Q: Speeding up code by avoiding repeated evaluation of a function I want to speed up my code and I have two ideas, but I don't know how I can implement them.
Here is a little part of my code, which I want to improve:
   R[FK_, f_] :=
      FixedPoint[
          Integrate[PDF[f, x]*x , {x, 0, id[Q[FK, #], #]}]
          *If[CDF[f, id[Q[FK, #], #]] == 0., 0.1, CDF[f,id[Q[FK, #], #]]]
          *id[Q[FK, #], #] &
     , seedR] ;

1) You can see that the function is evaluated id[Q[FK, #], #] 3 times. That is unecassary. Normaly I would use a Module structure, define a new variable idd = id[Q[FK, #], #], like
    R2[FK_, f_] :=
      Module[{iddd},
      FixedPoint[
        iddd = id[Q[FK, #], #] &;
        Integrate[PDF[f, x]*x , {x, 0, iddd}]
        *If[CDF[f, iddd] == 0., 0.1, CDF[f, iddd]]
        *iddd &
      ,seedR]];

but this does not work. Do you have any idea?
2) Probably a easy one:
    If[CDF[f, id[Q[FK, #], #]] == 0., 0.1, CDF[f, id[Q[FK, #], #]]]

This involves the funtion CDF[f, id[Q[FK, #], #]] two times. One time should be enough. How can I do this?
Thanks
Peter

A: Multiple evaluations can often be avoided by using With. You might try something like
f = With[{q = Q[FK, ....]}, If[CDF[f, id[is, q, #]] == 0., 0.1, CDF[f,id[is, q, #]]]]&

Grant Maintained Belief
Joel Never Gave Up Hope
Only1Argyle
JOEL Grant has stuck by his word.
Months ago, with Argyle looking in peril in Sky Bet League One, Grant went on record and stated his faith in Argyle turning things around.
Little did he know.
Joel was essentially saying Argyle would pull away from relegation trouble. He probably did not foresee a genuine chance to reach the play-offs in touching distance, with five games remaining.
"I remember saying at the start of the season in times of adversity is when you need to stick together," he said. "I also said we would have a better second half to the season. I always felt we had a very good squad. If you had asked me where we would finish I may not have said the play-offs, but realistically from where we were it felt a long way, I certainly thought we would finish in the top half of the table. We have done better than you could have imagined, but it's not something I'm surprised by."
Throughout the season, since the moment he arrived, Grant believes his attitude has not changed and he is working just as hard to make an impact on the Pilgrims promotion hopes.
With Ryan Taylor injured, Joel stepped in for last week's draw with Portsmouth, and however long his run in the team lasts, Grant is determined to take his chance and assist the team.
"It's always frustrating when you aren't playing," said Joel."For me personally my goal when I came to the club was to try and get as many games as possible. I had a good pre season and got in at the beginning. The last few months I have been on the bench, but you've got to do your best when you have the chance and try and push the ones in the starting places. I have certainly been trying to do that in training and the team is doing really well. It is better to be in a team that is doing really well than a team that is not doing well.
"You try and approach each game the same way. But psychologically there is a difference when you start a game. You are thinking a lot more about having a good start, whereas when you are on the bench you are more thinking of making an impact. As well as different times in the game you may be thinking 'I need to be ready here' or other games you feel like you wont come on today. So, it is a little bit different although you try and approach each game the same way."
Joelalso feels that the Green Army are playing their part too.
He said: "The fans have been brilliant since day one. I have been in teams where we were struggling and the fans have turned a little bit, but here the fans backed us since day one. You are seeing even more fans backing us; they are the twelfth man and their help can get us to where we want to be."

Poppyseed, onion, everything, or plain bagel – you pick!
Slice the cucumbers and onion and sprinkle about a tablespoon of champagne vinegar on top. Doing this first gives these veggies a chance to soak up the vinegar, pickling them and adding a nice acidic crunch to the bagel.
Toast your bagel so it's nice and golden.
Mix equal parts of goat cheese and cream cheese in a bowl – I tend to do a tablespoon of each cheese per bagel plus a teaspoon of honey.
Once your bagel is toasted you can assemble however you'd like. I usually do things in a different order every time, something to the tune of: bagel + cheese spread + cucumbers and onions + tomatoes + dill and parsley + smoked salmon + capers + sea salt and pepper + a little squeeze of lemon on top!
There you have it! A really simple meal idea that can be tailored to suit many different tastes. What spring meals are you eager to try this season? I am going to share my famous chicken pot pie next week, along with a really easy spring risotto recipe with lemon, ricotta, peas and asparagus. Happy cooking, dear ones!


The Pupillage Gateway opened last week on 8 January, giving aspiring barristers a month to apply for pupillage at their chosen chambers before the Gateway closes again on Thursday 7 February. Meanwhile, a handful of other barristers' chambers have set earlier application deadlines.
January is obviously a crucial time for prospective barristers. Here are a few tips for producing polished, well-researched applications over the next couple of weeks.
It is important to apply before the deadline because chambers will begin reviewing applications as soon as they come in, while the rush of forms that come in on deadline day will contain way too many rushed and half-hearted applications. And as recruiters continually tell us, even those organisations that don't start reviewing applications as soon as they arrive will review them in the chronological order that they were received – so it really pays to submit early.
It's crucial to make the most of the time available to carefully hone applications, tailoring each one individually to the relevant chambers before submitting. The best chance of success is to submit a handful of highly-polished, targeted applications, as opposed to firing off as many as you can. While you still have time, be sure to read this extensive guide to pupillage applications by Simon Myerson QC, who runs the excellent blog, Pupillage and How to Get It – the blog isn't updated often, but its most recent posts are filled with expert advice.
Some chambers have also been supplying pupillage application tips via Twitter. We highly recommend that you follow 5 Essex Court (@Pupillages) and Henderson Chambers (@HendersonPupils), if you don't already, and take on board their advice. Simply searching 'pupillage' on Twitter will also open up a whole conversation between barristers, chambers' official accounts and the legal press on the subject.
And after applying comes interview preparation, so don't forget to check LCN's advice on pupillage interviews for tips on this most crucial stage of the application process. Best of luck with your applications!

Stephen Edward Gabbard (born July 19, 1966) is a former offensive tackle in the National Football League.

Career
Gabbard was originally signed to the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent offensive tackle and participated in two playoff games.  He spent two seasons as a member of the practice squad and suffered a knee injury. After surgery, he was sent to the World Football League to rehabilitate, where he was the first draft selection to the London Monarchs.  The Monarchs were World Bowl '91 Champions, with the offensive line "Nasty Boyz" becoming a fan favorite.

He became a member of the Green Bay Packers during the 1991 NFL season as an offensive lineman and a member of the special teams (long snapper).
After a year at Green Bay, he was signed as a Plan B free agent by the Washington Redskins.  He also played a year in the Canadian Football League for the Sacramento Gold Miners as a starting left tackle.

He played at the collegiate level at Florida State University, where he was a four-year starter at defensive tackle, was a 1987 Football News All-American, a 1989 AP Honorable Mention All-American and All-South Independent Honorable Mention in 1987 and 1988.  The Seminoles were All-American, Gator, Fiesta and Sugar Bowl Champions during his four years as starting defensive tackle.

Gabbard also served as a graduate assistant offensive line coach for three years at Florida State for Bobby Bowden, during which time FSU won the NCAA National Championship (1999) in an undefeated season where they were the #1 ranked team nationally wire-to-wire.  Florida State was also runner-up to NCAA National Champions Tennessee Volunteers (1998) in the Fiesta Bowl, and won the Sugar Bowl (1997) during his time on Coach Bowden's staff.

His son Stephen also played football at Florida State, where he was a four-year starter at the long snapper position.

Just like that striking diamond necklace can complete your look in style, so can a feature piece of furniture transform and complete a room.
Adding a key feature to a space can lift a design, whilst also fusing it together, adding dimension and style. Be it a bright colour that just catches your eye, amazing detailing, sharp contrasts or just a large beautifully shaped piece that owns the room, you can be creative and have fun with furniture.
We often design a room thinking firstly of functionality and making sure everything matches, but, throw in a feature chair that contrasts and the room takes on another dimension. You don't want it to look awkward or completely out of place so ensure there is a link/key theme, either colour, style of pieces etc.
Below are some choice pieces from Chichi Furniture that would be fabulous features in any home!
Bold orange makes this piece stand out in a room, tie it in with other hints of gold throughout a scheme so it doesn't look out of place.
Elaborate and gold – a striking feature for a grand French style room.
Elegantly shaped and glamorously finished in silver, this piece isn't imposing but won't go unnoticed!
A beautifully upholstered headboard, edged in silver makes this bed a key focal piece for your bedroom.
Fabulously blue, this chaise is a true statement, with silver edging this could blend in with other hints of blue (cushions etc) or silver tones.
THINK PINK! a feast for the eyes, this chair will certainly stand out, it could be paired with similar elaborate French style pieces in gentler tones, or modern pieces that are also in vibrant pink.
A beautiful love seat in two tones and edged in silver – the sumptuous colour or French style could be the link here.
Have a lazy Sunday and rest in style with a beautiful bed form Chichi Furniture.


Rickles in THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES.
Don Jay Rickles was born on May 8th, 1926, in New York City, New York, to Jewish parents, Max and Etta Rickles, who were 2nd generation immigrants. He grew up in a Jewish home that spoke Yiddish, in a neighborhood in Jackson Heights.
During WW2, Rickles joined the Navy, and was stationed on The USS CYRENE (AGP-13), with the rank of Seaman first class. This vessel was a "tender" for motor torpedo boats, escorting the boats and providing fuel and provisions to them as well.
After the end of the war, Rickles studying acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, located in Manhattan, New York City. He wanted to become a thespian.
When acting roles were few and far between, Don Rickles got his start as an insult comic entertainer in night clubs located in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. When heckled at performances, Rickles had fun insulting them back, much to the amazement and amusement of the audience.
When he noticed that they were enjoying the improvised insults more than his prepared jokes, Don adjusted his routine and became a stand-up comic known for his good-natured insults of the audience, as well as our society; that was and still is amusing to audiences.
Don Rickles became very popular as a comic, and he succeeded in this line of entertainment for twenty years, until his first film, RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP;(1958), which opened up some new opportunities in film as an actor. He finally got a chance to act, to add to his successful comedic career.
In 1965, Don Rickles married the love of his life, Barbara Sklar. They had two children, Larry and Mindy. The Rickles now have two grandchildren, Ethan and Harrison.
In KELLY'S HEROES; (1970), Don Rickles successfully combined dramatic and comedic elements in his best performance, as the crafty supply sergeant, Crap Game, who suggests making a deal with Nazi soldiers.
Don became more associated with Dean Martin, and was one of Dean's most regular performers on his show: THE DEAN MARTIN CELEBRITY ROASTS.
From 1973 to 1984, Don Rickles made a lot of appearances on Dean's show, paying tribute to some of his friends, like Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and was even the roastmaster on the roast for Dean Martin himself.
In 2008, Don Rickles won two PRIMTIME EMMYS for his comedy special/documentary, MR. WARMTH: THE DON RICKELS PROJECT; (2007), that was directed by John Landis for HBO. His son, Larry, also co-produced this project. On this special, Don Rickles won an EMMY for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. The second EMMY was for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special.
In all the TOY STORY animated films, Don Rickles was the voice of the grumpy Mr. Potato Head; a role his grandchildren were most impressed by.
At 88 years, Don is still doing something that energizes him, stand-up comedy!

Important Information for Parents of Pupils in the Infant School
Principal: Mrs Mc Cartan, Deputy Principal: Ms Coffey
Secretary: Mrs Cathy Buckley, Home/School Teacher: Mrs M. Bourke
- Our Mission –
We hope that all children will be very happy in our school and that they will enjoy learning in an environment that is safe and secure.
School Hours: School opens at 9.05am. All pupils go home at 1.45pm (Junior Infants, Senior Infants & First Class)
School Uniform: A Tracksuit Uniform ie Navy Tracksuit Bottoms + Navy & Royal Blue Top (with crest), Yellow Polo Shirt. Available from :
School Monies: Parents are asked to pay a total of €35 this year towards the cost of providing material for your child for art, photocopying and music. For parents with two children the cost will be €45 and for those with three children the cost is €55
School Books: Parents are asked to purchase schoolbooks during the summer holidays. It is important that children have all books when returning to school in September. Booklists for each class are available in June each year. Copies, pencils etc may be purchased from the Secretary's office in September. Parents in receipt of social welfare are entitled to free schoolbooks, please fill out Book Grant form (from Secretary).
Lunch: Our school is fortunate to be part of the School Lunch Initiative by the Department of Education and Science. A healthy morning snack and school lunch is supplied to each child free of charge each day. (See lunch sheet). Therefore children do not have to bring lunch to school and parents are asked to co-operate with this arrangement. Please inform teacher if your child has special dietary needs as the school lunch may be adjusted for your child. The Infant School has a healthy lunch policy :please note that crisps, biscuits, chocolate, sweets, cereal bars, fizzy drinks are not allowed in school
Homework: Homework is an integral part of school life and reinforces work done in school. As a general rule homework is given Monday to Thursday (no homework on Fridays or at weekends). Homework is expected from each child, however should a child genuinely be unable to do homework on particular night, an explanation from home (verbal or written) is expected.
Health & Safety: While every effort will be made by the school authorities to look after your child, accidents and illness do occur from time to time. It is essential that contact numbers for parents/guardians be notified to the Principal and Secretary. Parents are advised to sign a Consent Form to allow treatment of your child by medics in the case of an emergency. It is also important to notify Class Teacher and Principal if your child has any health /medical concerns that may need special attention.
CHILD WELFARE & PROTECTION
The Infant School complies with the Department of Education guidelines 'CHILDREN FIRST' and has an up to date Child Protection Policy which has been ratified by the school Board of Management. The school is obliged to report any concerns about child welfare & protection to the relevant authorities - this is to ensure the safety and protection of all children inthe care of the school.
School Attendance: The Education Welfare Act (July 2002) requires school authorities to inform the Education Welfare Board where any pupil is absent for more than 20 days in any one school year. Equally, parents are obliged to inform the school of the dates and reasons why children are absent. When a child is absent a letter /medical certificate must accompany the child on his/her return to school. Unfortunately, a verbal message to the Teacher, Principal or Secretary will not suffice. We are obliged to keep all letters received from parents explaining an absence for examination by the Education Welfare Officer who visits the school each term.
Code of Behaviour: We aim to create a caring and secure educational environment for all our children where values of respect and understanding are promoted. We ask all parents to work in partnership with our teachers and staff to support us in implementing the Code of Behaviour. Please make sure that your child is aware of and co-operates with the Code of Behaviour of the Infant School. (Copy of Code of Behaviour is available to all parents)
Pupils go to playground each day, weather permitting at 11.30am until 12.00. During this time children can play games, meet friends and have fun in an outdoor environment. In cold weather children should wear suitable shoes and also wear warm coats etc Supervision: - The school playground is supervised by 2 teachers and class assistant(s) at all times. All pupils must observe the school rules during playground time
School Statement on Bullying: The Infant School strives to ensure that all children in our school can learn, work and play in an environment, which is totally free from bullying. We take all allegations of bullying seriously and will thoroughly investigate reports of bullying behaviour. Parents and pupils must report incidents of bullying to class teachers who will investigate the matter. More serious incidents of bullying will be referred to the Deputy Principal and/or Principal by the teacher.

Griggs Dam is located within the Columbus, Ohio city limits, on the Scioto River near Upper Arlington, Ohio, in Franklin County. The dam forms Griggs Reservoir, which is a major source of drinking water for the city of Columbus. Named after the city's chief engineer, Julian Griggs, the dam was completed in 1905 at a cost of $700,000 and was the first major reservoir in the Columbus area.  For 20 years, it served as the only reservoir serving the city of Columbus' drinking water needs. Griggs Dam is a gravity dam with a  curved concrete spillway.  Its height is only , but it forms a reservoir almost  long with a  capacity.  US Route 33 runs along the East side of the dam, providing access to the dam and recreation area on both the upstream and downstream sides of the dam.

Approximately  upstream of Griggs Dam is the slightly larger O'Shaughnessy Dam, which is also owned and operated by the city of Columbus.  Together, the two reservoirs have a capacity of . Due to the arrangement of the two dams' reservoirs, Griggs reservoir is often able to be kept full during the dry summer months by first releasing water from O'Shaughnessy reservoir during times of need.  By only using Griggs reservoir's capacity during times of extreme need when O'Shaughnessy is at its minimum pool level, Columbus residents are able to use the full acreage of the reservoir for recreation during the summer.

The music director of "School of Rock: The Musical" has a point he wants to drill into the minds of Cincinnati audiences as the Andrew Lloyd Webber show prepares for its local debut.
The kids are playing every note.
"School of Rock" is the stage adaptation of the Jack Black 2003 hit comedy film about a struggling musician teaching private-school kids how to shred. In the case of the musical version, which opened on Broadway two years ago, there are no cinematic tricks when it comes to rocking out. The kids on stage are really doing the playing, according to music director Martyn Axe, no backing tracks are allowed, and no illusion is necessary.
Axe says he's frequently asked to confirm the authenticity of the musicianship of those child actors, who range in age from 9 to 13. He acknowledges why audiences could find a reason to be doubtful because they see and hear the adult-age house band in the pit playing the score. But at the end of the show, after the students in the story learn their rock and roll, they assemble as a band for a concert – just like in the movie – and it is them and only them playing.

"The kids are so keen, and they have so much energy," Axe says. "Even now, we've been going on for five months, and they just practice. They're just always trying to get better. So they're basically professional players. They play as good as any professionals right now. The show gets better and better because the kids keep growing into it."
The result, Axe says, is more rock than the average musical. "It's not a musical-theater version of rock music. It's like really heavy rock music. In the band, we have three electric guitars that are all distorted and huge drums, and we've got kids on top singing it, but it's not watered down. It's got a cool factor to it because it's just very raw," he says.
Just as it differs from other musicals, "School of Rock: The Musical" differs from the movie in certain ways, too. "School of Rock," the film, was a Jack Black vehicle, focusing mainly on his character, Dewey Finn. Axe says the musical tells the same story and captures the movie's epic moments, while also delving deeper into the stories of the schoolkids, how they deal with their families and life at school.
For their part, the kids in the cast don't have to worry about attending school all day while they're on the road. They travel with tutors and tend to their studies each morning. The rest of the time, it's music.
Axe says the show has an appeal to audiences of all ages and it's not uncommon for "School of Rock" to earn three standing ovations per night. But it's not a surprise that a show by kids would hold a special appeal to kids.
"It's a feel-good story," he says. "It's the power of the arts. Going around and seeing kids watch the show, they're just totally amazed and hopefully inspired enough to take up the music. And that's the story about it, how music can impact young lives. Putting that on a stage, it's a lot more impactful because you can actually physically see the kids in the show go from trying to express themselves in a very strict school to opening up and finding themselves."

Q: r aggregate function -- how to display additional columns I have two data frames: City and Country.  I am trying to find out the most popular city per country.  City and Country have a common field, City.CountryCode and Country.Code.  These two data frames were merged to one called CityCountry.  I have tried the aggregate command like so:
aggregate(Population.x~CountryCode, CityCountry, max)

This aggregate command only shows the CountryCode and Population.X columns.  How would I show the name of the Country and the name of the City?  Is aggregate the wrong command to use here?

A: Could also use dplyr to group by Country, then filter by max(Population.x).
library(dplyr)

set.seed(123)
CityCountry <- data.frame(Population.x = sample(1000:2000, 10, replace = TRUE),
                          CountryCode = rep(LETTERS[1:5], 2),
                          Country = rep(letters[1:5], 2),
                          City = letters[11:20],
                          stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

CityCountry %>%
  group_by(Country) %>%
  filter(Population.x == max(Population.x)) %>%
  ungroup()

# A tibble: 5 x 4
  Population.x CountryCode Country  City

SEGA Names Hulk Developers
Which studios will be delivering the movie tie-in?
By Daemon Hatfield
Updated: 14 May 2012 11:37 am
Posted: 10 Aug 2007 10:09 pm
Today SEGA announced the developers currently working on the videogame tie-ins to next summer's The Incredible Hulk. The publisher announced back in April it would be presenting a game based on the lovable green lug but wasn't ready to divulge the project's developers at that time.
Edge of Reality is handling the console versions of the game. The developer is also currently working on Cipher Complex and Fear & Respect for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Specific platforms that will serve as The Incredible Hulk's stomping grounds have not been announced, yet.
The handheld iterations are being handled by Amaze Entertainment, makers of other tie-in fare such as Shrek the Third and Eragon.
The Incredible Hulk videogames are scheduled to arrive around the same time as the film, which will be released June 13, 2008. SEGA promises more details on the game will be released over the next few months.

We've got sweet tips to help you save on your wedding cake, wedding cake decorations and wedding cake accessories.
1. Want the look of several layers, but don't want to pay the price? Ask the baker to decorate one or more false tiers.
2. Hand-constructed, floral wedding cake decorations are expensive. Decorate with fresh flowers or fruits instead. This fresh look complements wedding reception decorations for any season beautifully!
3. Are there any culinary arts schools near you? See if you can enlist the students to create a wedding cake for a fraction of the typical cost.
4. Don't spend too much on your wedding cake topper. Cheap wedding cake toppers that still look great are out there!
5. If you're confident in your baking skills but don't want to tackle the wedding cake decorations, ask your baker to decorate a cake you provide.
6. Serving sets can get pricey, but you can find a quality wedding cake server set that doesn't put a dent in your budget.
7. Try a less expensive alternative to wedding cake. Cupcakes, pies, pastries and even candy bars are quickly becoming a hot new trend in today's weddings. We have recently added our Double Heart Cupcake Picks to dress up an array of cupcakes – how fun!
8. Ask around your local community for an at-home specialty baker. You might find a local person that creates specialty cakes on the side for a very reasonable price.
9. Opt for butter cream frosting or a similar inexpensive option. Marzipan and fondant icing are often used for elaborate wedding cake decorations, which are considerably higher in price.
10. It's cheap to be square — square wedding cakes yield more slices than round ones.
P.S. If you plan to do a groom's cake, check out this hilarious "Ball and Chain" cake topper!


Travel writers and bloggers know that they can make money on every trip they take. They post detailed reviews of every hotel and attraction they visit, and they may also receive money from some companies for posting positive reviews. While this might sound like heaven to you, those writers usually spend so much time jotting down notes and recording their experiences that they don't actually enjoy themselves. You can use travel programs to save money and make money at the same time.Visit Escape and Earn to make money on your next family vacation.
When you enroll in a travel program, you agree to make your travel arrangements and bookings through that site. Every time you rent a car, book a hotel room or buy tickets to a popular attraction, the program puts money back in your account. You typically earn back between five and 20 percent of your costs, which can really add up over time. The money goes in your account within five business days of booking your trip. Many travel programs also offer discounted rates on the bookings you make.
Once the money hits your account, you can use it the next time you take a trip. Keep in mind that some programs do place an expiration date on your cash, but this won't be a problem if you travel often. You can use that money when booking a cruise, renting a townhouse or purchasing a vacation package.

Another Apple-Samsung skirmish heads to court
SHARE Another Apple-Samsung skirmish heads to court
In this Aug. 27, 2012 photo, the Apple iPhone 4s, left, is displayed next to the Samsung Galaxy S III at a store in San Francisco. Apple already has won nearly $1 billion in judgments against Samsung over patent infringements involving older-model devices. Now Apple is alleging Samsung's newest devices, such as its Galaxy S III, also copied Apple technology. Jury selection for the case begins Monday, March 31, 2014.
Marcio Jose Sanchez, Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The fiercest rivalry in the world of smartphones is heading back to court this week in the heart of the Silicon Valley, with Apple and Samsung accusing each other, once again, of ripping off designs and features.
The trial will mark the latest round in a long-running series of lawsuits between the two tech giants that underscore a much larger concern about what is allowed to be patented.
"There's a widespread suspicion that lots of the kinds of software patents at issue are written in ways that cover more ground than what Apple or any other tech firm actually invented," Notre Dame law professor Mark McKenna said. "Overly broad patents allow companies to block competition."
The latest Apple-Samsung case will be tried less than two years after a federal jury found Samsung was infringing on Apple patents. Samsung was ordered to pay about $900 million but is appealing and has been allowed to continue selling products using the technology.
Now, jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in another round of litigation, with Apple Inc. accusing Samsung of infringing on five patents on newer devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets. In a counterclaim, Samsung says Apple stole two of its ideas to use on iPhones and iPads.
"Apple revolutionized the market in personal computing devices," Apple attorneys wrote in court filings. "Samsung, in contrast, has systematically copied Apple's innovative technology and products, features and designs, and has deluged markets with infringing devices."
Samsung countered that it has broken technological barriers with its own ultra-slim, lightweight phones.
"Samsung has been a pioneer in the mobile device business sector since the inception of the mobile device industry," Samsung attorneys wrote. "Apple has copied many of Samsung's innovations in its Apple iPhone, iPod, and iPad products."
In the upcoming case, Apple claims Samsung stole a tap-from-search technology that allows someone searching for a telephone number or address on the web to tap on the results to call the number or put the address into a map. In addition, Apple says Samsung copied "Slide to Unlock," which allows users to swipe the face of their smartphone to use it.
Samsung countered that Apple is stealing a wireless technology system that speeds up sending and receiving data.
The most attention grabbing claim in the case is Apple's demand that Samsung pay a $40 royalty for each Samsung device running software allegedly conceived by Apple, more than five times more than the amount sought in the previous trial and well above other precedents between smartphone companies. If Apple prevails, the costs to Samsung could reach $2 billion. Apple's costs, if it lost, are expected to be about $6 million.
"You rarely get from the jury what you ask for, so companies aim high," said German patent analyst Florian Mueller. "But in my opinion this is so far above a reasonable level the judge should not have allowed it."
The problem, he said, is that each smartphone has thousands of patented ideas in it; Apple is challenging just five.
Throughout the three years of litigation, Samsung's market share has grown. One of every three smartphones sold last year was a Samsung, now the market leader. Apple, with a typically higher price, was second, with about 15 percent of the global market.
Apple claims the following Samsung products now infringe on Apple patents: Admire, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy SII Skyrocket, Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Tab II 10.1, and Stratosphere.
Samsung claims the following Apple products infringe on Samsung patents: iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini, iPod touch (5th generation), iPod touch (4th generation), and MacBook Pro.
With the San Jose federal courtroom just a 15-minute drive from Apple's Cupertino headquarters, even jury selection can be difficult. In the previous case, several prospective jurors were dismissed because of their ties to the company.

The impact of education, country, race and ethnicity on the self-report of postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
Postpartum Depression: Action Towards Causes and Treatment (PACT) Consortium
Background: Universal screening for postpartum depression is recommended in many countries. Knowledge of whether the disclosure of depressive symptoms in the postpartum period differs across cultures could improve detection and provide new insights into the pathogenesis. Moreover, it is a necessary step to evaluate the universal use of screening instruments in research and clinical practice. In the current study we sought to assess whether the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the most widely used screening tool for postpartum depression, measures the same underlying construct across cultural groups in a large international dataset. Method: Ordinal regression and measurement invariance were used to explore the association between culture, operationalized as education, ethnicity/race and continent, and endorsement of depressive symptoms using the EPDS on 8209 new mothers from Europe and the USA. Results: Education, but not ethnicity/race, influenced the reporting of postpartum depression [difference between robust comparative fit indexes (Δ∗CFI) < 0.01]. The structure of EPDS responses significantly differed between Europe and the USA (Δ∗CFI > 0.01), but not between European countries (Δ∗CFI < 0.01). Conclusions: Investigators and clinicians should be aware of the potential differences in expression of phenotype of postpartum depression that women of different educational backgrounds may manifest. The increasing cultural heterogeneity of societies together with the tendency towards globalization requires a culturally sensitive approach to patients, research and policies, that takes into account, beyond rhetoric, the context of a person's experiences and the context in which the research is conducted.

Oxford BioMedica Moving To LSE Following TroVax Trial Approval
LONDON - Oxford BioMedica plc won regulatory approval for a second gene therapy clinical trial, a move that qualifies the company to move up from the junior Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to a full listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The approval is for a Phase I/II trial of TroVax, a gene-based cancer vaccine, in colorectal cancer. Twelve patients coming back for a second round of surgery will be treated in the trial, at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. Following surgery they will receive the vaccine, which is designed to stimulate an immune response, prompting the destruction of any residual cancer cells or undetectable metastases.
"We now meet all the criteria for a full listing, and are sure [moving up from AIM] is the right thing to do," Finance Director Andrew Wood told BioWorld International. "The shareholders will be better served.
"We are preparing, but are not committed to a particular date. The last thing we want to do is move up and see the shares decline because of cyclical slump."
However, Wood said he was confident whatever the sector does, Oxford BioMedica, based in Oxford, UK, will have good news flow over the next 12 months. He believes that gene therapy is about to become more popular with investors. "I think it is like the antibody companies, which have been promising good things since the 1980s, and have just started getting products on the market in the past few years.
"The fundamental blockage has been removed. In the past there was no detectable gene transfer in vivo; now there is, and the race is on to see what genes you can get in and what you can do with them."
Within the next two to three years the first gene therapy product will receive approval, he said. "Then anyone else in the field will see a quantum leap in value."
Oxford BioMedica currently has £12 million (US$18 million), enough to last for 24 months, so Wood said he is undecided about whether to use the move to a full listing to raise more money. "Twenty-four months money is a position of relative comfort for a biotech company. But there is a lot of effort involved in the groundwork for moving to the main market, so it may be appropriate to raise money at the same time."
Wood also said he is involved in "some substantial negotiations for serious-value deals," which could mean there is no need to go back to shareholders.
"For example, we could have done a deal last year for TroVax when it was preclinical," he said. "If we get anything like the data we hope for [from the Phase I/II] it will be a 10-times bigger deal."
The TroVax viral delivery system carries a gene encoding for tumor-associated antigens. In preclinical models the vaccine broke immune tolerance to tumors and protected against further tumor growth.

Listening to Black Voices
Kate Harris on Her Front-Row Seat During Brown v. Board of Education
Harris' parents shaped history and welcomed major Black figures of the civil rights movement into their home.
By Heather Dunhill July 7, 2020

It's not hyperbole to say that Sarasota's Kate Miriam Clark Harris was born into a family that influenced the course of Black American history—particularly for Black children. Her parents, Drs. Kenneth Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark, were the first and second Black Americans to receive a Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia University.
The Clarks were best known for the iconic "doll study," which examined the psychological effects of racial awareness in Black children ranging from 3 to 7 years old. The children were presented with identical dolls, one white and one black, and asked which they preferred to play with, which was the "nice" doll, which was the "bad" doll and, finally, which doll looked like them. The results of the study were that the children showed an unmistakable preference for the white doll and rejection of the Black doll.
Many credit the Clarks and their doll study for tipping the scales of justice in the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case, in which the Supreme Court overturned the doctrine of separate but equal. Today, a set of the historic dolls is a part of the permanent collection at The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. The study also led the way for Dr. Kenneth Clark to create Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited (Haryou)—the precursor to President Lyndon B. Johnson's war on poverty—which was financed by Johnson and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.
After receiving her master's degree from Smith College School of Social Work, Harris continued her family's groundbreaking work for five decades as a psychiatric social worker in positions at foster-care agency Speedwell, Harvard University, the Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) and as director of the National Medical Fellowships.
Later, she joined the family business, advocating for the urban poor through Clark, Phipps Clark, and Harris, where she launched yet another first: a national survey of 1,500 Black people called Data Black Public Opinion Polls which provided insight into the state of Black communities in America. Harris succeeded her mother as executive director of the groundbreaking Northside Center for Child Development, which her mother founded in 1946 when she couldn't find work as a Black psychologist; it's still thriving 70 years later. Harris and her husband Donald retired to Sarasota in 2007. Here, she's continued her work by mentoring with Take Stock in Children, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and a local literacy organization that teaches adults to read.

You grew up in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. What was that like?
We were always encouraged to join adult conversations, which included politics. Family friends included New York City mayor David Dinkins, New York Rep. Charlie Rangel, journalist Mike Wallace, future Rep. John Lewis, future civil rights activist and judge Robert Carter, future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall, Freedom Rider and attorney Percy Sutton, Harlem politician J. Raymond Jones—the group called him "the Fox"—authors James Baldwin and Ralph Ellison, and Martin Luther King Jr., his wife Coretta and their newborn baby.
When I was in high school, Minnijean Brown—one of the Little Rock Nine—lived with us; she was like a sister to me. All of the Little Rock Nine attended my high school graduation.
Tell us more about the doll study from your point of view.
The doll study was based on my mother's master's thesis at Howard University. I remember the day my father came home with the dolls from a five and dime. I thought, at 10 years old, it was the best thing that we had Black dolls in the house for me to play with.
My father traveled all over the country to conduct testing with those dolls in a suitcase. By the time Robert Carter, of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, contacted my parents about using their test results to overturn separate but equal, they had been conducting the study for 14 years. Initially, Thurgood Marshall [then director counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund] was reluctant, as data of this kind was not used in legal matters, and certainly not in front of the Supreme Court. But my parents' test results were so clear that the team of lawyers knew that this information was the missing link.
p>When the decision came down, not only did it overthrow the long-established doctrine of separate but equal, but Chief Justice Earl Warren cited the doll study results in the court's decision.
When I found the Italian version of the test on YouTube recently, it showed me that the study my parents developed was so universal that it still holds up today. It dealt with how children begin to see themselves at an early age. They felt they were inferior, and sadly, that was the message they received from the society around them.
How did these experiences shape you?
My mother and father came from strength, and I am so proud of them. I am grateful that, as an accident of birth, they were my parents. To their credit, they did not have an inflated sense of self, and they made sure their children didn't either—we were a normal, loving family. When I look back, I see that it was all so extraordinary, but they didn't make me feel like it was. All they wanted was the best for my brother Hilton and me, and for us to exceed. Those were special times. I wish they were here now.
Your father battled white supremacists and Black separatists because he believed that a "racist system inevitably destroys and damages human beings." With all that is happening today, what do those words bring to mind?
Those were wise words. It is a troubling time; however, I feel a bit more optimistic now. But his statement was true. People are becoming more aware of themselves and the damage of racism.
To be honest, I'm surprised that doors are beginning to open a little more. People are responding to this moment, and I feel that we are in a better position to make lasting change. I would hesitate to shout it from a mountaintop because tomorrow it could all be different.
What was it like to go from life in New York City, where you grew up, to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to visit your maternal grandparents in the Jim Crow South?
I did not enjoy the railroad journey to Hot Springs because we had to ride in the Black car, which was at the back of the train. It was awful, dirty and we sat in uncomfortable wooden and worn seating, without cushions. Through the open door we could see into the next car, the white part, which had luxurious chairs, and a beautiful dining room with white tablecloths and tables set with silver and crystal.
In spite of the segregation in Hot Springs, with Black and white labels everywhere for what we could and could not do, I felt free and accepted in the Black part of town where my grandparents lived. I could be myself, play with the other children, run around without shoes. It felt good to be among others like me.p>
Are we witnessing a moment or a movement?
Without hesitation, this is a movement. That's why I am optimistic. The future looks brighter than it did in the 1950s. The civil rights movement was amazing—young people and older people fighting for their rights to sit at the same counters, to live in the same neighborhoods and go to good schools. In some ways change did happen, yet the racism was still prevalent everywhere.
What's happening now is all so extraordinary. Especially the global nature of this movement that encompasses more than the Black communities. Just look at the multicolored faces who are demanding change around the world.
This is the change my family was seeking for decades. My father died with sadness that it didn't happen in his time. However, this is the time. It is wonderful to witness.
What do you want your white friend, neighbor, colleague and community to be doing right now?
Look into and ask yourself what this all means to you. To you. Do not ask your Black friends that question. <No. The more important information is inside you.
What are you advising your children, grandchildren and youth?
Take part in the movement. Give of yourself to the movement for the benefit of the future and those who will come behind you. I resolutely want this for my grandchildren, who are happy, bright people and who are open to the possibilities of their futures. This is their world. I want them to face life without the fears and anger that Donald and I had to endure.

FOLLOW UP: Shocking Pasco Police Officer Alleged Rape Details
KNDU TV
While part of a task force investigating sex crimes against children, a Pasco police officer is charged with raping and sexually assaulting his stepdaughter over a period of a half-dozen years.
According to court documents, Anthony James Haworth, 38, who is also a former Franklin County Sheriff's deputy, sexually assaulted the girl on multiple occasions, including while she was sleeping, from the ages of 14 to 19 (2008-2013) at a home in the 5800 block of Taft Drive in Pasco.
The victim said the touching happened while Haworth was off-duty, remembering at around 15 years old a hole in a wall that would allow someone to watch her. She covered it up, but said Haworth told her to uncover the hole so he'd remember to fix it. She later figured out the hole was a way to see into her bedroom from the attic. That hole was discovered while a search warrant was served at Haworth's Pasco home.
While 17, the victim says she drank alcohol with Haworth and became intoxicated accusing him in court documents of taking advantage of her drunken state to perform sexual acts both when she was unconscious and when she was awake.
There was also a report that Haworth had tried to kiss and touch a childhood friend of the victim. Detectives also searched to find messages between the victim's friend and the victim regarding Haworth trying to kiss the friend.
Haworth has also refused to take a polygraph test in this case.
Haworth's electronics were seized and searched revealing several nude photographs of the teen taken when she was about 18. She said she had taken them to send to a boyfriend but had not sent them to Haworth, and did not know Haworth had them, saying she had deleted them.
Haworth said he had not seen the photographs that were found on his iTunes backup account and he claimed he did not know how they got onto his phone, according to court documents.
Haworth denies the alleged sex crimes, claiming they are a result of a divorce between him and the victim's mother. He was apparently ready to sell the family home for profit which led to a dispute.
Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant appointed Walla Walla County Prosecutor James Nagle to handle the case to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest as obviously Sant works closely with the Pasco PD on a daily basis.
The case was prepared by a Walla Walla police detective.
Haworth remains on administrative leave and is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Superior Court June 6th to enter a plea facing charges of rape, indecent liberties, first-degree incest and voyeurism.

Grant Fuhr Biography
Hockey player, coach
The Edmonton Oilers dominated the National Hockey League (NHL) throughout the 1980s, in no small part due to the goaltending talents of Grant Fuhr. Fuhr was an indispensable component of a team that won five Stanley Cups in seven years, a sometimes brilliant defender who was particularly effective in playoff games. In 1988 Ralph Wiley called Fuhr—who was then 25—"the best goalie in the NHL. The best on earth."
Fuhr's once stellar reputation was tarnished by injuries and the admission of substance abuse. Suspended from the Oilers in 1990 for drug use that occurred during the team's glory years, Fuhr staged a comeback and continued as a successful keeper for several teams through the 1990s, most notably in a four-year run with the St. Louis Blues from 1995 to 1999. Just a few years after his retirement in 2000 Fuhr was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the first person of African descent to be so honored. He is now a goalkeeper coach for the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL.
Hockey is nothing less than an obsession for most Canadians. Children learn to skate at an early age and dream of the NHL the way American boys dream of playing professional football. Grant Fuhr was no exception to this rule. At the age of seven he announced that he was going to become a goaltender in the NHL, and he made good on his promise. Fuhr was born in Edmonton in the autumn of 1962 to teenage parents who gave him up for adoption. Even though he considers himself black—or at least of mixed race—he was placed with a white family. Initially his adoptive parents were reluctant to accept him, fearing that they would not be able to instill in him a sense of racial pride. They found that most people accepted their unorthodox family, however, and they were able to deal honestly with their son and his concerns. "We were always honest with Grant," Betty Fuhr told Sports Illustrated. "We asked him to be fair in his judgments, to not judge a person—or himself—on social or economic standing, but on their honesty and integrity."
Fuhr's father was an insurance salesman who was fond of both golf and hockey. He allowed his son to turn the family basement into a makeshift rink and bought the boy a pair of skates when he was four. Grant skated constantly, developing coordination far beyond the norm for one of his tender age. In school he excelled at other sports as well, but hockey remained his favorite. In 1979, when he was 16, he turned down a chance to play catcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates' baseball farm team because "hockey was in." Needless to say, this fascination with sports left little time for formal studies. Fuhr dropped out of high school at 16 and joined the Victoria Cougars of Canada's Western Hockey League. Wiley described the young athlete as "5 ft. 9 in., with strong legs, good eyes, and hands that defied description. He was…different."
Fuhr was also black, and he was attempting to make the majors in a sport that is still almost exclusively white. Bob White, a coach in Montreal, told Sports Illustrated that Fuhr might have been steered away from hockey had he grown up in eastern Canada. "If Fuhr had been born in Quebec, he might not have made it to the NHL," White said. "You can be recruited with a [goalie] mask on, like Grant Fuhr. He was lucky he was out west.… And it's good he wears the mask." If this harsh judgment speaks to inherent racism in hockey's ranks, it also speaks to Fuhr's outstanding ability, mask or no mask. As a teenager, Fuhr showed such obvious potential that he was made a member of the Edmonton Oilers as a number one draft choice before his eighteenth birthday.
Ron Low, a former Oiler, remembered Fuhr's early years in a Sports Illustrated feature. "Grant never played in the minors," Low said. "We all knew he was great from the first day of camp. A natural. Yet he had no style. Or, rather, his style was all styles. He would come out 15 feet to challenge the shot on one offensive rush. The next time he would be back in his crease. He could read the game so well. He anticipated the game. Grant was just…different. Different from anyone I'd ever seen." Fuhr honed his skills by practicing against his high-scoring teammates such as Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, as formidable a pair of offensive players as can be found anywhere. Quickly Fuhr improved his reflexes and grasped every nuance of the game, becoming expert at both instinctive plays and strategic moves.
Fuhr helped the Oilers to advance to the playoffs in his rookie season as well as his sophomore year. By 1984 the seeds of the dominant Oilers team had been sown. In that Stanley Cup season, Fuhr turned in ten playoff wins. The following season he stunned the league by earning 15 playoff victories as the Oilers won another Cup. In the 1985-86 season the team once again advanced to the playoffs, and Fuhr stood in the goal even though he had spent several sleepless nights by his adoptive father's deathbed. When Edmonton contended for the Stanley Cup again in the spring of 1987, Fuhr had an astounding goals-against average of 2.46 through nineteen games. He was universally feared as a cool hand in the game's most stressful position and was considered nearly unbeatable in the clutch. Barry Pederson of the Vancouver Canucks summed up the exceptional talents of Grant Fuhr in Sports Illustrated. "Bar none, Grant Fuhr is the best goalie in the league," Pederson said. "He has the fastest reflexes. Sometimes his concentration might drift during inconsequential games. But in the big-money games Fuhr is the best. He's the Cup goalie. It's sure not by luck."
A five-time All-Star, Fuhr was chosen to be the starting goalie in the 1987 Canada Cup games against the Soviet Union's national team. Although Team Canada's roster also featured star goalies Kelly Hrudey of the New York Islanders and Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers, Fuhr started all three games and helped the Canadians to beat the Soviets for the Cup. Wiley called Fuhr's performance in that series "breathtakingly effective." Fuhr then turned in yet another stellar season with Edmonton in 1988, earning the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender.
With such success to his credit, Fuhr was allowed to go his own way off the ice, with little supervision. Perhaps not surprisingly, he ran into trouble, financial and otherwise. In the early years of his contract, Fuhr's salary was extremely modest by the standards of professional sports. He paid little attention as his extravagant ways led him into debt. In retrospect, Fuhr told Sports Illustrated that he was "a kid who did some dumb things." He added, for instance: "When my clothes were dirty, I just threw them in the closet and went out and bought something else." Fuhr now admits that overspending was only one of his problems. He fell in with a fast crowd and began to use cocaine—not to the point of addiction, but certainly to the point that it added to his financial woes.
In 1990 Fuhr came forward about his drug use after spending two weeks in a counseling center in Florida. He admitted that he used "a substance"—he did not say cocaine—for some seven years, or most of the period that the Oilers rested at the top of the NHL. Details of Fuhr's drug use were supplied by the player's ex-wife, Corrine, who told the press in Edmonton that she often found cocaine hidden in Fuhr's clothing and that she fielded numerous threatening telephone calls from drug dealers who had not been paid. These embarrassing details no doubt contributed to the one-year suspension handed down in September 1990 by NHL president John Ziegler, who called Fuhr's conduct "dishonorable and against the welfare of the league."

Many observers felt that the year-long suspension was too harsh. Fuhr had, after all, acknowledged the problem and had sought treatment for it. He had also tested free of drugs for a year before the suspension even began. In fact, Fuhr was reinstated 59 games later, and he led the Oilers to a 4-0 shutout of the New Jersey Devils on his first night back. Despite this initial success, the Oilers, who were starting on a rebuilding program, traded Fuhr to the Toronto Maple Leafs at the end of the 1990-91 season.
Many speculated the Fuhr's trade to the Maple Leafs marked the beginning of the end of his career. Age had slowed his reflexes somewhat, and injuries had begun to affect his play. After years of recurring tendonitis in his left shoulder, he underwent surgery and had the joint pinned during his suspension. He had 25 wins, 33 losses, and 5 ties in his first season with the Leafs, and had developed a winning record during the 1992-93 season when he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres. Fuhr had a successful 1993-94 season with the Sabres, sharing time in goal with Dominik Hasek, with whom he shared the NHL's William N. Jenning's Trophy for fewest goals allowed. Early the next season he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings, where he saw limited action.
Many assumed the Fuhr's career was winding downs in the mid-1990s, especially as he endured recurring knee injuries. But his trade to the St. Louis Blues at the start of the 1995-96 season saw Fuhr return to form. From 1995 through 1999, Fuhr had four successive seasons in which he posted a winning record, and his goals against average was under 3.0 each season. On reconstructed knees, Fuhr led the St. Louis Blues to the Stanley Cup playoffs in 1998-1999. Fuhr was traded to the Calgary Flames in 1999 and played just 23 games with the Flames before retiring in 2000.
Fuhr retired with a lifetime record of 403-295-114, with 25 shutouts. He was only the sixth goalkeeper in the NHL to earn 400 wins, just one of the statistics that earned him selection to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003. Fuhr discussed his honor with the Philadelphia Enquirer: "Being a black athlete going into the Hall of Fame is obviously a special honor also—especially in hockey, being the first one—but the reason you get into the Hall of Fame is for what you have accomplished on the ice, and I probably take the most pride in that." Following his retirement, Fuhr served as a goalkeeping consultant for the Calgary Flames before joining the staff of the Phoenix Coyotes as a goalkeeper coach in 2004. On the club's Web site, Fuhr said: "I am extremely excited because becoming a goalie coach in the National Hockey League is a great opportunity."
