Publication: Scotland on Sunday | Author: John Millar
GERARD Butler is excited, but not because he is just about to go on the London Eye for a ride on the city's newest tourist attraction. The adrenalin is pumping because the 29-year-old Scottish actor's dreams are all starting to slip into place.
He has just been cast in Timeline, a film which ought to go some way towards moving Butler from the fringes of stardom.
The production, a time-shifting drama, certainly has the right pedigree. It's an adaptation of the bestselling novel by Michael Crichton and is to be directed by Richard Lethal Weapon Donner.
The film will certainly raise the profile of the Scot whom the movie rumour factory has suggested might be in the running to be the next James Bond once Pierce Brosnan - who has said he will have one more outing as 007 - hands in his | licence to thrill.
Timeline is the continuation of a pell-mell couple of years for the tall (he's 6ft 2in), handsome Glaswegian who only made his film debut four years ago, as Billy Connolly's brother in the award-winning Mrs Brown.

Each player will draft 4 characters, each of which must be unique (so you cannot draft Kain's first appearance if you have drafted Kain's 3rd appearance.) The remaining two character appearances will be free. If you have no option but to draft a character that you have drafted previously, then you may do so.
The winner will be determined by whose team has the best difference in levels between their characters and the bosses that they defeat. A lower score is better.
For example, I draft Kain's first appearance and defeat the mist dragon with Kain and Cecil both at level 10 before the fight begins. The Mist Dragon (D. Mist) has a level of 10. I would earn 0 points toward my score. Had Cecil been level 11 and Kain level 10, I would have earned 1 point. Undrafted characters give 0 points and must be killed immediately. Using an undrafted character results in an additional number of points equal to the level of the encounter. Drafted characters must be alive at the end of the boss fight in order to progress. Save often | !
Optional bosses are optional, so defeat them if you can! However, you must defeat them before taking on Zeromus, which freezes your score.

It took a bullet to the head and a burial at sea, but the U.S. government has dismissed the 13-year-old federal court case against Osama bin Laden.
U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in New York on Friday granted a request from prosecutors to drop the terrorism counts against the slain al-Qaeda leader. Bin Laden had been charged in a series of indictments between 1998 and 2000. They accused him of plotting to attack the United States and kill U.S. citizens and committing various crimes related to the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

The U.S. Navy later buried bin Laden at an undisclosed location in the northern Arabian Sea.

Serbia’s central bank will probably increase its benchmark interest rate this week as it seeks to halt the decline of the dinar even as the economy slows.
The Belgrade-based Narodna Banka Srbije will raise its two- week repurchase rate on June 7 from the current 9.5 percent, according to 14 of 22 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Eight expect the bank to keep borrowing costs unchanged.
The dinar has weakened 11 percent against the euro this year, according to central bank figures. The bank has spent nearly 1.2 billion euros ($1.5 billion) since February to slow the currency’s decline. Vice Governor Bojan Markovic said June 1 the central bank may increase interest rates to quell volatility in the dinar, while bank officials, who requested anonymity, said reserve requirements may be raised.
A “mix of a rate hike and the reserve requirement increase could be effective,” as the dinar’s decline is “to some degree psychologically driven.” said Jasna Atanasijev | ic, chief economist at the Belgrade-based Hypo Alpe Adria Banka AD.
Serbia cut borrowing costs by a total of 3 percentage points from June to December last year to contain an economic slowdown triggered by Europe’s debt crisis. The Balkan nation is seeking to avoid a second recession in three years after its economy contracted 1.3 | [

If it’s not yet apparent to all Americans, let me spell it out: Our President and the Democrat Party have declared war on fiscal responsibility through their eternal devotion to their largest constituency: public sector unions!
Jonah Goldberg points out in his latest L.A. Times Op-Ed that “A crucial distinction has been lost in the debate over Walker's proposals: Government unions are not the same thing as private sector unions.” Precisely. As Goldberg explains, private sector unions were born out of an adversarial relationship between labor and management, unlike government unions, who had no such narrative. The government doesn’t exist for the benefit of a profit as a corporation does. Does it? No! And even before Kennedy lifted the ban | on government unions, civil service regulations and similar laws had guaranteed satisfactory working conditions. “The argument for public unionization wasn't moral, economic or intellectual. It was rankly political.” Goldberg elaborates:

“The night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen, Round and round, oh round and round, The meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen, Down in the arena …,”
– Jim Croce, “Roller Derby Queen”
Used to be, saying somebody hit like a girl was an insult. Not anymore.
Don’t believe it? Then come out to Springfield’s Skateland South any Sunday evening.
There you will find dozens of female skaters suiting up for a roller derby bout. These women of all ages, builds and looks wear a colorfully mismatched potpourri of cutoffs and tanks, short shorts and knee-highs, fishnet hose and tattoos. Pads cover elbows and knees, helmets cover heads. Teeth clench plastic mouthguards.
A whistle blows and these individuals merge into a single entity, jostling, jabbing and, yes, hitting – hitting hard – as they whirl around the roller rink.
Another whistle blows and two low-slung skaters – called jammers – with stars on their helmets break into a rolling charge toward the pack, fists gouging the air to grab chunks of speed. The pair hit the pack, quad wheels loudly scraping the floor. | Half the skaters, or blockers – hips butting, shoulders shoving – help their team’s jammer aggressively twist and dodge her way through the moving crowd to the front, while trying to prevent the other jammer’s progress.
Nobody says, “Pardon me.”
