GOVT-406 Human Rights/International Relations
Spring for 2017-2018
The most powerful idea of the twentieth century—an idea that instantiates a watershed in international politics far more fundamental and transformative than the Treaty of Westphalia—is the following moral claim:
All persons everywhere have basic and universal human rights;
Thus, "we" (members of the human community) are obligated to find ways to within not only at the national, but also at the international level to devise guarantees for basic and universal human rights. Since World War II, the international community has instantiated the norm that an essential moral obligation of the society of states is to promote, protect, and extend Human Rights. Morally, this obligation to uphold human rights ought to trump, delimits, authorize and/or orient the exercise of so-called "state sovereignty."
The syllabus includes classic texts on human rights as well as contemporary literature on human rights in world politics. We study: key international human rights documents; content of rights claims; international strategies for human rights protection and advocacy, and implementation; and predictable challenges in international efforts to do so. In their presentations, students explore the ways various international actors work to support human rights, aid those whose rights have been violated, and shine the international spotlight on violators and their egregious acts.
[N.B. For Government Majors, this course may satisfy an International Relations or a Political Theory requirement.]

Hi all,
Just a shameless plea for some support as I begin my journey toward being a non-smoker.
I have smoked for about 27 1/2 years. On March 19th I quit cold turkey. I was doing pretty
well for 9 days. . . until this evening. Pretty stressed out, and I picked up a pack of
cigarettes a couple of hours ago.
Grrrrrrrrr! Very disappointed in myself. At least I only bought one pack instead of a carton.
Physically I was doing really well. Didn't have any major symptoms of withdrawal and I was
using mints and gum whenever I would normally have had a smoke. I know how I am, and I'll
wind up smoking this whole pack over the next day or so. But after that. . . no more!
9 days is an amazing feat (for me) and I don't intend to backslide into my pack-a-day routine.
Any ex-smokers among the members here? How did you stop? What helped you kick the habit?
I don't want to use any weird drugs or patches or "nicotine replacements."

It's that time of year again – the coughing, sneezing and sniffling. But many cold medications you see in the store are labeled "not for people with diabetes." So what's a cold-sufferer to do?
The drugs that help reduce cold symptoms are cough medicines, antihistamines (which block allergic reactions) and decongestants. The cough medicines and antihistamines may make you very sleepy, says the American Diabetes Association (ADA). And the chemicals in decongestants make your blood vessels narrower – which may help your runny nose, but may cause serious problems if you have heart disease or poor circulation.
The best thing to do, according to the ADA, is to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the aches, pains or fever; then get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids. Be sure to check your blood sugar often and be ready to respond to a rise in your blood sugar. Your health-care provider can also set you up with a sick-day plan, which will detail what to eat or drink, when to test your blood glucose and ketones, and when to call your provider for help.

Buying an Oxy/Aceytlene setup, need help
I am getting ready to buy my first torch, and I have done quite a few searches on here, but I haven't seen anything about the portable torch setups. I am looking at either a Victor portable torch unit or a Victor Super range II.
My concern with the portable unit is how long the tanks will last. But I don't know if renting tanks for the Super Range torch will be worth it either. Does anyone out there rent their tanks, if so how much are they for the size you have.
I really only plan on using the torch for some basic fabrication and welding up the exhaust and bars for my bike.
Thanks for the help and info
Last edited by Leggo; 03-03-2007 at 03:11 PM.
That Victor Super Range II is a fine outfit probably the best you can buy for the money, maybe at any price. If all you plan to do is light welding you may get by with the portable tanks but be warned they go fast so if you can get the biggest tanks you feel you can handle, not only will they last longer the gas will be a heck of a lot cheaper per cubic ft.
Well, I went and talked to the guys at the AirGas near me today and they recommended the Super Range II as well. So it looks like I am going in that direction.
I did forget to ask them about bottles, should I just rent them from the shop here or should I try and buy them. I know that there can be some issues with owning them and getting them filled. Has anyone had problems with this.
So just check with a couple vendors to insure they will sell you the gas before you invest in your own tanks. Also be aware, if you own your own tanks they will have to be tested periodically and if there are any changes in safety rules, it will be your responsibility to keep your tanks up to snuff. They won't fill faulty or untested tanks. Other than that, I think "owned" tanks are the way to go...except if you not certain of what size tanks are going to good for your particular use pattern. If you rent, you can change your tank sizes pretty easily. If you buy...you're stuck.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.

Here, you buy the small tanks.....when they are empty, you can exchange them.
I have a dispute right now, with the vendor I used to use....I bought a set of small tanks years ago......like 20 years ago....of course the paperwork is gone. The guy that I used to exchange them with allowed me to exchange them for the next size up. He went out of the gas business after that. I then had to go to a different vendor of the same gas company. They said I wasn't allowed to have those tanks without a rental contract....and wanted their tanks back.....I told them if they want their tanks, they had to give me some small tanks back, or my money back. Of course, with no paperwork, I have little recourse. I went to their head office but made no headway. Now, I have 2 empty useless tanks........Had to go buy 2 new small ones from another company.
I have medium size tanks that I bought....customer owned tanks where I do business can be swapped or exchanged for full ones..just pay for the contents. Since they exchange the tanks..they (the company) are responsible for testing, and re- certification etc. The company has changed hands but I did keep my paperwaork and they issued me new paperwork with thier company name on it. I have had this customer owned set up for years with no problem and I used to lease the tanks but this is cheaper.
It sounds like I might want to rent the tanks for a little while, until I figure out what size I am going to need and then buy some. When the time comes to buy my tanks, where do you guys recommend I get them from?
I have a particular shop that that I do business with as they honor the web prices and they have either rental tanks or customer owned..I have my own as I got tired of the paying demmurage on the rentals..
I have some smaller tanks but I have my setup on a handtruck that I made into a torch cart..works really well and I have about 30 ft of hose on my rig..makes a difference when out in the yard doing some cutting..way more convient than those little tanks that run out quickly..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
When I ran my shop I did thousands of dollars with the local gas supplier but since I retired they don't even seem to remember me anymore so now I find myself going to both Tractor Supply and Northern Tool, whichever is handy at the time. Around this area they have about the best deal going where you just buy your tanks and exchange them when empty for whatever size you want (they just add the difference in cost if you go larger). They will take any customer owned tank as long as the inspection date is current whether it came from them or not plus they are open on Sunday .
That is an issue when a fellow just needs small amounts of material..Some people just do not care unless you are doing lots of business with them..
Tha tis why I like to do business with local people to me here rather than the big outfits..We have a local auto parts store that has tanks and will get them refilled and it is reasonalbe considering the fact I woudl have to drive 40-50 miles one way to use the big guys tanks..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Buying an oxy/acetylene set up
Yeah I runn 2 small tank's oxygen and acetylene both 1/2 the size of the big bottles << Standard size.
Avoid the super small portable Bottles <<, There a joke .
I bought my Bottles from California Tool and, welding Supply 1/2 standard size .
The Oxygen bottle runn's out first Generally .
I generally use 2-3 oxy bottles per bottle of acetylene .
Dependin on if cutting or welding .
The Cart <<< Is the ticket too portable , when it comes too portability of your set .
I pull my set around in the dirt by my self .
2 guy;s too load it in back of a truck .
Yett if I had too I could load it my self , fairly easy .
But then Im a Big guy . 250+ Lbs ?
So I reccomend 2 of the 1/2 standard size bottles, too start .
Generally you buy them from Welding shop I paid 100 Buck's a peice for mine .
Then when I need them refilled I just swapp bottles with them . <<, way it work's with every sett ive used over last 30+ year's in every shop ive worked in ? You buy the bottles first time , then swapp your bottles for filled ones .
Trick here is too know that you will alway's be fetchin Oxygen with 1/2 sized oxy bottle .
So Build a cart that will handle the Load .
Both Bottles << Keeping in mind that you will eventually want too upgrade your Oxygen Bottle too a full size standard bottle .
So your Cart should be able too handle 2 of the 1/2 size bottles with intentions of runnin the full sized Oxygen bottle at a Later date .
This will give you a 1/2 Size Oxygen bottle as a back up when you eventually upgrade with larger bottle of oxygen
Think about it ?
All the Set up's you have seen in Shop's Majority has been 1/2 sized Bottle of Acetylene with the Big bottle of Oxygen .
That is right Combo too Runn out at same time, approx .
But for portability 1/2 sized Oxygen Bottle <<, Makes it where you can still manage the set up, in the dirt , possibly load it in back of a pickup by your self .
Or least easily with 2 guy's .
Just build the cart with intention's of Upgradeing the Oxygen bottle, too the full size, at later Date . << Now you can do both?
Now Ive seen the Mini Bottles sold at Harbour Freight , Lowes , Home depo etc .
There a joke ! Waste of time !
Buy certified Bottles from reputable welding supply only .
If you can buy a Victor Torch set up at Lowes or Home Depo etc. at good price ?
That's fine !
But for bottles and supplies you need too do bussiness with a welding shop that , fill's and certifies bottles . <<, Money ahead in my opinion .
The advice you get alone is worth , any xtra that they charge on Rodd or High dollar Helmet's with flames on it etc.
Hope wasnt too long winded ?
Cart is every thing , for portability !
Stay away from pneumatic tire requireing air . <<< Dont last long sittin or being pulled around hot embers .
Then your pullin a Cart with a Flatt, 1/2 time Etc. << Real pain !
Solid large tires << reccomended .
Hope this answers your question's ! Sean .
Sean--- Thanks for the info, I hadn't thought about the bottle sizes until you mentioned it but I do remember the O2 bottle being bigger. I decided to get the good Victor torch, the Super Range II, and when I bought it I got a cart as well. Nothing fancy, but it does have big solid wheels and is designed to hold 2 full size bottles. I guess I need to go and talk to AirGas here and see how they do the bottles, rental or purchase. I definitely like the idea of buying them and just having them swapped when I come back to get more gas.
So for the sizes, should I get a 80cf oxygen bottle and a 60cf Acetylene. I don't want to be running back and forth to get more gas all the time, but I don't want to go to big either. At first I am sure I will go through a ton of gas, since I will be refreshing my memory on how to weld with a torch as it has been quite a while. I'm sure there will be questions coming on that subject, but I'll save those until I have the torch.
Leggo, The super small acetylene bottle he is talking about is the MC size and the oxygen is the 20 cubic ft size, he is right they are a joke for about anything except soldering pipe. Acetylene tanks come in many sizes and there really is no one standard size so what you need to do is look for the cubic ft capacity of the gas marked on the bottle. The common sizes, the actual amount contained will vary slightly depending on the fill but this should be marked on the tank, are 10 cubic ft (worthless) about 13" tall and around 8-10 lbs, 40 cubic ft (easy to handle and will obviously last 4 times as long as the MC tank) about 20" tall and around 25-30 lbs, 75 cubic ft (good all-round size) about 25-28" tall and around 45-50 lbs, 100 cubic ft (less commonly found than the 145 size) about 35"-38" tall and around 55-60 lbs, 145 cubic ft (excellent size if you can handle moderate weight) about 40"-45" tall and around 75-80 lbs, There are many sizes larger than this with the next size up being over 100 lbs and more than 200 cubic ft of gas and it goes up from there but now you are getting into industrial sizes . A simple way to chose an oxygen tank would be to select one about twice the size (size of the tank not cubic ft of the gas) of the acetylene bottle, for comparison the 75 cubic ft acetylene at about 32" and 50 lbs or so with the oxygen tank being 250 cubic ft at about 55"-60" and 115 lbs or so. If that oxygen tank is too heavy then a bit less of a match but still pretty good would be 140 cubic ft at about 45" and 70-75 lbs and of course you can go even smaller on the oxygen it just depends on how often you are willing to refill. there are literally hundreds of combos you can come up with but what I have listed should give an idea of where to start. These figures are only estimates but I think they are very close just remember that the larger you go the cheaper per cubic ft of gas usually by quite a bit.
About how much weight would you want to handle?
Oldred--- thanks for the info. I am going to go to the local shop here and see what they have. I really don't want to be running back and forth a lot for gas. And of course you know you always run out on Saturday evening so you can't do anything until Monday. I want to get the best setup I can, but I am limited to how much I can move right now, being one legged and all. Hopefully that will change here soon and I'll be back to normal.
As for the cart, I got what I think is a good one. It looks a lot like this one, but with bigger tires.Cart
Is that around a standard size, and how big of a bottle can I go with something like this one.
Thanks to everyone for answering my questions, I am sure some of you out there think they are stupid... but everyone needs to start somewhere and you guys are definetely making it a lot easier for me. Thanks

Payroll Advances
Sometimes people need emergency cash to meet unexpected expenses quickly and conveniently. Some typical circumstances requiring fast cash include: emergency car repairs, sudden repairs to the home, that suddenly unbearable toothache, or a child's trip to the Urgent Care Center may require an emergency cash advance. A payday loan of $100 to $500 can be obtained by visiting one of our participating Easy Money™ locations.
At the store, you simply write out a personal check for the amount you are qualified to borrow plus the finance charges, and you receive your cash instantly. The check is held up to 31 days to allow for your next payday; at that time you may pay off your loan in cash or we will deposit your check to pay it off.
Applying for and obtaining quick cash in this way is relatively simple. You will need a valid bank account, proof of a steady source of income, proof of social security number, and identification. The typical term for one of these loans is 14 days. Your eligibility is subject to a statewide database.

JP Morgan Ups Continental Airlines to 'Overweight'
JP Morgan upgraded Continental Airlines (CAL ) to overweight from neutral.
Analyst Jamie Baker says he upgraded following recent share-price underperformance. He says Continental is trading more like a carrier in a labor crisis than one that's expected to produce full-year profit.
Baker thinks CEO and Chairman Bethune's planned retirement, weak domestic revenue trends, and recent cost achievements at rival American Airlines don't sully Continental's still respectable cost structure and well diversified network. He considers Continental's break-even ambitions for 2004 as entirely too low. Baker's 65 cents 2004 earnings per share estimate, lowered from 90 cents, is much higher. He sees $3.05 2005 earnings per share.

BRITAIN'S Got Talent star Susan Boyle got her first kiss yesterday - from two determined fans.
Starstruck Mathew Balderston, 33, and Kevin Hepworth, 20, did a 50-mile round trip to track down the singing sensation who has become one of the internet's biggest hits.
And the pair, from Alloa, had their efforts rewarded when they spotted their idol leaving her home.
Susan - wearing a printed dress, leather jacket and bronze shoes - stopped so they could give her a kiss and take her picture.
Kevin told her: "You're brilliant, Susan. You'll go far."
"We drove all the way from Alloa on the off-chance that we might see her and we had been driving round the streets when we spotted her.
"I can't believe we were so lucky."
Spinster Susan, 48, admitted to the Britain's Got Talent judges when she first appeared on the show that she had never been kissed.
And she said yesterday she had decided to smarten up her image feel "frumpy".
Since her first appearance, she has been to a hairdresser to tame her wild waves and she has vowed to watch her weight too.
She said: "When there is this much attention on you, you have to plan what you wear every day and look your best. I just want to look nice and smart." Meanwhile, Susan's MSP Mary Mulligan has joined the chorus of praise for her - with a Holyrood motion congratulating her on her performance.
The Labour MSP's motion notes Susan's rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables has now had 50million hits on YouTube.
It commends Susan for her devotion to her family, church and singing and encourages all of Scotland to show support for her.
Mulligan said last night: "Susan is agreat example of what ordinary people can do when they get the chance."

Crack in tiller gas tank
3 Attachment(s)
I had my old Craftsman 24" 5.5HP tiller out today getting the garden ready for planting. After I was using it awhile I noticed gas dripping from the front of the gas tank and found there is a small crack in the plastic tank. Any simple fix suggestions? I am leaning towards trying clear silicone on the crack.
I've never had a reason to try it but do some research on plastic welding if you can't find a new tank .
JB Weld.. :p
I would see how much a new tank will set you back before spending a lot on plastic weld materials that may not hold unless you can get both sides spotlessly clean. And then, the gas may eat away quickly at the weld.
I think the Craftsman parts catalogs are availed online. I was the PMT for a Sears store and was willing to help folks out when appropriate in ways the parts and service writing folks could not. If the folks were quiet about it. You had to ask for me by title though so ask for the PMT at your store.
It's a Briggs and Stratton engine part that is still available for about $70.00 and for that kind of cash I think it's worth trying to cob a patch on the tank myself. If it holds I'll let take a picture and post it. :whistling2:
Just order a new tank. Your local small engine shop should either have a spare tank in their stock that will work, or you can order online.
They make special 2 part epoxies specifically for gas tanks, you could give one of those a shot. I would still use JB Weld, though. Dropping $70 on a new tank for an aged piece of equipment is not my cup of tea. I'd probably just get a whole new machine before I would spend $70 on a hunk of plastic.
So long as you understand the risks of operating a machine that has been modified, I'd say absolutely try patching it first.
You will never get that to seal. This is an impossible fix. People that are saying expoxy and what not have never attempted this sort of repair. Nothing will ever stick to that well enough to fix it. If you must I think ivory soap is what will work about the best. Yeah, a bar of soap seals those tanks better than anything.
For the record, I've used JB-Weld on a boat gas tank and it held fine, can't imagine that small engine is much different.
Check on Amazon.com. I am finding B&S tanks for anywhere from 50 to 80. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...tton+fuel+tank
I used GE 100% Clear Silicone caulk. Gooped it on about 3/8" - 1/2" thick and about 2" x 2" . I filled the tank today to the brim, tightened the cap and used the tiller in the hot sun for about an hour and there was no leaking. Tomorrow I will be using it again. So far so good.
Oh, as far as the SIlicone goes, try embedding fiberglass drywall tape in the repair while its wet and top coating it. Reinforces the Silicone, giving it more tensile strength. If the silicone fails, try Marine-Tex. Now that stuff is amazing. It smokes when you mix part A and B so you know its good stuff. I repaired a crack in my pool steps that were made from CPE with that stuff. Its the only thing that would hold up in the presence of chlorinated water under pressure. I embedded polyester in that repair. That repair was made in 1996. What year is it now? :laughing:
Try Jacks Small Engines/ Briggs and Stratton or MowParts

Authentic Cypriot Taverna Brandy Sour Cocktail
Recipe by French Tart
These were without doubt the most popular drink that we served in the restaurant I ran in Cyprus! They are known as the National Drink of Cyprus, and are delicious as well as being very refreshing. We used to make these with the local Cypriot brandy, which is not as strong as normal French brandy or cognac and has a delectable caramel taste to it. We also used the local angostura bitters, known as "Cock Drops", which as you can imagine, brought raised eyebrows and howls of laughter from overseas guests and tourists! A little history behind the cocktail: The Cypriot Brandy Sour style was developed following the introduction of the first blended brandy made on Cyprus, by the Haggipavlu family, in the early 1930s. The cocktail was developed at the Forest Park Hotel, in the hill-resort of Plátres in the beautiful Troodos Mountain range, for the young King Farouk of Egypt, who often stayed at the hotel during his frequent visits to the island. The Brandy Sour was introduced as an alcoholic substitute for iced tea, as a way of disguising the Muslim monarch's preference for Western-style cocktails. The drink subsequently spread to other bars and hotels in the fasionable Platres area, before making its way to the coastal resorts of Limassol, Paphos and Kyrenia, and the capital Nicosia. With increasing numbers of tourists visiting the island in the last thirty years, and the large garrison of British servicemen stationed on the island, the Cypriot Brandy Sour is now known around the world. This is how we used to make them in our restaurant - a trade secet shared!!
Top Review by Jessie MacMillan
Yum! I was looking for something citrus-y and refreshing and this definitely did the trick. I made it first with lemonade, then with soda, then finally with a combination of the two (oh, it was a very good party!). The lemonade was too sweet, the soda was too dry, and the combo was just right. Follow the directions to get the best taste because the ingredients are perfectly balanced.
See Discussion:3 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 ounces brandy (2 measures (typically KEO VSOP or Haggipavlu Anglias brands)
- 1 1⁄2 ounces lemon cordial, to taste (1 measure)
- 2 -4 drops bitters (Angostura or Cypriot Cock Drops brands)
- lemonade or soda water
- ice
Directions See How It's Made
- Add the angostura bitters to a tall glass, and then pour in the brandy followed by the lemon cordial. (2 measures of brandy to 1 measure of lemon cordial is the ratio.).
- Stir before topping up with lemonade (for a classic, slightly sweeter drink) or soda water (for less sweetness and a more pronounced brandy flavour) and add plenty of ice.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Buccaneers wide receivers Vincent Jackson has two injured ribs that need five weeks to fully heal. However, he may still play today versus the Cardinals. According to Rapoport, Jackson wants to play and is deciding whether or not to take a pain-killing injection prior to the game "to tough it out." He adds that the Bucs are thinking about holding Jackson out, especially since they are on bye next week.
Fantasy Analysis:
We will know Jackson's official status in a couple of hours, but he is shaping up to be a very risky fantasy start. There's no doubt that he will be limited, and the chances of him exiting early due to re-injury seem high. Not to mention that facing cornerback Patrick Peterson isn't a walk in the park. With Mike Williams also iffy because of a hamstring injury, it could be a long day for new starting quarterback Mike Glennon. Doug Martin is in line to get a ton of touches.

Attn.: Hiram Bernstein
Re: Comments to Proposed Rule Changes
I welcome the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes in the rules at this early stage in the rule making process. I also welcome the attempt by the PTO to improve its service and efficiency. However, I fear that some of the changes suggested in the notice would be self defeating and/or place a greater burden on the applicant than they would relieve from the patent office. Some of the would actually add to the burden of the Patent Office.
In the following discussion I am limiting my comments to those items about which I feel strongly. With respect to the other changes, I do not have very strong feelings.
1) New Rules Regarding Declarations.
On balance, allowing very late submission of declarations is not a good idea. I believe that overall it will result in very many cases in which no declaration can be submitted, because the inventor is unavailable or is not willing to sign, since he no longer works for the owner of the invention. Furthermore, since peoples' memories and interest dim with time, there would be little chance of a real review of the application and claims by the inventors or in making a proper determination of inventorship. For those few cases where the inventor is not available or is unwilling to sign at the time of filing, adequate remedies exist.
However, if such late filings are allowed, then requiring that they be filed before the notice of allowance is not a very good idea, since it is only after the claims are allowed that the inventors in the patent itself can be determined with absolute certainty. To require filing a continuation to change inventors at that time would be self defeating.
2) Limiting the number of claims. I very strongly disagree with this proposed change. Some of my reasons are:
a) Many of the patents with large numbers of claims are breakthrough inventions, namely inventions which can be broadly claimed, but which also contain substantial patentable subject matter in specific features of the invention. In addition such inventions almost always have many related aspects each of which define the invention in a different, somewhat independent, way. The proposed rule would make protection of such inventions very complicated and expensive and, in fact would lead to poorer examination, since the examiner would not be aware of all of the aspects, which the applicant believes to be patentable, when examining only an individual one of them.
b) Prosecution would be made unreasonably complicated. At present, if an examiner rejects an independent claim and objects to several dependent claims as being dependent from an unallowable claim, the applicant may make each of the dependent claims independent and quickly move to allowance. The new rule would make this impossible, with no benefit to the examiner or the patent office (except for his getting extra points for a divisional or continuation and the patent office getting extra fees). The requirement for filing a new application would add tremendous expense to what should be a simple process.
c) The number of claims are already self limiting. 500 extra claims cost $5000 for small entities and $10,000 for large entities, not to mention the costs for preparing such claim sets. Even higher costs are levied for excess independent claims. I am convinced that while you do get such large sets, most of them are indeed justified by the nature of the invention. It is hard to consider having a large number of claims as an abuse, considering the amounts paid for the privilege. Furthermore, if European practice (multiple dependencies and multiple-multiple dependencies for the price of one claim) were adopted, the entire claim structures (and the present problems of examination of large numbers of claims) would be greatly reduced.
d) The envisioned improvements in efficiency and cost effectiveness are not real. In fact, it is hardly cheaper (in fees) to file two case with 3 independent claims and 20 total claims each than it is to file one application with 6 independent claims and 40 total claims. The extra cost to the PTO and to the applicant in filing additional applications is, however, enormous. Thus, we have more cost to the applicant, not much extra money for the patent office and enormous extra costs to the patent office. The proposed changes are hard to justify on the basis of efficiency and resource allocation.
e) The proposed remedies will not result in a reduction in burden on the PTO. On the contrary, the filing of additional applications will result in added costs and added burden on the patent office. Part of the problem is that the fees paid for such applications are not reflected in the workload determination of the Examiner or even of the office. If an examiner were given points based on the number of claims in an application or the fees paid (for example) then the apparent problem would not seem quite so serious to the Examiner and the justification for the allocation of resources would be clearer.
e) Remedies already exist for dealing with those few cases of abuse. The Examiner may require restriction of the claims, which is very common when many independent claims are submitted. When appropriate the Examiner may require a reduction in the number of claims in accordance with the statute, if the number of claims is excessive. This later remedy is seldom used, probably because of the reason given in c) above. In fact, while some cases as filed have many claims, many fewer patents as issued have such large numbers of claims. In fact, under the present system the patent office gets paid for many claims which never make it past the restriction process. This is a net income gain for the Patent Office.
In summary, the suggested rule change is counterproductive to the goals of the patent office and is a waste of time and money for both the applicant and patent office.
3) Alternatives to appeal. I find the alternatives proposed to be very interesting and in principle, I am very much in favor of some sort of quality review before a full blown appeal is undertaken. However, I wonder why they are not part of a good quality control program that the patent office should be following by itself and why the applicant should be paying for them. However, over and above this philosophical problem, I have some additional practical misgivings with the proposed changes:
a) The limited pre-brief review should also consider the arguments presented in the communications with the Examiner. Limiting the review to the question of whether the examiner has made a prima facie case will probably have very little interest to most practitioners.
b) The question always arises in such non-binding reviews is whether all the applicant would get for his money is just two examiners arguments rather than one. When the second examiner "confers" with the first examiner, especially if they are in the same group, the result may just be a stronger restatement of the existing rejection, for example in the response to the appeal brief. Why should an applicant pay for that?
c) Since this non-binding review counts against the 20 year period of the patent, there would be great reluctance to use it unless it were very fast and the benefits were evident. What has been proposed does not appear to give the requisite benefits.
In summary, I agree with the premise of the suggested changes that too many cases go to appeal unnecessarily. However, I believe that this is a patent office problem to be solved by the patent office by improving its quality control. I would, however, be in favor of a review process which is binding on the examiner, based on a review of the record after filing the notice of appeal and/or on the appeal brief.
4) Drawings requirements. It seems to me that all problems mentioned would be solved if there were an absolute requirement to file the drawings with or before the issue fee. No real purpose is served by a requirement that they be filed any earlier.
5) Replacement of paragraphs and claims. I heartily agree with the suggestion. Furthermore, I believe that there is a distinct advantage to both the applicant and the examiner to requiring that a clean copy of all the claims be required as an appendix of any response or other paper in which any amendments are made. This would make it easier for the examiner and the attorney to review all the claims and to catch §112 problems, especially those that involve cross-claim antecedents. However, I believe that paragraph replacement is more problematic, for example for tables and the like. Also it would require editing out the paragraph numbers when printing the patent. Finally, inserting paragraph numbers and amending them may be problematical. I would suggest a requirement that the lines in a specification be numbered and that only lines be replaced.
6) Changes in IDS practice. The present problems described in the notice are the result of the harsh penalties for non-disclosure or mis-disclosure of information. Thus, the requirements of the proposal, while they seem simple and logical enough do not take into account a number of factors listed below. The current IDS problem is of the PTO's own making. The USPTO is almost the only patent authority which requires that art known to the applicant be submitted. In almost all other offices, including the EPO and Japan, which issue patents of excellent quality, the Examiner is responsible for finding the art. It is my opinion that the requirement under rule 56 actually results in poorer searches by the examiner who is, in some degree biased by the art which is submitted and which is almost never cited against the claims.
a) When a prior art reference is brought to an applicant's or patentee's attention as a result of litigation or pre-litigation maneuvers, the requirement that that the applicant commit himself is very onerous and destructive of the applicant's rights and his ability to defend his patent in litigation. For example, when a defendant or other accused infringer argues that claims are invalid, there is no better way to bring these arguments and counter arguments to the attention of the Examiner than by giving him the filings of both sides. It would only fair however, to require that the Examiner be given some guidance as to where in the papers he can find the arguments of both sides.
b) When a patent is cited by an examiner in a related application, the applicant is in a similar position of being asked to give one side of the argument and then suffer the consequences of not having given the previous Examiner's side. To protect the validity of the patent, the applicant will have to explain the examiner's side as well, with which he obviously disagrees. Since a reference may be cited without explanation if it is cited in a foreign application, why can't it be cited without explanation, if it is cited in a US application.
c) The proposal requires that the "relevance" of the reference be described. The courts and many patent attorneys are having enough problems with the definition of a "material" reference. The patent office is now adding a new term to the lexicon of litigation matters. We can expect that enactment of the new rule will result in endless litigation and arguments that the "relevance" of the reference was not properly described.
d) Here again, the present practice does have built in safeguards. In my experience, when an examiner has been given worthless art to review, he can, and sometimes does, refuse to review it without some winnowing by the applicant. Furthermore, the hiding of relevant art by submission of numerous irrelevant references is frowned on by the courts and is almost as dangerous as not submitting the art itself. This acts to make the abuse relatively rare.
e) The requirement that the submitting attorney certify that the art submitted was reviewed is reasonable. If the Examiner is required to review the art, so should the attorney. However, a requirement that the attorney find the art relevant, whatever that means legally, is one that should be avoided. The very requirement to provide "material" art already is a very significant cost factor in subsequent litigation, there is no need to add to the problem.
f) Rather than the proposed limitations, the Patent Office may want to consider an additional fee for excess references.
g) If the patent office insists on some sort of restriction on IDSs to avoid abuses, then at the least the patent office should broaden the "exempt" category to include art cited by the examiner in related US applications; art cited by a litigant in a suit; art cited by a accused infringer or art cited by an opposer in an opposition overseas. In addition, at most the applicant should only be required to point the Examiner to what the applicant considers to be the relevant passages in the reference, much as a foreign patent office does in a search report. The rule should state that this reference to portions of the reference is for guidance only and that the Examiner has the ultimate responsibility to review the entire document.
7) I very much disagree with the proposed changes in restriction practice. Of all the changes proposed, this one seems to have the least real benefit. At present in a great number of cases restriction is taken care of with a telephone call. Secondly, the Examiner is often incorrect in his assessment and changes his mind when arguments are presented. If the search and examination is made with the first action, the examiner will be especially reluctant to change his mind since doing so will not only result in an additional search (rather than just a search in the same art or in one or two additional classes for related inventions) and will also result in an additional office action. Restriction practice is already heavily weighted against the applicant.
Furthermore, if the Examiner does not accept a traverse of the restriction requirement, and he has a strong motivation not to do so, this would only become known in a final office action or in a notice of allowance. Overcoming the examiner's finding would require a petition after final, a very difficult process, considering the short time available and the necessity for placing the application in order for allowance. One can expect a much larger number of petitions in this regard, which would result would result in a larger burden on the patent office than it would relieve.
I note that in jurisdictions, such as the EPO, where a similar restriction process is used, the restriction is first made in a search phase of the application. In this phase the applicant may pay for an extra search in the same application or contest the restriction finding (to the "search division" but not to the Examiner himself). Thus, the applicant need not file a number of inventions to receive searches of multiple inventions. The efficiency and economy of such a system is self evident. Furthermore, when restriction is required during the examination phase, there are no statutory time limits running against the application nor is there the danger of receiving a final action and the additional burden that entails. It appears to me that the rule change proposed by the PTO, while applicable to the type of system used in the EPO, is not really applicable to the US patenting process.
Whatever the advantages of changing the restriction process, and they appear to be limited to speeding up the examination, they would be more than offset by the extra costs involved with filing additional applications, often for the same invention. Little calendar time is spent in the restriction process and the new system would hardly affect the workload of the Examiner.
Further, the real culprit in the long times required for processing a patent application in the US are the time it takes for the office to take up a patent application for first action and the time between a response by the applicant and subsequent actions.
The only real advantage that I can see to the changes proposed would be that the examiner would no longer be able to restrict based on figures since under the proposed system the examiner would have to decide himself which claims go with which invention. The present practice results in associations and divisions which have little to do with the various inventions claimed.

Final JLA Film Characters
First anyone wondering about the source, they're the ones who leaked the TMNT reboot script. Second, the roster kind of sucks tbh, but if they can give each character enough time like Wheddon did with Avengers then it should still be fun to watch, and no Martian Manhunter is pretty shitty.
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
Poor Spiderman :D
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
No Aquaman? OUTRAGEOUS!
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
No aquaman sucks
But flash being in the movie instantly makes it awesome
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
I can live with that. They're going with the ones everybody knows, which is probably the right choice. Fact is, most people except DC comic enthusiasts or people like myself who splurged on the cartoons have no idea who the Manhunter even is, and he'd have to get his own movie to explain his story appropriately, or he'd just be out of place amongst the known ones, and I just don't see a Manhunter movie doing well at the box office.
As for Aquaman, fuck him, it's Aquaman. The Dane Cook of Superheroes, to spin around a phrase from the great Sterling Archer.
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
I feel bad for those guys, Flash is going to hog all the spotlight.
Unless its Barry :sandow
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
Personally, the hype for this is going to kill me all because of Superman. Cannot stand the character. At least with The Avengers, I reasonably liked all of them with Thor half and half. Just don't see anything in Superman.
Rest of the characters who made it are alright, I don't really have much of a problem.
Re: Final JLA Film Characters
I'm not sure how much most of you are into the JLA, but really they kinda fucked up. The first appearance of JLA, the line up is Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, and they have been the original and leading members since. So dropping out just two of the originals kinda makes it look like they really don't want to bother writing everyone. Almost like a cash in sequel, only it's not a sequel. But, I was pretty much fully expecting them to drop at least one person anyway since there is literally no chance of us getting movies leading into this when there's only two years left aside from maybe Man of Steel.

A/C Problems Demystified
June 30th, 2016
Believe it or not, the A/C system in your vehicle is fairly simple in principle and design. Like your refrigerator, it operates on a cycle of compression and expansion of a gas, known as refrigerant. The compressor turns the gas into a liquid, and as the gas evaporates it provides cooling. Like your refrigerator, its main components are:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Receiver/dryer
- Thermostatic expansion valve
- Evaporator
- Refrigerant
- Blower
The good news is most automotive A/C systems have become very robust and reliable compared to cars from a generation ago. Most of the time, poor performance is due to low refrigerant levels due to lea ...[more]

Dec. 8, 2013
State College, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh wrestling team (3-1) dropped a 28-9 contest to No. 1 Penn State (5-0) in front of a record crowd of 15,996 at the Bryce Jordan Center.
After the Nittany Lions took a close bout at 125 pounds to open the dual, Shelton Mack evened the bout with a win over Jordan Conaway. The two 133 pounders were even at the beginning of the third but Mack went on a flurry scoring a pair of takedowns in the final minute to earn the 5-2 decision.
Penn State earned a narrow 3-2 win at 141 pounds to regain the lead heading into the bout between Mikey Racciato and James English at 149 pounds. The two wrestlers went back-and-forth throughout the bout before a flurry of action near the end of the match where Racciato was able to get English to his back for the fall at 6:52. The pin gave Pitt a 9-6 lead and silenced the sold-out crowd.
PSU was able to even the match at 9-9 heading into the break with a win at 157 pounds.
Coming out of the break the Nittany Lions were able to win the final five bouts to take the match, 28-9.
The Panthers will return to action on Saturday, Dec. 21, when they face in-state rival Bucknell at Sojka Pavillion in Lewisburg, Pa..

Okay, this incident happened at our church parking lot around 6:45PM today. My father in law was getting out of the car and some guy shows up from no where (fully drunk) threatens my father in law, grabs his arm and snatches the key from him. My father in law came running inside the church saying "someone is stealing his car" and I was inside the church when this all happened, so I stepped out of the building and saw the guy backing out taking off with the Catera. I ran inside the building grabbed my keys and tried to follow him and he was no where to be found. Also, there are so many smalls streets and main roads so no way of knowing which way he went. :(
Called the police and they came by took the reports...etc.
Also, this is the car I have worked on several times and it was running good so far. I want to say thank you for all your help and lets hope someone finds it soon and in one piece!!!

text: I skipped the Ralph Fiennes and his mile high club adventures the first time through. This time however, they got me to write. Seems the flight attendant who had sex with Ralph in the lav of the plane and lost her job may be pregnant. In quite possibly the most ridiculous Q&A ever, flight attendant Lisa Robertson was asked if she could be pregnant since no protection was used. Her answer, "Perhaps, yeah." Way to get people to pay just a little bit more attention to the story. Next week they will ask her if she was pregnant, do you think it could be twins? "Perhaps, yeah." The next week they will ask do you think Ralph will marry you? "Perhaps, yeah." The next week they will ask if Victoria Beckham is an alien. "Definitely. No question about it."

Wiring a Light
I am installing a light in my basement and need some help on the installation. I know that all splices have to take place inside a box however I need to attach the light to a wood beam running down the middle of the basement. I can not put a box in the wood however I can put the box above the wood and drill a hole through the beam for the wires to run in. I guess as long as the wires from my fixture are long enough to go through the hole in the beam and be spliced in the box I am ok, just need some advice on this. Attached is a pic of what I hope to do.
Pan box screwed to the bottom of the beam. Then cut the trim around the pan box.
Hole though the beam is not acceptable. Also box needs to be accessible. Are you planning an access door for it?
Pancake box mounted to the bottom of the beam is what you need.

Arsène Wenger believes that Arsenal's pairing with Liverpool in the Quarter-Final of the Champions League will be both interesting and challenging.
The draw was made on Friday afternoon at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. It means a triple-header against the five-time European champions at the start of April - the two-legged tie sandwiching a Premier League fixture at Emirates Stadium.
League position would suggest that Arsenal are favourites to progress, but Wenger is well aware of the Merseysiders' threat, especially in Europe.
"It is an interesting and challenging draw," said the Frenchman. "It is a big opponent and we play them three times [in a week] and you will not know what competition it is. All that you will know is it is Liverpool.
"They raise their game in the Champions League. We know we can beat them and therefore it is the form of the day that will be the decider. We will focus and concentrate to be at our best on the day.
And is clashing with an English side a problem? Wenger
doesn't think so.
"Not especially," he said. "You know when you have four clubs from England in the Quarter-Final, you will have to play one or two at some stage.
"If you want to go to the final and win the final you have to get through that."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

RED, I fully agree with what you have had to say on the subject.....
All those lenses begin at shade 5 regardless and that offers adequate protection from momentary flash at any rate.
Only a moron would continue trying to use a lense that failed to immediately switch darker....
And as I mentioned previously, the solar version similar to harbors unit has served me very well for last couple years....for me it has worked just great and reliably with no ill effects....For me it has proven to be a great product!
And I have done an awful lot of welding over the last 40 years and my eyes are very light sensitive....and especially so in recent years because I need reading glasses to see anything close up because of my age and I have to wear them as well when I weld or I cannot see what is going on in the puddle clearly.
If the lense in my "cheap'auto helmet was not working as it should, I would certainly have felt the effects of it, especially given the magnifying effect of reading glasses.....and mig/tig is primarilly what I do and as you know, those arcs are especially high UV and very bright!
and I can afford a $400 helmet.....but I have yet to experience the need....and I am not convinced that they would perform better!

Zetec Turbo Build: 230-250whp, then 330+whp
I thought I would finally post my plans as this is getting much closer to being all put together after a long time collecting parts:
* My goals are 300-330whp once I put in the new engine I am building.
* Current goals on the stock engine are 230-250whp.
I suppose I will start with a parts list, let me know if I am missing anything:
- 2002 ZX3, manual tranny, 88k on clock.
INITIAL (on stock block):
- Turbonetics T3 super 60 .43 AR turbo, ceramic exhaust coating, polished.
- Turbonetics EVO wastegate (multiple psi springs)
- Custom manifold by TurboFab
- Custom DP and WG dump by Top Speed
- SVT 2.5" trubendz exhaust conversion
- Zetec 2.5" trubendz flex pipe
- 50lb injectors
- 2000 Intake manifold, ported
- Focus Central 70mm throttle body
- 180* thermostat w/new housing
- Lakewood traction bars
--> might switch to TopSpeed's new design once out
- FS lower stress bar
--> Will have to come off as the dp will not clear with it on
- CFM billet aluminum tensioner
- Massive 3 piece UDP
- Gates racing timing belt and acc belts
- Focus Power piping and intercooler
- Greddy type-S BOV
- Innovate wideband AF gauge
- AEM TruBoost turbo controller gauge
- Autometer digital oil pressure gauge
- STR high flow fuel rail
- EGR blockoff plate
- CFM breather plate
- SCT flash tuner
- TopSpeed battery tray/catchcan, slim battery, new terminals
- New much better conduction 1666 strand power cables, new grounds.
- stage3 coolant tank
- stage3 power steering tank
- JayRacing aluminum coolant junction
- New silicone vacuum hoses
- New billet aluminum vacuum junction
- ARP head studs
- New silicone coolant hoses
* I am switching all of the cooling system including hoses to -an hoses from 16 for the largest, 12 for mid size, and -6/-8 for smaller lines. Dominic is going to make a me a new -16an billet flange and fitting to attach to the stock thermostat housing as well as fab up an aluminum radiator w/-an fittings and side tanks.
* I am converting the entire power steering system from the retarded rubber and hard lines passing over the header to complete -6an lines with a fluidyne cooler to replace the makeshift crappy stock cooler.
(Check posts on pgs 2-3+ for info on this and progress. It will soon be made as soon as the snow stops and I can go outside and take some measurements).
- 2000 zetec block
- 9.0:1 Probe pistons
- Eagle Rods
- Stock bearings
- New svt oil pump
- new svt water pump
- Centerforce billet 9lb flywheel
- Torsen T2 LSD
- APR flywheel bolts
- ARP main bolts
* I may be missing things I have but I will try and remember...
* All of the above I have already bought and have installed some parts.
My questions are:
1) I need a clutch at some point, im sure it won't last long. I need some recommendations. I dont have a ton of money for this so an Exedy hyper-single for $1,100 isnt good lol.
2) I was going to have Terry Haynes from HMS install my LSD...he recommends getting the tower keyed, recommendations?
2.1) I was also thinking new shift forks in the tranny if i do a complete overhaul?
2.2) I wanted to lower my final drive gear to one from a duratec or zetec to a 3.41 (if i remember the num correctly) with pzev. Reason being to ease the power off the line for better traction.
3) I know my T3 super 60 is good for 325-330 if i remember correctly. What would be a good replacement after I want more power?
I'm gonna have more questions, but I will appreciate thoughts, comments, suggestions, criticisms!
