Judge Albright Of The Western District Of Texas Grants Motion To Transfer On Convenience Grounds
On December 8, 2021, Judge Albright of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas issued a sealed opinion granting the defendants' motion to transfer venue to the Northern District of Georgia. Lynk Labs, Inc v. Home Depot USA, Inc., No. 6:21-cv-00097-ADA (W.D. Tex. Dec. 8, 2021). A public, redacted version has since published, in which the court addresses the public and private interest convenience factors, finding that the Northern District of Georgia was a clearly more convenient forum.
28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) provides that "[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought or to any district or division to which all parties have consented." As we have previously written when discussing other transfer decisions (including several involving Judge Albright), the district court addresses two questions in a transfer analysis. First, the court must determine whether the action could have been brought in the transferee forum. Second, if so, the court weighs a number of private and public "convenience" factors to determine whether the transferee forum is "clearly more convenient." The private factors include: "(1) the relative ease of access to sources of proof; (2) the availability of compulsory process to secure the attendance of witnesses; (3) the cost of attendance for willing witnesses; and (4) all other practical problems that make trial of a case easy, expeditious and inexpensive." In re Volkswagen AG, 371 F.3d 201, 203 (5th Cir. 2004). The public factors include: "(1) the administrative difficulties flowing from court congestion; (2) the local interest in having localized interests decided at home; (3) the familiarity of the forum with the law that will govern the case; and (4) the avoidance of unnecessary problems of conflict of laws or the application of foreign law." Id.
In this case, the defendants (three Home Depot entities) moved to transfer the case to the Northern District of Georgia—its Atlanta "home" where the bulk of the evidence resides—arguing that it was a clearly more convenient forum.
On the first question, there was no dispute that the case could have been brought in the Northern District of Georgia.
On the second question, the court walked through the public and private interest factors. The court found particularly persuasive that the relevant Home Depot custodians were in Atlanta where Home Depot is headquartered, and that the Northern District of Georgia had the power to compel certain third-party witnesses (unlike the Western District of Texas).
This is an interesting decision, as it has historically been difficult to transfer cases before Judge Albright out of the Western District of Texas, absent mandamus by the Federal Circuit.

Diabetes is known as the 'Silent Killer'. Apart from causing sugar imbalance in the body, it hollows out most organs from the inside. The eyes and the kidneys are the organs most susceptible to damage through diabetes. Kidneys are vital to regulate the fluid levels in the body. They are also responsible for releasing hormones that control the blood pressure.
There might be many reasons why diabetes affects the kidneys so negatively. The alteration in the blood sugar taxes the kidneys as they are responsible for spewing out waste and toxins from the body. While genes are definitely responsible for making you susceptible to develop kidney diseases, other factors like high blood pressure, steep glucose levels in the blood and diet too contribute significantly.
If you have recently developed diabetes, you will not show any symptoms of kidney disease. For those who have developed kidney malfunction, the toxins in the body build up, and the patient feels sick, lose their appetites, have fluid retention, and can even suffer a heart failure if left untreated.
Whether it is diabetes Type I or Type II, your kidneys get extremely vulnerable. For some patients, it takes just a decade for the kidney diseases to set in and for others, it may take up to 30 years.
So what can you do? Here are some ways in which diabetic patients can reduce the risk of kidney diseases.
This is the most fool-proof way to thwart kidney disease. The lesser the fluctuations in your blood glucose, better are your chances of delaying the onset of kidney disease. Kidneys are made of tiny blood vessels. Any changes in the blood sugar will affect them negatively.
Your doctor will give you a diet to follow to keep your diabetes in check. You must follow the diet to ensure that your kidneys stay safe.
As is with blood sugar, fluctuating blood pressure can be fatal for your kidneys. To prevent kidney failure, try to maintain stable blood pressure.
Those who are vulnerable to kidney damage are suggested a low protein diet to put less pressure on already weak kidneys. You must consult your doctor or nutritionist about the options available to you.
Weight gain can seriously affect your kidneys, more so when you have diabetes. Eat healthy food and exercise regularly to keep the weighing scales static. A diet recommended by your doctor or nutritionist will ensure that you derive maximum nutrition without increasing your weight.
Get regular tests done to ensure that your kidneys are in tiptop shape. In most cases, by the time the symptoms become apparent, the damage has already been done. Many kinds of tests check your creatine and urea levels in the urine that point towards the health of your kidneys.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait, it's just a bird. A bird of prey to be exact. Society has had a fascination with birds of prey since the beginning of time. Most major empires have used hawk, eagles, and even vultures as national symbols. Who wouldn't? Birds of prey are so darn cool. These creatures are highly intelligent, fierce, can have night vision, and are some of the most efficient hunters in the animal kingdom. Clans and countries have trained these birds to be hunting companions. This tradition has even continued to this day.
The Dutch police decided to use this century-old tradition to combat the pesky issue of drones flying in their airspace. However, things have not been going according to plan.
Last year, The Dutch National Police decided they needed to add eagles to their payroll to train and hunt a new type of "annoying" prey, drones. As more people take up drones as a potential hobby across the world, countries have tightened regulations on the use of drones. There are real threats to national security. People can potentially lose control of drones, using drones for malicious acts, or simply causing aerial interference.
This centuries-old hobby aim was to tackle the growing issue of these unnamed vehicles flying taking to the air. The solution was praised across the world and the Dutch, per usual, were revered for their out of the box thinking. "It's a low-tech solution to a high-tech problem," said the Dutch police spokesman, Dennis Janus at last year's "drone hunting" demonstration. In a very epic statement, Janus said, "None of the Eagles were hurt, but as for the drones, none of them survived." By the end of this past summer, the Dutch police team had 100 hunting eagles ready for action.
Fast forward a year later, and it seems things are not going so well for the eagle drone initiative. The program is being retired because of the unexpectedly high costs, small demand, and even more surprising drawbacks. Some of the most obvious issues include how dangerous, powerful drones can be for the birds. A drone moving at 70mph could easily injure and bird. The other problems that came up include the danger to the public as well how expensive it could be to deal with those issues. Some argue releasing birds onto the public could endanger small children. No matter what the problem, the Dutch police will be looking for alternative programs to combat the current problem.
It looks like it is back to the drawing board for the Dutch police. Nevertheless, you have to give them points for such a creative solution to a growing problem.

Q: Updating chunkhash in both css and js file in webpack I have only got the JS file in the output whereas i have used the ExtractTextPlugin to extract the Css file.Both have chunkhash in their names.My problem is that a new chunkhash is only created when changes are made to the JS and not to the css. I want new chunkhash for changes in the Css file as well. Here in my webpack.config.js file.
var webpack = require("webpack");
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
          new ExtractTextPlugin("styles.[chunkhash].css")
          ],

entry: {
    main: './src/main1.js',
},

output: {
 path: __dirname + "/dist", // or path: path.join(__dirname,
"dist/js"),
 filename: "[name].[chunkhash].js"
},

module : {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /(node_modules)/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        query:{
            presets:['es2015']
        }
      },

      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!sass-loader',
      },

      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
          fallback: "style-loader",
          use: "css-loader"
        })
       }
     ]
}

};
and heres the main.js file
var msgs = require('./main2');

require('./css/css1.css');

main2.js is just another file where another variable is defined

A: Use contenthash in ExtractTextPlugin configuration instead of chunkhash.
new ExtractTextPlugin({
    filename: "css/app.[contenthash].css",
    allChunks: true
}),

Update 1:

*

*Not sure whether this will work in webpack version 4. Didn't get a chance to work on webpack version 4 as of yet. But as per comments it doesn't work as contenthash is a reserved word in webpack 4.

See :

*

*https://github.com/webpack-contrib/extract-text-webpack-plugin/issues/49

*Difference b/w contenthash, hash and chunkhash

A: I have been playing around with it and to be honest, did not find any decent solution for your problem using ExtractTextPlugin.
One solution could be using [hash] instead of [contenthash] if you are using webpack version 4.
Example setup:
// webpack v4
const path = require('path');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const WebpackMd5Hash = require('webpack-md5-hash');
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require('clean-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  entry: { main: './src/index.js' },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: '[name].[chunkhash].js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: "babel-loader"
        }
      },
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(
          {
             fallback: 'style-loader',
             use: ['css-loader', 'sass-loader']
          })
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new CleanWebpackPlugin('dist', {} ),
    new ExtractTextPlugin(
    {filename: 'style.[hash].css', disable: false, allChunks: true }
    ),

    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      inject: false,
      hash: true,
      template: './src/index.html',
      filename: 'index.html'
    }),
    new WebpackMd5Hash()
  ]
};

In here, WebpackMd5Hash is used to manage hashes correctly,  ExtractTextPlugin to create hash for your HTML file as you are trying in your config, yet there is one problem here.
It will update your style.css hash as you change your scss files, and not touch js. BUT: It will update both hashes if you change your js file it will update both.
To solve that problem, you need to use another plugin instead of ExtractTextPlugin. The plugin is https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin and it is strongly recommended by webpack maintainers.
Here is an example:
// webpack v4
const path = require('path');
// const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const WebpackMd5Hash = require('webpack-md5-hash');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require('clean-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  entry: { main: './src/index.js' },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: '[name].[chunkhash].js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: "babel-loader"
        }
      },
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use:  [  'style-loader', MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader, 'css-loader', 'postcss-loader', 'sass-loader']
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new CleanWebpackPlugin('dist', {} ),
    // new ExtractTextPlugin(
    //   {filename: 'style.[hash].css', disable: false, allChunks: true }
    // ),
    new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
      filename: 'style.[contenthash].css',
    }),
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      inject: false,
      hash: true,
      template: './src/index.html',
      filename: 'index.html'
    }),
    new WebpackMd5Hash()
  ]
};

A: You need the webpack-md5-hash plugin.
https://github.com/erm0l0v/webpack-md5-hash
npm install --save-dev webpack-md5-hash

Add the plugin in your Webpack config:
const WebpackMd5Hash = require('webpack-md5-hash');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new WebpackMd5Hash()
  ]
};

Советский район — один из районов Красноярска.

Описание
Район находится на левом берегу Енисея, ниже по течению, чем центральная часть города, и граничит с территорией Центрального района. На территории Советского района находится Красноярский алюминиевый завод. С правым берегом Енисея район связывают автомобильный Октябрьский мост и автомобильно-железнодорожный Коркинский мост.

Историческая справка
Первоначально территория района входила в состав Центрального района.

Индустриальный — микрорайон (посёлок), расположенный на северной окраине Советского района Красноярска. Включает улицы:
 Жданова
 Дружинников
 Кразовская
В непосредственной близости от посёлка и на его территории находятся крупные промышленные предприятия (в том числе КрАЗ). Из-за плохой экологии постоянное население в посёлке практически отсутствует, инфраструктура не развита. Большинство жилых зданий было снесено к 2003 году. Многие жители Красноярска не знают о существовании посёлка, у других он ассоциируется исключительно с местами лишения свободы. В посёлке, помимо жилых домов, имеются:
 Общежитие
 Две автобусных остановки ("Сады" и "ИТК")
 Три исправительных учреждения (ИК-17, ИК-31, ИК-27 ГУФСИН по Красноярскому краю)
 Учебный центр для подготовки сотрудников ФСИН России
Сообщение с менее отдалёнными районами города осуществляется автобусом №22 по маршруту ИТК - Спортзал. В настоящее время планируется постройка на территории посёлка мусороперерабатывающих предприятий.

The Aroostook War was undeclared and bloodless, which made tensions between Britain and the United States worse. It was due to the claims stemmed from an unclear boundary determination in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. The boundary line between Maine and New Brunswick had been a controversy between The United States and Britain since the end of the American Revolution. In March of 1839, the Governor of Maine agreed to terms that would henceforth end the Aroostook War.
To secure the Southern party members, Martin backed states' rights, that allowed keeping slaves as property. He also opposed the ending of the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Martin also continued with Jackson's policy of moving American Indians to land in the west. The Trail of Tears took place during his administration in which the Cherokee Indians were marched across the country from North Carolina to Oklahoma. Thousands of Cherokees died of deprivation and disease. By the end of Martin Van Buren's term, all of the Eastern tribes had their land taken and had been resettled to reservations. The continuation of Jackson's policies was thought of and viewed as inhumane.

When the financial crisis struck Martin Van Buren called for a special session of Congress, in September 1837. Martin announced a proposal to create an independent treasury system. The federal government would deposit its funds in sub-treasuries. He hoped that an independent treasury would help stabilize the American financial system by refusing access to government funds to banks that were poorly managed. To no surprise, people were very critical of it. Two groups of Democrats objected, one supporting the state banks and the other suspicious of all banks, attacked Martins solution. It was argued that the nation's economy required something stable like a national bank to manage the economy and develop economic stability. It was not until the summer of 1840 that Congress passed an independent treasury bill.
Martins main contribution to U.S. politics was developing the two-party system. He believed that the public would be best handled with two parties. One would govern and the other would offer an alternative. Before elected, the Federalists did not think there should be a Democratic-Republican party, and the Democratic-Republicans did all they could to stop the Federalists. The result was the one-party government. His goal was to rebuild the struggle between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, with each party containing followers from all across the Union.
While Martin Van Buren had earned the acknowledgment of scholars for his part in the development of the American political system, he has not been thought of as a great, or even a good, President. Martins critics would focus on his role in party-building and would claim that his efforts were the work of a power-hungry politician.
Martin Van Buren easily won the Democratic vote to run for a second term, but he was faced with many difficulties in 1840 election. Martins presidency had been difficult, with the economy in a severe financial crisis, and many other issues, such as slavery, the western expansion, and tension with Great Britain. This provided many opportunities for Van Buren's political opponents to criticize his choices.
The election between Martins democratic party and The Whigs party candidate, William Henry Harrison resulted in the largest turnout of any election up to that point in history. Martin was easily defeated by William Harrison with 234 electoral votes. Martin could not beat the opposition from the southern states that had supported the immediate annexation of Texas. On March fourth, 1841, William Henry Harrison was inaugurated as the ninth president of the united states.
Even though Martin Van Buren had lost in the 1840 election, he did not think of it as the end of his political career. Four years after his failed bid for a second term, Van Buren expected he would again receive the Democratic nomination, but the people were in favor of James K. Polk. Polk supported the annexation of Oregon and Texas, which was much more popular than Martins stance against it. Van Buren attempted to run again in 1848 as a member of the Free Soil Party, which was mostly made up of anti-slavery groups, but he had only received 10 percent of the vote.
The 1848 election had finally marked the end of Martin Van Buren's political career. In the early 1850s, Martin returned to Kinderhook to write his memoirs as well as a study of the American political parties. He traveled a lot and spent time with his surviving children and grandchildren. He loved their company. Martin Van Buren had lived to see the coming of the Civil War and he supported President Lincoln's decisions. Martin Van Buren died in 1862, at age seventy-nine and was buried in the Kinderhook Cemetery.

Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky (em russo: Михаил Николаевич Тухачевский) (16 de fevereiro de 1893 — 12 de junho de 1937) foi um comandante militar soviético e chefe do Exército Vermelho. Foi um dos vários comandantes do Exército Vermelho acusado de colaborar com os nazistas durante o Grande Expurgo, sendo condenado e executado pelos Processos de Moscou.

Carreira
Mikhail Tukhachevsky nasceu em 16 de fevereiro de 1893 na vila de Aleksandrovskoye (agora a aldeia de Slednevo na região de Smolensk da Rússia). Seu Pai - um nobre hereditário Smolensk empobrecido, Nikolai Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky (1866-1914), mãe - Mavra Petrovna Milokhova (1869-1941), uma camponesa Tukhachevsky era descendente do juiz judeu sefardita Pietro Liprandi, que fingiu ser um espanhol mourisco. Seus filhos eram os generais Pavel Petrovich Liprandi e Ivan Petrovich Liprandi . Sua filha, Ekaterina Petrovna Liprandi, casou-se com Alexander Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky e deu à luz Nikolai Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky. O filho do último foi Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky Conhecido por Misha, foi um estudante brilhante e falava 4 idiomas, em 1911 ingressou no Corpo de Cadetes de  Moscou de Catarina II. Em 1914 participou da Primeira Guerra Mundial com o Regimento da Guarda Semenovsky. Em 1915 foi ferido e feito prisioneiro permanecendo em campo de concentração, onde empreendeu numerosas tentativas de fuga. Curiosamente neste mesmo campo esteve preso Charles de Gaulle. Na prisão, Tukhachevsky tocava seu violino e expunha crenças niilistas e antisemitas, chamando os judeus de "cães que espalham suas pulgas pelo mundo".

Envolvido em pleno processo revolucionário, ingressou no Partido Comunista em 1918, pouco depois de ser convocado por Trotski para o exército. Neste mesmo ano sofreu uma tragédia familiar, sua esposa se suicidou para salvá-lo, pois ela havia sido apanhada a roubar comida para a família. Casou-se pouco depois, o qual acabou fracassando devido a sua dedicação a carreira.

Teve uma ascensão meteórica, sendo que durante a Guerra Civil Russa, atraindo a atenção de Lenin pela extraordinária capacidade de manejar as unidades sob seu comando, sendo promovido a Comandante em Chefe da Frente Sul com apenas 26 anos. Três meses depois era comandante supremo do Front no Cáucaso.

Em 1924 começou  a tarefa de reorganizar o Exército Vermelho, contrariando a cúpula dominante que contava com o apoio de Stalin. Em 1928 era Chefe do Estado-Maior Geral, porém foi se afastando progressivamente, pois suas idéias chocavam-se frontalmente com as de Stalin. Suas origens e sua vasta cultura atuavam contra ele neste conturbado momento  de terror. Durante os anos seguintes vários de seus mentores e colegas foram sendo executados ou faleceram de forma conturbada. Assim nos últimos anos sua vida era um constante temor, pois tinha certeza que seus dias estavam contados.

Em 1935 foi nomeado Marechal da União Soviética, mas isto seria apenas o início de seu declínio. Fez uma série de viagens pela Europa e recebeu inúmeras transferências forçadas neste período. Em 26 de maio de 1937, foi preso e executado pouco tempo depois.

Condenação
Acadêmicos como Dick Roberts alegam que na verdade Josef Stalin queria eliminar o maior número de rivais em potencial, principalmente do alto escalão do Exército. Para isto valeu-se surpreendentemente de um relatório elaborado por Reinhard Heydrich, chefe do Serviço de Segurança Nazista. Heydrich viu nisto uma oportunidade de eliminar o alto escalão soviético. Esta colaboração começou em 1922, ano em que se assinou o termo de cooperação militar. Oficiais alemães e soviéticos realizavam intercâmbios para estudar no outro país. Tukhachevsky foi um destes que participaram dos intercâmbios.

Aparentemente, o caso Tukhachevsky começou quando Heydrich recebeu informações de um exilado anticomunista russo, o General Nikolai Skoblin, que afirmava que o marechal estava conspirando para derrubar Stalin e seu regime. Heydrich enxergou as possibilidades oferecidas por estas informações e decidiu utilizá-las. Enviou então seus agentes para roubar a documentação e com ajuda de um falsificador muito competente, preparou um dossiê que incriminava categoricamente o marechal, acusando-o de ser um agente alemão infiltrado. Roberts e parte dos acadêmicos que estudaram a historia soviética alegam que o falso dossiê foi infiltrado na rede de espionagem tchecoslovaco, chegando desta forma aos soviéticos.

Julgamento
Após um julgamento secreto, conhecido como Processo da Organização Militar anti-soviética de Trotski, Tukhachevsky e mais oito outros comandantes militares foram condenados como agentes nazistas em 12 de junho de 1937 e imediatamente executados. Tukhachevsky foi morto pelo capitão da NKVD Vasili Blokhin. Não foi comunicado à família de que o Marechal Tukhachevsky havia sido preso e executado, sua filha soube da morte na escola quando os colegas começaram a questioná-la como filha de um traidor "fascista". Profundamente traumatizada, ela foi para casa e se enforcou. A viúva Tukhachevski foi presa pelo NKVD dias após o suicídio da garota, mais tarde ela seria deportada para os Montes Urais. Na verdade Tukhachevskaya Svetlana, única filha a não se enforcar, foi enviada para um orfanato especial para os filhos dos inimigos do povo. Ela foi presa em 1944 e condenada por um órgão extrajudicial do Conselho Especial do NKVD a cinco anos de Gulag. Ela morreu em 1982. Há um documentário de 2008 da televisão russa intitulado "Kremlin Children, sobre a vida de Tukhachevskaya Svetlana".

Reabilitação póstuma
Marshal Tukhachevsky foi reabilitado pelo novo líder soviético Nikita Khrushchev, durante o 22º Congresso do partido em outubro de 1961.

Em 15 de Fevereiro de 1963, aconteceu uma modesta cerimônia na Academia Militar Frunze, em memória do  Marechal Tukhachevsky, este ato pretendeu de certa forma reabilitar de uma forma mais pública um dos mais magníficos oficiais expurgados por Stalin, durante os dramáticos anos que precederam a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Q: How to unzip a file with Python 2.4? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to unzip a zip file with 2.4. extract() is not included in 2.4. I'm restricted to using 2.4.4 on my server.
Can someone please provide a simple code example?

A: You have to use namelist() and extract(). Sample considering directories
import zipfile
import os.path
import os
zfile = zipfile.ZipFile("test.zip")
for name in zfile.namelist():
  (dirname, filename) = os.path.split(name)
  print "Decompressing " + filename + " on " + dirname
  if not os.path.exists(dirname):
    os.makedirs(dirname)
  zfile.extract(name, dirname)

A: Modifying Ovilia's answer so that you can specify the destination directory as well:
def unzip(zipFilePath, destDir):
    zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(zipFilePath)
    for name in zfile.namelist():
        (dirName, fileName) = os.path.split(name)
        if fileName == '':
            # directory
            newDir = destDir + '/' + dirName
            if not os.path.exists(newDir):
                os.mkdir(newDir)
        else:
            # file
            fd = open(destDir + '/' + name, 'wb')
            fd.write(zfile.read(name))
            fd.close()
    zfile.close()

A: There's some problem with Vinko's answer (at least when I run it). I got:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '01org-webapps-countingbeads-422c4e1/'

Here's how to solve it:
# unzip a file
def unzip(path):
    zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(path)
    for name in zfile.namelist():
        (dirname, filename) = os.path.split(name)
        if filename == '':
            # directory
            if not os.path.exists(dirname):
                os.mkdir(dirname)
        else:
            # file
            fd = open(name, 'w')
            fd.write(zfile.read(name))
            fd.close()
    zfile.close()

A: Not fully tested, but it should be okay:
import os
from zipfile import ZipFile, ZipInfo

class ZipCompat(ZipFile):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        ZipFile.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

    def extract(self, member, path=None, pwd=None):
        if not isinstance(member, ZipInfo):
            member = self.getinfo(member)
        if path is None:
            path = os.getcwd()
        return self._extract_member(member, path)

    def extractall(self, path=None, members=None, pwd=None):
        if members is None:
            members = self.namelist()
        for zipinfo in members:
            self.extract(zipinfo, path)

    def _extract_member(self, member, targetpath):
        if (targetpath[-1:] in (os.path.sep, os.path.altsep)
            and len(os.path.splitdrive(targetpath)[1]) > 1):
            targetpath = targetpath[:-1]
        if member.filename[0] == '/':
            targetpath = os.path.join(targetpath, member.filename[1:])
        else:
            targetpath = os.path.join(targetpath, member.filename)
        targetpath = os.path.normpath(targetpath)
        upperdirs = os.path.dirname(targetpath)
        if upperdirs and not os.path.exists(upperdirs):
            os.makedirs(upperdirs)
        if member.filename[-1] == '/':
            if not os.path.isdir(targetpath):
                os.mkdir(targetpath)
            return targetpath
        target = file(targetpath, "wb")
        try:
            target.write(self.read(member.filename))
        finally:
            target.close()
        return targetpath

A: I am testing in Python 2.7.3rc2 and the the ZipFile.namelist() is not returning an entry with just the sub directory name for creating a sub directory, but only a list of file names with sub directory, as follows:

['20130923104558/control.json', '20130923104558/test.csv']

Thus the check

if fileName == '':

does not evaluate to True at all.
So I modified the code to check if the dirName exists inside destDir and to create  dirName if it does not exist. File is extracted only if fileName part is not empty. So this should take care of the condition where a directory name can appear in ZipFile.namelist()
def unzip(zipFilePath, destDir):
    zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(zipFilePath)
    for name in zfile.namelist():
        (dirName, fileName) = os.path.split(name)
        # Check if the directory exisits
        newDir = destDir + '/' + dirName
        if not os.path.exists(newDir):
            os.mkdir(newDir)
        if not fileName == '':
            # file
            fd = open(destDir + '/' + name, 'wb')
            fd.write(zfile.read(name))
            fd.close()
    zfile.close()

Was the guy in the hat Murray The K, or maybe someone from Specialty or Coral? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks Artie for the thoughts on the great Alan Freed …very wonderful article..
Clevland Ohio DJ…who did liner notes on various albums..Bill Randle?
Not that it matters all that much … but the guy in the hat is said to be disc jockey Ben Costa. Photo taken 1958. I'm guessing this photo is his biggest claim to fame.
Thanks, Artie. I especially appreciate your personal insights into payola. I fail to see what's so morally horrendous about bribing a deejay to play a record. Yes, it's depressing to think that some really great records don't get the necessary exposure because there's not enough money behind them and it's also depressing to think how few music fans understand the politics of the biz–that a lot of the hit songs they like got the neccesary exposure because of payola. But is it morally wrong to offer compensation when asking someone to render a service on your behalf? I don't think so. I love the attitude you had when leasing masters–"What I don't know won't get me indicted!" Reminds me of the payola probles of the '70s, when federal agents were following Thom Bell around thinking he must have been involved somehow because he was a producer. He wasn't a record promoter! So he was always polite to them and entertained them–he had nothing to hide!

A newly designed pattern for photonic crystals, developed with the help of University of Maryland professors, has brought researchers one step closer to developing quantum computers accessible to the general public.
Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute, which includes scientists from this university's physics department along with other leading institutions in quantum research, created the crystal design and implemented it on a photonic chip.
Photons are the smallest amount of light that exists, said Mohammad Hafezi, a professor for the electrical and computer engineering and physics department.
Photonic crystals have thousands of holes carved into them by scientists, which causes light to interact. Researchers use different hole patterns in the crystal to change the way that light — in the form of photons — bends and bounces through the crystal, according to a Joint Quantum Institute press release. In the new chip, researchers etch out thousands of triangular holes that resemble a bee's honeycomb, the release added.
This design causes a single photon to be emitted through the crystal, instead of the normal large mass of photons are released with fiber optics — which is how long-distance phone calls, cable television and the internet work Hafezi said.
The project started about a year and a half ago, said co-author Sabyasachi Barik, a graduate student in the physics department. All of the research was conducted at the Maryland NanoCenter in the Kim Engineering Building at this university.
The use of single photons is important for the future of communication systems, Hafezi said. Currently, technology giants such as Google are in the process of creating quantum computers. These computers will have the ability to calculate large numbers and chemical reactions that the type of computers used now aren't able to do. The chip's design makes it possible for the transfer of photons between quantum computers to occur without any losses.
It also creates a more secure communication system, Hafezi said, by reducing the threat of hacks, due to the use of one photon instead of hundreds at a time. This is because information from the system is embedded into the photons when sent to another computer, and when that information is only embedded into a single particle instead of a mass of them, it is harder to infiltrate.
While quantum computers are the future of communication, one challenge at this point is to route the quantum information without any losses from one system to another. The new chip is able to do that, Barik said. The next step in research is to continue testing this, and he estimated it would take about one to two years to do so.
