Four Things Every Inventor Should Do by March 15

In 2011, Congress enacted a fundamental change to U.S. patent law,(1) changing the priority of the right to a patent from the first inventor to the first to file an application for a patent and redefining what can be used to deny a patent to an inventor.(2) A simple example will illustrate the changes that go into effect this March. Imagine two individuals: Inventor and Filer. Inventor comes up with a patentable invention on June 1, 2012, while Filer comes up with roughly the same invention on March 11, 2013. Both work diligently to perfect their inventions and each plans to seek patent protection. Filer has access to greater funding and moves more quickly, filing a patent application on March 14, 2013. If Inventor files an application on March 15, Inventor will get a patent; if Inventor files the same application on March 16, Inventor will be denied the patent. Therefore, March 15 is a critical date for inventors. Here are four things inventors should do now.
1. Circle March 15 in red on your calendar (or its electronic equivalent)
On March 16, 2013, the U.S. patent system will change dramatically. The most publicized of the changes is the switch from the first-to-invent system adopted in 1790(3) to a hybrid system which will generally award a patent to the first person to file a patent application.(4) Another equally significant change is the definition of prior art—those things which the patent office can use to deny a patent on the basis that someone else developed the invention (or something like it).(5) The first change will rarely help the small inventor;(6) the second change will never help any inventor.(7) Therefore, it is important to keep the transition date in mind and to plan to take action to put your invention under the old system or the new system—whichever is to your advantage.
2. Inventory everything that might be a patentable invention
March 15 is a never-to-be-repeated special offer.(8) This is the time to think through everything that might possibly be patentable so that you can evaluate it and make a reasoned decision. You might remove things from the inventory because they do not seem valuable, but anything that is not filed by the transition date (including things that were overlooked and did not make it onto your inventory) will automatically fall under the new rules and cannot be recharacterized.(9)
3. Talk to your patent lawyer (now, not on March 15)
In most cases, it will be better to fall under the current system than to fall under the new system.(10) The decision is based on specific facts and objectives, though, and the only way to evaluate which is best for a particular invention is to analyze the facts and objectives relating to that invention.(11) March 15 will be a busy day for most patent lawyers; now is the time to meet with your patent lawyer and develop a plan so that there is time to implement it by the transition date. If you don't have a patent lawyer, the Patent Office maintains a list of registered patent agents on its website.(12) If you plan to act without a lawyer, at least familiarize yourself with the new statute and the new Patent Office guidelines, also on their website.
4. Consider filing applications on March 15
Only you and your patent lawyer can decide what is the correct strategy for your situation—a good place for a disclaimer: this is not legal advice, this is advice to get legal advice. One strategy to consider is filing the most current and complete disclosure possible on the last day to fall under the current rules.(13) To fall under the current rules, an application must be on file with the Patent Office by the transition date.(14) There is a special rule which considers an application on file if it is delivered to a post office, addressed to the Patent Office by Express Mail.(15) Note that Priority Mail does not work; Federal Express does not work; UPS does not work. If you use this rule, be sure to comply with all of its requirements or your filing date will be the date the Patent Office actually receives your application, (which will probably be too late).
A comparatively inexpensive option is to file one or more Provisional Applications.(16) Recently released Patent Office guidance indicates that an invention fully disclosed will fall under the current rules, even if the claims are added after the transition date (in a Non-Provisional Application).(17) More conservative inventors (or those with highly valuable inventions) may worry that the Patent Office rule is not the last word—the statute is—and prefer to file the more expensive Non-Provisional Application.(18) Even more conservative inventors might choose to file a series of Provisional and Non-Provisional Applications(19) in order to afford maximum flexibility as the courts begin interpreting the new statute (or in case Congress enacts additional clarifications). A simple strategy for inventors with unlimited resources would be to file a non-provisional application on March 15 and an identical non-provisional application on March 16, allowing maximum flexibility.(20)
We are facing a radical change in the patent system. It will take years to develop and test new strategies. At the moment, there is uncertainty and risk—the goal for the next month should be to put in place the framework that will minimize risk and afford maximum flexibility to deal with the uncertainty.

(2) See generally Changes To Implement the First Inventor To File Provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, 78 Fed. Reg. 31, 11023, 31, 11024-25 (Feb. 14, 2013).
(3) Patent Act of 1790, 1 Cong. Ch. 7, 1 Stat. 109 (Apr. 10, 1790) (repealed 1793).
(4) The broad definition of patentability under § 102 will deny a patent if "the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention," 35 U.S.C. § 102(a)(1), or if the claimed invention is an obvious variation of available prior art. See 35 U.S.C. § 103.
(5) See 35 U.S.C. §§ 102-03.
(6) Companies with significant resources can file multiple applications as an invention develops; small inventors will need to limit the number of filings because of cost concerns and therefore will be exposed to the risk of intervening filings. Congress provided a discount of $210 for the first 3 applications by small inventors. This discount pales by comparison to the total cost of preparing and filing an application, and the limited number of applications to which the discount applies precludes small inventors from using some of the safer strategies (e.g., filing a new application with every change in the inventor's conception of the invention.)
(7) This change expands the definition of prior art. In other words, more things can be used to deny a patent. See generally U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE, MANUAL OF PATENT EXAMINING PROCEDURE §§ 901-05 (8th ed., rev. 2012) available at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/mpep-0900.html.
(8) Pursuant to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's examination guidelines: "If an application (1) contains or contained at any time a claimed invention having an effective filing date that is before March 16, 2013 . . . and (2) also contains or contained at any time any claimed invention having an effective filing date that is on or after March 16, 2013 . . . then AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 apply to the application." Examination Guidelines to the First Investor to File Provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, 78 Fed. Reg. 31, 11059, 31, 11072 (Feb. 14, 2013).
(9) Id.
(10) The advantage of being under the old system is that an inventor can antedate any prior art that was not available more than a year before the inventor's application date. See 35 U.S.C. §§ 102-03.(11) There are limited circumstances in which the new system will be better, but they depend on the first inventor failing to file an application before the transition date.
(12) The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website is located at http://www.uspto.gov.
(13) It is critical that the application be as complete as possible. Section 112 requires that: "The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same." 35 U.S.C. § 112(a). If it is necessary to add critical details later, the application will fall under the new law.
(14) See U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE, MANUAL OF PATENT EXAMINING PROCEDURE § 501 (8th ed., rev. 2012) available at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s501.html.
(15) See id. at § 513 available at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s513.html.
(16) Provisional applications do not require the drafting of formal claims and are less expensive to file. They are not, however, examined and cannot be issued as patents. They can only serve as the basis for filing a Non- Provisional Application. See 35 U.S.C. § 111(a).
(17) See Examination Guidelines to the First Investor to File Provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, 78 Fed. Reg. at 31, 11032.
(18) See 35 U.S.C. § 111(b).
(19) Patent applications may now, and after the transition will be able to, claim the benefit of earlier applications. However, the patent office regulations would place an application under the new rules if any new matter is added to a later application in order to support the claimed invention. See Examination Guidelines to the First Investor to File Provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, 78 Fed. Reg. at 31, 11072.
(20) This strategy offers the best of both systems—the applicant will beat any subsequent inventor (as under the pre-transition system) and also will beat even a prior inventor who fails to file before the transition. The strategy only fails against a prior inventor who files before the transition; there is no strategy which will (or should) succeed against such an inventor. Practitioners will recognize that under the "double-patenting" principle, both applications cannot issue as patents, so an election will eventually need to be made. See In re Lonardo, 119 F.3d 960, 965 (Fed. Cir. 1997) (discussing doctrine of double patenting); see also U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE, MANUAL OF PATENT EXAMINING PROCEDURE § 804 (8th ed., rev. 2012) available at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s804.html (defining "double patenting"). A more sophisticated tactic, beyond the scope of this note, eliminates the double-patenting problem, but even this simple strategy allows the inventor to defer making the election until substantive examination which will probably be far enough in the future to allow the situation to be clarified by further regulatory, judicial and perhaps legislative developments. See 37 C.F.R. § 1.78(c) (2012).
The Shadows of Social Networking
By Kyle Gregory February 19, 2013
In a new age where of lawyering technology allows distinct advantages. Many people fail to protect their information adequately. Attorneys, seeking to gain every possible advantage, have started to seek out information on social networking websites for witnesses and the opposition, while praying that their own client has not used social networking websites to vent about their legal issue. This new age of technology has raised new ethical issues on the usage of information gained over these websites. With these new issues falls the shadow, where the line between zealously advocating for a client and an ethical violation is blurred.
In Philadelphia, an attorney sought out a third-party to gather information on an opposing party's witness for purposes of impeachment. The witness's Facebook page was set to private. The third-party, who was helping the attorney, used all real information in the Facebook friend request, but did not disclose that the purpose of the proposed "friendship" was to gather information and report it back to the opposing lawyer.
An article from the Philadelphia Bar(1) offered an advisory opinion that discusses whether the use of information gained through this method is permissible under the Pennsylvania Rules of Conduct and if it is, if that information is usable in an action. The first discussion was quickly resolved and the principle of it should be nationally applicable: the third party is acting on behalf of the attorney and therefore the attorney is responsible for the actions on his behalf. The real controversy stems from whether the friend request and subsequent reporting back of information would an ethical violation that would disallow the use of information in court.
The Philadelphia Bar argued that the openness of the page by friends, or the amount of information shared to everyone on the friends list, does not make the action any more ethical. The Philadelphia Bar would go on to suggest that this action by the third-party on behalf of the lawyer was a covert activity that by its very nature a false statement, which violated Pennsylvania's "Truthfulness in Statements to Others" rule (Rule 4.1). The actual text reads as follows
In the course of representing a client a lawyer shall not knowingly:
(a) make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person.
I disagree with the advisory opinion. With no false profile being an issue here, the witness's openness to adding friends and failure to safe guard the information on her account is a reflection that the witness was volunteering the information for anyone who wished to send a friend request. There was no coercion or trickery, even when the ultimate purpose of the friendship addition was to report information back to the lawyer.
Another issue stems from this when a "fictitious profile" is created. The government has admitted that it uses fake profiles in an attempt to gather information on individuals.(2) The process often includes adding friends of that person first, in a direct attempt to show mutual friends and then uses a picture from an attractive member of the sex to which the person is attracted. The mutual friendships that are shown often ease the fears of the person on the other end of the government espionage. The person may get a false sense of security and think that they knew the person from a bar, convention, or even school (which is often listed as the same high school or college in invitations). This is a clear example of action, which if it were performed by lawyers, would be in clear violation of the "Truthfulness in Statements to Others" rule. This is an example of an action that should be declared clearly unethical. Without a fake profile, fake information, or the like the original scenario discussed in the Philadelphia Bar article should not be seen as a violation of Rule 4.1. In the clear letter of the code, there was no false statement made, only a friend-request suggested.
As it has been discussed, no direct violation of the words of the statute has occurred, but the intents and spirit of the code must be discussed. The intent of the lawyer was to gather information that was openly available to everyone on the list. The situation in the article suggests (although does not prove) that the witness in question, like many others, accepts friend requests from anyone. It took no deceit to be added. In this same sense, in the Rules of Evidence which controls what evidence may be admitted by police action, can help shed light on this topic. There is an exception in criminal law that allows evidence to be used which was available in plain view. For example, if a police officer sees an illegal narcotic through a window with open curtains from outside the house, that police officer is in a permissible place. Along with two unrelated prongs, this satisfied the requirement of permissibility to be used in court and is not seen as an unethical action by the officer (Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128, (1990).) In the same manner, the person who is open to every friend request and does not hide their information is "opening the curtains" to that information. To send someone to view that information and to report back should not a violation of ethics due to the same principles used that allows police to observe things when they are in permissible locations. The case for the "Philadelphia scenario" involved the witness having to explicitly "accept" a friend request from the third-party who was acting on the attorney's behalf, which granted and arguably encouraged the postings to be viewed by the third-party. Because of the muddled line between zealous advocacy and an ethical violation, if there is no direct deceit, using data gained from a social network page should be permissible.
As this issue is discussed nationally, it will bring forth other issues dealing with social networking as lawyers continue to attempt to get an edge on their opposition.

Bad news for texting and driving offenders: Most people agree text messaging on your cell phone while driving is dangerous. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to deter many people, especially young drivers. All of that may be about to change ...
A teenager was recently convicted of vehicular homicide and negligent operation of a motor vehicle as a result of texting while driving. In February of 2011, Aaron Deveau's car crossed the centerline on a street in the northeast part of Massachusetts. Deveau's car slammed into the vehicle driven by fifty-five-year-old Donald Bowley. Bowley suffered severe injuries and eventually passed away. Bowley's girlfriend, aged fifty-nine, was also in the car with him and suffered serious injuries.
Eighteen-year-old Aaron Deveau was sentenced to two-and-a-half years on the vehicular homicide charge and two years on the texting and causing injury charge. As long has he abides by the rules of his probation, he will only end up serving one year in prison. His license will also be suspended for fifteen years.
This landmark case illustrates the potentially impending shift among courts to severely stiffen penalties for negligent and reckless driving involving cell phone use. The Massachusetts District Attorney in this case acknowledged "there are no winners today." However, the goal is to deter future injuries and deaths from texting related auto accidents.
News of this case is not going unnoticed. Oklahoma lawmakers are not sitting still with regard to driver safety and cell phones. While this Massachusetts court decision does not technically bind Oklahoma court rulings, it can certainly be used by prosecutors to increase penalties.
By Chris Lind March 8, 2012
A ruling came down from the Federal Appeals Court for the 7th Circuit Wednesday, February 29, 2012, creating a new law that police can now search your cell phone for phone numbers without a warrant. The courts' reasoning heavily relied upon the premise that the invasion of privacy in most cases will be very slight compared to the risk of law enforcement potentially losing access to this information. In his opin-ion, Judge Posner compared a cell phone to a diary, saying "Just as police are entitled to open a pocket diary to copy an owner's address, they should be able to turn on a cell phone to learn its number, he wrote. But just as they're forbidden from examining love letters tucked between the pages of an address book, so are they forbidden from exploring letters in the files of a phone."
The prosecution pushed for the ability to search all cell phone information and argued that in this digital age, there is a high risk that suspects could erase their cell phone information remotely. The court rejected that argument in the case but still ended up leaning in that direction. The court limited the warrantless search capability to phone numbers only. "Lurking behind this issue is the question whether and when a laptop or desktop computer, tablet, or other type of computer (whether called a 'computer' or not) can be searched without a warrant," Judge Richard Posner wrote for the three-judge panel. In raising this limitation, he gave the example of the iCam, which is a device that allows a person to wirelessly connect a phone to a computer and utilize the webcam. An iCam, or similar device, would allow a cell phone user to instantanesouly view the interior of a home. "At the touch of a button, a cell phone search becomes a house search," the judge wrote.
These are the two main things you need to know about this new law: First, even though police officers may not need a warrant to execute a search for numbers in your cell phone, this act still constitutes a "search" under the Constitution. Therefore, according to the 4th Amendment and subsequent cases, probable cause is still required for the search to be legal. Second, as was stated earlier, this search is extremely limited. A smart phone can contain e-mails, pictures and all kinds of personal information. Under the new ruling, the warrantless search must be limited to phone numbers only. While it may be practically impossible for a searching officer to only see the numbers, the search must be reasonably tailored to achieve for this purpose.

Adorable 8-Year-Old Adorably Explains Why Being A Girl Rocks
I can't handle the cuteness: the eight-year-old daughter of a Reddit user penned this adorable answer to a writing prompt about why it's cool to be a girl. She says:
We have veginas [vaginas]. We get jobs. We are creative. We have stuff that makes us preanet [pregnant]. We have milk in our bobes [boobs]. We are smart. We have power.
So totally true. (Of course, she has no idea how much this "we have stuff that makes pregnant" thing will suck in 20 years when she's horny and there are no condoms left in the box. But in the meantime let's not burst her bubble about womanhood being awesome.) What a smart little kid. [HyperVocal]

The Benefits of Using Verisign
As you browse through many ecommerce sites, you have undoubtedly seen a reference to Verisign. Is this something that will help you increase your customers confidence in your store and as such, increase your sales? Let's find out.
Verisign is a company that offers many different solutions to ecommerce sites. These solutions range from SSL or Secure Socket Layer certificates, to payment processing and fraud protection options.
If your web hosting company does not include an SSL certificate with the purchase of your hosting package, you will need to set one up in order to accept secure credit card payments. The certificate will range anywhere from $395 to $895, depending on the amount of encryption you select. You will also be able to display the Verisign seal on your website, letting your customers know that you have selected the premier provider of secure transactions.
This is a very large fee for a small company or individual, but unfortunately, it is a necessary one. The vast majority of Internet users will not purchase products from a site that does not offer secure payment processing. The cost for the certificate can be offset by the increase of sales you will experience.
If you already have a SSL certificate, Verisign also offers payment processing solutions. You will need a merchant account in addition to these solutions. You will also need to have a shopping cart that will integrate with Verisign. When you use the Verisign payment processing gateway, you are ensuring that your customer's information will not be stolen while they are being redirected to your merchant account processing system. The payment processing solutions all offer the ability to use the Verisign Seal on your website.
These solutions start at $59.95 per month and require a $250 set-up fee. These fees will be in addition to any costs that may be associated with your merchant account. Once you have purchased a payment processing solution from Verisign, you will then be able to add on fraud protection, if this is something that will benefit your customers.
The fraud protection program ensures that fraudulent credit cards may not be used on your site, which cuts down on your liability as a store owner. In addition to this, the program will also protect your payment processing method from hackers, leaving your customers to know they are safe while they are purchasing products from you.
Do you need Verisign services on your website? This will depend on what your current hosting company is providing with your hosting package, as well as shopping cart compatibility. Verisign is the leading provider of secure processing solutions and they have a great reputation with consumers. If you want to provide your customers with a high level of assurance, your company may benefit from using Verisign.Related Posts:

Every time I try to convince myself that I think and feel like everyone else, I realize I don't. That's not necessarily a bad thing because I'd rather lead the way than be a follower. (It shocked me the first time I realized how many people prefer to be led; I just couldn't fathom the concept.)
Last night my husband and I saw Kenny Chesney, Sugarland and Pat Green at the Garden. I find it amusing how some country acts have this desperate neediness when playing NYC—even when they have a sold-out crowd. I understand it because NYers haven't exactly been known for our love of country music. It is, however, an ever-evolving category since many listeners are finding themselves unable to relate to a lot of the other music that labels are delivering. Hip-hop is okay but after you count the amount of cuss words in a song and follow the general beat, you're done. If I hear that Umbrella song by Rihanna one more time, I think I will lose my lunch. Subsequently, I have begrudgingly accepted the genre, mostly to mollify my man (who denies me nothing). Still, I can't help believing that there is something fundamentally wrong about listening to country music in Madison Square Garden.
I'm not really a music snob; most country is pleasant enough. Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson have been long-time favorites of mine. We "discovered" Brad Paisley as a virtual unknown when he opened for Loretta Lynn at NYC's Town Hall in '99; he grabbed us from the first song. Chris Young—who won Nashville Star's third season—blew me away; Drinkin' Me Lonely is such a hauntingly powerful song. And yes, I thought the music business would eat American Idol's Carrie Underwood alive and now I confess/admit in black on white that she is really good.
So my problem is not with the music as much as the venue. You see, the first concert I ever attended was Led Zeppelin. At the Garden. In 1969, when I was 13. I barely knew who they were at the time but they have since been an extremely tough act for any other artist to surpass. I am—first, last and always—a Led Zeppelin fan; in my opinion, no other act has ever been able to imitate their button-tingling blend of blues and rock. I have never been disappointed whenever I've seen Plant and Page; they never phone it in. The last time I saw them (at the Garden in 1998), I drank two liters of water immediately afterward because I was dehydrated from the excitement. I'm not really digressing here; the point is that there is a symbiosis between the Garden and Zep; the group themselves have said many times they consider it a second home and it feels so good to play there. For me then, the correlation is clear: MSG is for r-o-c-k.
As I tapped my foot in time with the music last night--for the most part preferring to remain in my seat while 95% of the Garden stood, swayed, and sang along, beer in hand--I finally figured it out: I haven't sipped more than ½ a beer total in my entire lifetime. I've been too busy and poor to luxuriate in exotic locations and think about nothing but a cool breeze and a brew. I'm glad "she thinks [his] tractor's sexy" … How neat for him that he had fried chicken at Momma's on Sunday. But none of it has a darned thing to do with me. I was not moved. I felt no passion. I could not identify. Chesney is a good performer, a fine showman, and had the audience in the palm of his hand. I just wasn't one of them.
Sugarland struck home for me--more so than Chesney. Even though Jennifer Nettles is twangier than I prefer, she is passionate. Every time I see her she seems to have lost another ten pounds (she's been on TV a lot to promote the tour); clearly she's working that road to fame and doesn't expect it to be handed to her. (With that I can identify!) She also added an air of unpredictability to their set by singing a country version of Beyonce's Irreplaceable.
Pat Green was good but he definitely showed neediness, constantly pleading for the audience to remember--and repeat--his name. (Although he did break into a particularly good version of U2's With or Without You while singing his hit Wave on Wave.) Let's face it, the best way to keep a peaking crowd psyched is to walk off-stage while you have them in the palm of your hand. Walk away, let 'em scream, let 'em refuse to leave until you show your face again. Not Green. He stood there, waving in the admiration like "adore me, adore me; ain't I grand?" He stayed out just a bit too long and overstayed his welcome.
Other than my fancy for some of today's most passionate performers like Kid Rock, Pink, Daughtry, and Eminem, this is where I show my age. I am hard-pressed to find music today that resonates with emotion/passion like Bell Bottom Blues (Clapton), You Shook Me (Led Zeppelin) and practically anything by my Italian Stallion Zucchero. In the meantime, if I want to groove, I'll stick to R&B; I guess I'm just not a sway gal ... and I don't need a beer to feel like I belong.

Three Mining-based guildleves from Limsa-Lominsa (Bearded Rock) fail on me in bizarre ways...
"Mining Bearded Rock" - Got 2/3 Promising Mining Points completed, was heading for my 3rd one, and with 18 minutes left on the clock, the guildleve deactivates and I get dismissed from duty. The guildleve is now failed.
"Heavy Medals" - I obtained 2 out of 3 High quality Copper Ore. While looking for my third point with 22 minutes left on the timer, my game crashes to the desktop. Guildleve is now failed.
"Meet the Flintstones" - Obtained 2 out of 3 Flint Stones and was heading for the third mining point when the game crashes to my desktop. Guildleve is failed.
3 Mining-based guildleves - all done consecutively - failed for similar unknown reasons. What's going on? Anyone else having this issue with the mining leves from Limsa?

If you've ever felt guilty raiding the fridge at night for a midnight snack, here's some news that will help you feel a little better about yourself.
Dietitians now believe that eating food late at night might actually be good for you.
For one thing, late-night snacks can help you sleep more soundly, leaving you more refreshed the next morning. And good sleep leads to better eating habits.
Also, it's important to stabilize blood sugar levels with a snack before bed, especially if you eat an early dinner or are very active throughout the day. Of course, reaching for ice cream or cookies is a bad idea.
But, enjoying complex carbohydrates like whole wheat bread, non-starchy vegetables, popcorn, and fruit works. And, don't be afraid to add a little fat in there also, to slow down digestion and keep your blood sugar levels stable.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Is it harmful to mix synthetic and natural motor oil? on 2003 BMW 530i
Have both 530i and 323ix. "fULL SERVE" attendant put 2 quarts of 10-30 natural in the 323 without asking. Will oit do any damage to the engine?
NO, BUT If it was that low, you've likely exceeded the time factor or miles for the oil and it needs changed anyway. Unless you have a significant leak, I can't imagine being 2 qts low. If it were mine, I'd change it ASAP. I used syn-oil in my 1999 323i and it never leaked, but would use < 1 qt. by the time I changed at 10k miles intervals. KIA at 235k miles and still running great. My now newer 530xi does not loose a drop up to 8k miles between changes on BMW approved Syn-Oil with 68K miles on the odometer.
Thx. Yes, it was due for a change --to synthetic, about 10K between changes -- 125K on the odo. Doesn't burn, but it uses oil. Similar situation with 160 hp aircraft engines I fly -- oil is really the lowest type of insurance. Thx.

|Home > Opinion > Article
While such talk appears wildly premature - even if Howard wins the next election, he will still be only a little more than half way to matching the Menzies record - it is possible to detect some common features by comparing their political ascendancies.
First, the dominance eventually achieved by both men belied an earlier path marked by significant political setbacks, including at the hands of their own party. For Howard none was worse than his humiliating deposal as opposition leader in May 1989; while part of Menzies' "apprenticeship" was a largely undistinguished stint as prime minister in 1939-41 when he not only struggled to galvanise Australians for the war effort, but endured undermining by colleagues who had little faith in his leadership abilities. Paradoxically, it was this struggle for legitimacy in the eyes of both the nation and party that undoubtedly helped transform Menzies and Howard into the nerveless, consummate politicians they ultimately became.
Part of the formula for turning around their political fortunes was the identification of a "core" constituency (in Menzies' case the "forgotten people", in Howard's "the battlers") and their supreme skill in reading and articulating the aspirations of that constituency, as well as in directly communicating with it (particularly through radio). Meanwhile, their unhappy experiences of past internal party machinations, of which neither man was innocent, probably explains the emphasis they placed on mastering the party room, including silencing dissenting voices.
Second, both stumbled early in their terms as prime minister. Because Menzies was in power for so long after 1949 it is natural to assume he was always in control, always destined for a long reign. The reality is that the initial years of his second prime ministership were a struggle, his grip on office unsteady. This climaxed at the 1954 election when he scraped back, despite Labor securing more than 50 per cent of the primary vote. Similarly, it's already easy to forget how perilously close Howard went to being a "oncer". In the 1998 election he was the beneficiary of one of those rare occasions when a government is returned with less than 50 per cent of the two-party preferred vote.
Third, the foundations of their political ascendancy have been broadly similar, resting on two major claims: superior economic management, and that they are best equipped to preside over Australia's security interests in dark and threatening times, particularly by hitching the nation's wagon to great and powerful friends.
Like Menzies before him, Howard has proved adept at wringing political advantage from security issues and, in that context, the two prime ministers share the dubious distinction of having been artful when committing Australia to overseas conflict. Announcing the dispatch of combat forces to Vietnam in 1965, Menzies distorted the rationale for that commitment by asserting that South Vietnam's fall would pose "a direct military threat to Australia" and that the Indo-Chinese conflict "must be seen as part of a thrust by communist China between the Indian and Pacific Oceans". He was also disingenuous in claiming that Australian involvement was on the basis of a "request" for assistance by the South Vietnamese government.
Likewise, it now appears that Howard exaggerated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction program in justifying the case for Australian involvement in the war in Iraq.
Another obvious parallel is that Menzies, and now Howard, had the fortune of facing a seriously divided Labor opposition. Yet there is also a discontinuity here.
While in the 1950s Menzies was able to exploit the bitter and entrenched ideological differences within the ALP that triggered the 1955 split and lingered for years thereafter, Howard confronts a Labor Party divided, as much as anything else, because of the absence of a coherent philosophy of any particular hue. Short of ideological glue, today's Labor Party unravels along state, factional and personality lines.
There is a final area of similarity worthy of reflection. In a virtual replica of the way it responded to Menzies, Australia's intelligentsia of the left tends to loathe Howard, regarding him as illiberal, opportunistic and, perhaps worse of all, backward looking in his projection of Australian identity both domestically and overseas. Equally reminiscent of the Menzies era is that the certainty of the left's critique of Howard is only matched by its uncertainty about how to counter his appeal.

C. Engdahl reporting from FEI2010
Prediction Markets
FEI2010 Presenter: Tina Brown-Stevenson, Ingenix (a UnitedHealth Group Company)
In a solid FEI Champions presentation to complement James Surowiecki's keynote address, practitioner Tina Brown-Stevenson, Sr. VP Innovation and Information Group at Ingenix, talked through the implementation of a prediction market at Ingenix. As a lead-in to the details of the specific practical application developed at Ingenix, Ms. Brown-Stevenson drew upon examples from Mr. Surowiecki's book The Wisdom of Crowds to outline the foundational philosophical elements for Ingenix's overall approach. Examples included the circumstances and decisions made prior to the Columbia Space shuttle disaster and the Iowa Electronic Market. You can read about the details for both of these examples in the book The Wisdom of Crowds.
The criteria for success when harnessing "the wisdom of crowds", as outlined in Jame's Surowiecki's book of the same name include 1) a crowd with a diversity of opinion, 2) an independent crowd of individuals whose opinions aren't shaped by those around them, 3) decentralization that allows individuals to draw upon local knowledge, and 4) a mechanism to aggregate information that turns private judgments into collective decisions. It was these principles that shaped the development of the Ingenix Prediction Market.
Launched on July 7, 2009, the Ingenix Predication Market is a public application focused on the health care industry. Examples of general categories predicted in the market include "Health Care Reform Legislation", "Health Reform Impact", and "Health Reform Cost".
As with any new application or organizational change, "there will be challenges" Ms. Brown-Stevenson points out. Ingenix has had its share. In addition to the usual keys to success for addressing such challenges – which include executive sponsorship, solid requirements definitions, starting small with a core group of people, initially staying under the radar, and involving legal and IT early in the process – the most interesting insight from the Ingenix experience seemed less obvious to me, but made perfect sense when revealed. The analogy of the Prediction Market as a sort of "stock market" was a barrier to success. People didn't quite understand how the stock market applied to ideas. The prediction of ideas and information needed to be simpler than actual stock trading.
Even with its current relatively small amount of data and participation, the prediction market at Ingenix is a relative success and has already revealed insights for the company. As Ingenix moves to further develop the prediction market - which will include using it in conjunction with market research initiatives, and providing stand-alone prediction market advisory services - Ingenix will remain focused. As Ms. Brown- Stevenson says, we will keep our "eye on the goal" – another key to their success.

I fully agree with the main observation, that simplicity is key to the success of prediction markets.
The standard stock market trading method that was common in the last years for enterprise prediction markets is simply too complicated for most people to understand.
This is why at Qmarkets (www.qmarkets.net) we launched a new and alternative approach, that takes another step back from the classic trading, and interact with users using much simpler analogies that they can understand.
While doing so, we have also managed to collect additional forecasting information from participants, and we use this information to improve the forecasting accuracy.

"I just really enjoy watching them hunt," said Andy Spencer of Conifer, the new education coordinator for Evergreen's Hiwan Homestead Museum.
A division of McGraw-Hill Cos. has agreed to acquire Bentek Energy LLC, a privately held company based in Evergreen. Terms of the deal were not disclosed in the Dec. 16 announcement.
The deal is expected to close in 2011. Bentek will continue to operate under the current name with the same management.
Bentek is known for providing information services in the field of natural gas markets. It employs about 100 people in offices on Castle Court off Evergreen Parkway.

Living in the mountains means it's possible to bag an elk in your own backyard — provided it's hunting season and one has the proper license.
Disturbing though it may be to many neighbors in the idyllic bedroom communities of Evergreen, Genesee and Indian Hills, shooting elk on private property in unincorporated Jefferson County is legal, as long as the ammunition remains in the shooter's yard.
Joel Michael Herrin was sentenced Monday to 30 years in prison for kidnapping a woman from her Evergreen home on Dec. 29, 2009, forcing her to into his SUV and confining her in his apartment in Kittredge for nearly 12 hours.
Herrin, 41, had been working as a housecleaner in the woman's home for four years.
Herrin previously pleaded guilty to first-degree kidnapping and attempted sexual assault Sept. 17. The sentencing originally was scheduled for Dec. 3 and was continued. Herrin originally could have faced a sentence of life in prison.

Greens' candidate Simon Sheikh says the party's polling in Canberra gives him more confidence for the difficult battle to win an ACT Senate seat in the election.
After his campaign launch at the Shine Dome on Sunday, he strongly criticised Liberal candidate Zed Seselja as the ''captain of team negative''.
The function was attended by about 180 supporters, many of whom have been sent to Canberra's outskirts to galvanise support for the party.
"We are the underdog at this election, there's no doubt about that. But this is a winnable election,'' Mr Sheikh said.
"At the last election the Liberals broke quota by just 38 votes, making this the tightest Senate race in the country.''
Mr Seselja is the former ACT opposition leader who defeated the incumbent, Senator Gary Humphries, to become the Liberals' leading candidate for the Senate race.
Mr Sheikh was critical of Mr Seselja's performance.
"The people of Tuggeranong, for example, are deeply disappointed that at one stage they had the member for Brindabella and the next day he was gone,'' he said.
"So we're appealing to these voters on the issue of trust: if Gary Humphries couldn't trust Zed Seselja, how can Canberra families?
"Zed Seselja is captain of team negative. He's captain of the three-word slogan team and he takes a leaf out of Tony Abbott's book.
"Here in the ACT we are the most intelligent community in the country. At the territory election we rejected the three-word slogan of the Liberal Party. I think we will see the same thing happen here in the ACT [Senate race].''
Mr Sheikh said the polls showed Mr Abbott had a good chance of winning the election.
''But no matter which of the old parties wins, we mustn't be rewarding them for the policies they're taking to this election,'' he said.
"We can't be rewarding them for taking a policy of cutting jobs, so many jobs that it will hurt our community and send it into recession.'' Mr Sheikh predicted the Greens would eventually have a good chance of winning the lower house seat of Fraser, covering northern Canberra.
''It's one of those seats like Melbourne and Grayndler that in time we've got a good chance of winning because we've got strong candidates … our internal polling is showing we're on the up and up here in the ACT,'' he said.
The terms of territory senators end with a general election, unlike state-elected senators who have a six-year term.
The quota to win one of the two Senate seats in the ACT is one-third of the vote.
The Labor Party's strong support means it is assured of one seat, and the Liberal Party has always scooped the other spot.
At the last election the Liberal Party's Senate team won 33.35 per cent of the primary vote. The result was higher in the 2004 and 2008 elections.
In an earlier election, the Liberals' Margaret Reid did have to rely on One Nation preferences to be returned. At the last territory election, the Greens' team in the Legislative Assembly was reduced from four to one.
The survivor, Shane Rattenbury, now a minister in the Gallagher Labor government, said the Senate race gave ACT voters the chance to ''stamp our foot, to make a presence on the national stage - to say, we won't be just ignored in the ACT, we won't be taken for granted, we're not just a safe Labor seat,'' Mr Rattenbury said.
"This Senate seat is winnable. I have been campaigning with the Greens since 1992 and this is the biggest, most professional, most organised campaign there has been.''

A seed on an 11 year old defending herself and home with a gun and the post in response to that seed made me think of this. Now do i think kennesaw is the safest city around its not and not by a long shot but you can't argue the fact this law was put in place significantly reduced the criminal activities in the town The following in some copy and paste from an article to which i do have the link and have included into this
Back in 1982 in response to a gun band in Illinois the town of Kennesaw Ga passed a city ordince that required every head of house hold in the town to own and maintain a fire arm. Since then, despite dire predictions of "Wild West" showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender.
The crime rate initially plummeted for several years after the passage of the ordinance, with the 2005 per capita crime rate actually significantly lower than it was in 1981, the year before passage of the law.
Prior to enactment of the law, Kennesaw had a population of just 5,242 but a crime rate significantly higher (4,332 per 100,000) than the national average (3,899 per 100,000). The latest statistics available – for the year 2005 – show the rate at 2,027 per 100,000. Meanwhile, the population has skyrocketed to 28,189.
By comparison, the population of Morton Grove, the first city in Illinois to adopt a gun ban for anyone other than police officers, has actually dropped slightly and stands at 22,202, according to 2005 statistics. More significantly, perhaps, the city's crime rate increased by 15.7 percent immediately after the gun ban, even though the overall crime rate in Cook County rose only 3 percent. Today, by comparison, the township's crime rate stands at 2,268 per 100,000.

So you would have the root directory of your Context/Application(I'm still stuck on that term), and beneath it, you might have at least three directories, Config (any config files), Classes (Session, Application/Context, etc), Content or Servlets (obvious).

Then what's the difference from running multiple AppServers? That's essentially what you're saying here. The only difference being you only have one directory for WebKit.

I was intending to extend the Context concept to something like this. But Chuck and I have always differed on where to split the line between AppServer, Application and Context. (Well, I don't know that we differ that much, we've just never reconciled our terminology ;) ) If you're going to run on Multiple ports, I think you're splitting too high. Jay

Pruning the Home Orchard
Guide H-327
Esteban Herrera, Extension Horticulture Specialist
College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences New Mexico State University. (Print Friendly PDF)
Fruit trees are pruned to regulate growth, increase yield, improve fruit size and quality and reduce production costs. Pruning also shapes trees for convenience of culture and repairs damage. Many home gardeners prune for decorative purposes.
All pruning has a dwarfing effect and usually reduces fruit set but does not decrease yield when done properly. For maximum yield of high-quality fruit, prune only as necessary to establish trees with strong frameworks, capable of supporting heavy crops annually without damage and sufficiently open to allow penetration of sunlight, air and spray material for pest control.
Most pruning is done during the dormant season, just before active growth begins in the spring. At this time, pruning wounds heal fast, flower buds are easily recognized, and injury from low winter temperature may be avoided.
Summer pruning is done to train young trees to the desired shape, remove watersprouts and other undesirable growth and maintain smaller tree size.
Training Young Trees
In the first three to five years, permanent (scaffold) branches of a young fruit tree are developed. These scaffolds should have wide-angled crotches and be equally spaced around the tree, with 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 cm) of vertical space between them. Prune young trees to develop these scaffold branches.
In pruning, cut as close as possible to the trunk, parent branch or lateral (fig. 1). Properly made cuts will heal more quickly, shortening the time that rot organisms have for entry. Wound dressing is not needed on cuts 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) or smaller, but larger cuts should be covered to prevent drying and entrance of insects and disease organisms. The most satisfactory sealing material is the asphaltwater emulsion type available under various trade names. Do not use material containing creosote, lead or turpentine. Plastic-base paints and household latex paints can be used, but these have no antiseptic properties.
It takes several years of proper pruning to develop a well-balanced apple tree with strong, evenly proportioned scaffold branches. After trees reach the desired size, a "mold and hold" system of pruning will maintain the size and shape for many productive years.
Figure 1. Cut branches to the limb or leader from which they grow or to a lateral growing from the one being cut. Avoid leaving nubs, which heal slowly and are subject to wood rots and insect infestations.
Pruning Apple Trees
Apple trees are usually trained to the modified leader system (fig. 2). Under this system, the leader, or main trunk, grows until the scaffold limbs have been established, usually by the end of the third year. Then the leader may be cut back above the topmost scaffold.
Figure 2. This young apple tree is trained to the modified central leader system and has strong, wide-angled branches evenly spaced around the trunk.
If you plant 1-year-old whips, simply head them at the desired height, about 40 inches (100 cm from the ground for trees on standard rootstock and 30 to 35 inches (76 to 91 cm) for spur-type and semidwarf trees (fig. 3). If trees are branched when they come from the nursery, the usual practice is to head the leader to the desired height, cut back about one-half the terminal growth of any wide-angle side branches suitable for developing into scaffold limbs and remove all others.
Figure 3. Head back newly planted, unbranched apple whips on standard rootstocks to about 40 inches (100 cm) above ground. If the whips are on spur-type or semidwarf rootstocks, cut them about 35 inches (91 cm) above ground.
When the topmost buds on the leader grow 4 or 5 inches (10 to 12 cm), remove all but the terminal shoot. This encourages bud growth in the lower portion of the tree, so that there is a better selection of shoots for scaffold limbs. During the first summer, you can remove the undesired shoots or let them grow throughout the season and prune them during the dormant season, as you select the scaffold branches (fig. 4).
Figure 4. A vigorous apple tree, grown one year in the orchard, before pruning (left), should have ample distribution and branches from which to select scaffold limbs. After pruning (right), the principal scaffold limbs form a strong framework for later production.
The first branches developed by a young Delicious tree are often closely spaced and extremely upright, forming weak narrow-angled crotches that split easily. Secondary limbs usually have much wider angled crotches.
A well-trained, mature tree will usually have four to six scaffold limbs. They should be about 8 inches (20 cm) apart vertically, evenly distributed up and around the trunk, none directly above another and the lowest scaffold at least 16 inches (40 cm) from the ground. To be strong enough to support heavy crops of fruit, each scaffold should form an angle of about 65 degrees with the tree trunk (fig. 5).
Figure 5. Scaffold branches with wide-angled crotches (left) are strong and capable of holding a heavy fruit crop. Branches with narrow-angled crotches (right) are weak, and they split off easily under fruit loads or heavy wind. Note the strong modified central leader in the left diagram.
Limb spreaders are used as aids in establishing strong scaffolds and encouraging earlier production. Spreaders are especially useful in training varieties like Red Delicious that tend to form branches with narrow angles, growing more upright than spreading.
Limb spreaders increase the crotch angle of scaffold branches. Cut 1-by-2-inch boards into varied lengths. Drive No. 8 box nails in each end, cut off the nailheads and sharpen. The sharpened nails hold the spreader in place.
Apply spreaders early, while the limb is still pliable enough to be trained in the desired position. Spreaders are usually removed after two growing seasons. After selecting tile framework of scaffold limbs, you will not need to do much pruning until the trees come into bearing. You may have to remove some branches that compete with selected scaffolds and occasionally do light corrective pruning. Remove "watersprouts." But do not prune heavily.
In general, prune bearing apple trees to remove watersprouts; diseased, broken, and insect-injured branches; and weak, low-growing and shaded branches. Try to open up the top to allow sunlight to filter through the tree's center by judicious removal of higher branches. Keep the tree under 20 feet (6.3 m) tall by heading the top limbs to strong out-growing laterals.
Pruning Pear Trees
In general, pear trees are trained like apple trees. The average young pear tree tends to become tall and leggy. Tipping or heading back the long shoots slightly encourages the development of side branches.
Limb spreaders are especially useful in developing scaffolds in the young pear tree.
After you have developed the framework, do not head the branches back because pear trees tend to produce vigorous, soft terminal shoots, which are highly susceptible to fire blight. Limit pruning to thinning-out cuts.
Pruning Cherry Trees
Sweet cherry trees are trained to the modified leader system recommended for apple trees. Select scaffold limbs carefully because sweet cherry is subject to winter injury and splitting where the limbs join the trunk. Choose limbs with the widest crotch angles to ensure a strong framework.
Head newly planted trees to a height of about 40 inches (102 cm). If the trees have wide-angle lateral branches when you set them, select those suitable for scaffold limbs and head them back slightly, leaving the leader several inches longer than the laterals. Four to six main scaffold limbs, (8 inches 20 cm) or more apart vertically and evenly distributed around the trunk are desirable. The lowest scaffold limb should be not less than 16 inches (40 cm) from the ground.
After the first year, head back as little as possible. You may have to cut back the leader and upright growing scaffold limbs to strong outward-growing laterals to keep the tree low for convenience in spraying and harvesting. Pruning the mature sweet cherry is usually limited to removal of diseased and damaged branches.
A sour cherry tree, with no strong side branches at the time of planting, should be headed to about 24 inches (61 cm) above the ground. Lateral branches can be selected at the beginning of the second year's growth. If the tree has some good laterals at planting, remove any below 16 inches (40 cm) from the ground. Select about three permanent lateral or scaffold limbs along the leader. They should be 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) apart and not directly over one another. Do not head them back, as this tends to stunt terminal growth.
In the following years, select five or six scaffold branches well distributed along the trunk. The leader is then usually modified by cutting to an outward-growing lateral. After fruiting begins, pruning consists mainly of thinning out excessive and crowded growth each year to allow sunlight to filter through the tree.
Pruning Plum Trees
Plum trees are also pruned like apple trees. Prunes and other European plum types generally develop into well-shaped trees, with little pruning. At planting, head back the leader to 30 to 36 inches (76 to 91 cm). After that, pruning consists mainly of thinning out excessive growth. Japanese plums are usually more vigorous than European varieties and need some heading back as well as some thinning of branches after they come into bearing.
Pruning Peach Trees
Peach trees are usually trained to a more open center than are apple trees, although a delayed modified leader system is desirable for the high light-intensity areas of the Southwest (fig. 6). Head newly planted trees to about 40 inches (102 cm) in height, making the cut just above a lateral branch or bud. If the tree is branched when it comes from the nursery, select three or four branches well-spaced up and around the trunk for the permanent scaffold limbs. The lowest limb should be no lower than 15 inches (38 cm) and the highest 30 to 40 inches (76 to 102 cm) from the ground. Cut these back to two buds each and remove all other laterals.
Figure 6. A bearing peach tree before (top) and after (bottom) pruning. The modified central leader has been developed and maintained. Thinning to induce development of new fruiting wood throughout the tree is the main objective of pruning bearing peach tree.
Once the scaffold system is established, prune as little as possible until the tree begins to bear. Choose one centrally located upright shoot and remove all others. The main purpose of this shoot is to prevent sunburn to the north and east scaffolds. Lightly head back terminal growth on the scaffold limbs to outward-growing laterals. This develops an open, spreading tree.
Since peaches are borne on wood of the previous year's growth, prune the trees annually to stimulate new growth and maintain production near the main body of the tree. Pruning the mature peach tree consists mainly of moderate thinning and heading back to outward-growing laterals to keep the tree low and spreading.
Nectarines, apricots and almonds are pruned as peaches are, except the pruning is less severe.

Riser for Bushnell TRS-25
Hey all,
I just received my Bushnell TRS-25 red dot in the mail. However, I am up at school and do no have my rifle with me. So my question to you all is: Does anyone know what size riser would give me a 1/3 co-witness on a flat top AR with the A2 front sight post? I was thinking a 1", but I wanted to get some of your opinions. Thanks!
3/4" will give you a center co witness with the dot on top of the post.
Why such a high riser? I am mounting a similar Sig Red Dot this weekend. What is "1/3 co witness"?
I was planning to use "absolute cowitness", iron sight and red dot both centered on top of post. What is the advantage of using the lower 1/3?
If I use absolute cowitness, is a riser necessary? Is so, how much?
I also use the bottom 1/3 cowitness for the reasons purehavoc stated. I can look over the irons and just use the dot or look through the aperture and lollipop the dot on the front sight. One disadvantage of absolute is the red dot appears to dim when looking through the aperture - this is very noticeable to me.
When I had a Bushnell Holosight, though it was definitely usable, I was not crazy about having the front sight take up much of the picture. I feel that if I am using a red dot, I am using it for the dot, not the front sight post. Everyone has they're preference, I just want to try out the lower 1/3 and see how I like it.
Oh and another question, which may be a stupid one, but will I need a cheek riser? I have no experience with using risers.
