Enrollment in Junior Sailing Camp at CIYC on the rise

May 18, 2011

Summer is right around the corner, and youngsters hoping to gain a little bit of nautical knowledge are already making plans to participate in the second annual Junior Sailing Camp, returning to Captiva Island Yacht Club this June and July.

"We're getting some really good response — the word-of-mouth from last year's campers has helped a lot," said Chris Heidrick, chairman of the Sailing Committee at the Yacht Club and coordinator of the Junior Sailing Camp. "It's a very short summer this year, and we've got a lot of interest from people who aren't from around here."

According to Heidrick, one woman from Georgia called to inquire about the camp, open to children ages 8 to 16 of all experience levels. The woman has already enrolled her twin sons in the camp, noting that her family is planning their summer vacation around the CIYC activity.

“My two teenage kids went to Sailing Camp at the Captiva Island Yacht Club last summer and had a fantastic time," reported Blanaid Colley, a resident of Sanibel. "They were taught all the skills needed to sail, to drive a motor boat and even to kayak with great confidence in just two weeks. We do not own a boat ourselves, so both kids were at the basic learning stage, but they finished the camp with full confidence and even got to take their boaters license test."

The only qualification for participation in the Junior Sailing Camp is successfully completing a swim test (50 yard swim, tread water, put on a PFD in the water and swim back 50 yards wearing the PFD). Families do not need to belong to the Yacht Club to participate in the camp.

"We try to make the camp both educational and fun," added Heidrick. "By the time they finish the course, all of the campers will not only be able to handle a boat by themselves, but will have an improved level of confidence when out on a boat."

The first session this year will run Monday, June 13 to Thursday, June 23. The second session will run Monday, July 18 to Thursday, July 28. Drop-off at the Yacht Club is between 8:45 and 9 a.m.; pickup is 4 p.m. each day.

At the conclusion of each session, students will be certified in power boat safety, be able to properly handle a kayak and be able to demonstrate their newly-acquired sailing and marine skills at Parents & Friends Day.

"The kids learn how to work together as a team," said Heidrick, who noted that rigging, navigating and tying knots will also be taught during the program. "After last year's camp, I saw autonomous teamwork. The campers were doing things naturally, helping each other out."

The Captiva Island Yacht Club is the organizer/sponsor of the program while Edison Sailing Center will manage the program and provide instruction.

"Essentially, we're offering the same program as last year," Heidrick explained. "But last year, everybody was starting from square one. This year, some of the experienced campers will be able to go out on the water more often."

The cost to enroll is $600 per session ($300 per week). Each child will be assigned their own sailboat (Optimist Pram, Sunfish or Laser) and their own kayak. There will be a certified instructor for every three to five students. Each child will need to provide their own Personal Floatation Device (PFD), lunches/snacks/drinks, sunscreen, hat and water-shoes (swim shoes, sailing booties or Crocs).

"I would thoroughly recommend this sailing camp — it is fun, educational and was a great way to spend two weeks on the waters of Sanibel and Captiva," said Colley. "Both of my children enjoyed it so much that they will be taking part in the sailing camp again this summer.”

Bridgit Stone-Budd, director of marketing for the Sanibel & Captiva Chamber of Commerce, said that all three of her children who participated last summer will be enrolled in this year's camp.

"Now we can take the boat out as a family... and I don't have to do a thing," Stone-Budd quipped. "My kids know more about boating than even we do as adults. They even correct us — 'Mom, it's not a rope. It's a line!'"

Heidrick also said the sailing camp also gives parents another alternative in choosing camps for their children.

“We’re so lucky to have so many options for summer camp,” he added. “It’s one more way for the child to enjoy the atmosphere where we live.”

Enrollment is limited, so enroll early to ensure selection of your preferred session. Currently, there are 12 spots available during the June session and just four spots open in July.

Relationship between teat-end callosity and ...

Title Relationship between teat-end callosity and occurrence of clinical mastitis
Author(s) F. Neijenhuis, H. W. Barkema, H. Hogeveen, J. P. Noordhuizen
Journal Journal of Dairy Science
Date 2001
Volume 84
Issue 12
Start page 2664
End page 2672
Abstract A longitudinal study in 15 herds, with a total of 2157 cows, was conducted to examine the relationship between teat-end callosity (TEC) and the incidence of clinical mastitis. During the 1.5-yr study period, clinical mastitis was diagnosed by the farmers based on clinical signs. Teat-end callosity was scored every month according to a teat-end callosity classification system, which discriminates between teat-end callosity thickness (TECT) and roughness (TECR). Differences in TECT between healthy and clinical mastitis quarters within infected cows were small but significant 3 mo before (0.13 higher), in the month during which the clinical mastitis occurred (0.08 higher), and in the following 2 mo (0.06 and 0.05 higher). To compare TECT and TECR between cows with and without clinical mastitis, 199 cows with clinical mastitis were paired with control cows based on herd, days in milk, and parity. Clinical mastitis cows had more TEC than their healthy herd mates, particularly when clinical mastitis occurred between the second and fifth months of lactation. Clinical Escherichia coli mastitis in the second or third month of lactation occurred in cows with less TEC than in cows with clinical mastitis caused by other pathogens. Clinical culture-negative, yeast, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterobacter aerogenes mastitis cows had more TECT and TECR than other cows with clinical mastitis in the same month of lactation. Pointed teat ends had higher TECT and TECR than flat or inverted teat ends. Teat-end callosity thickness increased with a higher milk yield at peak production.

Netanyahu: Don't Get to the Point that It's Too Late

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, Sunday, that the threats against Israel should not reach the stage where it's too late to act against them. Addressing the opening observance for Holocaust Remembrance Day at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Institution in Jerusalem, Netanyahu noted that by the time people realized what was going on under the Nazi regime in World War II Germany, it was too late.

Yehoram Gaon: Did Police Need Rabbis’ Fingerprints?

Legendary singer questions wisdom of state actions against Rabbis Lior and Yosef.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 7/10/2011, 12:48 PM / Last Update: 7/10/2011, 12:56 PM

Flash 90

Yehoram Gaon, legendary Israeli singer-actor and cultural icon, questioned the state’s wisdom in arresting Rabbis Dov Lior and Yaakov Yosef over their “haskama” to a book called “Torat HaMelech” (“The King’s Torah”).

Gaon hosts a weekly radio show on government-run Voice of Israel Radio / Reshet Bet
Gaon hinted that the state authorities had made a mistake by placing Torat HaMelech in the spotlight, when it would have gone unnoticed otherwise. “I, for one, would never have reached this book – what interest would I have in Halakhic quotes about morals in wartime? – but how do you explain the fact that for two weeks since I went out and looked for the book, I have been reading it and trying to understand what the fuss is about…?”
Gaon made clear that his criticism of the law enforcement authorities does not mean that he supports the rabbis’ refusal to show up for questioning. From the moment the rabbis were summoned, he opined, they had no option but to comply immediately with it. He cited the famous precept “dina demalchuta dina,” which enjoins Jews to respect the law of the land wherever they might be.
“Without respect for the State, Torah will not be heard in our region either – only the roars, growls and barks of the multitude. Respect for the State in the only glue holding us together, secular and hareidi-religious Jews.”
Were a rabbi called in for questioning over suspicion of theft or bribery, noted Gaon, no one would have said anything. The anger over the arrests erupted because the rabbis were not suspected of a criminal deed but about “philosophical musings,” he explained, and this is “a twilight zone.”
The police could have asked the rabbi same questions they asked him in the interrogation room over the phone, protested Gaon. Not only that, but they took his fingerprint “so that if he picks someone’s pocket, they will have his thumbprint in the offenders’ registry,” he added sarcastically.
“The rule of law is above everything, even above the rabbis, and because it is so strong, exclusive… it should be completely self confident and not just right or just. It should also be smart,” Gaon added.

Netanyahu: Khamenei Rules Iran, Not Rouhani

The world must insist on tough negotiations that ensure Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon, Prime Minister Netanyahu tells NBC.

Flash 90

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Wednesday urged the world to insist on tough negotiations that ensure Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon.

Speaking to NBC News a day after his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Netanyahu cautioned against Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's charm offensive, which he described as a strategy carried out to woo the West at the behest of the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

"[The Iranian people] are governed not by Rouhani. They're governed by Ayatollah Khamenei. He heads a cult. That cult is wild in its ambitions and its aggression," Netanyahu said.

The prime minister also criticized Rouhani's tone as duplicitous.

"He calls the shots, Khamenei. [Rouhani] tells him — he tells his boss, the dictator of Iran, 'I can get you the completion of the nuclear program by speaking nicely to the West. I can — what [former President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad tried to do with a frown, I'll do with a smile,'" Netanyahu said.

Parts of the interview will air Wednesday evening on NBC Nightly News, with more on Thursday morning on Today.

Since being elected Rouhani, who the West has branded as a “moderate”, has indicated an interest in a deal on Iran’s nuclear program, with hopes that the harsh sanctions imposed on the country would be lifted if it negotiated more with the West.

Iran has said its program is peaceful and Rouhani last month said the country will never develop nuclear weapons, but the West has long suspected — and Israel insists — that Tehran has designs on a nuclear bomb.

In an address to the United Nations General Assembly last week in New York, President Barack Obama said the United States is determined to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, but would not interfere with the country’s peaceful exploration of nuclear energy.

At that General Assembly, Rouhani struck a more moderate tone than his predecessor, Ahmadinejad, which was seen as a step in the right direction by some foreign policy observers.

But Netanyahu on Wednesday cautioned that the only difference between the two presidents is a difference in style, not policy, and that Iran's goal continues to be the development of nuclear weapons.

"Ahmadinejad was a wolf in wolf's clothing. And Rouhani is a wolf in sheep's clothing. But it doesn't mean we should let him...pull the wool over our eyes," he told NBC.

"I say, distrust, dismantle, verify,” he added.

Netanyahu said he is open to a diplomatic solution that would dismantle Iran's nuclear program, but said the key was to maintain the pressure through sanctions and a credible military threat.

"They're on the ropes. If you want to knock out Iran's nuclear weapons program peacefully, then don't let up the pressure," Netanyahu urged. "Keep the sanctions up. And that will prevent Iran from arming itself. And that, too, will prevent the next war. Be firm to prevent the next war."

Indian Stock Market Closing Report : Tech stocks save the day

 October 23, 2009 12:34 PM

Friday 23rd October, 2009

Breaking a three day jinx, the benchmark indices closed in the positive today but the gain turned out to be a marginal one. While Sensex edged higher by nearly 20 points today, Nifty managed to close with gains of around 10 points. BSE Mid cap and Small cap indices also ended in the green, managing gains of 1% and 0.3% respectively. The breadth amongst Sensex stocks remained in favour of advances as nearly 6 stocks gained for every 4 that declined. Among sectors, tech was the clear winner with all the three top players viz. TCS, Infosys and Wipro recording robust gains.

While Asia closed strong today, buying activity is also being witnessed across Europe currently. The rupee was trading at Rs 46.5 to the dollar at the time of writing.

Although India closed higher today, its continued underperformance with respect to the other Asian markets seems a little baffling. It has to be remembered that a similar fate lay in store for the Chinese markets earlier this year when concerns of a bubble being formed there forced investors to pull money out of the Chinese markets. Now, with that fear being put to rest by the Chinese authorities, perhaps the Chinese markets are attracting more investments and some of it is going out of India as well.

The fact that the Indian markets are not looking attractive from a near term perspective is not helping matters either. However, we believe that any deeper correction of such sort may not be a bad thing for a long-term investor as he would then get a chance to enter at a relatively cheaper level and gain that much more from the long-term India growth story.

ITC, the cigarettes to hotels conglomerate emerged the strongest on the Nifty today, ending higher by 5%. The buoyancy could be a result of the company's good show during the September quarter. Riding on the back of a robust 21% growth in its cigarettes business, the company logged in a topline growth in the region of 13% during the quarter on a YoY basis. Even more impressive was the margin expansion of the company where it managed to expand operating margin by 5% and hence grow its operating profits by a much higher 31% and its net profits by 26% YoY. The company's hotel business continued to disappoint as revenues fell 24% YoY. Besides cigarettes, the agri business also performed well, growing its revenues by 19% YoY.

Steel major Tata Steel continued to trade weak as it lost another 2% on the bourses today. While we see no major reason for weakness in the country, it could be put down to profit booking as the stock has gained handsomely since the start of the current bull run. In fact, investors have started wondering whether the stock has run ahead of its fundamentals. After all, Corus, its overseas subsidiary is showing little signs of revival and its Indian operations may also start facing the heat once RBI starts tightening monetary policy. Having said that, its stellar track record and integrated domestic operations makes it a good long term play.

Genealogy in Colfelice

back to Colfelice main page

If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Colfelice, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.

Registry offices in Lazio and in Frosinone province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Colfelice registrar as of that date.

So, if your ancestors were in Colfelice in the nineteenth or twentieth century, then you could try to contact the City Office of Colfelice to know more.

Would you like to know if any distant relatives live in Colfelice?

Check how many people with the same surname live today in Colfelice

Before to start your genealogy research in Colfelice, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Lazio and in Colfelice too.

In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Colfelice from the Italian Unification (1861).

It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Colfelice. As more your surname is common in Colfelice, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Colfelice archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Frosinone province are:
Alonzi, Bianchi, Campoli, Carnevale, De Santis, Evangelista, Fiorini, Gabriele, Iafrate, Lisi, Mancini, Martini, Palombo, Rea, Ricci, Rossi, Scaccia, Spaziani, Valente, Venditti.

Church archives in Frosinone province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.

If you have the opportunity to visit Colfelice and Frosinone province, you could plan to investigate churches’ archives by yourself (or with us!), but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.

Another important source of information is the “Archivio di Stato” (National archive) in Bari.

In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.

It’s important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)

If you are interested to start or to continue your genealogy research in Colfelice, or if you have questions regarding your family in Colfelice, just leave a message below, we will answer you by email

MLK Scholar Program Recognized, SACL Staff Involved at State Conference

Contributed by Doreen Hettich-Atkins

 The CSPA-NYS Conference was held from October 5-9, 2013 in Rochester, NY. The Martin Luther King Scholar Program received a prestigious award, Doreen Hettich-Atkins holds a key role in the organization, and Michele Lenhart was an invited speaker.

The Martin Luther King Scholars program was recognized by CSPA-NYS as the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Social Justice Award.  This award “honor[s] a New York state resident for outstanding service or significant contributions to social justice. Recipients of this award must have contributed significantly to or provided outstanding service to the state in general, and the higher education community in particular, through their commitment to social justice.”  In an exception to the criteria as written, this award was given to the program rather than to an individual citizen as recognition of the outstanding work the program does in supporting and grooming students to life the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Doreen Hettich-Atkins, Senior Assistant to the Senior Associate Vice President, was recently elected as the President-Elect of this statewide organization, which is affiliated with ACPA-College Student Educators International.  Doreen will begin this 3-year term as president starting November 1, 2013.  This will be Doreen’s second time in this role.  She finished her first 3-year term as president-elect/president/past-president in 2011.

Michele Lenhart, Director of Student Leadership and Involvement in the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs, served as a faculty member for the Mid-level Manager’s pre-conference.  Michele spoke to the group about  “Managing and Supervising a Whole Department”.

Two Ithaca College students attended the Next-Gen pre-conference event that is designed to introduce interested undergraduates to careers in Student Affairs.  Four additional staff members from the Office of State Grants, Residential Life, and OSEMA attended the full conference.

Keith Schofield: The Bark Side

Posted by Rob Alderson,

Sometimes we spend a while researching our posts, sweating over exactly the right wording to present creative work in all its glory. Sometimes though, we simply need to say what we see. The ever-brilliant Keith Schofield (of Big Bad Wolf’s Duck Sauce fame) presents a chorus of barking dogs singing the Star Wars theme in a new Volkswagen advert. Stick a fork in us, we’re done!

  1. Vw-int-list

    We’ve all told lies, or at least tinkered with the truth either for our own sake or for someone else’s. A new tongue-in-cheek print campaign for Volkswagen’s used cars sees parents’ white lies recast as a metaphor for untrustworthy sellers. “If they lie to their kids, what will they tell you when they sell you their car?” the adverts read. The simple blue and red visuals show parents and children in varying situations, lying about a dead fish, a particularly ugly drawing or a ridiculous hat. “It’s not ugly, it’s called fashion,” a mother says, shoving a bobble hat on her unwitting son’s little head.

  2. Hn-itsnicethat-list

    Luxury department store Harvey Nichols’ publicity team has proven its shame game is on point this week, with a new advert incorporating animated cartoon characters in real CCTV footage of theft, taken from cameras inside the store. Dennis the Menace-style heads created by animation duo the Layzell Brothers have been added to the grainy black and white footage of shoplifters filling their pockets with goods – whistling and looking around shiftily all the while, and then being caught legging it out of the store.

  3. List-its-nice-that-boob-soap-good-cop-bad-cop

    A former nightclub and current church in south London’s Brixton isn’t the most likely location for an art school. But for the School of Communication Arts, it’s the perfect fit. “I like the churches for their space – they’re nice and open so ideas can flow around the studio,” says Marc Lewis, the school’s Dean. “Our space used to be MASS Nightclub, my office used to be the DJ booth.”

  4. Saaatchi-and-saatchi-rekorderlig-silver-skaters-its-nice-that-list

    First we had the John Smiths ad that proved a very ordinary bloke could be a dab hand at rhythmic gymnastics, now we bring you a surreal ad that shows that two less ordinary, but very beardy blokes are a veritable Scandi Torvill and Dean. The spot for Rekorlderlig cider by Saatchi & Saatchi documents two very talented figure skaters training under the watchful eye of their devoted, less hirsute coach. It’s infused with grace and oddball humour, and was “born out of the thought that there is something beautifully invigorating and refreshing about seeing someone skating on ice on a sunny day when the sky is blue,” according to the agency. Brilliantly bizarre and, as the streamline goes, “beautifully Swedish.”

  5. John-smiths-somesuch-its-nice-that-list

    Whether or not you loved or hated that John Lewis Christmas ad with the sweet little penguin, there’s no denying that it got people talking. From the same agency – Adam&Eve/DDB – is an ad that’s made us laugh, smile and “awww” til the metaphorical cows come home, in the shape of this spot for John Smith’s. In it, we meet dairy farmer Keith Beasley, who turns out to use his muddy daily existence as a springboard for something rather more graceful. The Channel 4 documentary-style voiceover and the casting are spot on, with brilliant direction from creative studio Somesuch. We won’t spoil the surprise, just watch it. You won’t be disappointed.

  6. 5173

    As the creative world digests last night’s big D&AD winners (those that scooped Black and White Pencils), there was a host of interesting work recognised in the 44 Yellow Pencils given out at the London awards bash. In total, the D&AD juries considered 847 projects this year and so less than one in 20 made the prestigious Yellow Pencil cut. Here’s our rundown of those winners that caught our eye for one reason or another – you can see the full list of winners over on the D&AD site here.

  7. Michaelbuck-airbnb-house-list

    A few years ago there was a great deal of interest in Artangel’s A Room for London project, which saw Fiona Banner and David Kohn Architects build a boat you could stay in high above the South Bank. Today Airbnb has twisted that idea round for its own stunt, floating a 70-tonne house down the River Thames. Designed by Steve and Nick Tidball, creative directors of the TBWA agency, it includes two bedrooms, a working bathroom and a garden with real grass and an apple tree. It will meander up and down the river throughout the week, hosting various events and even some sleepovers.

  8. Ogilvy_dog_batterseafull-its-nice-that-list

    OgilvyOne UK and Framestore have made a sweet, scruffy little dog called Barley on a billboard seem to follow people around, looking them in the eye and wagging his tail in response to the movements of passers-by. The campaign for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, called #LookingForYou sees billboards at east London’s Westfield Stratford City shopping centre “come to life” when people take a leaflet about the charity. Each leaflet contains an RFID tag which activates Barley – a former Battersea dog – to follow them as they walk past the billboards and interact with them. It’s a sweet campaign that goes hard on the emotional pull, perhaps likely to affect those in the strange dystopia of a huge shopping centre more than most. Aside from the cuteness, the tech is very impressive, and it’s worth noting that Framestore was also behind one of the most heart-string-tugging films of the past few years, Paddington.

  9. Scottking-popkultur-itsnicethat-list

    There used to be a comedy on British TV called Goodness Gracious Me which had a sketch where an Indian father would tell his son that every public figure you could possibly think of – from the Queen to David Beckham – was in fact Indian. There was something very funny about his claiming credit for anyone and everyone, and I was reminded of that idea when I saw Scott King’s new campaign for the Pop-Kultur festival.

  10. Obv-campaign-itsnicethat-list

    The impending general election in Britain is encouraging a spurt of striking advertising campaigns and creative efforts to encourage potential voters, not least Pentagram’s “Give an X” campaign, and this new offering by Saatchi & Saatchi for Operation Black Vote is particularly powerful. The campaign is intended to boost the numbers of black, Asian and ethnic minority voters, in order to attain greater representation of Britain’s diverse population in government. Featuring Paralympic athlete Ade Adepitan, actor David Harewood, rapper Tinie Tempah and footballer Sol Campbell with their faces painted white, the campaign reasserts the quotation “If you don’t register to vote, you’re taking the colour out of Britain.”

  11. List

    If you’re a luddite like me you’ll find that most technology needs careful and thorough explanation – ideally some kind of video infomercial that leads me step-by-step through the device at hand. Now that I think about it I’d also like the instructions to be given by an attractive female presenter with an overdubbed male voice; she should be smoking occasionally and if possible exude an air of insouciance. The guys at Impossible and Stark Films have been kind enough to meet all these stringent requirements in their latest promotion for Instant Lab, a product which prints polaroids directly from your phone, showing off all the gadget’s new features. They’re also offering 10% off the Instant Lab to our readers by using the discount code “itsnicethat” in their online shop. What a friendly bunch!

  12. Wieden_kennedy-nike-itsnicethat-list

    The US Masters is arguably the most anticipated event in the golfing world, and as Thursday’s tee-off draws ever nearer all eyes are on British hopeful Rory McIlroy. But as ever there’s also a lot of attention on Tiger Woods, whose scintillating talent can’t be ignored despite his much-publicised personal problems. With a lot made of the showdown between the two, it’s interesting to think that for years Rory idolised Tiger and this journey from fanboy to rival is played out with typical aplomb in Wieden + Kennedy’s new Nike spot.

  13. Rickygervais-netflix-int-list

    Ricky Gervais is a figure who splits opinion and for every acolyte who hails him as the saviour of contemporary comedy, there’s plenty more who just can’t stand that laugh. I happen to be in the former camp and I am also a fan of postmodern advertising, so these new spots for Optus push pretty much all of my buttons. Commissioned to promote the Australian telecoms company bringing Netflix Down Under, Gervais is on typically obtuse form, whingeing about the expectations put on him, shamelessly plugging his own successes and revelling in his own unprofessionalism. Your views on Gervais will dictate your reaction to these, but if like me you enjoy his posturing then there’s plenty here to enjoy.

Drivers facing severe delays after M25 fatal crash

Hundreds of drivers are facing long delays today as the M25 in Essex remains closed.

The M25 in Essex is closed in both directions between J23 (A1) - J27 (M11) clockwise, and J27 (M11) - J25 (Cheshunt) anti clockwise due to an incident. Early estimation is that both carriageways are likely to remain closed throughout the morning.

Diversion routes are in place.

Clockwise: road users may exit the M25 at junction 23 and follow the A1 southbound. Then join the A406 North Circular Road towards the M11. Join the M11 northbound, to re-join the M25 at junction 27.

– Highways Agency

Anti-clockwise: road users may exit the M25 at junction 27 and follow the 'hollow black square' diversion signage via the M11 southbound. A406 westbound and the A10 northbound.

Traffic approaching from Kent and Sussex wishing to travel to the North is advised to use the M25 clockwise.

Traffic approaching from the North (M1, A1, M40 etc) wishing to travel to Kent and Sussex is advised to use the M25 anti-clockwise.

M25 likely to stay closed for most of the morning

Investigations are continuing and police are also working with the Highways Agency to clear the carriageways of debris so that repairs and resurfacing can be carried out.

Billion pound boost for London's motorways

The government money will go towards making road improvements across London and the South East Credit: Steve Parsons/PA Archive

Plans to unveil a two billion pound boost to improve roads across London and the South East will be unveiled by the government later today.

The money will go towards expanding junctions on the M25 as well as building a new bypass on the A27.

Dartford toll booth removal begins

Drivers will no longer have to stop at toll booths Credit: PA

Work began at 6am today to remove 27 toll booths on the southern end of the Dartford Crossing.

The booths on Britain's busiest motorway are being scrapped and replaced with an electronic payment system.

The changes at the Dartford Crossing on the M25 east of London are designed to improve traffic flow.

But the removal of the 27 toll booths at the southern end of the crossing will result in roadworks until March 2015.

And car drivers using the crossing will from today face a higher daily charge - with the fee, also payable by phone or post as well as online, going up from £2 to £2.50. Charges are also rising for goods vehicles.

It's hoped the changes will ease congestion Credit: PA

The Highways Agency is hoping for a minimum of congestion at the start of the new system.

An agency spokesman said: "We're starting at 6am on a Sunday when traffic will be comparatively light and there will be plenty of signs up to tell people about the new arrangement.

"Monday morning will be more of a test but we are trying to do everything we can to let people know about the changes."

M25 horror stories, as three lanes remain closed

Motorists have taken to social media to bemoan their miserable Friday commutes, as three lanes of the M25 remain closed following rain damage to the road surface near Leatherhead this morning.

  1. Meridian

M25 lanes to remain closed until this evening

Lanes between J9 and J10 won't reopen until this evening

Delays on the M25 are set to continue until this evening as three lanes remain closed anti-clockwise between Junctions 9 and 10 near Leatherhead.

Motorists are being advised to avoid the area if possible, due to the long delays. Passengers travelling to Gatwick Airport are being urged to allow extra time for their journey or take alternative routes.

The Highways Agency is still trying to repair an earlier road collapse and determine the cause of the defect.

"Long delays are likely until the motorway fully reopens"

– Highways Agency

Time running out for M25 repair ahead of Friday rush

The Highways Agency is running out of time in its efforts to complete a carriageway repair ahead of the Friday night rush. Three lanes have been closed all day on the anti-clockwise section near junction 9 at Leatherhead, after the road surface was damaged in heavy rain.

Queues are already tailing back to junction 12, and two more layers still need to be added to the road surface before it can be reopened, with time needed for each layer to dry before the next one can be started. Anyone who can avoid the area is being advised to find an alternative route.

Bank of England: No evidence staff involved in Forex scandal

The Bank of England has said there is no evidence any of its officials were involved in any "unlawful or improper behaviour" in relation to the foreign exchange market.

The Bank published an independent report by Lord Grabiner QC covering the period 2005-2013, which found that no Bank staff were aware of any improper behaviour by banks caught up in a wide-ranging Forex scandal.

Barclays not named as part of regulator settlement

Five banks have been issued fines by the Financial Conduct Authority over the foreign exchange (Forex) rigging scandal for "failing to control business practices".

The penalties are as follows:

  • HSBC - £216,363,000
  • Citibank - £225,575,000
  • JPMorgan Chase Bank £222,166,000
  • Royal Bank of Scotland £217,000,000
  • UBS - £233,814,000

Barclays has not been named as one of the banks taking part in the FCA settlement.

Six banks brace for heavy fines over Forex scandal

Six banking firms are braced for heavy fines over the foreign exchange (Forex) rigging scandal.

HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Citigroup, UBS and JP Morgan have all set aside money to pay whatever penalty the Financial Conduct Authority deems necessary.

ITV News Economics Editor Joel Hills explains:

Banks could face £1.4bn fines over Forex rigging scandal

The City regulator looks set to impose more than £1 billion in penalties on banks caught up in the foreign exchange (Forex) rigging scandal.

Six firms are said to have been in talks with the Financial Conduct Authority to reach a settlement over the alleged misconduct relating to the £3 trillion-a-day market.

Reports suggest each bank could face a penalty of between £225 million and £250 million, adding up to around £1.4 billion in total.

This would dwarf the £532 million in penalties imposed by the regulator on banks and City brokers over the previous big regulatory scandal involving the manipulation of the interbank lending rate, Libor.

Cable welcomes banking competition probe

Business Secretary Vince Cable has welcomed the launch of an inquiry into the dominance of major banks in the UK.

Mr Cable said Britain needed a "more competitive and effective banking market" that gives consumers more choice away from the big banks.

Business leaders also welcomed the CMA's announcement which "put business banking under the microscope".

John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said Britain's "dysfunctional banking sector" which "impeded the growth prospects" of companies needed to be reviewed.

Major banks to face competition investigation

An in-depth competition investigation is to take place into the market for personal and business accounts.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it was concerned over the low levels of customers switching amid the "limited transparency and difficulties" in making comparisons between banks.

It said there had been "very little movement" in the market shares of the four largest banks, which are Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).

The CMA also said it would investigate the continuing barriers of entry and expansion in the sector, which "limit the ability of smaller and newer providers to develop their businesses".

HSBC puts aside £236m for foreign exchange investigation

HSBC has put aside £236 million to cover a regulatory investigation into the rigging of foreign exchange (forex) markets, the bank has revealed.

It means the total set aside by the UK major banks so far to more than £1 billion after Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland said last week that they were putting aside £500 million and £400 million respectively.

HSBC puts aside £236m to cover forex investigation

HSBC has also added £438.9 million to its bill for customer redress in the UK, including for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI).

The company's reported profits for the three months to September 30 were 2% higher at £2.88 billion.

Salmond hits out at 'Treasury leak' over flight of banks

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond has accused the UK Government of "scaremongering" over the possible flight of businesses to England in the event of a Yes vote.

He told BBC Radio Scotland that a source "within the Treasury" had leaked information about RBS and other banks making contingency plans to move operations south.

He said the official announcements later issued by the banks "makes clear there's no impact on operations or jobs".

He also told reporters there would be an "inevitable investigation" into the leaking of "market sensitive information".

Sir George Young - another name linked with an exit from the cabinet this week - was also seen arriving at Number 10 today.

However, Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Employment Minister Esther McVey, spotted arriving at the Prime Minister's headquarters together, were said to be there on "departmental business".

Ms McVey, education minister Liz Truss and ministerial aide Penny Morduant are among a number of women that have been tipped for more senior roles in government as David Cameron seems likely to promote a host of younger talent.

Locally-Inspired Seasonal American Cuisine

Who We Are

The Ivy Inn Restaurant is located near the University of Virginia. We feature Locally-Inspired Seasonal American Cuisine. We have 4 dining rooms inside our historic house and a large tented garden patio.

Our Reviews

"We hosted a wedding welcome dinner here a few weeks ago and are happy we did. Angelo and his team are fantastic! We had a large party so got a private room with two attentive servers.  Creating the menu was fun, and Angelo was very easy to work with.  While the menu is not typically heavy on Greek food, we had Greek appetizer platters for our guests and some wonderful entrees and Greek wedding cookies for desert.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and occupies an old house. Perhaps we dined in the bedroom? Nonetheless, excellent service, great food. Pumpkin ravioli was very good, and my guests could not stop raving about the lamb."

A cat died and went to Heaven. God met her at the gates and said, “You have been a good cat all these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.”

The cat thought for a minute and then said, “All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard wooden floors I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on.”

God said, “Say no more.” Instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow.

A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to Heaven together. God met the mice at the gates with the same offer that He made to the cat.

The mice said, “Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats, dogs, and even people with brooms! If we could just have some little roller skates, we would not have to run again.”

God answered, “It is done.” All the mice had beautiful little roller skates.

About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, “Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?”

The cat replied, “Oh, it is WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my life. The pillow is so fluffy, and those little Meals on Wheels you have been sending over are delicious!”

27. Why is fasting essential ?

Bhadrabahu Vijay

The body experiences weakness by fasting and hunger but that weakness is not caused by the absence of food but because the unclean stuff is cast off. After the body is purified strength returns to the body. It acquires freshness and agility. In this, there is no wonder. After the foreign, unwanted substances are removed from the body, health naturally appears in it.

Normally, in the body heat is always being produced. hence, there is always a certain degree of heat in the body. In the Jain terminolgy, this process may be given the, Taijas Sharir or Taijas Namkarma. To keep this process of the production of heat continuing, fuel is necessary. Most of the fuel is obtained from the carbohydrates and fats in our food. But during the period of Upavas fasting when the consumption of food has been stopped, the remaining oart of the food gets urnt and assimilated. Hence, during Upavas (fasing period) the fats soon decreases; and like fats the strength of the liver, the spleen and muscless also gets reduced but the brain never grows weak and never sustains even the slightest loss; so we get sound sleep. The thoughts become wholesome and pure. In the begining, the foul stuff found in the body may appear on the tongue; may come out in form of spittle; may cause giddiness etc., but gradually, everything gets all right.

Upavas is useful in getting rid of such diseases as fever, smallpox, measles, asthma, blood pressure, eczema etc. By means of Upavas the children of a doctor in America by name, Edward David, were saved from the dreadful disease of Diphtheria. In his book, The Non-breakfast plan and Fasting Cure, the doctor has written that during illness, it is far better to fast than to take fod or medicines because by that means, health can be soon recovered.

Panahar (Pachchakkhan of the Evening)

In this Pachchakkhan, fasting is observed during the previous night hours as a part of such austerities as upavas, ayambil, Ekasan, and Biyasan etc.

Taking a vow not to take any food or drink after the sunset till sunrise.

Taking a vow not to take any food or any other drink except water after the sunset. Even water should be taken only upto 12 p.m.

“Destroy the throne of Zion, the house of absolute evil,” the song goes. “Raise the banner of victory. Be like the fire of a volcano. Repeat in the name of your Jihad: Death to Israel! With blood and fire, resist until freedom. Defeat the soldiers of aggression the enemies of humanity.”

The tune is illustrated with video of rockets being launched from Gaza, presumably, into Israel, the Zionist state, as well as other war scenes.

WWII Photos

A real live look at a WW-II-era Japanese Sword "factory"    Helping to keep the Japanese Army troops supplied with nicely polished and properly assembled swords was part of the all out effort that even involved school age children.
yamashita_drawing_tm.jpg Yamashita autograph - this pencil drawing was given to me by William Howard. It's a sketch of General Yamashita during the War Crimes trials in Manila in 1945. The drawing was made by one of his American court-appointed defense councils (George Guy) during the trial and is signed by the General.
WW2 Pilot's Gunto - at last, the story can be told of the almost mythical Pilot's Gunto. Like a regular Army Officer's Gunto, only scaled down in size (including the fittings), legend has it that these were carried by fighter pilots who wanted a smaller scale sword that would fit in the cockpit with them when they flew on missions.  Needless to say, with such a story associated with them, when one does show up on the market every 5 years or so, it commands a hefty price.  But alas, no photos of a Japanese officer actually carrying such a Gunto have ever been found.  But thanks to an original photo album which I procured may years back, the true origin of the "Pilot's Gunto" can be told.
Generals MacArthur & Yamashita 'crossing paths' at the 1st day of the Manila War Crimes Trials in 1945.

Military courtesy dictated that General Yamashita be permitted to wear his sword during the trial.

Most of the below photos were given to me a number of years ago by retired Captain Morris B. Haskell who also sold his swords to me.

He told me that he felt very fortunate to have been at the point of surrender to take photos ( the 2nd & 3rd photo's below) of the 'Tiger of Malaya' and his staff.

U.S. soldiers making the initial contact with General Yamashita and later, after his surrender in northern Luzon, (Baguio),Philippines, the General and his troops were escorted down from the hills.  (The General is leading his troops !)

As he was the senior officer in The Philippines, in spite of the fact that he and his Army troops actually gave up fighting and were up in the hills of Northern Luzon, it was determined at his trial that he was fully responsible for the war crimes committed by die-hard Japanese navel forces in Manila during the closing days of the war and, he was subsequently hung.

Japan’s carmakers tooling up for China

Local ventures start high-end, but gear for the masses

BEIJING — Zhao Xue Bo, an international relations researcher at Beijing Broadcasting Institute, a national university, has been saving money for some time to buy a new car.

With a job that secures him an annual salary of about 36,000 yuan (roughly 576,000 yen), almost twice the average annual income of a wage-earner in the capital, the 37-year-old Zhao said he hopes to buy a Japanese brand because he believes they have high quality and are fuel efficient.

“But they are still very expensive,” said Zhao, who already owns an apartment near the university. He said he would be willing to buy a car for a little more than 100,000 yuan, or 1.6 million yen. “I’m waiting for the right kind of car with an affordable price to be released.”

Although cars are still essentially a luxury for most Chinese, it may not be long before Zhao can fulfill his desire to have his own set of wheels.

Aware that the Chinese market has thousands of potential customers like Zhao, Japanese automakers are zeroing in on China, where the door to all-out competition has just opened.

Japanese automakers are not only increasing their lineups to be shipped from Japan, they are opting for local production to meet an expected boost in demand and to expand their presence in the market.

Such maneuvers may eventually lower car prices in China and provide customers with a wider variety of vehicles. But producers will also face challenges, including environmental issues that Japan is no stranger to.

Amid China’s high economic growth in recent years, the nation has been strengthening its car market partly by welcoming foreign manufacturers.

Last year, the government set an annual target that between 3.1 million and 3.3 million cars, trucks, and buses will be sold domestically by 2005. This includes between 1.1 million and 1.2 million cars. These figures would mark a significant leap from 2001, when 2.36 million cars, trucks and buses were sold, including 720,000 cars.

Compared with the roughly 4.28 million cars sold in Japan and 8.42 million sold in the United States in 2001, the scale of the Chinese market is still small. But automakers are attracted by the market’s energetic growth.

Among the commitments China has made with its entry to the World Trade Organization is to cut gradually its tariff on imported automobiles, from the current level of between 70 percent and 80 percent to 25 percent by July 2006.

In addition, import quotas on cars — $6 billion for this year — will be increased by 15 percent each year, and will be completely eliminated by 2005.

Since January, the tariff has been trimmed to 43.8 percent for cars with engine displacements below 3,000cc.

The cut has resulted in lower imported car prices. In May alone, 8,493 Japanese cars were shipped to China, compared with 5,528 in the same month of 2001.

China has pledged to cut its tariffs on knockdown components, which are sent to plants for assembly, from an average of 28 percent to 10 percent by July 2006. And within two years, automakers will be freed from the restrictions on models they can produce locally.

Taking advantage of these deregulations, Japanese automakers are looking to increase their model lineups by exporting luxury cars and specialty cars whose demand will be limited, while using their local assembly plants to make cars to meet the major market demand, manufacturers said.

Honda Motor Co., one of the first Japanese automakers to launch local production, began assembling its 2.3-liter Accord luxury sedan at Guangzhou Honda Automobile Co. in March 1999. It sold 51,000 units in 2001 alone.

Honda began manufacturing its 2.3-liter Odyssey minivan in April. Both the Accord and Odyssey are priced at 289,000 yuan, or more than 4.7 million yen, but production is in full swing, according to Koji Kadowaki, president of Guangzhou Honda. The firm plans to manufacture 45,000 Accords and 14,000 Odysseys this year.

Other popular luxury sedans include the Passat made by German automaker Volkswagen AG and the Buick GL produced by General Motors Corp. of the U.S. Both are as expensive as the Honda models and are assembled in China by joint ventures.

In past decades, cars were bought by government authorities and corporations and used for chauffeuring officials and executives around.

In recent years, however, luxury cars are being purchased by prosperous individuals, Kadowaki said.

While the market will be led for the time being by the limited few who can afford such luxury cars, the expanding middle class in major coastal cities will eventually boost demand for smaller, more affordable cars, he said.

“It’s almost similar to the dawn of the ‘my-car’ boom Japan experienced after the (1964) Tokyo Olympics,” Kadowaki said, noting that Japan’s car culture was born amid the high economic growth and personal income surge in the late 1960s, led initially by purchases of pricey vehicles, followed by affordable cars for the masses.

“But cars are better equipped today, and so it’s going to be high-standard competition here,” he said.

Honda said Wednesday it will begin producing a compact car at Guangzhou Honda and marketing it during the next business year year.

The joint venture’s yearly production capacity is being extended from 70,000 units to 120,000 by the end of December.

Honda and Suzuki Motor Corp. are among the Japanese automakers that began local production at joint ventures with Chinese manufacturers in the late 1990s.

Their market shares — Honda has 7.2 percent and Suzuki 6.9 percent — are far smaller than those of their Western competitors, including Volkswagen, which has been manufacturing at joint ventures since 1985 and with 50.7 percent holds the largest share.

Honda and Suzuki are ahead of their Japanese rivals in China. Competition, however, is expected to intensify, as other rivals, including Japan’s top automaker, Toyota Motor Corp., begins local production.

“I welcome the competition as long as it’s fair,” Kadowaki said. “It will motivate us to do even better.”

Minako Mori, an economist at the Japan Center for Economic Research, said the move toward local production in China is understandable, as most Japanese automakers tend to produce vehicles within their target markets.

However, things may not always go so smoothly in China, she said, noting that local strategies may have to change depending on the whims of the national or local governments, which have influence over Chinese participants in joint ventures.

In addition, the nearly 120 Chinese automakers are in the middle of an industry realignment that could force changes in joint ventures involving Japanese firms. They are struggling to survive international competition as foreign manufacturers sell higher quality products, she said.

At the Beijing Motor Show in June, Toyota unveiled a prototype of a 1.5-liter sedan, the first sporting the company’s logo to be manufactured in China. Production is to start in October.

The model, to be assembled at Tianjin Toyota Motor Co., is equipped with Toyota’s latest safety and low emission technologies, with the package designed for the Chinese market, the firm said.

“The economic car segment, where this car fits in, is the rising segment in the Chinese market,” Akio Toyoda, managing director at Toyota and head of the firm’s Chinese business, told a news conference.

“We’re confident that we will be able to contribute to China’s motorization with this car,” said Toyoda, who is a direct descendant of the firm’s founder, Kiichiro Toyoda. Toyota plans to produce 30,000 of the cars annually.

Tianjin Automotive Xial Corp., Toyota’s joint venture partner at Tianjin Toyota, will reportedly become a subsidiary of First Automobile Group, one of China’s major automakers.

While Toyota’s October rollout is still on schedule, the change in the situation of its partner is considered advantageous for its future plans.

Toyota President Fujio Cho recently said the firm will begin discussing the details of future projects with its new partner. “I think there are many ways to do business (with First Automobile Group), but we will not rush into things,” he said.

Nissan Motor Co. is meanwhile in discussions with Dongfeng Group, a major Chinese automaker group, looking to jointly manufacture cars. Nissan said earlier that it expects to reach an agreement by the end of the year.

“China is one of the most important prospects for Nissan,” the firm’s president, Carlos Ghosn, said at the Beijing Motor Show.

Ghosn also announced that Nissan will increase the lineup of cars to be assembled by its local partners by adding the Bluebird flagship model and Paladin sport utility vehicle.

Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp. are also scheduled to manufacture vehicles through Chinese local operations.

But a major challenge in China for Japanese carmakers will be establishing and increasing dealerships and marketing channels, said Yasuo Tsuchiya, a veteran analyst at Mitsubishi Research Institute.

Honda, Toyota and Mazda are among the firms that have begun addressing the issue, but Tsuchiya said China still lacks the infrastructure, including sales networks, necessary to sell cars. How to boost brand recognition is another hurdle, he added.

Future customers are meanwhile waiting to reap the benefits of the intensifying competition.

A snap survey of 36 college students at Beijing Broadcasting Institute showed all of them are considering buying cars when they become older — and richer. Many hope to buy one before they reach 30.

“I think cars will enrich the lives of Chinese people,” said Yu Peng Yuan, 21, who favors BMW but also likes Nissan and Honda.

“I would love to own a car, because I would be able to go anywhere with my friends freely,” another 21-year-old student said.

Chen Lei, 20, welcomed the local production efforts by Japanese carmakers as she believes they will allow China to obtain more technology.

But some voiced concern over the lack of parking spaces and the heavy traffic in big cities. Air pollution and a crude oil shortage may become acute if more Chinese buy cars, they said.

Kadowaki of Guangzhou Honda agreed. “The problems of the environment and lack of fuel that China faces will also affect Japan, since we are so close (geographically),” he said. “Although it’s up to the Chinese government to deal with such issues, we will also have to keep them in mind.”

Japan earns historic win over Italy

Japan proved it’s ready to mix it with the big boys of world rugby Saturday, beating Italy 26-23 to pick up the team’s 10th straight win and first ever over the Azzurri.

Inspired by some tremendous scrummaging the Brave Blossoms battered the opposition into submission, forcing the Italians to make a number of errors and ensuring the hosts never trailed in a game played in front of 13,816 at the Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground.

Akihito Yamada and Male Sa’u both scored tries and Ayumu Goromaru added four penalties and two conversions as Japan made it two wins in a year over Six Nations opponents (the third time overall), having beaten Wales last year at the same venue.

But unlike last year, when the Welsh could claim a number of their top players were away with the British and Irish Lions, this was pretty much the strongest side the Italians could put out bar injuries.

“All credit to Japan, they played very well,” said Italy captain Quintin Geldenhuys. “But we are disappointed in ourselves. Every time we went wide we lost the ball and that is unacceptable.”

As Geldenhuys admitted, however, part of that was down to the pressure the Italian halfbacks were under as Japan scrumhalf Fumiaki Tanaka proved to be the Jack Russell to flanker Justin Ives’ Doberman around the fringes.

“We showed plenty of courage out there,” said Japan head coach Eddie Jones, though he admitted his side’s performance left much to be desired, particularly early on.

“We didn’t handle the pressure well at the start, but regained our composure,” he said.

Jones went on to say the key to the victory was the performance of the forwards in the scrum.

“In test match rugby you need to find areas you can win and maximize those areas and I thought we did that well in the end.”

When pressed as to what areas Japan pushed forward its advantage, the 54-year-old said, “Definitely the scrum. We had the advantage there and took it. Apart from that not much else. But it is a testament to the team that we can win when things aren’t going well.”

The start of the game belied the fact that it was the hosts on a record winning streak and the visitors on an 8-match losing run, as Japan fluffed the kick-off, lost its opening line out and looked a wee bit unsteady at the scrum.

But Yamada’s try in the fourth minute — following a good break by Ryu Koliniasi Holani — helped settle the early nerves.

Yamada soon turned villain though as he was sent to the sin bin for a deliberate knock-on that saw Italy pull level at 10-10 following the resulting penalty try. And the teams went into the break all square at 13-13 after Goromaru and Luciano Orquera traded penalties.

The boot of the two kickers then dominated the early part of the second stanza before Sa’u finished off a period of sustained pressure, the Yamaha Jubilo and Rebels center using his strength and speed to go over the whitewash as Japan finally sucked in the Italian defense to create numbers out wide.

Some sloppy defense allowed Robert Barbieri to cross with six minutes left as the visitors looked to ruin the local fans’ day in the sun. But Japan’s forwards held firm and a big scrum at the end ensured there was no way back for Italy.

“It was a hard day at the office,” said a relieved Jones. “But test match rugby is all about winning.”

  1. Hello friends..I am new to this forum .
    I am developing small application using NetBeans 7.0 which has a JList on the form from the palette . I am filling the JList using the vector which contains records from database. But I can not clear the contents of the JList. Please help me friends. Here is my code

    private void dateChooserSelectedDatePropertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
            DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel();
            listSerialNo = new JList(model);
            UpdatePurchase updatePurchase = new UpdatePurchase();
            Vector<String> serialNo = new Vector<String>();
            serialNo = updatePurchase.getSerialNoForSelectedDate(date);

    If I use above code then neither Jlist contains any record nor it clears the contents of JList . If I remove
    DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel();
    listSerialNo = new JList(model);
    // if & else code from above code snippet
    then atleast JList contains some records for specific date if available.

    My aim is if there are records available for specific date then that record should be displayed in JList otherwise JList should be empty. Please guide me.
    Thanks .

Steve Dollar's 10 list · Dec 9th

  1. Angles of Repose. Maneri/Maneri/Phillips (ECM)
  2. Adobe. Tony Malaby. (Sunnyside).
  3. Mass for the Healing of the World. William Parker/Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra. (Black Saint).
  4. Holy Ghost. Albert Ayler. (Revenant).
  5. Which Way Is East. Lloyd/Higgins. (ECM)
  6. Together Again. Anderson/Drake. (Thrill Jockey).
  7. The Nights at Bradley’s. Kirk Lightsey. (Sunnyside).
  8. DJ Trio. Christian Marclay. (Asphodel).
  9. Brooklyn Cantos. Gold Sparkle Trio with Ken Vandermark. (Squealer).
  10. Nightmare Alley. Zeena Parkins. (Table of the Elements reissue).

Since moving to New York five years ago, my relationship to jazz has changed completely. Where recordings once were my primary medium for hearing the music, performance is how I mostly get my jollies now. An ACTUAL Top 10 list would therefore include such moments as discovering Tim Berne’s new quartet with Michael Attias at Barbes a few weeks ago—one of a zillion great shows I saw at the tiny Park Slope socio-politico-culturo hub this past year—and standing stage left as Ornette Coleman scattered “Bird” food for the seagulls (and about 7,000 listeners) at the 50th anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival. Matthew Shipp1s “Boxing and Jazz” gig at the Knitting Factory’s main space was as thrilling as music gets, the opening showcase concert for Jazz at Lincoln Center (televised on PBS) was as misbegotten as the music gets. (How I wish I had slipped over to the Allen Room for the Afro-Latin orchestra, surely more to the point). And so on. My list is more like a sample of the CDs that have accumulated on top of the TV set this year, destined for repeat spins. Unfortunately, it would be easier for me to pinpoint a good 20 CDs by “name” players that failed to hold my interest in 2004 (even though everyone else seems to like them)—as well as another 20 or 30 discs that I have yet to hear and should have.

Still the best reason to get married: So Steven Bernstein can headline the reception.

RIP: Raymond Ross. Sure hope he had a chance to see the Ayler box.

Steve Dollar is a freelance writer living in Brooklyn. He writes about jazz for Stereophile, and is a frequent contributor to Newsday, playboy.com, and various other publications. His book, Jazz Guide: New York City was published last year by the Little Bookroom.

About Me

I grew up in Israel and New York and have been in LA now for about 10 years. I have found that living here can be pretty great. There is so much to do and see so I'm hoping to find someone who's interested in exploring So Cal with me. I love to cook, go on road trips, go to the beach, hike, go out to dinner and travel, even if it's a quick weekend getaway with that special someone. I know its cliche, but I really do enjoy going out as well as staying home to cook dinner and watch a movie. I am very easy going and enjoy making people laugh, especially my family and friends, who are extremely important to me and have helped me become the person I am today. I am not your typical LA guy, I have a big heart and am an old fashioned romantic. Not into games or wasting anyone's time. I think chemistry is very important and look forward to finding someone I can share this wonderful life with. If you are kind, sweet, intelligent, easygoing, love to laugh and have a big heart, I would love to hear from you :)

STC.UNM v. Intel Corp.

Addressing whether standing and joinder are matters dictated by substantive patent law or by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19(a), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a lower court’s ruling of no standing, finding that plaintiff STC.UNM could not involuntarily join a patent co-owner in an infringement action.  STC.UNM v. Intel Corp., Case No. 13-1241 (Fed. Cir., June 6, 2014) (Rader, J.) (Newman, J., dissenting).

The asserted patent is a continuation in part (CIP) of a parent patent.  The parent patent had three inventors who were employed by University of New Mexico (UNM) and one inventor who was employed by Sandia.  Two of the UNM inventors of the parent patent went on to file the CIP patent application, but did not claim priority to any earlier-filed application.  During the prosecution of the CIP patent, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office twice rejected its claims for double patenting over the parent patent.  As a result, UNM filed a terminal disclaimer specifying that “any patent granted on this instant application shall be enforceable only for and during such period” that the two patents “are commonly owned.”  Further, UNM stated that is was the “owner of record of a 100 percent interest in the instant application.”  Later UNM assigned its interest in both patents to STC, a wholly owned licensing arm of UNM.

When STC.UNM filed suit against Intel, Sandia claimed it had no ownership interest in the CIP patent.  As a result, Intel claimed that the CIP patent was unenforceable for failing to comply with the common-ownership requirement of the terminal disclaimer.  STC.UNM disagreed claiming, inter alia, that Sandia had obtained an ownership interest due to the fact that the CIP patent was a continuation in part.  Nevertheless, “in an abundance of caution,” STC.UNM assigned an undivided interest in the CIP patent to Sandia.  Consequently, Intel then moved to dismiss the case because Sandia refused to join as a party.  The district court agreed based on Ethicon v. United States Surgical Corp. (Fed. Cir., 1998), which holds that when a patent is co-owned, a co-owner seeking to enforce the patent must join all other co-owners as plaintiffs to establish standing.  STC.UNM appealed.

STC.UNM argued that Sandia should be joined under FRCP 19(a).  The Federal Circuit disagreed affirming the dismissal because “rules of procedure shall not abridge, enlarge or modify any substantive right.”  The Court explained that while under 35 U.S.C. § 262, a patent co-owner such as STC.UNM could license and commercialize its interest in the patent without its co-owner’s permission, a co-owner cannot be forced to participate in litigation.  The Federal Circuit acknowledged that license negotiations with third-parties may lose their “bite” if the target knows that the co-owners are not aligned.  Nevertheless, the limits on joinder are necessary to protect a co-owner’s right to not be thrust into costly litigation if its patent is subject to potential invalidation.  Furthermore, the rule requiring the participation of all co-owners safeguards against the possibility that each co-owner would subject an accused infringer to a different infringement suit on the same patent.

Practice Note:  Joint development agreements—particularly in instances where inventors are required to assign rights to their respective employer—should address whether a co-owner will be contractually obligated to join a co-owner in efforts to enforce the patent rights.  Likewise, defendants should carefully analyze the ownership chain of asserted patents—especially when a patent issues from a continuation-in-part application that added inventors who may have different assignment obligations than the parent application.
