The Patent and Trademark Office has released proposed examination guidelines that will apply in the evaluation of computer-implemented inventions. The office will release a legal analysis to support the guidelines on June 23, 1995.
The proposed guidelines were developed to assist examiners in their review of applications on software-based inventions. They respond to recent developments in the law governing the patentability of computer-implemented inventions, and outline the office's policies related to these inventions. The guidelines do not have the status of rules, but instead govern the office's internal examination policies.
"We recognize the critical importance of effectively protecting software innovation," said Bruce A. Lehman, assistant secretary of commerce and commissioner of patents and trademarks. "The guidelines are the first step in our efforts to make the patent system more receptive to software innovation. Our guidelines will enable us to satisfy our mission of issuing valid and enforceable patent rights," he continued.
The proposed guidelines have been published for public comment and are available electronically on the PTO's World Wide Web server (www.uspto.gov). Comments on the guidelines and legal analysis will be accepted until July 31, 1995. The office hopes to finalize the guidelines by September of this year.

Nurse Leads Effort in Pain Care Management Program for Emergency Department
by Pamela Katz Ressler, RN, BSN, HN-BC, MS-PREP candidate, PREP-AIRED moderator and administrator, Tufts University School of Medicine
When Bat Masterson, RN, a former Navy nurse, was hired as the emergency department case manager at Kootenai Medical Center, a 246 bed acute care hospital in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, he recognized that an effective, collaborative, multidisciplinary pain management plan was needed. He saw that repetitive emergency department visits for pain issues were often the norm for patients without primary care health care providers and there was limited follow-up for effective pain management for these patients. Additionally, staff were often burdened by responding to drug-seeking or doctor-shopping individuals who visited the emergency department repeatedly to attempt to obtain narcotic prescriptions. In 2006, Mr. Masterson and a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals developed the Pain Care Management Program that embraced a coordinated care model and electronic communication tools to monitor and support pain patients who visited the emergency department. Four goals of emergency department pain care were identified by the team and served as guiding principles in the development of strategies and interventions of the Pain Care Management Program of Kootenai Medical Center.
- Manage patients with chronic pain or pain related complaints through coordination of care with the patient's primary physician and the Emergency Department.
- Support the treatment goals of the primary physician without encumbering the Emergency Department.
- Use non-narcotic pain relief, whenever possible, and as a standard of care for the treatment of headaches.
- Provide the best care for the patient for the condition they have that day
The results of the Pain Care Management Program have been impressive:
- A 77% reduction in emergency department visits for pain care management.
- An increase from 42% to 89% of individuals in the pain care study with primary care providers
- Improved patient and nursing satisfaction scores
Congratulations to Bat Masterson, RN and the emergency department pain care management team at Kootenai Medical Center for an innovative and collaborative model of pain care.

Editorial: Ugly 'fiscal cliff' deal had to pass
The deal passed by Congress Tuesday night to avoid the "fiscal cliff" is an ugly little contraption — a meager New Year's nip at staggering debt and deficit problems. It trims $650 billion compared with the big $4.6 trillion bite that would have come from simply doing nothing and letting cliff-triggered tax increases and spending cuts kick in.
All the same, passing it was the right thing to do — mostly because a year of unproductive squabbling left it as the only option that could be passed in time. No one involved sees it as a final answer. It is, instead, a stop-gap aimed at avoiding the economic risk and human misery that going over the cliff would bring.
As appealing as the cliff-induced numbers are to deficit hawks like us, imposing them abruptly would have needlessly endangered a still struggling recovery and done so in a way that was intentionally designed to be so foolish that no one would do it. The immediate price could have been a severe reaction from the financial markets; longer term, say economists, the severity of the cliff would have pushed the economy back into recession.
But to avoid this potential calamity, negotiators essentially punted.
The mini bargain that appeared certain to be enacted Tuesday night was a little like a guy with a huge credit card bill deciding to make the minimum payment and then to buy a few more things with the card to make himself feel better.
Budget negotiators usually equate pain with serious deficit reduction, and even this deal will give the public a small taste of what's to come whenever Washington finally gets scared into real deficit reduction. Middle- and lower-income workers especially will feel the bite when about $1,000 is added to the average family's tax bill as Social Security taxes return to their normal level, ending one bit of stimulus used to float the economy for the past two years.
But that's pretty much the end of serious fiscal responsibility in the package. Take taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Obama campaigned for a year on raising tax rates on the top 2% of Americans, which was already an inadequate goal. There's no reason that the ruinously unaffordable Bush tax cuts shouldn't be phased out for just about everyone because all Americans have a stake in getting the national debt under control. But negotiators couldn't even bring themselves to discomfort the entire top 2%, settling instead for raising taxes on the tiny slice of Americans in the top 1%. Obama's actions, combined with long-standing Republican opposition to tax cuts, pretty much ensure that few people's rates will rise in the next four years.
Their hardest work done, negotiators then bought a list of expensive items, including renewing long-term unemployment benefits ($30 billion), preventing steep cuts to Medicare's doctor payments ($31 billion) and extending tax credits for taxpayers and businesses ($64 billion). Most of the cost went onto the national credit card. Some are appropriate for the short term, but at some point, they'll need to be paid for.
The greater failure — the one Obama and House Speaker John Boehner had sought to avoid with their unsuccessful "grand bargain" — was to substitute smart, gradual spending cuts and revenue increases for the ham-handed ones that would have resulted from going over the cliff. The automatic cuts, for example, were designed to slice mindlessly through all programs, no matter their value, provoking the Pentagon to warn of massive furloughs, with even troops exposed after September.
With deficits projected to continue rising dangerously in the wake of the mini-compromise, much more will be needed. Negotiators effectively set a new two-month deadline for the next deal, with renewal of the nation's borrowing authority as an even more dangerous trigger than the cliff. Given politicians' repeated failure to make hard decisions, only a wild-eyed optimist would assume a full agreement will get done. Instead, the measure of success is whether a string of deals — particularly on entitlement costs and the tax code — can get things moving in the right direction.
Standing on this compromise alone cannot achieve that goal. But torpedoing it would have been worse. The best course was to take the deal, getting the nation on a safer path for now. But it only resets the stage for the next suspenseful act.

So now I present to you, 3 stupid things that I did today, in no particular order:
- Fed green beans to a baby wearing all white.
- Took said baby's diaper off, THEN realized I didn't have a clean diaper. Ran to get a clean diaper, came back to pee on the floor. Awesome. I thought only boys did that?!
- Gave my 2 year old a cup of milk at naptime because she BEGGED for it and I am a big old sucker. Then heard "Mommy, my bed's all wet!" and discovered she opened the cup and dumped it in her bed, hoping for a get-out-of-jail-free card. No such luck.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economic recovery appears to have finally moved onto a faster track, but will the rest of the world follow? Global politics may play a large role in answering that question.
As the U.S. economy struggled to gain steam in recent years, it faced head winds from Europe's deep debt crisis, a stagnant Japan, investor aversion to emerging economies, and a slowdown in China that would pass for a blistering pace anywhere else.
Those global trends didn't hold back the United States, and in some cases they were brought about by events in the U.S. economy. But they did contribute to slower growth and add to a widespread feeling of uncertainty. The trend is reversing, but five big developing nations have contentious elections this year.
The U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 4.1 percent from July to September, and economists are ratcheting up their forecast for the final three months of 2013.
The optimistic outlook for this year builds on the good news that Europe finally seems ready to grow again. Albeit at a sluggish pace, Europe's growth at least will add to the acceleration of global economic growth rather than detract from it. And Japan, having deployed actions to stimulate growth similar to those the United States took, is expected to be a healthy contributor to global growth.
Think of it as a global synchronization, in which developed and major developing economies start to grow again in lockstep, said Jim Paulsen, the chief investment strategist for Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis-St. Paul, part of global bank Wells Fargo.
This synchronization implies that global demand increases for agriculture, forestry and mined products. That's good for U.S. farmers, miners and loggers, as growing demand has the added benefit of boosting not only exports but also prices.
Yet that's not what Paulsen sees as the main benefit. He thinks all that cash that companies have been sitting on may finally be freed up, because CEOs will feel better now about the global outlook.
"I just think people have scratched their heads for a long time … but they haven't stepped up," Paulsen said. "At least in every major market that you operate in global trade, you're seeing things head in the right direction."
It's easy to forget how unusual a period the past eight years represent: the worst downturn in the United States since the Great Depression, and Europe in a mess not seen since the aftermath of World War II. Japan has struggled for a decade to get back on firmer footing, and the only good-news story was emerging economies such as China and Brazil.
But the Federal Reserve's unconventional support for the U.S. economy led to an exodus of investors from Brazil and other emerging markets. The Fed's bond-buying program in the past year helped spark huge returns in U.S. stocks, offering outsized gains with much less risk than investing in developing nations.
The Fed said in December that it would begin tapering back those bond purchases this month and continue throughout 2014. That means emerging nations such as Brazil, India and Turkey will be able to attract more investors and presumably grow at a faster pace, boosting demand for U.S. farm products and manufactured goods.

These Cheap Headphones Will Knock Your Socks Off
These Cheap Headphones Sound Great
We test a lot of audio products around here — so many, in fact, that it's getting harder to differentiate between many of them. But these RHA SA 950i headphones set themselves apart from the crowd with a triple punch: They're relatively cheap, they're feather-light, and most importantly, they crank out some spectacular sound.
The minute I first held these unusually small over-the-ear headphones in my hands, I was astonished. Something this substantial has no business being so light. They weigh hardly anything — a mere 3.7 oz (105g). I handed them to a few of my colleagues here at the Midwest Test Facility, and all of them immediately had a look of surprise on their faces — even those who don't care at all about headphones and their associated gadgetry.
Placing the headphones on my ears, their light weight proved to be a pleasing characteristic. I could hardly tell I was wearing them — they were so light they might as well have been weightless. Although the headphones clamped onto my oversized noggin more tightly than I would have liked, I quickly became acclimated, realizing it was good to have them pressing up against my ears firmly enough to form a proper seal, and to keep them from falling off my head if I started feeling energetic. After wearing them nonstop for a couple of hours, I hereby declare them officially comfy-cozy longtime.
Next it was time to get down to some serious listening. I started out with some righteous funk, cranking it up a bit. Whoa! These babies were loud. And where have I heard sounds like this before? The most noticeable attribute of the sound quality was the forceful bass, reminding me of my favorite headphones for low frequencies, the Beats Studio by Dr. Dre.
Heck, I thought, why not break out those stellar $300 Beats headphones and compare them with this relatively cheap $59.95 product? Would it be a fair fight?
While I was at it, I picked out another pricy pair of cans, the Soul by Ludacris, to see how this humble pair of sound muffs stood up to the monsters of the headphone midway.
In mid-listen, quickly taking off these RHA headphones and placing the Dr. Dre phones on my head, I realized the more expensive headphones did sound somewhat cleaner (but not by much), and their signature bass response was almost equaled by these RHA headphones.
When I replaced those with my overall favorite headphones, the Soul By Ludacris, the result of my comparison was the same. The bass response was equal, and the highs and midrange were comparable as well. I can only conclude that when you spend four or five times as much on an audio product, you certainly expect it to sound at least twice as good — but in this case, these cheap headphones were nearly the equal of the much more expensive Dr. Dre and Ludacris models. The only difference I could discern was slightly better presence and a bit less distortion with the two high-end pairs.
So how would I describe the sound of these RHA SA 950i headphones?
The highs are extremely well-defined and relatively free of distortion — tightly tuned snare drums, cymbals and bell trees shimmered with their clear high-end frequency response.
The midrange sounds realistic. The headphones faithfully reproduce the subtle sounds of classical guitar and the clear tones of the human voice with aplomb.
And then there's that bass. Wow. It felt like the headphones were dancing on my head, just like the Dr. Dre's do. The sound was firm, clear and clean, and when I cranked the volume up, it was almost scary.
These little British headphones knocked my socks off. After intense listening to a variety of musical styles, and comparing them with my favorite headphones, I can only conclude this is the best value in headphones I've ever seen. Unless you're an audiophile or you're lucky enough to have inherited golden ears, I don't think you'll be able to tell the difference between these and headphones costing five times as much.
They'll be available Nov. 5 for $59.95 on Amazon in the U.S., and although that's still plenty of money, when it comes to this kind of sound, this is one of the best bargains of the year.

In a city with a plethora of chain restaurants, it can be tough to find a homecooked meal.
Flat Out Food: Your guide to a homecooked meal in Weyburn
In a city with a plethora of chain restaurants, it can be tough to find a homecooked meal.
Perhaps that's why the lunchtime lineup at the Welsh Kitchen and Bakery in Weyburn stretches out the door.
Owner Vicki Leas and her staff bake up to 10 different kinds of bread each day, along with hotdog and burger buns and sweet treats that fill the brightly lit dessert cooler.
"I cannot believe how busy it is. I'm so blessed that we've done so well," said Vicki. "Weyburn needs something (else). There are so many fast food restaurants here."
Vicki and her mom bought the business in 2009 (Vicki has since bought out her mom and runs it with her husband and sister-in-law).
The two women didn't have any experience running a bakery or restaurant, but they jumped in.
"The first day we opened — I look back and I can't believe it — that was the first day I made bread," recalled Vicki. "We've been making all our own bread ever since. I'm at capacity with how much we can make. It's a tiny kitchen."
While Vicki uses honey from a bee-keeper in Francis and buys all of her meat from Western Prime Meat Processors in Weyburn, she's disappointed she can't use more ingredients from producers in the area. She needs to keep food costs affordable to stay competitive, and finding local suppliers that can keep up with demand has been difficult.
Those lunchtime lineups are for Vicki's $11 feature of a made-from-scratch soup (try the dill pickle or chicken, bacon and wild rice) and a sandwich that features turkey or beef roasted in the tiny kitchen. For an extra dollar, diners can add a slice of dessert: nostalgic Saskatchewan favourites are big sellers with the locals.
"We get a lot of people in from the highway that don't know what Matrimonial Cake or Nanaimo Bars are," she said of the new customers won over by her from-scratch baking.
People also stop in for coffee and cheesecake or a decorated sugar cookie.
On the first Thursday of the month, Vicki features a roast turkey dinner with all the fixings over the noon hour. Breakfast is served until 11 and all day on the weekends.
If you're in Weyburn and craving a homemade meal, you may also want to visit Swaad Indian Restaurant for from-scratch curries, take-away donair and shawarma wraps, or Comfort Café for a burger and hand-cut fries.
The Club Café is also said to have some of the best Chinese food for miles.

Expert Group on Public Participation
The Meeting of the Parties decided at its third session (Riga, 11–13 June 2008) to address implementation of the Convention's provisions on public participation by establishing an intersessional body under the authority of the Working Group of the Parties in the form of an Ad Hoc Expert Group on Public Participation. Through decision III/9 on the work programme for 2009 – 2011 (ECE/MP.PP/2008/2/Add.17), the Ad Hoc Expert Group was given a mandate to coordinate information-sharing on public participation in decision-making, including through the collection of good practice examples, and to advise the Working Group of the Parties on the terms of reference for a task force on public participation. Parties, Observers and other stakeholders were subsequently invited to nominate experts to participate in the Expert Group.

Could it be an April Fool's prank? A sociological experiment? A performance art deconstruction of social media's ever-evolving power?
Whatever it is, James Franco has deleted his Twitter account, active for just over a month. In that time, it sure had a good run. He famously live-tweeted the Oscars, caused hearts to melt with shots of himself sleeping with kittens, and shocked people with a photo of an unidentifiable object protruding from the fly of his jeans - not to mention one from a film shoot where he was surrounded by naked women.
"My thought was 'this is my Twitter," he told The Courier Mail. "I can do whatever I want.'
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
But apparently, not everyone agreed on that. The 32-year-old rennaissance man, whose new movie "Your Highness" hits theaters on Friday, said that some companies he worked with objected to the content he was posting, and down came the account.
Perhaps it was his own exile from Twitter that prompted him to declare, "Social media is over." Anyway, we knew he would never give up an extracurricular activity unless forced to.
Farewell, @jamesfranco; we barely knew thee.

Just Another Day In Paradise
You know, that period of time right before an Ironman race where it's no longer this thing way out there for which you are preparing, but an imminent challenge. It gets real. Really real.
It's sort of like looking under the bed for that monster you were always afraid was there as a child only to feel the hot breath and see the yellow eyes of an honest to goodness monster.
My monster is the swim, so much so that I've been lately going off the reservation and swimming sets that exceed the distance prescribed by My Personal Yoda, Coach Kris. Fear will do that to you.
So here's the question I have about my particular monster. I know I can swim 2.4 miles in the open water. Been there. Done that. I'm pretty sure I can swim 2.4 miles without the aid of a wetsuit. But when the water starts moving up and down or side to side, or when I have to swim into a current, my weak little canine brain starts to despair.
Cozumel is a one loop swim course, leaving more time for despair and less opportunity to break the swim into bit sized pieces. In addition, the first half of the swim is into the teeth of the prevailing current that flows from south to north and which is used by divers to "drift dive."
Has anyone actually been in this water to know how serious this current is? Are we talking "lazy river" current or are we talking "Deliverance" current. I don't want to drift. And I don't particularly want to swim for an hour on the redline into a current before turning for home. But I think I hear banjo music.

Grey, you know I'm a crappy swimmer. I've done an ocean swim, 2.4 miles, point to point, and being dang-near the last one out of the water (it was a "swimmers event"), I can tell you that finishing was all about the area between your ears. You are tough b'stard, and will kill it. I don't know about the current, and really, it is what it is - you can't get any more prepared for it. HTFU.
- Unknown said...
I don't know about that particular current, but I would definitely rather swim into the current going out and have it push me coming home than the reverse!
Is there a wave pool anywhere in range of the Megalopolis? It might be worthwhile for you (and maybe fun for Superpounce, too) to go play in some waves, and feel happy and comfortable in them.
- SWTrigal said...
I went diving in Cozumel years ago but I think I had drank so many Margaritas the night before, I did not care about the current (back in my non-athletic days). There was current in Cozumel, thus "drift diving". I am sure they will have the race in some protected area though..hopefully you will have the current "with you"..
- Fe-lady said...
you need to meet us in San Fran next June for an Alcatraz swim...then NOTHING will feel like current from then on!
I would check last years times for pros and such and see if they vary much from say, Kona times.
You will be fine...!!!!
- md said...
You're gonna be fine! I've done two ocean IM swims, and 3 halves in the ocean as well.
It won't be as bad as you are thinking.
If you are worried about the current, if there even is one, practice your sighting. I'm sure you will do a practice swim the days before, once you get there. pick a building, something to sight off of, when heading back to shore. and just stay in the pack, near the bouys. you are not gonna get blown away in some mysterious current. I'd be more worried about choppiness, or waves. but I'm sure that area is pretty flat, and nice and clear.
it's coming up!!! exciting!
- 21stCenturyMom said...
What FeLady said. This year's Sharkfest (the Alcatraz swim she got me hooked on) was brutal with respect to the current and the waves and I went way off course but I did not die - I got back to the shore and was ahead of 50 or so people out of the 850 that started. Considering how far off course I was this was okay.
Hint - do not use the kayaks to assure yourself you are on course. The kayaks are there to keep you from drifting out to sea and if you are near them then you are on the outer bounds of where they will let you be. Stick with the pack and you will be fine.
- 21stCenturyMom said...
ps - I know that doesn't answer your question but hopefully what Debi said will help
- Kim said...
doh, way to scare me a little bit more about this swim. jerk. we will be fine. *Hey God - you there? it's me Kim, can you please get my sick ass better so I can get into a pool and do some swimming. i have a scary 1-loop 2.4 mile swim in the ocean, with currents and sharks, and i cant wear a wetsuit. mmmkay? thanks.
- BreeWee said...
Oooooh, I am begging coach to let me race Cozumel... we can battle the current together, you will be fine, honest... you just need to go with the flow, never fight :)

Arsenal give new deals to Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson
Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson have signed new deals at Arsenal.
Last Updated: 22/12/12 2:48pm
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who is hoping to tie down Theo Walcott on an extended contract, admits he is hoping the five players will form the spine of his team for some time to come.
Gibbs is the oldest of the bunch at 23 and he has already received international recognition along with Ramsey (21), Oxlade-Chamberlain (19), Wilshere and Jenkinson (both 20) at various levels.
Wenger said: "We are delighted that these five young players have all signed new long-term contracts.
"The plan is to build a team around a strong basis of young players, in order to get them to develop their talent at the club.
"Jack is certainly the best known, the leader of this group - but the other four players are exceptional footballers, and we're very happy that we could conclude their new deals at the same time.
"I'm a strong believer in stability and I believe when you have a core of British players, it's always easier to keep them together and that's what we'll try to achieve going forward."

Apple store managers are being trained to watch for "how unions affect the workplace" this morning in a mandatory class, according to CNET.com, who secured an internal Apple memo.
The training comes only six weeks after an employee-led effort to unionize retail workers. That effort was stoked by complaints of break schedules, lower pay for part-time employees and "the selection and hiring process for internal candidates for open positions."
A union doesn't necessarily guarantee any perceived or real work conditions would be addressed or changed. It would give the workers a seat at the table. Apple could continue it's standard operating procedures.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
In addition, Apple can campaign against a union, telling employees the company prefers to operate without one.
There are more than 350 Apple retail stores around the world. Apple's retail stores opened more than 10 years ago, generating $14.12 billion in the last quarter alone.

"It was an arrogant mistake," the actor said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

As reported Thursday on AccessHollywood.com, Penn's request for legal separation was "dismissed and taken out of the system" less than a month after it was filed.
Penn initially filed the papers on April 24 in Marin County, Calif., citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Fourth Presbyterian Church on Michigan Avenue became a who's-who of the culinary world for the funeral of the famed Chicago chef Charlie Trotter.
Chefs and foodies whom Trotter influenced came from near and far Monday to say their farewells.
"He was global," colleague Janelle Emalfarb Gordon said. "And he was a local boy. He grew up in Wilmette!"
Trotter was found dead on Nov. 5 in his home at the age of 54. Many credit Trotter with being one of the first to bring true prestige to a job once thought of as "behind the scenes."
"It was the first time that people came in and wanted to see the chef," colleague Rhonda Purwin said. "Wanted to talk about the chef. Wanted to go to the restaurant because of the chef."
And then of course, the food itself.
"He raised the bar," Chef Rick Tramonto said. "If you could keep up with Charlie's bar, you knew you were fine. Or if you could at least get close to it, you knew you were doing OK."
Trotter was remembered by colleagues and former employees as tough, but fair.
"There were days when you didn't like him, but you always respected him," Gordon said. "What he did in 54 years, 10 people that live to 90 don't accomplish that."
"He just gave us opportunities and if you took it, he gave you more," former employee Leslie Tellez said. "For me, he will always be remembered and we thank him for everything he did for us."
Among the speakers at the funeral were Trotter's sister, Anne, and a pastor from his hometown of Wilmette.
An official cause of death for Trotter has not yet been released. The autopsy was inconclusive last week, and toxicology test results won't come back until Mid-December, at the earliest.
Charlie Trotter Memorial Service Draws Who's-Who of Chefs
Friends, family and a who's who of chefs mourn Trotter at his funeral in Chicago

Surely, who but a small club of wealthy investors could shed a tear for BP, which has seen a quarter of its share value wiped out since the beginning of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill?
Clue: remember what those initials stand for.
If you thought that fat-cat shareholders were the only losers from the oil giant's pounding on the international markets, then spare a thought for tens of thousands of ordinary Britons whose futures are heavily linked to the firm's fortunes.
IN PICTURES: Louisiana oil spill
Shareholder dividends paid out by BP last year accounted for as much as £1 in every £7 paid by the biggest 100 firms into Britain's pension funds and saving plans.
So when BP's shares plunge as a result of President Obama's initiation of a criminal investigation into the Macondo oil well disaster, British pensions take a hammering as well.
It's also why many on this side of the Atlantic are more than sympathetic to the challenge facing BP's embattled chief executive, Tony Hayward, who is expected to risk incurring further wrath in the US by defying calls from US senators to halt more than $10 billion worth of payouts due to shareholders this year.
Mr. Hayward, now believed to be battling to hang on to his job, returned to London from the US last night to speak to investors.
One commentator in a leading right-wing British newspaper this week accused President Obama of "vitriol" that was "unwise and potentially dangerous" for saying that he was "enraged and heartbroken" after BP's attempts to staunch the flow had failed.
Prejudice against British?
In the same piece for the mass circulation Daily Mail, Stephen Glover suggested that the President's impatience with BP owed as much to anti-British prejudice.
"I don't wish to sound paranoid, but it is pretty clear that Mr Obama does not much like anything that is British," he added. "There is an anti-British undertow throughout his book Dreams From My Father, with slighting references to the country and its citizens."
Others, such as Prof. Michael Cox, an associate of the foreign policy think-tank Chatham House, agree that Obama may be "slightly playing the British card" in terms of deploying some "anti-big business, anti oil" rhetoric since the crisis.
"It's true that he carries some different emotional baggage from, say, George W. Bush's father, who had a different emotional memory towards Britain because of the Second World War," he adds.
It's also true, says Professor Cox, that the Obama White House is not "quite so enthusiastic about the fabled 'special relationship' with Britain because of the emergence of new geopolitical realities in the world, such as the emergence of India and China."
That said, Cox stresses that British-US ties remain firm, not least because of intensive cooperation at a diplomatic and security level, and because of the British contribution to the conflict in Afghanistan.
"Don't forget also that the American economy is still very, very dependent on inward investment by foreigners," he says, "and the biggest foreign direct investor in the US is guess who? The UK."
Allyson Stewart-Allen of International Marketing Partners, a consultancy specializing in advising European and US companies on developing their operations on either side of the Atlantic, also says that Obama has a "high need for fantastic relations with the UK for military and economic purposes."
She adds, however: "In terms of BP, the issue for the UK is that if British Airways and BAE systems and all of the big investors from this country are tainted by BP's problems, and if there is potential for the country brand to start to decline in value, then that is the bigger worry. In a way – if people start to think ... 'it's British, it's not very good.' "
Americans want confidence, not self-deprecation
From a damage control point of view, the situation hasn't been helped by Tony Hayward apparently not being aware of how Americans receive messages, says Ms. Stewart-Allen, a Californian who also holds a British passport.
"Self-deprecation is something Americans do not do, and for Tony Haywood to say 'I want my life back' and to say 'we don't have all the tools in the tool box' is absolutely the wrong thing to say," she adds.
"Americans want confidence, we want assurance and we want to know that this guy, leading a multibillion dollar company, himself on a five million dollar plus salary knows what he is doing, and saying 'we don't have all the tools in our tool box', or something close to that, does not inspire confidence."
"The other thing about the way Tony Haywood is being received - as a kind of stand-offish, unemotional, fairly stoic Brit – is that here in the UK it would be absolutely the right thing for him. There, it is not. We want to see contrition, we want to see serious upset, we want to see emotion."
