Pillow Dimensions: 10"x10"
Caring for your pillow/duvet
On a gentle cycle with cold or warm water using high quality but very little detergent. If your washing machine is large enough wash two pillows at a time, that will help balance the load allowing the water and detergent to circulate more efficiently.
Avoid fabric softeners – Waxy buildup from softeners can deteriorate the cotton fibers over time and reduce their absorbency. We do not recommend laundry softener.
the pillows for a while ensuring they are completely dry to avoid mildew from developing. It may take 3-4 hours. Keep drying! Add a dryer sheet for extra freshness and toss 2 tennis balls to keep the fill from clumping as they bounce around. Make sure pillow/duvet is completely dry. Any smell will be gone by the time it is dry.
Caring for your towels
- Wash Separately- Wash your towels separate from clothing. Give towels its own load.
- Add vinegar to the wash cycle – A half to full cup of vinegar to the occasional wash load is a great natural way to increase absorbency (by changing the water Ph) (and also remove the musty smell that damp towels tend to produce) Baking soda can also be helpful here.
- Avoid fabric softeners – Waxy buildup from softeners can deteriorate the towel fibers over time and reduce their absorbency.
- Avoid chlorine bleach – While chlorine is a great stain remover and whitener, it can significantly reduce the life of your towels by damaging and weakening the fibers. Instead, use an Oxi-based bleach/whitener or spot-treat the stains.
- Dry Completely- Ensure that towels are dry when you remove them from the dryer. Damp towels can develop mildew. Bear in mind though to avoid overdrying; it can destroy the integrity of the individual cotton fibers.

I have been working on the family of Charles and Margaret Speisman of Titusville, PA. Here has been my progress so far. The lady I am doing this for had some information that she got from her uncle and what she remember that her mother told her. Charles and Margaret would have been her mother's grandparents.
First I easily found the family in the 1880, 1900 census, and then 1910 and 1920 with out Margaret and a couple of the children.
1880 I find the family living in Titusville, Crawford County, PA at 301 Meadows St. This is one of those census records that make you want to cry for joy. Charles is 33 (birth about 1847), a Butcher, born in Baden (Germany). His wife Margaret is 35 from Prussia. They have three girls, Lizzie - 5, Mary - 3, and Rosa -2. This is where is gets fun. Living with them is Elizabeth Heahen, 58 from Prussia, mother-in-law (Margaret's mother!). Later I did much more research on this side of the family, and well that file is huge too, but I won't go into that right now. Also living with them were Margaret's sister, brother-in-law and their children.
1900 gets very interesting. I had to do a lot more digging to find everyone. Then I discovered that this family must have some interesting stories that we may never know. First I find Margaret still living in Titusville at 13 Superior. This time I have a birth month and year given, though not sure if accurate, of Nov 1845 in Germany. This time the older girls are no longer with her, but four others are Emma 18, Francis 16, Chas Jr 13, George 9. She also states that she has had nine children, seven living, so that would add up to the three girls being grown and on their own. Which I did find Rosa living not far from her mother boarding with a family, age 20 a Waitress.
But here is where it gets really interesting. Where is Charles during all of this? My thought was maybe he is dead, but Margaret is listed as married, not widowed. So I keep searching for a Charles Speisman born about 1847. I find him. He is at the State Hospital for the Insane in Conewango, Warren County, PA. This time I have a month for his birth of November and 1847 for the year. Born in Germany, Immigrated 1869. Also he has been married to Margaret for 26 years. So that would put them married about 1874.
1910 I now find Charles living at 113 Barber with one daughter Emma O'Niel and her husband John. This time I see that Charles is 63 and widowed. So I know Margaret has passed away some time between 1900-1910.
1920 Nothing has changed, really. Except that the three of them are now living at 609 S. Franklin. This time though I get a little information on Charles' immigration/naturalization. This time he states he immigrated in 1866 and was naturalized in 1879. Then this time it is also added that he was born in Oberhausen, Germany.
1930 I no longer find Charles.
So at this point I have found that Charles was:
- Born about Nov. 1847
- Born in Baden or Oberhausen, Germany
- Immigrated 1866 or 1869
- Married Margaret about 1874
- Naturalized about 1879
- Spent around 1900 in an Institution
- Had seven living children: Lizzie, Mary, Rosa, Emma, Carl, George, Francis
- Possibly died between 1920-1930
Now I know that census records are not fact, merely clues. So where next. I was extremely interested in finding out what the deal was with him in the State Hospital. So I looked up the State Hospital, researched and contact them only to find out that only the next of kin can request the information. So my hands are tied there. Charles is the great grandfather of the woman I am doing this for. The closest living relative is one grandson.
Now what? Marriage, researched that only to find out that marriage records weren't kept for that time period, but I'm not giving up. I may now know the church they were a member of at least late in life. I will check with that church later to see what they have on the family.
Naturalization. That should give me a great deal of information, right. So I send an email to Pennsylvania archives. A wonderful lady agrees to help me out, later to find out she wasn't suppose to, but she was new. Any way she found two things for me in her search. First a naturalization record for a Charley Speisman of Germany. It was filed on 14 Sept 1897 in Titusville, PA. I had a feeling this was him, but there were too many discrepancy with what I already knew. The man's birth date was 22 Dec 1851, not Nov 1847. He was born in Baden, that matched with one of the census. He was naturalized in 1897, not 1879. Now remember what I knew was from census records, not reliable. But I was still holding onto the idea that with that many records stating the same thing it had to be fact. So I had her send me a copy anyway. But I really wasn't ready to except it was him even after I saw it.
But I also go in Margaret's will at the same time. Now there were some questions answered there. We know from the census that Margaret must have died before 1910 when Charles is living with his daughter and states he is a widower.
From the will of Margaret I see this:
- "I commit my body.........Christian Burial.......in the cemetery of St Walbura....Catholic." So she should be buried in St Walburga, and she was Catholic.
- Children: Lizzie Speisman, Rose Speisman Schwimmer, Emma Speisman, Carl Speisman, George Speisman. So where is Mary and Francis?
- "I hereby nominate my cousin John W. Haehn Executor." Another family member! This would be a cousin on her father's side. I later did a great deal more research and found many of her Haehn relative living in very close proximity to her. But this is about Charles.
- Registered 20 Oct 1905. So she had to of died around this time.
- Witnessed by Ida Buser and Mary Oxner. Who are these two ladies, friends, family?
So now I know a close time frame of when Margaret died, that possibly two of her daughter Mary and Francis may also be dead or estranged from the family and that Margaret's maiden name is almost definitely Haehn. So that really helped me to learn more about Margaret's family, but still not much about Charles, other than the fact that he is not listed in her will, and I know he was still alive. So did they divorce? Few answers and more questions.
So now that I have a more definite date on Margaret's death and her burial I call on the help of the wonderful volunteers of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. A wonderful woman, Diana answer my call for help. She begins doing some digging for me in the courthouse, library, and Historical Society.
She first contacts me to let me know what she found at the Historical Society. The first thing only gives me more questions. In 1879-1880 Charles is listed as living on Short St and is a clerk at Speisman House. Speisman House? Did he really come over alone, or with family? Did they have some kind of boarding house or hotel?
Next she found their graves! Charles 1847-1920, Margaret 1845-1905, Mary L 1878-1901, Frances 1884-1901 and Carl P. 1887-1948. They are all together in a family plot. So that answers the one question. The girls did die before Margaret. Now I have death dates for all of them. And look Charles birth date on the grave says 1847, like everything else other than that naturalization paper. So the naturalization can't be him, right?
So she does more digging, with the information that we now have. I was so busy with the remodel that I almost forgot about it until a packet shows up in the mail. In it is a will for Charles Speisman, death records by the undertaker for Francis and Margaret, and a copy of an Obituary for Margaret. Wow!
Here is what each of those tell me:
Undertakers Returns of Deaths in the City of Titusville
- 1901, Speisman, Frances, White, Female, Single, None (occupation), 14 Feb, (cause of death) Tonsillitis and Weak Heart, ......
- 1905, Speisman, Margaret, White, Female, Widowed, Retired, Oct 20, Brights Disease....
One question; why is Margaret listed as widowed when I know Charles is still alive. I believe it was to avoid the stigma of divorce. But by now I believe they are at least separated.
The Crawford Journal, Oct 26, 1905 pg 8 col 5
Died. Spiesman - At Titusville, Oct. 20 Mrs Margaret Spiesman, wife of Charles Spiesman
Okay so there she is the wife of Charles????
The Will of Charles Spiesman. There are five pages in this file, so I'll just list what I discovered from this.
- Charles Spiesman of Titusville, PA died at the house of his daughter Emma O'Niel about 12 o'clock on the 11th January 1920. So there is a death date.
- Executors, Joseph Geser and Felix O'Niel (probably relative of John, Emma's husband)
- Descendants: Lizzie Vinopal, daughter, (residence) Youngstown, OH, George Spiesman, Son, Youngstown, OH, Rosa Schwimmer, daughter, Paxton, IL, Carl P Spiesman, son, Titusville, PA, Emma O'Niel, daughter, Titusville, PA
- Witnesses: Peter B Tarr (research revealed he was a neighbor and police officer) and Ellis Rubin.
While pulling names from the documents to research as to their relationship to Charles as a way to discover more about the man the moment of magic happened. I had the papers spread out and sitting beside each other was the page that Charles had signed of his will and the page that was signed by a Charel Spiesman in the Naturalization paperwork. I looked and looked again because I couldn't believe my eyes. Both of those were most definitely signed by the same man. The will was signed by an elderly man near the end of his life, but there was no mistaking that it was the same signature!
Sometimes we are so busy looking for all the facts, names, dates, places, etc., that we miss the little subtle details, like a signature.
I do believe according to the naturalization records that Charles was born 22 Dec 1851. According to the census he may have come into this country sometime around 1866 as a very young man. I really suspect that if he came into this country at about the age of 14 then he may have claimed to be older than he was, and just continued to claim to be that age. But when he filed for naturalization he had to give his real birth date. I also beleive that the 1920 census taker transposed his numbers. Instead of Naturalization in 1897 he put 1879. Then I look at his wife who was born in 1845. In reality she was about six years older than he was. Maybe he felt compelled to continue the charade of claiming he was four years older than he was to close that gap. According to the family it probably would have been easy for him to claim to be older than he was, because the men were very large in the family, most over six foot.
As far as the relationship between Charles and Margaret we may never know what happened. But there are so many more details that I want to look at before I head for the German records to find his birth and parents.

Summer School in the CAAPosted by Brian Goodman on September 8th, 2010
Alex Varone of College Basketball Daily is the RTC correspondent for the CAA and MAC.
Around the CAA
- In 2010, the Colonial Athletic Association represented itself well in March, sending a league-record six teams to the postseason. That group was led by league champion Old Dominion, who advanced to the NCAA Tournament's round of 32 after upending Notre Dame. Both second-place Northeastern and third-place William & Mary fell in the first round of the NIT in a pair of close road losses at Connecticut and North Carolina, respectively. Fifth-place VCU swept Saint Louis in a best-of-three final to win the third annual CBI tournament, while seventh-place Hofstra fell in the CBI's first round, and fourth-place George Mason lost its first game in the CIT.
- Two of the CAA's twelve teams will be under the direction of a new coach in 2010-11. Tom Pecora left Hofstra after nine seasons to lead the rebuilding effort at Fordham. Replacing Pecora is not Tim Welsh, like it was originally intended, but rather Mo Cassara, a first-time head coach who spent the last four seasons under Al Skinner at Boston College. UNC-Wilmington also made a coaching change, "reassigning" four-year head coach Benny Moss within the athletic department. The Seahawks' new head man is the well-traveled Buzz Peterson, who has already made stops at Appalachian State (twice), Tulsa, Tennessee, and Coastal Carolina.
- For the second consecutive year, a Virginia Commonwealth Ram was selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, this time being First Team All-CAA center Larry Sanders, who elected to forgo his senior season at VCU. Even with the loss of Sanders, the Colonial boasts a wealth of returning talent, especially at the guard spots. Two members of last year's First Team are back, led by 2010 CAA Player of the Year and senior Charles Jenkins. Northeastern's senior guard Chaisson Allen is also back, along with four seniors who made the 2010 Second Team: Delaware guard Jawan Carter, George Mason guard Cam Long, VCU guard Joey Rodriguez, and James Madison forward Denzel Bowles.
Power Rankings (last year's overall and conference standings in brackets)
- Old Dominion [27-9 (15-3)] – The Monarchs look to make it back-to-back Colonial Athletic Association championships this season. Leading scorer and First Team All-CAA forward Gerald Lee is gone, but four starters from last year's title team are back, led by 6'8 senior forward Frank Hassell (9.2 PPG, 6.7 RPG). Hassell anchors a frontline that will once again be Old Dominion's strength, a luxury in a league that doesn't feature much frontcourt depth. Teaming with Hassell are a pair of seniors: the versatile Ben Finney (8.8 PPG, 5.8 RPG) and Keyon Carter (7.4 PPG, 4.9 RPG). There are question marks about the guard play, but there are worse alternatives in this league than junior Kent Bazemore (8.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG), a defensive specialist, and senior Darius James (7.0 PPG). Head coach Blaine Taylor has done a great job in leading the Monarchs to seven straight winning seasons and six straight postseason appearances, and while a number of teams are capable of winning the Colonial this year, Old Dominion is once again the team to beat until someone knocks them off.
- VCU [27-9 (11-7)] – In year one of the post-Anthony Grant & Eric Maynor era, VCU won 27 games, second-most in school history, reached the postseason for the fourth consecutive year, and won the CBI tournament. Not bad for what was supposed to be a "transition year" at Virginia Commonwealth. This year, the Rams have to deal with the heavy loss of First Team All-CAA center Larry Sanders, who finished in the top five in the league in rebounding, blocked shots, and field goal percentage. The burden of some of that production will fall on the shoulders of 6'9 senior Jamie Skeen (8.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG), but expect the 2010-11 Rams to be a guard-oriented squad. Second Team All-CAA senior Joey Rodriguez is the top returning scorer (12.9 per game), but also led the CAA in assists (5.8 per game) and steals (1.9 per game). Seniors Brandon Rozzell (8.8 PPG), Ed Nixon (7.9 PPG), and wing Bradford Burgess (10.4 PPG, 5.1 RPG) should all see increased production this year. VCU was a bit unfortunate in close games last year, as all eight conference losses were by five points or fewer, including a four-point overtime loss to Old Dominion in the CAA Tournament semifinals. If a few of those close losses go the other way in Shaka Smart's second year, VCU could very well be headed back to the NCAA Tournament.
- George Mason [17-15 (12-6)] – In 2010, George Mason showed flashes of being a league contender; a seven-game win streak last January left the Patriots with a 15-7 (10-1) record, but they lost eight of their last ten games, and subsequently bowed out in the CAA quarterfinals. But all five starters are back this season, led by senior guard Cam Long (12.2 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.3 SPG), a 2010 Second-Team All-CAA performer and 2011 Player of the Year candidate. Long will be complemented by a trio of juniors in forward Ryan Pearson (11.9 PPG, 6.4 RPG), guard Andre Cornelius (9.4 PPG), and forward Mike Morrison (8.5 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.6 BPG). If forward Luke Hancock (7.7 PPG, 3.5 RPG) and guard Sherrod Wright (5.5 PPG) can both blossom as sophomores, this could be one of Jim Larranaga's most talented teams and the most talented team in the CAA. As is, George Mason will likely be more consistent in 2011, and with that, the Patriots should be considered one of the favorites. Read the rest of this entry »

Bartender, keep 'em coming! Mike Tyson is ready for another "Hangover."
The former boxing champ is rejoining his box office buddies for "The Hangover 2," and Tyson told Access Hollywood during the Discovery Channel's TCA presentation on Thursday in Pasadena, Calif., that filming in Thailand was a wild experience.

"Yeah, it was pretty interesting this time," Tyson explained. "I'm in Thailand, we're driving the car right from the airport and then we stop at this – it appeared to be a light… and a big ol' elephant pulls out. I'm like, 'Whoa!'
"Better be careful for the elephants!" he laughed.

Tyson – who who was promoting his new Animal Planet series "Taking on Tyson" (CLICK HERE to read about Tyson's TV pigeon passion!) – made quite a splash in the first "Hangover," and was more than happy to go another round with Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha.
"After [the first film], they said, 'We're all coming back.' I was just happy because when I came back, the only thing they kept saying, everybody asked me, 'Will Mike be in the movie?'" the boxer continued. "I was just very happy that [director Todd Phillips] put me back in. He didn't have to. I based my whole objecting this go-around just to be of service, you know? Be of service and just be grateful."
Of course, Tyson won't be the only celebrity cameo joining the fray for the sequel. As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, not only will Liam Neeson have a small part (replacing Mel Gibson), but also former President Bill Clinton.

Unfortunately, Tyson said, he didn't have the opportunity to work with the former Commander in Chief.
"I didn't get a chance to meet President Clinton, but that would've been interesting," Tyson told Access. "They keep me away from those kinds of people. We keep Mike over here, we keep the President over here. You know, we don't know what might go on!"

Tying up the loose ends of 'the Troubles'
The case of a dead Irish terrorist has legal and political implications on both sides of the Atlantic.
Los Angeles Times
February 4, 2013
The recent death of an Irish terrorist has raised the possibility of a resolution of a tangled legal controversy pitting the U.S. Department of Justice against a college that sponsored a research project about the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland. But it will not be simple.
In 1998, the governments of Britain and Ireland and Protestant and Catholic politicians in Northern Ireland signed the Good Friday Agreement. The historic compact was designed to bring a definitive end to sectarian violence that had cost more than 3,000 lives, and to establish a new political order in which pro-British Protestants would share power with Catholic nationalists.
Three years later, Boston College joined with an Irish journalist and a former member of the Irish Republican Army in an oral history project in which members of Protestant and Catholic paramilitary groups were interviewed about their activities, on the understanding that the transcripts wouldn't be released until they died.
But, in confirmation of William Faulkner's observation that "the past is never dead; it's not even past," the Belfast Project found itself the target of subpoenas by the Justice Department, acting under a law enforcement treaty between the United States and Britain. The first subpoena sought access to interviews with Brendan Hughes, who died in 2008, and Dolours Price, an unrepentant IRA terrorist who had told a reporter that she was involved in the 1972 kidnapping and execution of Jean McConville, a suspected informant for British security services. A second set of subpoenas sought interviews with other living former IRA members, also as part of the McConville investigation.
A federal district judge was willing to balance the importance of academic research against the U.S. government's interests and treaty obligations, but in the end ruled that both the Price interviews and material from interviews with seven other former IRA members must be turned over. Because of legal appeals, the material hasn't been given to British authorities.
Meanwhile, the case became a political cause celebre because of speculation that the interviews might implicate Gerry Adams — the leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political wing — in the McConville killing. Adams has denied any role, but Price, who saw him as a turncoat for signing the Good Friday Agreement, told an Irish newspaper in 2011 that she had taken her orders from him. Then, last week, Price died.
It's a muddle all right. John Kerry, while he was still a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, expressed the hope that the interviews would remain confidential, lest they undermine the effort to establish a "more promising tomorrow" for Northern Ireland.
We don't agree with Kerry's implication that crimes such as the killing of McConville shouldn't be investigated too thoroughly because of potential political repercussions. Whether Boston College must cooperate with that investigation by releasing the Belfast Project interviews is a different question, however.
In 1972, the Supreme Court refused to rule that journalists had a broad 1st Amendment right to protect the identity of confidential sources. But one of the justices in the 5-4 majority, Lewis Powell, insisted that judges could still balance the assertion of a reporter's privilege against "societal interests" on a case-by-case basis.
In doing so, lower courts may take into account whether the information being sought is relevant and whether prosecutors have exhausted all other sources of information before demanding that reporters violate a pledge of confidentiality. The result is that journalists enjoy a fair measure of protection for confidential sources, a privilege that benefits the public by promoting the free flow of information. Researchers such as those in the Belfast Project should have the same protection. The director of the project was in fact a prominent journalist.
Price's death may render moot the dispute over her interviews. Boston College's lawyers also argue that it undercuts the rationale for the second set of subpoenas, which referred to "criminal matters in the matter of Dolours Price." But if British authorities continue to press for confidential information from the Belfast Project, the Supreme Court should be prepared to engage in the careful scrutiny Justice Powell described in 1972.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA BLONDIES...very fudge-like?
5 comments:
- Anna said...
Oh, I adore Nigella's recipes! Definitely a little opulent, heh. I often have trouble with the inside not baking... often for me it's because I bake on an Aga and brownies/blondies really don't like it, but maybe you had the temperature a little high? Did you let it cool completely/chill in the fridge before cutting? Yeah, I'm experienced with pans of goo, haha. Ah well, can't wait to see what you came up with for the halfbaked bits!

Here at Scholars of Shen Zhou, a rank below your name is used to indicate 'member status'. Please note, post count means nothing on this forum, and those who spam to raise post count will be dealt with by the forum rules accordingly. This nifty little guide explains all, and if you have any more questions to offer please post them here.
Following is a list ranks and corresponding post requirements for that rank.
Phearful Tyro - 0 Posts
Apprentice - 20 Posts
Initiate - 45 Posts
Student - 80 Posts
Assistant - 115 Posts
Academic - 160 Posts
Master - 205 Posts
Sage - 260 Posts
Scholar - 315 Posts
Changshi - 380 Posts
Langzhong - 440 Posts
Scholar of Shen Zhou - 600 Posts
: Moderator - Moderates certain forums
: Administrator - Runs Forum
What does "Tyro" Mean?
ty·ro or ti·ro n
somebody who is beginning to learn something
Comes from Medieval Latin tȳrō, meaning squire, a variant of Latin tīrō, meaning recruit.
What does "Shen Zhou" Mean?
To be brief, it means "China".
How do I get a custom rank?
Sometimes we hold little educational/academic contests, the winner gets a custom title. There is also the monthly Scholar of Shen Zhou award. Those methods aside, the only way to get one is to be a moderator or admin. How do you become one of them? We show open positions in the Public Council. Asking over and over again before there is an opening is a good way to make sure you never get the position.
Does my post count matter?
Here at SoSZ, no, post count does not matter. We do not take post count into account when deciding who is a good standing member of the community. In fact, we don't even look at post count when deciding who would be a good moderator. Post count means nothing here except the amount of your participation (it can only indicate quantity, however, not quality). As such, those who spam to raise their post counts will be dealt with according to forum rules. The titles with the post counts are just a nice way to reward participation.
What happened to the dots?
The administration of the forum decided that dots were a useless graphic on the forum, which only took up extra load time, bandwidth, and space. Because they only indicated post count -- a useless thing on SoSZ -- there was no reason to keep them around. We have found that the forum looks cleaner without the dots, and we do not plan on bringing them back to the forum ever again.
But I saw a member with dots!
Any member with dots has put an old dot graphic into their avatar. There are one or two members who do have actual 'dots'; this is because they annoyed me about the dots enough that I decided to annoy them in return. Do not ask for dots.

A summer of modest economic growth is helping to boost confidence in the economy which may translate to a stronger holiday shopping season, according to economists.
Buoyed by a improved consumer confidence and strong business investment, the economy expanded at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the July-September quarter, the government said Thursday.
That may translate to a stronger holiday shopping season.
"We actually think we're going to have a very decent retail season. The LAEDC is forecasting retail holiday growth at 2.5 to 3 percent this year," said Kimberly Ritter-Martinez from the LA County Economic Development Corporation.
"It's a little bit slower than last year but its growth none the less and its building on what we saw from a year ago."
In California, employment will continue to grow, particularly in the information section which includes television and motion picture production, Ritter-Martinez said.
"That's been one of the best economic drivers in the region over the past couple of years and has added probably the most jobs," Ritter-Martinez said.
Economists project an annual growth rate of 2.5 percent to 3 percent for the October-December quarter and for all of next year-- just enough to keep the unemployment rate from rising.
But economists warned that even their modest assessment of growth of around 2.7 percent for next year will fall short if the European debt crisis isn't resolved.
And the outlook could dim further if U.S. lawmakers allow a Social Security tax cut and extended unemployment benefits to expire at the end of this year.

French telecom Alcatel-Lucent has lost a patent case against Apple and LG that it hoped might bring a much-needed cash infusion. In a trial that began November 27, lawyers representing Multimedia Patent Trust (MPT), a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent, had asked a San Diego jury to award their client $172 million in patent royalties from Apple and another $9.1 million from LG, according to a Bloomberg report on the trial.
Apple's win against Alcatel-Lucent and MPT came on the same day that a Delaware jury dealt the Cupertino company a significant loss, finding that iPhones did infringe three patents owned by a holding company, which in turn is partly owned by Sony and Nokia.
MPT claimed its patents were infringed by a wide array of products, including Apple's iPhones, iPods, iPads, and MacBooks, as well as LG products like the Chocolate Touch VX8575, Bliss UX700, and Lotus Elite LX610.
Alcatel-Lucent has been struggling financially for some time now, and has been on the patent warpath for several years. A brief history: Lucent Technologies was created in 1998 when AT&T spun off its famous Bell Labs, along with other assets. In 2006, Lucent sued Microsoft for patent infringement; shortly after filing that suit, it merged with French telecom Alcatel, which carried on the litigation.
The lawsuit against Microsoft turned into a battle royale over audio and video encoding technologies. In 2007, Alcatel-Lucent won a $1.5 billion verdict against Microsoft; it was the largest patent verdict ever, but it was overturned post-trial. The two companies also sparred over video compression technology, including MPEG-2 and some types of MPEG-4 encoding; all the litigation was settled confidentially a few years ago.
Alcatel-Lucent's slew of patent lawsuits is a sad ending to the storied legacy of Bell Labs. In a better world, this newest setback would cause the company to reconsider its ways; but that seems unlikely.
The original lawsuit, filed in 2010 [PDF] also included Canon and TiVo as defendants. TiVo settled the case in 2011. Canon won its case on summary judgment last month.

Each of us has those foods that magically evoke feelings and thoughts from our childhood. One of mine is corn muffins, which are wonderfully homey. In fact, this recipe is adapted from an original that my mom has been using for over 40 years.
When I was mixing the batter, I added some sticky sweet honey and plump, fresh corn kernels, which I wasn't sure Mom would like. Last week she made this new version and called me declaring: "Oh, Susan, those corn muffins are even better than the mine!" Well, there you have it, folks -- the best endorsement a food blogga could ask for.
To capture that old-fashioned chewy texture that I love, I used medium coarse rather than fine cornmeal. The result: golden, crisp muffin tops give way to soft, moist, honey-laced centers that are only enhanced when topped with a pat of butter and drizzled with warm honey.
The aroma of freshly baked muffins and a little nostalgia -- it doesn't get much better than that.
Sweet Corn and Honey Muffins
Makes 12 regular size muffins.
Print recipe only here.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup medium coarse stone-ground cornmeal
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup fresh corn kernels
Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12 mold regular size muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, butter, buttermilk, eggs, and honey. Add to the flour mixture and stir quickly until well combined. Fold in the corn kernels. Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 molds.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes before removing each muffin and placing on a wire rack to cool.

DETROIT (AP) Jay Cutler threw for 257 yards and a touchdown and helped seal the game with a late scramble, and the Chicago Bears kept their playoff hopes alive - for now - with a 26-24 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Chicago (10-6) still needs a Minnesota loss to Green Bay to reach the postseason. The win by the Bears eliminated the defending champion New York Giants from the playoff picture.
The Lions (4-12) lost their last eight games and turned the ball over four times in the finale. Calvin Johnson fell short in his attempt to become the first player with 2,000 yards receiving in a season.
Cutler's 19-yard run on third down helped Chicago run out the clock late in the fourth quarter.

Just as he does with the images in the films he makes, Martin Scorsese packs a lot into his words.
Just look what PopcornBiz was able to cover with the legendary director in just a few moments on the red carpet at the Santa Barbara Film Festival as he continues his victory tour for "Hugo" throughout various awards ceremonies: his incredible prolific-ness of the past year, the state of his plans for a Frank Sinatra biopic and even that Scorsese-centric drinking game you might have noticed at the SAG Awards.
Why do you think this point of your life has been so creatively energized in the past year or so, with "Hugo," "Boardwalk Empire" and "George Harrison: Living In the Material World?"
Yeah – they all seemed to come out of the same year, from November 2010 to November 2011, and "A Letter to Elia Kazan," and 'Public Speaking" with Fran Lebowitz. For me, there's almost a kind of, at times, manic nature about what to do: say this, go here, try that, because cinema is changing so much, it's unrecognizable for the future, really – I mean, celluloid pretty much is gone. It is gone in a way, except for the fact that celluloid is the only thing really that preserves the film up to this point. So, you still need it for that.
In three days you've been among the Directors Guild nominees, you've been honored with the American Riviera Award from the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and the "Bridesmaids" ladies pay tribute to you with a drinking game at the Screen Actors Guild Awards – It's been a pretty great week, right?
The drinking game was really amazing! I didn't know about it until this morning – I saw the clip this morning. One of the interviewers showed it to me. I was laughing. They got the name right: Scor-sese. That's close enough.
Where are you on the Frank Sinatra film you've been developing? That has to be a staggering project to tackle.
It is. That's why we're taking our time with it, working with the family also and beginning with a new writer in March.
Is it something that could even be told in more than one movie, because his Sinatra's life is so epic in scope?
That's the problem! Do you focus in on one element of his life or do you do a series of pictures? This is all open to interpretation. I mean, there might be one way of just zeroing in like a laser. We had a similar problem with 'Raging Bull,' but there are many more facets to Sinatra's life you see.
Do you have an actor in mind for that?
Not yet, not yet. How could you? I mean – It's Frank.
Martin Scorsese Talks Creative Energy, Sinatra Biopic – and That Drinking Game
Just as he does with the images in the films he makes, Martin Scorsese packs a lot into his words.

Putin thankful for Romney rhetoric
In March, Mitt Romney said Russia is "clearly" the nation's "number one geo-political foe," a comment that's been widely ridiculed in a variety of circles. As Rachel noted last night, soon after Romney's comment, Colin Powell said on MSNBC, "Come on, Mitt, think."
But on the other side of the Atlantic, there's apparently one person who was delighted by Romney's rhetoric. His name is Vladimir Putin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said [Tuesday] that Mitt Romney's characterization of Moscow as the United States' "number one geopolitical foe" has actually helped Russia.
The Russian leader said Romney's comments strengthened his resolve to oppose NATO's plan for a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, a system Russia believes will degrade its nuclear deterrent. The U.S. insists the system is aimed at Iran, not Russia.
"I'm grateful to him (Romney) for formulating his stance so clearly because he has once again proven the correctness of our approach to missile defense problems," Putin told reporters, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
In other words, Putin was looking for an excuse to be more obstinate on missile defense, and Romney, through his foreign policy clumsiness, gave him one. By popping off on a subject he didn't understand, Romney inadvertently affected defense negotiations, at least at a superficial level.
President Obama told Steve Kroft yesterday that one of the things he's learned is that "it's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts, and that you've thought through the ramifications before you make them."
This week is offering some rather dramatic evidence that it's a lesson Romney hasn't learned.

|Retail Price:
|Our Price:
This double layer chiffon dress is so dainty and we love the ethereal feel the dress gives off. The neckline is accented by a beautiful rhinestone design. The dress is great because it can be dressed up or down depending on the event. The darling bow in the back can be tied to your liking for the perfect fit and the dress comes with a zipper closure. This is sure to be a closet staple for your little one this season and those to come. This dress is made from a designer label that upholds to the highest in quality and super cute style and value. Do not miss out on this dress!
- You will want to measure your child (bare-skinned) with a smooth tape measure and make sure that the child is relaxed to ensure room for comfort. Get an actual measurement-do not place your finger or give an inch, you will want exactly what she is in inches. If you do not have a soft tape measure, then you can always take a piece of string or ribbon, and lay it down on the tape measure to get the number.
- Chest: Take the tape measure under her arms and go directly over the bust line.
- Waist: Go around them with the measuring tape right at the belly button. Some children have a slight pooch belly, so you will want to measure the widest point of where it sticks out.
- Length: Take the tape measure from the top of the child's shoulder to the floor. You will take the tape measure all the way down the front of her and see where it falls on the leg. For ballerina length, the dress should fall between mid-calf to ankle.
- Please keep in mind that most of our dresses should fall between mid-calf to ankle so looking at the length measurement is important. Some sizing charts are generic ones provided to us from the manufacturer so please look at where the dress falls on the model or mannequin and consider the length it would be on your child.
- If you have measured your child and still have questions regarding sizing we are more than happy to help you find the best size. Please submit an email to our Sizing Department and we will help suggest the size you need. Please note when submitting a sizing inquiry, the information needed is: age, chest, waist, top of shoulder to floor measurement and the wear date. Please note that the assistance you receive should be taken as a suggestion only as the child is not in front of us.
Please note:
- Eligible items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of the date received.
- Any item that states "Special Order" in the availability line are ordered specifically to cover and fill your order-therefore they are eligible for EXCHANGE ONLY. You may use this credit for future use one year date of issue for anything on our website.
- Any item that is marked as "Sale" or with a red tag is sold as Final Sale.
- Please keep in mind when ordering that if there is a special order item on your order, your order will be held and you will receive your entire order in one shipment.

How to Patch Door Reveals
Door Buster
People always talk about taking things for granted, and seeing as how each and every one of us knows, comprehends, and understands this world-renowned clich, why is it we only seem to take it seriously when we're being immediately effected? Oh, that's right...we take it for granted! In the hot rod world we come across these conundrums quite often. Take for instance when the realm of the aftermarket isn't there to lend a helping hand.
When you're dealing with a 1932 Ford passenger car, or really any popular make and model, parts and accessories are just a phone call or Google search away. Anything and everything can be bought in a moment's notice. Yet, for a 1932's trunkless cousin, the pickup, things take a different turn. When it comes to those interchangeable components it's status quo; but for those unique pieces—such as sheetmetal—one is left scouring an abundance of avenues for salvageable original stock. The 1932-34 pickup door is something that isn't re-popped in the aftermarket. So when things take a turn for the worse it's time to count on one's resourcefulness to make it right.
In the case of this 1932 Ford pickup door, the reveal along the beltline took a shot from a forklift. The result was two creases, roughly 8 inches apart, expanding the entirety of the reveals and down into the skin. Unlike the broad side of a piece of sheetmetal, the reveal along the door has a multitude of sharp breaks in it, which is really where things take a turn for the worse. Dents and dings can be pulled and worked, but when a sharp edge buckles things don't just pull back into place. Previously someone tried to cut out the damaged area, straighten things as best they could, and then weld it back in. As for the skin below, a stud gun and puller could only band-aid a rough area. Long story short, it was a valiant effort, but things fell short.
Being that new sheetmetal isn't in the cards it's time to move on. There is a positive note, although bittersweet: The rest of this door is flawless. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a better door. The next option is plan B, to find a door with a solid reveal and transplant a patch. Being the damage to the door in question is in the center, a donor passenger or driver door would suffice because the crown of the reveal is shared. Star Kustom Shop, in Riverside, California, has taken the route of Plan B and found a new door with exactly what is needed. By cutting out the damaged portion and replacing it with new old skin the door can be restored to its previous condition. Here's Star Kustom Shop's plan of action.

Cambridge, Ma — Men are banned for six hours a week from the Harvard University's Quadrangle Recreational Athletic Center. The ban was to accommodate Muslim women who, for religious and cultural reasons, cannot exercise comfortably in men's presence.
No men can exercise in the gym between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays, and between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even the staff during those times is all women.
With the support of the Harvard College Women's Center, a group of six Muslim women asked the university for the special hours, spokesman Robert Mitchell says. The trial policy went into effect Feb. 4. It will be reviewed at the end of the semester.
"We get special requests from religious groups all the time, and we try to honor them whenever possible," says Mitchell, who notes that Harvard has designated spaces for Muslim and Hindu students to pray.
The special hours allow the Muslim women, whose traditional dress codes require them to cover their hair and most of their skin while in public, to dress more appropriately while exercising, says Susan Marine, director of the women's center.
Kent Blumenthal, the executive director of the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association, says he does not know of another institution with a similar policy.
"It seems in some ways contrary to the purpose of campus recreational programs, which is all about access," Blumenthal says.
The Quadrangle Recreational Athletic Center is open 70 hours a week. The gym is mainly used for intramurals and is the least used of the three large recreational facilities on campus, says Mitchell, who adds that most of the 12 residential houses also have workout facilities. A large Harvard athletic center also is available for use on the Boston side of the St. Charles River.
A similar issue occurred two years ago at Fitness USA in Lincoln Park, MI. There, Muslim women who had signed up with the for-profit club because of its offering of gender-specific days complained that men, who were allowed to work out in a special annex on women-only days, could still see the women working out. The issue was resolved when the club agreed to frost the glass walls of the Cardio Zone room and install large poster panels to block visibility from the coed area to the exercise floor.
