Drake Talks 'Take Care,' Joint Album with Rick Ross, & 'Watch the Throne'
Now that Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV is finally in stores, Young Money is looking to continue its winning streak with Drake's sophomore album Take Care, due October 24. The Canadian rapper-singer spoke at length with Entertainment Weekly about the follow-up to his debut Thank Me Later, a deluxe birthday edition of the album, working with the legendary Stevie Wonder, how Watch the Throne made him push harder, and a potential collaborative album with Rick Ross. Check out some highlights below.
• On the deluxe edition of Take Care: "So what I'm doing is there will be a Take Care physical edition in stores that'll hopefully have 15 to 17 songs on it. Then I know a lot of people do deluxe editions. But since October 24 [his birthday] is a special day for me, I got, like, a Take Care birthday edition that I'm going to put on iTunes that will have extra songs. I really want to encourage people to be excited about the album releasing."

Utica Zoo participates in "Acts of Kindness" movement
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The "Acts of Kindess" movement in honor of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims continues to spread, more than a week after tragedy.
The Utica Zoo waived admission Saturday as part of the effort.
NBC News' Ann Curry started the movement on Twitter, encouraging people to pay it forward and do random acts of kindness everyday.
Local resident Melvin Smith took advantage of the free day and said, "You never know, the day could be gone at any given second. Spending time like this and enjoying it with your family is so good. It's good for the soul it's good for the kids. It's just a good day."
Melvin's family spent some time with the animals but they also had a snowball fight and made some snow angels along the way.

Finger Lakes
A judge agreed to delay the start of a murder trial involving a Webster teenager accused of setting a fatal fire that killed members of his own family.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley supported the judge's decision to move the trial to April at the request of the defense.
The fire happened in Webster in December 2011. Michael Pilato, 16, is accused of setting his family's house on fire, killing his father and two brothers.
The judge said that many of the witnesses needed to testify are West Webster firefighters and Webster police officers who are still dealing with the Christmas Eve tragedy that killed two firefighters and injured two others.
The defense also wants to ensure Pilato gets a fair trial.
"After my conversations with the members of the fire department and the police department, I really think an adjournment in this case is warranted. We are ready to try the case. I wasn't looking for a long adjournment, but I think some time to heal would be in the best interest of everyone," said Doorley.
"It's not going to impact how it's going to proceed. It's still going to be the same case, it's still going to be the same way we're handling it. But, right now considering how close we are on the heels of what just occurred in the same community, just down the street. I just felt it was best for everybody involved to make the request to put this case off several months," said Andre Vitale, defense attorney.
Pilato pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. He's currently being held at the Monroe County Children's Center.
Jury selection is scheduled to start April 15th.

Christian dance not surprisingly is all about Christ. Christ Jesus is the king of our movement. Christian dance centres upon him, and celebrates his victory over darkness.
The word "Christ" is a Greek word literally meaning 'anointed' or 'anointed one'. So when we refer to "Christian" dance we are talking about dance and movement empowered by the anointing of heaven, a supernaturally endued worship flowing from the heart of the Christian dancer.
Christian dance is not about a particular style of dance either – God can just as easily anoint hip-hop as He can classical ballet! What the Father is looking for in the Christian dancer is one who has consecrated themselves, and set apart their Christian dance gift to glorify the One who gave it to them.
Again, it is all about what is on the inside, flowing from the consecrated heart. Our movement is not only in this, the natural realm, but in the spiritual realm. Because we are moving with and in Him, the spiritual world is affected by a Christian dance. Christ himself is expressed and atmospheres are changed.
When we talk about Christian dance we are not referring to a religion or a creed.
God can speak through Christian Dance
In Hebrews chapter one it speaks about how God speaks in many different ways. Through Christian dance God can speak in ways that impact the heart deeply and profoundly. As with all the arts, Christian dance and prophetic movement carries not only a message but the very presence of the Master.
It is this presence, the mystery that work within the Christian dance, that makes anointed movement so different to ordinary dance. The Bible tells us that we are one flesh with Christ, Bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. We are also told that we are the temple of the holy spirit, that he lives in us and flows through us to bring healing and salvation to the world.
The Christian Dancer's discipline
Biblically a disciple is simply a 'disciplined' one. Through diligent training in the natural, and discipline in spiritual things such as prayer, fasting, and a life engaged with the living Word of God through the Scriptures, the Christian dancer has the ability to minister on many levels at one time.
The beauty of skilful and graceful movement coupled with the inward being clothed with Christ, the Anointed One, join together as one in the Christian dancer and flow out in powerful ministry to the Body of Christ and beyond.
The Christian Dance Team
Of course, this dynamic is further multiplied when Christian dancers come together in a unified team and minister as one body.
The development of strong Christian dancers and anointed Christian dance teams is covered in detail in Larna Martin's excellent book, 'Building God's Team of Dancers'.
The message of the gospel in our day
The message of the gospel of Christ in our day is being declared through every means available – with the Christian arts being a major platform that the Holy Spirit is choosing to use.
As a Christian dancer, be encouraged to believe God for His miracle working anointing, His Christ exalting Spirit, and His world transforming ministry made available to you through the New Covenant in Christ Jesus, the Anointed One.

Bedrock Computer Technologies, LLC v. Softlayer Technologies, Inc. et al
Filing 219
MOTION to Intervene by Red Hat, Inc.. (Attachments: # 1 Text of Proposed Order)(Williams, E Danielle)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION Bedrock Computer Technologies LLC, Plaintiff, v. Softlayer Technologies, Inc., et al. Defendant, and Red Hat, Inc., Intervenor. Case No. 6:09-CV-269 JURY TRIAL DEMANDED RED HAT, INC.'S MOTION TO INTERVENE 1 Pursuant to Rule 24(a) and (b) of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, Red Hat, Inc. ("Red Hat") respectfully moves to intervene in this civil action (Case No. 6:09-CV-269) ("Bedrock I") as a matter of right, or alternatively by permission. In accordance with Rule 24(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Red Hat has filed its proposed Complaint in Intervention contemporaneously herewith. INTRODUCTION Red Hat is a global leader in providing open source software solutions, including its operating system platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ("RHEL"), to its customers. RHEL's foundation is the Linux kernel, which is one of the most widely known open source technologies. The Linux kernel has been developed and continues to be improved through the collaboration of thousands and thousands of developers world-wide. Red Hat integrates the Linux kernel into RHEL to offer a stable and high performing operating system to its customers. Red Hat's RHEL technologies "have gained broader market acceptance in mission critical areas of computing" contributing to Red Hat's $748.2 million in revenue for its last fiscal year.1 Despite Red Hat's prominent role, Bedrock only brought suit against companies who are users of the Linux kernel in Bedrock I, including Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon.com") and Softlayer Technologies, Inc. ("Softlayer") who are Red Hat customers, accusing them of infringement based on the functionality of one module buried deep in the millions of lines of code of the Linux kernel. Even though Bedrock has learned of Red Hat's development of the Linux kernel and its distribution of RHEL, Bedrock continues to resist Red Hat's involvement in Bedrock I. However, none of the defendants in Bedrock I oppose this motion. Accordingly, Red Red Hat, Inc.'s Form 10-K at 42 (filed Apr. 29, 2010), available at http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/RHAT/925593923x0xS1193125-10-99295/1087423/filing.pdf ("Form 10K"). 1 2 Hat respectfully requests this Court to give Red Hat the opportunity to protect its business, its operating system platform (RHEL) and its current and prospective customers against Bedrock's allegations of infringement by granting Red Hat's Motion to Intervene. STATEMENT OF FACTS A. Bedrock I is in the Early Stages of Discovery. In Bedrock I, Bedrock sued ten defendants ("Bedrock I Defendants"), including Softlayer and Amazon.com, for alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,893,120 ("the `120 patent") in June 2009.2 On October 9, 2009, Bedrock served its infringement contentions which identified the accused instrumentality to be the route.c software code within certain versions of the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is the foundation of RHEL, Red Hat's operating system product. Simply put, there would be no RHEL without the Linux kernel. The file route.c is one file among the tens of thousands of files that make up the source code of the Linux kernel, containing functions directed at managing the Internet Protocol routing functionality and the kernel's routing cache. Softlayer and Amazon.com are Red Hat customers. On December 9, 2009, Red Hat filed an action for declaratory judgment in the Eastern District of Texas (Case No. 09CV-549-LED) against Bedrock seeking a determination that the `120 patent is invalid and that RHEL does not infringe the `120 patent ("Bedrock II"). Thereafter, Bedrock filed a counterclaim for infringement against Red Hat and served infringement contentions on March 5, 2010. The infringement contentions served on Red Hat are essentially identical to those served on the Bedrock I Defendants, again alleging that the route.c code within the Linux kernel infringes the `120 patent. Seven defendants remain in Bedrock I since Citiware Technology Solutions, LLC never made an appearance and both PayPal, Inc. and CME Group, Inc. have been dismissed. 2 3 Prior to the March 1, 2010 scheduling conference for Bedrock II, counsel for Red Hat proposed putting Bedrock II on the same discovery, claim construction and trial schedule as Bedrock I. Bedrock would not agree to Red Hat's proposal. By the March 1, 2010 scheduling conference, Bedrock was willing to consolidate Bedrock I and Bedrock II for claim construction, and as a result, the Court consolidated Bedrock I and Bedrock II for claim construction through October 2010. During the subsequent docket control order discussions on March 18, 2010, counsel for Red Hat and counsel for Bedrock discussed Red Hat's interest in consolidating Bedrock I and Bedrock II, and counsel for Bedrock indicated Bedrock did not want to consolidate. On March 26, 2010, Bedrock filed an amended answer in Bedrock II adding crossclaims for infringement against fourteen new companies ("Bedrock II Defendants"). On May 19, 2010, Bedrock served infringement contentions on the Bedrock II Defendants, again alleging that the route.c code within the Linux kernel infringes the `120 patent.3 For Bedrock I, discovery is in the early stages and closes on January 10, 2011. The parties have only recently started to produce documents and have engaged in limited written discovery. Only one deposition notice, by Bedrock for one of its owners, has been served and no depositions have otherwise been taken or noticed. The Bedrock I Defendants, Red Hat, and Bedrock have exchanged claim terms for construction under the Court's scheduling order and are preparing for the claim construction hearing in October 2010. No significant deadlines are scheduled prior to the claim construction hearing. All of Bedrock's infringement contentions served on the twenty-two opposing parties in Bedrock I and Bedrock II are essentially identical. 3 4 B. Bedrock's Infringement Allegations Are Directed at the Linux Kernel Which is the Foundation of RHEL. Bedrock alleges that the Bedrock I Defendants infringe the `120 patent by their use of certain versions of the Linux kernel.4 RHEL is "an operating system built from various open source software packages, including the Linux kernel, and is designed expressly for enterprise computing."5 The Linux kernel is the foundation for RHEL.6 RHEL integrates the certain Linux kernel versions identified in Bedrock's Second Amended Complaint [Dkt. 191].7 By alleging infringement through the use of certain versions of the Linux kernel, Bedrock's infringement allegations are directed at RHEL, Red Hat's operating system product. C. Red Hat Has a Direct and Substantial Protectable Interest in Defending Its Products and Its Customers. Since RHEL's introduction, it has gained widespread support from hardware and software vendors, and continues to broaden its market acceptance, including among enterprises in the telecommunications, government and financial services industries.8 For the last fiscal year, Red Hat's subscription revenue from its products increased 18% due primarily to additional subscriptions of RHEL technologies due in part to the migration of enterprises to RHEL.9 To the extent Bedrock's infringement allegations are directed at RHEL, the allegations impair RHEL's reputation and ability to attract future customers. As a result, Red Hat has a substantial interest in defending its own products. 4 5 Second Amended Complaint, at �17, Exh. B-J [Dkt. No. 191]. Form 10-K at 11. 6 Id. at 6. 7 Second Amended Complaint at �17, Exh. B-J [Dkt. No. 191]. 8 Form 10-K at 42. 9 Id. 5 ARGUMENT Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governs intervention and provides two methods: intervention of right under Rule 24(a) and permissive intervention under Rule 24(b). Red Hat should be permitted to intervene under either provision of Rule 24. I. RED HAT IS ENTITLED TO INTERVENE AS A MATTER OF RIGHT UNDER RULE 24(a)(2). Under Rule 24(a)(2), a motion to intervene as of right should be granted when (1) the motion to intervene is timely; (2) the potential intervenor asserts an interest in the property or transaction that is the subject of that case; (3) the disposition of that case may impair or impede the potential intervenor's ability to protect her interest; and (4) the existing parties do not adequately represent the potential intervenor's interest.10 "The inquiry under subsection (a)(2) is a flexible one, which focuses on particular facts and circumstances surrounding each application."11 "Intervention should generally be allowed where no one would be hurt and greater justice could be attained."12 A. Red Hat's Motion to Intervene Is Timely. The timeliness determination is based on all the facts and circumstances, including the length of time before moving to intervene, the extent of the prejudice that the existing parties to the litigation may suffer from any delay in moving to intervene, the extent of the prejudice that the intervenor may suffer if its petition for leave to intervene is denied, and the existence of unusual circumstances.13 "[A]lthough these factors give structure to our timeliness analysis, we have explicitly observed that the timeliness analysis remains contextual, and should not be used 10 Ross v. Marshall, 426 F.3d 745, 753 (5th Cir. 2005) (quoting Saldano v. Roach, 363 F.3d 545, 551 (5th Cir. 2004)). 11 Id. (quoting Edwards v. City of Houston, 78 F.3d 983, 999 (5th Cir. 1996) (internal quotation marks omitted)). 12 Id. (quoting Sierra Club v. Espy, 18 F.3d 1202, 1205 (5th Cir. 1994) (internal quotation marks omitted)). 13 Edwards, 78 F.3d at 1000; Heaton v. Monogram Credit Card Bank, 297 F.3d 416, 422�23 (5th Cir. 2002); Stallworth v. Monsanto Co., 558 F2.d 257, 263�66 (5th Cir. 1977). 6 as a tool of retribution to punish the tardy would-be intervenor, but rather [should serve as] a guard against prejudicing the original parties by failing to apply sooner."14 Under the facts and circumstances of this case, Red Hat's motion is timely. Red Hat is moving to intervene in the early stages of the discovery.15 Moreover, the timing of Red Hat's motion will not prejudice any party to the action, including Bedrock. First, the Bedrock I Defendants do not object to this motion. Furthermore, Bedrock I is in the early stages of discovery process. Discovery is set to close on January 10, 2011, and trial is set for April 11, 2011. The parties have only just begun to produce documents in the litigation and have engaged in limited discovery. No depositions have been taken at this point in time and only one deposition has been noticed by Bedrock for one of its owners. The claim construction hearing is currently scheduled for October 2010. The Court previously consolidated the Bedrock I and II matters for the purpose of claim construction such that Red Hat's intervention will have no bearing on the claim construction schedule. In addition, Red Hat remains willing to comply with the Bedrock I deadlines post-claim construction hearing. As a result, the Bedrock I deadlines in the Docket Control Order will remain the same. Red Hat's motion to intervene will have no impact on the schedule or Bedrock's ability to prosecute its case. By contrast, Red Hat will be severely prejudiced if it is not permitted to intervene in Bedrock I. Bedrock's infringement allegations are directed at the Linux kernel which is the foundation of Red Hat's RHEL product that Red Hat distributes to its customers, including Amazon.com and Softlayer, who are Bedrock I Defendants. Red Hat is uniquely motivated to 14 15 Ross, 426 F.3d at 754 (quoting Sierra Club, 18 F.3d at 1205 (internal quotation marks omitted)). See Nikon Corp. v. ASM Lithography B.V., 222 FRD 647, 649�50 (N.D. Cal. 2004) (allowing a manufacturer to intervene during discovery but before filing of dispositive motions). 7 secure the full development of accurate facts related to RHEL. Bedrock's infringement allegations implicate Red Hat's RHEL product, as well as its current and potential customers. An adverse finding of infringement may impact Red Hat and any current and potential customers and set an unfavorable precedent. Accordingly, Red Hat must be permitted to intervene now to defend RHEL and to eliminate any uncertainty caused by Bedrock I and any other threatened litigation. Finally, Red Hat is unaware of any unusual circumstances militating for or against the motion to intervene. To the contrary, the manufacturer/customer relationship is the quintessential scenario in which motions to intervene are granted.16 The simple fact is that Bedrock itself has created a cloud of uncertainty over the Linux kernel harming Red Hat's business and will continue to target Red Hat's customers until Red Hat has the ability to exonerate RHEL. Accordingly, Red Hat's motion is timely. B. Red Hat Has a Strong Interest in the Property and Transaction of this Lawsuit. "[I]ntervention still requires a direct, substantial, legally protectable interest in the proceedings."17 Red Hat has such an interest in Bedrock I because Red Hat's operating system platform is RHEL and the accused Linux kernel is the foundation of RHEL. Since Red Hat's business is RHEL, Red Hat has a direct, substantial, and legally protectable interest in this case. See, e.g., Tivo, Inc. v. AT&T, Inc., No. 2:09-CV-259, at 8�9 (E.D. Tex. March 31, 2010) (granting Microsoft's motion to intervene where Microsoft's product was a component of customer-defendant AT&T's accused product); Reid v. General Motors Corp., 240 F.R.D. 257, 258�60 (E.D. Tex. 2006) (granting manufacturer's motion to intervene in case where its customers were accused of patent infringement); Honeywell Int'l Inc. v. Audiovox Comm. Corp., 2005 WL 2465898 at *4 (D.Del. May 18, 2005) (granting third party manufacturer Seiko Epson's motion to intervene where customers multiple customers of the manufacturer were sued for patent infringement.); see also Int'l Bus. Machs. Corp. v. Conner Peripherals, Inc., Nos. C-93-20117, C-93-20829, 1994 WL 706208, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 13, 1994) (granting manufacturer's request for intervention where customer used manufacturer's components in its products accused of patent infringement and demanded indemnification from manufacturer). 17 Ozee v. Am. Council on Gift Annuities, Inc., 110 F.3d 1082, 1096 (5th Cir. 1997), vacated and remanded, 522 U.S. 1011, proceedings after remand 142 F.3d 937 (1998) (reversing order denying motion to intervene); Diaz v. Southern Drilling Corp., 427 F.2d 1118, 1124 (5th Cir. 1970). 16 8 In Bedrock I, Bedrock's infringement allegations are directed at the Linux kernel which is an integral part of RHEL as provided by Red Hat. Red Hat participates in the open source community by participating in the development of the Linux kernel that is integrated into RHEL.18 Red Hat unquestionably has interest in defending the technology that it helps to develop. When faced with similar circumstances, courts have routinely allowed intervention by the manufacturer.19 Furthermore, Bedrock recently added fourteen new defendants who allegedly use the Linux kernel to Bedrock II. Since Red Hat has every indication that Bedrock will continue to assert the `120 patent against users of the Linux kernel, and correspondingly Red Hat's current and potential customers, Red Hat has an interest in resolving any uncertainty as to RHEL in Bedrock I. C. Red Hat's Ability to Protect its Interests Will Be Impaired If It Cannot Intervene. Red Hat cannot adequately defend RHEL or its current and potential customers if it is not permitted to intervene in Bedrock I. As a key developer and distributor of the Linux kernel, Red Hat personnel are critical to the case and their testimony regarding development and operation of the Linux kernel, including the route.c code, is irreplaceable. Without intervention, Red Hat will be relegated to the sidelines and may be subjected to any adverse ruling flowing from Bedrock I. "The stare decisis effect of an adverse judgment constitutes a sufficient impairment to compel See GREG KROAH-HARTMAN ET AL., LINUX KERNEL DEVELOPMENT 1�3, 10�12 (2009), available at http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/whowriteslinux.pdf (noting that Red Hat "maintains its commanding lead" and providing data demonstrating Red Hat's contribution level to be approximately 12% of the total changes in the Linux kernel releases from March, 2005, to June, 2009). 19 See, e.g., Tivo, at 8�9 (granting Microsoft's motion to intervene where Microsoft's product was a component of customer-defendant AT&T's accused product); Reid, 240 F.R.D. at 258�60 (granting manufacturer's motion to intervene in case where its customers were accused of patent infringement); Honeywell, 2005 WL 2465898, at *4 (granting third party manufacturer Seiko Epson's motion to intervene where customers multiple customers of the manufacturer were sued for patent infringement.); see also Int'l Bus. Machs., 1994 WL 706208, at *5 (granting manufacturer's request for intervention where customer used manufacturer's components in its products accused of patent infringement and demanded indemnification from manufacturer). 18 9 intervention."20 "[I]t is a simple fact of life that a manufacturer must protect its customers, either as a matter of contract, or good business, or in order to avoid the damaging impact of an adverse ruling against its products."21 If permitted to intervene, Red Hat will best be able to protect its interests and to use the Court's resources efficiently. D. The Bedrock I Defendants Do Not Adequately Represent Red Hat's Interests. Red Hat should be allowed to intervene because the Bedrock I Defendants do not adequately represent its interests. A potential intervenor "has only a minimum burden as to inadequate representation."22 "All he needs to show is that the representation by the existing parties may be inadequate."23 The burden is "minimal."24 Red Hat's interests in this case are broader than the Bedrock I Defendants. Specifically, Red Hat is a provider of open source software solutions, including RHEL, to its customers. Red Hat also participates in the development of the Linux kernel which is the foundation of RHEL. Since Red Hat is in the business of providing RHEL, Red Hat has a genuinely broad interest in protecting RHEL for use by its current and potential customers. By contrast, the Bedrock I Defendants are not providers of or developers of open source software solutions, the Linux kernel or RHEL. As a result, they do not share Red Hat's broad interest in protecting RHEL. Expecting the Bedrock I Defendants to protect Red Hat's interests is akin to expecting the car driver to protect the car manufacturer's interests. Only Red Hat can protect its interests vigorously and thoroughly, given its depth of knowledge and experience with RHEL, and its 20 21 Heaton, 297 F.3d at 424. Codex Corp. v. Milgo Elec. Corp., 553 F.2d 735, 738 (1st Cir. 1977). 22 Heaton, 297 F.3d at 425. 23 Id. (emphasis added). 24 Sierra Club, 18 F.3d at 1207. 10 access to the information critical to the development and function of RHEL and the Linux kernel. Accordingly, Red Hat must intervene to protect its own interests directly. II. ALTERNATIVELY, RED HAT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO INTERVENE PERMISSIVELY UNDER RULE 24(b). To the extent that the Court does not find intervention as a matter of right, Red Hat seeks to intervene by permission under Rule 24(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On a request for permissive intervention, the intervenor must show that it "has a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact."25 "In acting on a request for permissive intervention, it is proper to consider, among other things, whether the intervenors' interests are adequately represented by other parties and whether they will significantly contribute to full development of the underlying factual issues in the suit."26 However, "[i]n exercising its discretion, the court must consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the original parties' rights."27 Courts in this district have routinely permitted manufacturers to intervene permissively in suits brought against customers. For example, in Reid v. General Motors Corp., Microsoft sought to intervene � both as of right and permissively � as a defendant claiming that the plaintiffs had "essentially accused its product of infringement and brought suit against its customer."28 The court found that "Microsoft's claims of invalidity and unenforceability raise the same questions of law and fact as similar claims by Defendants because they are all asserted 25 26 Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b)(1)(B); Stallworth, 558 F.2d at 269. New Orleans Pub. Serv., Inc. v. United Gas Pipe Line Co., 732 F.2d 452, 472 (5th Cir. 1984) (citing Spangler v. Pasadena City Bd. of Educ., 552 F.2d 11326, 1329 (9th Cir. 1977) (internal quotation marks omitted). 27 Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b)(3). 28 240 F.R.D. at 258�60. 11 against the [] patent."29 The court, having also found no undue delay or prejudice, granted permissive intervention under Rule 24(b).30 Recently in Tivo, Inc. v. AT&T, Inc., the court permitted Microsoft to intervene permissively.31 Since Microsoft's software was used in the AT&T system accused of infringement, the court found that Microsoft's defenses and the pending case shared common questions of law and fact.32 The court further noted that "Microsoft's proposed complaint-inintervention seeks declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of the three patentsin-suit, which raises the same factual and legal questions as the patents-in-suit already before the Court."33 It is undisputable that there are a number of common questions of law and fact sufficient to permit Red Hat to intervene permissively. As discussed above, Bedrock served essentially identical infringement contentions on Red Hat and on the Bedrock I Defendants, confirming the common questions of law and fact related to non-infringement. The common factual and legal issues also include: (1) design and functionality of the route.c code within the Linux kernel; (2) construction of the disputed terms in the `120 patent; and (3) the invalidity of the `120 patent. Finally, Red Hat has not engaged in any undue delay and will not prejudice Bedrock or the Bedrock I Defendants by intervening. To the contrary, Bedrock I is in the early stages of discovery, and Red Hat will follow the deadlines in the Bedrock I Docket Control Order. Including Red Hat in Bedrock I as a party will facilitate discovery and the presentation of the case. Accordingly, Red Hat should be permitted to intervene permissively. 29 30 Id. at 260. Id. 31 Tivo, at 8�9. 32 Id. at 7. 33 Id. 12 CONCLUSION For the reason stated herein, Red Hat should be allowed to intervene as of right or, in the alternative, by permission of the Court.

On last week's winter finale, The Mindy Project made our dreams come true when Mindy (Mindy Kaling) and Danny (finally!) kissed. While we wait until the comedy returns on April 1, we thought we'd look back and see how Danny stacks up to Mindy's past love interests.
So check out our rankings below, from least dateable to the ultimate OTP.
Strong female characters are rarely allowed to be nuanced on TV. They don't get to be brilliant, vain or funny. They get to be strong (and maybe sexy, if they're lucky). They kick a--, overcome obstacles and rarely display any signs of feminine vulnerability. Often times, their strength is framed as the result of some "issue," (SVU's Olivia Benson troubled childhood, Sonya Cross' Asperger's on The Bridge), as though the women are only strong because a catalyst forced them to be this way.
But Mindy Lahiri doesn't have issues (well, she has issues, but not in that sense). She's a strong, well-developed comedic antihero on par with Michael Scott. But many Mindy Project viewers didn't warm to Mindy as quickly as they took to the equally offensive Office boss. "I think that [Mindy] is very resilient and very confident and until you see her display kindness or show rapport with other people, it's hard for an audience just to decide they love her," Mindy Kaling tells TVGuide.com, recalling the initial reaction to the character.
When we met the confident, caddish Jeremy in the pilot, he didn't quite fit in withThe Mindy Project's other flawed, quirky characters. Then he got fat and magic happened.
All of a sudden, Jeremy became a frazzled, insecure teddy bear we all wanted to hold and eat Cheetos with. "I have to say it's been a blast," Ed Weeks tells TVGuide.com. "I think him coming back from hiatus fat was a big catalyst for a lot of the changes. It sort of unlocked a way of playing him ... which I think is A. more comedic for me to play and B. I think its probably more relatable to the audience because we all have vulnerabilities and its nice when characters find flaws."
The Mindy Project went through so many cast shakeups in its first season, it felt like the ever-changing face of Degrassi. And on Tuesday (9:30/8:30c, Fox), we'll be introduced to yet another new series regular, Adam Pally. The Happy Endings alum plays Peter Prentiss, a fratty new doctor at Schulman & Associates who doesn't exactly make a good first impression on his co-workers.
"He's smart and a really good gynecologist. He actually takes his job really seriously," Pally tells TVGuide.com. "But...

Even the most die-hard Mindy Kaling fans had to acknowledge that The Mindy Project's first season had some flaws. And unfortunately, right when the show seemed to be finding its groove, the season was over. Now, The Mindy Project is back for Season 2 and poised to be the great comedy we always wanted it to be.
The first season of the The Mindy Project suffered from a severe lack of focus. Torn between being a workplace comedy and a meta rom-com, The Mindy Project was a little all over the place. Certain episodes featured so many disjointed story lines that it felt stitched together like a comedy Frankenstein. But even amid the confusion, the show always had enough great jokes — delivered by some of Hollywood's hottest actors — to keep me watching.

[8] Do Patients Presenting with Atherosclerotic Heart Disease and Sudden Cardiac Death Have a Higher Body Mass Index?
Vidhya Nair, Sheena Guglani, Girish M Nair, Michael Pickup, Chitra Rao, John Fernandes. Hamilton Health Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada
Background: A raised body mass index (BMI) has been associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. We sought to identify an association between sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with atherosclerotic CHD and an increased BMI.
Design: A review of all SCD at the Hamilton General Hospital Forensics Unit, for the calendar year 2010, was performed. Clinical details including age, height, weight, symptoms prior to demise and histopathological details from the autopsy were collected. The body mass index was calculated in all cases. Standard statistical methods were used to determine if BMI was higher in patients with atherosclerotic CHD presenting with SCD. The control group for comparison included SCD patients without evidence of atherosclerotic CHD. Sub group analysis included comparison of BMI based on the sex of SCD patients.
Results: One hundred and ten (16.5%) of 666 autopsies conducted in 2010 were classified as SCD. Seventy-one (64.5%) cases of SCD were attributed to atherosclerotic CHD. Sudden cardiac death in the remaining patients was attributed to other causes. The results are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2.

Postgraduate Education
Dr. John M.A. Bohnen, Vice-Chair, Education
The Department of Surgery's residents, fellows and faculty members contributed to another year of accomplishments, challenges and milestones in 2003-2004.
Surgery entry level programs filled all of our first year positions in July 2003, through the Canadian resident match. In 2003-2004, 213 trainees participated in our 11 programs (Cardiac Surgery, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology and Vascular Surgery residencies; and Colorectal Surgery, Paediatric General Surgery and Surgical Oncology fellowship programs). In addition to those residency positions, 166 clinical fellows and 29 elective residents came from many countries to seek further clinical training. Our Thoracic Surgery program has been changed back to a specialty level program by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC), no longer taking residents in their first year of training. Thirty residents received research training within the Surgeon Scientist Program, led by Dr. Ori Rotstein.
Residents finishing Core Surgery (years one and two) and senior residents were highly successful in RCPSC in-training and fellowship exams. Twenty-five of 28 residents passed their Royal College fellowship examinations.
Surgery residents participated in numerous educational offerings that complemented their involvement in patient care. Besides the large number of specialty sessions provided by the surgical faculty in each division, the department sponsors educational series and events for Core Surgery residents. Dr. Bob Mustard continues to run the highly rated Principles of Surgery (POS) Lecture series and provides a practice POS exam from questions he and POS lecturers have created around the lectures and from the surgical literature. Twice yearly, Core Surgery residents participate in the Residents' Forum, in which they give feedback to Dr. Stan Hamstra and me about issues such as work conditions. On July 11, 2003, Core Surgery residents attended the annual half-day program "The Surgeon in Society;" this year's theme was risk management and its relation to surgical education. First year residents attended in July, an orientation day that provided them a chance to meet education providers in a relaxed setting with good food, the most valued resident attractant. Several resident volunteers, enticed by more food and a chance to promote their specialities, participated last fall in a career night for senior year medical students interested in Surgery. In the summer, residents in their third year of clinical training attended a "residents as teachers" workshop, led by Drs. John Murnaghan and Stan Hamstra; this was rated highly by residents and supports residents' triple mission, of providing patient care, achieving their own education and helping to train medical students and junior residents. Last but not least, Dr. Jameel Ali led the department's provision of Advanced Trauma Life Support training, for Core Surgery residents.
Dr. Helen MacRae continued to direct the Surgical Skills Centre (SSC) including training Core Surgery residents in basic operating room skills and theory in a controlled setting, under the supervision of master teachers of surgical technique. Besides Core Surgery training, the SSC provides advanced skills training for surgical divisions and the Departments of Otolaryngology and Obstetrics/Gynecology.
The divisional Program Directors do an outstanding job taking care of their residents' needs and organizing divisional educational and social events. Thanks for a great year to: Drs. Gail Darling (Thoracic Surgery); Doug Hedden (Orthopaedic Surgery); Ron Kodama (Urology); Jack Langer (Paediatric General Surgery); David Latter (Cardiovascular Surgery); Ron Levine (Plastic Surgery); Tom Lindsay (Vascular Surgery); Lorne Rotstein (General Surgery); Carol Swallow (General Surgical Oncology); and Chris Wallace (Neurosurgery) and their tireless assistants: Liz Doherty, Karen Hodgson, Antonella Iannaccio, Eddy De Oliveira, Willa Hart, Gayle Burke, Leah Gabriel, Jan McEvoy, Jane Hanes and Sandi Amaral, respectively.
Each year, hospitals, surgical divisions and the Department of Surgery, award faculty members and residents awards for excellence in postgraduate teaching. Among the key departmental awards, Dr. Ted Ross won the Tovee Postgraduate Award for sustained, outstanding contributions to postgraduate training and Dr. Andrew Kader, won the D. R. Wilson Education Prize for outstanding teaching of medical students by a surgical resident. Congratulations to both for these significant accomplishments.
In September of 2003, our department joined others in engaging staff and residents in online evaluations of residents and teachers, sponsored by the faculty Postgraduate Medicine office. We encountered challenges and glitches, found causes and solutions, and enter the 2004-2005 year with expectations that the system will run more smoothly. We thank the Program Directors, their assistants, teachers and residents for their patience in this start-up year.
The department's education offices have undergone changes this year. The Postgraduate office has merged with the Undergraduate Education office in January 2004 and moved into new quarters on the second floor of the Banting Institute. Undergraduate portfolios have changed but in postgraduate education, I continue as Director, and have assumed the role of departmental Vice Chair, Education.
Two of our divisions have undergone reviews this year. In a five year review of the Neurosurgery division, their educational programs were commended under the leadership of Dr. Chris Wallace and Division Chair, Dr. Jim Rutka. General Surgery came under review as a result of four residents leaving the program this year. This situation is not isolated to Toronto: a disappointing incidence of attrition from General Surgery programs, has occurred across North America over the last few years. A proactive approach this year has brought an outside review, the recommendations of which are not available as of this writing.

Mavic 319 DT Comp spokes Hope evo 2 rear hub, my third custom wheel build from Merlin and as always I am very happy with this combo a tough and reliable wheel easily serviced, a little noisy, but show me a better winter proof XC rear wheel for less.
Highly recommended wheel and builder.
An excellent product that has been put together by a master wheel builder. Will be buying the front wheel soon. Excellent service from merlin again.
Great product, wheels look great and run nice and true. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.
This is my first pair of custom-built wheels, and I love them. Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs, Mavic XM819 UST rims, ACI S/S DB spokes.
For my all-purpose steel hard tail, I wanted lightish, strong rims, big enough to take 2.25 tyres and with the option of running tubed or going tubeless (properly). Hope stuff is always great, and all my friends recommended the hubs.
I did a lot of research, and am glad I bought from Merlin - very helpful before, during and after purchase.
Been hammering them on black, red, orange routes, and can't fault them. Looking forward to fitting tubeless for my next set of tyres...
Very good quality build - works perfectly. I would recommend.
Absolute solid wheel and service from these guys, wheels are perfect unlike my mates purchased elsewhere with half the spokes loose! Shame on you for not buying a merlin build....top notch, nuff said
Merlin makes awesome wheels! Quick, true and great spec!
Ever since back when these were these were Mavic D321's in 2005 and the hope hubs were the XC version, these have always been my wheel built of choice. Yes, they are heavy compared to some but with the weight comes strength. I've had 2 sets of these. The first built onto hope xc hubs by the LBS and the second built on the pro 2's by another online retailer. Since getting these new pro 2 evo's with the 729 rims I've given them quite a bit of stick and they are still running smooth and tru.after the first month. Quite honestly they make my bike feel like an indestructible tank and fill me with confidence whilst riding. I can't fault the build quality or build time from Merlin Cycles. I ordered them on Sunday and they were delivered on Thursday by DPD. I recommend using DPD as they give you a 1 hour time slot for delivery so you're not listening for the door all day. As long as I am able to ride, I'll never use any other wheel. Hope & Mavic 729's... A choice for life! Click Click Click
As a professional bicycle mechanic, I can and have built wheels myself, but it was cheaper to get ones built for me by Merlin. The build quality is second to none, I know I've checked properly.
Still getting used to the noise of the Hope hubs, but loving the weight and strength of the Stan's Flow rim. It's also given me a much better tyre profile, which is giving me more grip too. I've not even made them Tubeless yet.
My only gripe, would be nice to not have to pay for rim tape too,
Used for over a year. Mr Merlin worked his magic on the build and somehow even my racing snake (snail?) build of alpines and revs spokes has held up to loads of peak district beatings and loads of other ridings. Highly reccomended.
Perfect. No other words
FANTASTIC!!! Build quality is excellent, delivery was spot on and I have been running these for nearly a month now, hitting some serious trails and competing in National level DH Comps and they have not let me down. Previously ran Easton Havoc DH but blew out the front during a smash, similar smash with these, but no issues!! Great Wheels, many thanks Merlin!
These wheels with proper ust tyres. Done 3 enduros not one burp or flat running at 20psi or lower and I am 100kg plus with all gear on. Spokes do need to be checked after first ride but thats the same with any new wheel. Very happy with them.
Excellent behaviour because of the low weight, high lateral ridity and the low friction hub bearings, that provides a nice turn to the wheel. UST system with perfect air retention.
Ordered these handbuilt wheels from merlin as all the factory wheelsets did not suit my axle requirements. Really glad I did as I could also choose rim and spoke options too. Already had a week of lakes/Scotland riding and they feel great. Superb build quality. We all know what we're getting with hope hubs and the colour combo looks great on my bike. Delivered within a week even though they were hand built. Top service!
Have wanted a set of these for a while and they were built perfectly and as described.
Great wheelset that was built and delivered quickly. Built to my exact specification, they work brilliantly.
Beautifully crafted and great looking. Lighter than my Shimano MT15's and the clack sound is spot on. Fitted it with a new chain and cassette and very happy overall with the quicker engagement and greater reponse to pedal effort.
A good strong and taught wheel - well made and no complaints.
9mm QR hub, Mavic XM719 rim, DT Revolution Spokes
I had never really considered wheels as that different from one another, but reading into things and as my riding has been getting better I decided it was time to go all out on a nice set.
I could not have underestimated the value of a decent wheel set any more!
These wheels are ultra-stiff and seriously light, all of this makes my bike seem so much more responsive. As for the noise of the freehub, yes its loud but I like it and it wreaks quality.
The overall service from Merlin was very good and I received my wheel promptly and built to perfection.
Would recommend to anyone!
Ah, the best sounding freehub in the world!
Hope hubs - superb
Merlin's build - excellent
I've had 4 wheels from Merlin now, always great quality and have stayed strong and true for a long time.
Legendary wheel builders. Just buy it.
The spoke tension is perfect, it's straight as a die and the Pro2 XM719 combo is as reliable and dependable as it gets.
I received my wheel from Merlin Cycles in excellent condition and in a timely manner. I am extremely happy with the wheel. I can tell it has been built by a master wheelsmith. As true as can be, every spoke perfectly tensioned, all logos aligned between hub and rim as you would expect. The Mavic 721 rim is an old favourite of mine and I'm glad Mavic continue to make this excellent rim and only changed the stickers (this time to a more subtle silvery one). The Hope Pro II Evo is an excellent hub. 4 pawls make for a very satisfactory click to the freewheel and not overly loud like the previous generation of Pro !! hubs.
The wheel is for my 'all-mountain' 150mm trail bike and it's perfect, both in weight and strength. I can see this wheel lasting a very long time.
All in all I would say the service and wheel are both faultless and come at a competitive price. One of the main reasons I chose Merlin for my wheel build this time was mainly as they had the exact items I wanted in stock and the fact they are a very well renowned wheel builder and I say this from previous personal experience as well as reviews of others I have heard. I would definitely use Merlin again and highly recommend them to others!.
As always solid built wheels cant fault em!!!! If your considering buying then this is the place to look...
Another superb wheel build from Merlin, I got the Mavic XM819 rim with DT Comp spokes on the Hope hub. The rim is solid and while slightly heavier than some equivalents I have never had any problems with it. I also like the sound of the Hope freehub as it alerts walkers to my presence and saves me having to shout out. This is the third set of wheels I've had from Merlin, all for different bikes, and can't rate them highly enough.
Decided to treat myself to a new set of wheels for my cotic soul so started looking around at what was out there and at what price.
Considered getting a set of Eastons and Crank Bros purely for the bling factor but couldn't find a lot of decent reviews. However looked at these,saw all the fantastic reviews and coupled with the price seemed like a no-brainer.
I have to say they haven't disappointed, they look fantastic(white rims on blue hubs), are nearly as light as carbon wheels and feel bombproof.
Delivery was extremely quick, they came well packaged up so no complaints.
Overall a fantastic buy
Well built, stiff light and strong, all good.
Great wheel build using proven and ultra-reliable hubs from Hope. Had a previous set built last year, so for the new Ti build this year there was no need to shop around, it was straight back to Merlin.
Hope's Pro 2 Evo hubs are easily servicable and are a real quality product; like their headsets it's one item I'd always go for the best I can afford. They look great in a variety of colours [red for me] and the freehub makes a lovely whirring noise when freewheeling meaning you can warn anyone you're approaching easily - and save the weight of a bell - yes, I am joking ;)
Mavic XM819 UST rims are a sturdy option and offer excellent tubeless qualities - once fitted with Maxxis Highroller UST tyres I very rarely need to add air, they retain pressure brilliantly.
Merlin's wheel build is second to none. Superb.
Awesome wheels. Built really fast and are truly fantastic. Took them to Cwmcarn and Afan and they were superb!
WOW!!!! The build quality of these wheels are superb and Merlin have done a fantastic job. The combination of both a Mavic rim and an amazing sounding hope hub work really well. The wheels run incredibly smoothly and you get that authentic hope hub sound. Not only do they look great they work amazingly to. Blown away to be honest.
My Merlin Cycles supplied red Hope Pro 2 Evo hub laced to a ZTR Flow ex rim is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold. Well put together, safely packaged and sent out within a very short timescale! Just need to save some money now for the front upgrade! Only a minor point but would be good to include an option for rim tape in the selection screen.
Excellent build quality! I got the Crest rim with blue hubs and they look awesome! Lightweight and feel solid. I will review again after I get in some decent miles on them! Can't beat the price either!
Great wheelset that was built and delivered quickly. Built to my exact specification, they work brilliantly.
I have had wheels built before at merlin, so went back when I needed a new one, and the standard was still excellent, with quick turnaround
The guys at Merlin really did me a great favour here. With my old wheel breaking days before a mtb trip to spain they built this wheel up for me and dispatched it within 3 hours, arrived before 9 the next day and I was ready to go. Great hub and rim combo, sucks up the hits nicely, really reassuring quality. Will be ordering the front one very soon.
Excellent quality and delivered very promptly.
Exactly what I want! The rim, hub and spokes models and colours as I choosed on the website! Good price and service!
Great looking wheels , only used them once so far but very smooth!
I agonised over my new wheel-set for the new hard-tail for quite a while; and looking at all the factory built wheels found they all seem to leave out a bit of this or a bit of that.
So I decided on Merlin custom wheels where I get to choose from combinations more suited to me, at the end of the day that's what its about right? So I pull the wheels out of the box and POW, super happy; unbeatable wheels for the price, and just how I wanted them right down to the colour.
Excellent value for money and run really well, very impressed
Perfect! Love it (not only for the looks). Not at all as noisy as I have read it should be. Maybe that's for an older version? Compared to my Mavic Ksyrium Equip, I think it is relatively quiet. Very well built.
Good, price, and top quality wheelset. I can't ask for more.
Orderd my custom made Mavic/Hope wheels late on Tuesday night and took delivery Friday, beautifully built and fast fuss free service, thanks guys at Merlin!!!
great wheel and speedy service as always from merlin. well worth the money.
Perfectly built wheel.
Extremely happy with this wheel, all components are plush and that notorious hope pro2 sound is as good as I wished it would be! As expected, the wheel is 100% true, and a lot lighter than I thought it would be. My 1.5 slicks for city riding fitted with ease too - incase anyone was wondering about that.
I ordered it gone midnight on Sunday (technically Monday) and it had arrived by Wednesday! - Amazing service.
Would definitely use Merlin again (maybe for a matching front wheel!).
Great looking wheels - lightweight and arrived within 4 days of order. Excellent build quality - would recommend.
Great wheelset. very sure-footed. Love 'em. Other reviews complained about the freewheel noise- don't let that put you off, it aint that bad
High quality building. Tough and smooth.
Great wheel and delivered very quicky.
Excellent stiff and strong.... I free ride jump big hits and skate parks all good so far i have a second set ordered for my all mountain bike
I have always bought Mavic and have always had them built by Merlin, I have never had a problem with the build quality and the strength of the wheels that come from these guys. I have to say that these new wheels are fantastic. The Hope Pro 2 laced into the EN521 rim with double butted spokes feels stiff but not too heavy, I know that there are lighter wheels on the market but I wanted reliability and hopefully these wheels perform like all my others. 5/5
well built great looking and they took a serious beating at the ffestiniog dh centre and still run true. Looking forward to using them on the gravity enduro series next year. Definatly a five star rating
I'm a big guy and, having blown hubs before, very specific about my wheel set requirements. This was not my first wheel from Merlin and I'm about to order another. Loads of high quality options on a simple menu system, rapid delivery and expertly built to my specifications. Costly maybe but these wheels last from bike to bike and are just about the most important bit of kit you could ever buy.
Ordered these with Stans ZTR Flow Rims and the DT competition spokes and I am really impressed. They are more than half the weight of my original rims, and the width gives me much more control on singletrack. Would highly recommend.
Great wheels, light strong and very smooth. Hope hubs are exellent. The solid definite click of the free wheel sounds fab. The hub and rim set up is exellent. Very responsive transfer of power.
been out about 6 times now with wheel every thing seems fine no loose spokes nice and solid wheel overall happy with purchase and service. i will be buying the matching front wheell in the near future.
State of the art hubs, awesome quality, I'm quite happy of the combo with the Stan's Flow, I found them very smooth and rigid in AM usage. The build up job by Merlin is quite accurate and clean, as expected. I have to say I'm a happy customer.
Great quality wheel build. The hope hubs feel really well made and they feel nice and stiff.
Nice built wheel that seem dead straight. The ZTR Flow rim made tubeless setup super easy, and it holds the tire very well. Hub seems to be high quality and easy to fit different axle sizes.
Thankyou for the wheels they look like they would survive a nuclear war. Have not completed my bike build yet so have not had a chance to use them. Spoke tension ver consistent compared with some machine built wheels I have come across and nice to see that some people still grease the spoke nipples when truing. Thanks guys.
Excellent wheel, very well built, very happy with service etc, 5 stars!
only had wheels a week but made very true and performed well at dalby forest, love the sound going downhill, recommended
Lovely wheel build from Merlin. Went for Hope Pro 2 hubs with Mavic XM819 UST rims to try tubeless on my Cannondale. Looks very nice with red hubs. Have Hope on my other bikes and I have serviced/replaced bearings on them [having purchased the right drifts/bearing seat tools etc] so I know these wheels will give me longevity and superb performance. No need for a bell with Hope hubs either, anyone will hear you coming :)
I was hesitant between the Crest and the Arch. Finally went for the 2nd one as I give priority to solidity. Weight still decent (1740g / pair with DT comp spokes).
Only 2 rides so can't give a constructive feedback.
Good price at Merlin
Great wheel build, as soon as there fitted and you get out and ride you can feel an instant difference.
Great solid wheel build, very pleased!
Excellent handbuilt wheel, everything I've read about you is true, very satisfied with the wheel in every way, i will continue buying on Merlin from here on Spain.
these wheels are great.Look good and are bomb proof. Was very happy how quickly they arrived.Would def use merlin again for any wheel builds.
For UK riding you will not need a better wheel and hub combo the Hope Pro 2 is up to the job of keeping out the British weather.
The rims are light and strong, great for X/C riding.

Updated: September 23, 2013 2:31PM
PITTSBURGH — Leads of 17-0 and 24-3 should be enough to win football games. Maybe that was the problem for the Bears on Sunday night. Maybe that's why they took their foot off the accelerator, then used both feet to slam on the brakes.
If you go by that theory, then you're saying complacency set in for the Bears against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which goes against the preferred story line of the last few months — that new coach Marc Trestman has shaped this team in his own dynamic image. It looked like the offensive guru was tucked in and asleep by the third quarter.
But the Bears woke up in time on a crazy night that felt like three games wrapped into one. There were the aforementioned big leads. Then there was a Steelers comeback during which the Bears looked comatose. Then there was the final act in which Jay Cutler brought the offense back to life and Julius Peppers made an appearance.
The result was a 40-23 Bears victory. After such an up-and-down game, the answer to the question of whether the 3-0 Bears are for real is thus a three-part one: Yes, no, yes.
Or to sum up: Sure. Why not?
The Bears were up 27-23 in the fourth quarter, and those earlier leads seemed so far away. As did their confidence on offense. So they went to Plan B — ''B'' being Cutler's nickname for Brandon Marshall. Under intense pressure, Cutler went back to his favorite receiver, hitting Marshall for a 41-yard gain.
''Jay threw a 50-yard back shoulder,'' Marshall said. ''I've never seen that happen before. The guy's arm is amazing. Jay, man, put it in the right place.''
Then Cutler hit Earl Bennett with a 17-yard touchdown pass to get some breathing room. Officials initially ruled him out of bounds, but the Bears won the challenge.
''We kept our poise in the noise,'' said Trestman, his rap career surely right around the corner.
Peppers, who had been missing in ''action'' the first two games, returned a fumble 42 yards for a touchdown to give the Bears some late insurance. They had two defensive scores on the night.
If you're a Bears fan, your mood swings have vertigo.
There were questions and answers Sunday night.
Does Cutler still have a problem under the lights?
He came in 8-7 in night games as a Bear, compared with a 28-15 record in the daytime. Bears fans are still wincing over the beating he and the team took against the Green Bay Packers in a Thursday night loss last season. Cutler threw four interceptions and was sacked seven times in that game.
Answer: Cutler looked calm and cool at times Sunday, but there were long periods when the Bears' offense stalled. He certainly started out well. He was 8-for-10 on the first drive, which ended in a field goal.
Cutler, who completed 20 of 30 passes for 159 yards, did enough to win.
On the drive that led to Bennett's touchdown, Cutler converted three third downs, one on a run in which he got rocked. Sliding is always the answer, Jay.
''This could have been a very frustrating night,'' Trestman said. ''There were some people in his face. He had to scramble. But we knew going in it wasn't going to be simple.''
Is Trestman actually Willy Wonka, as tight end Martellus Bennett says he is?
Answer: At a minimum, he's a wonk. He got much too conservative on offense after taking a 17-0 lead. But I assume he'll give out good candy this Halloween.
''We got a quick jump, but that's a really good defense to go out there and try to score 80 points,'' Martellus Bennett said.
Is Peppers back?
Last week, Peppers avoided questions about his poor performance in the first two games of the season.
Answer: He is alive. He had a tackle for a loss in the first half and the fumble return late.
The Bears think the problem lies not just with Peppers but also with the interior linemen, who aren't getting enough of a push to disrupt the quarterback. The linebackers blitzed often Sunday. D.J. Williams had a sack that led to Ben Roethlisberger fumbling in the first quarter. Going forward, it won't help that Henry Melton had to be carted off the field with a knee injury.
Why are the Packers 1-2 and the Bears 3-0?
Bears fans' answer: Because God is a Bears fan.
