Last February, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected a Monsanto patent related to the company's dominant biotech seed business. On July 24, the office rejected three more.
Questions immediately surfaced regarding Monsanto's attempt to stop farmers from saving seed and what the patent rejections might mean for farmers the company has sued.
Before considering issues arising from the Patent and Trademark Office's actions, the agency's use of "rejected" should be explained.
According to Monsanto spokesperson Geri Burdak, "rejected" doesn't mean the patents are no longer valid. "That's not the case. The final process is (moving towards) a decision of whether (the Patent and Trademark Office) will 'revoke' the (patents). So 'rejection' doesn't mean the patent has been revoked."
Dan Ravicher, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit Public Patent Office, compares the Patent and Trademark Office's use of "rejection" to an indictment waiting for evidence.
"It's like someone indicted for a crime who hasn't been found guilty or sentenced," says Ravicher. "That's where we're at now: the patents have been indicted for being invalid. Now, we'll find out if they really are. The decision to reject the patents isn't the end of the case. This isn't over."
And farmers still can't save Monsanto-traited seed.
"At this point, this doesn't impact our patent portfolios for two reasons," says Berdak. "One, they're still in the re-examination process. (Second), these are just four of many patents covering our technology."
However many there are, Ravicher — whose organization alerted the Patent and Trademark Office to possible problems with the patents — wants to put them under the microscope.
The impetus
Before he jumped into the fray, Ravicher was peripherally aware of Monsanto suing farmers over seed. "Some of those cases have gone through the courts and generated important decisions. But I wasn't aware of the extent of their suing until I reviewed the Center for Food Safety report."
That report "goes into great detail cataloguing and analyzing" how Monsanto fights seed piracy. The report cites nearly 100 cases of Monsanto suing farmers.
"In the 68 cases where we could identify the patents involved in the suits, a vast majority involved the patents that have been rejected," says Bill Freese, Center for Food Safety analyst. "Of those 68, the 605 patent (rejected last February) was the only patent involved in 60 percent of the cases.
"The 605 patent and one more (no longer in effect) were at issue in 34 percent of the cases. The fact that these four patents have been central in the Monsanto lawsuits against farmers is very important."
Intrigued by the report, Ravicher and colleagues undertook a review of the Monsanto seed patents — something they say farmers' attorneys hadn't done.
"If you look at the litigation documents, none of the defendants mounted a challenge to the patents. It seemed they hadn't been thoroughly reviewed, even after the court cases."
Even so, there were no red flags waving. "There was nothing immediately obvious, but that isn't unusual. You must undertake a significant amount of analysis and review many materials. However, the conclusion we came to was there were several substantial issues with regard to the patents' validity."
In prior "art" — a term used to describe previous discoveries that have a bearing on a patent's validity — there was information about how to modify seed in a generic way.
"Then, there was also information about which specific parts of the seed need to be modified in order to make it resistant to herbicides. Monsanto just combined those two things, which were already well-known."
And since they're well-known, Ravicher argues, they shouldn't be proprietary. "We wrote a letter to the patent office saying, 'Hey, you granted these patents but you weren't aware of all the prior art we've found. We're sending you evidence.'"
Scott Baucum says Monsanto was hardly surprised at the Patent and Trademark Office review. "If you follow this, you'll find that people are constantly making challenges within the industry: those that own patents, those that want freedom to operate outside those patents," says Monsanto's director of trait stewardship. Such challenges "are routine more than exceptions. When the challenges were filed, from my perspective, it was one more in a long line."
Rather than thoroughly review potential patents at the outset, Ravicher claims the patent system "has been created to encourage the issuance of patents. The examiners are placed under time limits and have quotas placed on them. They don't have the time or resources to be thorough.
"That's largely because Congress has been lobbied to make the patent office easy to get through. That's the way it's always been."
Patents are properly reviewed from the outset, retorts Baucum. "When (the patents in question) were reviewed, it was a very different world in biotechnology. We know far more now than we did in the 1980s and 1990s when these things were being developed and submitted.
"Things change and people learn things and come up with new and novel questions… It isn't that (patents) aren't reviewed on the front end — they're thoroughly reviewed. (There's) an ongoing conversation between those filing patents and those in the Patent and Trademark Office reviewing and approving them… There may be tweaks here and there to make sure concerns are (alleviated).
"As you go forward and the stakes rise, others become interested and find new and novel ways to challenge (the patents). It's more the norm than not in the biotech business that we need to defend our patent standing … throughout the life of the patent."
Under the rules, Monsanto is entitled to make a response to the Patent and Trademark Office's rejections. After that, there is no set track and a variety of things could happen. One possibility: Monsanto could attempt to negotiate with the patent office to narrow the patent.
"They could say, 'Well, the broad patent may be too much. But we still deserve one on this narrower part.' That's a process we'll monitor," says Ravicher.
The patent office typically expedites cases such as Monsanto's, trying to resolve re-examinations within 18 to 24 months. If the reexamination verdict isn't in Monsanto's favor, the company has the right to sue the patent office in federal court.
If that scenario plays out it could take years to resolve the patents.
While the review process is ongoing Monsanto can still sue farmers under the patents. However, "if they were to do so, the defendant could make a motion to the court to stay the case, or put it on hold, until the re-examination is completed," says Ravicher.
Regardless, the patents' current standing "doesn't remove any requirements or responsibilities of using (Monsanto's) technologies in the field," says Baucum. "The farmer isn't impacted."
Ravicher believes farmers should have the right to save seed. "But Monsanto still has the legal right to sue farmers. Whether they will win those suits is another matter. But if farmers want to avoid being sued by Monsanto, they should probably stay away from doing anything that would (upset) the company."
Few of many
Asked how many seed patents Monsanto holds, Ravicher says it isn't just how many the company holds but how many it's asserting. "They could have some patents that they admit are (weaker) and they won't be suing under them. The patents to worry about are those they'll primarily assert. The four we challenged are the ones they're primarily using to sue farmers."
In the wake of the patent office rejections, Monsanto claims the four rejects are only few of many. "If you look at our technology use guide — and you can download that from our Web sites — there are numerous patents we claim some protection on: certain processes, gene placements and those kinds of things," says Baucum. "To keep the cases simple and moving forward, we choose to use one, or a few, of those patents.
"If you find yourself in a place where you need to assert your intellectual property rights, you need only prove a violation or infringement on one claim within one patent. It's redundant, expensive and burdensome on the entire system to sue on 15 patents. You don't get redundant remedies, you only get one remedy no matter how (egregious) the violation. In order to have judicial economy or efficiency, we pick one or two … patents that may be easier to make a case on…"
As expected, Ravicher is highly skeptical. "When Monsanto says, 'We've got other solid patents' I think that's a bit of a bluff."
Better not call it, says Baucum, pointing to the fact that farmers sign contracts when using Monsanto traits. "Contractual commitments are separate from patents. Even in a worst-case scenario where the patent may not have the power it had before, there's still a contractual commitment…"
Revisiting cases?
Ultimately, if the patents are rejected, will farmers who have settled or lost cases to Monsanto have any redress? Once a case is resolved, revisiting it is "very, very tough," says Ravicher. "There are two different things. There's a final judgment, which the farmer didn't agree to. And there's a settlement — a contract between the farmer and Monsanto."
In most settlements, the settlement isn't revocable and the money paid isn't retractable. Under those agreements, it is unlikely farmers who settled will get anything.
Under final judgments, revisiting a case is also difficult. "You have to try and convince a judge to reopen a case that's been closed."
For pending cases, though, the recent patent rejections may provide sued farmers with an opportunity.
Jerry Young, a paralegal with the Tupelo, Miss.-based Waide and Associates law firm, has worked several cases of farmers sued by Monsanto. One farmer's case has been appealed to the "federal court of appeals three times and the U.S. Supreme Court twice, I believe. Monsanto is trying to execute a judgment against him now.
"We're claiming they should await the outcome of the patent rejection. The (patent rejected in February) is the one that applies here and the Patent and Trademark Office rejected it because it was too obvious. We certainly hope the rejection is upheld. If it is, I believe Monsanto will have to change their practices."
In another case Young has worked, the farmer settled. "In his settlement agreement there's language that if anything changed it could be reopened. Well, something has certainly changed."
Not so, says Baucum. "If you talk to people that spend their lives in the intellectual property realm, they'll say this is nothing new."

'tis the season for recycling news; this research about making biomolecular movies was published in Nature Protocols in June 2012 according to the Jan. 4, 2013 news item on phys.org (Note: Links have been removed),
Toshio Ando and co-workers at Kanazawa University [Japan] have developed and used HS-AFM [high-speed atomic force microscopy] to increase our understanding of several protein systems through microscopic movies of unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. The team have now published a guide to video recording these important cell components, so that other researchers can benefit from this unique technology.
To produce an image, HS-AFM acquires information on sample height at many points by tapping the sample with the sharp tip of a tiny cantilever. Depending on the application, this might involve recording the amplitude and phase of oscillations, or the resonant frequency of the cantilever.
Ando and co-workers use very small cantilevers that afford 10 to 20 times the sensitivity of larger, conventional cantilevers. Copies of their home-made apparatus are now commercially available through the manufacturer Research Institute of Biomolecule Metrology Co., Ltd. (RIBM) in Tsukuba, and record images at least ten times more quickly than their competitors.
There are more details in the news item or for those who want to read the guide, here's a citation and a link,
Guide to video recording of structure dynamics and dynamic processes of proteins by high-speed atomic force microscopy by Takayuki Uchihashi, Noriyuki Kodera, & Toshio Ando in Nature Protocols 7 (6), 1193–1206 (2012) doi:10.1038/nprot.2012.047
This article is behind a paywall.
Lastly, should anyone wish to purchase the apparatus developed at Kanazawa University from the Research Institute of Biomolecule Metrology Co., Ltd., here's more about it from the company's home page,
Dynamic Visualization of nano-scale world
HS-AFM*1.0 – Ando model – is the High-Speed Atomic Force Microscope which was developed based on the research achievements accomplished by Prof. Ando in Kanazawa University. This is the world's first instrument that broke through the weak point of conventional AFM "low-speed", and realized the video rate scan. The high-speed scan enables us to capture swinging molecules in solution clearly without blurring. Consequently, the strong anchoring of a sample to the substrate is unnecessary and a dynamic observation is achieved without losing the activities of soft biomolecules.

Carolyn Munro still shudders at the memory. A wife's tightly crossed arms and accusatory stare, while the husband in a million-dollar home in the Glebe showed off his renovation of the couple's ensuite bathroom.
"It was a disaster," says the veteran designer and owner of Carolyn Munro Design. The amateur handyman had found a deal on a corner, glass shower stall, modern grey tiles for the walls and old-fashioned Mexican tiles for the floor. "Nothing matched. The floors were cold, and tiling in the shower stopped an inch short of the glass doors. "He could have saved money and time if he had talked first to experts, spending a few hundred dollars for advice, instead of several thousand dollars on a renovation that will have to be done again."
Now, the Mexican floor is being torn up, heating cables have been ordered and the hunt is on for agreeable tiles, says Munro, who was also hired to oversee their kitchen makeover. "He wanted to save the kitchen cabinets from the '60s, but they will do better service in the basement for storage," says the designer, who regularly sees design blunders by well-meaning homeowners.
Irene Langlois managed to step in and avoid a design blunder when clients called to ask for advice on how to make more room in their small home to better handle their young family.
"They wanted to finish the basement, easily spending $70,000 digging down to increase the height of ceilings," says the interior designer, who recently gutted and renovated her own Glebe home. "We talked, and they soon saw that it wasn't a wise decision because their young children would be out of sight.
"Instead, I came up with a plan to take down some walls on the main level and open up the space. The right time to finish the basement is later on when the kids are teenagers and you want them out of sight."
One of the biggest design blunders is rushing into a basement renovation on the cheap, not understanding that it is one big job, says Norm Lecuyer, owner of Just Basements.
"It is absolutely the most economical way to do an addition to your home, but it deserves good, quality construction so it will be an equal partner with the rest of your house." Lecuyer is waiting to hear if he has won national honours from the Canadian Home Builders' Association for a basement renovation that is all about soft lighting, open spaces, high-end electronics and soft leather seating. "It is a much bigger project than most people think."
He warns that finishing a basement is not for weekend warriors learning wiring, plumbing and dry-walling on the job. "There are jobs where you should hire professionals." He estimates it costs $75 to $80 a square foot to make over a basement, compared with about $250 a square foot for a main-floor addition.
When it comes to kitchen planning, it's best to learn when to say no to an overly large island, says Kimberly Silcox, a designer at Laurysen Kitchens. Large islands are popular, but you need enough space to manoeuvre between counters. There should be at least 36 inches between an island and side counter, otherwise dishwashers, fridges and stoves may not be able to easily open.
There are also smaller, more cosmetic design blunders that shriek "amateur at work", according to an informal poll of designers:
Get a game plan: Often people have no real concept of what they are doing and they believe every piece they buy will go together in one room, says interior designer Luc Crawford of Luc Crawford Design. "There is a way to put an eclectic look together." If you collect rocks, put them together on a table, he says. Don't scatter them around; it looks cluttered. A successful eclectic look requires a connecting thread, a common colour, shape or texture.
Too much brown: The eye needs stimulation and contrast, says Yvonne Potter, a designer, furniture maker and partner with the CKY Design Group. "It's all about light hitting the retina and creating interest."
She tells of having an "aha" moment in a third-year psychology course when the professor explained how German forces tortured prisoners by keeping them in a grey cell. "It drove them insane, partly because they had no visual stimulation." A peacetime variation would be to have too much wood of one colour or too much brown in a room. "It's deadly boring," says Potter, who blogs at ckydesigngroup.ca. Introduce complementary colours to stimulate the eye and senses.
Away from the wall: It's ugly and dangerous to your health to line up furniture in a straight line, says Potter. "You get a crick in your neck, having to turn to talk to friends." It's much better to pull furniture away from the wall and create L-shaped seating areas, where people can see and talk to each other.
All about scale: Don't go cramming big sofas next to teeny, tiny chairs, says Crawford. The pieces have to complement each other. A blunder variation is cramming oversized furniture pieces into small spaces, warns veteran designer Michael Courdin. Or conversely, teeny tiny chairs into a large room and expect they will have enough character to anchor a space.
Just get rid of it: There comes a time when a room is too cluttered, says Munro. "You don't have to keep a piece just because your mother gave it to you. Give it away, move on," she says. This is called edit, edit and then edit some more, adds Crawford. "You want spaces to feel open and airy, and you can't if there is too much stuff."
Hem please: The days of heavy drapes puddling 24 inches onto the floor are long gone, says Courdin. Call up the seamstress and get rid of the extra fabric.

Montage series celebrates Loyola's centennial with a weekend of free band, choral concerts
Loyola press release - March 16, 2012
In celebration of Loyola's centennial, the Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series presents three free band and choral concerts on Saturday, April 14 and Sunday, April 15.
On Saturday at 3 p.m., the Loyola Concert Band will perform in Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, featuring six special guest conductors, including Col. John R. Bourgeois '90, H'05, in the debut of "Ignatian Fanfare," written exclusively for the centennial by Bourgeois. The fanfare is based on a motive from the Jesuit motto, "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam," (to the greater glory of God).
Loyola University New Orleans Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Edward J. Kvet, D.M.E., will also serve as a special guest conductor. Kvet, who accepted the position of provost in 2008, served as the dean of the College of Music and Fine Arts for 10 years. He began working at Loyola in 1982 and will retire as provost at the end of the 2011-12 academic year.
The concert will also feature a suite from the ballet, "The Statue," by Charles Fernandez '83, an Emmy and Annie award nominee whose concert and chamber works have been featured in such diverse places as Germany, Los Angeles, Sweden and England, and whose music has played a prominent role in multiple films and television series.

My only setback right now is that I have already used around 10 terabytes of memory to mods, music, and the likes. That doesn't hold me back though. I am willing to test any of your games. Just send me a PM. Also I am thinking about starting a video podcast that is about like the best mod of the week, video game tips, etc. Well hope that I can help you in any way possible.

Post your buying experience here!
mryy Posts: 11today i got a quote from my local VW dealer.
New 2004 Bettle GL 2.0L auto $16,800 + TTL. VW is having $1000 cask back now. so $16,800-$1000 = $15,800.
is it good?
themanx Posts: 110Yes.. My daughters 04 GL Metallic Grey with the Auto 4 speed, had a sticker of $17780 and best we could do was $17400. But they did work with us on the trade and bumped that up a little.
She loves the car.. no problems to report either.0
becks Posts: 3Hi:
A dealer in the Palm Beach, Florida area, is offering me this lease:
Price: $27,750
(Includes Leather, 17 alloy wheels and wind blocker)
Zero down plus they'll cover tag, license and first monthly payment
$375 plus tax for 48 months
15,000 miles per year
What do you think?
beetlehusband Posts: 1My wife leases a Beetle that she loves. Now my daughter wants one. VW is offering "free" insurance with purchase of Beetle or Golf. Has anyone had any experience with this? Did you try to get a lower price for the car if you did not want the insurance? Is it really no hassle or does a Nationwide agent get your name & want to get your other cars, sell you other types of insurance, etc? Thanks for these or anything else you can tell me.0
What state do you live in? I think the free insurance is only offered in 2 northern/mid western states.0
Your price seems
unreasonableyvery high for a 5 1/2 year old car.
What trim level is your Beetle and what options does it have ?0
Hi All,
I'm looking around for 2005 New Beetle GLS (Auto + ESP Options). After spending couple of weeks on internet research on pricing, the best offer I got so far is $19500 + Taxes, DMV fees. Is it a good price ?
Considering that the invoice for the 2005 New Beetle GLS (Auto + ESP Options) is only $5 less than your offer, I would say yes that is a very good price.
My only comment is that VW took away the incentives that were available last month. Just maybe, they'll have some low interest loans or dealer cash or even a rebate if you can hold on for a month or two.
Was your price contingent on you financing at a higher rate than a bank would provide. Were they going to lowball your trade ? If that's the case then your price wasn't that great.0
Hi jasmith52,
Thanks for quite useful reply. They are offering me 2.9% APR. I think, I should wait for couple of months as VW is going to inroduce new beetle (Ragster) pretty soon. It may bring down prices for old bettles.
Found a leftover 2004 gls w/13 miles at a VW dealer. He gave me a price of $18361. I didn't say yes. It's a 2.0 liter model (115 hp with auto) with black leather/sunroof. I don't know much about these cars. Going to do some searches online now. Anyone have an opinion/advice on how to proceed? Are the 2006's much more advanced?
Thanks for any feedback.
Hi there,
Its a very good price. I got an offer of $19,000 for 2005 GLS Auto but no leather interior. I don't know what are the differences between 2004 & 2005 beetles but looks like you got a deal. As far as 2006 beetles concerned, shape will be changed outside with little flat touches on sides and roof. Interior will be same. The most important thing for me is I didn't like looks of 2006 beetle. I think 2005 or older beetles looks better. All the best.0
Thanks for the note. I'm hesitant to buy the car - just read some of the beet problems forum. Will come back and give details if I do.
Thanks again for responding.0
srikk Posts: 3Just bought a new 2006 beetle. Paid MSRP. $18800. San Jose California.0
ctruss02 Posts: 1Would you let me know what strategies you used...I get the same BS about VW never flounders on the displayed price.....HELP0
edmundsmember Posts: 2Oh, please let me know too as I am going around shopping for a 2006 new beetle. What model is that you just bought? Is that a 6-speed automatic, with or without pkg1?
Also, one car dealer that i got a quote for 2006 new beetle 6-speed automatic with pkg1 for $21600 out the door, but I have one concern. He says the car will have more than 50 miles on it because he will have to get it from another dealer and that will be driven from that dealership about 50 miles away. Should I back off from making a deal or be concerned about the vehicle or his offer? I thought a brand new car wouyld not have any miles or may be 4 to 5 miles at the most on it. :confuse: Please advise.
Thanks in advance

geckoo6 Posts: 1We bought a 06 new beetle and have had one thing after another go wrong. First, the inside panel of the trunk was rattling. They said that the clips were broken and had to be replaced. That was at the beginning of Nov. and still have not heard back b/c the parts were not delivered. Then the passenger's side window was misaligned and you could hear the wind hitting as we drove. The emergency break cover came loose almost preventing us from taking the break down. Finally, the automatic trunk opener is not working. So this has turned us into very upset first time new beetle owners. Has anyone else had this experience? :lemon:0
I am selling my 2001 New Beetle. It is the limited "Turbo Sport" edition. It is in very good condition except for a few scrapes and rubs that nobody really notices but me. It has high mileage (74,000) but all on highway. I was wondering what price you think I could get for it. It still has the remainder of the 5 year/100,000 aftermarket warrenty (over in August). FULLY loaded with everything I could add to it. Thanks.0
YES, yes, yes and yes! I've done a lot of looking and it seems that there are more lemons in the VW family than anything else. Advice: Have your dealer on speed dial and find a quick way to his place.. because that is where you will live as long as you own your car.
PS - on a good note, the car handles VERY well (esp in the snow), is VERY safe and adorable looking. :shades:0
wantabeetle Posts: 8I bought my 06 bug convertible in Memphis, TN. It's Platinum gray/black top/gray int, package 2 and a CD changer. Paid about $900 below MSRP. I love it so far! :P0
You should not be worried that the NB will have 50 miles on it. Both, my previous Jetta and my current Passat, were driven in excess of 50 miles to my purchasing dealer. You may not realize this but if you were to buy a Demo with 8000 miles on it it would still be considered a "new" vehicle. A vehicle that has never been titled is considered new, regardless of miles.0
mwever Posts: 1Have you bought yet? I have a 2006 Pkg 2 with rubber mats and XM satellite radio. It is Salsa red. I researched throught Florida all by e-mail requests and received a deal for $21,500 with all the above included. I had done my research thru Edmunds and asked for the best price over cost with the options that i wanted.I bought at VW of Ft. Myers. Now 3000 miles later I am happy,happy, happy. :shades:0
pups Posts: 2Have been seriously looking for a 06 Beetle auto diesel and have gotten similar price quotes throughout the Tampa Bay area. No dealer seems to want to negotiate the price. It is the full MSRP plus. I can only find two beetles in my area. Have ?? regarding the fuel re: can these diesel engines take the new biodiesel fuel? If they can where does one purchase the new fuel in Pinellas County, Fl; and how much does the fuel cost per gal. Don't know if it is really worth the cost(to buy beetle) if I don't see major miles per gal. Have read that the Beetles have major maintenance cost associated with repair to engines. Any feed back. Also the cost quoted to me, not out the door have been over 22,200, w//o pkg 2. Would like to know what others are paying for 06 coupe, with pkg 2, automatic, diesel engine, color red or blue, moonroof a must. Speedy replies welcome. Want to purchase soon. Don't want the dealers to think I am jerking them around as I am a serious buyer.0
cavebikers Posts: 3Do VW's have more problems? Probably, but I have had a Beetle tdi for 7 years and am now trading for a new one. The diesel engines are very reliable, but the intake may clog with sludge due to EGR and particulates. I had to spend $500 at about 50,000 miles to have mine cleaned out. Other problems were less major and due to normal VW quality control issues. If you want the best in reliability, don't buy a VW. Fuel milage has been steadily 40-50 mpg. BTW, I still like my Beetle.
Price, well, I found a dealer willing to sell at $500 over invoice, but they could not lay their hands on a Salsa. I could have ordered one, but then there is the issue as to what the old one will sell for in 3 months. No problem for silver or gecko immediately. Moonroofs are included in both package 1 or 2. I finally got my Salsa elsewhere, but cost about $200 more. They knew that Salsa was harder to find.0
I am in the process of purchasing from a private party a 2001 2.0L Beattle fully loaded 5 speed,Pearl Blue with gray leather inside.The miles are 93,000.
I checked the Carfax report and it basically stated it was a 1 owner car.The second owner has only had it for 9 months.The Carfax stated it has been regularly serviced at a VW dealership at its required service intervals,But is missing the 80K service.He wants $7,500.00 for it.I cannot afford a new one.Does this seem like a good deal?
What is the life expectancy of this vehicle if it is well maintained?
I was also told if I do purchase this VW to run to the nearest dealer and have the timming belt replaced.0
The price seems about right if not just a bit high.
However, I must caution you... Don't expect your VW to be as reliable as a Japanese car. You will probably have to spend some money to keep it running.
If you are on a strict budget where a repair bill will really set you back...then this can is NOT a good choice for you.0
2006beetle Posts: 1I went to a dealer yesterday for getting a 2006 new beetle ,2.5 hatchback, with package 1, and satellite radio. The deal I finally got is $19150 as sale price ( tax or other fee are not included.) Does that sound like a good deal?0
p100 Posts: 1,116Can you say "money pit" really loud? A VW Beetle with 93K miles, no matter how well maintained, is a ticking time bomb. You will probably sink another $ 7500 into it in the next few years just to keep it running. These cars are expensive to maintain and generally not reliable with mileage that high.
If you look around, you may be able to find a compact Japanese or Korean car for $ 7500 with much lower mileage with much better long term ownership prognosis. In fact, add another $2k or so and you may be able to buy a brand new Hyundai. A lot smarter move than this Beetle. Hyundais have proven to be far more reliable cars than VWs in the last few years.0
Yes you don't need to wave a crystal ball on this one.I've only had the Beetle for less than 2 months and paid a mechanic
to get the timming belt and water pump replaced,
plus had a reconditioned Catalytic Converter installed as well from a frame and axle shop instead of the VW Dealer, because the VW Dealer was going to charge me $1,100.00 to have a new CAT. installed.
My wife just loves the bug or I should say the New Beetle From Hell.I have only had this Beetle for 2 months I paid cash for the piece of junk.I got the car title just a few days ago showing me as the legal owner.No wonder the previous owner was so anxious to sell this garbage.He probably had all kinds of codes showing up on this Beetle and just had them all cleared out prior to me test driving this bomb.But on the positive side it is running much ,much better since the CAT. was replaced.AND YES I still love the New Beetle.I notice some companies still will do a 24 month 24K warranty on this car covering all mechanical expenses.I may need to take them up on the offer if this continues,or bail out while I still can without puttin another 7.5K into it.0
I seem to be replying to my own message.I may have gotten a somewhat good deal on this Bettle from Hell.Upon further investigation shortly after I purchased the Beetle I had made an inquiry from the dealer and unknown to me,I assumed the Beetle was a 2.0 L GLS that is what it was advertised for,but when I popped the hood it stated
20 valve Turbo.This Beetle is a 20 Valve 1.8 Turbo Beetle
GLX fully loaded.Yes this baby gets up and fly's and I only give it 92 Octane Juice from now on.
Let me roll my dice a few more months with this Beetle and see where it takes me.0
randi Posts: 10...here's a story of how much I will end up paying for my 2001 GLS Beetle. Silver exterior, black cloth interior, manual, power windows, tape deck (no CD), cruise control, heated seats, moon roof (or is it sunroof, I don't really know the difference). I got my financing from VW Credit (which I DO NOT RECOMMEND) at a 14.5% APR. They sold me the car for $19,829. I have 8 payments left. The car will eventually have cost me $30,866. So there, I think any of you getting this car for under $19k with a 2.9% APR is so lucky, I just want to spit. :P0

SPX December 9 Weekly Iron Condor:
Below is the SPX chart showing the short strikes:
SPX 6 month chart
Trade Management:
The guidelines call for the position to remain open until target gain is reached, as long as SPX stays between the short strikes. They also call for exiting at the pre-set max loss, or if SPX reaches either short strike. It is recommended to have "good to cancel" order in for both target gain and max loss. The setup of conditional orders can vary by broker, so please check with your broker if you are unfamiliar with conditional orders on your trading platform.
Having said that, it is an individual's own decision whether to wait for target gain, or max loss, on any position. Trading is a blend of individual style, risk tolerance, and intuition. This combination can help reach your annual trade plan results. I recommend following your own trade style; there is nothing wrong with exiting a position early. Remember with weekly trades, there are up to 52 opportunities in a year to trade so it is important to be comfortable with your trade size and position. Remember, trading is an art, not a science.
Trade updates will be posted as appropriate.
As always, stay keen on your risk management and trade carefully,
Dot Hazlin

Or, perhaps more appropriately, what are you binging on this year? It's the holidays, let's all cut loose! I ordered a bunch of organic, vegan, fair-trade candy online but because it's so freaking expensive, I could only get like five lollipops and a candy bar. Those are gone already, I think a ghost got them. Anyway, I might order more because yay candy that isn't awful for the Earth/our stomachs/people, or I might just supplement with some Smarties and Nerds. I've got a very delicious decision to make!
Also, what's your favorite Halloween candy memory*? Mine is having my mom eat all my Milky Way miniatures, because she said she had to check them for poison. I bought that lie until like the 4th grade — what a sucker!
*sorry, I really love Halloween candy, I'm the only person who doesn't get annoyed when Walgreens puts the good stuff out in July.

Edward Tuckerman Potter was born on September 25, 1831 in Schenectady, New York, the son of Bishop Alonzo Potter. He began his college education in Philadelphia and, in 1851, transferred to Union College in Schenectady, where his father taught as a professor. After his graduation in 1853, he studied architecture under Richard Upjohn, one of the foremost church architects in the United States at the time. He worked for Upjohn from 1854 to 1856, when he opened his own practice in Schenectady.
An ecclesiastical specialist, Potter designed churches, particularly Episcopalian churches, in New York, New England, Florida, and other regions of the country. Among his important churches were the First Dutch Reformed Church in Schenectady, the Harvard Street Congregational Church in Boston, the Church of the Good Shepherd in Hartford, and St. John's Church in Yonkers, New York. Other well-known projects include the Union College's Nott Memorial (Graduates' Hall) in Schenectady, the Colt Parish House in Hartford, and Mark Twain's residence in Hartford. Potter retired in 1877, but resumed work in order to design the Colt Parish House.
In the early 1870s, Potter designed St. John's Episcopal Church in Jacksonville, Florida. This church was dedicated in 1877 and later burned in Jacksonville's Great Fire of 1901. In 1902 the Vestry of St. John's approved the design drawings for a new church building submitted by the firm Snelling and Potter. The cornerstone for the present Gothic Revival church, St. John's Cathedral, was laid in 1903 and the church was completed in 1906.
Potter died on October 24, 1904.

City commissioners decided joining the lawsuit would likely be fruitless because the issue of sequestration was one of political gamesmanship that is out of the city's control.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — City leaders decided Tuesday night not to join a lawsuit that's planned against the Federal Aviation Administration seeking a stay of the agency's decision to close 149 airport traffic control towers across the country.
The control towers at New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport and Ormond Beach Municipal Airport are among those slated to close April 7, casualties of $600 million in planned cuts to the FAA's budget. The budget reductions are part of $85 billion in across-the-board cuts to the federal government known as sequestration.
News reports were circulating Tuesday that the Florida cities of Naples and Punta Gorda were among the communities across the country planning to be part of a lawsuit against the FAA to keep the control towers at their airports open.
City Attorney Frank Gummey said it would cost New Smyrna Beach anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 to join the lawsuit.
City commissioners, however, decided joining the lawsuit would likely be fruitless because the issue of sequestration was one of political gamesmanship that is out of the city's control.
"I don't think this suit's going to work, frankly," Commissioner Judy Reiker said. "I think it's all politics and if we could find a way to politic ourselves out of this one then that would be it, but if we can't then I think we're sunk."
Mayor Adam Barringer took a hopeful tone and said he believes there could be a reprieve by Congress before the towers are shuttered.
"I don't know if the lawsuit is going to accomplish what we need to accomplish," he said. "I think that the government is going to get this figured out beforehand, before it closes."
Gummey said even if federal funding is eventually restored to reopen the control towers across the U.S., New Smyrna Beach would have to apply to have its tower reopened.
Rhonda Walker, manager of the New Smyrna Beach airport, said reopening the tower wouldn't be as simple as "flipping a switch." The equipment would be recertified and the controllers re-established.
Barringer said he was among local municipal leaders who traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Ponte Vedra Beach, and both were sympathetic with the communities losing their towers.
Barringer read into the record a letter from DeSantis to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta asking that Huerta provide to Congress a "detailed explanation" of the process the agency used in deciding how to make the cuts and what alternatives were passed over.
The closing of New Smyrna's tower would result in the layoffs of eight controllers who make between $28-$32 an hour.

A quick scan of the book shelf of Robert Marsh, Ph.D., associate professor and associate head of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and chairman of the Undergraduate Education Committee in biology, reveals titles such as Recombinant DNA, Protein Sequence Analysis and Cross Linking for Better Results.
This kind of information taken out of context could make Marsh appear to be the kind of scientist with plans to change the world by merging DNA to create, ultimately, an improved product, a super race.
Now breathe a collective sigh of relief. For those of you who might not be ready to bring in the clones – or any other mutant animals – Marsh directs his genetic manipulations on plants.
"Most people in biology have their interests in animals and from the molecular standpoint, that's where my research interests lie as well. But I think that plants always attracted me a little more. Maybe it's because you can put them in one place and they'll stay there," Marsh said dryly. "I wouldn't be happy without some work with plants to augment the molecular research with an animal-relevant system."
Sitting in his office, one sees – perhaps after the bookshelf – two large window frames – each roughly 4-feet-by-8-feet – filled halfway to the ceiling with glass jars capped with aluminum foil that show glimpses of green growth inside.
"I have my windows here. They cycle annually between nearly empty and full of mason jars, in which I have orchid seedlings. What you see there is the result of about a 20-year breeding program. It represents an attempt to produce commercially viable cut flower and potted plants using a genus from Mexico that has not had much work done on it in the past, but offers lots of potential," Marsh said.
"There are about 15 species of the genus, called Barkeria. It is related to the big, showy Cattleya orchids that used to be the big corsage orchids years ago," he said.
If at first you don't succeed...
Marsh is something of an expert on orchids. His research has led him to believe that some pretty good money will be made someday if these Mexican orchids can be developed and commercialized.
"The first 10 years of hybridization produced some pretty good results, but it came to a sterile dead-end. The offspring were female fertile but male sterile, and you can't get very far that way," he said laughingly.
"So, I had to go back to the drawing board, pick up new parents and repeat the breeding with alternate species."
"I didn't ever want to make crosses where I didn't have the very best parents," he continued. "Fortunately, I was able to put my hands on really good stock and that has formed the nucleus for the breeding.
"Now in the past few years there have been several awards to the crosses and the progeny of the crosses, both to me and to other growers. They've been tried and grown successfully in California, so we have some commercial experience in growing as well as hobbyist experience. I would say that is one of the things that I'm happiest about, in terms of the results. And it represents classic biology."
While Marsh's quest to build the perfect orchid comes with an economic incentive, it's largely a side venture compared with all he does for the university.
"My main research in the laboratory has dealt with understanding how the nuclear structure is put together inside cells," Marsh explained.
"We used to think that there is an underlying matrix of proteins to which the chromosomes are attached for gene expression, for regulation, for organization, replication, and so forth," Marsh said. "And that's been a hard thing to get a handle on and prove, 'Here are the matrix proteins and this is what they form and this is how they interact with the chromosomes.'
"It's been a controversial area, and the dust really hasn't fully settled. But it seems that there are connecting, underlying elements in the nucleus," Marsh revealed. "Maybe not as pervasive within the nuclei as to form a fibrous network, but the DNA is constrained in loops with protein paper clips holding the strands of DNA to allow for regulation, expression, etc.
"In studying that, we have actually gone off on a tangent that has become our main object of study in the last five years. And that was the discovery of the enzyme transglutaminase -- in the model organism that we are using, the slime mold Physarum.
"Transglutaminase," Marsh continued, "has the function of linking two separate proteins together through a covalent bond. A specific type of covalent bond called an isopeptide bond.
"This is something that occurs when blood clots, to stabilize the clot. It occurs in your organs, in the extracellular matrix that the cells are embedded in to help give your organs their shape and structural stability. It's one of the factors that link the molecules of your hair together to give it form and texture.
"It would be analogous to glue, in fact, the bonds this enzyme makes," he said.
Mapping out courses of action
In addition to his research, Marsh enjoys shaping policy when it comes to the biology curricula in his role as chairman of the Undergraduate Education Committee.
"Two of my major roles are interacting with undergraduate advisors and crafting and moving undergraduate majors' programs along within the department," Marsh said.
"In 2001 we added a major in molecular biology, and, this year, developed two streamlined double majors pairing molecular biology with business administration or crime and justice studies. Theses possibilities mirror double majors with biology that were developed earlier.
"The department also has a fast track to the D.O. degree in conjunction with the School of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth. We are always on the lookout for ways to better serve our undergraduates," Marsh said.

New technology discussion
Nice to meet all of you! I've enjoyed learning from your posts and finally joined! I AM AlwaysAsking? Someone knows the answers- it's just not ever me! So I'm researching plastic and metal container/bottle manufacturers- I have a few questions for you experts- your thoughts about a new technology. Anyone willing to have a 15-20 minute conversation with me? Just talk about your experience with manufacturing, any pain points/limitations now, why/how you choose the manufacture method- those types of things. I just listen and take notes! Most of you will find the topic interesting.
Please email me if you are interested.
PS- Please, Please and Thank you!

The Moab Rotary Club has donated $1,000 to a crime reduction program in Colombia as part of Rotary International's challenge to its clubs around the world to help make peace happen.
Britta Kingsley, the wife of Moab Rotary committee chairman Joe Kingsley, presented the check to Colombian National Police officials in January during a police officer graduation ceremony in Cartagena, Colombia. Joe Kingsley said this week that his wife asked everyone in the audience to contribute and $22,000 was raised in three hours.
Peace is this year's Rotary International theme. Moab Rotarians also are challenging other chapters through Rotary International to make gifts to the program, which purchases booklets titled "The Way to Happiness." The booklet was written by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology, and distributed through The Way to Happiness Foundation, which describes the booklet at "not part of any religious doctrine."
The tract, subtitled "A Common Sense Guide to Better Living," provides information about how people can deal in a positive way with dysfunctional situations, Joe Kingsley said. It emphasizes the importance of such things as tolerance, truthfulness, fulfilling one's obligations, being trustworthy and setting a good example.
Joe Kingsley said in a news release that after distributing the booklet to 20 percent of the Colombian population, that nation's police force reported a 50 percent drop in crime 18 months later. Crime in Cartagena is the lowest it has been in 22 years, making it one of the safest cities in South America, according to the news release.
The Moab Rotary Club's part in distributing copies of "The Way to Happiness" has happened under the direction of the club's president, Tara Richardson, who likened the booklet's philosophy to the Golden Rule.
"Sometimes when you have a negative and can put in a positive, it changes the current," she said. "When I scanned through the book and knew we needed a peace project, this kind of fit in."
The program based on "The Way to Happiness" is expanding to five other South American countries and Mexico, Joe Kingsley said. Its philosophy seeks to turn people away from a life of crime by offering forgiveness to those who "come clean," he said.
"We would like [Rotary] clubs across the country to match our donation to a program that works, rather than reinventing the wheel," Joe Kingsley said. "When you commit violence, you are hurting yourself and your community."
Efforts are being made to include the Moab Rotary emblem on the back cover of future copies of "The Way to Happiness" that are distributed in Colombia, Joe Kingsley said.
He added that Boston Police Department has seen a big reduction in street crime since distribution of a similar book titled "Don't Shoot – One Man, a Street Fellowship, and the End of Violence in Inner-city America," which was written by professor David M. Kennedy of John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

GREENSBORO � The Wyndham Championship went from near extinction to a thriving venture, according to panelists at Tuesday morning�s The Business Journal forum.
�Structurally, our tournament is in fantastic shape,� tournament director Mark Brazil said.
Gone are the days, Brazil said, when there was constant arm twisting to encourage the business community to join forces and become part of the PGA Tour event, which is set to begin in less than a month at Sedgefield Country Club.
�Now we see our sponsors come to us because of the value we give them,� Brazil said.
Much of that comes in coordination with the venue. John McConnell, who�s president and owner of McConnell Golf and Sedgefield Country Club, said his organization has pumped nearly $6 million into the facility.
�As he improves Sedgefield, the Wyndham Championship improves,� Brazil said.
The tournament is a $12.5 million operation. It went from a philanthropic endeavor to a major business. That was out of necessity, said former professional golfer John Maginnes.
�You�ve either made the transition or you don�t have a golf tournament anymore,� said Maginnes, now a radio golf analyst who lives in Greensboro.
Organizers have pushed hard in recent years to re-establish the Greensboro stop on the PGA Tour as a regional event. So it�s promoted as a week that benefits and promotes the Piedmont Triad, stretching from Burlington to Winston-Salem.
A greens renovation project before last year�s tournament created another buzz among golfers on behalf of the event.
�It was one of the most-talked about tournaments,� Maginnes said.
Even with a date in August that comes after the PGA Championship and before the FedEx Cup playoffs, the Wyndham Championship is starting to become a must-do event, Brazil said.
�The golf course kind of balances that out,� Maginnes said of the timing on the schedule that creates a hurdle in luring some of the elite golfers.
This year, the actual PGA Tour season ends with the Greensboro tournament, not merely the final stop for FedEx Cup points. Brazil said that should lure 10 to 15 prominent golfers who might previously have skipped the tournament.
Going into next month�s tournament, Brazil said there�s lots of reasons for optimism.
�We�re in a better position now than in (any of) my 12 years,� he said.
On Tuesday, the tournament introduced a Margaritaville set-up that will be located between the first hole and the clubhouse on a large covered deck. It will be open for the duration for the tournament, featuring live music Tuesday through Sunday afternoons (Aug. 13-18) after play has cleared the first hole.
The renaissance of the tournament during the past decade ago might have been best expressed by Maginnes.
�They were desperate enough to put me in the field,� he said.

Page Chronica is a game about the adventure of a female heroine named Topez. As a librarian in the Library of Dreams, she accidentally released the Lord of Nightmares from his prison. The Lord of Nightmare then went on to corrupt the dreams turning them foul. Players will play as Topez as she uses her power of words to cleanse the dreams of this corruption.
Page Chronica is not your average side-scrolling action platformer. You will need to slow time to capture letters and form meaningful words in order to give Topez power to cast spells. The stronger the words formed, the more powerful the spells that Topez cast will be. In addition, she will be able to gain useful passive abilities such as regeneration and increased movement speed based upon the length of the words formed.
The game contains eighteen stages and twenty four challenges distributed over four stories. Each story ends with an action packed boss fight where you will have to fight a multi-stage enemy creature. The first three stories are inspired by popular Fairy Tales namely, Piped Piper, Jack and The Bean Stalk, and Hansel and Gratel. The last story takes place in the Infinite Library of Dreams where the Lord of Nightmare makes a final attempt to take over all dreams.

Reaching a world of learners just got easier. Andrews University recently received accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission of North Central Accreditation for two online graduate programs. The Department of Nursing and the Department of Leadership and Educational Administration Department received approval to offer several innovative degrees fully online.
At its meeting on April 28, 2008, the Institutional Actions Council voted to extend accreditation to include distance delivery of the Master of Arts (MA), Educational Specialist (EdS), Doctor of Education (EdD) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in Educational Administration, and the Master of Science in Nursing (MS) with a Nursing Emphasis. The Commission Board of Trustees validated that action. Degrees in K-12 Educational Administration and Higher Education Administration—both at the MA and PhD levels—will be available completely online.
"We are excited about Higher Learning Commission's acceptance of our application. This gives us more tools to serve Adventist school leaders worldwide. For years leaders have wanted to stay at their place of employment and learn online," said Duane Covrig, professor of leadership in educational administration. "This allows that. They don't have to come to campus or take their whole summer away from the family or schools to improve their leadership ability. They can learn online and integrate what they learn from class with what they do at work. Plus, they will be connected to a network of mentors."
"This is an exciting opportunity for our department," says Karen Allen, chair of the Department of Nursing and director of graduate programs. "We will now be able to provide a graduate degree in nursing education across the country and nationally if they have access to the Internet. For many nurses who work different shifts and can't go back to school and sit in a classroom, they are able to continue their education and get their master's degree online. It moves our department out to the cutting edge which is where education is at right now: online degrees in education."
However, those who are interested in still having face-to-face experiences will still have that option. The Department of Leadership and Education Administration will offer certificate, MA, EdS, EdD and PhD programs on campus as well. "This gives our school leaders more options," said Covrig. "It allows us to meet the needs of more individuals. That is what Andrews University is here for."
"More and more grad students are looking for ways to get graduate degrees without leaving home and leaving their families," said Shirley Freed, chair of Leadership and Educational Administration. "We are confident that this new program will help fill that need."

BRISTOL, Tenn. – After opening its season with a loss to Conference Carolinas foe Limestone College, the King University men's volleyball team rebounded to take a 3-1 win over Coker College and begin the season with a 1-1 record at the 2014 King University Invitational.
The match against Coker was tight through the first two sets, with both teams taking 3-1 decisions to tie the match. But the Tornado dominated the final two sets, winning 25-15 and 25-16 to take the victory.
Coker (0-1) led 20-16 in the first set and appeared headed for the victory as the Tornado took a timeout. Eddie Moushikhian started the Tornado rally with a kill, then Matthew Lychock combined with Nick Serowski and Jeff Bosslet for momentum-shifting blocks on back-to-back plays to bring the Tornado within one and force a Cobra timeout. As play resumed, Lychock and Bosslet again combined for a block, and Serowski slammed a kill to give King a 21-20 lead.
Moments later, trailing 23-22, the Tornado front row would strike again. Kills by Mason Casner and Moushikhian brought the Tornado to a set point, then Casner and Kiel Bell combined for another block to win the set. In all, the Tornado totaled 14.0 blocks in the match, led by Lychock's nine total blocks that included a solo stuff, and finished the set on a 9-3 run.
After a hard-fought second set that saw the Tornado rally from a 14-7 deficit to a 16-16 tie before falling 25-23, King dominated the final two sets to earn its first win of the season. The Tornado hit .481 in the third set and .330 for the match, led by Serowski's 18 kills and .378 attack percentage. Casner hit .583 on 12 attempts, while Moushikhian hit .300 with 11 kills on 20 attempts. Jeff Bosslet added 39 assists, while Bell and Jeremy Funk each had eight digs. The Cobras were limited to a .054 hitting percentage and totaled just four team blocks.
In the day's earlier match, King fell 3-1 to Limestone (1-1, 1-0 Conference Carolinas) in the conference opener for both teams. The match was close throughout and included 24 ties and nine lead changes. In the opening set, King led 12-11 before Limestone embarked on a 5-0 run to take the lead. The Tornado four times closed the lead to a single point, but gave up three straight points to the Saints to drop the set. In the second, King jumped out to a 6-0 lead and led by as many as nine points before cruising to a 25-18 win to even the match. The Tornado hit .481 in the set, with 15 kills on 27 attempts, while limiting Limestone to just .129.
King led 20-19 in the third set before the Saints closed on a 6-2 run. Limestone again broke open a tight set in the fourth, turning a 12-all tie into a 16-12 advantage midway through the set to take control, and would not allow the Tornado to pull within three the rest of the match.
Moushikhian hit .565 for the match, complimenting Serowski's 18 kills with 15 of his own. Matthew DeLong had 42 assists, while six Tornado registered at least one block. For the season, the Tornado carry a hitting percentage of .297, paced by Moushikhian whose hitting percentage stands at .444. Serowski leads with 36 kills, and DeLong and Bosslet have registered 43 and 42 assists, respectively. As a team, the Tornado are averaging 2.81 blocks per set.
King's record now sits at 1-1 on the season and 0-1 in Conference Carolinas play. The Tornado will face Belmont Abbey in a clash of Conference Carolinas opponents at 12:00 p.m. in the Student Center before closing out play at the 2014 King University Invitational at 4:00 p.m. in Kline Hall against Quincy University.
Other King University Invitational matches on Saturday include Quincy vs. Limestone at 10:00 a.m. in the Student Center, Coker vs. Limestone at noon in Kline Hall, and Belmont Abbey vs. Coker at 2:00 p.m. in Kline Hall.

The weak point in Apple's Mac OS X operating system is apparently worse than originally thought. In addition to attacks via the Safari web browser, Apple Mail also executes scripts without asking in certain circumstances. It suffices to disguise a script with the ending "jpg" and assign the Terminal application for opening it. If this script is then sent in the AppleDouble format as an attachment, the information is passed along so that the recipient's system also opens it with the Terminal. Apple Mail displays the attachment with a JPG file symbol, but when users click on it, the script executes within Terminal without further prompting. Update: Heise is right.
