I met Frosty last summer after getting a call from a friend about a dog tied to a bush at a golf course.
We couldn't tell if the dog had been intentionally tied to the bush or had gotten his leash tangled in it. Didn't matter; he was stuck, and he was not happy at the idea of our trying to unstick him. He was scared to death, growling and backing up whenever we would try to approach, his tail tucked tightly between his back legs.
It took three of us two hours to get the dog untangled, to my car, and in a crate.
It took me five days after that to win him over. I spent about 40 minutes each of those days sitting in his run, reading and ignoring him, as he sat warily backed against the wall, as far away from me as he could get. He didn't want anything to do with me. He did, however, willingly eat the treats I tossed toward him.
My patience paid off; finally he approached me, tip of his tail lowered – but not tucked between his back legs –wagging slowly back and forth. He took a treat from my hand. The ice broke.
Slowly but surely, Frosty and I became friends. When I would approach his kennel, leash in hand, he would leap against the gate, tail wagging furiously. Once out of the kennel, he would leap in the air, trying to lick my face, a behavior I would have stopped in any other dog. But in fearful Frosty, I encouraged any and all happy actions.
Once my rescue partner, Sharon, started coming to the kennel and walking and training him (using food, of course, to reinforce good behavior), she became his friend, too.

Name: Jamel Lawera
Age: 38
School: Principal at
Background: Leading a school for the first time brings awesome responsibilities, but make no bones about it: Jamel Lawera said he is delighted with those challenges.
Appointed to lead Salina Intermediate last month after the Dearborn School Board approved his promotion, Lawera said the time was right for him to take on this new role.
"I felt I was ready at this time to be a principal," said Lawera, who began his career with Dearborn Schools in 1998. "I have many goals for the school, and I'm confident we can meet them."
Lawera's teaching career began after he attended Wayne State University, where he earned a bachelor's of science degree and eventually, a master's in educational leadership.
Lawera has taught at a handful of facilities within Dearborn Schools. A big change came when he was appointed as administrative intern at , which was a specially created position.
Thereafter, Lawera served as an assistant principal at the and Elementary schools, and then held the same position at Salina Intermediate.
In addition to his education and work experience, Lawera has taken several additional courses offered by professional organizations to prepare him for the position he holds today.
Goals and aspirations: Lawera said many people may think being a principal essentially removes that person away from children, but the way he sees it, leading a school should mean more interaction with students.
"As a teacher you may have 25 to 30 students that you're working with for an entire year," he said. "But as a principal, you have all of the students.
"It's essential to be visible as a principal, and to be familiar with the students," Lawera added. "Visibility, and providing leadership for the staff and the students, is extremely important."
Increasing student achievement is a major goal for Lawera. He said implementing programs that provide positive behavioral and educational support will be cornerstone of meeting that goal.
"These strategies have been proven to help students meet expectations," he said. "It helps students understand what's expected, and it provides the support they need to be able to meet goals."

In the wake of the past year's reports of numerous corporate misdeeds, relatively few businesses have thought about making substantive voluntary changes in their ways of working. And, among companies that have made changes, the actions are general rather than specific. Those are the findings of "The Enron Enigma: Changing Expectations," a July 2002 working paper by H.J. Zoffer, dean emeritus and a professor of business administration at the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business, and Eugene Fram, J. Warren McClure research professor of marketing at New York's Rochester Institute of Technology.The authors conducted a survey, mailing a brief questionnaire to 2,500 chief financial officers of large companies in the United States and to 2,000 English-speaking CFOs of large European companies. The questions focused on six critical areas in which companies would be likely to take action: internal financial controls; internal and external financial communications; ethics codes and procedures for employees' behavior; relationships with external auditors; relationships with corporate boards of directors; and the composition and scope of responsibility of internal audit or finance committees.Interestingly, ethics code changes are the least reported activity.

The entire World has caught Linsanity from Jeremy Lin's superstardom that has taken over the entire Sports and Real World… Even President Barack Obama stated that he is quite impressed by the ball skills of Chinese/Taiwanese American Lin who also attended President Obama's Alma mater, Harvard University.
With his Worldwide Superstardom growing with every game, leading the Knicks to a 7 game winning streak since he's been playing, it's only natural that all the advertisers and endorsers begin cashing in on the Linsanity Phenomenon.
Nike will soon be releasing their new line for the man of the hour… The Nike Hyperfuse 2011 Linsanity PE, the first batches of which will only be available in the Blue and Orange colors of The New York Knicks. But considering the story and the name, I think these shoes would've been better if they called them "Linderella's Slippers".
But even with only these colors to choose from, I'm sure they will fly off the shelves just as both Lin's Official and Counterfeit Jerseys have been doing all across the globe.

Marlborough's Whittier pens, produces and casts movies - and works full time as a teacher.
Is a great script only one that contains pages and pages of dialogue? Can a film succeed with minimal or no dialogue? Go the multiplex right now and you'll see two examples of movies where silence is golden: "All Is Lost" and "Gravity."
You'd expect a film titled "Thor: The Dark World" to be a bleak and brooding affair. Far from it.
We've had "Bad Santa," "Bad Lieutenant" and "Bad Teacher." Now we have "Bad Grandpa." What's next? "Bad Rabbi"? I can already see the movie poster's tag line: "Don't miss this bris." But I digress.
Stallone and Schwarzenegger sentenced to hard labor in "Escape Plan."
A documentary film about American volunteers who rode Model T cars to battle during World War I will be screened Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Fort Devens Museum.
Holliston music and movie producer Jim Sampas will introduce "Big Sur,'' a movie based on a Jack Kerouac novel, Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 7:30 p.m. at its New England premiere at the Regent Theatre in Arlington.
It was the best of times and it was the worst of times for moviegoers last month with the releases of "Enough Said" and "Baggage Claim." The former represents all that is good about romantic comedies, the latter all that is bad. Sitting through these two diametrically opposed films made me think of other romcoms that dared to be different.
Framingham State University's International Film Series, now in its 31st year, has a new home at the Amazing Things Arts Center.
How come so many American actors and actresses are so bad at delivering a presentable English accent? So I decided to get an answer, garnering examples through a little cogitation and research and a lot of asking around. A dozen fruits of my dialectical labors are listed below, in no particular order of proficiency.
Make sure you bring your walking shoe to Washington, D.C., one of America's most beautiful city centers: thoughtfully laid out, artfully designed in the Francophile style of the founding fathers, and stuffed to the hilt with historical, cultural, gastronomical and just plain whimsical sights.

Let's play the analogy game. The Percy Jackson films are to the Harry Potter films what "Porky's" is to "National Lampoon's Animal House." Too harsh? Hold on, just as there are easy-to-please teens who are enthralled by "Porky's," there are easy-to-please tweens who adore Percy Jackson. As for the rest of us, well, perhaps we can all bow our heads and pray, "Lord have Percy."
Still, even if the George Zimmerman case never existed, "Fruitvale Station" merits attention on its own for its powerhouse portrayal of a young life cut tragically and senselessly short.

After laughing my derrière off while watching "The Heat," I feel now would be a good time to address Jerry Lewis' recent disparaging of female comedians. In case you missed his comments at the Cannes Film Festival this year, Lewis said he didn't have any favorite female comedians. One can only hope that the ghost of Lucille Ball haunts his mansion while pouring Vitameatavegamin all over the furniture. But Lewis was just warming up.
"The Heat" revels in remale rudeness, crudeness, brashness and tastelessness. But sexual politics aside, "The Heat," just like "Bridesmaids," is hysterically funny.

Family asks for privacy at Derry teen's funeral
Saying they were totally devastated by her loss, the family had requested privacy and members of the media were kept back from the parking lot in front of the church. A spokesman for family members said they didn't want to speak to the media or be photographed.

And the reason for this
Written by Buba

in consequence of the missive, GR: Both, but with different skill, penned by KateL
difference in the ability to scheme is rooted in the characters of the two ladies, formed by their social positions: Lucy was always dependent and poor, so she had to practise much more scheming, manipulatiion and flattery; while Lady Middleton is the wife of a rich country gentleman and the daughter of a rich indulgent lady, so she was and is much less dependent, always had an enviable social position. Therefore Lady Middleton could get away without being really scheming, she just needs to flatter herself believing in her skills as a deft manipulator. Of course, the ability to scheme depends on the innate affinity of the individual and here again Lucy is better equipped than Lady Middleton. |

The plan (and part of the sinister reason that the new boot code was put
into place) is to gradually phase out the older binutils versions and
migrate to 2.9.5. The older versions just have too many problems, which
although might seem small (and most, truthfully, are) but some are truly
enormous in very subtle ways :)
As the first step, the boot code as is currently stands compiles with all
versions of binutils, 184.108.40.206.7 and up (lower might work, untested). It
does happily whine when compiled with newer binutils, though, as we've
The next step, once the documentation has been updated and people have
been given a good warning, is to fix up the few warts remaining and have
some 2.9.5 version be the absolute required minimum (at the moment its
only a *very* strong recommendation). Might not even be until 2.5, who
knows for sure.

That was a nice side effect (appearance), but not the sole purpose.
Consistency in kernel usage of asm, leverage in making users update
binutils (because it *needs* to be done eventually), reduction in tools
needed to build kernel, my name in lights, to name a few. :)

Natural Gas Technologies
Converting to Natural Gas
Natural gas is an excellent choice - it's clean, safe, reliable and efficient. Natural gas is also environmentally friendly. Converting your business to natural gas takes less time and money than you might think. Call us for a free, no-obligation consultation; we'll do the rest. If you choose to convert to natural gas for heating, water heating, cooking or processing, our engineers and trade partners will develop a plan tailored to the needs of your business. Contact us at . Space Heating Whether your business has a furnace, boiler, rooftop furnace or unit heaters, natural gas is the fuel most businesses choose when they have a choice. Natural gas provides fast, even heat without mess or the inconvenience of deliveries. Natural gas is the most reliable heating fuel for your business. Water Heating Natural gas water heaters are efficient and reliable, and are an excellent choice for commercial businesses which require ample hot water supply on demand. Various natural gas water-heating technologies provide many hot water solutions for the commercial customer. Space Conditioning There are multiple commercial gas space conditioning applications available to businesses. Natural gas engine-driven chillers are used to drive conventional refrigeration compressors and offer the added option of recovering waste heat to generate hot water or steam for process or building heating. Absorption chillers produce chilled water for cooling large commercial buildings, and desiccant dehumidification systems are used to reduce humidity in the air. All of these applications use economical, environmentally friendly natural gas. Air Compressors Many manufacturing and processing operations use compressed air, yet few of these customers are aware of the savings that could be realized by choosing natural gas driven systems. Most of these firms would be surprised to learn that a typical plant's air compressor system can account for as much as 30 percent of their electric bill. Investing in a compressor system powered by economical natural gas can save your business time, money and inconvenience. Cogeneration Cogeneration is an option for many commercial or industrial customers with high electric usage and a use for recovered heat. Cogeneration produces both electricity and useable heat in a single process. The useable heat can take the form of hot water or steam. Because cogeneration equipment captures and uses heat that would otherwise be wasted, it is far more efficient and economical than conventional separate processes. When powered by natural gas it can produce savings for commercial customers. Process Technologies Process technologies are used in a variety of situations from ovens and furnaces to dryers and dehumidification systems. Many technologies such as radiant heating systems, high temperature oxygen-gas burners and immersion tube firing are just a few of the process technologies that are powered by natural gas. Natural gas continues to offer operational flexibility and versatility for the commercial customer. If you are interested in finding out more information on the various technologies for your business, contact us at (508) 730-1038 . |

The University of Texas at Austin - Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Science
Western Illinois University - Master of Science in College Student Personnel
Did you change your major? YES! I changed my major twice. Both my parents are engineers and I thought that I had to go into science of engineering to get a good job. I started college as a chemistry major with the intention of going into chemical engineering eventually. I realized after two semesters that, although I was good at chemistry, I really did not like it. My lack of interest and passion led to lack of motivation and a few bad grades. I changed my major to nutrition and dietetics, because I was not comfortable leaving the science field and nutrition had plenty of science courses. After two more semesters I realized that the thing I loved most about nutrition and dietetics was working with people and not the science classes. I changed my major for the last time to human development and family sciences where I learned all about the growth and development of people and relationships.
Have you ever dropped a class? Yes I did drop a class. During my third semester I was registered for classes I needed for a chemistry major, which included calculus. Since I transferred into a major that did not require a high level of math I decided to drop calculus after midterms, because I was not doing well. I decided that dropping calculus and receiving a "W" was a better option than negatively affecting my GPA. I took a summer class to make up for the lost hours and the "W" had no impact on my admittance to graduate school or getting a job.

What's American About Chinatown?
Woody Allen once said: "I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." Sadly, Woody didn't know Bonnie Tsui when he made that statement. Tsui, a regular contributor to the New York Times, is currently enjoying the release of her latest book American Chinatown, in which she visits and reports on five vital and unique American Chinatown communities — New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, and Las Vegas — to form a series of elucidating images of what these communities mean to their people as well as those of us who would look at them from a distance. In the end, Chinatown comes to mean something larger about the nature of traveling in search of Otherness, but at the same time the book provides a deep look at what makes each of these communities tick. Tsui, also a gifted visual artist, drew her own maps and shot photos for her book. She recently took time from an extensive radio interview and press schedule to speak about some of these issues and tell us the dirty truth about the Las Vegas Miss Chinatown pageant, debunk Chinatown lore as produced by Hollywood, and discuss why people still need to embark on travels into manufactured corridors of cultural kitsch.
Adam Baer: You didn't grow up in a Chinatown, right? So why do Chinatowns feel like home to you?
Bonnie Tsui: No, I didn't grow up in Chinatown; my parents came through New York's Chinatown in the late 1960′s, and my grandparents arrived there even earlier, in 1960. I was the first generation of my family to be born in America, and that was in Flushing, Queens — now home to the largest population of Chinese in New York City. But even though I grew up mostly in Long Island, we always went back to Chinatown to do Chinese things: shopping, wedding banquets, visits with family. So it was the home, in a way, for my Chinese self. That informed my identity as I got older and began to wonder about how I really wanted to incorporate Chinese culture into my own adult life.
AB: And how did you want to incorporate it? Did you see yourself as a kid with two selves: a non-Chinese self and Chinese self?
BT: I certainly did as a child: I remember very vividly this incident in elementary school, when I accidentally spoke Chinese in the classroom to another student. When I realized it, I felt such shame — it was the first time I made that distinction between my Chinese and non-Chinese worlds. I think, as a young adult, I began to reconcile those two, and to feel more control over it. When I began working in New York after college, I started taking Cantonese language lessons with a Mr. Wen down on Grand Street in Chinatown, to learn the kind of vocabulary related to politics, travel, journalism, that I never learned at home. I went into the neighborhood to shop, eat with friends, do daily things. And it felt liberating in a way because it was my choice to do so.
AB: Was it less than liberating to visit Chinatown as a Chinese-American kid from the suburbs?
BT: Hah — it felt forced. My brother and my two cousins and I always complained about going, about being dragged there, about having to speak Chinese to our relatives. There was guilt — so Chinese! — and delight at being able to speak Chinese when we could. And there was shame when we felt tongue-tied.
AB: So some Chinese-Americans would seem to hate Chinatowns given some of the conversations I have had with colleagues. What do you think is a chief rationale for this feeling?
BT: I wouldn't say hate, but it's true that some Chinese Americans dislike them. The rationale for that differs from generation to generation: if you're a new immigrant who doesn't have much choice but to live there, because you don't speak English and you can't afford to live anywhere else, you feel trapped; if you're a fourth-generation adult who has never had much intimate connection with the neighborhood on a functional level, maybe you just think it's touristy and dirty and kitschy.
AB: What is the chief difference between Chinatowns and other ethnic neighborhoods, such as Little Italy regions?
BT: I would say that Chinatowns have a continuing influx of new immigrants that keeps the neighborhood vital, as a living, functional community. Little Italy is no longer a place where new Italian immigrants come to because they have to. Chinatown is still that kind of a place, because it has the services and the kinship ties that keep the chain of migration going. Language, of course, is the chief difficulty for new immigrants.
AB: What about the looking-in aspect? Has visitor traffic to Chinatowns — most of them, as opposed to say the Chinatown-mall in Las Vegas — decreased over the years as non-Chinese Americans have grown more accustomed to Asian Americans involved in so many aspects of mainstream American life? Is Chinatown really still a place that provides a sense of Otherness for Americans? Or maybe the Otherness has become more about kitsch?
BT: You know, that's an interesting question. I can't speak to the visitor numbers specifically, but San Francisco's Chinatown still ranks among the top attractions in the city for tourists, right up there with the Golden Gate Bridge. The funny thing is that people still perceive Chinatown as "other" even though the Chinese have been here for 150 years. Chinatown in this country is older than the Statue of Liberty. And yet in 1882, we passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, the first law to ban immigration based on race or country of origin. It still is a place that provides a foreign-yet-familiar feeling for Americans. If you ask people why they like it, even today, so many of them will tell you that it's because they feel like they're in a foreign country when they're in Chinatown.
AB: I'll be honest: I often feel more foreign in a Hasidic Jewish community. And while I'm a secular Jew, I had very religious grandparents who survived the Holocaust. But maybe I've just been to a lot of Chinatowns…
BT: Well, that definitely speaks to the "familiar" part of the "foreign-yet-familiar" feeling surrounding Chinatown…!
AB: Well put. Moving on, I'm not sure this is a question, but some guy once told me that there are more Armenian people in Glendale, C.A. than in any other part of the world other than Armenia. Then he joked, with a hefty dose of political incorrectness, one might say, that he was sure that if he visited Armenia, it would look like Glendale. How has the visual aspect of America's Chinatowns changed over the years?
BT: That's a funny anecdote… Chinatowns seem to have become more tourist-focused over the years, but it's not entirely true if you look at San Francisco's Chinatown (and New York's). There were people going into Chinatown as tourists from the 1850′s onward; you can find guidebooks from the early 1900′s that tell you all about the exotic, nefarious experiences you're going to have when you visit! From opium dens to gambling havens, and so on. Some people even acted out fake muggings and altercations as theater then, for the sake of the tourists' entertainment. But those negative stereotypes didn't work out so well. When you consider that San Francisco's Chinese American merchants had the Chinatown rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake to appeal to tourists as a nice Oriental village — to depart from the idea of it being this dirty, disease-ridden place — it seems that the physical Sinophilic architecture of the neighborhood has quite a long history and is not so recent after all.
AB: Speaking of a long history, how long have you spent writing this book, and don't say "All my life!"
BT: Holy cow. I have been relying on the figure of three years, but I realize that it has probably been more like five or six years. The last three years have been the most intensive. (Consider that I originally wanted to write a book about Chinatowns around the world.)
AB: OK. So given all that time spent on this thing, and given how many radio interviews and speaking engagements you've already done, are you ever just sick of saying the word "Chinatown"? Do you ever think you'll be sick of it? Is your next book going to be about boring places that lack color, language, and culture?
BT: I actually laughed out loud at this one. I sometimes veer to the side of, "Am I just repeating myself? Does anyone even find this interesting?" And by the time I finished the book, I was quite tired of the topic. But I suppose that's the beauty of a long publishing schedule — it gave me some time to regroup. The publicity for the book has been great because it has allowed me to connect and have fascinating conversations with people who never knew much about the neighborhood and its residents; it has also given me the chance to talk with people who have never talked about their own feelings toward their cultural heritage and identity. And I feel very lucky about that.
AB: I will now respectfully remind you that you evaded the question – well, part of it: Do you get tired of the actual word "Chinatown"?
BT: Hmm… sure. In the way I get tired of my own name. Or telling people how to pronounce "Tsui." (Rhymes with "Oy" — of "Oy vey.")
AB: What, in your experience, is funny about Chinatowns? (Both funny-strange, and straight-up funny.)
BT: Funny strange… tourists don't have any compunction about gawking or taking pictures. Sometimes the residents don't care — they're so used to it. But sometimes they really do care — like, why do you feel that you can come to my doorstep and take pictures of me in my personal space? It's kind of an invasion of privacy when you realize that the outdoor spaces, in the alleys, in the parks, are considered an extension of the indoor spaces for many people. Funny funny… I have always liked how the little old ladies of Chinatown are the best at linebacking their way through a crowd. It's really a lifetime skill.
AB: Wait — interjection — when and where do tourists show restraint in taking pictures and invading people's spaces/lives?
BT: Um, never?
AB: Yes, so why is that specific to Chinatowns?
BT: Perhaps I find it strange because it happens so close to home. Right next to the mundane action of downtown. Who takes pictures of people in suits going to work?
AB: Only weirdos like me who try to get slice-of-life photos for travel articles. You got me. So, let's get really serious. The Miss Chinatown contest in Las Vegas. Your impressions?
BT: Unfortunately, the Miss Chinatown Las Vegas pageant only happened once — the parents of the girls got way too crazy and competitive in the follow-up (why do beauty pageants have that tendency to end in a bloodbath?), and founder James Chen didn't want to deal with headache of putting it on anymore. But you can still go to the annual contests in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Honolulu…
AB: Are these local competitions that feed one big American showdown?
BT: Yes — the one big American showdown happens in San Francisco every year.
AB: You will have to post the date on your Web site. In which Chinatown do/did you feel the most foreign? Which one makes you feel like a suburban kid from Long Island? Sans the accent.
BT: I think San Francisco's Chinatown really did make me feel the most foreign. Because a lot of Chinese have been here for so many generations, and they have a stronger, more solid connection to "Chinese-American" than I do, I think. The history here is very palpable, and the larger culture here respects that. The population of New York's Chinatown in many ways is still viewed as foreign — and so many of its immigrants are so very new — even though it's familiar.
AB: Are Chinatowns dangerous as silly lore would have us believe, and if so which one's the most dangerous?
BT: I would say that this "crime/gang" idea has dogged Chinatown for a long time, and for the most part it's not really true anymore. Where it has been true most recently is with human trafficking in New York's Chinatown, as is documented in Patrick Radden Keefe's new book, The Snakehead — he did some serious true-crime investigation. I do mention it in my book, but I didn't really focus on this aspect of the community, but rather on the everyday trials and tribulations of ordinary people in Chinatown.
AB: What's the book's chief takeaway message?
BT: That Chinatown is a place of memory. It does mean all sorts of mundane things: home, work, school, shopping, eating, hanging out. Everyday life. At the same time, it means all kinds of larger ideas, on a personal as well as a larger societal level: community, kinship, survival, the trials and tribulations of the immigrant experience. It's a reminder of the racism that has historically dogged America's past; it speaks to the extraordinary multiethnic tapestry that is this country today. All of these things make Chinatown remarkable.

Vietnam-Venezuela oil and gas JV begins production 0
Reposted from The Voice of VietnamThe commencement was announced in a September 27 report by the national news agency of Venezuela (AVN). With an initial output of 800 barrels per day, the joint venture aims to reach 40,000 barrels per day one year after production began.
The Orinoco Oil Belt holds the world's largest reserves, estimated at around 37 billion barrels. Under the 25 year-contract, the venture will exploit heavy crude oil and extra heavy crude oil from a field in the belt's Junin 2 block.
The venture is one of Vietnam's largest international oil and gas projects. According to a 2011 report from the State-run oil company Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), Petromacareo is expected to invest nearly US$3.9 billion in the construction of infrastructure and drilling wells.
Output could eventually reach up to 200,000 barrels per day.
In April last year, PDVSA signed an agreement with PetroVietnam to expand the Dung Quat oil refinery , facilitating an increase in heavy crude oil production.
Minister for Petroleum and Mining Rafael Ramirez recently said that Venezuela will begin exporting fuel oil to Vietnam by 2015.
Petromacareo is one of six joint ventures between PDVSA and foreign partners that are expected to begin operation in the Orinoco Oil Belt this year. Total production is predicted to reach 1.6 million barrels per day by the end of the year.

So which item did I choose? The LOCKET, for my sister! There were so many jewelry items that I really thought were cute, but I liked this locket. I was really surprised with the quality when I received the locket in the mail. The bear is a generic plushy, but cute enough, and my sister has a collection of bears, so this will definitely be loved. The engraving on the locket is easy to see and there is plenty of space to insert pictures in the locket.
If you are in the market for a personalized gift, definitely give Dakota's Personalized Gifts a chance.

In the two weeks since U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb of Madison, Wisconsin, unceremoniously tossed Apple's breach-of-contract against Motorola just as a trial to determine a fair licensing rate for Motorola's standard-essential wireless tech patents was to begin, Apple's lawyers at Covington & Burling andTensegrity Law Group have been struggling to persuade the judge to change her mind and dismiss the case without prejudice. I already told you about the bench memo Apple submitted on Nov. 5, after Crabb said at a hearing that if Apple wouldn't agree to abide by the licensing rate she set, she would dismiss its declaratory judgment and specific performance claims. Apple argued, in essence, that since Crabb was dismissing on jurisdictional grounds, she hadn't reached the merits of Apple's case, so she couldn't preclude Apple from refiling its claims. Apple repeated those arguments in a brief filed last week, responding to a Nov. 14 brief by Motorola's lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan that urged Crabb to stick by her decision to toss the case with prejudice. "No litigant," Motorola wrote, "should be permitted to try to engineer a judgment to its liking on the eve of the trial, then seek to walk away so that it can reengineer and refile its claims elsewhere, at some later date."
That might seem like the same old bomb-throwing by two companies that have spent the last three years (and untold millions of dollars) attempting to litigate the other's smart devices into oblivion, but last week's briefing, as well as another brief Motorola filed Monday, revealed something new: a tantalizing step toward arbitration that could be, to quote Winston Churchill, the end of the beginning of the smartphone patent wars.
Don't get too excited, because Apple and Motorola are still squabbling over the terms of such an arbitration. But here's where things stand. At the Nov. 5 hearing before Crabb, Motorola suggested, apparently for the first time in open court, that it would be willing to submit to binding arbitration to set a fair and reasonable licensing rate for both its portfolio of patents essential to wireless technology and Apple's corresponding portfolio. Apple General Counsel Bruce Sewell followed up with a letter on Nov. 8 to Motorola GC Kent Walker(cc'ing Google lawyer David Drummond). "Your offer to arbitrate made before Judge Crabb on November 5, 2012, was … welcome news," the Apple letter said. "We agree to arbitrate the value of mutual licenses to our respective (standard-essential patent) portfolios."
Apple suggested certain conditions, however. It wanted the arbitration to cover all standard-essential patents held by Motorola and Apple, to "ensure an efficient process." It called for a common royalty base that takes into account the relative importance of the patents at issue. And it called for a worldwide "litigation stand down," in which both sides would agree not to seek injunctions or licensing rate determinations on any standard-essential patents in any court until the arbitration is complete. Specifically, Apple's Sewell s aid Motorola's ongoing rate case in Germany would have to be stayed.
Motorola's Walker replied to Apple's letter on Nov. 13. He said his company was looking for an even broader resolution of the patent dispute, encompassing all of the intellectual property Motorola and Apple have accused one another of misappropriating. But if Apple wanted to arbitrate just standard-essential licenses, Motorola had a few conditions of its own. One involved a suit Apple has filed in federal court in San Diego, claiming that it is entitled to fair and reasonable license from Motorola by virtue of an agreement between Motorola and the chip maker Qualcomm. Motorola's Nov. 13 letter said that any standstill agreement would have to encompass Apple's case in San Diego. Motorola also said, however, that its rate-setting case in Germany, in which there's already a well-developed record, should continue — and should even, perhaps, simply be extended so that the German court's findings would apply worldwide. In addition, Motorola's letter said that the arbitration panel should have the power to set a royalty base and rate without any preconditions. "In short," the Motorola letter said, "this proceeding would be the forum for all issues between us relating to the use of and payment for either party's (standard-essential patents)." (Groklaw, which was thefirst to report on the disclosure of potential arbitration, contended that Google is controlling Motorola's position. "Google's reply," Groklaw said, "makes it clear (that) there will be a real deal or none. Google didn't just fall off a turnip truck.")

I could have probably added something to his forearms, but it might have looked too bulky, as he is rather skinny.

Very nice concept! The only thing that bugs me is the arm assymetry and build, it is a creative deign, but it can be improved. I would continue using his left arm design, but flip the silver Kalmah armor the other way around and use a short axle to connect it to the top socket.
