Stress Urinary Incontinence: Having Midurethral Sling Surgery
Stress Urinary Incontinence: Having Midurethral Sling Surgery
To help treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI), your surgeon may perform a procedure called midurethral sling surgery. A "sling" of tissue is placed under the urethra. The sling (tape) is made from a mesh of synthetic (manmade) material. When the tension of the tape is adjusted, urine should no longer leak. Your surgery will take about 60 minutes. You will be asked to do some things at home to prepare for surgery. Below are guidelines to help you get ready. If you have any questions, call your nurse or doctor.
The Weeks Before Surgery
Have any tests that your doctor orders.
Tell your doctor about aspirin and other medications, vitamins, or herbs you take. Ask if you should stop taking them before surgery.
Stop smoking to help reduce your risks during surgery.
If you have been given any prescriptions to fill, do this before surgery.
The Night Before Surgery
You may be asked to give yourself an enema. This cleans out your bowels for surgery. You'll be told how to do it.
Do not eat, drink, or chew anything after the midnight before surgery, as instructed. This includes water and chewing gum. But if you've been told to take any medications, swallow them with small sips of water.
The Day of Surgery
Arrive at the hospital a few hours before surgery as directed. Have someone drive you there who can also stay during the surgery, and drive you home. At the hospital, your temperature and blood pressure will be taken. In some cases, tests may be done. Then, you will receive one or more IV (intravenous) lines. These lines give you fluids and medications before, during, and after surgery. Some of your pubic hair may be removed. Tight stockings may be put on your legs to help prevent blood clots.
About Anesthesia
To keep you pain-free during surgery, you'll receive anesthesia. General anesthesia allows you to sleep. Local anesthesia numbs the area that will be operated on. Before surgery, you'll meet with the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist. He or she can tell you what kind of anesthesia you will receive and answer questions you may have.
During the Procedure
Two small incisions are made in the lower part of the abdomen (belly), near the pubic hairline. Another small incision is made in the front wall of the vagina.
Working through the incisions, the surgeon places the tape like a hammock under the urethra. The two ends of the tape emerge through the abdominal incisions.
If you're given local anesthesia, your surgeon may tell you to cough so that the tension of the tape can be adjusted.
When the tension is adjusted, the ends of the tape are cut and remain below the skin in the tissue of the abdominal wall. The healing process of the incisions holds the ends of the tape in place.
The incisions in the abdomen and vagina are closed with sutures (stitches).
Risks and Complications
The risks and complications of this procedure may include:

BL-3G Iceman
Hey everybody,
I ordered my Iceman last Wednesday. It arrived Saturday talk about service. That was fast!
I am impressed with it so far Side by Side comparison.
The Guardian: (recieved quiet fast also)
It came in a hook hanger plastic package, the unit is in a flimsy not even square plastic cover, with instructions from an inkjet printer, and it cost $79 dollars. Which is not bad if it keeps the cost down on the unit. But it just appears cheaper made, and no USB cable.
The Iceman:
It came in a neatly packaged box with a "Quick Start Guide" poster. The manual is well thought out and organized, and a mini disk with the latest software package. The Iceman it self is in a hard plastic box that is square all around with concise labeling on the out side of it. It comes with all of the cables to include the USB cable. Most of all I love the price $59 and would be willing to forgo the book and the mini-CD to keep the price as it is. I liked it! A lot! Especially the Iceman itself and the Quick Start Guide! But I have not compared them both side by side in setup and operation.
I could loose the manual and the CD and get it off of the website. These are nice to have items. If it keeps the overhead and price down, I would ditch the manual and the CD.
I will try to compare the two in a side by side setup and operational comparison by this weekend. Stay Tuned!
They are not comparable units. The Iceman doesn't have inertial sensors and can not maintain a heading, or know its position in space. It is just a 3 axis gyro with excellent software and flexibility. The Pro version will be able to do everything the guardian can do, plus much more, at a much higher price. As far as sensors go, the Iceman is more comparable to the $38 Eagle A3 Pro. However it has far superior software and support which easily make it worth the extra $20.
Is my understanding correct here? Please correct me if I misstated, but this is an apples and oranges comparison, except for the packaging critique.
That is correct.
They are both excellent products but they are different. The Blue Light is a very professionally designed, manufactured and presented 3 axis rate gyro but it does not have the auto levelling capacity of the Guardian. It has astounding configuration flexibilty and software support though.
I have both and like them both.
Neither are in the same class as the cheap 3 axis gyros - particularly the primitive HK Orange one. But hey they aren't as cheap either!
There's something for everyone.
Well I believe those are things to compare. They are both still stablizers right? Its not like comparing an engine to a transmitter, but more like comparing Cannon and a Nikon camera. The type they are and their options may be different. Its like comparing an F-14 Tomcat to an F/A-18 Hornet. One is an apple and one is an orange. The F-14 is large and can carry Phoenix missle system, more ordanance, and has swept wing system. It is older and not as technologically sophisticated to the F/A-18, but in a dog fight I would not just give it to the F/A-18. But since you have issues with apples and oranges I will cease my comparison in this forum. Thank you sir for your input.
We welcome any observations you have about the Blue Light, and how it contrasts with the Guardian, within the context of their purposes.

Hey "ICE MAN" Mark,
You have most of us Multi-rotor Guys hooked already so..............come on,
we are all Pals here and how about just giving us a target introduction date
for the ICE MAN PRO???????????? To make it easier for you, just fill in
the date below;
"THE ICE MAN PRO should be available for sale on_____________. We will
continue to give you updates of our progress."
Sorry to get back to you so late on this. We're aware of an issue with the gryo on/off function on input 7. In fact there is also a related issue with gyro on /off on the V2.2 s/w when selecting the up-side-down mounting option. We will fix this soon..

I had channel 7 working eventually by some random quirk. Not sure I did anything different. Glad it is a bug and not a faulty unit.
I flew with the unit fitted for the first time yesterday with a bit of a breeze. Fitted to a Multiplex Easystar II which is very sluggish; makes a good trainer though. I can hear the servos chattering but couldn't see/feel any difference in flight.
I used 'gyro exact gain' and have some questions/suggestions for improvements.
Manual for v2.2 gives some scalings; are they wrong as they don't make sense whereas they did in the printed v1.17 manual.
There is no calibration for these real time channel inputs. I'm I right in assuming when you say 0% to 100% that is 1000us to 2000us
It would be nice if we could select which axis we want to adjust rather than all of them. I would like to use this function to fine tune the gain for each axis in flight. I know I can turn axes off but I would like them running; just not able to adjust them. At present gains are adjusted for all three axes.
Am I correct in thinking that the manual gain adjust doesn't work when in the above mode. I.E. the PID gain of 11 in the scaling isn't adjusted via the pot.
It would be nice to know the gain I have settled on. I can read the current pulse width on my transmitter and use the scaling (hence the questions above) but would be nice if the software could tell me.
General question time:
In the signal outputs I have for example a PWM max width of 2000 and in PWM min width of 1000us. I have also set the Bias (us) for output 3 to +100. Am I right in thinking that the physical output is limited to 2000us not 2100us
Hi Dave,
We changed the scalings for version 2.2, so the v2.2 manual is correct. You set up the value in the Adv2 page then read off the column in the data sheet. For example with a value of 1.0 set changing an RC Tx pot or stick from 0 to 100% will vary the gain smoothly from 3.10 to 14. The calibration is done in the Adv1 page if you match your Rc Tx to the gyro inputs. The default is Futaba 1520, so normally 0% is 1100us and 100% is 1940us. Regarding adjusting only one axis, yes maybe we should have this function enabled on a per axis basis. Will give it some thought.
When in the exact gain adjust mode is used you are correct, the scaling (and the pot) on the prof1 page is not used.
Regarding the PWM min width, the physical output is indeed limited by the values the s/w finds from the Adv1 page, or by default the Futaba values as indicated above.
I'm very surprised you found little difference flying with and without the gyro on.

The 9 Stages of Halloween Appreciation Throughout Life
Ages 29 to 35
Oh my God, look how cute you are! Here, hold still while I draw on your whiskers. You are just the cutest little baby kitty in the whole world, aren't y- no, don't wipe off the paint, sweetie, let Mommy finish. Oh, now don't cry, we're almost done. Aaaaaalllmost done. Just a few more seconds, you're doing a great job. Grandma is just going to eat you up!
Just a feeeewwwww more seconds. You're such a big boy. Who's Mama's big boy? Who's Mama's cute little Halloween kitty? Aaaaallllmost done. Crap, honey, can you hand me that washcloth? I messed up his cheeks; I'll have to start over.
OK, is everyone ready to go? Let's load up, and- no, wait, I need to get a few pictures. It won't take a second. When we're done, make sure I don't forget to put the camera in my purse. Grandma will kill me if we don't get her copies of his first trick-or-treat. Oh, don't think that I don't see your fist clenching over there. Be an ass, why don't you? Why do you have to make a big deal out of absolutely everything? It's his first Halloween, for Christ's sake. You'd better not ruin it for him!
"Now, you shut your goddamn mouth and smile for the fucking camera, or I swear, I will stab your dick off."
Oh, wait, before we load up in the car, get one shot of me and him together. It'll be like mama kitty and baby kitten! I'm dressed up because I wanted to dress up -- stop judging me!
Ages 36 to 50
There's some pop in the fridge, and the candy is on the table. Don't eat all of it -- that's for the trick-or-treaters. If you want to rent a movie, the password for the parental lock is 1299. They're supposed to be done with trick-or-treating by 9 p.m., so if you want to shut the porch light off after that, that's fine. Your dad and I probably won't be home until after you've gone to bed, so no need to wait up. Regardless, you need to be in bed by midnight; you still have school in the morning.
Honey, am I showing too much cleavage? I feel like I've got too much boob showing. Oh well, I guess Halloween only comes around once a y- oh, God, you're not going as Dolly Parton again this year, are you? Christ. You know it's not funny, right? That there will be ten other guys there, thinking they're just as wacky and crazy, and every last one of them will be wrong?
Ages 51 to 65
Goddammit, I'm disconnecting that doorbell tomorrow. All I want is to sit here and watch some TV. I have to work tomorrow, for Christ's sake. Who invented this dumbass holiday, anyway? Whoever they are, I hope their death was slow and violent. Goddamn kids. When I was a kid, we trick-or-treated for one hour, and even then, only at our relatives' houses. I don't even have kids anymore, and I'm expected to fork out my hard-earned money on candy, regardless? It's bullshit.
Ages 66 to 80
I don't understand. Those first few kids came by, but after that, it's been totally quiet. I can see more kids out there, but they're just not stopping. Is our porch light working? Yeah? Huh. Maybe kids just don't get into trick-or-treating like they used to. When I was a kid, we trick-or-treated from the time the sun went down right up until it was time for school the next morning. Oh well, more popcorn balls for us, I guess.
Yep, black licorice, candy corn, popcorn balls and orange blob things. Just what every kid craves.
Oh, by the way, I picked up eight rolls of film for the camera, so when the grandkids stop by, we can get pictures of them. After they leave, why don't you go put on that Minnie Mouse outfit and let me put it in your asshole?
John has a Twitter thing. Whatever that is.

hey just seeing who likes philosophy and what kind you like. also we can debate about others as well.Me i'm a consertive (just to get started)
Well I'm not really sure what mine is...*thinking*...I've never thought about it actually...or maybe I have and just didn't realize it... anything is possible with me...There are so many different kinds... all can be "hot topics" hehehe. I guess you could say I'm one for a peaceful existance --if that is possible in this workd today. I like to think that we were meant to be here and to be at peace with each other, but there are those "evil forces", some poeple call it devil, satan and his minions, that play havock with us all, to make us miserable. It is liek we're being tested to see how much we can deal with, you know? But I have always believed that God will not allow us to be tested for more than we can deal with...and that we need to have faith in Him. (How's this for a start Gin?) Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate"
But i think shall be our own doing that will destory us and as Einstien said "as long as there are humans there is war" "Shinso slay them all"
that is a good point... it does seem like most of us humans have it in us to want to fight... don't know why though. It is sad that we tend to be that way...It's like we, as humans, have a need/desire to be 'one up' on people. This is a real shame in my opinion. Because we're not any different really -except by the color of our skin, religion, and the foods we like to eat. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
on most things i am liberal. but some things i am conservive.i am not a flip-flopperwhat i belive, is what i stand for.and i am not one of those hippie tree huggin' liberals either. i just have the same point of views
what most people don't know is that i use to be BUT NO LONGER a communist so i've been there done that"Shinso slay them all"
that'd be the same for me i guess... i also stand for whatever i believe in... and because of that i think the most logical work of philosophy is embodied in 8 words: "stay if you're happy, leave if you're not"... i mean people should learn to trust themselves and stand up for themselves and whatever they believe in...and live their life the way they see fit... because whatever we become would depend on the choices we make... I remember a line by Victor Frankl and he said: "everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way"(oh if you're wondering who Viktor Frankl is he was the one who wrote the book Man's Search for Meaning... i learned about him when i took up a philosophy class last year... according to him meaning is something contextual and asking someone "what is the meaning of life?" is asking a wrong question... it's like asking what is the best move in chess?... that's because there is no definite answer coz meaning is found within the situation...) ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
i live by a few quotes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" "religion is the opiante of man"(karl marx) "everybody is created equal" that's what i belivie and also i take no crap from anybody as well endless i actully deserve it"Shinso slay them all"
I really don't have any quotes that I live by... but the ones you have stated pretty much apply to my way of life and what I believe. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819

Well that is a deep topic... I know that Russia and China are considered in that catagory...That Stallin was one and he did a lot of pretty bad stuff...As for my opinion on it, well being an American and all, I guess I think that it's not all that great.But I'm sure that there are a lot of good things that resulted from that kind of government for their countries as well as the bad...just like here in the USA where democracy has had it problems... Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
Stalin actully wasn't a communist and the party hated him Lenin hated him but he did do a lot great and terrible things for russia. Russia now is a dictatorship. China i think is a nationalist not a communist state. Me being a former comunist i know all the rights and wrongs good purpose but never will work"Shinso slay them all"
Like I said I'm not that great in anything history related.... at least I had the part right about Satllin being involved with russian politics *sigh*. Russia used to be big time communist though, and I remember hearing a lot on the news about the "cold war" when I was in high school. I didn't really pay attention to it that much though. China used to be communist. Didn't know you were a communist, never would have guessed that. You're a cool guy...just goes to show you that the saying " Don't judge a book by it's cover" is 100% correct. It's what's inside that counts. I've never really considered myself anything in particular as far as politics are concerned...in fact I'm registered as non-partisian for voting.Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
be it democracy or communism, they both have their own good sides but i guess one can never really find both totally satisfying... i mean for communism egalitarianism seems good with its doctrine that each person should be treated equal, a classless society... it must be nice to live in such a society but on the other hand, with everyone equal and such there'd be no room for personal growth for those who strive harder than the rest coz everything is controlled so as to ensure that a communist society would remain egalitarian...oh by the way, i was just wondering... did any country really achieve true communism? i mean i know China and Russia were classified as communists but communism is supposed to be all about classless society and all those stuff you find under the definition of communism... were they really like that?~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
I think that the idea of pure communism is a great idea, but when you put it all together, it wont work. I think the biggest thing about it that wont work is that everyone gets the same pay. If everyone gets the same pay, then people who work hard and have harder jobs wont get paid more than, well, an example: A doctor will get the same pay as a factory worker. Eventually workers wont really have to do anything much to get paid. Like if you were in a car factory and worked on the assembly line, your job was to put bolts on some parts as they pass through. But, since your going to get paid the same anyway, you might miss some, throw some on, and not really try. Democracy has its problems, yes. But I think its a much better way of life than Communism.
that's one of the things i don't like about communism either... it takes out the drive within us to work harder to have a better life... i mean in communism it's like: why the heck should i try harder? we're get the same with everyone else anyway *shrugs*... that's why no matter what it's faults are democracy is way much better... ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
like cars houses more land etc...."Shinso slay them all"
In "Das Capita" an encycolopedia of communism the Govment Will give more stuff if you work harder if you don't then you lose stuff that's how they did because the goverment own almost everything like houseing and cars but you did have some personal items and no insurance the Goverment would pay for it all and that has to be a huge pain i mean do you think a power hunary Govermen is going to pay money to it's citizens were i'm going is that communism won't work because there's to much greed "absolute power, corubates absolutly""Shinso slay them all"
Where they would work they had a worker of the month. That was about it. Only the people with, what should be, better paying jobs MIGHT get a little something nice. Maybe. But they really never give you anything because they dont really reconize you. If they did nothing, nothing bad really happened.
In stalin's communism if you didn't work then you would be sent to the golags a russian form of the concenteration camps and you would be forced to work without pay"Shinso slay them all"
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. Tzu, Sun

The PTO addresses Bilski and software patents | Opensource.com
The PTO addresses Bilski and software patents
When the Supreme Court decided the Bilski case, it didn't speak directly to the issue of software patents. But the Bilski majority emphasized that abstract ideas are not patentable, and recognized that allowing patents for abstract ideas could hinder innovation. Thus there's still room for discussion of the legal standard for when, if ever, there should be patents on software.
The Patent and Trademark Office is on the front line of the issue, since it has the duty of deciding whether to grant patent applications. Whatever interpretation of Bilski it adopts, its decision will affect the patent landscape. It was good, then, to see that this summer the PTO invited public comments on its proposed interpretation of the Bilski case.
This is an issue that Red Hat has been involved in, having previously submitted an amicus brief in Bilski. Earlier this week, Red Hat responded to the PTO's request and submitted an understanding of Bilski that would mitigate some of the harm caused by poor quality software patents. Here's the main part of the message that Red Hat sent to the PTO:
Today there are hundreds of thousands of patents relating to software, and tens of thousands continue to be granted each year. In many cases, these patents have vague and uncertain boundaries. Thus it is virtually impossible to determine whether a new software product could be deemed to infringe an existing patent. This means that introducing any innovative software product entails a risk of a lawsuit based on a vague patent. Such lawsuits often cost millions of dollars to defend, along with the risk of actual damages, treble damages, and injunctions. Far from encouraging innovation, vague software patents discourage it. The problem of vagueness is so endemic in software patents that it warrants action at the threshold level of subject matter eligibility.
In view of this serious problem, Red Hat submits that the Interim Guidance should be revised to recognize that software patents will ordinarily fail to satisfy the requirements of 35 U.S.C. Section 101 as interpreted in Bilski and prior Supreme Court cases. Software is essentially nothing more than a set of mathematical algorithms expressed in a particular programming or machine language. As the Bilski Court recognized, mathematical algorithms, by themselves, are abstract ideas that are not patentable.
As the Supreme Court found in Diehr and reiterated in Bilski, an application of a mathematical formula (as opposed to the formula by itself) may be entitled to patent protection. This does not mean, however, that merely storing or running software on a general purpose computer justifies granting a patent on an otherwise unpatentable algorithm. This is clear from the Supreme Court's Benson decision, which rejected as an unpatentable abstract idea a mathematical algorithm capable of being used in programming a general purpose computer. Thus the statement in the Interim Guidance that "recitation of some structure, such as a machine . . . will in most cases limit the claim to such an application" is overly broad and subject to misinterpretation.
The Bilski Court strongly reaffirmed that abstract ideas, including mathematical algorithms, are not patentable. In applying Bilski, the Patent and Trademark Office should recognize the applicability of this principle to software patents. This course is consistent both with the Supreme Court's teachings and the core patent objective of encouraging innovation.

I'm still sitting on the fence.
It's clear from recent patent litigation that software patents are being interpreted overly broadly. But it's a stretch to refer to every software process as a "mathematical algorithm" that, by its nature, is an abstract idea. The best approach to reining in software patents may be to require that the code and machine be coupled in the application - and that there be enough specificity to the machine that use of the code for some other clearly different "machine" not automatically be considered infringing.
I think it's been clearly enough stated elsewhere that, just because a machine pushes electrons rather than pistons, it's still a machine.
What you describe sounds like copyright on binary programs, which I'm pretty sure RedHat and open source advocates are in favor of. I would go even further, and grant rights to a machine independent expression of an algorithm (just not the algorithm itself). Lo and behold, copyright already does that too!
Bad analogy time: No one resents the copyright on Harry Potter, but suing wanna be writers for creating stories involving boy wizards would be like a software patent. The abstract idea is "boy wizard". As a matter of fact, if your plot comes out almost exactly like Harry Potter, IANAL, but I believe that is not allowed, even if you tell it differently (unless it's parody). So there is some grey area, just like with software. And there is some real creativity possible, like telling the story from the point of view of another character (Snape comes to mind) that is blocked for that reason.
I think the separation of patents and copyrights is important. I will agree that copyrights *seem* to be under-emphasized in the software world, or at least are getting much less press. I also agree that there is an appropriate use of copyright in software, namely the visible representation of a concept. Amazon's shopping cart should have been copyrighted, not patented.
But suppose I invent a new search process: a certain way of aggregating web data, identifying key elements, representing it in an internal data environment, correlating it to query parameters, and returning results. The only truly copyrightable portion of that is the presentation of the results. The rest is process, and it should be patentable.
It is at best self-serving to call it a "purely mathematical algorithm" (PMA) simply because there's a community out there that would prefer that no software be patented. The PMA argument is a very blunt instrument and I'm not sure the Supreme Court has resolved anything in a practical sense.
"But suppose I invent a new search process: a certain way of aggregating web data, identifying key elements, representing it in an internal data environment, correlating it to query parameters, and returning results. The only truly copyrightable portion of that is the presentation of the results. The rest is process, and it should be patentable."
All the code you write to make that process concrete is automatically copyrighted. That is why we call running the program "processing". If you haven't made your process concrete, and tied down all the specifics, then it is an abstract idea. It is not useful until someone sits down and grinds out all the details for a specific application. That concrete realization is automatically copyrighted in the US. (I realize that you might never publish the search engine implementation - in which case it is a trade secret.)
Just like with physical inventions you have to have a concrete implementation to patent ("a machine to extract seeds from cotton" doesn't cut it, you have to show a specific implementation), so with software you have to have a specific fully realized design. But the wonder of computers is that merely writing out the design *in full* with all details specified, is "all" you need to do. With a cotton gin, you still need to manufacture the thing. With a computer program or a book, you just need to copy it. A machine "runs" it.
Hence, patents give you rights to the manufacture, and copyrights give you rights to the copying. For software, copying *is* the manufacture. With the advent of 3D printers, there is a convergence between copyright and patent. With a 3D printer in hand, say one that sinters a metal alloy, the concrete design of an invention fashioned from metal is all you need. "Manufacture" now consists of feeding power and powdered metal to the printer along with the design - just like feeding ink and paper to a printer along with the text.
When a book is copyrighted, you can't just change a few words here and there and publish it as your "own" work. You can't just rename variables in a copyrighted computer program and publish it as your "own". So your copyright covers a huge set of programs that are "nearly the same as" as judged by the courts. Translating into another language does not avoid copyright on a book, and translating into another computer language does not avoid copyright on a program.
If there were a valid software "patent", it would have to be machine executable to meet the same standards as physical inventions. But that concrete realization is already copyrighted. That is why all software patents are "overly broad". Because if they weren't they would be copyrights.
I also agree that there is an appropriate use of copyright in software, namely the visible representation of a concept. Amazon's shopping cart should have been copyrighted, not patented.
Actually, there is a special type of patent used to protect icons and screen layouts. It's called a design patent. Here is an example of one of Amazon's design patents. http://bit.ly/amazondesignpatent
"Just like with physical inventions you have to have a concrete implementation to patent..." This is not actually the case. You can patent an invention without a working prototype. The classic example is the PTO's assertion many decades ago that they would no longer accept patent applications for perpetual motion machines without a working example. In general the PTO neither asks for nor approves based on a working implementation, nor does the presence of one affect patent protection after the fact (except as "prior art" in invalidating a patent).
"When a book is copyrighted, you can't just change a few words here and there and publish it as your "own" work. You can't just rename variables in a copyrighted computer program and publish it as your "own"." This is grossly simplistic and ignores the difference between code (which, while copyrightable, is never seen by the end user) and written works. Most coding environments provide a rich set of tools. I could set two people down with a description of a process and they might write very different code to implement it. But it's still MY process.
I'm going to request something here. You're not going to like it. I would like people in this space to stop arguing this subject as though it were obvious and simple to resolve. It isn't. It would be very helpful for software innovation if the requirements for the patentability of software-based systems were more clearly defined. But it's ineffective, insulting, and likely counter-productive to continue to pursue the theory that NO software is patentable - which, when you cut through their response to the PTO, is what RedHat is professing. It isn't going to work, and it's doing some damage along the way.
You said,
"Just like with physical inventions you have to have a concrete implementation to patent..." This is not actually the case. You can patent an invention without a working prototype.
I didn't say "working prototype". A concrete implementation says *how* to build a prototype, but is not the (working or not) prototype itself. In the case of software, the program might not actually do what is claimed, but it is a concrete implementation.
You also said,
"This is grossly simplistic and ignores the difference between code (which, while copyrightable, is never seen by the end user) and written works."
A screen play is also (usually - just like with source code) never seen by the end user (the viewer of the movie). You keep making this distinction between machine code and source code, as if one would only want to copyright/patent machine code, when source code is the more abstract. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but it sounds like you want to "copyright"/"patent" the function of the machine code, and never release the source, thus defeating the purpose of patents (if patented), or abuse copyright by broadly prohibiting an entire class of functionality.
Firmware blobs are copyrighted, is this what you mean? That they should be patentable because they are tied to specific hardware? I agree (and the judge does too), because it might convince the company to patent and release the internal workings of the corresponding *hardware*, and would remove the need for reverse engineering the firmware (and provide the limited monopoly). But then they might as well copyright the source code as well.
But "patenting" *only* a firmware blob on the basis of providing some abstract function in conjunction with trade secret hardware defeats the purpose of patents, doesn't meet the "concrete" requirement of a patent, and is just wrong.
The whole idea of a patent is to reveal trade secrets in return for a limited monopoly. Patenting machine code does not accomplish this purpose, unless it is in conjunction with trade secret hardware it controls.
My personal feelings are that there should be no patents for software; zip, zero, nada.
Patents should be the domain of tangible objects in the physical world.
If you come up with a way to express yourself via software, or any other art form, good for you; do something with it or don't but please don't try to get in my way. Software is basically a process, a means to an end; you can't touch it or use it without channeling it though another object. I don't believe business processes should be able to get a patent or copyright either, and I personally don't feel the people who judge what is able to achieve that status have a firm grasp of technology.
Locking your car is a process, the lock is an object. Would that be a possible business process?
What may seem profound to somebody in the USPTO may seem like the next logical step to hundreds of other people working in that field.
And lets not forget that patents have as much to do with money as ideas, if you can't pony up the cash to defend your ideas then you will most likely fail against the large patent trolls in the end.
So it is simple, patents on software stifle innovation. With this type of resource there is a possible shelf life that should be considered because there are many people smarter than you who may have better ideas that are stopped in their tracks because of some snippet of code, a snippet of code they also thought up on their own.
If you are designing the software to fill a need you should have a market hopefully, so sell it. If somebody else comes up with a similar idea then hopefully your product is better.
And another reason to just say no to software patents is a lot of the world won't observe them. They will use them to build on and come up with ideas the original creator had not considered, and that is usually how it goes. We all get there on the backs of others, so deal with it.
no one actually looks at software patents (as that triples damages), so they don't stop anyone in their tracks. Patent lawsuits only go after companies with cash, and those typically have their own arsenal of software patents to fire back with. A few small software writers (notice I don't say "inventor") get caught in the crossfire.
This would be a typical game for the rich and powerful - except for Patent Trolls. These entities don't actually write anything themselves - so they are immune to any counter arsenal of software patents. This spoils the game, and now a lot of big players are not so enamored with software patents anymore. Patent Trolls also highlight the inanity of patenting stuff that you write (for which copyright was designed).
I am glad that the blog owner has chosen a very interesting matter about Invalidation search. Invalidation search is done to identify documents or prior use that may reduce the claim scope for one or more claims of a granted patent or to invalidate a granted patent. The information on this blog is very helpful in that it helps by spreading a great deal of knowledge among people. I would like to congratulate for this hard work to the blog owner and would like to be part of this site by submitting comments.
As a patent agent specializing in software and business methods, I can report that Bilski is not a problem. Inventors and patent examiners can usually work out suitable language pretty quickly.
The critical issue continues to be prior art. The more thoroughly an inventor searches the prior art before filing, the easier it is to get a patent allowed later on.

The knitting class I've been taking is for a felted shoulder bag- I get to felt it next week. So, until then, it's ginormous.
I am now working on the belt and then plan to make a braided handle. It will keep me company in between auditions tomorrow (which, by the way, today is the last day I will accept audition appointments for Saturday and Sunday! Is your story waiting to be found?)
I'm struggling a bit today with - I'm not sure the right words- basically the feeling that no one takes me seriously. And by no one I don't mean everyone. What is a good way to describe that? You know that feeling that no matter how old you are, you still feel like a child, or that your dreams are just dreams, talents aren't considered talents by others, and then I second guess myself thinking it's my fault for putting it out there, maybe I'm not emphasizing enough the importance of what I do. Maybe I can't even see the value in my talents, so how can I expect others to receive it for what it is really worth? But why must it require a megaphone? What if I just want to gently be, and that would be enough, and still be known for its beauty and amazing-ness?
Anyway. Here's my latest fashion tip: while shopping at Target with Sarah last night I realized that the long fitted tees in the Girls' section size S (6) makes a perfect dress for Ivy.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Bill O'Brien said he thinks about the unit "24/7," so it's clearly an area of concern for the Penn State coach this fall.
Is it the offensive line? No.
Secondary? No.
The new quarterback? No.
Those are all the usual question marks each season for the Nittany Lions, but O'Brien has a surprising area to worry about this year.
It's the linebackers, an oddity given that the Lions have produced one star player after another for the past decade.
"Whenever it's your turn to step up, it's go time, it's your time to shine," junior Mike Hull said. "And I'm ready to fill that spot and help our defense this year."
O'Brien isn't worried about Hull playing well as a first-year starter on the outside. The coach also has spoken several times about senior middle linebacker Glenn Carson being underrated, and he has high hopes for redshirt freshman and projected starter Nyeem Wartman.
The Lions appear to be in good shape in the starting unit, but as O'Brien has lamented several times, the lack of depth at linebacker is the reason for his concern.
"I think our three linebackers that are in starting spots right now, I believe that they are very, very good players," O'Brien said this past week. "They're tough guys, they're smart guys, and they're instinctive players."
With those three on the field together, Penn State probably will have few linebacker concerns. But if one or more of them get injured or need to be spelled, the Lions will have to turn to inexperienced, unproven backups to play major roles.
The primary backups at this point are redshirt freshmen Gary Wooten and Adam Cole, along with redshirt sophomore Ben Kline, who's sitting out spring drills after undergoing shoulder surgery.
"We certainly have to do a good job the rest of the spring and obviously over summer and into training camp of making sure that Carson, Hull and Wartman are as healthy as they possibly can be going into the opener," O'Brien said.
Carson was overshadowed by standouts Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges last year but still had a solid season with 85 tackles (40 solo), three tackles for loss and one sack. He will have a chance to be the guy in the linebacker unit this season and earn the credit O'Brien believes he deserves.
"Obviously that's what I'm working toward, and I feel that I can fill that role," Carson said.
To do that, he will be focused on making more big plays.
"We kind of pride ourselves as linebackers to attending to detail and the little things," Carson said. "[That] is what's going to make you take the next step up - not missing tackles and instead of knocking down a ball, making that interception, making a play. That's something I'm really looking to do is make some bigger plays, take some more shots, make some more tackles for loss."
Hull gained a lot of attention last year when it became public he considered transferring to Pitt after the NCAA sanctions. Penn State is fortunate he stayed.
Hull played very well in a backup role, finishing with 58 tackles (34 solo), four sacks, five tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries. His highlight was a 74-yard fumble return for a TD against Navy.
"I've just been in the film room a lot, working really hard in the offseason workouts, and I'm ready to step up and be a leader and help the defense," Hull said.
Hull played a lot as a backup but will be counted on to be on the field for entire games this year. He's been concentrating on his conditioning in order to achieve that goal.
"Me and Glenn haven't really played much together," Hull said. "But we know the defense, we've been in the system for a year, and everything's going real smooth right now."
Hull saw the intensity and leadership Mauti and Hodges played with last year and plans to play the game the same way. He also knows how important it is for players like him, Carson and Wartman to carry on the great tradition of Linebacker U.
"It just motivates all of us to keep working toward the tradition [previous stars] left for us," Hull said.
Wartman played in two games last year before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He was able to get a medical redshirt, so he still has four years of eligibility.
The fact that Wartman has emerged as a projected starter coming off the injury is a testament to his skills and potential.
"I see a lot of athleticism in Nyeem, and plus you can see he's very physical sometimes taking on blockers and things like that," Carson said.
It's up to Carson and Hull to help mentor Wartman and the other young linebackers, just as the long line of PSU standouts have been mentored by the players who came before them.
"Nyeem's looked good so far," Hull said. "He's doing a great job coming in, and I think he's going to be a great player for us."

As Williamsville school district officials begin to craft a spending plan for the 2013-14 school year, Superintendent Scott Martzloff on Tuesday night apprised the School Board that the district's contribution to teacher and employee retirement have been among the biggest drivers of spending hikes.
The budget-to-budget increases have averaged a little over 2 percent during the past three years, but contributions to the teacher retirement system have increased almost 29 percent, Martzloff said. And contributions to the retirement of non-teaching staff have risen more than 45 percent over that same time period.
"So that's really what is eating up the increases in our budget. We don't really have any program. We're not really growing in terms of what we're doing for children," he said after the Board's budget work session.
In addition, Martzloff said, health insurance increases have gone up over $2.2 million during the past three years, even though district employees have taken on a larger share of the burden for paying for their own insurance.
Meanwhile, the superintendent projected nearly $6.3 million in spending increases and only $650,000 in additional revenues, which would make for $5.6 million budget gap. The superintendent also discussed the possibility of additional spending for improved security in school district buildings, including the introduction of an ID card system for all employees, as well as additional cameras.
"Other enhancements that we're doing behind the scenes are to do everything we can to keep our children as safe as possible," Martzloff said. "We also want to consider moving forward wellness enhancements. Certainly a big part of what came across in relation to the tragedy in Connecticut has to with mental health, the mental health of our children and mental health in our community," he said, in reference to the Dec. 14 shooting massacre in Newtown, Conn.
Also Tuesday, Board Vice President Ronald Shubert expressed a desire to restore full-time social workers to both Casey and Transit Road middle schools.
"Each one of our schools has a full-time social worker, except, I believe, those two schools," Shubert said. "For the life of me, I don't know how you can have a half of a social worker in a school. I suggest strongly that we restore that position."
The district's tax cap for the 2013-14 budget will be discussed at the Board's next meeting on Feb. 12. Martzloff said he anticipates it will be slightly higher than the tax cap for this past year's budget. A preliminary budget will be presented on March 5, with a final review scheduled for March 19. The board will adopt a budget on April 9 than hold a public hearing May 9. The annual district budget vote and school board election will be held May 21.

For many mobile professionals and other enthusiasts being without a wireless Internet connections is unfathomable. But for those outside of large cities the thought of a high-speed wireless network is merely a dream because the service simply isn't available.
When the FCC first announced in August of 2007 an auction for the newly set aside 700 MHz frequency, rumors started to circulate that Google would be one of the bidders for the frequency spectrum. In July of 2007, right before the FCC announced the bidding would be open, Google said if its requirements were met; it would bid the minimum $4.6 billion USD for the spectrum.
In what was perceived by many as a gearing up of sorts to getting its hands on the 700 MHz wireless frequency, Google and 34 phone industry companies launched the Android mobile phone OS. The new Android OS was seen as a direct competitor to Microsoft's mobile OS dominance with Windows Mobile.
Today Google made the official announcement that it would file its formal application to participate in the 700MHz auction. Google states its application would be filed on December 3, 2007 with the FCC, which is the first step in the auction process. Google also pointed out that its application did not include any partners.
"We believe it's important to put our money where our principles are," said Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO, Google. "Consumers deserve more competition and innovation than they have in today's wireless world. No matter which bidder ultimately prevails, the real winners of this auction are American consumers who likely will see more choices than ever before in how they access the Internet."
In his Google blog Chris Sacca, Head of Special Initiatives at Google, wrote, "Here at Google, we see the upcoming 700 megahertz spectrum auction at the Federal Communications Commission as one of the best opportunities consumers will have to enjoy more choices in the world of wireless devices."
There is more to the 700 MHz frequency than simply the chance to offer mobile communications devices. The frequency is able to transmit over long distances with low power requirements meaning that the spectrum could bring broadband Intent connectivity to rural areas that are often only serviced by dial up web connectivity.

quote: "The UN figures indicate that 45.5 percent of the US adult population (or about 92 million people) is in the top 10 percent of the world's population by wealth. However, to qualify for the top 10 percent requires total assets of only $61,041. For the bulk of American workers who reach this level, the majority of these assets are tied up in their homes and vehicles. A US census report based on 2000 data found that 67 percent of the population reported ownership of a home, and that the median net worth of this house (that is, the value of the house minus mortgages) amounted to $59,000."
quote: We are gluttonous, greedy, self-serving creatures by nature. Money is a conduit for goods and power and we will almost always want more than we need. Money may not necessarily be the root of all evil, but it certainly is an expressway to getting there.

BUCYRUS - The scary thing is Mohawk is only halfway through its gauntlet of an opening schedule: Pleasant, Wynford, Upper Sandusky and Carey.
The good thing for Mohawk is the team started show some signs of life in the second half of a 34-13 loss to Wynford.
"I thought we grew as the game went on. We knew coming (into the season) that Pleasant was going to be a bear. Part of that was we wanted to raise the standard of what we do play-wise," Mohawk coach Erik Baker said. "In the first half, Wynford is very good and we struggled on some things. But we grew and in the second half, we really rallied and what we were trying to talk to them (about) finally clicked. We had two touchdowns on offense. We sustained our drives. We made them earn it. We played a lot of young guys so I feel good going forward."
Unfortunately for the Warriors, the resuscitation of the offense didn't come about until the fourth quarter with the Warriors down 34-0.
"I feel like we turned a corner in the second half and that actually looked like football," Baker said. "We have no choice (but) to get better every week."
Wynford (1-1) bounced back from a tough loss to Liberty-Benton last week, particularly quarterback Brock Williamson, who was 16 of 26 passing for 234 yards and three touchdowns to go along with another score on the ground, part of a 39-yard rushing night.

|RUSHING: Mohawk — Johnson 16-59; Eric Maskey 10-46; Gucker 10-(minus 24); Kevin Lonsway 2-6; Logan Stillberger 0-0. Wynford — Brown 14-84; Williamson 8-39; Cole Fortner 8-24; Nick Looker 7-19; Hayden Rhoades 3-22; Drew Voll 2-(minus 8); Jalon Brown 1-2.
|PASSING: Mohawk — Gucker 6-14-0-127. Wynford — Williamson 16-26-0-234.
|RECEIVING: Mohawk — Mitch Parker 4-97; Johnson 2-30. Wynford — Miller 5-85; Tea 3-38; Gage Roe 3-16; Mason Davis 1-27; Josh Gregory 1-24; Watson 1-21; Keaton Teynor 1-14; Rhoades 1-7; Corey Brown 1-2.
"I think there was a lot of pressure on Brock (last week). I think he puts a lot of pressure on himself as a quarterback," Wynford coach Gabe Helbert said. "We really stressed this week going out and being consistent, all the way around including Brock. I thought he made great throws. Realistically, if we don't drop the ball, he's probably in the 23 of 26 range or something like that."
Williamson spread the ball around too, connecting with nine receivers. Corey Brown decked Mohawk for 84 yards on the ground with a TD as well.
"To be able to do that and complete the balls that he did, I thought he made really nice decisions on where to throw so we're real happy with his performance tonight.
Fumbles proved to be a bug-a-boo for the Warriors (0-2) as they lost two of the four first-half miscues.
The first one was on a kickoff return in the first quarter, which allowed Wynford to push the score from 13-0 to 19-0 in the matter of 11 seconds.
"I wish I had some magic solution for that," Baker said. "Hopefully you learn from it."
Wynford's defense was as stout as its offense was prolific. The Royals held Mohawk to just 67 yards in the first half.
"I thought we came out with nice tempo. I thought we played good from the first half offensively and defensively, especially in the first quarter," Helbert said. "We kind of set the tone, which was nice to see from last week to this week. Our kids came out hungry and we were fortunate to get the win."
Grant Gucker led the aerial attack for the Warriors with a 6 of 14 passing effort for 127 yards. Gunnar Johnson scored both TDs for Mohawk in the fourth: a 2-yard run and a 17-yard reception from Gucker.

This is Gerry Odrowski. At 22 years old he was a regular on the blueline with the Detroit Red Wings and stayed in the lineup for two full seasons before falling back to the minors (that happened to lots of players in the original 6).
After 138 games with the Wings 60-62, he spent several years in the minors before landing another big league job with the expansion Oakland Seals in the fall of 1967. By all accounts I've read, he was one of the more successful penalty killers (while playing forward) for the Seals and he once again last two years (and 116 games) in the big leagues.
By the fall of 1969 he was back in the minors and this time, over 30, there was a real chance he wouldn't make it back to the NHL.
But he did. Odrowski played for St. Louis in 1971-72 after starting the season in the minors.
In the summer of 1972 he signed with the new WHA and spent 4 years on the blueline for various teams (LA Sharks, Phoenix Roadrunners, Winnipeg Jets and then Minnesota Fighting Saints).
One time when playing for the Seals in New York, Odrowski suffered a fairly severe injury. He was taken from Madison Square Garden to the nearest hospital for observation. And there he stayed.
The Seals forgot to send for him.

Courteney Cox is taking the term "boob tube" literally.
The Cougar Town star, 48, whose show moves from ABC to TBS on Jan. 8, eagerly anticipates more um, revealing scenes once the program makes its way to the cable network.
"You will not see one scene that I don't show my boobs," Cox joked to reporters Friday at the Television Critics Association winter tour, according to Access Hollywood.
"You know what? I'm getting older, so I've decided at this point I'm taking less focus [on] the face, and focusing here," she added, pointing to her chest. "By the time I'm much older, I will just be absolutely nude. I think it's [going to] work for me, I hope."
The show's executive producer, Bill Lawrence, backed up Cox's comments. "There is one difference [with the show going to cable]," he said Friday. "I think I'm allowed to say … Courteney did declare this the year of her cleavage."
Still, the star isn't exactly baring it all. Although there is an episode themed "naked day" for Cox's character Jules and her on-camera hubby Grayson (Josh Hopkins), there will be no actual nudity on the show.

Problem Solver: If it heads to the dump, it's gone for good
A reader recently wrote in hoping that somehow he could retrieve some beloved stuffed animals that were mistakenly put curbside and picked up by trash collectors.
"Oh, gosh, Katie, I know I'm asking the impossible, but do need your advice. We've had our carpet removed in order to have foundation repairs done (meaning bagging much)," the reader wrote. He added that the stuffed animals — gathered along with years of memories – were placed on the street. "Is there anything I can do? I would be glad to go to the city's dump and look if I thought I had a chance. With cancer and heart disease, I know my days are limited and hoped at least I could leave my wife with these romantic memories of our relationship."
It stinks, but the answer is no.
Kelly High, sanitation director for the City of Dallas, tried to see if there was any way to rescue the keepsakes and said that he "feels sick" that he couldn't help. But the bags were picked up days before the reader asked for help and time is of the essence when dealing
with garbage. Sanitation workers pick up and unload about five tons of the stuff each day, including weekends.
These particular toys had been dumped at the landfill somewhere in an area that is approximately the size of four football fields, beneath about 20 feet of garbage. The area had also been covered in dirt and compacted by machines as big as semi-trucks. There really was no practical way to get to them without heavy machinery and many man
hours of searching. Even if they were found, it's highly unlikely they would be intact.
High said he doesn't get many requests for help in retrieving objects and he "feels sick" he couldn't help in this case. In recent years, most searches have involved requests from police departments and material that could possibly be connected with a crime.
