More references (and non-denials) of the existence of Microsoft's Office Mobile for iPad have surfaced in the past few days.
Microsoft officials have stopped bothering to deny that there will be some kind of Office support on the iPad. But the Softies still aren't sharing when this support will arrive or in what form.
Reports that Microsoft was developing Office for iPad began circulating, courtesy of The Daily, earlier this year. Reporters at The Daily claimed a Microsoft representative demonstrated privately to them Word, Excel and PowerPoint running on the iPad. Microsoft officials, at that time, tried to throw cold water on The Daily's claims.
In subsequent appearances, Microsoft officials danced around questions as to when and whether Microsoft would deliver Office for iPad.
As first noticed by bloggers over at the Mac4ever site, there also are references popping up in Microsoft's support pages to Office Mobile apps for the iPad. Again, there are no specifics as to specific capabilities, pricing or packaging. But based on recent leaks, it could be the case that Office Mobile for iPad and Android, as well, will require an Office 365 subscription .
Among the rumored release dates for Office Mobile for iPad are "early 2013" (The Verge) and May 2013 (various reseller and other sources).


A boy who's been having trouble with bullies tries to convince an old Japanese man to teach him karate so that he can defend himself. At first, the aged Mr Miyagi is reluctant to help - but eventually decides that he can combine giving the boy patience and karate skills and getting his own tiresome household chores done (as shown in the film's famous "wax on, wax off" scene!). A film packed with energy, humour and entertaining fight scenes. PLEASE BE AWARE: After ordering The Karate Kid you may receive a disc marked as being a 15 certificate, however, this relates to the extra features on the DVD and not the film itself, which is certified with the BBFC as a 12. Into Film has consulted the BBFC, and their guidance is that as long as a club leader screens only the film (and not the additional features or audio commentaries etc), The Karate Kid can be treated as a 12 certificate in a school setting.
Two warriors in pursuit of a stolen sword and a notorious fugitive are led to an impetuous and physically-skilled nobleman's daughter.
Visually stunning, amazingly choreographed martial arts film set in ancient China about a warlord in fear of his life as rulers plot against him.

Did you know that the grapefruit you eat for breakfast is commonly known as pamplemousse in French, although it should in fact be called pomelo; the French term pamplemousse actually refers to the English pomelo, Chinese grapefruit or Shaddock.
Confused? It's quite simple really. First came the pomelo. Cultivated mostly in South East Asia, it is rarely found in our local markets. It is a large, pale green or yellow pear-shaped fruit with a thick peel. The seeds of the pomelo were brought to Barbados around the 17th century, and the hybridizing between a pomelo tree and an orange tree resulted in what we call today the grapefruit!
Grapefruit is very rich in antioxidants; the red and pink varieties contain more than the white variety. Having said that, consumption of grapefruit or its juice can interfere with certain medicines, by increasing or diminishing their effect on our bodies. So it is always better to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

DOCUMENT: reFX Audio Software Inc. files suit against other university network users
Dan Bauman
The Canadian audio software company, reFX Audio Software Inc., has filed copyright infringement suits against four university network users at colleges across the nation.
In November, the company filed suit against a Webster University network user as well as a user at University of Central Missouri for illegally sharing the company's software.
Three users at the University of Colorado and one user at Colorado State University have been sued as recently as Feb. 7, 2013, by the company. reFX Software has also filed suit against more than 600 commercial network users in Colorado, Illinois, Connecticut and Missouri.
Much like the case in November, because the company was unable to identify the true names of the individuals it is suing, reFX Software assigned a number to each accused perpetrator. In the Missouri lawsuit, the individual who allegedly used Webster's network is listed as John Doe 31.
A mock faceplate for reFX Audio's Nexus software. The lawsuit states users can manipulate music and sound clips with the dials and switches. SCREENSHOT FROM COURT DOCUMENTS
The Missouri complaint accused John Doe 31 (out of 180 in the suit) of illegally sharing reFX Software's Nexus program on Aug. 27, 2012 at 9:23 a.m.
reFX Software references three specific products and prices in its complaint as well as the total costs:
—Nexus 2 with 1,000 factory presets and all 45 expansion packs: $2,589.
—Nexus 2 with 1,000 factory presets: $299.
—For each individual expansion pack: $65.
On Nov. 28, 2012, United States Magistrate Judge Terry I. Adelman ordered that reFX Software could serve subpoenas to the Internet service providers (ISP) involved in the case.
The subpoena will seek "documents that identify each Doe defendant, including the name, current (and permanent) addresses, e-mail addresses … for each defendant."
Court documents reference the Cable Service Privacy Act, which provides:
"Cable operator may disclose (personally identifiable) information if the disclose is subject to subsection (h) of the section, made pursuant to a court order authorizing such disclosure, if the subscriber is notified of such order by the person to whom the order is directed."
Furthermore, the order states that third party ISPs (i.e. Webster University) must serve a copy of the subpoena and copy of the court's order to the alleged illegal sharer. The ISP must have served this copy, "using any reasonable means
including written notice sent to his or her last known address," no later than Jan. 25, 2013.
The order also states the individuals being sued by reFX Software (aka John Does) may file motions in court contesting the subpoena or litigate anomalously with reFX Software before Mar. 15, 2013.
No personal information shall be turned over to reFX Software before Mar. 15, 2013. Furthermore, if a John Doe challenges the subpoena, an ISP may not turn over any documents or information until the challenge is resolved.
"The ISPs shall have to and including March 25, 2013, by which to produce to plaintiff reFX Audio Software Inc. the information responsive to the subpoena as to any non-moving Doe defendant(s) only," court documents state.
The order states that any information disclosed to the plaintiff by the ISP may be used only for the purpose of protecting its rights under the Copyright Act.
Concerned about privacy, one of the 180 individuals sent a letter with no return address to the Eastern District Court in Missouri objecting to the release of any personal information relating to him or her.
On Feb. 7, 2013, the case was reassigned to Judge Henry E. Autrey.

The boy on the swing! Beautiful.
You do have a good eye for this.
I have a whole basket of those figure I the last pic waiting for grands to play.
Life is good in Peterborough.
All,that was a most fascinating tour around your area.You notice and capture so many unique details.
Just magic. Thank you so much for the walk. :) I hope life is going well for you. Hugs from the far corner of a California beach.
Awesome variety of spring photos. You have too much water!
So many sight, sounds, and SMELLS in this post! You've made me hungry for oatmeal! That irks me about the vandals tossing the smaller canine in the water, but how awesome the artists replaced it.
Wow, that water is high! Love the last photo. And I am amazed that the sculptor of dogs has the surname Barkhouse.
That first photo: if the sky is good enough, almost any subject works.
Second photo: good eye. Photos like this are always appealing to me.
Love the spring photos! It can take a while to settle in, but when she does, she's glorious!
why on earth do some people find so much pleasure in destruction? I'm glad the puppy was rescued and repaired. stunning sunrise and pure joy on the boy.
Another broad collection of beautiful bits of life out your way!
Excellent shots- my favourite being the sculpture of the mama wolf and cub.
Delightful pictures, as ever, except for the flood.
Great series - I especially like the first two shots.
I'm always drawn to your landscapes and nature shots, and those are great as always, but this time the boy on the swing and the dude with the toys really caught my eye. Kinda like Norman Rockwell, you can totally see him painting either of those. You do indeed have an eye!
I live in a small town and it can be as interesting as a big city if you take the time to explore it like you do where you live. We have many old Victorian homes and some have been loving restored while others are left to decay. I imagine the one you photographed was a beauty long ago. We've had tons of rain these past weeks although not enough to cover walkways! Have a lovely weekend and I hope it's warm and sunny!
Love your variety of shots Hilary. The poor house to the man walking with the action figures.
What a fun adventure! I loved the child in the swing - he looked to be enjoying the ride.
Quaker Oats? My goodness - brings back memories of childhood and well dang it - I still buy Quaker Oats today! Good food, my mom used to tell me and it's true. I buy the old fashioned oats, not the flavoured instant stuff.
We had flooding as well - better now, but the rains are back.
Love your pics! And your stories. Enjoy the spring!
That was a nice walkabout. Sorry aboutt he flooding- it seems everyone is getting hit with it this year. A little strange to see a grown man walking about with toys like that, but who knows.
Fabulous stories, here! You have a keen eye.

Improving detection of PRRS virus in aborted material
Trang chủ Tri thức Improving detection of PRRS virus in aborted material
Abortion in the later stages of pregnancy is the clinical manifestation of PRRS virus infection that causes most concern to farmers. Although aborted material is sent to the lab in an attempt to detect the virus, the result is often frustrating.
Even though much research has been done, the pathogenesis of intrauterine PRRS virus infection remains largely unknown. Results from recent studies and judicious observation of the aborted material, however, can help to increase the success rate in detecting the PRRSV in the laboratory.
Determining the cause of late abortions in sows is a challenge, as they may be infectious or not depending largely on herd management, the overall health status, the region where the farm is located, the specific prevention measures against abortogenic pathogens, etc. Pregnancy itself is a risk status for the sow; if they are subjected to sudden changes in the environment, abortion can occur spontaneously. If the herd management and housing conditions are adequate, outbreaks of late abortions are usually attributed to an acute PRRS virus infection. In these cases the sample used to confirm the presence of the virus in the laboratory is the aborted material, usually accomplished by the polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR).
Although this is the standard procedure for PRRS virus identification in clinical material coming from abortion, a high proportion of PCR-negative results are the most common outcome from the diagnostic laboratory, as was reported in a large-scale study in Germany. The German3 researchers analyzed not only fetuses, but also samples collected from the affected sows. However, infection with the PRRS virus was confirmed in only 8.6% of the samples. These results contrast sharply with those reported from a similar field investigation of late-term abortions in sows in Thailand4, with up to 65.6% of the samples being PCR-positive. Taking into consideration the differences in the development of the pig industry in the two countries, in particular the difference in the rate of vaccination against PRRS, which is much higher in Germany, it seems plausible that the characteristics of the farm and overall health management greatly influence the success of PRRS virus detection in this kind of sample.
The selection of samples to confirm the presence of the PRRS virus in cases of abortion may also influence the outcome of the PCR, as can be deduced from the accumulated scientific evidence on the distribution of the PRRS virus in maternal and fetal tissues in cases of transplacental infection. A recent study1 suggests that meconium-stained fetuses, along with those decomposed but not autolytic, are the best samples for detection of the PRRS virus in the thymus, lungs and serum of fetuses using PCR. The results further indicate that fetuses in advanced autolysis and those of normal appearance are usually negative in the PCR, and therefore should not be used for diagnosis. Meconium staining was the most consistent gross abnormality observed in fetuses infected with the PRRS virus in another study2, suggesting that this is a reliable indicator of intrauterine infection.
Because aborted fetuses are by definition autolytic samples, since death occurs hours or days before they are delivered, it is likely that the autolysis has a negative impact on the PCR as a consequence of viral RNA degradation. However, there is little information about the stability of RNA virus in samples of pig origin in advanced autolysis. A recent study5 revealed an average half-life of viral RNA in pig tissues stored at room temperature for up to 21 days, ranging from 0.95 to 2.55 days. This indicates that there is a very short timeframe between detection of abortion on the farm, and sample submission for PCR analysis in the laboratory.
All in all, demonstration of PRRS virus infection in late-term aborted fetuses can be improved by sampling both meconium-stained and decomposed (non-autolytic) fetuses, umbilical cord and placenta on the farm. Sampling should be performed as soon as the abortion occurs, and should be delivered under refrigeration by express transport, when possible.

Elks Plaza
Martha Cooper
Home of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks
Borough: Brooklyn
Neighborhood: Bedford-Stuyvesant
Elks Plaza is a long-standing site of gathering and communal life in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Built in the early 1910s, it was later home to the Black Elks fraternal organization and now serves as a rental hall used by a wide variety of community members.
Originally a single-family home, the current Elks Plaza building was expanded several times in the 1910s and 20s to create the current four-story masonry building. In the 1940s, it became the Brooklyn home of the Black Elks, the African American branch of the Elks fraternal organization (the original Elks, founded in 1868, did not admit Blacks until 1973). As Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 (the name still visible today on the building's exterior) it grew to serve over 1,000 members and for many years was one of the few non-denominational sites in the area where blacks could congregate.
After the Lodge closed Ray Patterson purchased the building in 1991 to serve as a public rental hall. He made needed repairs to the structure, which presently houses large spaces for public events on the first and second floors, office space and a computer room on the third floor, and rooms for private parties on the top floor. Renamed the Elks Plaza in tribute to its earlier incarnation, the building is now available for parties and celebrations by members of Bedford-Stuyvesant's many ethnic groups including Trinidadians, Barbadians, African Americans, as well as recent immigrants from African countries such as Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Mr. Patterson also provides free space for two churches to hold services in the building. And, the Eastern Stars--the original Ladies Auxiliary chapter of the Black Elks--continue to meet there.
This current use of the building carries on a long tradition of providing the Bedford-Stuyvesant community with an accessible gathering space. As Mr. Patterson puts it, "I just bought the building to save it for the community. I didn't buy it to make a livelihood."

New Yorkers Sue for Toxic Waste Cleanup
Posted on October 15, 2008 by freedomrebel
CommonDreams
Fed up with years of inaction by city and state, residents seek justice. Lead is one of the contaminates leaking from the landfill, which children generally absorb a higher percentage than adults do. This is particularly alarming considering there are four schools close by. One of the side effects is reduced cognitive abilities.
Staten Island residents are going to court to force the cleanup of an abandoned toxic waste dump in the Great Kills section of the borough.
The public interest law firm Earthjustice filed a lawsuit today in federal district court in Manhattan on behalf of the Northern Great Kills Civic Association. The association represents residents living near the 272-acre Brookfield landfill.
Between 1974 and 1980, tens of thousands of gallons of toxic industrial waste were dumped illegally at the landfill, intended only for municipal solid waste. It was one of five city landfills involved in a 1982 federal investigation into illegal dumping which sent a city Department of Sanitation official and a hauling operator to prison.
"Those convicted of dumping this toxic waste have long ago served their time. But 30 years later, their poisonous legacy remains," said Earthjustice attorney Keri Powell. "We're filing this lawsuit to make sure this mess is cleaned up and the residents of Great Kills can reclaim their community from contamination."
Staten Island Borough President James P. Molinaro, who has long called for the landfill's cleanup, expressed support for the litigation.
"You might remember 'Johnny Cash,' the Department of Sanitation official? He's the one who went to jail for allowing trucks to dump up to 50,000 gallons a day of toxic waste in return for cash bribes," said Borough President James Molinaro. "Well, Johnny Cash has been out of prison for years now. Unfortunately, the mess he made here in Staten Island still hasn't been cleaned up."
State Senator Andrew Lanza, Assemblyman Michael Cusick, Assemblyman Louis R. Tobacco, Councilman Vincent M. Ignizio, and Councilman Michael McMahon have also pressed for action at the Brookfield site and have spoken up in favor of the residents' lawsuit.
In 1990, the city announced it had set aside $600 million for the cleanup of the five city landfills involved in the 1982 scandal. While cleanup has concluded at the Pelham Bay landfill in the Bronx, the Edgemere landfill in Queens, and the Fountain Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue landfills in Brooklyn, work still has yet to begin on the Brookfield site in Staten Island.
"We have been patient, cooperating in good faith with agency officials who have offered us nothing but empty promises," said John Felicetti, co-chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Brookfield Remediation. "At first there was money but no cleanup plan. Now we have a plan, but no money. While the city and state agencies bicker about who should foot the cleanup bill, our community is suffering."
At the time the scandal was uncovered, it was compared to the infamous incident at Love Canal which gave rise to the nation's environmental health movement.
"We've watched as landfills in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens have been cleaned up. Decades have gone by and we're still waiting for our community to be taken care of," said Geri Kelsch, president of the Northern Great Kills Civic Association. "I was still a child when this illegal dumping was uncovered. Now I have children of my own. We're fighting so a third generation of Staten Islanders won't have to live with poison in their backyard."
Though far smaller than the borough's infamous Fresh Kills landfill, the Brookfield site poses nearly as great a threat to the environment as its 3,000-acre counterpart, because of the toxic combination of cyanide, lead, arsenic, and other contaminants leaking from the landfill.
With low dose exposure of cyanide, children and adults may experience headaches, vertigo, confusion and difficulty in breathing. Arsenic poisoning symptoms include violent stomach pains, vomiting, dryness and tightness in the throat, it can even lead to skin cancer. It particularly affects the brain, causing neurological disturbances and even death.
The federal investigation found that somewhere between 10,000 gallons a week to 50,000 gallons a day of hazardous waste were dumped illegally at the site during its last six years of operation. The oil, sludge, metal plating, lacquers and solvents, which came from manufacturers throughout the region, remain buried on the site and feed the 95,000 gallons of contaminated water which leak from the site each day into groundwater and the Richmond Creek.
There are nearly 10,000 people living within a quarter-mile of the landfill. In addition, four schools and one church — the Tanglewood Nursery School, P.S. 37, P.S. 32, St. Patrick's School, and St. Patrick's church — are within a quarter mile of the landfill.
This is inexcusable that this has been allowed to go on this long. There is no telling what the long-term effects on the many children and adults that live near this toxic contamination. The residences should also, push for a study to determine all the adverse effects this has caused.
