Upon the roll of representative citizens and prominent and influential agriculturists of Pleasant township, Johnson county, appears the name of the gentleman at the head of this county since his youth and has worked his own way to a position of marked precedence in both business and political affairs, while he is held in unqualified esteem by the people of his community.
William J. Brunnemer, who is living on the old Vanarsdale homestead in Pleasant township, Johnson county, Indiana, where he operates successfully one hundred and thirty-two acres of splendid farming land, was born in the neighborhood where he now lives and is the son of George L. and Nancy C. (Vanarsdale) Brunnemer. The father was born on January 22, 1842, the son of Anthony and Blanche Brunnemer, who were born in Virginia and Tennessee respectively. In 1860, the family came to Indiana, locating about a mile north of Whiteland, Johnson county, where they pursued the vocation of agriculture and where George L. spent the balance of his days, his death occurring there in April, 1909. He was a native of Morgan county, and at the outbreak of the Civil war his patriotism was aroused and he gave his support to the cause of the Union. On February 15, 1865, he enlisted as a private in Company E, One Hundred and Forty-eighth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, in which he was appointed a corporal. He served valiantly during the closing months of the war and on September 5, 1865, received an honorable discharge. The following year he located on his farm in section 29, Pleasant township, to the cultivation of which he devoted his time and energies with considerable success so that at his death he was the owner of three hundred and sixty acres of land. He also gave some attention to the operation of a saw mill which he owned in that neighborhood. He was twice married, first on February 5, 1863, to Sarah E. McClellan, the daughter of Joseph and Margaret (Clem) McClellan, natives of Kentucky, and to this union were born two children: James D., who was born on December 11, 1863, and married Louie A. Sharp, and Sarah E., whose birth occurred on August 12, 1866, and who is now deceased. Mrs. Sarah Brunnemer died on September 5, 1866, and on October 23rd of the following year Mr. Brunnemer was united in marriage to Nancy C. Vanarsdale, a daughter of Cornelius A. B. and Nancy J. (Clem) Vanarsdale, her birth having occurred in Pleasant township, this county, on October 24, 1848. To George L. Brunnemer's last union were born three children: Albert who is represented elsewhere in this work; Ammie J., who was born on December 8, 1871, and became the wife of Hugh Johnson, and William J., the immediate subject of this sketch. Religiously, the subject's parents were ardent and faithful members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
The subject of this sketch was reared on the paternal homestead and received his education in No. 11 school. He remained with his father until twenty years of age, when he moved onto the farm where he now lives, and to which he has since given his indefatigable attention, his industry and perseverance being rewarded with a fair measure of success. He is a good all-around farmer, giving due attention to every detail of his work, and has a splendid residence which he erected in 1908, while the other buildings on the place as well as fences and other details show the owner to be a man of good judgment and sound discrimination.
Mr. Brunnemer has been married twice, first in November, 1894, to Ida Caplinger, the daughter of Robert and Mary (McLain) Caplinger, of Johnson county, though natives of Kentucky. Mrs. Brunnemer died in August, 1900, at the age of thirty-two years, her child having died in infancy. In July, 1901, Mr. Brunnemer married Burdette McLain, the daughter of John A. and Susan (Caplinger) McLain, and to this union were born five children: William Merrill, born August 11, 1902; Winford Harrell, born February 26, 1905; Georgia Catherine, born January, 1908; Christine Frances, born June 6, 1911, and Marion, born May 29, 1913.
Mr. Brunnemer gives his political support to the Republican party, in the success of which he takes an active interest, while his church relations are with the Methodist Episcopal society, to which he gives a liberal support. He has always been regarded as a man of high principles, honest in every respect and broad-minded. A man of broad character, kindness of heart to the unfortunate and ever willing to aid in any way any cause for the betterment of the community and the public with whom he has to deal, he is held in high favor and the utmost respect by all who know him.

Vogue fashion editor Anna Wintour, who insists she is incredibly shy and should be your next Halloween costume, went on a national television show last night to make fun of people who like a good bargain. Hah! Just kidding. She's promoting Fashion Night Out, which is now a worldwide event to lure customers into designer and department stores to pay full price for the chance to hang out with Marc Jacobs in a kilt.

One of my most memorable Mother's Day gifts I've ever received is a picture frame my oldest daughter made me. I still have it sitting on my dresser. It's been there since the day she gave it to me two years ago.
While it's nice to get a piece of jewelry or a bag you've been eyeing for a while, it's even more special to receive something that your little one contributed too. I usually always get my kids involved in making something for my mom for Mother's Day. It's always so nice to hear how excited and genuinely thankful she is when she receives their gifts.
With Mother's Day less than a week away, you still have plenty of time for your little one's to make a very special gift. Whether it's for their grandmother or their own mom, she will sure love the special love that went into making these gifts.
Here are ten of my favorite handmade gifts that are easy for your little ones to help make for mom:
- Baby's Footprint Necklace
- Hand Painted Mother's Day Card with Photo Advertisement
- Picture Flower Bouquet Flower Planter
- Baby Letter Photo that Spells Happy Mother's Day
- Photo Tile Coasters
- Handprint Flower with Photo
- Mother's Day Kisses Jar
- Photo Pendant
- Handprint Charm
- Message in a Jar

New PPP polls in Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, and Ohio find serious backlash against the 5 Senators who voted against background checks in those states. Each of them has seen their approval numbers decline, and voters say they're less likely to support them the next time they're up for reelection. That's no surprise given that we continue to find overwhelming, bipartisan support for background checks in these states.
Here's the state by state rundown:
-After just 3 months in office Jeff Flake has already become one of the most unpopular Senators in the country. Just 32% of voters approve of him to 51% who disapprove and that -19 net approval rating makes him the most unpopular sitting Senator we've polled on, taking that label from Mitch McConnell.
70% of Arizona voters support background checks to only 26% who are opposed to them. That includes 92/6 favor from Democrats, 71/24 from independents, and 50/44 from Republicans. 52% of voters say they're less likely to support Flake in a future election because of this vote, compared to only 19% who say they're more likely to. Additionally voters say by a 21 point margin, 45/24, that they trust senior colleague John McCain more than Flake when it comes to gun issues.
-When we polled Alaska in February Lisa Murkowski was one of the most popular Senators in the country with a 54% approval rating and only 33% of voters disapproving of her. She's seen a precipitous decline in the wake of her background checks vote though. Her approval is down a net 16 points from that +21 standing to +5 with 46% of voters approving and 41% now disapproving of her. Murkowski has lost most of her appeal to Democrats in the wake of her vote, with her numbers with them going from 59/25 to 44/44. And the vote hasn't increased her credibility with Republican either- she was at 51/38 with them in February and she's at 50/39 now.
Mark Begich is down following his no vote as well. He was at 49/39 in February and now he's at 41/37. His popularity has declined with Democrats (from 76/17 to 59/24) and with independents (from 54/32 to 43/35), and there has been no corresponding improvement with Republicans. He had a 24% approval rating with them two months ago and he has a 24% approval rating with them now.
60% of Alaska voters support background checks to just 35% opposed, including a 62/33 spread with independents. 39% of voters say they're less likely to vote for each of Begich and Murkowski in their next elections based on this vote, while only 22% and 26% say they're more likely to vote for Begich and Murkowski respectively because of this.

Pleasantly surprised
Although the room was small, for the price I was paying it was expected but the room had been refurbished and was cozy yet modern.
It was quiet and the bed is very comfortable and I will be choosing to stay there again. The staff were also very nice.

Nice hotel with easy access to Underground
After reading some negative comments on room size I opted for a slightly more expensive Club room.
Room was excellent with all the usual facilities plus complimentary fruit etc. Only down side on arrival was a key card issue. Having been down a first time and it still not working a maid let me in my room and said they would get someone up to fix it. After 5 minutes a couple of guys turned up and it was fixed quickly so full marks for the maintenance guys. Great location for Earls Court Tube Station making easy access around London and street quiet enough at night. Would definitely use again.

Excellent value for money in a good position. Wonderful staff.
The hotel is only a couple of minutes from Earl's Court tube station yet quite quiet.
We were upgraded to a bigger room which had one of the most comfortable beds in any hotel. Every member of staff was friendly and helpful. I wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely use it again when we need a room in London.

Chelsea Flower show trip
I used Tripadvisor when choosing this hotel.
The generalised comments from previous guests were validated during our stay- the staff were very helpful and polite, the room was clean, tidy and well appointed (microwave). As highlighted the room was slightly on the small side. The hotel location was great - a very pleasant walk through Kennsington and along the Thames Embankment to the Chelsea hospital.

For the price that I paid for the room, I do not believe this was value for money.
Receptionists were helpful, however my big problem was the room. The room given to me was situated in the ground floor, upon arrival I noticed the room was incredibly small. Upon closer inspection only one person could open the wardrobe at a time, the windows were extremely filthy, with pigeon poo on the outside of the windows, black dirt and grime across the window sill (looking like it hasn't been cleaned in a while). Sleeping wasn't enjoyable as the Pigeons were purring all night, the smell in our room was awful, heating did not work, lack of ventilation (Being in the lower ground floor contributed to that)
For the price that I paid I expected a better quality room, the lobby floor was dirty, as well as the surrounding fixtures in the passage was in need of an upgrade. In as much as it was a one night stay, I expected a much better service for the price that I paid (£84 in total)

Lifestyle Stories
Our old pet friends deserve special treatment
If you've cared for an elderly dog or cat, you know it's a bittersweet labor of love. It seems unfair that pets, one of life's greatest gifts to people, are with us for only a small fraction of our lifetime. We all get the short end of the stick on that deal. Your pet's senior status can sneak up on you. One day you're watching that energetic puppy or kitten romp and play and, before you know it, several years have passed and your childlike friend begins to slow down. When your pet reaches senior status, take this golden opportunity to give it the best years of its life. Remember, it devoted its life to being your most loyal, trusted companion."Generally speaking, dogs and cats attain senior status at about age 7," says veterinarian James D. Lutz of Largo Veterinary Hospital. "Weight, lifestyle and size of your pet are all factors that can speed or slow down the aging process." Rely on your own observation and the advice of your veterinarian to help you identify when your pet has begun maturing so that you can start to meet its special needs. Senior wellness checkups may be the most important thing you can do for your aging friend. The American Animal Hospital Association recommends healthy senior dogs and cats visit the veterinarian every six months for a complete exam and lab work. "As your pet gets older, we're a lot more interested in checking for possible metabolic diseases such as diabetes and thyroid," Lutz says. "And checking early for clues to cancer is very important." When your pet is healthy, lab tests provide baseline values that can help the vet figure out what's wrong when your pet is sick. And subtle changes in test results, even in the outwardly healthy animal, may signal the presence of an underlying disease. Dogs and cats should get lab work every year at middle age. During the senior years, healthy animals need a complete blood count, urinalysis, blood chemistry panel and parasite evaluation every six months. Watch for changes Older pets are slower pets. You may find yours reacts more slowly to sights and sounds. This loss of sensory perception is a slow, progressive process. The best remedy is to keep your pet's body and mind active. Use playtime, exercise and training at a slower pace than usual. Pets still need quality time in terms of attention and exercise, but will likely prefer quiet walks and long naps to active play. "Keep an eye on your pet's gait and posture to identify potential orthopedic problems," suggests Lutz. "And watch for mentation changes (mental awareness) and alterations in activity." Remember, dietary needs change, too. Talk to your veterinarian about lower-calorie formulas with antioxidants and vitamin supplements. It's critical to avoid obesity, which can speed up aging, so no more rich foods and table scraps! Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine, diagnostics and diet, our pets can live longer, healthier lives. But since they can't tell us how they're feeling, it's important that you, as a pet parent, take a proactive approach to their health, particularly as they age. One day you'll come face to face with a pair of wise, knowing eyes with a gray muzzle or whiskers. When the day comes, take the opportunity to repay them with love, understanding and the best health care you can provide. Adopt a senior pet November is celebrated by animal shelters nationwide as Adopt a Senior Dog Month. In the sunset of 2009, it's a great time to promote the benefits of an older pet in the sunset season of their lives. Senior pets easily bond with new people, often have excellent manners, are housebroken and know the basic rules of the house. Size, temperament and personality are already established. You also may have advance knowledge of any behavior or health issues. Senior pets need less supervision. They understand human behavior and probably know what is expected of them in the home. Physical demands are low. Given the slower pace of most pets in their golden years, a senior person might be the best match. The calm, quiet demeanor and light exercise needs of an older pet may fit a mature person's lifestyle perfectly. Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.

Concerns about changes to Bury police's top brass have been raised by councillors.
A shake-up at Greater Manchester Police (GMP) means that Tim Forber, Bury's chief superintendent, will move to a new post, and his role will be taken over by Rochdale police boss Annette Anderson, who will take charge of Bury and Rochdale from March 3.
Cllr David Jones, who represents Unsworth, asked at last week's full council meeting whether "Bury's voice at GMP's top table has now been diluted at a time when we need to protect our resources?"
Council leader Mike Connolly responded: "We are advised by our colleagues in GMP that this is an interim position which will remain in place while a full review of the current structure of GMP is undertaken.
"We have sought assurances from GMP that they remain committed to a neighbourhood policing structure in Bury and that they will continue to provide repres-entation and input into Bury's key strategic partnerships and priorities."
Cllr Connolly paid tribute to the work of Chief Supt Forber, as well as Superintendent Mark Granby, who will also be leaving Bury.
He said: "Mr Forber made a huge impact in the short time he was here, and I would like to praise him for that. Mark Granby has done an enormous amount in terms of partnership work."
Similar pairing arrangements are set to be introduced with Bolton and Wigan, Salford and Trafford, as well as Oldham and Tameside, and the changes will save GMP up to £250,000 a year.
Chief Supt Forber, who arrived at Bury in July, will work with three other divisional chief superintendents to devise a new forcewide policing structure.
The interim structure will be in place for a period of at least six months.
GMP Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy previously said: "I am confident that the changes will not impact on the way we work with the council on reducing crime in Bury."

London - Rihanna thinks Karrueche Tran is no threat to her relationship with Chris Brown.
Although Chris has been spending time with his model ex-girlfriend recently, the 'Diamonds' singer isn't worried as she reportedly thinks Karrueche isn't in her league.
A friend of Rihanna's told HollywoodLife.com: ""Rihanna is not stupid and she know his little side piece is there but she ain't tripping on the small stuff and trust, it's really small. Ri don't even pay attention to that because there's no point.
"She would never give time or spend a second thinking about another girl that's not even in her same league. Come on now, there's really just no comparison and she could care less because she and Chris know what time it is!"
Chris - who he is still on supervised probation for assaulting Rihanna in 2009 - has been inseparable from the 24-year-old singer recently, with Rihanna even flying out to Europe to spend time with him on his 'Carpe Diem' tour and the pair regularly post intimate snapshots of each other on Twitter.
The singer dumped Karrueche in September to concentrate on his friendship with Rihanna and reportedly gave her a generous payout following their split. - Bang Showbiz

Most of the criticism of the Obama administration's foreign policy concerns the failure of "reset diplomacy," the inability to deal with Iran or North Korea, or the sense that we are ignoring allies and appeasing enemies.
All true. But under the radar, there are several developments that are far more disturbing than we seem to realize.

text: The Texans have clinched at least the #4 pick with the Giants victory over the Raiders. The Giants victory mathematically eliminates San Francisco's ability to get in front of the Texans. San Fran's minimum number is now 137. Houston's maximum is 138, however in order to get there, St. Louis and Seattle would have to win, which would raise the 49ers minimum to 140. If just St. Louis won, the 49ers would have a min of 138, but the Texans would have a max of 137. San Diego's loss hurts without doing official damage. By losing, they put the playoff burden back on Pittsburgh - and we REALLY could use a Lions over Steelers victory.

For more than a year, nearly all cars and trucks slowed to a creep when they drove by Hemet High following the horrific May 30, 2012 crash that injured eight students in a crosswalk.
The slow driving on Stetson Avenue no longer is as prevalent. While many vehicles still admirably slow down in the school zone, I see too many people drive fast. They pass vehicles in a right-turn-only lane or weave through traffic. They must have forgotten that awful afternoon.
I've been ticked for several months while watching people speed by the school.
Wednesday, I did something foolish. I scolded a middle-aged man who passed cars quickly by driving along their right sides curb in front of the school. He forced his way across traffic to a left-turn a lane and stopped at a red light.
I pulled up alongside him and sternly told him that he had just sped and weaved through the school-zone scene of an awful accident. I explained that driving slowly by the school was an admirable response by the community to the crash and a sign of respect to the injured students.
I was, of course, stupid to challenge a rude driver. He obviously was a jerk.
Who knows? He could have been violent. He could have carried a gun.
Instead of shooting, the driver mocked me. He extending his hand toward me and rapidly snapped his fingers, apparently signaling that what I was saying was babble. The light changed and he sped off.
The Hemet High campus is on the south side of Stetson Avenue in East Hemet. The school's athletic stadium and student parking lot is on the north side of the busy street.
Extreme measures were taken to make crossing the street safe. A median with a tall steel fence divides most of Stetson Avenue in front of the school. It blocks students from making dangerous crossings. There are traffic signal-controlled crosswalks at both ends of the block. A third crosswalk with a traffic light passes through an opening of the median in the middle of the block, which was where the students were run over.
On that horrible afternoon two years ago, about 30 students were in the mid-block crosswalk after school when a student-driven truck was unable to stop because of faulty brakes, a California Highway Patrol investigation determined. The truck plowed through the students. It was a frantic scene. Shocked onlookers rushed to help. Ambulances arrived to transport the injured to hospitals.
Thankfully, and amazingly, no one died.
Following the accident, I was glad to see drivers make an extra effort to slow when passing through the school zone. For awhile, driving by Hemet High was similar to passing through Highway 395 speed-trap towns such as Lone Pine, Independence and Bishop on the east side of the High Sierra.
No more. Many cars impressively still drive slowly by the school. Many others pass by the campus driving much too fast.
I wish they would remember May 30, 2012 when they pass Hemet High and, for that matter, any school anywhere.
That horrible crash never should be forgotten.

2 Eureka women die in three-vehicle crash
IPSWICH (AP) — Two women from Eureka have been killed in a three-vehicle crash in north-central South Dakota.
The Highway Patrol says 78-year-old Lavinena E. Guthmiller was driving west on U.S. Highway 12 about six miles east of Ipswich on Friday afternoon when her vehicle slid on an icy patch of road and collided with an eastbound semitrailer hauling baled hay. Guthmiller died at the scene. A passenger in the car, 76-year-old Evelyn Katharina Scheuffele, also died in the crash.
The driver of the truck, 19-year-old Stephen Donald Simon, of Groton, suffered minor injuries.
The truck also collided with a car driven by 29-year-old Hedi Noel Schauer, of Ashley, N.D. Shauer and a child in her car were not injured.

Virginia attorney general recounts continue
(WJLA) - Election Day came and went with no clear winner in Virginia's attorney general race. With nearly all precincts reporting unofficial returns, the contest between two state senators - Republican Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg and Democrat Mark Herring of Loudoun County - was too close to call.
Recounts continued Saturday with Obershain still in the lead. He gained 2039 votes, while Herring gained 2070.
"Since the polls closed we have continued to gain votes to the point where, according to counts, only a few votes separate myself and my opponent," Herring said early Wednesday. "We want to make sure all precincts are accounted for and results are accurate, all absentee ballots are counted and every Virginian who cast a provisional ballot has their voice heard."
Herring told reporters earlier at the Democrats' election night party that the contest would go to a state-funded recount because the margin was so narrow. The state pays for a recount if the margin is within one-half of a percentage point. If it's more than that but less than 1 percentage point, a candidate can demand a recount at his or her own expense.
Herring and Obenshain are seeking to succeed Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who chose to run for governor rather than seek re-election.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

have claimed a product, if his description of his invention be true. He says: "Other coloringmatter can be made by similar reactions. The product, as well as the method of producing the same, constitutes a part of the invention, which comprises, therefore, the preparation and the coloring matters above mentioned;" but, when he comes to his claim, he limits his invention to the method by which the coloring matters are to be produced, namely, "by the action of nitroso derivatives," etc. Disconnected from· what precedes it, there is no hint in the claim that the "violet coloring matters" are a new production, which has been invented or discovered by the patentee; and from this omission to claim the product, as well as the method of making it, the inference is reasonable that he would be satisfied with a patent for the process. Other portions of the specifications may, as was said in White v. Dunbar, be resorted to, "for the purpose of better understanding the meaning of the claim; . but not for the purpose of changing it and making it different from what it is." The words "manufacture" and "production," as used in the claim, are not the names of things but of acts. The claim indicates the mode and manner of doing certain things, or of making certain com· binations, in order to produce certain results, and is for the improved process of obtaining those results, i. e. in manufacturing and producing them. It is not stated that violet coloring matters have never been produced, or that they could not be produced by other processes than those described in the claim. The claim is for "the improvement in the manufacture of coloring matters," and describes the improvement as "consisting in the produc· tion of coloring matters by the action of nitroso derivatives," etc. The improvement, that is, the process, is claimed as new, but not the product. The contention that, in the Koechlin patent, the product inheres in the process, and that, therefore, the claim of the one necessarily includes the other, cannot be sustained on principle or authority. The claim is single, and is either for a process or a product; otherwise, if the claim is divisible, one part being for a process, and another part for a product, it would be a double claim, and as such in danger of being held void for ambiguity. The applicant for a patent may separately claim both a process and a product, but cannot properly claim them in one claim. They are the proper subjects of separate and distinct claims. Merrill v. Yeomans, 1 Ban. & A. 55, Fed. Cas. No. 9,472; Goodyear v. Rubber Co., 2 Cliff. 371, Fed. Cas. No. 5,583. The decree of the circuit court is affirmed.

Wheeler, District Judge,Thlll suit Is brought upon letters patent No. 466,940, dated-January 12, 1892, lUld granted to the orators Henry A. Fowler and, John' J!r, as. inventors,: to the o,rator Samuel Fowler, as assignee, for an Improvement in curtain rods, to be held between opposing sides of casings by 'the frtction of the ends made to press against the casings by springs. The infringement alleged Is of the first claim,Which is for: "(1) In a curtain rod, the combination, with It rod of a tUbe hll,ving one end inclosing and slid" ing on said rod, and having Its opposite endreduced in diamete,r,a spring in10ngitudin81 movement by. said reduced closed In. Sllid tube, and end of the tube, and a shell or tip carried by the reduced end of the tube, and adapted to bear against the window casing, substantially as described." The defenses are want of novelty; that the two orators were not inventors, and one JohnH. Bennett was,the inventor, of this improvement; and that defen4ant does not infringe. The defendant has pleaued, PlJ,t in evidence, and lelied upon various structures; brackets, rods, and fixtures made before, and patents for such things Issued before, the date of this invention; but none of these things shOW a curtain rod or analogous strJlcture held In place by the mere pressure of springs outwardly from the ends of t1).e rods against opposite parallel casings; and although,hi some or all of them, each of all the parts of the combination of this claim is found, in none of them are all of· these parts in the same combination found,and neither any nor llIl of them appear to anticipate this claim. The orators Fowler and Lingley, and one Carroll W. Dodge, as jo'nt inventors, on July 12, 1889, made an application for a patent for a curtain rod. which contained this claim: In a curtain rod, the combination of a rod or bar upon· which the curtain Is supported, a fiarlng shell forming a tip, a tubular sleeve, with one end of said sleeve inclosing the smaller end of said shell or tip, and forming a tight tit, whereby said shell and tube form practically a single piece, the opposite end of said tube being reduced in thickness, and inclosing and sliding upon the rod, so the curtain held upon said rod wlll slide freely over the tube, a shank preferably formed' integrally with said shell or tip, and concentric with the tube, and a spiral sllring held OIl said shank With' its bore slightly less than the, diameter of the shank, and with its end bearing against the InClOSed end of the rod, substantially as descrlbed,"-on which a patent was granted February 16, 1892, after the p3.tent in SUit, and Is owned by the orators. The specification stated that the tipscould be made of solid pieces of metal, and. the elastic blocks attached thereto, but that they considered it ,better to construct them, as represented In the drawings, of sbeet metal, liItalllped into the delilred form, with !:he rubber blocks
inserted in the open ends. The constrnction of stamped tips to go Into the end of the tube, and support the ends of the spring,was not practicaNe. and solid tips were too heavy and expensive. These difficulties appear to have been stated by Fowler and Lingley to Bennett, who was a manufactur('r of the articles for the owners of the patent, and the tip was made to go over end of the tube, so it could be stamped out of sheet metal, and the outer end of the tUbe was reduced in diameter to hold the spring. Bennett appears to have made useful suggestions about these changes to overcome the difficulties. but he did not apply for a patent, nor claim the invention against them, and seems to have done what he did as an artisan, rather than as an inventor; and the presumption that l!'owler and Lingley were the inventors of this improvement, arising from the grant of the patent to them and their assignee. Is not overcome by the proof of what he did about It. It Is argued th:1t som?how the pendency of the application of Fowler, Lingley, and Dodge deprived Fowler and Lingley of the right to claim the Improvements of this patent against Bennett, or account for his failure to apply for a patent for these 1m· provements himself. But they owed him no duty, and he had no rights in the matter unless he was an inventor. Whether he was or not has be2n eonsidered In view of all the circumstances. The patent in suit was expres,ly made subject to the prior application of Fowler, Lingley, and Dodge, then pending, and, of course, covers only improvements upon the invention described in It. For such improvements the patent seems to be valid. The defendant has proceeded somewhat upon the claim of Bennett that he, :and not Fowler and Lingley, was the inventor of this improvempnt, which, a" now considered, falls. Besides this, the defendant has changed the form of the tube by turning In the outer end to keep the spring from being forced through it, illstead of reducing its diameter by a taper, and bent (Jut the end of the wire of the spring, or crooked the spring itself, to engage with the tube, and keep the spring from falling out in putting up or taking down the strncture. The tube reduced, In dIameter of this claim of the patent is said in argument to be a tube reduced in every diameter producing a true taper, which wlll, by its reduction In that manner, hold the spring from longitudinal movement, from which the tube and spring of the defendant so differ as not to infringe. This claim originally was for: "(1) In a curtain rod, the combination -of a sliding tube, having its outer end reduced in diameter, as described, a spring with its outer diameter less than the internal diameter of said tube, but slightly greater than the Internal diameter of the reduced section of said tube,by which said spring is held within said tube, substantially as described." This claim was rejected as Incomplete, with a suggestion that it be amended to include the rod, tubes, spring. and caps. The specification was thereupon amended by inserting: ·".rhe ends of the tubes are sufficiently contracted in diameter to prevent the end of the rod from being pushed through the end of the tube, and crowding the disks out of the tip as the spring is being compressed by the sliding motion of the tube on the rod, In the (Jyera· tion of applying the curtain rod to the window casing. The compression of the tube is thus made to serve a double purpose,-in holding the spring from falllng out of the tube when the tUbe is removed from the rod, and also in preventing the end of the spring from being pushed through the end of the tube and against the disk as the spring Is compressed against the end of th,' rod. This latter purpose can obviously be secured by turning over the end of the tube, thereby contracting the opening, and forming an internal flange, by which the end of the spring will be held from contact with the disk, or the end of the tube which Is held in the tip can be indented, so as to reduce its internal diameter, and hold the outer end of the spring from 10ngitudiullI movement while it is being compressed." And the claim was made to be as it now is. The claim Is to be read with reference to the specification. When so read, the description of a tube as reduced In diameter, holding an inclosed spring from longitudinal movement by its reduced end, will as well, although not se> aptly, include the tube of this amendment as that of the other form. If thifl were not so, the changes of form of the end of the tube and of the mode of engaging the spring in the defendant's structure do not alter thelt' mode of ..>peration, and seem to be immaterial. They do the same thing, In substan·

Arthur v. Briesen, for appellant. StewartChapiin (D. H. Driscoll, on brief), for appellees. Before 'WALLAOE, LACOMBE and SHIPMAN, Circuit Judges. SHIPMAN, Circuit Judge. appeal calls in question the correctness of a decree of· the circuit court for the southern district of New York, which sustained the validity of letters patent NOJ 466,940, dated January 12, 1892, and issued to the complainants FOWler and Lingley inventors, and to the complainant Samuel Fowle.r as assignee, for an improvement in curtain rods, and which alElOadjudged that the defendant had infringed the, first claim of thE! patent. On July 12, 1889"the inventors, Fowler and LingleY, and Oarroll W. Dodge, applied for letters patent foJ,' an Improved curU;rln rod, which, nUplbered 468,987, w,as issued on February 16, 1892. This patentis'for atube sliding, telescopically over the end ofa Curtain rod, the tube carrying atone end a tip' or head to recei:ve ,an, .' elastic disk' which 'beal's' against the' window casing, and having a spring illclosed within thetube, one end of the spring bearing against the end of the'rod. The tension of the spring forces the tube away from the end of the rod, and thus enables the elastic' disk ,to be held firmly against tIle casing. Previous devices, of this sort were either, fastened to the woodwork, or the ends of the rod were made to press against the casing by a screw thread. The novelty of the invention c6nsisted in holding the rod in place solely by the outward push of a spring. The patentees began tonlanufacturecurtain-rod tips of this sort in June, 1889, and ceased the manufacture during the next month. The device was defective· because the pressure of the spring was exerted directlyagainst the helld, and pushed it out of, the tube, unless it was solid and soldered into the tube,-a construction which made the manufacture too expensive. Fowler and, Lingley, the two inventors named in the patent in snit, thereupon sought for, and invented, an: 'impr0V'em¢nt which should obviate the defect, and ap1890, for a patent therefor, which, was issued as plied, on No. 466,940, and was, by its terms, made subordinate to the Fowler, Lingley, and Dodge application then pending in the patent office. As the dl:!ci$ion of the case depends entirelyu'pon the construction to be.,giyen. to the first claim, and as the const,ruction depends of the claim in connection with the specifiupon an cation, andlwiththe history of the application in its progress through the patent office, it is, important to quote the specification with The material portion iii as follows:
"B is a rod' torming the central section of our improved rod, and can be of metal or other material, as wood, or of wood covered with metal, or It can consist of a piece of tubing. Upon each end of the central rod, B, we place the telescopic 'sliding tubes, C, C, with their Inner· ...nds ground or turned down to an edge In order to aUowtlle rings or the hem of a curtain to slide freely
over them. The outer ends of the sliding tubes, C, C,· are compressed or reduced in diameter by compression or upsetting. On the reduced outer ends of the sliding tubes, C, C, are placed the tips, D, D, which are either tubular in form, as represented in Fig. 4, or flaring or bell-mouthed, as represented in Fig. 3, the special form of the tip itself being Immaterial. Within the tip, D, and resting upon the ends of the sliding tubes, C, are the dis1l::s, E, and upon the disks, E, are placed the rubber disks, F, F. Springs; G, G, are inclosed within the sliding tubes, C, tJJ.e outer diameter of the springs being larger than the internal diameter of the sliding tubes, C, at their reduced ends, C', C' . The springs are large enough to require considerable pressure to cause them to enter the ends, C' , C', and they are held in place by the pressure of the springs against the inner surface of the sliding sleeves at their reduced ends, C' , C' , and kept from falling out of the tubes when they are removed from the ends of the rod, B. The. opposite ends of the springs, G, G, rest against the ends of the rods, B, and as the entire length of the curtain rod, witQ. the ends as applied, .Is longer than the space between the sides of the casing, so that, when it Is applied to the casing, the springs, G, G, are compressed, their tension exerts a pressure against the sides of the casing, which serves to hold the rod firmly in position. (The ends, C' , C' , are sufllciently contracted in diameter to prevent the spring, G, from being pushed through the end of the tube, C, and crowding the disks, E and F, out of the tip, D, as the spring, G, is being compressed by the sliding motion of the tube, C, on the rod, B, in the operation of applying the curtain rod to the window casing. The compression of the tube, C, Is thus made to serve a double purpose,-in holding the spring, G, from falling out of the tube, C, when the tube is removed from the rod, B, and also In preventing the end of the spring from beIng pUshed through the end of the tube, and against the disk, E, as the spring Is compressed against the end of the rod, B. This latter purpose can obviously be secured by turning over the end of the tube, C, thereby contracting the opening, and forming an internal flange, by which the end of the spring will be held from contact with the disk, E, or the end· of the tube, C, which Is held in the tip, D, can be Indented so as to reduce its internal diameter, and hold the outer end of the spring from longtitudinal movement when it is being compressed.)"
The part of the specification inclosed in parentheses was introduced by amendment. The first claim is as follows:
"(1) In a curtain rod, the combination, with a rod, B, of a tube, C, having one end inclosing and sliding on said rod, and having Its opposite end reduced In diameter, a spring inclosed in said tube, and held from longitudinal movement by said reduced end of the tube, and a shell or tip carried by the reduced end of the tube, and adapted to bear against the window casing, substantially as described."
The invention consisted in reducing in diameter the outer ends of the sliding tubes, whereby they received the force of the outward thrust of the springs, which were thus prevented from being pushed through the ends of the tube, and, as the tips no longer needed solidity to withstand the pressure of the springs, they were 1'1aced over the reduced outer ends of the tubes. The compression of the tube, in addition to its preventing the end of the spring from being pushed through the end of the tube, also kept the spring in position by friction, and thus prevented it from falling out when the tube was removed from the rod. In order to accomplish the first and main object of the improvement, the specification states three ways in which the ends can be reduced in diameter: First, by compressing them; secondly, by turning over the end, thereby forming an internal flange which will hold the end of the spring

A further distinction is said to exist the two structures, in ;that whereas, in .the complainantlfpatent,the reduced outer ends of the tubes form a neck or seat the tip, in the construction of the defendant's articles the 'tlpgQe$ overih,e! reduced end" and is forced upon that portion of tAeexteriorof the outer end of the tube whicbris not reduced . in diameter;: Tlle #teIIttltto avoid infringement rests mainly, if not entirely, upon such a cOnstruction of the llrstclaimas to limit it to one mode of reducing the end of the tube, viz. by compression, and to exclude the modes named in the amended specillcation,-Hby turning over. the end of the tube,"orby indentation. The theoryof the defendant is that ijle clabn, as finally allowed by the patent office, was so reduced in scope as to limit it to that feature of construction which, would the spring from longitudinalmovement in either direction. "The original application contained three claims which were properly rejected as "incomplete and vague." The amendment in· cluded in parentheses was then made, and three new claims were written,thefft'rst of which is as follows:
"In acUJ.'tal,nrod, the combination with a rod,B, of a sliding tube, C, having its outerenQ;reduced to hold !J.n Inclosed spring from longitudinal a spring in li!aid sliding tube, and a tip carried by said sliding tube, a.nd adapted to bear against the window casing, sUbstantially as described."
The second' ,and third clnims referred to particular features of the device,and are not important in this case. The first and second claims were rejected H .the patent to La Dow, in connection with on patent of raeord." The patent to Charles La Dowdated April22i ,1884-wllsfor a suspensory rod, which consisted of a rod provided at one end with a socket button, and at the opposite end with a· nut upon the screw-tbreaded end of the rod. TMfrictional contactwith the opposing surfaces of the win· dow casings was e1fectedby the rotation· of the screw-threaded rod. The patent to JamesB.

the roller is held against the bearing, which is attached to the casing, and by which the roller'is supported,by the tension of a spiral spring, and thu,s the roller is prevented from. detached from its bearings. The roller 'is not held between the two casings by frictional contact. These two references seem to have little connection with the invention of the patent. But the real imperfection of the claim was that it did not clearly and with precision express how the various parts co-operated with each other. Thus, by "a sliding tube reduced to hold an inclosed spring from longitudinal move· ment," the draughtsman obviously meant that the reduced end was the 'means which held· the spring from longitudinal movement; but the operative character of the combination was much better expressed by the langUage subsequently The defendant insists that the language of the claim, as finally amended, which was that the spring was held from longitudinal movement by the reduced end of the tube, requires that the reduced tube should prevent the spring from moving longitudinally in either direction, and that such requirement compels the reduction to take place by compression. If this construction was necessary, in view of the state of the art, or of the limitations in the specification, or of the requirements of the patent office, it would merit favor; but it is not required by either of those considerations. The specification was coextensive with the actual invention, and described three ways in which the spring could be prevented from being pushed through the end of the tube,-by compression, or by forming an internal flange, or by indenting the end so as to hold the outer end of the spring Irom longitudinal movement. The claim requires the end to be reduced in diameter, and specifies that the spring was to be held from longitudinal movement by the reduced end, the specification having particularly described three ways in which the end of the spring could be thus held. The claim does not limit the invention to such means of reducing the internal diameter as shall entirely prevent the spring from movement. The defendant took one of the methods of construction described in the specification, and included in the claim. It is not of importance that it did not take the best method which waS' so described. The defendant's remaining answer to the charge of infringement! is that, by a proper construction of the claim, the reduced end is to form the entire seat for the neck of the tip, whereas. in the defendant's device, the tip is said to be carried or have its seat by that portion of the end of the tube back of the reduced podion, which is of full diameter. The point seems too wire-drawn to require discussion. The specification said that "on the reduced outer ends of the sliding tube, 0, 0, are placed the tips, D, D." This part of the patented invention consisted in the fact that the reduced end of the sliding tube received or carried, or upon it was placed, the neck of the tip. The decree of the circuit court is affirmed, with costs.

DALLAS, Circuit Judge. suit is brought by Marshall S. Shapleigh upon letters:patent No. 433,187, dated July 29, 1890, granted to him for a "safety cut-off." The claims which he alleges the defendants have infringed areas follows:
"(1)' 'rhe combination of& pair of spring clamps; a fuse placed between the jaWl:\< of said clamps .and automaUcally clamped thereby, and terminals providedwitQ lateral suPPOrts operating to compress the jawl'l of said clamps externallY,sub,smntially as described. .

Safety cnt·o:lts were new with this inventor. Before the pat· ent in suit was applied for, they were well known, and, as in the complainant's device, their principal constituent was a strip of metal more fusible than. the conducting wire employed throughout the system generally. These more fusible pieces are themselves without fusing, the current intended to be capable ot transmitted, and, being interposed as a part of the continuous conductor! they simply form, so long as the normal current is not exceeded, a small section of any circuit to which they are applied; but if and when, from any cause, the ordinary current is materially

A close-minded new member of the International Oversight Advisory, Mr. Coolidge, orders all alien members of the Stargate Program to report to Earth for individual interviews. Fearing that Ronon - who lacks Teyla's diplomatic skills - might tear Coolidge's head off, Carter invites her old SG-1 teammate, Teal'c, to visit Atlantis and offer Ronon some warrior-to-warrior tips on how to cope with obnoxious Earth bureaucrats.
Ronon - confident that he can stay cool, and insulted that anyone would think otherwise - brushes Teal'c off. One epic sparring match later, nothing has changed. With Ronon still disdaining Teal'c's help, the two men depart for Earth via the intergalactic 'gate bridge.
Drs. Lee and Kavanagh greet the duo at the Midway station, halfway between the Pegasus and Milky Way galaxies, where all travelers must endure a 24-hour quarantine. Then the 'gate activates and a troop of Wraith invade the station.
As Wraith warriors fight Ronon and Teal'c, the Wraith commander and a Wraith scientist seize Midway's control room. The scientist dials Earth and sends a mysterious device through the 'gate to Stargate Command. When a horde of Wraith attackers follows the device through the 'gate to Earth, Ronon and Teal'c finally find themselves in total agreement. As one, they race through the stargate, pursuing the Wraith.
All of Stargate Command's personnel have been knocked unconscious by the Wraith device. Alone, Ronon and Teal'c battle the invaders, corridor by corridor. In one room, they find Coolidge, groggy but reviving. Refusing to trust Teal'c and Ronon to defeat the Wraith, the bureaucrat calls in a nuclear strike on the base to end the incursion, then makes a cowardly retreat to an escape hatch. If Stargate Command and its unconscious personnel are to be saved, it's up to the two alien warriors to do it.
Back in Atlantis, McKay and Carter discover that Midway is under attack. With a team of Marines, Sheppard and McKay 'gate to the station and battle the remaining Wraith. They retake the control room, where McKay and his fellow scientists struggle to regain access to the station's computers.
Wraith reinforcements arrive, pitting Sheppard and the Marines against an overwhelming onslaught. Soon, Sheppard is the only human left alive outside the control room. Then Kavanagh, working at McKay's side, triggers a Wraith booby-trap that activates the station's self-destruct mechanism.
With nothing left to lose, Sheppard orders McKay to vent the atmosphere from the entire station except the control room. The Wraith collapse, dying of asphyxiation - and Sheppard perishes along with them.
The battle is over, but with Sheppard presumed dead, the self-destruct counting down and an attack on Earth underway, McKay feels anything but victorious.

I was curious to know if anyone has heard if a review is in the works for these components in a future issue? I have been eyeballing the Perfectwave Transport for quite sometime now but have been hesitant to pull the trigger without some hard evidence of it's worthiness. Personally I would like to see a review of both components tested as individuals (ie.. Non PS Audio DAC with Perfectwave Transport & Non PS Audio Transport using Perfectwave DAC).
I think a full flogging of both components on the test bench is needed and wanted by many readers.
Since my main interest is in the Perfectwave Transport I'll throw this question out there as well. Does anyone know of another Transport on the market for the same price range having as much potential (especially from a reduced jitter standpoint)? I am using a Bel Canto DAC3 with plans on utilizing it's AES/EBU Input in the future.
Thanks for listening

TARPON SPRINGS — Anita de Palma is known best as a Hispanic activist. But in her heyday, de Palma's flamboyant nightclub act reportedly made Carmen Miranda seem tame.
Now, de Palma, a Clearwater resident since the 1990s, is running for Congress and she hasn't lost her flair for the dramatic.
When asked why three creditors say she owes a total of $20,000, the diminutive 73-year-old had an excuse.
The debts weren't hers, de Palma said. She was just buying time to investigate.
"I lost some credit cards, which I didn't take the trouble to report," she said Thursday at her Tarpon Springs campaign headquarters. "And some things were charged against it and, of course, I refused to pay."
• • •
De Palma, a Democratic contender for the 9th Congressional district, will face Sixth Judicial Circuit assistant public defender, Phil Hindahl, 47, of Lutz in the August primary. The district includes parts of Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties.
De Palma, who lost the primary for the same office two years ago, says she's running because she's unimpressed with Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis.
"He's still ineffectual," she said "I just think we deserve more leadership for Florida, for our area."
Her interest in politics bloomed as a young woman, volunteering for John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign. But her career and her travels distanced her from politics for years.
She began her musical career as a pianist. She went on to perform in theater and nightclubs around the world.
Her act, which featured Mexican tunes, made Carmen Miranda "resemble the grandame in a retirement village," according to a 1968 Milwaukee Journal review.
The 5-foot-1 singer opened her show by whipping off her red cape and staging a faux bullfight with one of the male customers.
For decades, she worked as a performer and then as booker at the Mount Airy Lodge in the Poconos, which had several performance spaces.
"The Crystal Room was the big showroom," de Palma said. "That's where I had Paul Anka and all these people."
The Sports Palace was where Julio Iglesias appeared, she said, because "he really was drawing like mad."

Anita de Palma was originally a stage name. Her given name, she says, is Rosario Anamaria Isabel Lourdes Mendez Gregory. She was born and raised in Manhattan. Her father was Mexican. Her mother, who was born in Tampa, had Scottish/English heritage.
She got the name de Palma from her ex-husband Sergio, who she divorced in 1977. She uses both names, Anita de Palma and Rosario Mendez, for financial transactions.
De Palma, whose first language was Spanish, works as a translator. Her father, who was a linguist, insisted her English be perfect, too. She also speaks French, Italian and "a very poor Portuguese."
De Palma, who has also lived in Mexico and Canada, came to Clearwater because her mother wanted to be buried in Tampa with her family. De Palma settled here with her father.
She met the late Gabriel "Gabe" Cazares, Clearwater's former mayor and county commissioner, while volunteering on Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. They forged a close friendship and he introduced her to the League of United Latin American Citizens, one of the largest and oldest Hispanic organizations in the United States.
"He and I were kindred spirits," she said.
Elected in 2003, de Palma served as LULAC's state director for four years, where, among other things, she focused on helping migrant workers and persuading the state's Puerto Rican population to register to vote.

Recently, de Palma has run into trouble with credit card debt. Over the past three years, she has been sued three times as both Anita de Palma and Rosario Mendez for unpaid credit card bills, totaling more than $20,000.
In December 2008, she was ordered to pay Target National Bank nearly $6,000. In April, a Pinellas County judge ordered that 25 percent of her disposable income be garnished until she paid a $7,000-plus judgment against her linked to a US Airways credit account.
And last year, she was sued to collect nearly $8,000 in connection with a Chase card. As of a May 24 court date, she still hasn't paid.
In each suit, she wrote letters, saying she couldn't pay or show up to court because she was traveling to find work or was not "mentally or physically able."
"I am truly sorry that I have not been here to answer you before, but, as you well know, the job market is dismal and at my age not an easy task," she wrote in June 2009.
Thursday, de Palma explained that she was just "playing for time" to find out what was really going on. "I was also investigating them," she said.
In a 2007 handwritten letter to the court, she said she was 80 years old and had a very limited income.
De Palma, who was 70 then, is not sure why she wrote that.
"I don't know," she said, "but I probably wanted to be very dramatic."

Plans for hospitals to publish data on how many staff are on their wards will be a "huge step" forward in preventing another Mid Staffs scandal, the Health Secretary has said.
From April, patients will be able to see the numbers on a safety website and whether they meet recommendations that will be set down in new guidance.
In a raft of new measures, organisations and individual NHS staff will be encouraged to be more open and honest about errors and problems with patient care.
The Government's response to the inquiry into Stafford Hospital stops short of introducing a minimum staff-patient ratio on wards or enshrining this in law.
Organisations including the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) have called for a minimum of one nurse for every eight patients and Australia and parts of the US have a legal staff-to-patient minimum ratio.
Jeremy Hunt said the Government would not introduce a legal minimum because staff requirements were a "different number for different wards".
Getting hospitals to publish monthly data on ward staffing would be a "huge step" forward, he said, adding that some of the problems at Mid Staffs would have come to light with greater transparency.
The inquiry into the scandal at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, where between 400 and 1,200 more patients died than would normally be expected, put forward 290 recommendations on improving care in English hospitals.
Chaired by Robert Francis QC, it identified a culture where patients were not at the heart of the system and said failings went from the top to the bottom of the NHS.
In today's response, the Government accepted 281 out of 290 recommendations, including 57 in principle and 20 in part.
It rejected calls for healthcare assistants to be registered, saying training would be improved.
There will also be no statutory duty of candour on individual NHS staff to tell patients or their families if incidents have led to serious harm or death.
Instead, the Government will impose such a duty on organisations as a whole and will strengthen duty of candour on individuals using organisations such as the General Medical Council (GMC).
Professional codes of conduct and other measures will be used to create a "common responsibility" for staff to be honest with patients when mistakes occur, whether serious or not, and for staff to report "near misses" that could have led to death or serious injury. If doctors or nurses speak up about errors and problems at an early stage, this would be a mitigating factor in any subsequent disciplinary hearing.
Mr Hunt said: "Nobody makes these mistakes intentionally but if you cover them up, lessons don't get learnt."
Today's proposals also mean that any hospital that has failed to be open with a patient about errors or failings could be forced to pay part or all of a compensation claim rather than the tab being picked up by the whole NHS.
The Government has previously announced plans to create a criminal offence of wilful neglect of patients by doctors and nurses.
Welcoming the report, Mr Francis said the "comprehensive collection of measures" announced by the Government, coupled with the commitment of NHS staff, will contribute towards "a new culture of caring" in the NHS.
Mr Hunt said the NHS had looked at the airline industry, where it was normal culture to report issues or near-misses.
He said: "We want doctors or nurses to think it's in their interest to speak out if there's something that worries them.
"But we're going to go even further. At the moment if a hospital loses a litigation claim, the cost of that litigation award is picked up centrally by the NHS Litigation Authority.
"We're going to consult on changing that so if there has not been proper openness and transparency about patient harm - for example, if a patient or family has been told that death or harm was unavoidable when in fact it subsequently turns out it was avoidable - the hospital risks losing that indemnity which would mean that they may have to pay all or some of any litigation claim.
"We want a signal to go out to every trust board and chief executive in the country, to every doctor and nurse - if you are in any doubt at all, report."
Mr Hunt said there was opposition to legal minimum staffing levels from several organisations, including the British Medical Association (BMA).
"The reason is that it's a different number for different wards. We decided the best way of tackling this was to require all hospitals to collect their staffing levels on a ward-by-ward basis.
"That will be a huge step and means people will know whether some of the problems that happened at Mid Staffs - which didn't happen throughout the hospital, which happened on particular wards - it will be possible to identify that through transparency."
Mr Hunt told the Commons that cruelty became the norm at Stafford.
He said: "One of the most chilling accounts of the Francis report came from Mid Staffs employees, who considered the care they saw as being normal.
"Cruelty became normal in our NHS and no-one noticed."
Under the plans, a "fit and proper persons test" will be introduced so managers who have failed in the past will be barred from taking up posts elsewhere in the system.
Every patient will also have the names of a responsible consultant and nurse listed above their bed.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) said it will publish guidance on safer staffing levels from August next year.
This will include staffing for A&E units, m aternity units, in-patient paediatric and neonatal wards, and m ental health in-patient settings.
Care Minister Norman Lamb said "bad things happen behind closed doors when you don't have the spotlight on what's going on".
He added: "This rigorous focus on opening everything up for public gaze is extraordinarily powerful."
Mr Francis said the Government's response was "carefully considered and thorough".
He added: "I believe this announcement represents a comprehensive collection of measures which, when combined with the enthusiasm and commitment for culture change of NHS staff and the help of patient groups, will contribute greatly to a new culture of caring and making our hospitals safer for patients."
Christina McAnea, head of health at the Unison union, said: "The Government has missed another opportunity to introduce fixed, safe nurse-to-patient ratios.
"There is safety in numbers when it comes to caring for patients and this one step would bring about a revolutionary change on the wards.
"They are recommending a 'toolkit' to set minimum staffing levels but what will happen if these are ignored when wards are under pressure, which is almost a daily occurrence in today's NHS?"
Frank and Janet Robinson, whose son, John Moore-Robinson, died at Stafford Hospital in 2006, said they were still coming to terms with his death years later.
"It's very difficult to live with the fact that John is dead," Mrs Robinson said.
"But then to keep finding other things out as you go along, it's even worse."
The couple said they had successfully applied for a second inquest into their son's death.
Mr Robinson said the fresh inquest was needed because the first one was insufficient, lasting only 90 minutes and calling two witnesses.
"What hurts most is the majority of witnesses at the new inquest were available to the first coroner," he said.
"He failed in his duty to carry out a preliminary investigation that would have highlighted the failings."
Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the BMA, said: "Patient safety should always be paramount, which is why safe staffing levels should always be set in accordance with the best available evidence and with a dynamic consideration of patients' needs at any one time.
"Centrally imposed mandatory staffing levels would be difficult to implement as they fail to recognise that not every patient is the same and, as such, safe levels will vary from time to time across hospitals.
"The Government is right to want to deal with this through a combination of evidence-based guidance, rigorous governance, transparency and openness."
Dr Peter Carter, chief executive of the RCN, said: "The RCN has been calling for some time for greater transparency in identifying the number of staff on each ward. By making this information available on a monthly basis we are going some way to ensuring that each hospital in the country offers patients access to the care they deserve."
He added: "We also welcome the focus on consistent training for healthcare support workers through the care certificate.
"Although we remain convinced that the mandatory regulation of all healthcare support workers is the most effective way of protecting patients, the announcement today is an important first step."
Emma Jones, from law firm Leigh Day, which represented more than 120 victims of abuse and neglect at Stafford Hospital, said: " We are very pleased to see the way in which the Government has adopted the majority of the proposals put forward by Robert Francis QC; however, we believe many proposals have stopped short of covering every incident of abuse or negligence and may not extend throughout all providers of care within the NHS.
"We are also disappointed that a duty of candour has not been be extended to individuals."
Niall Dickson, chief executive of the GMC, said: " Through our guidance, we have already done a great deal to encourage a duty of candour among doctors, but we are not complacent.
"We know there is more to do. We must strengthen the link between our guidance and doctors' practice on the front line, the words on the page and actions on the ward."
The charity Action Against Medical Accidents (AvMA) said it was "dismayed" that the legal duty of candour on organisations is to be restricted only to death or severe harm cases.
It said the "vast majority of incidents which cause significant harm would not be covered by this rule, meaning that organisations would be breaking no statutory rule in covering up such incidents".
Peter Walsh, chief executive of AvMA, said he was grateful Mr Hunt would consider this issue further "but frankly we are dismayed that he needs any more time to think about it.
"The case for a full duty of candour about any significant incident and applying to everyone in the organisation, from board to ward, is overpowering.
"It would be the biggest advance in patient safety and patients' rights in a lifetime.
"The current proposals would be disastrous - in effect legitimising cover ups of the vast majority of incidents which cause serious harm to patients.
"As well as this being grossly unjust to the patients and families concerned, this means that the NHS would continue to fail to learn lessons.
"When I met him yesterday, Mr Hunt told me he was worried about the requirement to inform patients about all significant harm incidents because it might snare up the NHS in bureaucracy.
"However, NHS organisations already have an existing contractual duty to report any incident of significant harm and the vast majority are already doing this but we want that in law."
Speaking in the Commons, shadow health secretary Andy Burnham told Mr Hunt: "The first Francis report found that Mid Staffs made dangerous cuts to frontline staffing over a short period. I welcome the Government's new focus on this issue.
"But isn't it the case that nurse/patient ratios across the NHS have got significantly worse in the last three years, with 5,890 fewer nurses, more older patients in hospital and bed occupancy running at record levels?
"It is encouraging that the NHS has plans to recruit more nurses this year and is introducing more monitoring. You say things are already changing for the better.
"But are you aware that Monitor has warned that trusts are planning major nurse redundancies in the 2014/16 period, far outweighing any increases this year?"
Mr Burnham also insisted more action is required to raise standards.
He told MPs: "As Robert Francis has said, it's unacceptable the security guard at the door of the hospital is more regulated and subject to professional sanctions than the healthcare assistant tending to an elderly patient."

Fortunately, what we later learned is that most folks middle aged and older (especially senior citizens) had some degree of immunity due to being exposed to similar enough strains several decades ago. It spread rapidly, though, amongst younger people, such as myself, who had no such immunity to a similar strain. Of course, the positive in that is most younger folks have a strong enough immune system that they were able to handle H1N1 fine other than just being miserable for a few days to a week.
I had H1N1 back in mid October during its raging peak, and while I'm a healthy 27-year-old with a presumably strong immune system, I was pretty miserable for about six days. I probably hadn't had a fever over 100 in nearly 15 years, but this pushed a fever up in the 101+ range for me. What made things worse is a bacterial respiratory infection came in about four days into having the flu and just stalled my progress of fighting the flu so it strung out a few extra days for me. Antibiotics wiped out the bacterial infection, and then my immune system finished off the H1N1.

The start of spring could bring us some winter precipitation. ABC 17 Stormtrack Meteorologist Neville Miller says the first potential round of snowfall begins Thursday evening, mainly for southern areas of Mid-Missouri and the Lake of the Ozarks.
Miller says the second round of winter weather this week has the greater potential for some accumulating snow in our area. That could come Saturday evening or early Sunday. Miller says he doesn't expect it to be as strong as the two systems we saw in late February, when we got more than a foot-and-a-half of total snow.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Adrian strengthened to a hurricane off Mexico's Pacific coast, becoming the first hurricane of the 2011 Pacific season, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Mexico's government issued a storm watch for the coastal resort of Acapulco and westward along the coast to Punta San Telmo.
Adrian was 265 miles southwest of the Mexican port of Acapulco and heading northwest with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
The center of Adrian was expected to remain offshore but any move to the right "could bring tropical storm conditions to the coast within the watch area tomorrow and Friday", the NHC said.
Mexico has no oil installations in the Pacific but its coast is dotted with beach resorts popular with U.S. tourists.
Last summer, Hurricane Frank left at least three people dead in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.

Mourinho wants no reunions
Jose Mourinho said he hopes to avoid the "emotional difficulty" of facing former clubs Inter Milan or Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals after steering Real Madrid to the last eight for the first time in seven seasons.
Press Pass Extra: UCL quarters decided
• Marcelo savours Real win
• Real Madrid 3-0 Lyon
• Forum: Are Real back to their best
• Champions League gallery
Friday's draw will reveal who Madrid will meet next and with no seedings from the quarter-finals onward, there is a two-in-seven chance Mourinho will be lumped with one of Inter, with whom he won the title last year, or Chelsea.
If Madrid are to continue to progress after their 4-1 aggregate victory over Lyon, secured with a 3-0 second leg win in Spain on Wednesday night, the chances of meeting a club "in my heart" increase for Mourinho but it's a scenario he would like to avoid.
"I prefer to avoid Inter and Chelsea because, emotionally, it's difficult to play against ex-teams,'' Mourinho said. "If we get them, we get them. We're professionals. If I have to face those who were my people, I will do it, but I will be obliged to prepare myself more psychologically than against other teams that aren't in my heart.''
Mourinho also won the Champions League with Porto prior to his Chelsea days and he can look to the fact his resume is littered with Europe's biggest clubs with pride. His fantastic record in Europe was one of the reasons Real brought in the coach and it has paid dividends as they finally got past the hurdle that has felled them each season since 2004 thanks to goals from Marcelo, Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria at the Bernabeu.
Mourinho was happy with his team's performance but played down the fact Madrid had finally reached the last eight after years of disappointment.
"Lyon are a good team, one of the best in this year's Champions League, but we deserved to win. We played a very complete game and we are in the quarter-finals,'' Mourinho said. "I'm happy and quite relaxed because it's normal that we've qualified for the quarters. Some day we had to get through - what wasn't normal was Madrid not getting through. Not getting through would have been a failure because Madrid always think about going further than the last 16. We're going in the right direction and the titles are going to arrive.''
Madrid had to wait until eight minutes before half-time to make the breakthrough against Lyon, when full-back Marcelo scored a fine goal. The home side then dominated the second period, and further goals from in-form striker Benzema - who took his tally to nine in seven goals after netting against his former club - and Di Maria sealed a convincing triumph.
Lyon coach Claude Puel felt Madrid were deserved winners, saying: "I think we did things well in the first half, especially in attack, and we had a certain amount of possession. We played quite well and seemed to be quite dangerous. However, we gave them too many opportunities, too many easy balls.
"In the second half, the second goal was very bad for us. We gave Real Madrid a big gift with that, and from that moment on we didn't have many opportunities. We didn't know how to improve our level of play. We came up against a very good team and all I can do is congratulate Real Madrid because they deserved the win.''
Regarding Madrid's chances of going all the way, Puel said: "I would say that Real Madrid can make it to the end. They have high individual quality, very good players with good acceleration, and if they carry on playing so strong in defence they have every chance to get to the final stages, but the path ahead is very long.''

Economy is sickening
How'd you like the Great Debt Debate last weekend? The best part was calling the deal a Sugar-Coated Satan Sandwich, which I doubt is a healthy snack, but it was funny.
Anyhow, Ken Alltucker, AZ Republic, July 31, 2011, says dwindling job security, the fact that hardly anyone over 50 can get another job if they lose one, that fact that people are pinned in place by upsidedown houses, savings and retirement funds draining, on and on, is causing four of five Americans to suffer stress-related problems.
Oh, yeah, and we also can't afford the doctor, even with insurance.
A monthly survey of 1,000 people making over $50K indicated trouble sleeping, changes in weight, anxiety, and lower energy levels.
More than a quarter had delayed doctor visits. I know I have.
The article called our middle class life a "stick house" with a stick being pulled out.
The expectations of the middle class are changing—said one authority.
At very least.
At least the dude in the pix is sleeping on someone else's dime. So far.

A brief note for all of you PlayStation 3-gaming readers out there. PlayStation has silently announced a firmware update rolling out tonight. If you're keeping track, this is update 4.31.
This firmware update won't "affect online play and access to apps" and does not signal PSN maintenance. Additionally, it's not a mandatory update, though it's designed to "improve overall system stability" and is thus recommended by Sony.
Firmware update 4.31 comes on the heels of the much more substantial update 4.30, which unified PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita Trophies, as well as began the closure of Life With PlayStation, among other things.

If you're the kind of girl that likes to splash out on new makeup each season I have a feeling you'll be excited about the Yves Saint Laurent Autumn Look collection. The YSL Beauty fall 2013 offering is not to be missed, mixing fantastic colour combinations with super-slick packaging that will take pride of place in your makeup bag. Inspired by city streets the collection includes lipstick, nail polish, blush, mascara and eye shadow palettes. The two palettes are my personal favourites, as they're cleverly separated into Uptown and Downtown looks. Uptown featuring smokey shades inspired by champagne, marble, concrete and steel; whilst Downtown pairs neon green with electric blue, reflecting the city lights.
I've been wearing the elegant Uptown shadows with a sweep of Autumn Look Blush Radiance and lashings of Baby Doll mascara. The formulas in the fall 2013 collection are really impressive: the blusher has a half-matte/half satin finish and the eye shadows can be used wet or dry.
The black and gold packaging makes such a cool statement that I've also started storing the palette on my desk, so that I can look at it all day long. At this rate I might have to invest in the Downtown palette too. Especially as I love a bit of fuchsia pink!
The Yves Saint Laurent Autumn Look collection is available now. Shop online at Selfridges and FeelUnique.com. Which eye shadow palette would you chose – Uptown or Downtown? Let me know…

Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office Investigating Lead Into Case Of Missing Keiosha Felix
Is she still alive? That's what Lafayette Parish Sheriff's deputies are trying to find out in their investigation of the missing 15-year-old.
Spokesperson Captain Kip Judice says their office believes they have intercepted communications from her, indicating she is still alive and not far from home. Judice says there's never been any evidence to indicate that she was abducted.
We've been looking for all kinds of information, in terms of chatter via any source. And we think we have located something. We are investigating that at this point.
Judice says they do not believe Felix is being held against her will. Judice says, "we don't know what the circumstances are. But our investigators are working hard to determine that and find out what exactly is happening with her."
Felix has been missing since April 30th and the investigation into her disappearance was recently turned over to the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office. Judice says his office is treating this as a missing person's case and they continue to search for answers.

It's most likely from buildup from your hair conditioner. Try using a different hair conditioner and see if that will work better? I use Matrix Biolage Hydrating leave-in conditioner, or Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition 3-Minute Dryness Reversal Treatment after I shampoo.
