anyone thats either used or sold valspar products knows that the quality just is not there. ace branded paints have been matginal at best. stay with your major quality brands like ppg, muralo, california, etc, and keep your customers happy and satisfied!
Valspar CEO likes his chances with Ace
After signing a long-term deal to supply paint for Ace Hardware, Valspar CEO Gary Hendrickson expects to ride the recovery to increased sales.
"The recently announced Ace Hardware acquisition will expand our retail presence in the U.S. and deliver additional revenue from Ace's private-label paint which we now manufacture and sell," said Hendrickson.
During a conference call with analysts, Hendrickson said the store-level decisions on stocking Valspar paint lie with the individual Ace members, but the co-op can certainly influence those decisions.
"The individual storeowner can make their choice of the brands that they want to carry," Hendrickson said. "The co-op makes it a lot easier for them though, to pick the brands that the co-op has agreements with."
Valspar will have a shipment and fulfillment advantage over paint competitors, he said, "and that's the big advantage."
Valspar is also planning an expansion in the United Kingdom through an alliance with retail giant B&Q. That deal will put Valspar branded paint in more than 300 stores in the United Kingdom and Ireland. But it's the United States that has Hendrickson most excited.
He told analysts to stay tuned for a another "significant retail program in the U.S.," but he said he couldn't talk about it yet.
"The Ace acquisition and the retail program underscore our confidence in the U.S. housing market and will position us well as the market continues to recover," said Hendrickson. "We believe that any investment we make now and the recovery of the U.S. housing market is a good one for the long term."
anyone thats either used or
Assumimg valspar will produce
Assumimg valspar will produce a top quality private lable paint for Ace, it is probably a good relationship since Ace Management was unable to operate the paint plants profitably or produce a top quality paint until lately since purchasing the plant from Valspar.

In Tuesday's State of the Union address, Obama proposed raising the national hourly minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 by the end of 2015. The current rate has been in place since 2009.
Obama's wage increase initiative was cast as a way to compensate employees at the lowest end of the spectrum for the increasing workloads they've had to carry in recent years and to better close the income gap between those at the top and bottom ends of the spectrum. Though some might see this as a trickle-down strategy for those employees, many employers are bound to see it as a trickle-up maneuver that will negatively impact their small businesses by reducing the number of people they can afford to hire. In addition, consumers will inevitably pay for the wage hike with higher prices.
While the president contends putting more money in the pockets of minimum wage employees means more money being spent to fuel the economy, he isn't taking into consideration that increasing wages at already struggling small businesses doesn't automatically yield more money into merchants' cash registers — but it does mean their expenses will rise. And if minimum wages rise, then wages for those earning above minimum wage would be forced to increase too. Rising expenses without a requisite rise in income means employers will have fewer rather than more people on their payrolls.
Perhaps state Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, said it best: "Our goal shouldn't be to raise the minimum wage. It should be to get people off it."
Minimum wage exists for entry-level employees, which often includes high school students who are doing just fine at minimum wage. The market dictates wages, and those at the minimum-wage level typically have a skillset that doesn't warrant much more than that level of income. If businesses need to pay more to get the employees they want, then they will do so without pressure from the president or anyone else.
The quickest way for those at the lowest end of the pay scale to improve their wage situation is for them to improve their skillset and job performance so they are justifiably paid more than the mandated minimum wage.

Slap Vote – Obama and Romney
Slap Vote – Obama and Romney by NIftyBytes
DescriptionAdd a little FUN to your election season! How? By slapping politicians on your iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone. Slap Vote is like that fun carnival classic "Wack-A-Mole", but with politicians. In this case, Obama & Romney, with assists from W and Clinton. The game is simple - choose who you are voting for. If you are voting for Obama, then game starts and you have to slap Romney as he pops up. Each time you do, you get a vote for your guy in the Slap Vote electoral college. And then the politician you slapped also spouts one of his stupider quotes. So Romney might say "I like firing people". Or if you are voting for Romney, and slapping Obama, he might say "I've been to all 57 states". It's fun and funny, and you'll probably play the other guy just to hear what his opponent says when you slap him.
We guarantee you will giggle and snort at what these pols have to say - and ALL THE QUOTATIONS ARE TRUE!
As more and more people play we divide the votes up by states and have have a REAL-TIME electoral college simulation. So play, and vote, and have fun often.
Oh and if you get low on lives, slap W or Clinton on the head for an extra life. And hear some from them.
Elections are serious, but you don't have to be serious ALL the time. So add a little levity by "Slap Voting". It's fun & funny!
You can also recruit your friends and family to help swing the vote!

Ethosuximide for Epilepsy
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Ethosuximide reduces the type of brain activity linked with absence seizures.
How Well It Works
Ethosuximide is effective in preventing absence seizures in children and adults.1
Side Effects
Ethosuximide may cause stomach problems, including:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Stomach cramps.
- Loss of appetite.
It may also cause headache, mild drowsiness, dizziness, and hiccups.
In rare cases, ethosuximide may cause a serious skin rash. Contact your doctor if you develop a rash while taking ethosuximide.
FDA Advisory. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and the risk of suicide. Talk to your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide in adults and in children and teens.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medicine to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few side effects as possible. After you and your doctor figure out the medicine program that works best for you, make sure to follow your program exactly as prescribed.
- Drug interactions. Many medicines for epilepsy can interact with other medicines you may be taking. This means that your epilepsy medicine may not work as well, or it may affect the way another medicine you are taking works. Some of these interactions can be dangerous. It is important to tell your doctor about all the medicines, herbal pills, and dietary supplements you are taking.
- Risk of birth defects. All medicines for epilepsy have some risk of birth defects. But the risk of birth defects needs to be carefully compared to other risks to the baby if the mother stops taking her epilepsy medicine. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, be sure to plan ahead and talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking epilepsy medicine during your pregnancy. It you are already pregnant, it is not too late. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your pregnancy before you make any changes to the medicines you are taking.
- Other concerns. For some people, ethosuximide may produce side effects or carry risks that are not fully known yet. Report any unexpected side effects or problems to your doctor.

NBC shows are in the midst of a 'smirk off' competition on Tumblr
NBC shows are taking a short break from competing against shows on other networks. Instead, they have been competing against each other in a friendly "smirk off" across their Tumblr accounts. Just as it sounds like, the "smirk off" consists of GIFs of characters from NBC shows smirking. The competition is a good example of a network creating social content in a way that speaks to Tumblr's unique culture. Read more

Here's a quick photo of some of the stuff I'll have with me:
The books, the posters and the limited edition prints of course. I'll also be bringing some t-shirts. The t-shirts are just whatever stock I have lying around the CAD office that I grabbed. None of the new designs, just leftovers of old designs no longer in print. I've got some of the Limited Edition Chef Brian Skull tees in black, some of the Winter-een-mas 2005 shirts, and I even found some Ted the Penguin shirts, one of the very first designs CAD ever sold.
Sizes for t-shirts are limited (as I mentioned, it's just what I have lying around) and they are first come, first served. So if you want the best chance of finding your size in something, show up on Friday.
I'll be back on Monday.

Accused Shooter Representing Himself
By Harold Hutchison
Nidal Hasan, accused of carrying out a mass shooting in Fort Hood, Texas, will not only represent himself at his trial, but is now claiming he carried out the shooting in order to defend Taliban leaders.
According to a Reuters report, Hasan made those admissions to the presiding judge. Hasan is facing 13 counts of murder related to the attack. The Obama Administration has categorized the shooting as "workplace violence" and not terrorism.
Will these revelations prompt the Obama Administration to re-think that designation, or will political correctness continue to take hold?

See USPTO Br. at 2-4. If the Court finds that the USPTO properly applied the patent statutes in issuing the patents and therefore reaches plaintiffs' constitutional claims, then those claims should be dismissed. As to plaintiffs' IP Clause claim, even if that Clause imposes a limitation on Congress' power to enact patent laws, Congress rationally exercised its power under the IP Clause to enact 35 U.S.C. § 101, as applied to the patents at issue, because there are multiple plausible bases for those patents. (See USPTO Br. at 5-12). As to plaintiffs' First Amendment claim, because 35 U.S.C. § 101 and the exceptions thereunder are consistent with and incorporate plaintiffs' First Amendment interests, patents validly issued under that statute do not violate the First Amendment, unless, under Eldred v. Ashcroft, 537 U.S. 186, 192-93 (2003), the statute does not fall within the "traditional contours" of patent law. Because 35 U.S.C. § 101 does fall within the "traditional contours" of patent law, plaintiffs may not maintain their First Amendment claim. (See USPTO Br. at 12-23). In their fifty-page opposition to defendants' motions -- which includes a mere two pages responding specifically to the USPTO's motion, see plaintiffs' January 20, 2010 Opposition Brief ("Pl. Opp. Br.") at 42-43 -- plaintiffs do not address the majority of the USPTO's arguments as to why plaintiffs' constitutional claims should be dismissed, or any of the Supreme Court and other pertinent authorities supporting those arguments. Nor do plaintiffs cite a single case -- nor is the USPTO aware of one -- upholding a constitutional challenge to a specific patent claim. As set forth below and in the USPTO's moving papers, the Court should reject plaintiffs' few substantive arguments forthwith and dismiss their constitutional claims. ARGUMENT THE COURT SHOULD DISMISS PLAINTIFFS' CONSTITUTIONAL CLAIMS A. The Doctrine of Constitutional Avoidance Applies to Plaintiffs' Constitutional Claims As set forth in the USPTO's moving brief, the Court should only reach plaintiffs' claims that the patents at issue in this case are unconstitutional under the IP Clause and the First Amendment if it first rejects plaintiffs' statutory claims, asserted against Myriad, that the USPTO improperly granted these patents under the applicable patent statutes. See USPTO Br. at 2-4. If the USPTO failed to properly apply the statutory requirements in issuing the patents -- which the USPTO believes it did not do -- plaintiffs will prevail on their claims against Myriad, the Court will invalidate the patents, and plaintiffs therefore will receive the only relief they seek. (See Compl., ¶¶ 102-03 and Prayer for Relief). In this latter circumstance, under the well-established doctrine of constitutional avoidance, i.e, that courts should avoid unnecessary constitutional questions, this Court should not consider plaintiffs' constitutional claims. See USPTO Br. at 4. Plaintiffs do not address any of the authorities cited by the USPTO, choosing instead to argue that "the doctrine of constitutional avoidance is inapplicable" because the invalidation of Myriad's claims pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 101 "will not necessarily invalidate the USPTO's policy [in granting the patents]." Pl. Opp. Br. at 43. However, plaintiffs' complaint -which plaintiffs conspicuously fail to mention -- does not seek to invalidate the USPTO's policy. (See Compl., ¶¶ 102-03 and Wherefore Clause). Rather, the complaint seeks to have the Court 2 invalidate certain specific patents issued pursuant to the USPTO's policy, but does not assert claims against the policy itself. (Id.); see also Pl. Opp. Br. at 1 (describing claims). Moreover, this Court has already held that plaintiffs' claims concern only the gene patents at issue. See Court's Nov. 1, 2009 Op. at 82-84 (noting that plaintiffs' complaint alleges the existence of a USPTO policy which is "applied to a series of specific patents and patent claims" and that these specific patents and patent claims allegedly violate the First Amendment and the IP Clause). Thus, if the Court invalidates the patents under 35 U.S.C. § 101, plaintiffs will have received the complete relief they seek, and the doctrine of constitutional avoidance precludes this Court from reaching the constitutional claims.1 See Allstate Ins. Co. v. Serio, 261 F.3d 143, 149-50 (2d Cir. 2001); USPTO Br. at 4. In addition, plaintiffs' assertion that "invalidation of the particular [patent] claims in this case will not necessarily invalidate the USPTO's policy," Pl. Opp. Br. at 43, is misleading. Should a final, binding decision by the Federal Circuit or the Supreme Court invalidate Myriad's patents under section 101, that ruling would apply to issued patents as well as patent applications, and would be binding on all patent holders and applicants, as well as the USPTO.2 Notably, under similar circumstances in a different case, counsel for plaintiffs asked a court to apply the doctrine of constitutional avoidance, by urging that 35 U.S.C. § 101 be interpreted in light of the First Amendment. Brief for Amicus Curiae ACLU for Affirmance in Support of Appellee at 15, In re Bilski, 545 F.3d 943 (Fed. Cir. 2008) (en banc), cert. granted sub nom. Bilski v. Doll, 129 S. Ct. 2735 (2009) ("[A]micus urges the Court, at a minimum, to interpret traditional patent doctrines so as to preserve the breathing room required by the First Amendment. If the Court finds itself unable to do so, amicus urges the Court to apply traditional First Amendment analysis to this claim."). Plaintiffs' assertion that there "are other such [patent] claims" that would be affected by the USPTO's policy, Pl. Opp. Br. at 43, is meritless. Plaintiffs have asserted claims based on specific patent claims they have identified, and other alleged patent claims are not properly before the Court. 3 2 1 See Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. v. Cardiac Science, No. 2009-1241, 2010 WL 10913, *8 (Fed. Cir. Jan. 5, 2010) ("We remind the district court and the [USPTO] Board that they must follow judicial precedent . . . ."). If the USPTO examination policies are inconsistent with a final, binding ruling, the USPTO would conform its examination policies to avoid issuing invalid patents.3 The Court therefore should only reach plaintiffs' constitutional claims if it first rejects their statutory claims and concludes that the USPTO properly applied the statutory requirements in issuing the patents. Morever, the USPTO did not, as plaintiffs contend, assert that plaintiffs' claims challenge the patent statutes as facially unconstitutional (see Pl. Opp. Br. at 43); rather, the USPTO asserted that, if the patents do not run afoul of 35 U.S.C. § 101 but are nevertheless unconstitutional, that must mean that section 101 is unconstitutional as applied to those patents. See USPTO Br. at 4 ("If, however, the USPTO properly applied the statutory requirements but the patents are nevertheless unconstitutional, then plaintiffs' complaint must be that one or more of the patent laws is unconstitutional.") (emphasis added). As the sole case on which plaintiffs rely makes clear, a statute that fails an "as applied" challenge is still "declared invalid" as unconstitutional, but only "to the extent that it reaches too far." Ayotte v. A ruling that Myriad's patents violate both the statute and the Constitution would not only run afoul of the doctrine of constitutional avoidance, but it also would invite alleged infringers to bring the USPTO into court in every patent case simply by claiming that, in addition to violating a statute, the patents also violate the Constitution. Such a holding would effectively countermand the Federal Circuit's rule that "a potential infringer may not sue the PTO seeking retraction of a patent issued to another by reason of its improper allowance by the PTO." Syntex (U.S.A.) Inc. v. U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, 882 F.2d 1570, 1574-75 (Fed. Cir. 1989). 4 3 Planned Parenthood, 546 U.S. 320, 329 (2006) (quoting Brockett v. Spokane Arcades, Inc., 472 U.S. 491, 504 (1985)). As discussed below, and in the USPTO's moving brief, plaintiffs' constitutional claims fail. B. THE COURT SHOULD DISMISS PLAINTIFFS' CLAIM UNDER ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 8 OF THE CONSTITUTION In its moving brief, the USPTO demonstrated that, assuming the preamble of the IP Clause limits Congress's authority to enact patent laws (a debatable proposition, see USPTO Br. at 6-7), any challenge to the patent laws under the IP Clause must be tested under the rational basis test. Id. at 7-11. Plaintiffs do not dispute this standard. See Pl. Opp. Br. at 41 (acknowledging the "rational basis" standard of review). The USPTO advanced several plausible bases for Congress's establishment of broad categories of statutory subject matter that would encompass the patents that are at issue here. Under rational basis review, that was more than sufficient to support Congress's legislative choice in enacting section 101, and in failing to narrow it to exclude patents like Myriad's. See USPTO Br. at 8-11; see also id. at 11 (citing Congress's 2007 failure to enact proposed legislation to limit gene-related patents). Plaintiffs' IP Clause argument is mainly based on the Declaration of Joseph Stiglitz (filed with Pl. Opp. Br.), who opines that the social costs of gene patents outweigh their social benefits, and that patents in this area, in his view, "may" impede innovation. (See, e.g., Stiglitz Decl., ¶¶ 26, 30). Plaintiffs contend that because the USPTO allegedly has failed to produce evidence to the contrary, the Court must find the issuance of gene-related patents "irrational[]." Pl. Br. 41. But a rational basis is merely a plausible basis, and the USPTO (along with Myriad and its amici) have pointed to several plausible bases for the patent system in 5 general, and for encouraging patents like the ones at issue in particular. For example, the fact that patents are intended to encourage discovery and disclosure of new scientific information -including about discoveries related to genes -- is a perfectly plausible basis for permitting such patents, and is consistent with the patent system's fundamental purpose of promoting progress in the useful arts. The fact that the gene-related patents attract investment so that new products and processes based on those patents can be developed and marketed is another highly plausible basis. Either of these bases easily clears the low bar set by the rational basis test. See, e.g., USPTO Br. at 9-11; Brief for Amicus Curiae Biotechnology Industry Organization, Dec. 30, 2009, at 22-24. While one might speculate, as does Professor Stiglitz, that some discoveries would have been made without the patent system, that sort of speculation is hardly sufficient to show that the 35 U.S.C. § 101, as applied to the patent at issue, is irrational. The Supreme Court's decision in Eldred v. Aschcroft, 537 U.S. 186, 192-93 (2003), demonstrates why 35 U.S.C. § 101, as applied to the patents at issue, is a rational exercise of Congress' power under the IP Clause. In Eldred, Congress had passed a statute extending the term of existing copyrights by 20 years. In an amicus brief, a group of well-known economists contended that the economic incentives created by the statute would have a negligible effect on promoting future creativity. Id. at 254-55. The Supreme Court, applying rational basis review, refused to substitute its policy judgments for those of Congress, "however debatable or arguably unwise they may be," and upheld the constitutionality of the statute. Eldred, 537 U.S. at 205. If the economic arguments made by the economists in Eldred could not serve as a basis for the Supreme Court to overturn Congress's extension of existing copyrights under the IP 6 Clause, this Court should not rely on the declaration of Professor Stiglitz to hold that 35 U.S.C. § 101, as applied to the patents at issue, is irrational. Moreover, the Supreme Court has rejected plaintiffs' suggestion that the USPTO must offer evidence in support of 35 U.S.C. § 101. See, e.g., Vance v. Bradley, 440 U.S. 93, 110-11 (1979) (rejecting argument that the government has to offer "current empirical proof" in order for a challenged statute to be sustained under rational basis review). Indeed, the Supreme Court has made clear that "a legislative choice is not subject to courtroom factfinding and may be based on rational speculation unsupported by evidence or empirical data," and that to overturn a legislative enactment as "irrational," plaintiffs "have the burden to `to negative every conceivable basis which might support it.'" FCC v. Beach Communications, Inc., 508 U.S. 307, 314-15 (1993) (quoting Lehnhausen v. Lake Shore Auto Parts Co., 410 U.S. 356, 364 (1973), and citing Vance v. Bradley, 440 U.S. at 111). Because plaintiffs have not even attempted to "negative" the multiple bases offered by the USPTO, Myriad, or Myriad's amici for a patent system that permits patents like Myriad's, their IP Clause argument fails. C. THE COURT SHOULD DISMISS PLAINTIFFS' FIRST AMENDMENT CLAIM In its moving brief, the USPTO demonstrated that the Supreme Court has held that the patent statutes promote rather than inhibit the dissemination of knowledge and are thus consistent with the First Amendment, see USPTO Br. at 13-16, and that those statutes, as judicially-interpreted, contain safeguards -- including the fact that "abstract ideas" and "mental processes" may not be patented under 35 U.S.C. § 101 -- which prohibit the USPTO from issuing patents that unduly restrict speech and violate the First Amendment, id. at 16-18. Thus, if the 7 USPTO properly issued the patents in this case because they fell within one of the categories set forth in 35 U.S.C. § 101 and not within one of the judicially-created exceptions to that statute, those patents do not violate the First Amendment, unless, under the Supreme Court's decision in Eldred, the statute's categories depart from the "traditional contours" of patent law. See USPTO Br. at 18 (citing Eldred, 537 U.S. at 220-21). Because 35 U.S.C. § 101 has existed virtually unchanged since the earliest days of the patent system, that statute is consistent with the traditional contours of patent law, and the patents therefore do not violate the First Amendment. See Eldred, 537 U.S. at 221 (finding that because Congress's extension of copyright terms did not "alter[] the traditional contours of copyright protection, further First Amendment scrutiny [was] unnecessary."). Plaintiffs do not mention, let alone attempt to distinguish, these principles, or the Supreme Court cases underlying them, choosing instead to argue that the principles are "at such a high level of generality" as to be "meaningless." Pl. Opp. Br. at 42. Plaintiffs' argument misses the point. If the patent claims at issue here fall within the one of the categories set forth in 35 U.S.C. § 101 -- i.e., as a "composition of matter" or a "process" -- and are not within one of the judicially-created exceptions to that statute, the only remaining First Amendment scrutiny is at a high level: namely, whether the categories in section 101 are within the traditional contours of patent law. Because they are, plaintiffs' First Amendment claim fails. See USPTO Br. at 18 (citing Eldred, 537 U.S. at 220-21). Plaintiffs' few other substantive arguments should be swiftly rejected. Plaintiff disingenuously asserts that the USPTO has argued that the "First Amendment imposes no . . . substantive limitation . . . on patent law." Pl. Opp. Br. at 39. This is an abject misstatement of 8 the USPTO's moving brief; as discussed above, 35 U.S.C. § 101, as judicially interpreted, is consistent with and incorporates First Amendment protections. Similarly, plaintiffs' argument that the patents at issue can be seen as "prohibit[ing] thought and knowledge" and thus restricting speech, Pl. Opp. Br. at 39, ignores both these principles and the Supreme Court's analysis in Eldred, as well as the fact that the USPTO routinely issues patents that can be said to restrict speech but do not offend the patent laws or the First Amendment. The telephone and telegraph are obvious examples, and contrary to plaintiffs' assertion, see Pl. Opp. Br. at 39, a patent on one of these devices does in fact prevent someone from conveying a thought over that device. See 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) (giving the patent owner the power to prevent others from "mak[ing], us[ing] . . . or sell[ing]" the invention).4 Indeed, despite the existence of such patents, as well as tens of thousands of reported patent cases, plaintiffs have not cited a single case that even considers the issue of whether a patent claim violates the First Amendment. Accordingly, plaintiffs' arguments that patents covering genetic subject matter may limit the free flow of information are inapposite. Plaintiffs' "impossible to invent around" argument, see Pl. Opp. Br. at 40, likewise fails to establish a First Amendment claim. As the USPTO previously explained, see USPTO Br. at 17, 35 U.S.C. § 112, as well as the judicially-created exceptions to 35 U.S.C. § 101, generally operate to prevent the issuance of patents that are so broad that they cannot be When the original telephone patents were in force, telephones were not sold, but rather were licensed under Bell's patents. See Dolbear v. American Bell Telephone Company, 126 U.S. 1, 551 (1888) (noting "`that there are now in use more than 100,000 electric speaking-telephones licensed by and paying royalty to' the Bell Company"). Any telephone user who failed to pay the license fee would presumably have been subject to a suit for patent infringement, in which American Bell could have obtained an injunction against further use of the telephone. 9 4 "invented around," and these statutes therefore accommodate any First Amendment interests. Moreover, plaintiffs' argument fails to establish the connection between the difficulty of inventing around (an attribute of all strong patents, like Bell's patent on the telephone) and the First Amendment. Plaintiffs contend that Myriad's patents "prohibit anyone from using the concept `carburetor' or, in other words, consist of a patent on all knowledge about and using the information embodied by the claimed DNA."5 Pl. Opp. Br. at 40. But the patents have no such effect; thousands of articles have been written discussing the genes covered by Myriad's patents,6 and there is no suggestion that these articles somehow infringe Myriad's patents, as they would if the patents truly covered "all knowledge about and using the information embodied by the claimed DNA." Pl. Opp. Br. at 40. If anything, the prevalence of these articles shows that the patents have well served the First Amendment interest in wide dissemination of knowledge. Plaintiffs' suggestion that 35 U.S.C. § 101 as applied to the patents here must be considered under the "strict scrutiny" test, Pl. Opp. Br. at 39, is meritless. Plaintiffs rely on R.A.V. v. St. Paul, 505 U.S. 377 (1992), which applied strict scrutiny to a content-based restriction on speech. Section 101, as plaintiffs seem to admit, see Pl. Opp. Br. at 39, does not Plaintiffs again fail to show how a DNA patent is qualitatively different than a carburetor patent for purposes of "inventing around." Given that carburetors remain in widespead use more than 100 years after the carburetor was invented, it is clear that the carburetor is very difficult if not impossible to invent around for some applications. See Myriad Dec. 23, 2009 Brief at 6 ("More than 18,000 scientists have researched BRCA1 and BRCA2, and published over 7,000 papers on the genes.") (emphases in original). 10 6 5 involve a statute that inhibits speech "based on content or viewpoint," so strict scrutiny does not apply.7 Finally, plaintiffs argue that DNA molecules unlike other chemicals are unpatentable because they "constitute natural phenomena and laws of nature," both of which are judicial exceptions to section 101. See Pl. Opp. Br. at 43; see Gottschalk, 409 U.S. at 67. This argument therefore raises a statutory issue, and not a constitutional one. The USPTO's position on this question remains as set forth in its Utility Guidelines, 66 Fed. Reg. 1092 (Jan. 5, 2001).8 Even if the Supreme Court's guidance in Eldred did not apply here -- which it clearly does -- the pertinent First Amendment scrutiny would not be "strict," but rather the "intermediate level of scrutiny" that is "applicable to content-neutral restrictions that impose an incidental burden on speech." Turner Broad. Sys., Inc. v. FCC, 512 U.S. 622, 662 (1994); see United States v. O'Brien, 391 U.S. 367, 375 (1968) (holding that a statute prohibiting the destruction of Selective Service Registration Certificates did not violate the First Amendment because the statute and regulation broadly "deal[t] with conduct having no connection with speech"). The Patent Act "plainly does not abridge free speech on its face," O'Brien, 391 U.S. at 375, because only one who imports, "makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention" can be held liable for infringing a patent. 35 U.S.C. § 271(a). Thus, even if the Eldred analysis were not appropriate, the Patent Act nevertheless would not violate the First Amendment under the appropriate O'Brien intermediate scrutiny standard: the IP Clause explicitly grants Congress the power to create a patent system to promote the progress of the useful arts, which "add[s] to the general store of knowledge," Kewanee Oil Co. v. Bicron Corp., 416 U.S. 470, 481 (1974), rather than restricting expression, and any incidental restriction on alleged First Amendment freedoms is accommodated by the judicially-created exceptions to section 101, which preclude patents on "abstract ideas" and "mental processes," see Gottschalk v. Benson, 409 U.S. 63, 67 (1972). The USPTO discussed this issue in its opening brief only to point out that plaintiffs, in addressing their constitutional claims, incorrectly stated that genes are simply information or thought protected by the First Amendment. See USPTO Br. at 20-23. Although plaintiffs criticize the USPTO for not separately addressing Myriad's method claims, see Pl. Opp. Br. at 38, plaintiffs did not address the method claims in their constitutional arguments, and the USPTO therefore had no reason to address them. 11 8 7 CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, and the reasons set forth in the USPTO's moving papers, the Court should deny plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment as to the USPTO, grant the USPTO's motion for judgment on the pleadings, and dismiss the complaint against the USPTO.

Rep. Grimm Urges MTA to Extend S53 Bus Route to Brooklyn VA
STATEN ISLAND, NY – Today, Rep. Michael G. Grimm (R,C-S.I./Brooklyn) sent a letter to MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota requesting that the S53 bus route be extended to include a stop at the Brooklyn Veterans Administration Medical Center. The S53's current route forces disabled and ill veterans to make a transfer to the B70 in order to go just an extra half mile to reach the Brooklyn VA.
"With the Manhattan VA closed due to damage from Superstorm Sandy, local veterans have no choice but to go to Brooklyn for their healthcare needs, and for some, the bus is the only option," said Rep. Grimm. "Transferring buses just a half a mile from the hospital simply doesn't make sense – especially for our elderly and disabled veterans who could greatly benefit from a more direct route that keeps them from waiting outside in the cold. As a Marine combat veteran, I always try to help those who have served our great nation, which is why, on behalf of our local veterans, I urge Chairman Lhota to extend the MTA's S53 bus route to the Brooklyn VA."
A copy of the letter sent to Chairman Lhota is attached and pasted below:
December 10, 2012
The Honorable Joseph J. Lhota
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Metropolitan Transportation Authority
347 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10017-3739
Dear Chairman Lhota:
I am writing to you to request an extension of the MTA's S53 bus route to include a stop at the Brooklyn Veterans Administration Medical Center. The S53's current route forces disabled and ill veterans to make a transfer to the B70 in order to get the essential medical treatment to which they are entitled. To add insult to injury, the transfer is only needed to make a half mile trip down the road.
This problem was made far worse when Superstorm Sandy caused extensive flood damage to the Manhattan VA, which in some cases is more accessible via mass transit. This hospital remains closed for outpatient services until March 2013 and indefinitely for inpatient services. Staten Island veterans now have no choice but to make the difficult journey to Brooklyn.
In government, we are often faced with complex problems that require creative answers. This is not the case with this issue. Extending the S53 bus route to the Brooklyn VA is common sense solution that will make healthcare far more accessible to our veterans. Many of them paid a hefty price to give us the freedom we currently enjoy, and this is an opportunity to give a little back in return. Thank you for your consideration of this matter, and I look forward to your prompt reply.
Michael G. Grimm
Member of Congress

Unique ID: LANCUM-ED5E96
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published
A Viking gold ring ring which consists of a double-banded hoop made from a slightly concavo-convex strip with the ends drawn into wires at the back of the hoop, which are then tightly wound round a constricted section of the strip; diameter, 24 mm (max); height at front, 13 mm. The bands are very slightly apart at the front and sides. They are both incised with a median groove decorated above and below with two rows of small, punched, apex-to-apex triangles, creating slightly raised lozenge shapes, although the spacing of the punches is irregular in places.
The form of the ring is closely comparable with two Viking examples also of gold in the collection of the British Museum, with only two coils each from Saddleworth Moor (Greater Manchester) and Ireland, although they are made of rods rather than a strip (registration nos. MME 1915,12-6,1 and 1849,3-1,27 respectively). The form is further paralleled by a distinctive type of coiled silver armring made in Ireland in the late 9th/early 10th centuries and developed from a simpler Viking type (J. Sheehan, 1991-2, 'Coiled arm-rings - an Hiberno-Viking silver armring type', Journal of Irish Archaeology, 6, pp. 41-53; the description of the Saddleworth ring as silver in the caption to pl. 6 is incorrect. Thanks are due to Prof. J. Graham-Campbell for this reference). A further example of this type was recently reported as Treasure (ref. 2007 T19)
Surface metal analysis conducted at the BritishMuseum indicated an approximate gold content for the ring of 83-86%, a silver content of 11-14%, and a copper content of 2-4%. The ring weighs 13.68 grams. The ring from Sedbergh would therefore qualify as Treasure under two of the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act: it is more than 300 years old and the precious metal content exceeds 10%.

Observer is a fictional character in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 television series. He is played by Bill Corbett, and appears in the eighth through tenth seasons of the series. Observer is a hyperintelligent, psychic alien from a planet of fellow aliens confusingly sharing the name "Observer". Supposedly, the Observers "evolved" beyond bodies into dark-green brains, contained in large Petri dishes. They are carried around humanoid host bodies, rendering their abandonment of their original bodies rather pointless. Thus Observer is, technically, only the brain which is being carried by the host body, but for all intents and purposes, he is considered a humanoid with brain separated from body. Observer joins the mad scientists after his planet is inadvertently destroyed by Mike Nelson. Like his colleagues Professor Bobo and Pearl Forrester, Brain Guy is deeply dysfunctional. Unlike Bobo and Pearl, Brain Guy apparently has a considerable social and sexual life once the Mads returns to Earth in Seasons 9 and 10. He is also said to have, as Professor Bobo put it, "B.O.". Observer denies this, claiming that he doesn't have a body, although eventually he gives himself a sniff and admits that he does, in fact, "stink".

- Ever feel restless and less than in love with your life?
- Ever wonder if it's good enough to be simply you, rather than a "rock star" or earning millions or hanging with the cool kids?
- Ever feel bone tired by trying and striving, yet still want and even need to help the hurting world?
- Ever wish you could find a better way to both slow down and take action, so your life is both one that you savor and one that better serves the world?
- Ever feel you lost something essential somewhere along the line and the time to find it is now?
Me, too! Here is where I explore these and lots more "how do we make a good life?" topics, working to stay away from cute answers and far, far away from new age platitudes, and to instead articulate how to savor & serve a good enough life, in hopes that might help us sustainably salve our sweet ole world.

I don't do straight book or product reviews nor do I do Amazon book campaigns except via Twitter if I have reviewed the book. I do interview cool people for the blog so if you are interested, tell me about you! Please send review copies to PO Box 10065, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

Big love oh you beautiful one!

Title: Tinkerbell the Woman of the Night
Date: Aug 03, 2011
this costume is WAY WAY too short, and i normally wear pretty revealling stuff. I found the size to not be an issue, and since im pretty short the recommended height for the size i got was 3 inches taller than me, and it was still barely to my waist (i wore shorts underneath). Its also really cheaply made.

Title: Worst purchase ever
Date: Jun 16, 2011
I was in a hurry and didn't read the other reviews before buying this costume. I regret that now. The costume was way to small, no where near the size it claims to be. It was made extreamly cheap and had a big stain on the shoulder. The wings were to heavy and kept folding over. It was a complete waste of money. Now I'm on the hunt for another costume for my daughter before we leave for disneyland next week.

Title: Tinker Bell Costume
Date: Nov 01, 2010
the costume is over priced and the quality is bad. The costume came with a hole in the shoulder and parts of the seam were unraveled. The costume is cute and it did the job however it is a little low cut and my daughter who is 14 thought it would be best to wear a shirt underneath it. I ended up keeping the costume (even with the bad seams and holes) because I couldn't find an comparable one in the store and didn't have enough tine for Halloween to do an exchange. Will not order again.

Title: Needs improvement
The costume was cute and my granddaughter really loved it until we started trick or treating. She was very upset when the tie in the front kept coming undone and the wings kept flipping backwards. This would be a great costume if these two issues could be corrected.

Title: cheap and cheesy
Date: Oct 30, 2010
The outfit is very thin and skimpy. There is nothing under it, so if you bend over the whole world can see everything. We are going to have to wear it with leggings. There is a silver tie in the front that is coming unraveled already and the wings are pink heavy and don't match. Plus the wings flop over. Very disappointed in the quality for the price. We'll be lucky if we make it through Halloween in one piece.

Title: Not too mature Tink
Date: Nov 25, 2009
This was a bit tight in the arms but fit well in bodice. Beware that its a bit open/low in the front and needs something under it. We added a skirt under it because there was no length to cover her bottom completely. The wings were very nice and the costume had some sparkle. My nine year old wore the 10/12 and it was a bit too short and needed extra's to keep it modest and appropiate for her age.

If the words "accounting software" do not immediately excite you, it's perfectly understandable.
The latest cloud-based accounting apps are breathing new life into accounting in the digital space.
Once upon a time, you had to make a trip to the local "big box" retailer to pick up an accounting application.
That is simply no longer the case – thankfully! Now it's all in the cloud.
Those accounting applications are quickly going the way of the dodo as they are readily being replaced by software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers.
SaaS uses the power of the computing cloud to put the accounting tools you need right at your fingertips, where you are in the world, with on-demand consistency. What's more, financial reporting apps also offer the benefit of automatically updating with click-free ease.
If you've been using a legacy accounting application, or worse, an Excel spreadsheet, to manage your finances, now is the prime time to transition your financial reporting to the cloud.
So what's stopping you from putting your financial reporting in the cloud? Is it concerns over migration? Security? Ease of use?
Perhaps it's some combination of all of the above. Whatever the case may be, in an effort to quell those fears and help you make a seamless transition to an accounting app, we've put together this list of five reasons to make the switch, sooner rather than later.
5 Must-Have Accounting Apps with Free Trials
- FinancialForce Accounting App for Salesforce
- FreshBooks Cloud Accounting Solution
- Zoho Books Online Accounting Software
- Netsuite OneWorld Cloud Accounting and ERP
- FreeAgent Online Accounting Application
Reason #1: Modern accounting apps are more intuitive
If you think that an "app" isn't quite an "application," think again!
The current generation of cloud-based accounting apps boast all the features of legacy, desktop applications and a whole lot more.
Case in point: FinancialForce. FinancialForce [Official Website] sports an intuitive, feature-rich interface that easily rivals what you might have seen in a desktop application.
But FinancialForce ups the ante by adding Salesforce support, real-time reporting, and detailed, multi-dimensional analysis, all within a single-screen interface. And that is the most striking feature of current accounting apps – they bring everything you need to a simple, easy to navigate user interface.
Those old Excel spreadsheets, time-tested though they may be, just can't compare to the ease of use of accounting apps like FinancialForce.
Reason #2: Apps put accounting on autopilot
Let's face it, unless you are an accountant, you'd probably rather be doing something other than managing your finances. Say you're a freelancer, for example. You'd rather be working in your craft than your accounting, right? Or, if you're a busy owner/operator, you'd rather be keeping the wheels of business turning, right?
Accounting apps take the dread out of the financial equation.
Take an app like FreshBooks [Official Website] cloud accounting solution. FreshBooks is nowhere near as bogged down as legacy applications and complicated (read: always broken) spreadsheets. FreshBooks just works.
Such an app puts easy time tracking and snappy invoicing, as well as expense tracking and financial reporting, together in a super simple interface. In a nutshell, FreshBooks stands out as exemplary of the simplicity of the modern accounting app.
Even without reading the help guide, you can get started with it from day one – a testament to just how far accounting in digital has come compared with the steep learning curve of older applications (remember the first time you used Excel).
Reason #3: Accounting apps grow with your business
Accounting apps scale alongside your business.
Zoho Books [Official Website] is among the most scalable accounting apps currently offered. What's more, Zoho makes a suite of business apps and provide an email service, making the company one of the strongest (okay, admittedly few) companies that can seriously contend with Google's lineup.
In Zoho Books you'll find integrated (and easy) invoicing, online payment platform integration, time and expense tracking, and totally free support. If you're already using another Zoho product, you'll also find it easy to access contacts and share data interchangeably with Zoho Books.
While Zoho Books is the standout offering for SMBs and freelancers, larger enterprises with team members distributed around the world will find similar features in many of the accounting apps currently on the market, but, as always, some comparison shopping is advisable.
Reason #4: Accounting apps work on an international scale
Because accounting regulations vary from one locale to the next, accounting apps work with different currencies, languages, and rules. Some apps, like NetSuite OneWorld [Official Website], can factor in international tax jurisdictions for more than 190 countries, making financial reporting a snap come tax season.
If your business is a large organization with a global reach, you really owe it to yourself to compare the accounting apps currently on the market side-by-side.
Reason #5: The QuickBooks switch is simple
If you are among the many users of Intuit's QuickBooks you'll be happy to know that the company now offers QuickBooks Online [Official Website], a cloud-based version of its esteemed financial reporting software.
QuickBooks Online makes it easy to send invoices, accept payments, track expenses, and even conduct payroll services inside your browser or on your mobile device.
Are you ready to make a seamless transition to an accounting app? Which one do YOU recommend?
If you've been clinging to an increasingly out-of-date legacy accounting app or an overwrought spreadsheet for too long, now's the time to make the switch to an app. Accounting apps have hit their stride and come into their own as the best way to conduct financial reporting in the cloud.
Sign Up for a Free Trial for these Accounting Software:
- FinancialForce Accounting App for Salesforce Free Trial
- Freshbooks Cloud Accounting Solution Free Trial
- Zoho Books Online Accounting Software Free Trial
- Netsuite One World Request Demo
- FreeAgent Online Accounting Application
GetApp has a comprehensive list of accounting apps, which is regularly updated for your convenience.
And we've got plenty of head-to-head comparisons to help you pinpoint the accounting app that's perfect for your business.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

A UW-Eau Claire jazz combo under the direction of Jason Craft will provide lunchtime entertainment from noon to 1 p.m. on the Central Campus Mall (rain: The Cabin, Davies Center). Refreshments will be sold.
The classic mystery film series continues with the Sherlock Holmes movie "Dressed to Kill" (1946), screening at noon and 7 p.m. Thursday in Davies Theatre. In the last film of the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce series, one of Dr. Watson's old school chums asks Holmes to look into a petty theft that the police find of little interest.

Roy William Neill directed the 72-minute film.
Summer Session Programs continue through Aug. 10. A complete schedule is available from the Activities and Programs Office, Davies Center 133, (715) 836-4833.-30-JS/LWG

You inspire me.
In spite of all the dreams I have, I sometimes lose focus.
A question I've asked myself several times during the last month is "where do I begin?"
It's not that I'm absolutely oblivious or that I haven't scanned the system in the past. It's simply that there's an added pressure to what already seems like a tedious process: after three years abroad I've returned to a rural, low-paced, isolated city in my country that is brand new to me. Chiloé.
I hardly know the city. I hardly know the people. I'm only now becoming aware of what major national institutions have offices here and which ones don't. I haven't scanned the specific way of reaching out and working with people that is used here. I barely know where I'm standing on the map. Seriously.
So, I feel lost. And although my dream of empowering women is stronger than ever, I honestly don't know where to start. Yes, I'm applying for a job, in the hopes it will be in the National Service for Women, and will pay well. Yes, I'm trying to figure out the city, and understand if an initiative in women's empowerment would capture interest and bring quorum to a workshop. I'm looking at national grants, that I may apply to so my ideas can take flight. But, I feel like I'm missing an even easier way to make my voice heard and for interaction with other women in my community begin.
What is it?
It is at times like this that I am absolutely aware of the benefits of an online community. In a town like this, where numbness appears more obvious than leadership, it's not as simple as observing local leaders and becoming inspired, or joining the local LGBT group, which doesn't exist. It's about becoming the local leader and inspiring others to do the same. So, where does an absolutely brand-new grassroots leader in my conditions get her inspiration from? From an online community dedicated to sharing inspiring stories, ideas, answers, methodology, and things I'm still not able to grasp in my beginner's mind.
With World Pulse I can not only ask my fellow sisters the question I state above, but I can search for similar doubts, answers and help that has been lent before, and find mentor's, teachers, and partners in my endeavors.
I just arrived to Chiloé 9 days ago and do not even have my own home at this time. My entire life appears to be on hold. But my vision goes beyond this temporary uncertainty. I am an agent of change. I have a responsibility, not only with my immediate neighbors but with the world, to be all I am at every moment, in every encounter. World Pulse reminds me this so swiftly, so strongly. Isn't it amazing that it can do the same for whomever allows it to do so?
dear, thank you for sharing
dear, thank you for sharing your experience here. Never lose your hope. Believe on your own talent. You are courageous person.
best wishes form my side.
Live and Let Live
Dear Rukamanqui
Dear Rukamanqui
Your journal says Explore. Discover. Cultivate. Don't forget that darling. See what Teresa Temweka our sister in VOC says: (http://www.worldpulse.com/node/44863) 'Sometimes one has to appeal to the larger community to bring about change in the smaller community.' Your larger community will lead you to the changes you so desire in your own life, which is your smaller commuity. From them you will get direction and insight. And the things which you are going to be doing will be big things. Limbo is when the growth happens, dear Rukamanqui. Just keep talking and listening to all around you and your ideas will come and grow.
All my strength to you in your unknown situation which will not remain unknown for long.
With lots of loving from Monica in France
Monica Clarke, Writer & Storyteller, bringing human rights alive.
I wish you 'Nangamso', that is: May you continue to do the good work which you do so well.
(A blessing from my ancestors, the Khoikhoi, the first people of South Africa).
Your heart won't be lost
The beginning of many stories maybe a little shaky, but it always picks up strength with time. You are starting a new chapter and the initial hiccups will soon give way to joy. For someone who has moved from town to town several times, I know the pain of moving and the loneliness(you are on your own, nobody knows you, you know nobody and must ask your way out for every small thing). But believe me, it will be ok. I am wishing you all the best and sending a lot of love your way. And yes, you can always confide in us, share and seek support whenever there is a moment of need.

First of all, welcome to
First of all, welcome to World Pulse! I enjoyed reading your essay; thank you for sharing your vulnerability. I can relate to at least part of your story - 20+ years ago, I was compelled to move to Hawaii, knew no one, had no job, did not know what was ahead for me. Fast forward - I am a domestic violence/sexual assault advocate and fighter for social justice.
Your have the passion and vision, and obviously the courage. Trust, and it will present itself to you. And with the World Pulse community behind you, how can you not succeed?
in peace,
You are strong. Moving to a new place and starting a new life takes tremendous strength and courage. Taking one small step at a time will lead you where you want to be. Your motivation and determination shines through your words. Hang in there....these barriers you have today will fade as each day passes.
One big step
Your article opened and flowed very well. I was really pulled into your fears and strength.
I think you've found a deep motivation within yourself and you realize that, whenever you need it, you can find others to help motivate you along your journey.
Good luck!

Cinematic Pulses is a collection of 80 sounds for U-he Zebra2 which aim at modern cinematic and hybrid scoring. Rhythmic pad sounds, accentuated arpeggios and propelling bass lines offer everything necessary for a pulsing underscore that creates a vibrant feeling.
The sounds are designed with modern cinematic scoring in mind, but they work great for any electronic and hybrid style.
Every patch is reacting to the modulation wheel adding more colors to the palette.
