Asserted Method Claims ................................................................................................................. 1 II. III. IV. V. VI. Direct Infringement ....................................................................................................... 2 Contributory Infringement ............................................................................................ 3 Inducing Infringement .................................................................................................. 4 Damages:....................................................................................................................... 5 Motion for Reconsideration: ......................................................................................... 6 -i- I. APPLE'S SALE AND OFFER FOR SALE OF THE ACCUSED PRODUCTS DIRECTLY INFRINGE THE ASSERTED METHOD CLAIMS Apple committed direct infringement of the asserted method claims by offering to sell its Tiger (227 Patent, claims 13 and 22) and its Leopard and Snow Leopard (227 patent, claims 13 and 22 and 313 patent, claims 1-3 and 9, 11) operating systems. In Elantech Devices Corp. v. Synaptics, Inc., the court denied summary judgment of noninfringement, finding that the accused products contained software that "present[ed] users with options to enable infringing functionality, regardless of whether the users ever activate or utilize those functions." 2007 WL 3256229 at *6 (N.D. Cal. 2007). The court determined that "one way for the Accused Touchpads to carry out the `providing an indication' step is to provide purchasers (e.g. computer manufacturers) with options that can enable [the claimed functions], regardless of whether the purchasers are shown to have used those functions." Id. at *6; see also Transamerica Life Insurance Co. v. Lincoln Nat'l Life Insurance Co., 597 F.Supp.2d 897 (N.D. IA 2009) . Because the Plaintiff showed that the accused products were "reasonably capable" of carrying out the "providing" step of the asserted method and device claims, users [could] access this functionality, and [the Defendant] `intended or anticipated' such usage." Id. Thus, the accused devices met the disputed limitation of the asserted claims and the Defendant's motion was denied. Likewise, Mirror Worlds presented ample evidence that Apple's accused products perform the methods of the Asserted Method Claims. Here, it is the accused products that perform each step of the claimed methods, not the users. Apple's user surveys (PTX 64, 65) manuals, and user guides (PTX 978, 1676; Bratic Demonstrative (iMac user guide)) and sales presentations are strong circumstantial evidence of direct infringement by sale and "offer to sell" by Apple. Furthermore, Mirror Worlds presented evidence of direct infringement by Apple by virtue of its CEO Steve Jobs demonstrating the -1- Spotlight search functionality at the 2005 MacWorld conference. PTX 1168; see also 1932. Thus, Apple's conduct meets the test for infringement of "an offer for sale." Rotec Indus., Inc. v. Mitsubishi Corp., 215 F.3d 1246, 1254 (Fed. Cir. 2000)( requires no more than a commercial offer for sale). Apple has offered the infringing method for sale - a method that can be carried out by operating systems and its computers containing them. Section 271(a) provides that "whoever without authority ... offers to sell ... any patented invention ... infringes the patent." 35 U.S.C. � 271 (a) (emphasis added). The "offer to sell" language was added to the statute in 1994, a year after the Federal Circuit decided the Joy v. Flakt (6 F. 3d 770 (Fed. Cir. 1993)) case relied on by Apple. Section 101 confirms that a patented invention includes "any new and useful process." 35 U.S.C. � 101. Thus, on its face, the statute provides a remedy for offering a method for sale. "As in all statutory construction cases, [the court] begin[s] with the language of the statute. The first step `is to determine whether the language at issue has a plain and unambiguous meaning with regard to the particular dispute in the case.' The inquiry ceases `if the statutory language is unambiguous and the *43 statutory scheme is coherent and consistent.' " Barnhart v. Sigmon Coal Co., 534 U.S. 438, 450 (2002) (quoting Robinson v. Shell Oil Co., 519 U.S. 337, 340 (1997)). The plain language of � 271(a) provides liability for offering to sell any patented invention. If Congress did not intend to impose liability for offering to sell any invention, it could have created a distinct rule for process patents. Indeed, in 1988, Congress did create a special rule for process patents in � 271(g), making unlawful the sale of products made by a patented process. See Process Patents Amendments Act of 1988, Pub. L. No. 100-418, Title IX.. II. DIRECT INFRINGEMENT -2- Even under the Joy Tech standard, Mirror Worlds has presented sufficient evidence of direct infringement to support its claim of contributory infringement of method claims 1 and 22 of the 227 patent and claims 103 and 9-11 of the 313 patent. To infringe a method claim, an accused product must have practiced all steps of the claimed method. See Joy Techs., Inc. v. Flakt, Inc., 6 F.3d 770, 775 (Fed.Cir.1993) ("A method claim is directly infringed only by one practicing the patented method."); see also 35 U.S.C. � 271 (2006). Just as anticipation can be found by a single prior art use, a finding of infringement can rest on as little as one instance of the claimed method being performed during the pertinent time period. Circumstantial evidence of direct infringement is sufficient to permit a jury to find that at least one other person within the United States during the relevant time period had performed the claimed method. Lucent Tech. v. Gateway, Inc., 580 F.3d 1301, 1318 (Fed Cir 2009). Here, Apple not only designed the accused products to practice the claimed inventions, but also instructed its customers to use the accused products in an infringing way. (PTX 1205, 1206, 1207, 1208, 1209, 1932, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 978, 1676; Bratic Demonstrative (iMac user guide)). III. CONTRIBUTORY INFRINGEMENT Under 35 U.S.C. � 271(c), a party is liable for infringement if he "offers to sell or sells within the United States or imports into the United States ... a material or apparatus for use in practicing a patented process, constituting a material part of the invention, knowing the same to be especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement of such patent, and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing use." "In order to succeed on a claim of contributory infringement, in addition to proving an act of direct infringement, plaintiff must show that defendant `knew that the combination for which its -3- components were especially made was both patented and infringing' and that defendant's components have `no substantial non-infringing uses.' " Cross Med. Prods., Inc. v. Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc., 424 F.3d 1293, 1312 (Fed.Cir.2005) (quoting Golden Blount, Inc. v. Robert H. Peterson Co., 365 F.3d 1054, 1061 (Fed.Cir.2004)). The relevant inquiry with respect to whether there are any substantial non-infringing uses is on the accused features, not the entire operating system or the entire computer. Lucent, 580 F.3d at 1320; see also, Ricoh Co. v. Quanta Computer Inc., 550 F.3d 1325, 1337 (Fed.Cir.2008), cert. denied, (an infringer "should not be permitted to escape liability as a contributory infringer merely by embedding [the infringing apparatus] in a larger product with some additional, separable feature before importing and selling it.") Here, the accused features have no noninfringing uses. In fact, the accused features are suitable only for an infringing use, and including the accused features within the larger operating system does not change the fact that the accused features infringe. Because Apple included the accused features in its operating systems, the jury can reasonably conclude, based on the evidence presented, that Apple intended that users of its computers and other devices to use the accused features and the only intended use of the accused features infringes the patents at issue. IV. INDUCING INFRINGEMENT A party who "actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as an infringer."35 U.S.C. � 271(b). Under this provision, "[t]he plaintiff has the burden*1322 of showing that the alleged infringer's actions induced infringing acts and that he knew or should have known his actions would induce actual infringements." Manville Sales Corp. v. Paramount Sys., Inc., 917 F.2d 544, 553 (Fed.Cir.1990), quoted in DSU Med. Corp. v. JMS Co., 471 F.3d 1293, 1306 (Fed.Cir.2006) (en banc in relevant part). "[A] finding of inducement requires a threshold finding of direct infringement either a finding of specific instances of direct infringement or a finding -4- that the accused products necessarily infringe." Ricoh, 550 F.3d at 1341 (citing ACCO Brands, 501 F.3d at 1313). "[I]nducement requires evidence of culpable conduct, directed to encouraging another's infringement, not merely that the inducer had knowledge of the direct infringer's activities." DSU Med., 471 F.3d at 1306. A plaintiff may still prove the intent element through circumstantial evidence, just as with direct infringement, as discussed above. See id.; see also Fuji Photo Film Co. v. Jazz Photo Corp., 394 F.3d 1368, 1377 (Fed.Cir.2005) ("A patentee may prove intent through circumstantial evidence."); Water Techs. Corp. v. Calco, Ltd., 850 F.2d 660, 668 (Fed.Cir.1988) ("While proof of intent is necessary, direct evidence is not required; rather, circumstantial evidence may suffice."). Evidence of active steps taken to induce infringement, such as advertising an infringing use, can support a finding of an intention for the product to be used in an infringing manner. DSU Med., 471 F.3d at 1305 (citing Grokster, 545 U.S. at 932, 125 S.Ct. 2764). As described in Lucent, the patentee need only prove that the defendant (here Apple) possessed the requisite intent to induce at least one user of its products to infringe the claimed method. Lucent at 1323. Here, Apple demonstrated and promoted infringing uses of the accused products and conferences (PTX 1205, 1206, 1207, 1208, 1209, 1932, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204) and offered user manuals (PTX 978, 1676) that promoted the infringing features, all of which are in evidence. Accordingly, Mirror Worlds has met that burden. V. DAMAGES: If Apple's motion is granted the `227 and `313 patents will be out of the case--the remaining claims will be claims 1, 8, 16, 18 and 25 of the `427 patent (which is all the asserted claims of the `427 patent). Since Tiger is accused of infringing only the `227 patent, that product will be out of the case. It will reduce damages to Mirror Worlds by an additional 4% over the 50% reduction resulting from the Court's ruling dismissing the iPhone, iPods and iPad from the -5- case. Of course, it will reduce the damages to zero if the jury would have found one of the dismissed claims infringed, but does not find any of the remaining claims infringed. The jury currently does not have sufficient information before it to determine the appropriate damages in the above situation. Mirror Worlds believes that eliminating so many claims at this point and reopening evidence would be highly prejudicial. Accordingly, in the event that the Court grants Apple's motion, Mirror Worlds proposes that the Court simply reduce any damages returned by the jury by 4% if the jury finds the `427 patent infringed, and to zero otherwise. VI. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION: Mirror Worlds also respectfully requests that the Court reconsider its grant of JMOL of no contributory infringement or inducement. Apple's motion was based on its argument that Dr. Levy did not opine on contributory infringement or inducement. However, there is no requirement that Mirror Worlds specifically submit expert testimony in order to prevail on on contributory infringement or inducement. Indeed a patent owner is not required to submit expert testimony at all. Here, Mirror Worlds has submitted more than ample evidence that Apple's customers use the accused Spotlight, Time Machine and Cover Flow features in Apple's accused operating systems. For example, Mirror Worlds submitted survey evidence that 64% of customers found Spotlight to be the most beneficial feature of Tiger. PTX0064. Clearly then, at least 64% of Apple's customers must have used Spotlight in order to find it the most beneficial feature. Similarly, Mirror Worlds submitted survey evidence concerning Leopard, showing the percentage of Leopard customers that identified the Spotlight, Time Machine, and Cover Flow as the "most desired" technology. PTX0065. Again, customers must have used those features in -6- order to identify them as "most desired." There is considerable additional evidence of record of actual usage of these features by Apple's customers. These features have no substantial noninfringing use. Their inclusion in Apple's products result in contributory infringement. In additional, there is substantial evidence of record that Apple actively encourages its customers to use these products. For example, there are videos in evidence showing Steve Jobs promoting the Spotlight, Time Machine and Cover Flow features, as well numerous marketing materials doing the same. Apple knows that such use results in infringement by Apple's customers and, therefore, actively induces infringement. Mirror Worlds' counsel should be permitted to tie all the evidence of record at closing so that the jury can reach a conclusion as to whether Apple is liable for contributory infringement or inducement.

So after Admiral Mullen and Secretary of Defense Gates go out on a limb for Obama to support repeal of DADT (legalizing sodomy in the military), using as cover a "study" of service member concerns, Congress says "OK" and passes it anyway, rendering the study a farce. Mullen and Gates, having already committed to support the repeal, now have to go around telling the service members the study means something and their comments and concerns will be taken seriously even though Congress has already passed the law and gone on to ruin other parts of America.
Obama and the Democrats are radical ideologues bent on using their current majorities to push the country as far to the left as they can. They know there will be blow back in November, but figure most of their changes will stick. Anything repealed by a new Congress will be vetoed by Obama. Republicans will pat themselves on the back if they can roll back one tenth of this stuff.
Will the Republicans and the country in general push back on this queering of the military? Most of us are grateful that our troops are willing to die for us. Are we willing to even speak up for them?

It is, in a great measure, by raising up and endowing great minds that God secures the advance of human affairs, and the accomplishment of His own plans on earth.Albert Barnes
By Allah no one is our Shīah except that he has piety for Allah (guards himself against sin) and obeys him. They (the Shīah) are not known and recognized except for their humility, modesty, fear of Allah, trustworthiness, plenty of remembrance of Allah, fasting, service, kindness to the parents, looking after the poor neighbours and afflicted people, mentioning them with nothing except goodness and beneficence; and they are the trustees for their tribes in all the affairs.al-Baqir, Muhammad
Now the activity of the practical virtues is exhibited in political or military affairs, but the actions concerned with these seem to be unleisurely. Warlike actions are completely so (for no one chooses to be at war, or provokes war, for the sake of being at war; any one would seem absolutely murderous if he were to make enemies of his friends in order to bring about battle and slaughter); but the action of the statesman is also unleisurely, and-apart from the political action itself-aims at despotic power and honours, or at all events happiness, for him and his fellow citizens-a happiness different from political action, and evidently sought as being different. So if among virtuous actions political and military actions are distinguished by nobility and greatness, and these are unleisurely and aim at an end and are not desirable for their own sake, but the activity of reason, which is contemplative, seems both to be superior in serious worth and to aim at no end beyond itself, and to have its pleasure proper to itself (and this augments the activity), and the self-sufficiency, leisureliness, unweariedness (so far as this is possible for man), and all the other attributes ascribed to the supremely happy man are evidently those connected with this activity, it follows that this will be the complete happiness of man, if it be allowed a complete term of life.Aristotle
One, who guards his secrets has complete control over his affairs.Ali bin Abu-Talib
Whoever keeps in order his affairs with God (follows His orders sincerely), God will also put his affairs with men in order. Whoever makes arrangement for his salvation, God will arrange his worldly affairs; whoever is a preacher for himself, God will also protect him.Ali bin Abu-Talib
A lot of nonsense is spoken about morality. The world is full of people who have had affairs and most marriages, if you look at the statistics, break down, and does that make people evil? It's they've made bad decisions. It diminishes the situation to say someone is 'morally bankrupt' because they've had an affair.Paul Bettany
When human affairs are so ordered that there is no recognition of God, there is a belittling of man. That is why, in the final analysis, worship and law cannot be completely separated from each other. God has a right to a response from man, to man himself, and where that right of God totally disappears, the order of law among men is dissolved, because there is no cornerstone to keep the whole structure together.Pope Benedict XVI
An unconditional right to say what one pleases about public affairs is what I consider to be the minimum guarantee of the First Amendment.Hugo LaFayette Black
In the affairs of this world, poverty alone is without envy.Giovanni Boccaccio
In all things success depends on previous preparation, and without such previous preparation there is sure to be failure. If what is to be spoken be previously determined, there will be no stumbling. If affairs be previously determined, there will be no difficulty with them. If one's actions have been previously determined, there will be no sorrow in connection with them. If principles of conduct have been previously determined, the practice of them will be inexhaustible.Confucius

Linux Reads Bar Codes
Bar codes printed on machine-readable labels simplify automatic identification of various things. The Linux kernel device driver module developed by Hewlett-Packard provides serial port access to an HP handheld wand-style bar code reader. An interface circuit is presented for connecting the wand to a PC serial port, and we develop software for reading the Bookland bar code. The Bookland bar code is used in the book trade for encoding the International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Because Bookland and the Universal Product Code (UPC) both use the European Article Number (EAN) bar code patterns for encoding decimal digits, it turns out that our software also decodes the UPC, widely used for groceries and other retail merchandise.
The Hewlett-Packard HBCS-A300 Bar Code Wand (Figure 1) brings out a 3-wire serial interface consisting of two power lines and a signal line. When provided with +5 Vdc power and ground, the open-collector signal line can be pulled up with a resistor to the positive rail so that it becomes a TTL-compatible logic level output. As the wand moves over a bar code pattern, the output signal from the wand is low for a white bar, high for a black bar. This logic level signal does not swing negative, and therefore is not RS-232-compatible. As it turns out, however, it doesn't have to be. Inside a PC, the RS-232 signal and control lines typically are connected to a 1489-type bipolar-to-TTL signal translator called an RS-232 receiver. Information from the wand passes correctly through a 1489-type signal translator because the signal translator's threshold voltages are +1 and +2 volts when the IC's response control pin is left open, as it normally is. In that configuration, the translator operates as an inverting buffer for TTL-compatible signals. A white-level input signal below +1 volts translates into TTL-compatible high at the UART input pin, while a black-level input signal above +2 volts translates into TTL-compatible low.
The wand cable is equipped with a DIN connector that Hewlett-Packard describes as a 5-pin connector. It is really a 6-pin DIN connector with the center pin omitted. Sometimes this kind of DIN connector is described as a 5-pin ``240 degree'' connector. The ``other'' 5-pin DIN connector, such as on the PC/AT keyboard, is the one you will get if you are not careful what you ask for; it has five pins arranged in a 180-degree arc. The socket that matches the Hewlett-Packard wand is a 6-pin DIN socket, such as Mouser catalog number 16PJ224, or Digi-Key 275-1020-ND.
Surplus bar code wands obtained from Electronic Goldmine, and also from All Electronics, had the DIN connector wired differently from the pin-out given in Hewlett-Packard's data sheet. Both pin-outs are shown in Figure 2. Different wiring could have been the result of engineering change or possibly manufacturing snafu. In any case, once the power and signal lines had been identified and properly connected, the surplus wands worked the same as new.
The wand responds to light and dark bars. A nonreflecting black bar results in a logic high (+5 volt) level output, while a reflecting white space results in a logic low (ground level) output. There is, however, more to the story. That quick description implies static behavior, but the wand's response is not static at all. Light-source control and light-sensor signal processing circuits located inside the wand appear to be identical to the circuit diagrammed in Hewlett-Packard's data sheet for the 24-pin special-purpose HBCC-0500 integrated circuit (see Figure 3). That circuit creates dynamic behavior. Whenever the wand sees no transition, either white to black, or black to white, it times out after a short delay, and the output reverts to the low (white) level. It turns out that this behavior simplifies processing of the video signal received from the wand. The timeout expires after a very short delay, so there is high probability that the output signal will be in a known state, the low (white) state, when the wand is first picked up to begin a scan. In our software, this timeout feature is also used to detect abnormal termination, such as occurs when the wand is lifted off early or stopped in the middle of a bar code. Even if the wand is stopped on a black bar the circuit quickly times out and the output reverts to the white (low) level.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The Power and the Glory - Graham Greene
I created a post about this book when I finished it yesterday, and now it's gone from my blog - ? How annoying. Fortunately it wasn't terribly long or involved. Sufficient to say I very much enjoyed the book. It was very vivid and I thought Greene captured the arguments for and against religion very well, and I hope to read this book again after some time has passed as I think there's much more to discover. Oh, and I confessed that I can't hear the phrase "the power and the glory" without thinking of the Ultravox song "Hymn," the video of which you can see/hear on YouTube - I won't link the video again in case that's what made my original post disappear. :(

The government may not get the Rs. 50,000 crore of revenue that it expects from the auction of spectrum scheduled for November, thanks to a loophole in the payment schedule of spectrum fees.
Information Memorandum, which contains guidelines for auction of spectrum issued by the department of telecommunications (DoT), says the successful bidders will not be required to give upfront bank guarantee for all the annual installments.
As per the payment schedule, a successful bidder of 1,800 MHz spectrum will have to pay 33% of the total bid amount within 10 days of the auction. Rest of the amount can be paid in 10 equal installments after a moratorium of two years.
The successful bidders will not be required to pay any upfront bank guarantee for the last nine installments.
Interestingly, the telecom commission, the highest decision making body of the sector, had favoured that the bidders should be allotted spectrum after they make 100% upfront payment for the spectrum.
In a presentation to the empowered group of ministers (EGoM) on July 12, the DoT referred to the 1995 bidding of spectrum when the operators did not pay the committed fee after a three years of auction.
In 1999, the government waived off all the remaining installments of the defaulting operators and shifted them to the revenue share regime.
The government lost billions of dollars.
Last year, communications and IT minister Kapil Sibal said that this decision of the previous NDA regime resulted in loss of billions of dollars to the government.
In all the subsequent auctions of spectrum (in 1995 for 2G, in 2010 for 3G and 4G), the successful bidders were asked to pay upfront the final bid amount.
"The pre-1999 experience did not favour deferred payment," said DoT in the presentation. "The Telecom Commission has recommended upfront payment of the full amount and further recommended that the view of RBI and the ministry of finance may be solicited on this issue."
Earlier, in its recommendations on auction of spectrum on April 23, while recommending deferred payment for spectrum fee, TRAI recommended that "annual instalments for deferred payments shall be duly securitised." However, the Information Memorendum says successful bidders will be required to securitise through bank guarantee of "one annual instalment" only.
It is not yet clear how the proposal was put up before the EGoM when both the TRAI and the commission were opposed to it. "The payment schedule has approval of the EGoM," said a senior DoT official."
The government may not accept Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (Trai) recommendations to reduce the reserve price for cellular radiowaves (spectrum) by up to 46% in the auction slated for January.

Print durability is about the retention of image quality and chemical and physical properties of the print under varying environmental conditions, whereas print longevity is about the retention of artistic, sentimental, and/or historic value over time. Print durability and print longevity are thus related but are not the same. The printmaker makes important material and process choices affecting print durability. The print owner makes important curatorial and environmental choices affecting print longevity.
This website is dedicated to digital printmaking and to the preservation of prints and photographs. It is intended to foster a more meaningful conversation about print permanence (i.e., both durability and longevity) between photographers, printmakers, collectors, museum and archives specialists, and also manufacturers who want to provide more appropriate guidance to their customers.
Updated reports for Batch L1 were posted today. This batch contains numerous samples made not by inkjet but by the traditional silver gelatin photographic process, Resin coated (RC) and fiber base (FB) samples of the process are in test - untoned, selenium toned, and sepia toned as well. Many of the Silver gelatin print samples have now reached enough exposure to trigger both the lower and upper limits of their Aardenburg Conservation Display ratings. The subtle exhibited changes in color and tone are essentially due to the residual levels of incorporated optical brighteners ( OBAs) left in the emulsions after processing. The additional toning and extended washing step in the process tend to remove some of the incorporated OBAs which helps to extend the lightfastness rating for the toned samples. All of the RC samples show significantly weaker performance than the FB samples, again due to the higher levels of OBAs incorporated into the RC emulsions by the manufacturer.
Some members of Aardenburg Imaging & Archives have generously donated money and/or samples to our digital print research program during the past year. You believe in our work, and we want to thank you for your continuing support! Here is an AaI&A logo that you can place on your website along with a link to AaI&A if you like. We hope it will help you promote your personal commitment to an informed understanding of the durability of modern digital printing processes as well as more public awareness of the Aardenburg digital print research program.
When you download and unzip this file, you will find a folder with small, medium, and large images of the AaI&A membership logo. The small or medium size images may be just what you need for your website while the large one is useful for printing or resizing to suit custom requirements.

Space Weapons Concepts Before Their Time: Timeline
Does China have military aspiration on the moon? Its not likely. Science fiction (and Popular Mechanics editors from decades past) have predicted that warfare would make the jump to outer space since the Fifties. Fortunately, this isnt the case today. Here are some of the top ideas on space weapons, from past issues of Popular Mechanics.

Portland Reporter Suing Sinclair for Failing to Pay Overtime
Attorneys for former KATU investigative reporter Thom Jensen have filed a suit seeking class action status for a federal lawsuit saying Sinclair Broadcasting Group failed to pay overtime to news reporters at its stations in Oregon, reports The Register-Guard.
Jensen, who worked at the Portland ABC affiliate from October 2006 until December 2012, alleges he regularly worked between five to 10 hours of overtime each week without getting paid for it.
The lawsuit would include people who worked at KATU in Portland as well as those who worked at KMTR and KVAL in Eugene. Fisher Communications, which owned the stations before Sinclair announced it was buying the station group in April, is also named in the suit.
Also, the lawsuit claims Jensen has post-traumatic stress disorder and that the Portland station refused to accommodate his disability. The suit alleges Jensen was fired because of that disability and in retaliation for complaining about not receiving overtime pay.
Jensen claims the company created a stressful and difficult working environment that worsened his illness. Read more

With the Year of St. Paul coming to a close, Pope Benedict tomorrow will inaugurate the Year of the Priest.
While my parents have been the first and foremost influence in my faith development, several Catholic priests have also played a critical role.
Some of them I have known personally. For example, two priests in the Diocese of Arlington (Virginia) had a tremendous impact on me during a time of searching and unhappiness in my 20's. I am still good friends with one of them to this day.
There are also other priests who I have not known personally yet who were huge influences. Pope John Paul II, Father John Corapi, and Archbishop Fulton Sheen come to mind.
Each of these priests has, in his own way, played an important role in helping me to accept, to understand, and ultimately embrace my faith. To all of them I say, "Thank you."
During this Year of the Priest, I encourage anyone reading this who has been positively impacted by a Catholic priest to track him down, and, if he is still living, contact him and thank him.
Above all, let us pray for our priests. (and for vocations to the priesthood!)

Louisiana's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is holding a special meeting Tuesday to consider responses to Gov. Bobby Jindal's efforts to derail the Common Core education standards in public schools.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Louisiana's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is holding a special meeting Tuesday to consider responses to Gov. Bobby Jindal's efforts to derail the Common Core education standards in public schools.
The Republican governor has suspended a state contract to keep the education department from buying testing material for third-graders through eighth-graders that is tied to Common Core. Jindal says the department didn't follow state procurement law in choosing the standardized test it would use.
BESE President Chas Roemer and Education Superintendent John White say the governor has overstepped his legal authority. They say they intend to push forward with the multi-state education standards in Louisiana's schools.
The education board meets midday Tuesday to discuss what happens next, including whether to file a lawsuit against Jindal over who has the authority to determine the standardized tests used in Louisiana's schools.
Three BESE members who oppose Common Core - Lottie Beebe, Carolyn Hill and Jane Smith - say the 11-member education board should not be discussing possible litigation. They say the board should be talking about what test to use now that Jindal has blocked the Common Core-tied test.
Students return to school in about six weeks.
The Common Core standards were developed by states as a way to better prepare students for college and careers, and more than 40 states have adopted the grade-by-grade benchmarks of what students should learn in math and English.
Supporters of Common Core say the standards promote critical thinking and raise expectations for students. But criticism has grown as President Barack Obama's administration encouraged states to use the standards.
Jindal, a one-time supporter of the standards, now says the federal government is trying to use Common Core to control local curriculum and educational systems. Roemer says Jindal has reversed course as a way to try to curry favor with conservatives who could help bolster the governor's likely 2016 presidential bid.
Jindal can't directly shut down use of the multi-state standards in classrooms, and lawmakers rejected attempts earlier this year to replace Common Core with Louisiana-specific education standards.
White and Roemer point to a 2012 law that spells out Louisiana must use nationally recognized content standards, and they say the authority for setting standards rests with the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. A majority of BESE's members support Common Core and recently took votes reaffirming the commitment.

Microsoft slates six fixes for decades final Patch Tue
Microsoft on December 8 expects to push out six patches to address 12 vulnerabilities as part of its monthly security update, the company announced.
The fixes three are rated critical, the rest are labeled important will address bugs in Windows, Internet Explorer (IE) and Microsoft Office, according to an advance notification released on December 3.
The update plans to address at least one known zero-day vulnerability, an issue impacting IE versions 6 and 7. Microsoft confirmed the flaw, rated critical on all Windows platforms except Server 2008, in an advisory it released late last month.
We know that customers are concerned about this issue, and we are also aware that proof-of-concept code is available publicly, a senior security program manager at Microsoft wrote on November 30 in a blog post.
Experts at Rapid7, a vulnerability management firm, said organizations should make this patch a priority. The other critical bulletins set to be released impact Windows and Microsoft Project, a project management software program for Office.
Apparently not slated for repair is a zero-day vulnerability in the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, according to an advisory released last month.
The company said successful exploitation of the flaw, which affects Windows 7 and Server 2008 Release 2, can lead to a denial-of-service that results in a system crash but not the injection of malicious code.Exploit code has been published, but Microsoft is not aware of any active attacks ]underway.

Most of us are concerned about the state of the union, the state of the economy and the state of the housing market. But collectively, as Hoosiers, we need to ask ourselves -- "what is the state of our children?"
INDIANA'S KIDS CAN'T WAIT. That's why here, we've compiled resources for parents that need a hand, opportunities for people and organizations that want to help children in our state and a network of collaboration among community partners and securing the future of Indiana's kids.
To help kick off the KIDS CAN'T WAIT campaign and inform the public on the state of Indiana's children, we gathered at the Indiana State House on Apritl 3, 2008. Gov. Daniels was among the many attendees. 1001 blue pinwheels were planted on the grounds of the State House to represent the 87,000 live births of children in Indiana. The theme for the kick off event was "Cherish the Children." buy adipex-p buy adipex online. buy alprazolam online without prescription xanax for sale. does costco carry vyvanse vyvanse online pharmacy. buy valium online uk only valium online no prescription. carisoprodol 350 mg buy online soma online without prescription. methylphenidate no prescription needed buy ritalin online no prescription. phentermine sale online buy phentermine online without prescription. order modalert no prescription buy provigil no prescription. cost of sibutramine in india buy meridia without prescription. can you buy klonopin online buy klonopin online. buy ambien online overnight delivery no prescription ambien for sale. can i buy ativan ativan online pharmacy.
Gov. Mitch Daniels joined Prevent Child Abuse Indiana and other community leaders to launch the Kids Can't Wait campaign and celebrate Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Children marched to the Statehouse carrying a powerful message on behalf of all Hoosier children: "Protect Me."
A ceremony on April 3 kicked off a new effort to prevent child abuse in Indiana.

Chattanooga rocks Georgia State with a 42-14 win
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA -- Jacob Huesman rushed for two touchdowns and threw for two more to spark Chattanooga to a 42-14 victory over Georgia State Saturday.
Huesman was 9 for 13 for 84 yards passing, and 84 yards rushing as the Mocs built a 35-0 lead by the third quarter.
The Mocs 401 yards and four touchdowns rushing overwhelmed Georgia State, which netted just 30 yards on the ground. Keon Williams led Chattanooga's rushing with 147 yards.
Ben McLane came off the bench for Georgia State (0-2) and threw two consecutive fourth-quarter touchdown passes in an attempt to climb back from a 42-point deficit. McLane was 7 for 12 for 164 yards. Both touchdown passes were caught by Albert Wilson, who finished the game with seven catches and 132 yards receiving.
Georgia State threw for 273 yards while Chattanooga passed for 108 yards.

Not very funny trick, poor fly.
i like to freeze flys and put them in peoples drwes so when they open them swams of flys fly free
Who gives a sh*t. Its just a fly.
thats mean and gross. i mean really who cares if u bring a fly to life it wasnt ever even dead. second of all thats like harrasing the fly. who would WANT to hold a fly? thats icky. Thats like the worst trick ever. Almoust.
That's actually pretty clever... I don't know why I never thought of it.
My brother's ex once did something like that. She and her classmates got a whole bunch of flys, froze them then stuck bits of white paper to them and stuck them in a plastic bag and waited for them to come around. The when a teacher came into the classroom, they opened the bag and a swarm of white flys went round the room making it look like a snow storm. Sent the teacher insane apparently.
'Not very funny trick, poor fly.'
ITS jus a Frickin FLY
PS.I bet shes in PETA
Wow grow up, its a cool trick.
Will this trick also work with small animals and children?
paul you're funny
"Paul on 6:25 AM
Will this trick also work with small animals and children?"
I tryed this. Left it in the freezer for mayb 20 min....i think the fly died lol. Preformer beware don't kill the fly.
mmhhh, i try this with my girlfriend. (54 kg, 165 cm) for ca. 2 Hours, 25 Minutes in the freezer. It works well. thanks sven
Hay man thanks very much dood, I like the occult and I want magic that can be very strange and differnt. So if any person wants to pop by some time and show me a strange trick or link to one would be cool.
COmmon stop being mean. İf u use your mind you can make this trick better with your mind. Use a butterfly, a spider, even maybe a bird(like david blain) this great will be even better when you think over it...
It can actually very funny to watch, if you perform it well. And of course the fly was never dead, but the spectator obviously doesn't know that. And you can say that roght now you have "power" to resurrect a fly, but you can build them up and resurrect a dog or something, and later a person (bullshit, of course):P and just leave them thinking.
u can also do this and tie a rope round da fy and hold the other end
whats even more entertaining than this is to freeze a bee, but before you let him thaw out tie a string around his midsection like a leash... then take it outside and let it thaw... im sure when you new pet comes too he's going to want to go for walk... good thing hes on that string... he cant get to far then.
Ha ha what the heel is this....i 've never seen something stupid like this
hey by the way i am thinking of working out this trick on some of my friends
How long do you need to freeze the fly for?
I used to the put a leash on the fly and walk around. It was absolutly hilarious!
Freeze the fly 5-10 minute in any freezer should be enough. Used a very thin dental floss and, VERY DELICATLY, make a small knot around one of the fly's leg. Don't have it too long or the weight of the leash will be too heavy for the fly to carry for long.
Cruel. How about some real magic tricks with out harming living things...then maybe we would be interested.
Don't worry people, The fly isn't harmed, Just think of it as you taking an Anti-Depresent, Lol
A fly in my lab tried this with liquid nitrogen and died. It was his own fault.
I already know how to do that. It is still neat, though. Never gets old!
Clever trick, but really, if you were teh fly, would you wanna be put in a coma and then frozen, just for the porpose of some little magic trick?
but we're not flies and we're never going to become flies. So what's the big deal? We are not damaging the fly, we are not putting any HARM to it, so what's wrong? It's just a harmless magic trick that doesn't hurt anybody, including the fly!!!
Don't hurt the fly ??? WTF ??? I bet you swat mosquitos, and step on cockroaches and spiders... Justify that... morons !

Brazil has stepped up its efforts to shore up security during the upcoming football World Cup as the country's armed forces moved into Rio de Janeiro's most violent slums to crack down on drug gangs.
More than 2,000 troops, 450 marines and 200 police officers entered the Mare slum complex early on Saturday without firing a shot, and were planning to remain there until July 31, a little more than two weeks after the end of the games.
The Mare complex, home to 130,000 people, is a potential through route for tens of thousands of football fans flying in and out of the metropolis.
"We are monitoring the area closely and patrolling will be constant," Major Alberto Horito said.
Residents went about their business during the crackdown, occasionally poking their heads out of windows to watch the soldiers as they entered their vast favela.
Many resisted talking to reporters, fearful of reprisals from drug trafficking gangs.
But one woman, who declined to be identified, told AFP news agency: "I hope things will get better here" after the robust police and military deployment.
Years of limited success
The move follows a wave of attacks on police posts in slums that had previously been occupied under Rio's "pacification" programme launched in 2008.
Police Pacification Units (UPPs) have been installed in 174 Rio favelas, home to around 600,000 people.
During that time, they have reported 36 confrontations with suspects, leading to 16 deaths and eight people injured and 118 arrests.
In the past week, police have also seized a trove of weapons, including 24 grenades, two machine guns, 100 pistols and rifles, and assorted bullets, as well as more than 1,000 tons of marijuana, cocaine and crack.
However, attacks on police have intensified in recent weeks, suggesting drug gangs are refusing to go quietly and prompting President Dilma Rousseff to sign off on the use of the armed forces to occupy the slum.

Bernadette's Art
Born in Nashville TN with Down Syndrome, Bernadette has become well known in the art community worldwide. Her exposure to the art world and culture started as a child attending as many art galleries, museums, concert halls and plays as her time would allow. From an early age she was encouraged to draw and color in her own style as a form of expression and therapy. This has resulted in a body of work which documents an artist developing a unique style entirely her own. With an artist grandmother and a mother fully committed to allowing her to use this medium of self expression for as far as she would care to take it, Bernadette now exhibits in numerous art galleries, art and craft shows throughout south east and attends many conventions throughout the United States showing and selling her work.

TPAC exhibit
Thursday morning my parents picked me up and we went to TPAC to set up my exhibit. This is a solo show and it really does look nice. I took 17 of my giclees and hung most of them on the wall, but put a few in a cabinet. All of my paintings are colorful so this exhibit will really stand out. Here are some of the giclees that I took for this exhibit.

After a splendid partnership between Alastair Cook and Matt Prior that led England's fightback on Day 4 of the first Test, Indian seamer Umesh Yadav said the pitch has become very flat, making it easy for the batsman. "The wicket has become very flat. It helped the spinners earlier on but it has now become very easy to bat on it," said Yadav. Yadav dismissed Ian Bell and Samit Patel to leave England struggling at 199/5 before Cook and helped the visiting side recover. Cook was unbeaten on 168 in a total of 340/5, having added 141 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket with Prior who remained not out on 84 after a stay of 203 minutes. England now lead the hosts by 10 runs with five wickets in hand. Speaking after the day's play, Yadav, who picked up two wickets, said the Indian bowlers have to put in a lot of effort on Day 5 to get something out of the track. "There is no help for the bowlers. We have to put in a lot of effort to get something out of it. I took my wickets after putting in a lot of effort. It would need a lot of patience tomorrow and a lot of effort to get wickets," he said. England's batting coach Graham Gooch also conceded that the wicket had become very flat, while praising the efforts of Cook and Prior. Gooch also pointed out that India were still on top and are in a position to win the match. "If you know your cricket, India are still in a strong position and still in a position to win. We have to take it ball by ball and not look too far ahead tomorrow. The wicket has become flat," said Gooch. Cook had scored a century on debut at Nagpur in 2006. Recalling that, Gooch said the England captain is a special talent who knows how to bat on Indian pitches. "I watched him in Nagpur when he made his debut and in that match itself he showed he knew what he should do and not do on these wickets. Today he played a major innings for England under tremendous pressure. It was very skilful." Gooch called Cook one of the best players in the world who has a variety of strokes in his arsenal. "He (Cook) is one of the best players in the world. He cuts, sweeps, plays straight and also defends well. He crafted the innings, he was not flamboyant. It was an incredible effort," said Gooch. The batting coach also praised Prior for his defiance and said this knock was one of the wicket-keeper batsman's best. "I think it was as good as innings I have seen him (Prior) play because England was under great pressure after a poor first innings performance. If you get bowled out for less than 200 in a five day game you are up against it because there is so much time left in the game," Gooch said. "What he proved was that there is no demon in this pitch, a pitch that we would have expected in this part of the world... flattish wicket and little bit of turn, very slow turn. Any batsman is vulnerable when he first comes in anywhere in the world. But once you get in a little bit, it becomes a little bit easier and you to trust your skills and trust all the training you have done and Alastair and Prior proved that," he added. Asked about Kevin Pietersen's twin failure in this match, Gooch said the batsman himself would be very unhappy with his display. "Kevin Pietersen will have been very disappointed with his two innings here. He knows he has to back his ability and play accordingly. He played a great innings in Colombo (early this year). He has the ability to turn around things," he said. Pietersen was dismissed by left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha, bowled cheaply both times, in the Test match. Today he was bowled around his legs while going for a sweep.

- Spirit Airlines adds non-reclining seats to new planes
- Continental reports $146 million in 1Q loss, higher revenue
US Airways: Merger talks are off with United
UPDATED (2:55 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 22): USA TODAY's Dan Reed digs deeper into the end of the merger talks. Read full story here.
UPDATED (11:28 a.m. ET on Thursday, April 22): "US Airways Group Inc. said Thursday it has ended talks with United Airlines about a combination," The Associated Press reports. "The announcement came after word that United and Continental Airlines Inc. have exchanged information as a prelude to a possible combination between those two carriers."
If the rumored merger between United and Continental were to go through, it would result in the world's largest airline, passing Delta Air Lines, AP writes.
"We have recently held discussions with United Airlines regarding a possible combination between our two airlines," US Airways CEO Doug Parker said in a statement. "After an extensive review and careful consideration, our Board of Directors has decided to discontinue those discussions."
He continued by saying that US Airways still believes consolidation makes sense in the airline industry. "Whether we participate or not, consolidation that leads to a more efficient industry better able to withstand economic volatility, global competition and the cyclical nature of our industry is a positive outcome."
BREAKING (10:52 a.m. ET on Thursday, April 22): This just crossed the wires from The Associated Press: "US Airways says it has broken off talks about a combination with United Airlines."
Stay tuned for details. --Rebecca Heslin

PCTEL Completes Acquisition Of PCTEL Secure
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in antenna and scanning receiver solutions, today announced that it acquired the remaining interest in PCTEL Secure LLC ("PCTEL Secure"), a joint venture formed with Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc. ("Eclipse"), for $800,000. As a result of this acquisition, PCTEL Secure will be wholly-owned by PCTEL, and Eclipse will not retain any rights or interests in PCTEL Secure. Eric Uner, PCTEL Secure's Chief Architect has become a full-time PCTEL employee. PCTEL Secure will maintain its relationships with key contractors and customers. The PCTEL Secure operation reports directly to PCTEL's CEO, Marty Singer.
"PCTEL and Eclipse accomplished a great deal together, delivering a prototype and a complete ProsettaCore™ Software Developer's Kit (SDK) within 17 months," said Marty Singer. "We are excited about the innovative security solution that we can provide for Android-based mobile devices and to SCADA networks for protection of nodes in utility, business, and other networks," added Singer.
The ProsettaCore solution allows a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or tactical radio, to run in multiple modes, and to enforce multiple security policies, all without any specialized hardware. For example, a phone could have a "Personal Use" mode, and a "Secure" mode, each having different configuration files, apps, access privileges, and more. Security policies can be both pre-configured and updated in the field using a mobile management solution. ProsettaCore keeps the data and applications for different modes completely separated, effectively turning a single-purpose device into a multi-use device with multiple security levels. There are non-security applications for this capability.
About PCTELPCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), develops antenna, scanning receiver, and network solutions for the global wireless market. The company's SeeGull® scanning receivers, SeeHawk® visualization tool, and CLARIFY® system measure, monitor and optimize cellular networks. PCTEL develops and supports scanning receivers for LTE, TD-LTE, EVDO, CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, GSM, and WiMAX networks.

In this image made from amateur video released by the Ugarit News and accessed Monday, July 23, 2012, a Free Syrian Army soldier reacts during clashes with Syrian government troops in Aleppo, Syria. (AP Photo/Ugarit News via AP video)
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A Syrian government official says President Bashar Assad has named five officials to top security posts in a reshuffle of the regime's inner circle.
One of Tuesday's appointments replaces Assad's national security chief, who died last week after being wounded in a rebel bombing that also killed three other officials.
The new appointees are known regime figures, making it unlikely that the reshuffle will alter the government's efforts to defeat anti-Assad rebels.
Rebel groups are battling the government across Syria as the country's 16-month crisis grows increasingly violent and chaotic.
Last week's bomb attack struck a sharp blow to the regime's top brass, though government troops have now largely routed rebel forces fighting in the capital.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss security matters.
