Dan Richards returns to state as Indian Creek manager
By Sandy Bond
Leaving behind the steep red cliffs, roan dunes and pinion and juniper trees and, most importantly, the people they had grown to love in southern Utah, was not easy for the Richards family.
Yet 20 years ago as Dan and Jayne pulled away from their Dakota prairie home heading for their new home and Dan's new career as park ranger of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, they made a vow they would someday return.
"I have worked for state parks all of my adult life and can't see myself doing anything else," he said. "When the opportunity presented itself, we jumped on it. Jayne's family lives in Milbank, so it will good to be back home."
As Dan retired from the Utah State Parks, he embraced his new assignment as Indian Creek Park Manager through the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks.
The son of Glen and Linda Richards, Dan and his younger sister grew up in Sioux Falls. After graduating from Lincoln High, he set his sights on becoming a conservation officer or park ranger and headed for South Dakota State University in Brookings, where he received his bachelor's degree in park management. He served as a seasonal employee, summers at Palisades State Park near Garretson, and as a nine-month seasonal park ranger on Lake Sakakawea in central North Dakota near Picks-town. As park rangers are also law enforcement officers, he became certified as a law enforcement officer through the Police Officer Standard Training Program in both North Dakota and Utah. Finding employment opportunities few and fiercely competitive he and his family set their sights on a job opportunity in Utah at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.
"We really enjoyed living in southeast Utah but the time was right to come back to our home state," he said.
As the offer presented itself in the midst of older son Cle's senior year, Jayne and Cle, and youngest son, Jimmy, decided to remain in Utah until Cle graduates and where Jayne is a certified nursing assistant specializing in medical records.
"Cle's been accepted at few colleges," Dan said, "but he's leaning toward the University of South Dakota at Vermillion."
Active in football, he has aspirations to enter sports medicine, he said. Dan and Eli are living in Mobridge where Eli is a freshman at Mobridge-Pollock High School.
The Dakotas welcomed them to the area in the form of an old-fashioned blizzard in early January.
Straddling the Utah and Arizona border and 30 miles from the nearest town, the southern part of Utah is an undiscovered paradise, according to Richards, fantastic for hiking, motocross dirt biking, and horseback riding, and just exploring. It is filled with indigenous mountain lions, bighorn sheep, mule deer, bats, and relative newcomers including wild burros and horses. But his absolute favorite are-scorpions.
Recognizable by its segmented body, the arthropod is best known by its grasping claws and a tail ending with a venomous stinger.
Previously only somewhat familiar from John's Steinbeck's, "The Pearl," Dan quickly learned that there are only a few which are slightly more venomous than a sting from a bee.
"Persons who are allergic can succumb to anaphylaxis," he said. "Reclusive by nature, they retreat under rocks during the heat of the day, only emerging at night. When cornered they choose flight over fight!"
The best-known scenario is of one crawling into a boot and someone getting "stung" when they didn't check before pushing their foot into the boot.
So intrigued was he, that he couldn't wait to share his knowledge with others, he said. Eventually, as a park ranger he gave midnight tours and uncovered scorpions with the aid of a black light. He also has acquired any number of species that are preserved in rubbing alcohol.
Surprisingly, in death, rigor mortis does not affect arthropods when preserved in an alcohol solution, he said, even after 20 years.
Instead of a dog, cat, or parakeet, the Richards family has scorpions.
Excited by the progressiveness as well as the family centered town of Mobridge, they have already been welcomed by the Family Worship Center. Dan has plans to join the Oahe Bow Hunters and resume fishing, bowhunting, and pheasant hunting, making memories far afield the will last a lifetime as he did years ago with his dad.

|I got very angry when editing this photo, because once i'd dragged the tonemapped image into Photoshop and done all my editing on it - I went to the save dialog, and as I was typing in the filename - Photoshop just shut down on me. Suffice to say - I was not at all pleased at having to redo all the editing i'd done on it.
That aside, I managed to get the image back to almost how i'd edited the shot first time around - and I rather like it. The HDR image was combined from 3 separate exposures, then constrast added and the image desatured some, with other bits and masks inbetween for the sky.
I've also entered this image into the "Photo of the year" on the photoblogawards website - I can say it is probably one of my best of the year.

In 1988 he earned a spot on the gold medal-winning Olympic baseball team, batting .409 during the tournament. He won both the Golden Spikes Award and the Dick Howser Trophy for outstanding collegiate play, concluding his 3-year OSU career with a .428 batting average, a .792 slugging percentage, and 302 RBIs.

This Agreement and Disclosure governs the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) with a capacity to access the City National Bank (CNB), Electronic Response System (ERS) and is issued to you as a participant in a qualified plan or other arrangement for which CNB acts as custodian or trustee for the Plan Sponsor/Administrative Committee.
The ERS has two modules that provide both inquiry and interactive transaction options to participants including a (1) voice response system and (2) Internet access via Online Retirement Services. This document outlines the policies by which the ERS access is to be made available by CNB. By using the PIN that is assigned to you and accessing the ERS, you are acknowledging that you have read this information and agree to its terms.Rules for Use
By using your PIN through the ERS, you authorize us to accept any changes to your account. However, we can cancel, modify or restrict your use of the ERS at any time upon notice to you, your Plan Sponsor or your employer. We can cancel, modify or restrict access to the system without notice if we believe that your PIN has been lost or stolen, if we get a notice of possible unauthorized use of the PIN, or where necessary to maintain or restore the security of your account(s) or the ERS.
The ERS is an extension of CNB's services. There will be periods when the ERS is not operational due to holidays, market disruptions, system maintenance and acts of God. CNB also reserves the right to bring the applications down as necessary. CNB intends down time to be very minimal and transparent to you. If the applications are down for an extended period, we will notify the Plan Sponsor of the event and CNB's plan of action.
The daily cut-off time for processing requests is 1:00 p.m. pacific time on any available trading day. If your account includes Employer Stock, the daily cut off time may be earlier. CNB will attempt to process transactions accepted by ERS before 1:00 P.M. pacific time on the same day. For requests accepted by ERS after 1:00 p.m. pacific time, CNB will attempt to process the transfer on the next available trading day. A confirmation number will be provided to you for each transaction. You will receive a letter containing this number confirming the transaction. The letter will be mailed to your address of record within five business days. Participants should use this confirmation number in conversations or written correspondence with CNB. While CNB will make every reasonable effort to process trades in accordance with this schedule, CNB is not responsible for any losses incurred due to delayed trade processing, unless due to willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of CNB.
If the ERS is down, transaction requests may be made by mailing or faxing instructions to CNB, or by calling our Participant Call Center at (800) 660-6282. Based upon the time the mail or facsimile is received, CNB will process the transaction as soon as feasibly possible unless it is a time of market disruption and then the transaction will be completed as soon as practicable. Participants must contact CNB to confirm receipt of instructions sent via mail or facsimile by telephone during business hours at (800) 660-6282.
During stock market disruptions, the ERS may be unavailable or the telephone lines busy. Participants may use the Backup Procedures to request transactions. During times of stock market disruptions, CNB will endeavor to process the requested transactions within the period stated in the Operational Guide. However, if a transaction cannot be completed due to circumstances beyond CNB's control, it will be completed as soon as practicable.
If your Plan allows for you to maintain an Individually Directed Account for the purchase of individual stocks, bonds or other securities, the ERS may not be used to place trades within your IDA. Please contact your IDA account representative with questions related to the operation of your IDA.
CNB receives pricing data and other fund related information directly from various pricing services. CNB is not responsible for the accuracy of the information received from the pricing services. When CNB is notified that the information is not correct, CNB will correct the data as soon as practicable.
By utilizing the Personal Identification Number (PIN) provided to you, you are authorizing CNB to process the transactions requested on the ERS. It
is your responsibility to request desired transactions correctly taking into account the information described in this document. Furthermore, you agree
to release and hold harmless CNB from and against any liability or losses (including legal fees) arising out of or in connection with the use of your
PIN, unless due to willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of CNB.
You agree not to send hard copy instructions to either the Plan Sponsor or CNB which duplicate any transaction activities previously originated on the ERS. This includes investment election changes and fund transfer instructions. Receipt of hard copy instructions could result in the posting of a duplicate transaction.
You must keep your Personal Identification Number secret. PINs are provided in sealed envelopes addressed with your name. If your envelope has been tampered with, or has been opened before you receive it, contact a CNB representative at once. You assume responsibility for the results of investment fund transfers placed using your PIN. These transactions may result in gains or losses on your account, just as they would using a printed form. You must tell a CNB representative at once if you believe that your PIN has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that someone has ordered investment fund transfers or future investment fund election percentages without your knowledge.
Arbitration is final and binding on the parties. The parties are waiving their right to seek remedies in court, including the right to a jury trial. Pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited than and different from court proceedings. The arbitrators award is not required to include factual findings or legal reasoning and any party's right to appeal or to seek modification of rulings by arbitrators is strictly limited. The panel of arbitrators may include arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities and/or banking industry. Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any mutual fund transaction shall be referred to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The board of arbitrators shall convene at a place mutually acceptable to the parties hereto. The parties hereto agree to accept and be bound by the decision of the board of arbitrators, and judgment upon any award rendered may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination, amendment or expiration of the Agreement.

Salukis are a beautiful, living work of art. They have been praised throughout history and they're even known as one of the oldest domesticated dogs. Of course I'm a little biased because my universities mascot was the Saluki, but they're a highly unique, rare breed that deserves to get a little attention.
Throughout history, the Egyptians have been known to lead a life of social status and glamour. Their lives were filled with mystical legends and tales of gods and goddess. It's widely known that they even held certain animals in higher respects than other cultures.
Salukis are considered "The Royal Dog of Egypt." They're even mummified with certain Pharaohs (talk about your high-class pup). At the time, they were considered the finest animals a family could possess.
Egyptians aren't the only ones who honored the Saluki. The breed is thought to be mentioned in the Bible. They have made an appearance in medieval paintings and can be seen particularly in Paolo Veronese's 1573 work of art called the Adoration of the Magi (a work regarding the birth of Christ). Veronese also painted the Saluki in some of his other religious works regarding Christ, including The Marriage at Cana.
A work of art itself, the Saluki is not only an exotic, beautiful breed, but they are graceful runners. Known for their speed and agility, the Saluki is an athletic, strong-willed breed. They have a keen eye for hunting, and if they run off to catch something, Usain Bolt couldn't even catch up. Salukis have been known to tap out at 40mph and they can jump over a 5' fence.
A Saluki will thrive on having a job to do. They love nothing more than to run. They enjoy vigorous exercise and excel at sports or activities such as at lure coursing, agility, flyball, jumping, racing, and tracking.
Independent and not easily controlled, the Saluki is a breed that likes to make its own decisions. An owner needs to have patience and consistency in order to train a Saluki, but even then, a well-trained Saluki is still a little mischievous.
They're gentle and very devoted members of the family. Children love them, and they love children. They're sensitive and compassionate, but they can be too prim and proper to participate in a game of fetch. They'll usually run and romp outside, then come in and head right to your bed to sleep on a load of pillows.
Peaceful by nature, Salukis are not an aggressive breed, unless you're a squirrel or rabbit. They're calm and submissive to people, but they have an inherent nature to chase and hunt other animals. Due to their pleasant nature, they can be raised around other dogs or cats.
Salukis are natural born athletes. They thrive off running and lots of exercise. Long walks or brisk running is best for these pups, however be on the lookout, however, because the #1 cause of death in Salukis is being hit by a vehicle. They're very independent and determined, so if you let them off leash to chase, they will most likely get hurt and in some cases, killed.
Determination is what makes this breed a bit stubborn when it comes to recall. They often never pay attention to a handler's call when they are on the chase.
A great companion for kids and adults, the Saluki is a unique breed that is sure to turn heads. Their grace and poise is enough to attract glances from onlookers. A natural born athlete and devoted friend is what makes the Saluki a breed to be celebrated.

Mr. Charles Wolf probably died in the War; or a result of. And look at the wealth that he had amassed at such a young age? Personal property to the tune of $6000? That was a great deal of money for 1860 Arkansas, wouldn't you think?

Newbie wanting to do something simple…
Hi, I am brand new to WordPress, using the Cutline theme http://cutline.tubetorial.com/ and I really just want to do a simple thing with WordPress.
Basically, I want to have an informational front page that never changes no matter what. After the visitor reads that front page information, I want that person to have to register (somehow, perhaps in the sidebar) in order to go to another page which will have more content on it.
That's really all I want my wordpress page to do.
Can anyone help me? I'm not a programmer so if it involves a lot of coding, I'll probably have to ditch wordpress and just use html with some kind of auto responder..

Killeen Daily Herald
Animal shelter renovations and construction of a new police station in Killeen are expected to begin early next year.
The Public Safety Capital Improvement Projects Committee, at a meeting Tuesday, sent its recommendation for the Killeen Animal Shelter renovations and additions to the full Killeen City Council.
The committee also heard a progress report on the new police headquarters and may get a chance to stamp its approval on that project by the end of the year or very soon in 2008.
Brenda Essenburg, general services director for the city's finance department, told the committee that the animal shelter's renovations and additions total $299,644 with the budget for the project at $300,000. The project, originally approved by Killeen voters as a $180,000 bond in 2002, escalated in price as the Animal Advisory Committee began working on plans in March.
The Animal Advisory Committee expected the shelter upgrades to stay close to the budget until September when Killeen police Capt. Steve Hoskins, who oversees the Animal Control Division, told the committee the project would be $70,000 to $110,000 more than the $180,000 the voters approved in 2002. The balance of $120,000 of was approved in the 2007-08 budget and came from the bond money for the new police headquarters.
Essenburg said new kennels for the existing building will cost $124,208, renovations including labor and materials will cost $80,735, kennels for the addition will cost $26,150, architectural and engineering services cost $33,553 and an incinerator for cremation will cost about $25,000.
"Which is within our $300,000 budget," Essenburg said.
The plans call for expanding the lobby, adding a "get-to-know" room where a person could interact with pets being considered for adoption, a 1,800-square-foot metal shell building with heating and air conditioning for dogs, modular cages made from aluminum or stainless steel and cremation equipment.
After discussions with the architect, Essenburg, Hoskins and others decided on a few modifications, including a wall in the lobby with a window to the cats' cages so people could see the animals up for adoption as they walk in. The new plans also call for moving the entrance.
"When may we expect to turn dirt and put some concrete blocks up?" asked Councilman Larry Cole, who sits on the Animal Advisory and Public Safety CIP committees.
Clinton Young, of Jamail Smith Construction, was at the meeting to answer questions. He said the job should be ready to start within 30 days after the council approves it and 90 days to complete after that.
"Right now, it's in the hands of the engineers," Young said.
He said the engineer is soliciting proposals for a contractor. The City Council will consider giving the project final approval at its Jan. 8 meeting.
The Public Safety CIP Committee may call a special meeting this month to review the plans and send it to the council for final approval in January.
City Manager Connie Green said city staff has been reviewing the numbers in the contract with PSA Dewberry architecture firm and Lee Lewis Construction.
"I think we're in good shape right now," Green said.
He said the project appears to fit in the $27 million budget and the city staff has a few things to clarify before it is ready to present it to the committee.
"We hope to have everything for the committee to review at our next meeting in January," Green said.
Committee members said they hoped to get the project started sooner.
"We were on a fast track, and all the sudden we're not on a fast track," said Mayor Timothy Hancock, who sits on the Public Safety CIP Committee.
Councilman Juan Rivera, alternate committee member, asked if the Public Safety CIP Committee could skip the recommendation process and send it straight to the full council when the proposal is ready.
Hancock said he is not comfortable with that in case there is something the committee may want to send back to the architect or contractor. He said that if the committee wants to keep the project on the fast track, it should consider calling a special meeting to make sure it makes the Jan. 8 council agenda.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/12/2013 (1300 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Calling all sci-fi enthusiasts and fantasy lovers — if the cold snap has got you down, just remember, this year's Keycon will be here before you know it.
The 31st annual science fiction and fantasy literary convention, Keycon, is taking place at the Radisson Hotel (288 Portage Ave.) from May 16 to 19 this spring.
To attend for the whole weekend is $45 without tax. Day passes are between $20 to $30. Tickets can be purchased at the event's page on Eventbrite.
Amanda Roncin is the lead organizer for one of the convention's consuites, called 28 GAMES LATER. It also happens to be the official hospitality suite for the whole weekend.
"What we did was we had to put in a bid to be the official suite," Roncin said of herself and other two organizers, Leslie Brant and Darrion Anonychuk.
As the official hospitality suite, Roncin, Brant, and Anonychuk are in charge of providing food and beverages for about 250 people for the entire weekend. They have received $1,000 to provide those refreshments.
The other consuites at the convention only have to provide snacks and entertainment.
The official hospitality suite, as well as the other consuites, will take up most of the 15th floor.
"It's an entire floor of just basically partying," Roncin said.
Roncin said she and the other organizers are also throwing an event called the G.A.M.E. (Gaming And Masquerade Easter) Social on April 19 at the St. James Legion #4 (1755 Portage Ave.) to raise money for items to make the event more festive, such as decorations.
"Basically, you dress up as a video game character," Roncin said of the event attire. "We're hosting a Halo and Smash Brothers tournament. We're thinking of doing some nerd-based egg painting."
There will also be a silent auction, and Zlatan Banicevic will be the DJ for the evening.
Roncin said she likes that Keycon isn't as big and popular as the other conventions.
"It's not as large as ones like Ai-Kon or Comic Con, but the thing that a lot of fans appreciate about it is it really is a community feel," she said. "Admittedly, one of my favourite places is the hospitality suite because it's a party for nerds. Most of the people at the convention will know half to two-thirds of the people."
In addition to being the hospitality suite for Keycon, 28 GAMES LATER is also paying homage to the zombie apocalypse movie, 28 Days Later. Roncin said the entire suite will be made to look like a bunker after a biohazard disaster. There will also be 28 games for attendees to play.
Tickets for the G.A.M.E. Social can be purchased through several means: online at its Eventbrite page, in person from Roncin, or at Pendragon Games & Hobbies (1354 Main St.). To buy tickets from Roncin, email her at either email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

The former England international has agreed an 18-month deal and trained with the Blades squad for on Friday, reported BBC Radio Sheffield.
Manager Bryan Robson moved to sign the 35-year-old after he was released from his contract at Ibrox.
Ehiogu joined the Glasgow club in January 2007 from Middlesbrough, but made just one appearance this season.
He made an impact at Rangers in his first Old Firm match when he scored the only goal in at Celtic Park in March.
Robson paid £8m in 2000 to take Ehiogu to from Aston Villa to Middlesbrough, where he stayed for seven seasons.
Towards the end of his time at The Riverside he went on loan to Leeds United before joining Rangers on a free transfer.

Patents, Intellectual Property
Patents are a rich source of scientific and technical information. The time-consuming task of searching for patents has been streamlined by the availability of Web-based patent search and retrieval systems. Below we link to the major patent databases and search engines on the Web.
Four major databases are described in Section 1. The first three are freely available on the Internet. The Derwent database can be accessed only by UB patrons.
- Espacenet Worldwide Patents database maintained by the European Patent Office that includes U.S. patents.
- U.S. Patent & Trademark Office's website, through which you can access the full page images of U.S. patents going back to 1790.
- PATENTSCOPE database maintained by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which also includes U.S. patents.
- Derwent Innovations Index - part of the Web of Science suite of databases.
Special care should be used to determine the scope of each database. Country coverage, starting dates, and searchable fields often vary within the same database depending on the country and the time period.
- Major Patent Databases
- Other Freely Available Databases
- Patent Classification Searching
- National/International Patent Offices
- Intellectual Property
- Library Collections/Depositories
- Commercial Patent Services (including patent analysis tools)
- University Services & Policies
Section 1: Major Patent Databases
Espacenet Worldwide Patents: This is the single, most comprehensive, free patent database available. The European Patent Office has developed a worldwide patent database of over 80 million patents from over 80 countries, most with full-text page images, available at no charge.
The starting date varies greatly by country, with the earliest being 1836 for the United States. The availability of any given search field also varies greatly by country and time period. For example, only about 50% of the patents have a title field and only 33% have an English abstract. Please review the Espacenet Global Patent Data Coverage document for details. An online tutorial for searching the system is available. We recommend you consult the Cooperative Patent Classification System before beginning your search. See Section 3 of this guide for more information.
This site permits downloading of the full-text of entire patents with a single command. To print or download the full-text, click on the patent title from any search result listing. Then click on the Original documents link on the left. Until one downloads the patent text, one can only print a single page at a time. To download the entire patent text, click on the Download link directly above and to the right of the displayed text. Do NOT use your browser's print, download, or save commands.
Espacenet has partnered with Google Translate to create Patent Translate, which provides translations (of the patent abstract, description and claims) between English and 31 other languages including German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese, and more. Translation from and into French and German is also available for 27 of the 31 languages. See the Patent Translate FAQ for more information.
A useful, though dated, guide to the patent procedures and numbering systems used by different countries is the 2001 edition of the Derwent Global Patent Sources: An Overview of International Patents located on the first floor of the Lockwood Library Science & Engineering Reference Collection Call Number T210 .D47 2001.
USPTO Patent Databases: The United States Patent & Trademark Office offers free access to the full text of U.S. patents and patent applications through its website.
The USPTO Issued Patents Database contains the full text of U.S. patents issued from 1790 to the present. Patents from 1790-1975 can be searched by patent number, issue date, or classification code only. Patents from 1976 to the present can be searched by keyword as well as patent number, classification code, inventor's name, assignee's (company's) name, issue and application date, etc. The USPTO Patent Applications Database contains the full text of patent applications published since March 15, 2001.
We recommend you consult the Cooperative Patent Classification System before beginning your search. See Section 3 of this guide for more information. However, one can also consult the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office's Index to the U.S. Patent Classification System in conjunction with its Manual of Classification (class number order).
PATENTSCOPE: This patent database maintained by WIPO covers nearly 40 million patents from 36 countries including European (EP) and World (PCT) patents. See National Collections - Data Coverage for a listing of the countries and data fields searched. A user's guide is available online.
Special features include free online translation of patent texts using Google Translate and an innovative cross-lingual search capability that automatically translates search terms into multiple languages and includes those terms in your query. PATENTSCOPE also includes excellent analysis and refining tools to narrow search results. Information from the results can be shown as tables, graphs, or pie charts. For example, a pie chart could be produced showing the number of patents from each country.
Derwent Innovations Index: Although this database is more limited in the number of countries and dates covered (2008+), it has a sophisticated search system that permits very precise, yet broad, retrieval. For example, this system permits left and right hand word stemming (truncation), e.g., '*degrad*' that would pick up all words with that character string embedded therein (biodegradation, photodegradable, degradations, etc.) One can also build complex searching using Boolean logic use 'OR' to search for many synonyms/variant terms and 'AND' to combine any number of concepts. As part of the Web of Science search system, Derwent Innovations Index provides in-depth indexing of patents from 40 issuing authorities for the years 2008 to the present. Nearly all scientific and technical areas are covered including chemistry, electrical technologies, electronics, engineering, and other applied technologies.
For six major patent offices (U.S., Europe, PCT, Germany, Great Britain, and Japan), patents and articles cited by a given patent can be viewed, but not searched. Using the Advanced Search feature, citing patents can be viewed and searched by number, assignee, and inventor.
The database can be used to discover the latest technological advances, monitor competitors' progress, formulate fresh ideas for research, or get an overview of inventions in the global marketplace.
Additional details can be found in our Derwent Innovations Index database description page and the producers detailed Database Help Index.
Section 2: Other Freely Available Databases
- Google Patents - covers the entire collection of granted patents and published patent applications from the USPTO, EPO, and WIPO. US patent documents date back to 1790, EPO and WIPO to 1978.See their FAQ page for more information.
- The Lens (formerly Patent Lens): Search patents from 15 countries with strong, innovative graphical display of results and numerous refine options including applicants, countries, inventors, cited articles and authors, and classification codes. This is a little known, but very powerful search system.
Section 3: Patent Classification Searching
Depending on the database and the age of the patent, often there are few, if any, keyword fields (title, abstracts, indexing). For example, U.S. patent records in the USPTO database prior to 1976 can only be retrieved by issue date, patent classification codes, and patent number. Hence, to do the most comprehensive search possible, one must identify classification codes for the topic of interest. However, a searcher faces three major challenges:
- Classification systems are very detailed and extensively hierarchical.
- Given the level of detail, multiple classification codes are usually assigned to a patent, each designating a particular aspect of the invention. Hence, the full invention is often described only by a combination of codes.
- Historically, there were three major classification systems: U.S., ECLA (European Patent Office), and International Patent (IPC) systems. Fortunately, a new system, the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) system has recently been developed. As of early 2015, patents from at least 18 countries have been assigned CPC codes in ESPACENET. This includes U.S. patents back to July, 1836, many European countries, China, World (PCT), and Japan. It is expected that eventually nearly all patent offices will adopt the CPC system. The ECLA system has been completely replaced by the CPC already.
The good news is that all the classifications systems have an easily searchable/browsable free online database.
- CPC Patent Classification Browse Search
- U.S. Patent Classification System Browse Search Keyword Index
- International Patent Classification System
Whenever possible, it is recommended that CPC codes be searched. The CPC is much more up-to-date and detailed compared to the other two systems. Often the best strategy is to retrieve patents with a good keyword search and then examination the description of the classification codes assigned to the most relevant patents. Finally, do a second search using some combination of the most relevant codes.
For more information about the CPC system: CPC FAQs and CPC About Information.
Section 4: National & International Patent Offices
- U.S. Patent & Trademark Office
- Canadian Patents Database: This database provides access to Canadian patent. Titles, issue dates, classifications, inventors, and assignees are searchable back to 1869. Abstracts and claims are searchable from August 15, 1978. Full-text images are available back to 1869.
- European Patent Office
- Japanese Patent Office Industrial Property Digital Library: Searchable database of patent information held by the Japanese Patent Office available for free via the Internet. Access consists of English summaries of patents and patent applications as well as Japanese text.
- Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China: The web site includes a link to the China Patent Inquiry System, which can be directly accessed at: http://www.cpquery.gov.cn/index.jsp?language=en_us.
- Directory of Intellectual Property Offices around the world, A to Z, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
Section 5: Intellectual Property
Section 6: Library Patent Collections / Depositories
- U.S. Patent & Trademark Resource Centers: Libraries designated as Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries (PTDLs) receive current issues of U.S. patents and maintain collections of earlier-issued patents as well as trademarks. In the Western New York area, the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library is the designated PTDL. For more information, call 716-858-7101.

Phil Steele has partnered with Capital One to release the EXCLUSIVE MascotMeter
Meter Rank
|I don't think there was any doubt that Cocky was the #1 seed in the playoffs and naturally he finished off the season in impressive style. Sparty qualified for the playoffs, even with the loss last week, my power ratings only had Cocky winning by 14% and he won 62-38%. That bumps him up one point closer to perfection at 64 in my power ratings with 65 being the perfect score and also sets him up with a rematch with Sparty, who finished as the #8 seed. I would expect another dominating win this week for Cocky and let's see if he can top last week's 24% margin.
Red Raider
|Raider Red basically had a playoff-type setting last week taking on Wilma Wildcat who was #9 coming in. Wilma's loss eliminated her from the playoffs and that was pretty much true to form. My power ratings had Raider Red favored to win by 8% and that was exactly what he did with a 54-46% margin. Raider Red finishes the regular season with an outstanding 11-1 record and owns 11 straight wins and just beat Ms Wuf a few weeks back. Raider Red is the clear-cut #2 seed for the playoffs and did not face Cocky during the regular season which sets up for a very interesting final should they both get there. This week Raider Red starts off with Truman the Tiger and my power ratings have Red favored by 6%.
Ms Wuf
|While Ms Wuf only earned the #4 seed in the playoff rankings, which could be crucial as that would mean a 2nd round matchup vs Cocky. I still like her as the #3 mascot. Last week Ms Wuf had a somewhat closer than expected win over Truman the Tiger as my power ratings called for her to win by 5% and it was 50.2-49.8%. Ms Wuf finished the regular season with an outstanding 9-3 record but lost the tie-breaker with Sebastian the Ibis when she lost 52-48% in the regular season. Interestingly, Ms Wuf's other 2 losses this year are to the top 2 seeds in Raider Red by a 51-49% margin and Cocky by only a 52-48% margin. As you know, Ms Wuf is my daughter's favorite for the Title and should be a favorite of the female voters as she is the only one that made it into the playoffs this year.
|It was pretty much a no brainer that Sebastian would win last week as he was taking on the previously winless Scarlet Knight. Scarlet Knight dropped to an imperfect 0-12 on the year but he did get a little bump in the rankings as my projection only called for a win by 26% and he ended up winning by 36% (68-32%). Sebastian has a pair of losses to the top 2 mascots in the challenge with a surprising 61-39% loss to Raider Red and only losing to Cocky 52-48%. He also had a surprising loss to Cam the Ram who is in the playoffs as well. The head-to-head tie-breaker was a win vs Ms Wuf which got him the #3 seed and my power rankings still rate him #4 among the playoff entrants.
Cam the Ram
|Cam the Ram should enter the contest refreshed as the last 2 weeks he has only taken on Scarlet Knight and Cosmo, a pair of mascots that combined for a 2-22 mark this season. Last week Cam was supposed to win by 18 but he only won by 12 which drops him 1 in the power ratings despite the lopsided win. It also drops him to #5 in the power ratings at 50 as Sebastian the Ibis passed him up. Cam began the season low in the power ratings but already has wins over Wilma Wildcat and Sebastian the Ibis. This week Cam has a tough battle with Ms Wuf, another 9-3 mascot and Cam's losses this year have been to Raider Red by .6% (less than one), Cocky by 15% and Truman the Tiger by 1.4%. Cam will be a worthy foe for Ms Wuf this week.
Truman Tiger
|Truman's loss last week to Ms Wuf was by a very close margin of 50.2-49.8% and he did lead for portions at time during the week. Despite the loss, Truman climbs to 49 in my power ratings despite having just a 7-5 mark. All 7 of Truman's wins have been to mascots that have losing records this year so it will be interesting to see how he fairs in the playoffs as none of them have losing records. Raider Red figures to be a formidable adversary for week one. I've been impressed with Truman's performance this year and last week's near upset.
|YouDee tuned up for the playoffs by beating 2 of my top mascots in the preseason, Mike the Tiger of LSU and The Duck of Oregon and did so with wins of 54-46% and 57-43%. YouDee's 4 losses this year have all been to playoff opponents in Sebastian by 2%, Cocky by 9%, Cam the Ram by 13.4% and Ms Wuf by 1.2%. If you're looking for the mostly likely upset pick in the first round, it will probably be YouDee with a shot at Sebastian and that will be interesting to watch. Keep in mind, a couple times in recent years, the FCS fans have been behind the FCS representatives and guided him to a title.
|Sparty had the unfortunate task of taking on Cocky last week and came up short by even bigger than my power ratings called for, losing 61.7-38.3%. That got Sparty a rematch with Cocky this week and a likely quick out for the playoffs for the #8 seed. Sparty comes in with a 7-5 record on the year and all 5 losses were to playoff mascots.

Tokyo • Japan's transport minister said Friday the government will allow Japanese airlines to resume flying grounded Boeing 787s once they complete installation of systems to reduce fire risk in problematic lithium ion batteries.
The Japanese authorities formally approved Boeing's fixes to the batteries on its 787 Dreamliner jets, clearing the path for its biggest operators to begin flying the planes again following a grounding that began in January.
U.S. and European regulators have already approved Boeing's plans to add safety features to the 787's lithium-ion batteries that would minimize the odds that they would emit smoke or catch fire, after two units overheated on separate planes in January.
Late Friday, the Japanese Ministry of Transport followed suit, authorizing All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines which together own about half of the 50 Dreamliners delivered to resume flights of a plane whose grounding has affected tens of thousands of passengers.
All Nippon said that teams of Boeing engineers had already started to replace batteries on all of its 17 Dreamliners and that fixes would take until the end of May to complete. The airline said it would start using the planes again for commercial flights when the fixes had been made to its entire fleet. Japan Airlines declined to speculate on how long the fixes would take.
All Nippon said its 787s would each undergo a test flight to "confirm that no battery-related failures occur during flight." The first test flight is scheduled for Sunday, the Tokyo-based airline said in a statement.
The airline will also install improved battery monitoring systems on its planes and put its 787 cockpit crews through additional in-flight training. After the planes are back in service, the airline will remove a sample of batteries to inspect to make sure the improvements are effective, All Nippon said.
All Nippon said it intended to set up a dedicated website to address passenger concerns about the safety of the 787, parts of which were manufactured at Boeing's operations in the Salt Lake Valley,.
U.S. and Japanese regulators have been investigating the Japanese-made batteries aboard the 787 after one caught fire aboard a parked plane in Boston operated by Japan Airlines and another emitted smoke during an All Nippon flight in Japan, forcing an emergency landing. The incidents prompted regulators to ground the entire 787 fleet.
Norihiro Goto, the head of the Japan Transport Safety Board, said this week that investigators remained unsure what had caused the batteries to overheat. But Japan was satisfied that Boeing had now considered all conceivable potential problems that could lead to a battery fire, Goto said.
Japanese airlines have been enthusiastic buyers of the 787, Boeing's latest-generation, fuel-efficient plane. It is the first passenger jet to use lithium-ion batteries, which are more powerful, easier to charge and lighter than older battery technologies. They have also proven to be prone to overheating, however.

Companies struggling to receive payments from clients and customers outsourced £1.145bn to debt collections agencies in the three months to September, new figures reveal.
Publishing statistics for the first time, the Credit Services Association (CSA), which represents the UK debt collection industry, said the figure was a 12% increase on the previous quarter when £1.021bn was outsourced.
The rise was even more compared to the £0.928bn recorded in last three months of 2011.
The volume of debts also increased from 595,901 in Q2 to 616,078 in Q3.
Michelle Moore, from the CSA, said the figures show that the use of third-party debt collection agencies has become an "integral part" of companies' credit management strategies.

Wouldn't there have been more leeway with legitimate sons in opposition to

I don't think you can say "the legitimate ones are treated this way,

Opposition leader Tony Abbott says Labor's poor polling results reflect a government that is focused on itself, not the people of Australia.
"The problem for the Australian people is they want strong and stable government and instead they've got what's looking increasingly like a soap opera in Canberra," he said.
A Fairfax poll out today shows support for Labor in western Sydney has dropped dramatically, with members in traditionally 'safe' seats with margins of up to 12 per cent in trouble.
The poll results have fuelled speculation panicked Labor MPs might switch leaders in the run up to September's election, with the polling showing strong support for former PM Kevin Rudd.
Mr Abbott said it didn't matter who led the Labor party to the election.
"My job is the same regardless of who wins the Labor party leadership. Whether its Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd the job of the opposition is to hold a bad government to account and to be a credible alternative," he said.
Mr Abbott was dismissive of the impact Prime Minister Julia Gillard's forthcoming tour of western Sydney due to start on Sunday might have on the Government's standing, saying he was "not a tourist" in Sydney and spent the majority of his time here.
"I've visited western Sydney 47 times since the last election," he said.

International courts and tribunals have become major players in the fight against impunity and the enforcement of international criminal law. Since 1993, a number of new international criminal tribunals have been created to address some of the most serious violations of international criminal law. The stated mission of these new tribunals has been to bring an end to impunity, and their creation was broadly perceived as a sign of the maturation of international law and as indicative of its improved enforcement capabilities.
Still, with the hindsight of almost 15 years since the beginning of this 'new wave' of international judicial proceedings seeking to establish criminal responsibility for the perpetration of mass atrocities, the contribution of international and internationalized (or hybrid) courts to the overall fight against impunity may seem questionable. The actual number of international prosecutions has been relatively small pertaining only to a fraction of the individuals suspected of perpetrating international crimes. And ongoing violations of human rights on a massive scale in Sudan and other places also put into question the degree of deterrence actually produced by the different international criminal procedures.
Due to the limited capabilities of international courts, the vast majority of trials of individuals suspected of perpetrating criminal offences in the context of mass atrocity situations is expected to take place before the domestic courts of the state in whose territory the events took place, or in the state of nationality of the perpetrators. Such trials do not only present a way to reduce costs and improve enforcement capabilities, they may also enjoy greater social legitimacy than trials conducted by international courts.
The DOMAC project comprises three distinct, yet inter-related analytical components. First, it will gather data and offer analysis of the actual interaction between national and international courts in mass atrocity situations exploring, cross-fertilization between national and international courts. In addition, it will explore the actual interplay between national and international courts in the context of specific case studies, and the specific interaction facilitated by the involvement of the International Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights in mass atrocity situations. Secondly, it will analyse the problems that lack of coordination and synchronization and under-utilization of national courts create. Thirdly, the project will consider specific solutions to the problems identified. Some of these deal with past attempts to improve coordination between national and international courts.
Strategic Impact
The DOMAC Project will entail original case studies and comparisons of their interactions between the different legal systems domestic, regional, and international and it will make recommendations for optimizing the complementary nature of international and national courts.
The project aims to contribute to the formulation, development and implementation of policy at European or national level, including peace-building and peace-keeping initiatives, and to informed and effective policy-making with respect to international criminal justice and responses to mass atrocities
The outcomes of this empirical research will allow for more rational decision making, inter alia, on the allocation of resources, coordination or synchronization-enhancing strategies and other policy decisions affecting national and international courts, and the relations between them.
Further information
Further information about the project is available at the DOMAC project website at http://www.domac.is, or from Alejandro Chehtman, at email@example.com.

I ought to have heard of them, because I knew everyone in the music scene in
the E Cape at least, but I guess Bloemfontein was just too far out of the
loop. (I only seem vaguely to remember the name.) But there is a reference
book of musicians in South Africa (I forget its title and don't have a copy of
any of the volumes - not even sure how many volumes there were) and I would

Re: LEMMER GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH
"Dear Chloris, Thanks for the info. However the branch I am looking for
belongs to Prof Petrus J LEMMER of Bloemfontein who married Millicent May
HOUZET. They had two sons, Richard Houzet LEMMER and Leonard Petrus LEMMER. I
lost touch with these very close cousins of mine after childhood in the late
fifties of the last century. I do know that Prof PJL was the head of the music
dept at University of OFS and was quite a well-known composer. Millicent May,
my aunt, and the youngest of the seven children of Otto Joseph Julius HOUZET
of Steynsburg, Cape, taught music at Eunice, Bloem. Richard became a nuclear
physicist and Prof at MIT (USA) and later at Wits. Leonard became a Prof of
music at UOFS following in his father's footsteps. I seem to have drawn a
miserable blank on this LEMMER genealogical research so far. Yours sincerely,
Merlin Houzet"

I picked the Fourseasons hotel since it was supposed to be the best - considering the high prices they charge it should have been the best experience in Geneva, but to the contrary.
They were busy with hotel renovations during my stay (not that this should be my problem at any account - renovations should not impact me since I am still expected to pay a high premium rate for my stay). This caused hammering and noise in the hotel all all day long.
Being 5 months pregnant and having a cold I picked up while traveling I requested a late check out 7pm the eve (my flight was at 9pm). They agreed but at a half day rate - which I decided to do since I had such a long trip back to SA. My meetings finished in the morning and I was planning a sleep/rest in the afternoon before making my way back to SA - but of course - renovations continued with banging that continued all afternoon. I phoned reception to ask them to stop all the noise so I could rest (again - why should renovations be my problem??). They initially agreed. I had just fallen asleep when reception woke me telling me that they have to continue with the renovations while they will move me to another room. Imagine this - me in my pajamas, interrupted sleep and finally moved to another room at 3pm the afternoon. I was not happy. I tried to fall asleep again, but alas no luck. Eventually started to get ready for my trip back. Still exhausted and my view that the late check-out was actually in the end not worth it due to the interruptions. When I checked my bill when I got home the following afternoon I saw that I was actually charged a full rate for my extended stay. I have to date sent 3 emails to Geneva Fourseasons regarding queries on my statement and bill and they have not bothered to come back to me (2 weeks later). For such a premium, costly hotel - I am completely horrified. This is not the service I expect and paid for...
