What is BPEL Designer?
The goal of the BPEL Project is to add comprehensive support to Eclipse for the definition, authoring, editing, deploying, testing and debugging of WS-BPEL 2.0 processes. WS-BPEL (Web Services Business Process Execution Language), or BPEL, is a vendor-neutral specification being developed by OASIS to specify business processes as a set of interactions between web services. By providing these tools, this project aims to build a community around support for BPEL in Eclipse.
The implementation will be extensible to third-party vendors in a number of ways. The editor will be extensible to support new activity types, property pages for extensibility of existing constructs, an extensible palette, and product-specific branding capabilities. The runtime deployment framework will be extensible so that third parties may add support for a variety of runtime engines. The model will support extensions to provide new activities or attributes, and the validator will allow for validation of these extensions.
While the key features for a 1.0 release are identified below, we welcome suggestions of additional areas in which this project could participate. Anyone who has ideas is welcome to make comments or proposals to the newsgroup and assist with the evolution of the project.
The Key Features
- Designer. A GEF-based editor that provides a graphical means to author BPEL processes.
- Model. An EMF model that represents the WS-BPEL 2.0 specification.
- Validation. A validator which operates on the EMF model and produces errors and warnings based on the specification.
- Runtime Framework. An extensible framework which will allow for deployment and execution of BPEL processes from the tools into a BPEL engine.
- Debug. A framework which will allow the user to step through the execution of a process, including support for breakpoints.

Mini motors through London with Hyde Park and Green Park editions
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 22nd, 2012 at 10:03AM
Britain is not without its automakers, even if they are all foreign-owned, but Mini certainly ranks among the most quintessentially British of them all. Parent company BMW has cashed in on this with a succession of special editions that celebrate its Anglophilia. The latest are called the Hyde Park and Green Park editions, named after public spaces in London. The Hyde Park model comes in off-white with brown trim (which Mini calls "Hot Chocolate") on the roof, mirror caps and stripes. The Green Park edition has green trim (British Racing Green, naturally) to contrast with the same Pepper... Read More

Nigerian police have detained hundreds of people belonging to an Islamic community in the state of Niger.The arrests on Saturday came weeks after a radical sect killed almost 800 people in the north of the country.
About 1,500 police officers backed by reinforcements from the capital, Abuja, had surrounded the compound of the Darul Islam community on the edge of the town of Mokwa early on Saturday, said Mike Zuokumor, Niger state police chief. "We received a series of reports about the activities of the sect from neighbouring communities, the local government and the emirate [traditional leader]," Zuokumor said.
"Some of them were expressing apprehension concerning the activities of the group and it is our duty to ensure law and order among the citizens of the state."Peaceful arrestsClashes three weeks ago between security forces and members of an Islamist sect called Boko Haram killed close to 800 people in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, more than 800km away from Niger state.
The government ordered an investigation into the violence after Mohammed Yusuf, Boko Haram's leader, was captured by security forces and died in custody.
Saturday's arrests were peaceful and no shots were fired.
Amrul Bashir Abdullahi, the leader of Darul Islam originally from the northern state of Kano, said after being detained that he had lived in Mokwa for 17 years.
"We are not against Western education as we are being accused, but we have our own belief which is not in any way an infringement of the state authorities," Abdullahi said.Societal problems
"We decided to create a camp for ourselves outside the community because of the problems in the larger society. These are problems of corruption, drunkenness, prostitution and so on which Allah forbids." Zuokumor said police wanted to find out more about the beliefs of Darul Islam and that any members found to be from neighbouring countries would be deported.He said police had received reports that Darul Islam was forcibly holding women to be the wives of sect members.
Local media said as many as 3,000 people were believed to live in Darul Islam community.
Male members dress in white robes while its women are fully covered in black.
Nigeria's 140 million population is divided between Christians in the south, and Muslims mainly in the north, where 12 of the 36 states adopted sharia (Islamic law) in 2000.

You go to a luxury hotel for the relaxation, the five-star service, beautiful rooms and wonderful food – but – would you also want the gimmicks that are being offered in some hotels round the world?
Google Glass
First up is Google Glass – the glasses with the interactive 'smart' phone display – worn by concierges at the Montcalm Marble Arch, London to "offer guests advice on local restaurants, shops, travel plans, attractions and activities, or simply to give directions" whilst still maintaining eye contact with their guests. At Londa we tend to answer all questions by showing you information – maybe a map or an article — or through our staff imparting their extensive local knowledge – would you feel difference if they had Google Glass? It's an interesting concept!
At Calle Nevera in Spain, they have gone a little further and, with a unique art collection in the hotel, guests themselves wear Google Glass to view a tour of the artworks – a more practical utilisation of today's technology but maybe you too would like this to browse the wonderful sites and museums round Limassol with Glass – or is it better just to sightsee without the 'Smart' involved?
The world's first Twitter hotel
Staying on the subject of tech, the world's first Twitter hotel has opened on the Magaluf Beach of Majorca. At Sol Wave House, they advertise 'a virtual community called #SocialWave that guests can use to share pictures and flirt'. Of course, the clientele are already in the party mode and by logging into a unique Sol Wave App through Twitter, they can share pictures, meet each other's avatars and send viral kisses. At the same time, Aloft Hotels, has introduced the services of A.L.O. the hotel brand's first Botlr (robotic butler), to perform front and back of house duties, room service and delivery.
We can assure Londa guests, who are looking for sophisticated charm and relaxation — this will not be 'coming soon to a hotel near you'!
Themed rooms — with a twist
In Macau they are going mad for gimmick rooms that may offer enough fun to take away the bad taste of losing at Macau's casino tables. At The Ponte 16 casino-resort, the new rage is the Michael Jackson-themed chamber escape game rooms where you have to fight through riddles and maybe zombies; the Banyan Tree Macau has situated individual spas right next to the beds; Galaxy Macau's has built a 52,000m2 fake beach with 1.5m high waves pounding its sand; The Okura's Yamazato restaurant offers a tea ceremony room made entirely from washi paper, and last but not least for children, family suites are decorated with «Shrek,» «Kung Fu Panda,» and «Madagascar.»
Now call us old-fashioned but at Londa we like to offer our Italian styling without zombies and our menu without Shrek burgers and our Spa without wet sheets and real sand on our Mediterranean beach, but we would be interested to hear your opinion on the hotel gimmick mania – perhaps there is something you have seen on your travels that you believe guests at Londa would appreciate?

CLINTON, Tenn. (WVLT)-- U.S Attorney's Office announces charges and arrest for 42 people involved in a large methamphetamine manufacturing and distribution operation.
The announcement was made by representative from the U.S Attorney's Office, Anderson County Sheriff's Office, Knox County Sheriff's Office, Drug Enforcement Administration, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Methamphetamine and Pharmaceutical Task Force, and other local law enforcement agencies.

I/P Engine, Inc. v. AOL, Inc. et al
Filing 894
REPLY to Response to Motion re 833 MOTION for Judgment as a Matter of Law Renewed Motion For Judgment As A Matter Of Law On Damages Or A New Trial filed by AOL Inc., Gannett Company, Inc., Google Inc., IAC Search & Media, Inc., Target Corporation. (Noona, Stephen)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA NORFOLK DIVISION I/P ENGINE, INC. Civil Action No. 2:11-cv-512 Plaintiff, v. AOL, INC., et al., Defendants. REPLY IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS' RENEWED MOTION FOR JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW ON DAMAGES OR A NEW TRIAL As discussed in Defendants' motion, I/P Engine presented no evidence of a royalty base for the appropriate damages period. The single demonstrative exhibit that I/P Engine relied on during closing arguments did not come close to satisfying its burden of proof. In response, I/P Engine agrees that its demonstrative exhibit "has nothing to do with a royalty base" (Opp., 6) and admits "that a specific damages number for the shortened period was not in evidence" (id., 10). Thus, there is no question that I/P Engine failed to meet its burden on damages. The principal argument in I/P Engine's opposition is not that it introduced evidence of a royalty base for the appropriate period, but the novel proposition that the remedy for its complete failure of proof is a new trial, not entry of judgment as a matter of law. But numerous cases hold that the Court is well within its discretion to enter judgment of no or nominal damages where a patentee fails to meet its burden of proof, as I/P Engine has done in this case. See, e.g., Gustafson, Inc. v. Intersystems Indus. Prods., Inc., 897 F.2d 508, 509 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (affirming award of zero damages where none were proven by patentee). Similarly, it is long established that inadmissible evidence, such as relied on by I/P Engine, does not satisfy a plaintiff's burden of proof. Weisgram v. Marley Co., 528 U.S. 440, 456 (2000). Judgment as a matter of law is 1 especially appropriate here because I/P Engine was on notice of Defendants' challenges to its claim for pre-complaint damages and the numerous flaws its expert's damages opinions long before trial, yet made no effort to introduce evidence of a post-complaint royalty base or correct its expert's faulty analysis of damages. And the Court already rejected I/P Engine's argument that a new trial was not necessary to correct any injustice when it denied the motion for a new trial on laches. (D.N. 884.) I. I/P ENGINE FAILS TO CITE ANY EVIDENCE OF A ROYALTY BASE FOR THE POST-COMPLAINT PERIOD In light of the Court's ruling on laches, I/P Engine bore the burden of proving the amount of damages it incurred, limited solely to the post-complaint period. See A.C. Aukerman Co. v. R.L. Chaides Constr. Co., 960 F.2d 1020, 1040-41 (Fed. Cir. 1992) (en banc). To make this showing, I/P Engine was required to introduce evidence of a royalty base of revenue accrued solely after the filing of the complaint. In response to Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law, however, I/P Engine concedes that the demonstrative exhibit, PDX-441, it presented to the jury during closing arguments did not meet this burden because it "has nothing to do with a royalty base" (Opp., 6) and is therefore not evidence of post-complaint damages.1 The only evidence I/P Engine cites (though only in a footnote) that it contends satisfies its burden of proving a royalty base is evidence of the Defendants' aggregated revenue that spanned both the pre- and post-complaint periods. (Id., 6 n.5 (citing Trial Tr., 833-46).) But 1 As described in Defendants' motion, I/P Engine encouraged the jury to rely on this demonstrative as a measure of damages against Google, even though the demonstrative aggregated claimed damages against all Defendants. (Motion, 13.) I/P Engine contends that any challenge to its use of the demonstrative during closing arguments is waived by Defendants' failure to object. However, I/P Engine's misrepresentations to the jury regarding this demonstrative, instead of relying on admitted evidence in the record, merely highlights its failure of proof on the royalty base. Further, Defendants objected that this demonstrative was not substantive evidence that the jury could rely on. (Trial Tr., 1954, 1965-66.) 2 there is simply no evidence in the record from which the jury could take these aggregate numbers and determine the Defendants' revenue for the post-complaint period, much less attempt any apportionment of those revenues. Rather than cite admitted evidence of a royalty base for the post-complaint period, I/P Engine argues that it should have been allowed to introduce quarterly reports for all of AdWords revenue. (Opp., 6.) According to I/P Engine, the jury could have used those total revenue figures to calculate damages. This argument fails on at least two grounds. First, total AdWords revenue is not evidence of a royalty base because it is not apportioned. Even I/P Engine's damages expert, Dr. Becker, testified that it was necessary to apportion Defendants' AdWords revenue to determine an appropriate royalty base. (Trial Tr., 799, 819-20, 826; D.N. 870-1.) The jury, therefore, could not have relied on total AdWords revenue—even limited to revenue generated after the filing of the complaint—as a proper royalty base. See Cornell University v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 609 F. Supp. 2d 279, 287 (N.D.N.Y. 2009) (Federal Circuit Chief Judge Rader, sitting by designation) (holding that "no reasonable jury could have relied on" evidence of a royalty base that was not properly apportioned). Second, I/P Engine never even attempted to introduce evidence of an apportioned quarterly royalty base. I/P Engine was never precluded from introducing evidence of an apportioned royalty base by quarter or any other timeframe. It simply chose not to do so. I/P Engine's argument is merely an after-the-fact attempt to explain its failure of proof. This is grounds for judgment as a matter of law on past damages, not a new trial. II. I/P ENGINE DID NOT MEET ITS BURDEN OF INTRODUCING EVIDENCE OF AN APPORTIONED ROYALTY BASE In addition to its failure of proof on a royalty base for the appropriate post-complaint period, I/P Engine failed to introduce any evidence apportioning the royalty base evidence that it 3 did introduce (for the wrong period) to reflect the value of the allegedly patented versus unpatented features of the accused systems, as it was required to do. Accordingly, I/P Engine's proffered evidence of a royalty base covering the entire pretrial period should not have been admitted, and judgment as a matter of law is warranted for this additional reason. I/P Engine does not argue or point to any admitted evidence that the entire value of the SmartAds system is attributable to the patents-in-suit. Nor does it contend that it introduced evidence attempting to apportion the incremental value of the allegedly patented technology. Instead, I/P Engine argues that because it did not use all of Google's search advertising revenue as a royalty base, and instead used the revenue improvement it contended was attributable to SmartAds, it had apportioned the royalty base well enough. Yet Dr. Becker admitted that "the SmartAds system that's accused in this case includes a lot more than just the technology that's accused of infringement." (Trial Tr., 918.) Contrary to I/P Engine's argument, there is no authority to support I/P Engine's argument that so long as a damages expert performs some apportionment, his testimony is admissible. As explained in Defendants' opening brief (Motion, 18-19), Federal Circuit Chief Judge Rader rejected this same argument when sitting by designation in Cornell. 609 F. Supp. 2d at 285 (granting judgment as a matter of law where patentee "simply stepped one rung down the [defendant's] revenue ladder from servers and workstations to the next most expensive processor-incorporating product without offering any evidence to show a connection between consumer demand for that product and the patented invention"). Contrary to I/P Engine's argument, neither LaserDynamics, Inc. v. Quanta Computer, Inc., 694 F.3d 51 (Fed. Cir. 2012), or Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 632 F.3d 1292 (Fed. Cir. 2011), hold that an expert royalty base opinion is admissible so long as the expert performs some apportionment. Instead, LaserDynamics held that a plaintiff asserting a patent on an improvement 4 to an optical disk drive could not rely on revenue from the sale of an entire computer (including the disk drive) as the royalty base. 649 F.3d at 68-69. Similarly, the Court in Uniloc stated that it is improper to use revenue from a larger product or system as a royalty base when the patent covers "but a very small component." 632 F.3d at 1320. Here, it is undisputed that the accused functionality is only a small part of the overall SmartAds system. Thus, as in LaserDynamics and Uniloc, I/P Engine must apportion the royalty base correctly to account for the allegedly patented versus unpatented features of SmartAds. By only performing a partial apportionment, I/P Engine's royalty base is overinflated when compared to the actual value of the patents-in-suit. I/P Engine exacerbated this error when it argued that the 3.5% royalty rate was sufficiently small to account for its failure to correctly apportion the royalty base. I/P Engine contends that Dr. Becker did not agree that he adjusted his royalty rate in light of the lack of precision in his apportionment opinion. (Opp., 23.) But I/P Engine made this argument to the jury during its closing. (Motion, 18 (quoting Trial Tr., 2009).) By arguing that any lack of precision in its apportionment method was acceptable in light of a sufficiently small royalty rate, I/P Engine did exactly what the Court in both LaserDynamics and Uniloc explicitly told patentees not to do. LaserDynamics, 694 F.3d at 69; Uniloc, 632 F.3d at 1319-20. Finally, I/P Engine argues that "if Defendants believed Dr. Becker's apportionment was overinflated, they could have presented their own apportionment to the jury." (Opp., 24.) But it is not Defendants' burden to prove damages; it is I/P Engine's burden. And as LaserDynamics explains, difficulties in apportioning the royalty base weigh strongly in favor of measuring damages in the form of a lump sum, as Defendants have consistently argued throughout this case. 694 F.3d at 70. 5 III. I/P ENGINE CITES NO EVIDENCE OF INFRINGEMENT PRIOR TO 2010 As stated in Defendants' motion, the date of the hypothetical negotiation must be based on the date of first alleged infringement. (Motion, 19-22.) At trial, I/P Engine relied on the use of four specific templates to prove infringement, none of which were in use prior to 2010, much less in 2004. (Id., 20-21.) I/P Engine does not dispute this in its opposition or present any evidence that these templates were in use prior to 2010. Nor does it dispute, as its expert testified, that many templates in SmartAds do not infringe. (See Trial Tr., 694-95.) Thus, there is no evidence to support a 2004 date for the hypothetical negotiation, as I/P Engine contends. It is no answer for I/P Engine to argue that Dr. Becker "must presume infringement." (Opp., 14.) Although Dr. Becker is not required to perform an infringement analysis himself, there must be support in the record for the assumptions that underlie his opinion, including the date of first infringement. Basile Baumann Prost Cole & Assocs., Inc. v. BBP & Assocs. LLC, No. WDQ-11-2478, 2012 WL 3115867, at *4 (D. Md. July 25, 2012) ("But 'an expert's opinion, where based on assumed facts, must find some support for those assumptions in the record.'") (quoting McLean v. 988011 Ontario, Ltd., 224 F.3d 797, 801 (6th Cir. 2000)). I/P Engine fails to cite any evidence of infringement prior to 2010, much less in 2004. The only evidence I/P Engine cites in an attempt to support an earlier date for the hypothetical negotiation is conclusory testimony from its technical expert, Dr. Frieder. (Opp., 15 (citing Trial Tr., 592-600).) Dr. Frieder testified that he had looked at various documents dated earlier than 2010 and concluded "basically they all matched." (Trial Tr., 592-93.) Those documents, however, describe SmartAds in only the most general terms. (See, e.g., id., 594 (document is a "high-level description"); id. (document "basically talk[s] about a Quality Score").) None of them identify any pre-2010 template that allegedly corresponds to the accused 6 templates in the 2010 version of SmartAds. I/P Engine has, therefore, failed to meet its burden of establishing a date of first alleged infringement prior to 2010. It is also no answer to argue, as I/P Engine does, that Defendants did not present evidence of an alternative date for the hypothetical negotiation. It is not Defendants' burden to prove either infringement or damages. Nor is I/P Engine correct when it contends that either Defendants or their damages expert argued for a 2004 date of first infringement. Defendants' damages expert, Dr. Ugone, testified that he "accepted [Dr. Becker's assumption of a 2004 date] for purposes of this discussion". (Id., 1580.) The fact that Dr. Ugone assumed Dr. Becker's 2004 date of the hypothetical negotiation for purposes of his own analysis is not substantial evidence of infringement in 2004. Defendants are therefore entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the date of the hypothetical negotiation. IV. I/P ENGINE CITES NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A RUNNING ROYALTY I/P Engine also fails to support its contention that the hypothetical negotiation would have resulted in a running royalty. First, I/P Engine cites generalized testimony describing theoretical advantages that a running royalty may offer under some circumstances. (Opp., 17 (citing Trial Tr., 772).) Such testimony, without any discernible link to the particular facts in this case, does not come close to the substantial evidence necessary to defeat judgment as a matter of law here. See Uniloc, 632 F.3d at 1315 ("To properly carry this burden, the patentee must 'sufficiently [tie the expert testimony on damages] to the facts of the case.'") (quoting Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharm., Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 591 (1993)). Second, I/P Engine cites licenses to the Overture patents. But for the reasons stated in Defendants' motion, those agreements are not comparable and do not involve any party to the hypothetical negotiation in this case. (Motion, 28-29.) Third, I/P Engine cites testimony that Google had licensed the Overture patents. But there is no evidence in the record that the Google-Overture agreement was for a running royalty. 7 Indeed, the facts are to the contrary. Although not admitted at trial, the agreement between Overture and Google was for a lump-sum payment of stock. (D.N. 468-4, ¶ 155.) Fourth, I/P Engine cites evidence that Google lacked a formal licensing policy. But the lack of a formal policy is not substantial evidence showing that Google would have agreed to a running royalty in this case. Dr. Becker in fact agreed that Google had a preference for lump sum royalties. (Trial Tr., 885.) Fifth, I/P Engine cites testimony that Lycos had a slight preference for a running royalty in 2007. (Id., 1683.) But I/P Engine failed to cite testimony that, prior to that date, Lycos had no such preference. (Id., 1749-50.) Therefore, none of this evidence supports a running royalty. And without substantial evidence to support the jury's verdict on this issue, judgment as a matter of law is warranted for this additional reason. V. I/P ENGINE FAILS TO IDENTIFY ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A ROYALTY RATE I/P Engine argues that whether Dr. Becker's testimony was sufficient to support the alleged royalty rate was simply an issue of credibility for the jury. (Opp., 18-21.) For that to be the case, however, Dr. Becker's opinion must first meet the Federal Circuit's reliability standards for the admissibility of expert damages testimony. Here, numerous errors regarding Dr. Becker's analysis of the applicable royalty rate rendered his testimony unreliable and inadmissible, including: (1) he gave no weight to the sale price of the patents, (2) the Overture licenses were not entered into near the correct hypothetical negotiation date in 2010; (3) he performed no comparison of the scope of the Overture patent portfolio with the patents-in-suit; (4) the parties to the Overture agreements were in vastly different bargaining positions than the parties to the hypothetical negotiation; (5) the Overture patents were well-known in the industry, unlike the patents-in-suit; and (6) I/P Engine's technical expert could only testify that the Overture patents were comparable "in a general sense." 8 In response, I/P Engine argues that both the Overture patents and the patents-in-suit relate generally to "search advertising." (Opp., 19.) This tenuous link, however, does not allow an expert to ignore all other evidence in the record, including prior transactions involving the actual patents-in-suit. LaserDynamics, 694 F.3d at 79-80 (noting importance of "[a]ctual licenses to the patents-in-suit"); ResQNet.com, Inc. v. Lansa, Inc., 594 F.3d 860, 872 (Fed. Cir. 2010) ("most reliable license in this record" was license to the patent in suit); Integra LifeSciences I, Ltd. v. Merck KGaA, 331 F.3d 860, 871 (Fed. Cir. 2003), judgment vacated on other grounds, 545 U.S. 193 (2005) (damages award vacated where inconsistent with sale price of company owning the patent). Otherwise a patentee would be free to cherry pick any "search advertising" related license involving different patents and different parties and argue for a royalty rate completely divorced from actual transactions involving the patents-in-suit and the parties to the hypothetical negotiation.2 Simply put, an expert may not ignore the most relevant evidence and base his entire opinion on agreements that are only remotely related, if at all, to the circumstances surrounding the hypothetical negotiation at issue in this case. I/P Engine argues that Dr. Becker "acknowledged" and "considered" the differences between the Overture agreements and the hypothetical negotiation, but did not find them significant. (Opp., 20-21.) But the Federal Rules of Evidence do not permit "opinion evidence that is connected to existing data only by the ipse dixit of the expert." See Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137, 157 (1999). It is, therefore, not sufficient for Dr. Becker to "consider" but ultimately place no importance on evidence, such as transactions involving the 2 I/P Engine does not dispute, for example, that its technical expert, Dr. Frieder, testified that the Overture patents do not relate to methods for filtering advertisements for relevance, unlike the patents-in-suit. (Trial Tr., 716-17.) Instead, I/P Engine argues, without explanation, that this somehow makes the patents-in-suit "better." (Opp., 20.) Even crediting that position, it confirms that the Overture licenses are not directed to comparable technology. 9 asserted patents, that the Federal Circuit has repeatedly held is among the most relevant evidence for determining a reasonable royalty as a matter of law. LaserDynamics, 694 F.3d at 79-80; ResQNet.com, 594 F.3d at 872; Integra LifeSciences, 331 F.3d at 871. VI. I/P ENGINE'S FAILURE OF PROOF DOES NOT ENTITLE IT TO A "DO OVER" ON DAMAGES I/P Engine argues that it is entitled to a new trial— limited solely to the amount of damages against all Defendants—to fix the numerous errors in its case, despite having full knowledge before trial of Defendants' laches defense and their multiple challenges to its damages theories. Contrary to I/P Engine's argument, it is neither required nor sensible for the Court to award I/P Engine a second chance to meet its burden of proof on damages. But to the extent the Court decides to grant a new trial, it should be on all issues.3 A. Failure of Proof Is Not Grounds For a New Trial. I/P Engine contends that, even if it failed to introduce evidence of damages—an essential element of its claim—a new trial, and not judgment as a matter of law, is appropriate. Numerous decisions hold, however, that where a party fails to provide admissible evidence to support its damages claim, judgment as a matter of law of no or nominal damages is warranted. See Designing Health, Inc. v. Collett, 226 F. App'x 976 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (reversing denial of judgment as a matter of law for failure to prove damages and holding that mandate forecloses a new trial); Gustafson, 897 F.2d at 509 (affirming award of zero damages where none were proven by patentee); Devex Corp. v. Gen Motors Corp., 667 F.2d 347, 363 (3d Cir. 1981) (affirming award of no reasonable royalty damages where record was devoid of evidence of a royalty); Apple Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., No. 1:11-cv-8540, 2012 WL 2362630, at *1 (N.D. Ill. June 3 I/P Engine falsely states that the parties "agree . . . that a new trial is necessary." (Opp., 1.) To the contrary, I/P Engine's failure of proof warrants judgment as a matter of law. 10 7, 2012) (Posner, J., sitting by designation) (granting summary judgment on right to past damages where patentee failed to present admissible evidence of damages); Apple Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., 869 F. Supp. 2d 901, 924 (N.D. Ill. 2012) (Posner, J., sitting by designation) (same); Boston Sci. Corp. v. Johnson & Johnson, 550 F. Supp. 2d 1102, 1120-22 (N.D. Cal. 2008) (denying patentee's motion for a new trial on damages and ruling that by failing to present evidence of a reasonable royalty, patentee waived right to damages). Although there may be instances where a district court may, nevertheless, exercise its discretion to grant a new trial or recalculate damages on its own,4 this is not such a case. In Weisgram, 528 U.S. at 456, for example, the Court held that judgment as a matter of law without a new trial was warranted where "although [plaintiff] was on notice every step of the way that [defendant] was challenging his experts, he made no attempt to add or substitute other evidence." See also id. ("[A] litigant's failure to buttress its position because of confidence in the strength of that position is always indulged in at the litigant's own risk.") (quoting Lujan v. Nat'l Wildlife Fed'n, 497 U.S. 871, 897 (1990)). The same is true here. I/P Engine has known since this case's inception that its right to pre-complaint damages was in question, and it has been on notice that its damages theories were being challenged since Defendants served their rebuttal expert report 4 I/P Engine argues that in Cornell, 609 F. Supp. 2d at 292, the district court recalculated damages after it held that the jury had relied on an improper royalty base. (Opp., 3 n.2.) Cornell held that the appropriate royalty base was revenue from the sale of the infringing processor, not the larger CPU brick or even larger server and workstation system. The trial record contained "evidence of sales data for processors," and the jury found a royalty rate. Id. at 282-83. Here, there is no evidence of a royalty base for the post-complaint period in the record. There is, therefore, no means by which the Court could calculate damages and, indeed, no evidence of damages whatsoever. Nor would such a judicial weighing of the damages evidence be consistent with the Seventh Amendment. See Boston Sci., 550 F. Supp. 2d at 1121-22 (defendant has right to jury determination of damages in patent case). 11 on damages and moved prior to trial to exclude Dr. Becker's testimony.5 Yet it did nothing to ensure that it met its burden of proof. I/P Engine's argument that the Court is required to grant a new trial whenever a patentee fails to introduce admissible evidence of damages is not only contrary to authority, it would unnecessarily burden the Court with multiple trials. Here, the failures in I/P Engine's proof are of its own making. Having failed to meet its burden on damages in the first trial, there is no reason why I/P Engine should have another chance to try to prove its case in yet another trial. If that were the rule, any plaintiff who failed to prove its case would be permitted to try again, thereby leading to never-ending rounds of litigation. Indeed, I/P Engine's complete failure of proof demonstrates that its damages case is unfounded, and therefore, no new trial is warranted. B. The Laches Ruling Does Not Excuse I/P Engine's Failure To Introduce Evidence Of A Royalty Base For The Relevant Period. Nor does the Court's ruling on laches justify I/P Engine's failure of proof or support granting a new trial on damages. This Court already rejected the argument that there was any surprise or unfair prejudice in its resolution of laches when it denied I/P Engine's motion for a new trial on that issue. (D.N. 884.) In its motion, I/P Engine argued that "multiple procedural errors" in the Court's laches ruling warranted a new trial on laches, including the timing and notice of the Court's decision to rule. (D.N. 837, 11-16.) The Court has, therefore, already considered and rejected I/P Engine's argument that the ruling justifies a new trial on laches. The 5 I/P Engine cites Federal Circuit decisions that hold that a patentee's expert testimony on damages was inadmissible and remand for a new trial. (Opp., 3.) Those cases merely confirm that a court may order a new trial in its discretion. None of them hold that a court must grant a new trial when a patentee fails to introduce substantial evidence on damages or that judgment as a matter of law is prohibited. Instead, the authority of the district court to enter judgment against a patentee who fails to provide admissible evidence in support of damages is confirmed by numerous decisions, cited above. 12 same reasoning warrants denial of I/P Engine's request for a new trial on the amount of damages here. 1. There is no "common practice" of allowing a jury to find damages based on the wrong damages period. I/P Engine also argues that its failure to introduce evidence of a royalty base justifies a new trial because of the Court's procedure for resolving the laches defense. I/P Engine claims that "the common practice is for the jury to decide the damages due for the full damages period" and for the Court to later "reduce[] the jury's damages award to reflect only the post-suit damages." (Opp., 8.) The argument not only fails because there is no such common or binding practice, but also because it is waived. Any argument that the Court's procedure was faulty is waived. I/P Engine never sought a special verdict on pre-complaint and post-complaint damages or apportionment rates for the appropriate periods that would enable the Court to adjust the damages award according to the subsequent laches ruling, consistent with the Seventh Amendment. See Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 517 U.S. 370, 377 (1996) ("[T]here is no dispute that infringement cases today must be tried to a jury . . . ."); D.N. 699-1. Nor did I/P Engine move before trial to bifurcate laches from damages or liability.6 At a minimum, I/P Engine's failure to even suggest this procedure prior to the Court's laches ruling demonstrates that a new trial is not necessary to correct any injustice. 6 Although I/P Engine never requested bifurcation prior to trial, Defendants proposed bifurcating laches in the parties' joint October 5, 2012 "Preliminary Final Pretrial Order." (Declaration of Howard Chen in Support of Defendants' Reply Briefs, Ex. 2, ¶ 9.) I/P Engine took no position on that issue, and instead simply stated that, if the Court granted Defendants' request, the laches hearing should occur after trial. (Id.) After the pretrial conference, Defendants withdrew their request for a separate hearing on laches, and I/P Engine stated in response only that "I/P Engine believes that any issues directed to laches outside [sic] of the presence of the jury." (D.N. 719, 18.) 13 Further, none of the cases I/P Engine cites support its argument that there is a "common practice" for resolving laches that the Court did not follow. The cited cases actually refute that contention. For example, in Humanscale Corp. v. CompX International, Inc., No. 3:09-cv-86, 2010 WL 3222411 (E.D. Va. Aug. 16, 2010), the verdict form asked the jury to find the amount of damages for the pre-complaint and post-complaint periods separately. Id. at *1 (noting that the jury found damages separately for the pre-March 2009 period and for the post-March 2009 period); id. at *8 (plaintiff initiated suit against defendant in March 2009). To allow the jury to make those findings, the patentee presented evidence of a royalty base by quarter for both the pre-complaint and post-complaint periods. See id. at *19. This is exactly what I/P Engine failed to do. And, as described above, I/P Engine never requested a verdict form with damages findings for both the pre- and post-complaint periods as was done in Humanscale. (See D.N. 699-1.) Its alleged reliance on the procedure in Humanscale is, therefore, disingenuous.7 Similarly, in Amado v. Microsoft Corp., No. SA CV 03-242, 2008 WL 8641264, at *1 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 4, 2008), the parties stipulated to the number of infringing products sold. There was no dispute as to the royalty base, and the court simply applied the jury's royalty rate of four cents per unit after it ruled on laches. The opinion does not reflect any dispute as to the propriety of this procedure. Id. In the present case, however, the correct method of measuring the royalty base is sharply contested. Even I/P Engine used different apportionment rates for different time periods. (D.N. 870-1; Trial Tr., 826-27.) Determining post-complaint damages is, therefore, not a matter of simply applying the jury's royalty rate to an undisputed royalty base. Instead, it 7 Further, because the jury made separate findings for pre- and post-complaint damages, the procedure used in Humanscale did not require the Court to make any fact findings to adjust damages. I/P Engine never proposed such a special verdict form. As a result, unlike in Humanscale, any adjustment to the jury's verdict would require the Court resolve disputed issues of fact related to damages, contrary to the Seventh Amendment. 14 would require resolving factual disputes regarding apportionment of the royalty base. I/P Engine has not explained how the Court could make these findings consistent with the parties' Seventh Amendment right to have damages determined by a jury.8 I/P Engine's argument that a district court must rule on laches in a separate, post-trial proceeding is also contrary to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court has already observed that "Rule 52's advisory committee's notes . . . 'authorizes the court to enter judgment at any time that it can appropriately make a dispositive finding of fact on the evidence.'" (D.N. 800, 2 (emphasis added).) Thus, the Rules themselves refute any contention that the Court must wait until after trial to rule on laches. I/P Engine argues that it had no "obligation" to present "alternative damages theories" or "damages claims under both a non-laches and laches environment." (Opp., 7.) I/P Engine is, of course, not "obligated" to present any evidence at trial on any issue. But it was I/P Engine that bore the burden of proving damages, assumed it would prevail on laches, and chose to submit no evidence from which the jury could find damages for the appropriate period as part of its trial strategy to get the biggest numbers it could before the jury. Further, an "alternative damages theory" was not necessary. I/P Engine could have introduced evidence of Defendants' monthly or quarterly revenues—properly apportioned—for both the pre- and post-complaint periods. It simply chose not to do so. To the extent I/P Engine contends that it was somehow Defendants' 8 The other cases cited by I/P Engine do not even address the appropriate procedure for determining damages when the defense of laches is pled, and instead, simply rule against the defendant on laches after trial. See Engineered Prods. Co. v. Donaldson Co., Inc., 330 F. Supp. 2d 1013, 1029 (N.D. Iowa 2004); Imonex Servs., Inc. v. W.H. Munzprufer Deitmar, Trenner G.m.b.H., 2:01cv174, 2003 WL 26095807, at *1-2 (E.D. Tex. Sept. 25, 2003). Because these cases do not involve a finding of laches, they do not even address what the appropriate procedure is in cases where laches is found. 15 burden to prove damages for the post-complaint period, that suggestion is unsupported by any authority. 2. Deficiencies in I/P Engine's expert reports are not grounds for denying judgment as a matter of law or granting a new trial. I/P Engine also complains that it could not have introduced the necessary evidence of a post-complaint royalty base and damages opinion because its expert, Dr. Becker, did not include this opinion in his Rule 26 expert report. (Opp., 9.) That I/P Engine failed to satisfy the expert disclosure requirements of Rule 26 confirms that its request for a new trial should be rejected, and judgment as a matter of law should be granted. A party cannot reasonably avoid judgment as a matter of law on its claims by pointing to its own failure to disclose the expert testimony needed to satisfy its burden of proof. A new trial in these circumstances would leave I/P Engine in exactly the same place—with a deficient damages report and no relevant expert testimony. 3. I/P Engine could have moved to reopen the record in response to Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law, but did not. I/P Engine never sought to reopen the record at trial to introduce additional evidence and attempt to remedy the failure of proof identified in Defendants' Rule 50(a) motion for judgment as a matter of law on damages. (Opp., 9-10.) The purpose of a Rule 50(a) motion is to inform "the opposing party of the challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence and [to] afford[] a clear opportunity to provide additional evidence that may be available." Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(a) advisory committee's notes (2006); see also Houck & Sons, Inc. v. Transylvania Cnty., 852 F. Supp. 442, 452 (W.D.N.C. 1993) (purpose of Rule 50(a) is to allow "non-moving party an opportunity to reopen its case and present additional evidence"). Here, I/P Engine was on notice of the deficiencies in its proof prior to submission of the case to the jury. But it never sought leave to introduce additional damages evidence after the Court's laches ruling. 16 I/P Engine does not dispute that it never moved to reopen the record to submit additional damages evidence. (Motion, 7.) It instead attempts to (again) blame the Court for its failure, this time by falsely arguing that the Court "made clear that it was not accepting additional testimony" regarding damages. (Opp., 9.) I/P Engine misrepresents the record. In the portion of the transcript that I/P Engine cites, the Court rejected I/P Engine's attempt to submit additional evidence to rebut laches after the Court had already found in Defendants' favor. (See id. (citing Trial Tr., 1868).) I/P Engine never asked for—and the Court never denied—the opportunity to submit additional evidence on the royalty base. These are two distinct issues. The Court correctly denied I/P Engine's request to submit additional evidence on laches because the Court had already decided the issue. I/P Engine, having lost on laches after being fully heard, was not entitled to reopen the record and submit additional evidence. (Id.) A motion to reopen the record in response to a Rule 50(a) motion for judgment as a matter of law, on the other hand, is intended to remedy deficiencies in proof that an opposing party has pointed out before the judge grants the motion or the jury is charged. I/P Engine also faults the Court when it argues that "I/P Engine's counsel acknowledged that a specific damages number for the shortened period was not in evidence and asked the Court for guidance on how to address the situation." (Opp., 10.) Despite I/P Engine's admission that there was no evidence of damages for the appropriate period, the Court gave I/P Engine the benefit of the doubt and allowed the case to proceed to verdict. The Court is not, however, I/P Engine's lawyer and was under no obligation to provide it "guidance" on how to move to reopen the record or meet its burden of proof. This argument confirms that there was never evidence from which the jury could find damages for the post-complaint period. That the Court did not 17 immediately grant judgment as a matter of law or instruct I/P Engine's counsel to move to reopen the record is not grounds for a new trial. C. If A New Trial Is Granted, It Should Be On All Issues. If the Court is inclined to grant a new trial, it should not be limited—as I/P Engine suggests—solely to the amount of damages. Any new trial should encompass liability because the introduction of Dr. Becker's testimony was prejudicial to the entire case. Numerous courts have held that the erroneous admission of evidence that the defendant is a large or wealthy company poses an impermissible risk of swaying the jury's liability determination. See U.S. ex rel. Miller v. Bill Harbert Int'l Const., Inc., 608 F.3d 871, 897-98 (D.C. Cir. 2010); Reilly v. NatWest Mkts. Group, Inc., 181 F.3d 253, 266 (2d Cir. 1999) (evidence of wealth "generally inadmissible"); Koufakis v. Carvel, 45 F.2d 892, 902 (2d Cir. 1970) (remarks in closing concerning defendant's wealth "can be taken as suggesting that the defendant should respond in damages because he is rich and the plaintiff is poor" and "are grounds for a new trial"). I/P Engine argues that it did not introduce evidence of Defendants' "wealth," but instead, introduced evidence of Defendants' revenue. This attempted distinction is unavailing because the same risk of prejudice arises from introduction of irrelevant evidence of a defendant's annual revenues. In both cases, the large dollar figures create the danger that the jury may impermissibly conclude that the defendant should be held liable because it has substantial resources and the patentee is seeking a royalty that is small by comparison. Further, as stated in Defendants' motion, evidence of total revenue attributable to SmartAds is not relevant to the damages analysis. In situations such as this, where the asserted patents do not cover the entire accused product, the law requires that the royalty base "take into account the fact that the claimed invention is not the entire system but only a component of that system." Cornell, 609 F. 18 Supp. 2d at 290.9 I/P Engine does not contend that its patents cover more than just a small aspect of SmartAds, which is itself only one component of Google's AdWords system. Because the introduction of evidence regarding Defendants' total revenues from SmartAds was inherently prejudicial to the jury's findings on both liability as well as damages, any new trial should be on all issues.10 VII. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant their motion for judgment as a matter of law on damages. DATED: February 15, 2013 /s/ Stephen E.

Marvell Tech. Group, Ltd., No. 09-290, 2012 WL 3679564 (W.D. Pa. Aug. 24, 2012), but that case was decided prior to the Federal Circuit's recent decision in LaserDynamics, 694 F.3d at 68, which explicitly criticized and noted the unfair prejudice when evidence of the defendant's overall revenues is introduced to the jury. 10 Walker v. Pettit Construction Co., Inc., 605 F.2d 128, 131 (4th Cir. 1979), cited by I/P Engine is distinguishable. That case specifically notes that the errors at trial were "not so prejudicial or inflammatory as to cast doubt on the reliability of the jury's other findings." Id. As the cases cited above demonstrate, the improper admission of evidence of a defendant's wealth, income, or size risk biasing the jury's findings on all issues, not merely damages. 19 David Bilsker David A.

Another Fast and Furious.. This time we are arming Al Qaeda
This from the NEW YORK TIMES hardly a "Right Winged" paper..
"Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar al-Assad are going to hard-line Islamic jihadists, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster, according to American officials and Middle Eastern diplomats."
""The opposition groups that are receiving the most of the lethal aid are exactly the ones we don't want to have it," said one American official familiar with the outlines of those findings, commenting on an operation that in American eyes has increasingly gone awry."
"The United States is not sending arms directly to the Syrian opposition. Instead, it is providing intelligence and other support for shipments of secondhand light weapons like rifles and grenades into Syria, mainly orchestrated from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The reports indicate that the shipments organized from Qatar, in particular, are largely going to hard-line Islamists."
Arms are being sent through cutouts and supposed Allies and just like Fast and Furious the lack of over-site from this Government is leading
us to arm the very people that are slaughtering their own people. We of course stay above the fray.
This is the result of this Administrations Foreign Policy or really the lack thereof...
"President Barack Obama, during an interview to be shown on Comedy Central, has responded to a question about his administration's confused communication after the Benghazi attack, by saying: 'If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal.'
Tagg Romney said he would like to take a Swing at Obama.. I know how he feels.
As Jeff Foxworthy might have said, "If you an incumbent President and you go on the Comedy Channel with a faux Jew John Stewart - you might be a stupid loser. Or you might be pandering to the clueless youth vote. Either way, you suck.
I'm thinking it is gonna be about a 10 point spread - in Romney's favor.
And Thank God. What would this Obama dork come up with in a second term? Scary stuff.
Not optimal. This un-American lying weasel of a 'president' would probably prefer if four hundred Americans got killed, as long as he could use the event to promet himself.
Barry Obama is the worst President ever. Time for him to step down. This job is waaaaayyyyy over his head.
The Americans who took a gigantic leap of faith that a guy who wasn't qualified to be something like Mayor of Chicago or even a lot of other cities realize their mistake and correct it in November.
""""The Americans who took a gigantic leap of faith that a guy who wasn't qualified to be something like Mayor of Chicago or even a lot of other cities realize their mistake and correct it in November."""
In this post you have made Several offensive racist Comments, which I am sure you didn't intend to do, so I "feel" it's my duty to point out ,,,
1) leap of Faith, this is 2 fold offensive,as it alienates members confined to "non Leaping" abilities and secondly may cause distress for people who can't have Faith...
2) Qualified; this should be self explanatory as Qualified is a condition meant to exclude some people that may not have the ability to be Qualified
3) Chicago; we ALL know this is Code for Criminal, Corrupt, Gangster, all of which is used to denigrate Our Dear Leader
4) November; Jewish, Christian, European, American, Oceanic, Central Asian
means to label seasonal time
Aside from all the other issues, why has no one asked "why was the Ambassador in Benghazi on 9/11? Some diplomatic necessity? His personal preference? Be interesting to know what drove his decision to be there on that date when his normal place of duty is in Tripoli. There was more security in Tripoli at the Embassy than in in Benghazi--I do believe that, knowing that, and if I decided to go to Benghazi, think I'd have have said "Hey, I want some (pick a nr) of you guys to come with me"---. Just lotsa questions to be asked about the whole tragedy.
Tragedy ???
A Tragedy, is when mom and dad are killed in a car wreck,
A Tragedy, is when a nation forgoes it's laws Millions have died for in vain
A tragedy, is NOT NOT NOT what happened in Libya,
A tragedy is NOT NOT NOT what happened on 9/11/01
A tragedy IS that YOU and I and our fellow citizens ALLOW this ILLEGAL government to exist and YES it IS illegal, as at no point has our federal Government been restrained by the Constitution (or us) for Decades...
That my E friend is THE tragedy of ALL tragedies,,
(oh and NO I have NO plan to do/act differently than I have for the last 46 years.. So I'm JUST as big a tragedy to Freedom as are the rest of y'all)
If you work at at it just a tad, I think you and former Seal Benjamin Smith could form a team and go on the TeaParty lecture circuit.
OMG, the honor you do me by including my name in the same sentence with a Real Life Navy Seal,,, Thanks,, but for the Love of Freedom DO NOT EVER do that again !!!
All I do is post and have an opinion, NO WAY EVER does that merit being in the same sentence with a REAL LIFE NAVY SEAL, (Marine, Ranger, Air Force, Coast Guard)...
Sorry you didn't make the connection--he's a FORMER Seal and politically, somewhere to the right of Attila. I'm sure he, like all who served made numerous sacrifices while serving. Just an example, in my 21 yrs of active duty, I had 22 different mailing addresses! No timely mail for me. But like all others who faced similar cirsumstances, we all survived.
What I don't get is your refusal to exclude my name from a current, former alive, deceased member of the Armed Forces in the same sentence. That's my only request...
NOW if you want me to pontificate on these peoples complete and utter failure to uphold their SWORN duty,,, ok fine, I will, (but again that's MY opinion)
which holds no ill will nor ill wishes to those EXACT same people, as THEY did something,, to say that again they D I D something... and I have not
That alone IS Honor, right or wrong, and THAT is what I respect ....
At Home Gym,
I'm having problems following this tread,,, ( I aint all that computer smart)
At one point I see you making references to Atilla the Hun, and me and a Navy Seal???
If I'm wrong about this I AM SORRY for my lack of skills..
IF I'm right about this ,,,,Peace be with you,

As far as I can tell, no there isn't. People tend to level to 80 as quickly as possible and generally ignore instances as they do.
However, craftables are your answer. Blacksmithing makes alot of lower level defense gear that'll easily push you over defense minimum. Just remember that'll change every time you level up until you hit 80 (where crafted Saronite and Titansteel gear will be your bread and butter while you search for more gear).

Bryant & Stratton RN program - page 2
Hi, new to this site, and saw that not alot of information has been posted about the Richmond Bryant & Stratton RN program. I am due to graduate the 20 month ADN program this August, 2011. Five (4 month) semesters long. It is a... Read More
- 0Dec 30, '11 by lauranurselauraHi Blondie,
A few questions:
1 - How many pre-req's do they take? I have completed ALL of my pre-req's at a CC or elsewhere and when I went to Fortis, they said they'd only take 2 out of the 10 or so that I completed. Fortis told me I would have to repeat the rest because it's incorporated into their program and I guess financially that's how they justify the high cost. (If I read correctly, you said in your original post that some pre-req's were incoporated into your education at B&S, so I'm wondering if it's just like Fortis in that sense?)
2 - Are there any time limitations on the pre-req's that B&S takes? Some of my classes are over 10 years old (A&P, English, Math, Sociology, Psychology, etc.). MCI told me I would need to retake Math, Chemistry and English due to time limitations.
3 - How much does the program cost without any help? MCI's is $40,000 and Fortis was $35,000 (approximately).
Thanks in advance!
- 0May 7, '12 by r2youngQuote from ohiostudentrnso how is the program? Im enrolled for the upcoming January LPN to RN class.......Thank you for the post! I am a 2nd semester student in the Parma, Ohio Bryant & Stratton RN program. This is also a second career for me, I was just curious what kind of scholarships you received to attend? I've had to pay through the roof and really don't know how I will be able to continue going there. Please help! Thanks again
- 0Jun 18, '12 by ronii3I was a member of the first graduating class, but I was in the second cohort. There were actually 17 of us not 18, one fell to the cohort behind us :/ ; anyway, I was wondering if you found a job and if so how that is going for you? Also, I noticed u said u plan on specializing, what are you thinking about specializing in?
- 0Jun 21, '12 by fashionq777Ronii3, just wondering if you have found a job yet and if you have been having a hard time due to getting your RN from B&S. I am currently in the program and heard that some are having a hard time getting employment because B&S is not accredited.
- 0Jul 21, '12 by ronii3I actually recently did get a job, I start the first week of august. sonce accepting this job offer I've also received two other job offers. When turned down from a job it was usually because of my lack of experience. I became an RN right after high school. Pretty much any of the HCA hospitals are more than willing to hire B&S college students. Also, I am currently looking for somewhere to enroll for my BSN. I plan on calling around to ask if they will accept my credits from B&S. So far, I did apply to one university which wasn't willing to accept many of my transfers. Needless to say I didn't go forth with the enrollment process.
- 0Jul 21, '12 by Amygrace84I have been accepted into BSC for fall and was was told the whole program can be done in early mornings. I am only free until 1 pm each day and they assure me that I can take the entire course of study and be done in 20 months and always be home by 1 pm. I have no problem with early mornings but since there is no class schedule available to view online I am afraid I will get 3 semesters in then find out I have to take afternoon classes and that the admission people lied. But at that point they will have my money. Is there any current or former students who can verify that all the classes can be taken in the early mornings and be done by 1 pm? I realize clinicals may run a little longer (I have been told up to 2 pm.) How many days each week did you need to do clinicals in each semester, and were your regular classes able to be done by 1 pm? Thanks
- 0Jul 22, '12 by ronii3I can only speak about my experience at B&S, but keep in mind that I graduated last year so things may be different now. When I attended, we did have morning classes but we also had afternoon classes. There were days that we had to stay until well after 3 and I believe we also had a class that ended at 5 pm. As far as clinicals, they always ended after 1 pm and the number of clinical days and classes that we had varied by semester. My toughest semester schedule was when we had two days of clinical and then one long day of class. Class went from about 830 a.m. til 4 p.m. I believe (one class in the a.m. and one in the afternoon) ....although at times the schedule was hectic at times, it was worth it in the end!
- 0Aug 10, '12 by ryanyAmygrace - I am enrolled in the program and just finished my first semster. I'm to understand that clinicals for this next semseter are going to be until about 3. This next semster was also harder to fit around a schedule. I can pretty much promise you that during this program there will be days that go past 1pm. Clinicals are currently 1 day a week in the second semster and then 2 days a week in the following semsters. The admissions reps did make it seem a little more flexible than it actually is, but not by a lot.
- 0Mar 4 by NurseJassieCan somebody pls tell is bryant stratton college teas test hard? i am kinda freaking out . Is it a great school? some people say the program is two year or may a year in a half , but i started off as a CNA now ill be finish MA in Aug & will be going right back to school no breaks for my RN i know aug is sometime away now but it will be here before you know it , hopefully being that i am a CNA, MA & becoming a nursing student it will help a little.
