The single white rose captured the old gardener's attention,
He lovingly cared for it, like it was his own grand-daughter,
The roses were just like family and friends in his eyes,
He gave them bright sunshine, and plenty of fresh water.
He had always planted roses in reds, yellows, and pinks,
Yet, it was the one white rose that he favored most,
The old gardener admired it's innocence and elegance,
A quality that the other roses just could not boast.
This precious rose was pure white, like new fallen snow,
Which only a cold, late November day could bring,
It's delicate petals were soft to the finger's touch,
Similar to that of a feather, in an angel's wing.
The old gardener was perplexed and astonished,
Only this rose bloomed through spring, summer, and fall,
Each of the other roses had withered months ago,
The frost and cold weather did not affect it at all.
With a smile, the old gardener took one last look,
Unknowingly, death would soon come without warning,
After he had settled down for a nap in his chair,
He drew his last breath, later on that morning.
His funeral was held on the very next day,
Loving words were spoken, as he was laid to rest,
His grand-daughter approached, with tears in her eyes,
As she placed the single white rose upon his chest.
The cemetery was a quiet and peaceful place,
Where family and friends gathered to remember,
A gentle snow began to fall upon the casket lid,
Brightening the gloom on this final day of November.
The old gardener's soul departed from this earth,
Lead away by a choir of angels, on delicate wings,
Then on through the pearly gates of heaven's garden,
Where the white rose still blooms, in eternal springs.

The Secret of the Mortician
Dead, but I got eyes
Prepares my body at the morgue
Opens the chest
Drains the blood from its nudity
Admires my body before it decays
After The process of embalming
His hands run all over
I'm still dead
He's satisfied
The next day
Writes an outstanding obituary
I sit on display

This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
I couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
A song about old promises
Made so long ago
Created and cremated
Ashes of the words I spoke
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
Memory of a mother
Shared my dreams and really cared
Long separated by the miles
Distanced from her golden smiles
I know I wasn't there……
For you
Would have placed
A magic carpet
'neath your weak and shaky legs
Would have raised
A strong west wind
Let you breathe with ease again
Would have bribed
God's venal angels
Come and soothe your endless pain
Would have vanquished
All the demons
And bring peace to you again
Be the child
I never knew
In a land
We won't grow old
Be the light
I always loved
Warmed my dark
And lonely soul
Be the girl
Playing games
In a world
The sun won't set
Be the laughter
Calms my heart
I never will forget
I won't forget, won't forget
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me cry
Couldn't bring myself to write it
'Til this darkened day arrived
Song about old promises
Made so long ago
Ashes of the words I spoke
I broke my promises, oh mama
Now you've gone away
I'm broken
Drowning in the pain each day
I'm drowning…drowning...drowning…drowning
This song is for my mother
Let her hear me…….

Too hard for me to say goodbye
For all apparent reasons why
Even though we all know it must be
Each heart will someday stop the beat
When the rhythm of life, and silence, finally meet
Yet I always seem so surprised
To find that death is part of life
Knowing that regret, will now haunt my every rhyme
The specter called "if only", will inhabit every line.
Wish I could arbitrate a deal to have gained a little time
Just one more talk with Sissy, to ease my guilty mind.
And the sun now sets on my regrets
I gamble on time and lose each bet
Thinking I'll move on and yet,
here I set . . .
Wishing for one more time
One more pun
One more smile
That will never come
If I could just recall the things you said that mattered to you most.
Memories un memorized
That now I'll never know
Years of conversation when I didn't pay attention
Times I should have said I love you
And somehow failed to mention
Then when you tried to tell me you felt your time was drawing near
Your selfish little brother pretended not to hear.
Even when you did your best, and tried to let me know
You'd made your peace and you were ready, and that for you . . .
It was simply time to go
Copyright © Kelly Crenshaw
My thoughts let go of a thousand memories,
Like faces, dates, times and places;
Yet, I can easily recall each and every detail,
On the day of your funeral.
O the grieving . . .
In the middle of a snow storm I followed,
And the wind blew back my long hair;
As we meandered down a winding cold path,
The wild storm paused in the trees.
O the weeping . . .
Snowflakes fell on me from the tangled branches,
Falling like crying tears cascading down;
I am lost and moaning in this forever, ever memory,
And now the snow drifts in the cemetery.
O the sadness . . .
A headstone is buried deep in the pure white,
And but one engraved word is revealed;
In this pristine cold, dead winter wonderland,
Only one word can be seen, mother.
O the lamenting . . .
Hidden beneath the snow . . .
I will treasure your arms last embrace mother
Till this heart stops beating . . . .

Deep in the earth, a crypt of rock
slumber guarded by casket locked
Lips grope silence 'ever more
rasping thought, remembers whispered lore
Outstretched palms the roots do clench
tranquility stilled by festered stench
And eyes, sleep caked, are propped ajar
ignites no life, but collapsed star
Burned blades sigh, Winds' dying gasp
bones brittle snap within her clasp
A lonesome howl the moon does draw
vigil broken, it twists its maw
Upon an arena of endless stone
the granite gates they've passed alone
And entered a world of burning eyes
eluded the judge of smoldering cries
A faultless gait, no stumbled draw
a reaping brought by scythe and claw
Opal edge which shrouds a cause
aberrant blade shapes nature's laws
Dictate a script, the stars can share
an open secret, a language bare
Steps continue, feet are drawn
across gray grass, undying pawn

His life was gentle, and the elements
so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and
bodies in unregistered cars idling softly toward oblivion
some quick to anger
some quick to profit
some quick for justice
some tigers lapping blood
some mothers still at 3AM
hands on shoulders with coos commanding
that in a tear and turned cheek there be 'integration'

we have rioted the last of our colors
bleated them with flexed toes to the wall at the edge of the universe to reverberate starless between
and madness
we have bleated the last of our colors
with centuries gone by without tongue, sockets or lobes
we will bleed the last of our colors
some quick to die
some quick to steal
some quick to burn
some quick to
lend me your car keys
in a night of full of Alarics
I will bury you
in a night full of piccaninnies
I will melt you to butter
in a night where flames are fishhooks
Sir I need you to step back please
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
we have cried Havoc
let slip
and with purple'd prose stamped this hollowed earth
We who have lived so long
shall with our breath turned mist
I need you to
stain only under stones
that pave with slippery breath
a headline for last weeks massacre
and tomorrow's graves
I need you to
I drew a line in the sand and you crossed it
They are not breathing
Look! Look there!
I will not.

The Psychostasia
(The Egyptian Funerary Rite)
For seventy days I've been prepared
With oils and unguents ever so rare
And with linen bandages to and fro
Wound and wrapped from head to toe
And on this journey I'm prepared to start
By enduring the "Weighing of the Heart"
With Toth's oversight we'll see whether
My heart weighs true against Truth's feather
Should it fall short the beast will devour
My soul to oblivion in my final hour
Yet should it measure straight and true
The Pylon opened I'll be ushered through
And then I shall fall unto my knees
And pray that Osirus hears my pleas
That he acknowledge and clear my tears
And accept my soul for a thousand years
And cleanse said soul of all its scars
And make me one with the canopy of stars
And bless my children and my wife
That they may join me in the afterlife
Copyright © James Burns
Flowers...beautiful flowers.
These flowers will not replace my friend.
Their beauty will soon go the way of life-
Fade and wither and then take flight.
Piled upon this mound of dirt to mark our sorrow,
Offered as a sacrifice to soothe our souls.
Petal nor thorn could save this rose.
Like flowers cut down in height of beauty,
This face that bloomed and wore big smiles,
Is covered here to rest awhile.
Then beyond the markers numbered many,
Placed in rows to make order of death,
I saw something that took my breath.
Flowers...colorful flowers...that filled
The field yet fallow...waiting for the day
When friends and family gather...and pray.
Flowers...beautiful flowers.

Lasting memories haunt a tearful mind
How distant the dreams that no one now owns
Etched marble, another name to remind
Lay in silent fields of flowers and stones
To search for days that will never be
and unearth youthful years that quickly passed
To stand in a field where soldiers are free
and know their torment is over at last
Eyes flow freely at a stone to behold
Brushing her hand across a marble name
Her fingers tremble for a son she can't hold
and years she will live with pain she will claim
Handed a flag that eight soldiers did fold
Knowing that her son will never grow old

*The Moaning Of My Heart
I laid my heart upon your grave
That winter day when trees were bare;
Their withered leaves fell down to brave
The chill of winter death and share
With you the frozen ground and air.
Cold tears of rain helped to impart
The gloom, as prayer some comfort gave…
But oh, the moaning of my heart.
I plucked a crimson rose that lay
Upon your grave as rain fell down
And joined my tears that solemn day.
I held it to my heart to drown
My hurt, then slowly turned around
To numbly make my way to part
And join with loved ones home to pray…
But oh, the moaning of my heart.
Then April came on quiet feet
To wake the trees with budding bloom.
Thawed ground gave birth, in Springtime heat,
To grass that hid the ashen gloom.
Now stung to life by Springtime's womb,
The golden youth of Earth gives start
To find new hope, new season greet…
But oh, the moaning of my heart.
I stand in shadow of death's sting;
Oh Dad, why did you have to part?
Help me to heal with reborn Spring…
But, oh, the moaning of my heart.

Death's Often Promises A Needed Relief
Death oft' walks paths both light and dark,
desperately shallow and sometimes deep
riding on purest truth so eternally stark
sometimes revealed in dreams we sleep.
So often as feared as a mad tiger raging,
with fangs showing and claws so long
oft' a remedy to that of our painful aging
saddest melody in that dying song.
Often sweet is it's gliding shadowy mist,
time and walls silently passing
seeking bright flowers on eternity's list
its great finality all encompassing.
Sadness is it's taking of the very young,
taken in such softened early bloom
joy stopped, life so tragically unsung
left behind heartache's empty room.
Sometimes that promise so eagerly sought,
when in misery and unending pain
comes with blessing of a last train caught
and the joy of much needed rain.
A gift when time has then sadly taken away,
joy, happiness and one's true love
bright sun shining on each and every day
showering a new light from above.

I can see myself at a funeral
And I can't defend myself
I can hear the stories about me
As I watch my friends in stealth.
I could have been a better person
And I can't change any past
I can see the truths around me
And I want to make them last
I want to see a tomorrow
And I can't believe we'll fail
I can see the history happening
And I feel a check in the mail.
I need to have been better
And I can't cherish what is not
I can hear the past coming
And I love all not forgot
I can see myself in heaven
And I hear my mom and dad
I can know the world is waiting
Am I the one that saw the bad
I did see things I love
And I loved the things I saw
I can feel the love of everyone
And I write the scene I draw
I can be gone and not be here
And I miss the things going on
I can forget each day not remembered
But my love for you's not gone

Another song written in middle school - edited of course. ;)
[Verse 1]
I'm trapped within these walls
Never to leave at all
I am the prisoner inside my own home
My spirit is broken
I do not believe
I'm locked in this chamber which I cannot leave
The needles that break the skin
The anger that runs within
I'm giving it all away
Just to stay alive
The needles that pierce my veins
It will never be the same
We're on pins and needles now
It's how we survive
[Verse 2]
They say he'll find me soon
Got to get out of this room
The blood will spill and he'll take what he wants to
I'll never let him through
He whispers in darkness, "I'm not who I seem…"
[Verse 3]
The four walls around me
They start to close in
I know I'm too late now
I know I can't win
So just tell me I'm crazy
It's all in my head
You're not the killer
And I am not dead
Don't tell me it's impossible
To start it all over again
Infection sinks through your pale skin
You'll curse the day that I'm dead

In great respect of the band I grew up listening to
as sure as Mom passed down Saturday Chores
for I had been chosen to scrub bathroom floors `
Yet a familiar sound would bring me to keep scrubbing
The red album, The blue album , The White album
Then .. Abbey Road , always remembering the sad look on
Ringo's face , something hard to understand underneath~
I get it now, what you were saying all those years ago ,
the many sad lonely tears , secret tears , secret fears
For Maxwell's Hammer was a real one . It wanted silence
Going back ..remembering when John Lennon died
I was in Arkansas saddened with the world .
Then seeing his face saying " Drag isn't it "
No .. this was not my hero in music and song .
he was a stand in hired William , he filled his shoes
bringing diversity to create so much beautiful music from loss
One left standing , alone;; grief struck on back cover ~
The other identity hidden, tried to be part of ..coming together
his world of secrets
He to suffers today , in fear , Faul~
Too many years gone by .let us tell the Truth. Let us be free
The very sad long and winding Road ~
Let us Bury our real Paul.
No more " Mystery tour "
No more fear
Let him be in peace ~

The 18th of December was her last day;
she neither knew the date nor cared to.
Gathered at the hospital, keeping vigil,
we couldn't overcome her fright, or ours.
The pain, too great to be driven away,
was only "managed" with IV drips,
needles stuck in bruised appendages --
bony things -- arms and legs, hands and feet.
Above the medicines and washes, we sniffed
her scent, which, more than her yet familiar
face, to us identified our mother --
a smell we never would mistake
for any other. It went quickly
as her body cooled. The rouged and pickled
carcass they displayed was more a statue
than a person. We planned to bury her
with homely tokens, like an ancient mummy:
a family photo, a brooch she liked,
a pink hairbrush, and the brass bell she rang
to call her keeper during her last years.
But, when the time came, I could not bear
to have her leave so finally;
I took the bell from her metal box.
And, now, I ring it -- not to bring a keeper,
but to recall my mother on her birthday,
and on many dark days when I need her.

My heart was in such pain
I felt like I was going to go insane
I just don't know what to do
And my eyes full of tears that distort my view
I fell to my knees and felt the urge
My muscle tighten and pin needles struck me like a surge
My body was warm and with feelings so confused
My mind felt sadness had fused
I could not conquer my fears
I just sat down and fell into tears
When some close to you passes on
It felt like a warmth has gone
So I raised my hand towards a box that was empty with no tissue
I first was embarrass and had a little bit of issue
All my friends hugged me and said sorry for your loss
So now I cry in my bed and toss

I cannot look I will not look
That's not you inside
Jaws of life are roaring
Trying to cut you free
Crimson are the car seats
Tears are all I see
I cannot look I will not look
That's not you inside
That body in the white bed
With tubes all hanging out
We all just stand in horror
While doctors run about
I cannot look, I will not look
That's not you inside
I've already seen the bandage
Wrapped around your head
I will not look inside the box
Now your eternal bed
I can't look I will not look
That's not you inside

I sift through his Taoist rants
searching the brilliance and madness
for something to make sense; to inspire.
And he does not insult me
with the dust of dead men
though dust is what remains.
Ash falls through my fingers,
as promised, plenty of his own decay,
pure and uncontaminated,
his spirit whispering remembrance;
his legacy blowing in the wind
captured in my heart and lungs.

Black Squirrels.....
Leave no shadow
Heads bowed in solemn faith
Cars weaving between stations of the
Cross; and old spanish tiled crypts
A glimpse, then another the casket lowered
The air, acrid with stinging ash of burnt metal; flesh
Fused with memories lost

Of dust, of dirt;
suspended, lost, remarkable.
Of no merit;
forgotten, under the tall trees.
And bury him;
No accurate history serves.
Under cross;
buried in sand,
buried in dirt.
His face will carry forth,
past this miserable state.
To birth,
to die;
forth not.
of man,
of earth.
Of dust, of dirt;
suspended, found,
frozen in time.

Today is sunny: with three dozen bikes,
some decorated cars, a pair of trikes,
two dozen Marines: all of the family
and toddlers to set their Daddy free
into the Great Beyond beyond the sky
where loved ones send their veterans who die.
Below our feet the stones give way to grass
where they are neatly trimmed; and as we pass
the names of strangers stare into the air
and we look back, wondering who lies there.
I won't step on a grave--I'll walk around
so not to insult those within the ground.
We ride at funerals honoring those vets,
brave men and women we have never met.

Here I am.
The dark settles in,
Reminds me I'm alone.
Ghosts of my past haunt me today,
I truly just want to go home.
Separated from my life today,
Barred from my destiny,
Wasn't meant to be my fate,
How could this happen to me?
I was going to sparkle,
I was meant to shine,
The only question
Remaining today,
Why did I do that line?
Crystal she cried out to me.
She swore I'd be ok.
She would never leave me,
She was here to stay.
She made me feel so special
Gave me such a high,
She made me not care as much,
Until she made me die.

As you sit in your car
All dressed in black.
You know,
It didn't have to end like this
Now as you think back you remember
The faint white scars etched in her fair skin
And the timid smile that hid years of despair
You remember that time your friends saw her crying in the hall
You sat there and laughed as they tortured her
The times you saw her sitting alone at lunch
She looked up at you with pleading eyes
"Hey, can you help me," they said.
You thought about it , but instead you pretended you didn't see her
And you left her there, sad and alone
That pleading look now haunts you
It begged somebody, anybody for help
But why should you commit social suicide for her?
You just kept walking away, selfish
Now though, you think back to those boring assemblies
About bullying and what it could lead to
Why didn't you just listen?!
Maybe you could have spoken up, or found her help
Its too late now though, as you walk up to her casket
To say your first and last words,
To a girl, whose real name
You never cared to learn
"I'm sorry…"

Glenn Turner and Randall "Randy" Thompson were the best police officer and volunteer firefighter in all of Cobb County, Georgia, until March 1995 (WWF Monday Night Raw and WWF Wrestle-Mania XI) and January 2001 (Raw Is War, WWF SmackDown!, and the WWF Royal Rumble) when their lives were taken away from their loving families by Julia Lynn Womack: aka the "Black Poisoning Widow." It seems that it was these two guys in uniform who married the same woman, especially when she was after their money, totaling hundreds and thousands of dollars, even in life insurance. Glenn and Randy have been killed by a deadly liquid by the form of Etheline Glycol rich antifreeze; Lynn Turner used it to spike that of lime-flavored gelatin (green Jell-O), sweet iced tea, and chicken noodle soup. Now, how cold-blooded was that? But to be honest, Maurice G. Turner and Randy Thompson, God rest their souls, really never should've met this gold digging assassin named Julia Lynn Womack (who's now dead) to begin with. Their families, their colleagues, and the citizens of Cobb County, Georgia, they still don't understand why the lives of these two men have to end in a tragic manner. They've got a bunch of whole lives ahead of them. But now that Lynn Turner, who killed both her police officer husband and her firefighter boyfriend, is dead, she can't hurt anyone else ever again. Randall and Glenn are no longer with their friends and families (including their moms), but their spirits will live on forever and they'll see their loved ones in heaven one day. And as for Julia Lynn Womack-Turner, she got what was coming to her and may she burn in the giant pit of inferno for all eternity.

I had a wonderful day, what could have went wrong
Went to sleep feeling like a brand new man
Laying in bed, sleeping so peacefully
Two guys walked in unexpectedly
They said wake up, no hesitation
Ten bullets in my back, no explanation
Was this a dream I'm gonna wake up from
No its not, I'm a completely dead man
Why me? Answer my question
I had a family and other love ones.
Now I'm gone, but memory lives on
How about you where do you stand?

She wrote a letter
Which I happily read
In Spring
Summer baked on
Autumn arrived with a chill in the air
Winter followed with snow
Then the call came
Aunt Stella had passed away
Two months shy of her eighty-seventh birthday
Could I travel to Chicago for the funeral?
My cousin's voice
Was anxious
Time was short
I would have to leave tomorrow.
The wind brought tears to my eyes
And I remembered why
Chicago was called the windy city.
The funeral was surreal
My cousin and I were lost in the room
Our voices echoed in the chamber
We were the only attendees
Where was the rest of the family
The funeral director nodded
He understood
More than we did.
Before the sad procession to the cemetery
We walked to her house
In no particular hurry
Talked old times
Remembered when
There, nestled under trees
We peered through
Rain stained windows
Looked inside an empty house
Sunlight streaming through a den door facing a back garden
We left quietly.
At the cemetery there was a delay
I began reading headstones
At random
Nearby were three
Aligned in a row
Each with the same last name
Following its own order of death
I made out a father, an uncle
And a young boy
Age ten
Standing over his grave
I caught a glimpse of something faded red and metallic
Chipping the frozen ground
I saw
A toy truck
How long had it been there
I could only guess.
As the Priest mumbled
Half forgotten Catholic prayers
I bent down and carefully
Pressed the toy
Back into the cold
Brittle earth
As it was
Meant to be
Years and years ago.
When the service ended
We looked at each other
My cousin and I
Thoughts and deeds
Of long ago
Brought back memories
I called out to him
Look after yourself.
He smiled and turned
You visit. Stay in touch.
The Priest remained
Where he was
The cold winter sun
Reflecting his bright colored vestments.

I saw you cry yourself to sleep last night,
I watched as you struggled to start your day.
I asked the Lord to make your grief load light,
And give you help along the way.
Forgive me for not staying longer,
But I really had to go.
The Lord called me, I could not linger,
Sorry, but it was time to go home.
Remember what you will of me,
No matter what, just know I cared.
Whether friend or family,
Remember all that we have shared.
Now I've made heaven my home,
You knew that's where I'd be.
I am not at all on my own,
And my soul is at peace.
I know its hard at the beginning
But I also know you'll make it through.
I hope it helps your heart to know I'll be waiting,
In paradise for you.

Imagine lakes of dreams
Blood contained streams
Imagine oceans that behold undiscovered beings
Imagine human life depended off of cheers and games
Man design's umbrellas
And eventually would play a part in acid rain
Imagine not wanting to smell another rose
Or touch another soul
Because of despair and shame
Imagine in the mist of your demise
You have the passion to rejoice and sing
Imagine driving pass shattered glass
The interior is soaked with blood stains
Your mind can't comprehend the fact
that it's a dead family in the next lane
Imagine dreaming for freedom
As a result by your neck you hang
Imagine for the sake of progress
You whip a man on his back and call him a slave.
Rage, Pain, Fortune, and fame
You don't have to imagine this
Because that's what life brings.

As the name suggests, the Bacchus wine tasting in Madrid, Spain, is a wine competition with such high quality wines that they would even tempt the Gods. With an elite panel of judges comprising Masters of Wine, sommeliers, journalists and winemakers, the week long tasting (15 – 19 March) showcased wines from across the world, although with a strong focus on Spanish wines.
This year for the first time, Europe Area Manager for Wines of Chile Alvaro Arriagada was invited to attend the event and represent Chile's wine community in the tasting.
Eight 'Gran Bacchus de Oro' medals were awarded for the most outstanding wines in the competition which included wines from Spain, Portugal and France, and a Uruguayan wine also took a top medal. It's clear that the judges already enjoyed a flavour of Southern Cone wines and hopefully next year more Chilean wineries will participate in the tasting.

A big reason for that is the return of coach Jon Judkins, who enters his eighth year at the helm, compiling a 123-75 record and a share of two Pacific West conference championships. He was honored as the 2012 Pac West Coach of the Year, his fourth consecutive accomplishment.
Judkins led the Red Storm to the 2012 Pac West championship with a 15-3 record, which led to an NCAA Division ll West Regional appearance. ...

A woman in northern Idaho has been battling a case of hiccups for months and she's hoping she will see some relief soon.
Mary Kay Keener says her hiccups started on August 28, 2006 and they haven't stopped since. For nearly eight months, the sound of Mary Kay's hiccups have been filling the area of a store where she works and despite trips to the doctor, prescription drugs and trying just about every hiccup remedy known to man, her hiccups continue to make her life miserable.
Mary Kay says the hiccups make her sick to her stomach.
Members of the community have started a fundraising campaign to help collect money so Mary Kay can see a specialist out of state, but until that happens, she says she continues to wait and pray that the hiccups will stop.

Eye care
As your employer Cardiff University provides members of staff who are "users" of display screen equipment (DSE) with an eye and eyesight test. These tests are carried out at the Cardiff University Eye Clinic and approval will be needed in advance from your Head of School or Directorate or other appropriate authorised members of staff.
The University will contribute £50 towards the cost of your spectacles or contact lenses if they are required specifically for DSE at work. In general, if spectacles and lenses worn by the DSE User are required for both general use and DSE use, a contribution cannot be made as this would give rise to a taxable benefit. Please contact the Eye Clinic for more detailed information.
Cardiff University student optometrists offer a free eye examination to all members of staff and the general public during term time. These examinations are run as part of the students training to professional standards, and are an essential part of their degree, leading to their final qualification.

Three French companies are discussing a bid to replace the AMX 10RC and other French armored vehicles. (Wikipedia)
- Filed Under
PARIS — Systems specialist Thales has entered talks with armored vehicle builders Nexter and Renault Trucks Defense (RTD) as the three French companies seek to make a joint offer to build a new multirole combat vehicle and light tank that could be worth about 4 billion (US $5.5 billion), industry executives said.
The talks come as the Direction Générale de lArmement (DGA), the French governments arms procurement office, has launched a tender restricted to the three companies for 2,080 units of the Véhicule Blindé Multirole and 248 of the light tank, Engin Blindé de Reconnaissance et Combat, business daily Les Echos reported.
The DGA has launched the tender for manufacture of 2,300 armored vehicles to replace the VAB [Véhicule de lAvant Blindé], Sagaie and AMX 10RC, which are folding under the weight of years, the newspaper said. The deal is worth more than 2 billion.
An industry executive said a figure of about 4 billion is a realistic estimate.
Nexter and RTD had signed an agreement on bidding to build the multirole vehicle and are continuing talks after the pact ended in December, a second executive said.
Thales has joined the talks, the executive said.
The three also would work on the light tank to try to lock up the French market.
Thales specializes in command, control, communications and information networks, while Nexter and RTD build vehicles.
A target 1 million unit price for the multirole combat vehicle includes only the platform, omitting onboard electronics and systems. Once those are included, 1.5 million iss closer to the real figure, the executive said.
Based on that latter estimate, the combat vehicles would cost 3.12 billion, excluding a 20 percent sales tax.
A second executive said the unit price for the light tank is estimated at 4 million to 4.5 million, totaling up to 1.1 billion, excluding sales tax.
That price reflects a sophisticated electronic turret, a 40mm gun and missiles. The two programs would cost an estimated total of 4.2 billion.
An Army spokesman said of the planned 2,080 combat vehicles, 1,722 would be a light version and 358 heavy.
A limited competition for the armor programs is seen as valid under Article 346 of the European single market pact, which allows a domestic tender if essential security interests are concerned.
Spokesmen for the DGA, Nexter, RTD and Thales declined to comment.
A lack of British and German open international tenders for armored vehicles is seen as the background to the French, domestic-only approach.
This is extremely sensitive, the executive said. A strategic interest allows a waiver of the foreign tender required under the European single market, the executive said.
The French Army expects to receive the first 24 multirole vehicles in 2018 and the first four light tanks in 2020, Army chief Gen. Bertrand Ract-Madoux told the French parliaments defense select committee Oct. 16.
The vehicles are part of the Scorpion land systems modernization program, which the Army expects to launch this year, Ract-Madoux said.
The program launch has been delayed by two years and the budget has been halved, he said.
Separately, the arms procurement office has awarded Thales a contract for a strategic study to define the overall system architecture for the armed forces network-centric operations in 2020-25, the company said in a Jan. 29 statement. ■

As we are increasingly dependent on our digital technology — and our electrical delivery system is increasingly unreliable — I would respectfully suggest that we need to rethink the entire arrangement.
When you add the fact that loss of power puts our rapidly aging population at deadly risk and costs our business communities and municipal governments millions of dollars in cleanup costs and lost revenues, it is my considered opinion that putting everything back up in the air to await the next storm is probably not a very good strategic plan.
Insanity, by definition, is doing the same expensive thing over and over expecting a different result. We need a better plan going forward, one that does not strategize how to restore lost power, but rather has a goal of preventing the loss of power in the first place.

Allen Americans beat Fort Worth Brahmas, 4-3, in shootout; Two teams play again on Saturday
Here is the Fort Worth press release:
FORT WORTH, Texas (October 26) – The Fort Worth Brahmas of the Central Hockey League opened their regular season Friday night with a 4-3 shootout loss to the Allen Americans.
The Brahmas offense was powered by three forwards returning from last season. Second-year winger Phil Fox got the Brahmas scoring started at the 4:15 mark of the first period, tying the score at one goal apiece. Adam Hogg followed Fox's goal up with one of his own as he beat Allen netminder Steve Silverthorn between the legs on a penalty shot at the 7:00 mark.
With the Brahmas down 3-2 late in the third period, Chad Woollard evened the score as he took a centering pass from Sy Nutkevitch and fired it over Silverthorn's left shoulder and into the net. For Woollard, who scored a team-high 26 goals last season, it was his first of 2012-2013.
After a scoreless overtime period, the Americans scored on three of their four shots in the shootout to seal a 4-3 victory in the first of 17 matchups between Fort Worth and Allen.
Scotty Howes scored twice before being given a game misconduct for verbal abuse of the official midway through the second period. Howes now has four goals in three games this season. Brett Skinner was credited with the game-winner as he scored the second goal in the shootout.
Fort Worth goaltender Larry Sterling made 36 saves on 39 Allen shots but took the loss in his first start for the Brahmas since the 2005-2006 season. Former Brahma Silverthorn stopped 25 of 28 to earn his third victory of the year.
The Brahmas and Americans face off again Saturday, October 27 at 7:30pm at the NYTEX Sports Centre. All fans are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes to the game as there will be a costume contest and prizes awarded.
In an effort to reward fans for their patience this off-season, the Brahmas have reduced individual ticket prices, as well as lowering the price of full-season, half-season and 11-game ticket packages for the 2012-2013 season. For more ticket information, please contact a Brahmas sales representative at 817-336-4423 or visit www.brahmas.com.

Safety labeled just as important as fireworks at Cooper's Lake shows
The Pyrotechnics Guild International won't just be hauling in tons of fireworks to light up the sky over the Cooper's Lake Campground during its annual convention this week, it will be bringing in a medical crew to safeguard the health of more than 30,000 people.
PGI will have emergency medical technicians and fire crews on site. It also will have a two-bed emergency room with at least one doctor on duty at all times, said Dan Creagan, president of the guild.
"We emphasize to our people you have to do this the right way," said Creagan. "Safe distance, containment, we usually exceed them. We make darn sure whatever we do is a step beyond what is required."
The guild will present four nights of public fireworks displays throughout the week.
Northwest EMS Services of McKees Rocks, which has worked events at the site before, will have units on standby in accordance with state health regulations, Creagan said.
Those regulations require one staffed and Pennsylvania-licensed ambulance for a special event attended by 5,000 to 25,000 people, and two staffed ambulances for between 25,000 and 55,000 attendees.
Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Department will provide additional assistance as needed, Creagan said.
The Pyrotechnics Guild has small water tanks and pumps, but it needs back-up from Slippery Rock's large fire trucks, although Creagan said it is "extremely doubtful" they would be needed.
The guild doesn't normally have problems at its conventions, which showcase the latest in fireworks displays. In 40 years there have been some minor injuries among attendees, such as heat exhaustion and particles in the eyes, but nothing large enough to result in an insurance claim, Creagan said.
Creagan said PGI is coordinating its efforts with local hospitals, PennDOT, state and local police and life flight services.
All fireworks will be fired from a field adjacent to Cooper's Lake campground, said Creagan.
Debris left by detonated fireworks will be picked up by a team of 40 to 50 people each night. Detonated fireworks leave paper, paste and string, all of which are all biodegradable.
Creagan said the guild has a controlled burn permit, and the remnants of paper and string are destroyed each night.
"We don't want to take off and leave a pile of junk behind," he said.
Cooper's Lake Campground sits next to Moraine State Park. Assistant park Manager Jake Weiland is anticipating a higher volume of visitors to Moraine this week.
"There are going to be many folks on the lake along the north shore," he said. "And I'm certain there will be many blankets sprawled out in the mowed areas with families watching the shows."
Moraine State Park closes at 8 p.m., but Weiland said people who stay to watch fireworks won't be ordered to leave.
The park manager is strongly encouraging people to purchase tickets to public displays, because a good view is not guaranteed at Moraine.
"Your best bet is to purchase the ticket and enjoy the show from Cooper's Lake," Weiland said.

""When studies attribute significant net emissions reductions to biofuels, it is usually because they make one or more of the following assumptions—each of which is problematic at best: that food production will decline as biofuel production increases, and that countries will not implement subsidies or other measures to counteract that effect; that future increases in crop yields will outpace ..."

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. � Dana Tyrell�s short-handed goal at 17:25 of the third period proved to be the game-winner as the Springfield Falcons took a two-games-to-one quarterfinal series lead over the Providence Bruins with a 3-2 victory on Saturday night.
Providence won Game Two on Matt Fraser�s goal 3:54 into the extra period Friday, while the Falcons took Game One, thanks to Andrew Joudrey�s overtime score on Wednesday.
Providence goalie Niklas Svedberg made 10 first-period saves to keep the game scoreless on Saturday.
In the second period, the P-Bruins took a 1-0 lead at the 10:27 minute mark when Matt Lindblad slipped the puck under Springfield goalie Mike McKenna for his first post-season goal. Seth Griffith was credited with the assist.
Just under five minutes later, the Falcons tied it when former P-Bruin Carter Camper beat Svedberg for his first goal of the series. Ryan Craig and Darryl Boyce earned the assists.
Springfield would take its first lead of the game 2:32 into the third period on a Jake Hansen goal with assists to Lukas Sedlak and Matt Taormina.
The Falcons made it a two-goal lead with 2:35 remaining on Tyrell�s short-handed goal, but Providence answered less than a minute later when Lindblad hammered home his second goal of the game.
Providence pulled Svedberg in the closing minute, but the P-Bruins couldn�t get one past McKenna, who made 42 saves in the game. Svedberg finished with 22 saves for Providence.

Recently, I chaperoned a field trip to the Art Institute of Chicago.
It brought back museum memories from my childhood. When I was a kid, I practically lived at the Denver Museum of Natural History. Not because I loved the place, but because that was where my class took field trips every year. It was also where my well-meaning parents carted me many a weekend.

People gather across the street from the Planned Parenthood office in Hattiesburg for an anti-abortion rally.
- Filed Under
Members of the Pine Belt Life League and Pro Life Mississippi stood across from the Planned Parenthood office in Hattiesburg on Friday afternoon, singing religious songs, gathering in circles for prayer and holding large signs with anti-abortion slogans and graphic photos of aborted fetuses.
Tanya Britton, spokeswoman for Pro Life Mississippi, said her organization held the rally to expose what she said are the truths behind Planned Parenthood. According to Britton, Planned Parenthood targets minority and poor women to perform abortions for financial gain.

Hi, I'm a bike rider and not a horse rider but I thought someone here can tell me what the correct way for a cyclist to overtake a horse is.
The other day I was cycling along a single track road (paved) and came across a group of horse riders (about 6). The riders at the back of the group heard me and they went into single file. I overtook slowly leaving as much of a gap as possible (say 1.5m). None of the horses got spooked - but the lady on the leading horse might have been cos she shouted something at me a few minutes later (advice I think - not abuse). Couldn't really make out what she was saying cos I was concentrating on manoeuvring onto the main road.
So, can a horse rider let me know what they would prefer. I know they say you should take sensible precautions etc, but if you don't know horses this may be too vague. Should I give lots of advance notice by shouting while I'm still some distance of - and if so what? Does the law say I need to ask permission to overtake or is it polite enough to let them know I'm about to overtake? And what about the horses further along the convoy - do I need to keep signalling or do horse riders have a system for warning the riders ahead?

Analysis of indoor-indoor and satellite/HAP indoor propagation effects
Tila, F., Shepherd, P. R. and Pennock, S. R., 2001. Analysis of indoor-indoor and satellite/HAP indoor propagation effects. In: 11th International Conference on Antennas and Propagation (ICAP - 2001), 2001-04-17 - 2001-04-20, Manchester.

Satellite and high altitude platforms (HAPs) are an important concept for next generation fixed and mobile communications. To predict indoor field strength levels from such distant transmitters, modifications to the standard indoor ray-tracing concept are proposed. These modifications require an array of virtual transmitters to be placed around the building under test. A range of diversity generation and combining techniques are considered to improve the performance of a 17 GHz indoor to indoor system. Diversity gains are computed and typical generation and combining strategies compared and ranked based on cost, complexity and performance. Investigation of a HAP to indoor environment shows the weakness of illumination from directly overhead

Lively just officially broke up with Leonardo Dicaprio, so she's on the rebound and an easy target, as Gosling's "Crazy, Stupid, Love" character might suggest. In real life, Gosling and Lively dated at the end of last year and were spotted doing some serious handholding at… wait for it… Disneyland. If his schedule is open, then this could be a match.

Desert Sage has just passed its twelfth anniversary, time for the annual review of what it is intended to be. One meaning is of a wise person living in the desert.
A second dictionary meaning is "an insignificant shrub which can thrive in a dry environment." Some readers feel it is the first meaning that characterizes the column, some feel it is the second.
Whichever of those it is, it is also an expression of local opinion, especially now that Desert Sage is written by four local residents. If the saying is true that "all politics is local," it is a vital function of a local newspaper to reflect local thinking. The Headlight may not be your best source of news in Siberia or Argentina, but it certainly is the best for what is happening in Luna County, including being the best forum for local views. This means local opinions on matters of world or national importance as well.
The editor can choose from a lot of material for this page, ranging from anarchists to lobbyists for major industries promoting their respective self-interests. It is so much better when there are local writers who express what folks here are thinking.
Our area suffers from a lack of leadership, although there are a few great exceptions to that generalization. A lively exchange on the opinion page and a continued call for transformational change in the apathetic attitude of acceptance of a life predestined to failure can be a means for breaking the local inertia barrier and a vision of something better for Luna County's inhabitants. Thus the vital importance of this page and columns such as Desert Sage.
The community of Columbus is a good example. Every year a small group of dedicated local residents put together a proposal based on the charter school model for a high school in Columbus, which currently lacks schooling past sixth grade. Every year, the Deming school district aggressively fights the proposal. A few dozen people turn out in support, but the majority of the population, including most parents, are not heard from, and the state education bureaucrats assume there isn't much local support to counteract the vociferous opposition of the school district. The net result so far is that the district this year is removing the sixth grade from Columbus, subjected to long bus rides, checkpoint searches and a disconnect between school and community. It could be assumed that the reason for moving the grade and refusing to organize a high school was declining enrollment, but in fact the opposite is true. The District prefers to load the kids on buses. The situation is unlikely to change unless the community stands up for itself. Grass roots leadership is needed to make that happen. If it were not for this page in the Headlight, such opinions would never even be heard. We do not have to live at the bottom. The vision of a thriving binational, bicultural and bilingual county building on its border location as a center for economic and tourism activity instead of bemoaning the border as a problem is shared by a few but has. This page is a good place to start in turning all that around.

[UPDATE: GM responds to this piece here]
With environmentalist groups on the warpath over forthcoming 2017-2025 CAFE standards, trucks sitting on lots, and the Flint HD Pickup plant idled for much of the month, this is probably not exactly the moment GM might have chosen to put $328m into tooling for new full-sized pickups to be built at Flint. But time and the market wait for no company, and because the Silverado is GM's single best-selling product, the investment isn't tough to justify:
"Truck sales play an important role in the success of General Motors," said Joe Ashton, UAW-GM Vice President. "We are confident that the next-generation of trucks will continue to be an important source of revenue for the company and jobs for our members
In case there's any confusion though, GM is making perfectly sure nobody thinks they're making any product choices because of union demands. At the investment announcement ceremony at Flint, Cathy Clegg, GM vice president of labor relations told Reuters [via Automotive News [sub]]
We certainly aren't going to make a decision and make a commitment solely as a way of getting an agreement. If the market doesn't drive it, we can't do that
So, how is that truck market?

'The back part of the apartment was all engulfed'
MILWAUKIE, Ore. - Witnesses said a propane tank exploded at a Milwaukie apartment complex during a two-alarm fire early Wednesday morning.
No one was seriously hurt. The Red Cross said the fire put 18 people out of their homes.
Clackamas county firefighters responded to multiple reports of an apartment fire at the Westview Villa Apartment Complex on Westview Avenue in Milwaukie just after 1 a.m.
Firefighters said working smoke detectors woke up many of the residents during the night, likely saving their lives.
Josh Salazar, who lived in the unit where the fire was most intense, was treated briefly for smoke inhalation but later returned to the scene and spoke with KATU News.
"The heat was pushing up the stairs and I got a good suck-in of it," said Salazar. "The back part of the apartment was all engulfed."
Salazar said he tried unsuccessfully to put the fire out and then carried his grandmother down the stairs to escape as the fire grew.
"She was disoriented so we were just trying to get her out as fast as possible."
He said he lost a number of irreplaceable mementos, including family photos and his wedding ring, which he takes off at night. Salazar, along with his brother, grandmother and new wife were able to escape.
The central apartment unit in the complex was heavily damaged and adjacent units were also damaged. Firefighters said it took about an hour to put out the flames.
It's unclear what caused the fire. The Red Cross is assisting those displaced by the fire.
No damage estimate has been released.

On Wednesday, Mike Dickinson, a Virginia Democrat running to replace Eric Cantor, R-Va., in the House of Representatives, compared gun owners to children in a message on Twitter. Earlier in the day, he said guns should be "titled" and registered just like cars.
"Gun owners are like little kids right now. They all the rights but none of the responsibility (sic). With rights comes responsibility," he tweeted.
One person said Dickinson should either "quit huffing paint thinner or quit twitter."
"Reading your tweets is like watching Idiocracy," added "Chair Force One."
One person, however, expressed hope he would win the election "so you can use ARMED Govt agents to disarm these gun owners." We were informed by email that individual was being facetious with his comment.
In another tweet, Dickinson said that anyone who sells a gun should be responsible if that weapon is used in a crime, making a comparison to bar owners who sell alcohol to those who drink and drive.
"If you as a private person sell someone a gun and it is used in a crime you should be held civilly responsible," he said.
"If you sell a gun and it ends up being used in a crime or shooting- you should be held responsible," he wrote in another message.
"Gun retailers should be as well if a gun is used in crime," he added in another tweet.
Dickinson, however, said he is not for "removing guns," but compared them "to the norovirus" and made it clear he wants them to be treated like vehicles, and all sellers held responsible for actions taken after the sale.
He also suggested every state have the same gun control laws.
"If every state had same gun control laws, America would be healthy. However we do not. We have some sick states that get everyone else ill," he tweeted.
He also went after the NRA, saying the organization should fight for abortion and LGBT rights since it supports freedom.
Recently, Dickinson attacked Fox News and suggested the FCC "monitor and regulate" the network.
Since that report, Dickinson has agreed to debate this writer on Feb. 26 at 5 p.m. Pacific time, here.

Author Bill Gibbons published a collection of short stories set on the Eastern Shore in January.
- Filed Under
L. William (Bill) Gibbons of Mardela Springs
What type of art do you create:
I've always been interested in art, I majored in fine arts while attending University of Delaware and working full-time for DuPont in the early 1970s, following a four-year enlistment in the Air Force. Due to job-related transfers to Atlanta and Tampa, I was unable to pursue that interest.
After early retirement and moving back to this area where I grew up on the family farm near Salisbury, I eventually put myself back in college full-time at Salisbury University at the age of 63. Positive responses to my essays there prompted me to start writing a novel, the untidy plot of which had been growing in the recesses of my mind for the previous decade. My only prior published work was as a contributing columnist at The Daily Times on the topic of real estate sales and investment.
College was again interrupted when, at the age of 65, I became a father, for the first time, of a baby girl. I finished the novel, "The Fourth Marker," while working on other works, including several short stories, guest blog posts on California- and Texas-based sites, an essay broadcast on local NPR stations and guest lectures at SU.
Describe your work:
My collection of short stories, all set on the Eastern Shore, was published in January 2013, titled "Marrow Bone Road And Other Tales." My novel, "The Fourth Marker," also set on the Eastern Shore, placed in the quarterfinals of the 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and has recently been published. Other projects include a novel, tentatively titled, "The Gatekeeper," and a children's picture book which I hope to have completed and published for my daughter's second birthday in October.
When did you start making your art?
During my latter-day attendance at SU, starting in the fall of 2009, I began my first work of fiction on Thanksgiving semester break. Since then, although college was interrupted by my daughter's arrival, I am constantly considering essay topics or story plot lines.
What inspires you?
Travel and exposure to other cultures, other languages and other perspectives allows me to look at issues from different angles and see a story or essay staring back at me. I lived in Japan and traveled there and around Europe in the 1960s, then traveled in Asia and Europe again in this century. In the interim, I lived in many areas in the U.S. and traveled in most states.
Those experiences provide many different backgrounds against which I can view questions and possible answers which I then treat in my writing. Questions inspire my search for answers. Those answers inspire new questions, or treatment in essay form, or a premise - or if I'm lucky, a plot - for a new short story or novel.
What are the challenges of creating your art?
Of course, the mechanics - grammar, spelling, punctuation and consistency in tense and POV - are fundamental to the craft of writing. Following those aspects, learning to balance a respect for the rules of writing fiction against judiciously breaking those rules to gain a desired effect is difficult but sometimes necessary.
Besides those basics - and learning to accept productive criticism - developing a striking voice and writing style is often the difference between critical, if not commercial, success and failure.
Do you make a living through your art?
Few in creative arts can afford to quit their day job.
Do you have a job outside of your art?
I've retired several times: from DuPont, from local real estate sales, from the home improvement trade and from real estate investment. I will never retire in the total sense because I will always be pursuing a goal.
Who is your favorite artist?
Although not a writer of note, Leonardo da Vinci is my favorite person in all the creative arts. His depth and breadth of curiosity for all things, artistic and scientific, has yet to be matched.
In the literary field, Stephen King has written in many genres as well as non-fiction with his well-respected book, "On Writing." He approaches the craft, when addressing aspiring writers, with honesty, openness and sobering reality.
Where in the community can your work be seen?
My novel, "The Fourth Marker," and anthology, "Marrow Bone Road And Other Tales," are not available on local bookstore shelves (yet), but they can be ordered online in both print versions and e-formats from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other retailers.
What do you think the Eastern Shore can do to improve its arts scene?
Support Eastern Shore artists through attendance at art exhibits, readings at local book stores and other venues, and purchase of local artists' works. I know of plumbers and PhDs who are also writers. We can be pleasantly surprised when we learn that our electrician neighbor also writes or paints.
I am a member of Maryland Writers Association and vice president of the Eastern Shore Writers Association. I participate in these organizations because I'm convinced that getting our thoughts out of our heads and in a tangible form to be examined in the light of day enable us to think clearly and critically about our views.

Kodak headquarters at 343 State Street in Rochester. / SHAWN DOWD File Photo 2012
Whats next
A Bankruptcy Court hearing on Kodaks plan to auction 1,100 digital patents is scheduled for July 2. If the company gets a go-ahead, the bidding deadline would be July 30 with the auction on Aug. 8.
NEW YORK — Eastman Kodak Co. needs cash fast cash it hopes to raise by selling off some of its prized possessions.
Worries that technology giant Apple Inc. might seriously delay or hamper such a sale seemed to ease slightly Wednesday as a result of a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing in Manhattan.
Kodak went into the hearing hoping for a judges approval to sell patents that are subject of a bitter custody dispute involving Apple.
Technically, Kodak got shot down. But though Judge Allan Gropper withheld approval of Kodaks motion, he gave the company alternatives for the patent sale it desperately needs.
Groppers ruling provides a legal path that would separate a sale of the patents from the ownership fight Kodak is waging with Apple and an Apple spinoff, Flashpoint Technology Inc., according to Andrew Dietderich, a partner with Kodaks bankruptcy counsel, New York law firm Sullivan & Cromwell.
In a statement after the hearing, Kodak said it was pleased and doesnt expect any patent ownership issues to delay its plan to auction off roughly 1,100 patents in August, including a set of 10 patents at the center of the dispute with Apple and Flashpoint.
The court outlined a path to ensure Apple and Flashpoints claims will not delay a sale, the Rochester company said. It is a good outcome for Kodak and its stakeholders.
The ruling appears to open the door to Kodak selling the patents quickly, assuming it receives acceptable bids that could generate more than $2 billion. Indeed, the specter of a long trial to determine patent ownership and what such a delay would mean to struggling Kodaks finances were raised repeatedly during the arguments Wednesday.
Kodak sorely needs the money both to pay back the lenders that are keeping it afloat through bankruptcy and to emerge from Chapter 11 next year.
Years ago, Kodak and Apple were cooperative, collaborating in the 1990s on digital camera technology development. Flashpoint, which was spun off from Apple in the mid 90s, jointly developed and produced a camera with Kodak.
But Kodak, which for decades had raked in huge revenues from film products even as it invented the digital camera, saw its fortunes begin to crumble at almost the same time that Apple began its ascendancy with a succession of immensely successful consumer products such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone and, most recently, the iPad.
Kodak and Apple have been fighting since 2010 in both federal court and before the U.S. International Trade Commission over ownership of one Kodak patent which Kodak says Apple is violating and which Apple says isnt rightfully Kodaks.
After Kodak filed for bankruptcy in January, Apple and Flashpoint brought up nine other disputed patents.
Kodak on Wednesday had been seeking a ruling from Gropper that those 10 patents are rightfully Kodaks and thus could be auctioned off. In his ruling, Gropper said such a determination wasnt within his power, but he left open the possibilities of a trial in bankruptcy court that would settle the question of ownership; of Kodak selling the patents and giving Apple and Flashpoint a cut of the proceeds; or of Kodak selling the patents outright with the buyer inheriting the Apple/Flashpoint ownership fight.
His ruling followed nearly two hours of oral arguments by lawyers for Kodak, Apple, Flashpoint and Kodak creditors as they debated issues ranging from whether Apples claims were well past the statute of limitations on patent violations to whether a bankruptcy court even has the power to decide ownership in a property dispute.
In court paperwork, Kodak, as well as its creditors, paint a picture of Apple as a legal saboteur, dragging out court proceedings and insisting on a trial in order to bleed Kodak.
Apple, meanwhile, argues that Kodak is using the cover of bankruptcy to strip Apple of technology it says it developed. Apple has been seeking to have the issue transferred to U.S. District Court, where it could be litigated, instead of bankruptcy court, which is designed for a quicker turnaround.
The particular patent thats key to much of the legal brawling is the so-called 218 patent, dealing with the image preview function on digital cameras.
Despite Kodaks satisfaction with the outcome, Apple doesnt appear likely to slink away. Apple attorney David Seligman said Kodak wants a rush to judgment in bankruptcy court when U.S. District Court is better equipped to address the numerous complex points of federal patent law.
