WASHINGTON (AP) — It takes more than a superstorm to derail the U.S. job market.
Employers added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate dipped to 7.7 percent, a four-year low, the government said Friday.
Though modest, the job growth was encouraging because it defied disruptions from Superstorm Sandy and employers' concerns about impending tax increases from the year-end "fiscal cliff."
Analysts said the job market's underlying strength suggests that if the White House and Congress can reach a budget deal to avoid the cliff, hiring and economic growth could accelerate next year.
A budget agreement would coincide with gains in key sectors of the economy.
Builders are breaking ground on more homes, which should increase construction hiring. U.S. automakers just enjoyed their best sales month in nearly five years. And a resolution of the fiscal cliff could lead businesses to buy more industrial machinery and other heavy equipment. That would generate more manufacturing jobs.
"The ground is being prepared for faster growth," said Nigel Gault, an economist at IHS Global Insight.
House GOP leader John Boehner said Friday that the two sides had made little progress in talks seeking a deal to steer clear of the cliff.
The White House used Friday's mixed jobs report as an argument to push President Barack Obama's proposed tax-rate increases for top earners, public works spending and refinancing help for struggling homeowners.
Superstorm Sandy, contrary to expectations, dampened job growth only minimally in November, the government said. Job gains were roughly the same as this year's 150,000 monthly average, and the unemployment rate fell two-tenths of a percentage point to its lowest level since December 2008.
That suggests that fears about the cliff haven't led employers to cut staff, though they aren't hiring aggressively, either. The economy must produce roughly twice November's job gain to quickly lower the unemployment rate.
Friday's report included some discouraging signs. Employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September combined than the government had initially estimated. Monthly job totals come from a survey of 140,000 companies and government agencies, which together employ about 1 in 3 nonfarm workers in the United States.
The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey of households, fell because 229,000 people without jobs stopped looking for work and so were no longer counted as unemployed.
The household survey asks about 60,000 households whether the adults have jobs and whether those who don't are looking for one. Those without a job who are seeking one are counted as unemployed. Those who aren't looking aren't counted as unemployed.
All told, 12 million people were unemployed in November, about 230,000 fewer than the previous month. That's still many more than the 7.6 million who were out of work when the recession officially began in December 2007.
A broader gauge counts the unemployed, plus part-time workers who want full-time work and people who have given up looking for a job. That total added up to 22.7 million people in November, down from 23 million in October.
Investors appeared pleased with the report. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 81 points.
For now, worries about the cliff have led some companies to cut back on purchases of heavy equipment. Consumers are also signaling concern. A survey of consumer sentiment fell sharply in December, economists noted, partly over worries that taxes could rise next year.
But a resolution of the cliff could accelerate job growth in the construction and manufacturing industries. Those sectors, on average, pay more than the retail and restaurant jobs that have helped drive hiring in recent months and tend to contribute more to economic growth.
Construction workers earned an average of $26 an hour in November. Factory workers averaged $24 an hour. Both far exceed the hourly average of $16.40 for retail employees and about $13.40 for hotel, restaurant and other hospitality workers.
"The good news is not that the labor market is improving rapidly — it isn't — but that employment growth is holding up despite all the fears over the fiscal cliff," Gault said.
He estimates that a budget deal would boost the economy's average monthly job gains to about 200,000 next year.
One company that could step up hiring in 2013 is Ahaus Tool & Engineering in Richmond, Ind., which makes assembly machines for the automotive and power-generation industries.
Kevin Ahaus, president of the 90-person company and the fourth generation of his family to run it, says the company had its best year ever in the 12 months that ended in September. But since October, sales have leveled off. Many customers are asking for bids but not closing deals, Ahaus said, because of the uncertain economic outlook.
That, in turn, is causing him to delay hiring.
"I probably won't hire anybody until the first of the year because of all the unknowns out there," he said.
Many analysts thought Sandy would hold back job growth significantly in November because the storm forced restaurants, retailers and other businesses to close in late October and early November.
It didn't. In part, that's because the storm struck Oct. 29, but as long as employees had returned to work by Thanksgiving week, the survey counted them as employed.
Yet there were signs that the storm disrupted some areas of the economy in November. Construction employment dropped 20,000, for example.
Retailers added 53,000 positions last month, a sharp gain that likely reflected holiday hiring. Auto manufacturers added nearly 10,000 jobs. But overall manufacturing jobs fell by 7,000, partly a result of 12,000 jobs lost in food manufacturing that likely reflected layoffs at Hostess Brands Inc.
The rebound in housing is leading Georgia Pacific, a paper and wood products company, to hire. It is opening a new plant in South Carolina next year and is filling 140 jobs. So far, it's received 2,400 applications.
"It's a little overwhelming from an HR perspective," said Julie Brehm, vice president of human resources.

Bulls should have their pick of forwards
The forward position is an area of need for the Bulls this offseason, when P.J. Brown is expected to leave as an unrestricted free agent and restricted free-agent Andres Nocioni might follow him out the door in a sign-and-trade move.
Tyrus Thomas is to play extended minutes at power forward opposite Luol Deng next season, but more and better numbers are needed there.
In that case, the Bulls couldn't have picked a better time to fill the need, as the draft is especially deep at the wing spots.
If the front office stays put with the ninth overall pick in the first round, it should be in position to pick and choose from several candidates at the position.
The potential lottery picks at the position:
- Kevin Durant (6-foot-10, 215 pounds, University of Texas). He didn't score high in the measurables at the predraft camp, but the kid can play. Considered to be a combination of Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady, Durant can score from anywhere from the rim to the 3-point arc. And he can rebound and block shots, too.
- Al Horford (6-10, 246, Florida). Some doubts persist about his interior defense, but there are few if any about his ability to score and rebound.
- Jeff Green (6-8, 225, Georgetown). An excellent passer and rebounder who can play either forward position. Green can score, too, although he lacks quickness and needs to be more assertive at times.
- Brandan Wright (6-10, 200, North Carolina). He lacks physical strength, but his length and freakish athletic skills cannot be overlooked.
- Yi Jianlian (7-0, 230, Guangdong Tigers). Runs the floor and shoots the perimeter shot like a small forward. Yi played against inferior competition overseas. As a result, he might not be able to make an immediate contribution at the next level.
- Corey Brewer (6-8, 185, Florida). Has the size and athleticism to play small forward or off guard effectively. Upper-body strength is an issue at this stage, but Brewer appears to have a future in the league as a defensive stopper and 3-point specialist.
- Joakim Noah (7-0, 223, Florida). Reminds some of a taller, more mature Tyrus Thomas in some ways. Noah plays with considerable energy, especially at the defensive end, but his offensive game is a work in progress. Like Brewer and Horford, his experience with a two-time national championship team improves his stock considerably.
- Al Thornton (6-7, 221, Florida State). May be the best pure athlete available. While his abilities as a passer and ball-handler leave much to be desired, the 23-year-old Thornton has a lethal first step and advanced midrange game.
Brewer, Noah and Thornton worked out for the Bulls earlier this month, while Yi had a private session for team officials in Los Angeles.
Other probable first-rounders: Josh McRoberts (6-10, 240, Duke), Jason Smith (7-0, 233, Colorado State), Tiago Splitter (7-0, 245, Tau Victoria), Julian Wright (6-9, 211, Kansas), Thaddeus Young (6-8, 210, Georgia Tech).

Let's take a lucky guess that you're here today because you've heard a lot about cryptocurrencies and you want to get involved, right? If you're a community person, Dogecoin mining might be the perfect start for you!submitted by alifkhalil469 to BtcNewz [link] [comments]
Bitcoin was the first in 2009, and now there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies. These new coins (that operate on their own native blockchain) are called altcoins or alternative coins. One popular altcoin is Dogecoin. It can be bought, sold and traded, just like Bitcoin. It can also be mined!
So, what is Dogecoin mining?
You'll know what hardware and what software you need to get started. You'll also know whether or not Dogecoin mining is for you!
So, where would you like to start? The beginning? Great choice. Let's have a quick look at how Dogecoin got started.
A (Very) Short History of Dogecoin
In 2013, an Australian named Jackson Palmer and an American named Billy Markus became friends. They became friends because they both liked cryptocurrencies. However, they also thought the whole thing was getting too serious so they decided to create their own.
Palmer and Markus wanted their coin to be more fun and more friendly than other crypto coins. They wanted people who wouldn't normally care about crypto to get involved.
They decided to use a popular meme as their mascot — a Shiba Inu dog.
Dogecoin was launched on December 6th, 2013. Since then it has become popular because it's playful and good-natured. Just like its mascot!
Dogecoin has become well-known for its use in charitable acts and online tipping. In 2014, $50,000 worth of Dogecoin was donated to the Jamaican Bobsled Team so they could go to the Olympics. Dogecoin has also been used to build wells in Kenya. Isn't that awesome!
Users of social platforms – like Reddit – can use Dogecoin to tip or reward each other for posting good content.
Dogecoin has the 27th largest market cap of any cryptocurrency.
Note: A market cap (or market capitalization) is the total value of all coins on the market.
So, Dogecoin is a popular altcoin, known for being fun, friendly and kind. It's a coin with a dog on it! You love it already, don't you?
Next, I want to talk about how mining works…
What is Mining?
To understand mining, you first need to understand how cryptocurrencies work. Cryptocurrencies are peer-to-peer digital currencies. This means that they allow money to be transferred from one person to another without using a bank.
Every cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on a huge digital database called a blockchain. The database is stored across thousands of computers called nodes. Nodes put together groups of new transactions and add them to the blockchain. These groups are called blocks.
Each block of transactions has to be checked by all the nodes on the network before being added to the blockchain. If nodes didn't check transactions, people could pretend that they have more money than they really do (I know I would!).
Confirming transactions (mining) requires a lot of computer power and electricity so it's quite expensive.
Blockchains don't have paid employees like banks, so they offer a reward to users who confirm transactions. The reward for confirming new transactions is new cryptocurrency. The process of being rewarded with new currency for confirming transactions is what we call "mining"!
It is called mining because it's a bit like digging for gold or diamonds. Instead of digging with a shovel for gold, you're digging with your computer for crypto coins!
Each cryptocurrency has its own blockchain. Different ways of mining new currency are used by different coins where different rewards are offered.
So, how do you mine Dogecoin? What's special about Dogecoin mining? Let's see…
What is Dogecoin Mining?
Dogecoin mining is the process of being rewarded with new Dogecoin for checking transactions on the Dogecoin blockchain. Simple, right? Well no, it's not quite that simple, nothing ever is!
Mining Dogecoin is like a lottery. To play the lottery you have to do some work. Well, actually your computer (or node) has to do some work! This work involves the confirming and checking of transactions which I talked about in the last section.
Lots of computers work on the same block of transactions at the same time but the only one can win the reward of new coins. The one that earns the new coins is the node that adds the new block of transactions to the old block of transactions. This is completed using complex mathematical equations.
The node that solves the mathematical problem first wins! It can then attach the newly confirmed block of transactions to the rest of the blockchain.
Most cryptocurrency mining happens this way. However, Dogecoin mining differs from other coins in several important areas. These areas are;
Mining Comparison
Bitcoin uses SHA-256 to guide the mining of new currency and the other two use Scrypt. This is an important difference because Scrypt mining needs a lot less power and is a lot quicker than SHA-256. This makes mining easier for miners with less powerful computers. Fans of Litecoin and Dogecoin think that they are fairer than Bitcoin because more people can mine them.
Note: In 2014, Litecoin and Dogecoin merged mining. This means they made it possible to mine both coins in the same process. Dogecoin mining is now linked with Litecoin mining. It's like two different football teams playing home games in the same stadium!
Mining Dogecoin is a lot faster than mining Litecoin or Bitcoin. The block reward is much higher too!
Don't get too excited though (sorry!). Dogecoin is still worth a lot less than Bitcoin and Litecoin. A reward of ten thousand Dogecoin is worth less than thirty US Dollars. A reward of 12.5 Bitcoin is currently worth 86,391.63 US Dollars!
However, it's not as bad as it sounds. Dogecoin mining difficulty is more than one million times less than Bitcoin mining difficulty. This means you are much more likely to win the block reward when you mine Dogecoin.
Now I've told you about what Dogecoin mining is and how it works, would you like to give it a try?
Let's see what you need to do to become a Dogecoin miner…
How to Mine Dogecoin
There are two ways to mine Dogecoin, solo (by yourself) or in a Dogecoin mining pool.
Note: A Dogecoin pool is a group of users who share their computing power to increase the odds of winning the race to confirm transactions. When one of the nodes in a pool confirms a transaction, it divides the reward between the users of the pool equally.
Dogecoin Mining: Solo vs Pool
When you mine as a part of a Dogecoin pool, you have to pay fees. Also, when the pool mines a block you will only receive a small portion of the total reward. However, pools mine blocks much more often than solo miners. So, your chance of earning a reward (even though it is shared) is increased. This can provide you with a steady new supply of Dogecoin.
If you choose to mine solo then you risk waiting a long time to confirm a transaction because there is a lot of competition. It could be weeks or even months before you mine your first block! However, when you do win, the whole reward will be yours. You won't have to share it or pay any fees.
As a beginner, I would recommend joining a Dogecoin pool. This way you won't have to wait as long to mine your first block of new currency. You'll also feel like you're part of the community and that's what Dogecoin is all about!
What You Need To Start Mining Dogecoin
Before you start Dogecoin mining, you'll need a few basics. They are;
Note: A wallet is like an email account. It has a public address for sending/receiving Dogecoin and a private key to access them. Your private keys are like your email's password. Private keys are very important and need to be kept completely secure.
There are two different types; a light wallet and a full wallet. To mine Dogecoin, you'll need the full wallet. It's called Dogecoin Core.
Now that you've got a wallet, you need some software and hardware.
Dogecoin Mining Hardware
You can mine Dogecoin with;
Whether you're mining with an ASIC, a GPU or a CPU, you'll need some software to go with it. You should try to use the software that works best with the hardware you're using. Here's a short list of the best free software for each choice of mining hardware;
You're a beginner, so keep it simple! When you first start mining Dogecoin I would recommend using a GPU like the Radeon RX 580 with EasyMiner software. Then I would recommend joining a Dogecoin mining pool. The best pools to join are multi-currency pools like Multipool or AikaPool.
If you want to mine Dogecoin but don't want to invest in all the tech, there is one other option…
Dogecoin Cloud Mining
Cloud mining is mining without mining! Put simply, you rent computer power from a huge data center for a monthly or yearly fee. The Dogecoin is mined at the center and then your share is sent to you.
All you need to cloud mine Dogecoin is a Dogecoin wallet. Then choose a cloud mining pool to join. Eobot, Nice Hash and Genesis Mining all offer Scrypt-based cloud mining for a monthly fee.
There are pros and cons to Dogecoin cloud mining;
The Pros
So, Is Dogecoin Mining Profitable?
The short answer is, not really. Dogecoin mining is not going to make you a crypto billionaire overnight. One Dogecoin is worth 0.002777 US Dollars. If you choose to mine Dogecoin solo, it will be difficult to make a profit. You will probably spend more money on electricity and hardware than you will make from Dogecoin mining. Even if you choose a Dogecoin pool or a cloud pool your profits will be small.
However, if you think I am telling you to not mine Dogecoin, then you're WRONG! Of course, I think you should mine Dogecoin!
But why? Seriously…
Well, you should mine Dogecoin because it's fun and you want to be a part of the Dogecoin family. Cryptocurrency is going to change the world and you want to be part of that change, right? Mining Dogecoin is a great way to get involved.
Dogecoin is the coin that puts a smile on people's faces. By mining Dogecoin you'll be supporting all the good work its community does. You'll learn about mining from the friendliest gang in crypto. And who knows? In a few years, the Dogecoin you mine now could be worth thousands or even millions! In 2010, Bitcoin was worthless. Think about that!
Only you can choose whether to mine Dogecoin or not. You now know everything you need to know to make your choice. The future is here. So, what are you going to do?

CBC's Barleywine Festival is coming
The Cambridge Brewing Company has announced it will hot its annual Barleywine Festival on Jan. 31 beginning at 5 p.m.
I've been to the Barleywine Festival a few times, and I can say that Cambridge's two barleywines, the Arquebus and Bluderbuss, are my two favorite barleywines brewed int he world.
The festival will feature 12 different versions of the two barleywines, as well as two different versions of the English-style old ale, Bad Knees. The exact details of the different versions have not been disclosed.
To go along with Will Meyer's beers, Executive Chef David Drew is putting together a special small plate menu to pair with the various barleywines. In addition, the regular menu will also be available.
As with past Barleywine Festivals, there are no tickets, and tables are available on a first come, first served basis. There will be no advanced reservations.
I hope to get there that night and to see some of you there.

Man tried saving kids buried in dirt
STANLEY — For Jordan Arwood, the images return in waves. A wall of dirt collapsing and burying his 6-year-old daughter and her 7-year-old cousin in a pit he was working on. Rescue workers frantically pulling the children from thick red clay. Their lifeless bodies placed in the back of an ambulance.
"When she came out of the hole she was so cold," Arwood, of Stanley, N.C., told The Associated Press in his first news media interview. "I just wanted for her to be warm. I just wanted to put my arms around her and tell her she would be safe....I promised her I'd keep her safe. I promised them I'd keep them safe and warm. I broke that promise."
The 31-year-old Arwood was operating a backhoe Sunday night in the pit when the walls caved in on the children. The bodies of the two young cousins, Chloe Jade Arwood and James Levi Caldwell, were dug out Monday morning.
Arwood is the girl's father. His parents, Nancy and Ken Caldwell, had adopted the boy, his twin sister Jazmin and 9-year-old brother Josiah. Arwood lives next to his parents and the pit was on his property.
Arwood told the AP he reached out to save the children but they were just outside his grasp. He said he dug faster and faster trying to rescue them until he couldn't breathe.
"When the wall came down, I kept grabbing what was in front of me — grabbing enough dirt, grabbing boulders. ... I wasn't going to stop until I pulled them out. But I couldn't save them," he said, sobbing.
He paused for a moment.
"I wish it was me,' he said.
Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Detective Lt. Tim Johnson said investigators were interviewing family members and neighbors about the case. When they finished, they planned to present their findings to the district attorney's office.
Investigators described the pit as 20 feet by 20 feet, with a sloped entrance leading down to the 24-foot bottom. The children were at the bottom of the pit retrieving a child-sized pickaxe when the walls fell in on them. No permits had been issued for Arwood to dig on the site.
Johnson said investigators still don't know why Arwood was digging the hole and that people have speculated that the pit was everything from a "doomsday bunker" to an underground structure for "illegal activity," such as growing marijuana.
Sheriff's deputies on Monday removed guns and a marijuana plant from Arwood's mobile home. Arwood is a felon who is not allowed to have guns. He was convicted in 2003 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.
Dion Burleson, spokesman for the Denver Fire Department, which responded to collapse, said crews filled in the pit Monday.
Arwood said he was building a rammed earth home, an ancient building method where dirt is used to shape the foundation. Arwood said he had been digging for three months. He said he was building it for his family's future - to give them a safe, affordable eco-friendly home that would last a generation. And he said there was nothing strange about it and that people have been building rammed earth homes since the beginning of civilization. He said he researched the permits and didn't believe he needed one at that stage of construction.
He also said he didn't expect the walls to collapse. And late Tuesday afternoon, Arwood walked to the site of the pit and pointed to the spot where his daughter and James had been buried under the dirt.
Reaching down, he sifted the dirt between the fingers of his right hand. Then he punched the soil in frustration.
Arwood said he never allowed the children in the construction site. But they were children who loved to play in a big backyard, and sometimes they would sneak in and try to help without warning. But when he spotted them, Arwood said he would immediately kick them out.
As the walls fell in, he recalled, the children were running to get away. He was within inches of grabbing his daughter's hand. But she disappeared under a surge of dirt. Now he's haunted by the memories.
"I want to wake up. I just want to wake up," he said.
Recalling the children, his eyes brighten. They were always running around together — the best of friends.
Family, he says, is the most important thing to him. He has a broken femur from a car accident, and has spent a lot of time at home in the last two years raising Chloe, James and their siblings. He taught his daughter and James how to ride four-wheelers in the backyard. He taught Chloe how to hunt.
"This was one side of Chloe: hunting with daddy. She begged me every day afterschool and put on coffee at 4 a.m. to hunt before school. She loved her cammo (camouflage) and providing food for her family, be it gardening farming or hunting," he said, adding that she could hit milk jugs at 200 yards. "I taught her to do so much because I couldn't do it without her after my accident that broke my femur and destroyed my body and left me helpless."
Arwood was like a father to James.
"How many times did I have to tell him to brush his teeth? I'll never be able to tell him again, 'Go brush your teeth, brush your hair.' That was the first thing he did in the morning," he said.
On Tuesday, friends and family in this tight-knit rural community came by to offer their condolences. They brought food to the family. Before Sunday's accident, the house was usually filled with laughter. Now it was somber.
Ken Caldwell sat on a couch, surrounded by photos of his grandchildren. Nearby was a white karate suit. James is going to be buried in it. He was just a few days shy of taking a test for his orange belt.
Caldwell, who worked 34 years in a steel fabrication plant, recalled reading Tom Swift books every night to James, a bright, energetic first-grader with a big smile.
He loved his grandmother, who would tuck him in every night. "After she tucked him in, he would stick out his leg out of the covers and say, "Grandma, my foot's not covered.'"
Chloe was always running around the house and jumping in his lap.
"She's so beautiful," he said.
When he saw the children's bodies in the ambulance, he said he placed his hands on them and asked God to "bring them back."
While his prayers went unanswered, his faith is still strong — and he's going to use it to carry him through the tough times.
"You have to trust the Lord," he said. "I'm just grateful I had time to spend with my grandkids."

In 1972, the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals (CCPA) got a new chief judge named Thomas Markey. At Markey's investiture ceremony, patent attorney Donald Dunner spoke of the "anguish of the patent bar about the treatment of patents in various federal courts." The CCPA, a DC-based court that heard appeals from the US Patent & Trademark Office, was considered to be relatively pro-patent—but other federal appeals courts had jurisdiction over actual patent lawsuits and tended to be friendlier to patent defendants. Even worse, in Dunner's view, the Supreme Court itself seemed unfriendly to patent holders.
This sad state of affairs made it a bad time to be a patent attorney. Because patents were frequently invalidated by the courts, companies filed many fewer applications for them than they do today. Patents were seen as a backwater in the legal profession. Dunner urged Markey to inspire "his associates on this bench to spread the patent gospel to their sisters and brothers on the other federal benches."
A decade later, the patent bar's anguish would turn to joy as Congress merged the CCPA with another court to create the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit would be just as patent-friendly as the CCPA, but unlike its predecessor, the Federal Circuit was handed jurisdiction over all patent appeals, including the lawsuits that had previously been handled by other courts. On October 1, 1982, Judge Markey became the chief judge of the new court and set to work to remake patent law.
No institution is more responsible for the recent explosion of patent litigation in the software industry, the rise of patent trolls, and the proliferation of patent thickets than the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The patent court's thirtieth birthday this week is a good time to ask whether it was a mistake to give the nation's most patent-friendly appeals court such broad authority over the patent system.
The patent lawyers' court
Patent scholars Adam Jaffe and Josh Lerner tell a story in their 2004 book Innovation and Its Discontents that illustrates the problem Congress was trying to solve with the creation of the Federal Circuit. Every Tuesday at noon, a crowd would gather at the patent office awaiting the week's list of issued patents.
As soon as a patent was issued, a representative for its owner would rush to the telephone and order a lawyer stationed in a patent-friendly jurisdiction such as Kansas City to file an infringement lawsuit against the company's competitors. Meanwhile, representatives for the competitors would rush to the telephone as well. They would call their own lawyers in patent-skeptical jurisdictions like San Francisco and urge them to file a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the patent. Time was of the essence because the two cases would eventually be consolidated, and the court that ultimately heard the case usually depended on which filing had an earlier timestamp.
By 1982, concerns about the lack of uniformity in patent law had become widespread. Observers were also worried that generalist judges lacked expertise to handle the complexities of patent law. And so Congress combined the CCPA with the Court of Claims (which handled lawsuits against the federal government) to create this new court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The new court had exclusive jurisdiction over patent appeals. Patent lawsuits were still heard by trial courts across the country, but when the trial courts' rulings were appealed, they would no longer go to one of the 12 geographically-based appeals courts that handle most other appellate issues. Instead, all patent cases would be heard by the Federal Circuit.
"Effectively reversing some major precedents"
By definition, this accomplished Congress's goals of making patent law more uniform and bringing greater "expertise" to patent issues. But it had an important side effect—making the law more favorable to patent holders.
Theoretically, the pro-patent leanings of the Federal Circuit should have been checked by a more skeptical Supreme Court. In practice however, the patent court had a great deal of autonomy.
"It is not common in the life of the law in America for a lower court and a major segment of its bar to take on the nation's highest court, effectively reversing some major precedents or at least substantially mitigating their impact," notes Steven Flanders in a recent history of the patent court. "Yet this was done."
The Federal Circuit, he said, also took on "the quieter and subtler effort to re-educate trial judges throughout the judiciary, to make them friendlier to patent-holders (or at least to the system of patents) as well." (Flanders, it should be noted, is an avowed supporter of the Federal Circuit and its efforts to reshape patent law).
This dismissive attitude toward Supreme Court precedents apparently survives to this day among patent lawyers. In the wake of this year's decision limiting patents on the practice of medicine, patent attorney Gene Quinn wondered, "How long will it take the Federal Circuit to overrule this inexplicable nonsense?" Obviously, the Federal Circuit can't "overrule" a Supreme Court decision. But with enough persistence, it can, and often does, subvert the principles enunciated by the nation's highest court. And when it does so, it almost always works in the direction of making patents easier to obtain and enforce.

Slow-moving snowstorm pummels Midwest, heads east
- Storm kills six people in the Plains
- Up to a foot of snow is likely Wednesday in northern New England
- Not enough snow to end the drought
DENVER (AP) - A snowstorm moving across the Midwest forced about 60 students to spend the night at their Colorado school when a state highway was closed due to dangerous conditions that left some drivers stranded in their cars, as winter weather continued to cause problems for a wide swath of the country.
Tens of thousands remained without power in Michigan, while adverse conditions continued to disrupt flights at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
In eastern Wisconsin, hundreds of vehicles were stranded or ended up in crashes as a winter storm made travel dangerous. And in Kansas, the latest snowstorm to hit the state was being blamed for six deaths.
According to the air traffic tracking website FlightAware.com, about 100 flights in and out of Chicago's airports have been canceled for Wednesday. Flights into O'Hare International Airport are being delayed an average of about an hour.
On the plains in the eastern half of Colorado, wind and snow created whiteout conditions Tuesday afternoon just as buses began taking students home from the Miami-Yoder school district school about 40 miles east of Colorado Springs. The buses turned back to the school and about 60 students, ranging from preschoolers to 12th graders, watched movies, played basketball, ate concession-stand pizza and talked to their parents before bedtime.
The older kids slept on wrestling and gym mats covered with coats, while the younger ones curled up on preschool napping mats, Principal Sharon Webb said.
The school is a large version of a one-room schoolhouse. The students all know each other, and many are related, which Webb said gave it the feel of a sleepover. She said parents were understanding.
"When you live out here in this wide-open country, you know they're where it's the safest," she said of the school.
Daylight showed how powerful the wind had been. Outside, there were drifts up to 4 feet high, but the grass was still visible on the football field.
The blowing snow also temporarily closed a 150-mile stretch of Interstate 70 from just outside Denver to the Kansas line, along with other smaller highways in eastern Colorado, including the one leading to the school. Deputies in surrounding El Paso County responded to about 40 calls for help from stranded drivers or reports of vehicles off the road that might still have people inside. No injuries were reported.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said Wednesday the latest winter storm to hit his state caused six deaths.
The governor said two people died in traffic crashes, two siblings died from carbon monoxide poisoning in Kansas City, Kan., a woman died in southwest Kansas while shoveling snow, and another Kansas City resident was killed while walking in the snow.
The storms that crossed Kansas last Thursday and again this week dropped more than 2 feet of snow in some places and knocked out power to thousands of customers, mostly in eastern counties.
In Michigan, utilities said Wednesday roughly 50,600 homes and businesses lost electrical service after a storm that hit the state starting Tuesday knocked down power lines and tree branches.
Detroit-based DTE Energy Co. said about 40,000 of its customers were without power in the morning, and that Washtenaw County was the hardest hit.
Consumers Energy reported about 10,600 of its customers were without power in Wednesday afternoon. The subsidiary of Jackson-based CMS Energy Corp. said those outages include about 2,624 customers in Jackson County and 2,086 in Calhoun County.
The utilities said crews would work around the clock to restore power.The National Weather Service said 9 inches of snow were reported in Muskegon, Mich., as of Wednesday morning. Authorities said weather might be a factor in crashes that killed motorists in Sanilac and Monroe counties.
In Wisconsin, there were more than 340 stranded vehicles and crashes in Milwaukee, Kenosha, Ozaukee and Washington counties after heavy snowfall that started Tuesday and continued into Wednesday.
The storm dumped 14 inches in Sheboygan County, where sheriff's Lt. Mark Rupnik said they've had at least 100 calls for stranded vehicles, vehicles in ditches or accidents. He said the main highways were drivable as of Wednesday afternoon but expected the secondary roads to be a problem for the next day.
Several area school districts canceled classes Wednesday, and there were power outages in the Milwaukee area.
Elsewhere, authorities said no one was injured after a train collided with a car that was stuck in snow on railroad tracks in Woodward, Okla., where at least 15 inches of snow fell.
The car's driver tried to drive over the train tracks Wednesday morning but became trapped on the snow-covered road, Oklahoma City television station KWTV reported.
Authorities say the driver was able to exit the car safely but couldn't push the vehicle from the tracks before the train smashed into it. The car was totaled in the collision.

scott cooper scottish claymoresScott Cooper Miami has something for everyone. Miami is one of the state's – and the world's – most popular vacation spots. Though destinations often are said to offer something for everyone, the Miami area does indeed offer something for everyone: The trendy nightlife of South Beach, the Art Deco district. The bustle of Calle Ocho and the highly caffeinated energy of Little Havana. The plush hotels of Miami Beach and the historic hideaways of Coral Gables. Seemingly endless shopping opportunities in modern, sprawling malls and the quiet, personal attention offered by the family-owned shops of Coconut Grove and many other corners of the region. The lures of deep-sea fishing and golf and tennis. Miami's major league football, basketball, hockey and baseball. Boat shows and auto racing. Art festivals and outdoor food and wine extravaganzas. An international airport and the world's busiest cruise port.
scott cooper scottish claymores is what Miami is all about.
scott cooper scottish claymores mentions that Miami Beach is a coastal resort city in Miami incorporated in the year 1915. According to scott cooper scottish claymores, by the 1970s, jet travel had enabled vacationers from the northern parts of the US to travel to the Caribbean and other warm-weather climates in the winter. Miami Beach's economy suffered. Elderly retirees, many with little money, dominated the population of South Beach.
scott cooper scottish claymores came to Miami for a reason.Sultry, seductive Miami, Florida has lots of distinct identities: snowbird refuge, retiree harbor, celebrity park, immigrant stop-off and tourist Mecca. All accurate, they're telling descriptors of everything this dazzling city adopts. They are also oblivious of the melting-pot culture which has come to establish South Florida, a region originally dismissed by developers. The area later discovered purpose for a resort destination and as plantation property to get Florida's first settlers These initial roles ultimately led to the current Miami, a capital of travel, commerce and self-assertive flamboyance. However, what else could you ask of a sub-tropical wonderland washed by the brilliant light and kissed by waters that are overburdened? Just as the early 20th century, America's Riviera was largely a backwater. Its potential was eventually brought to fruition by the coming of the railway, the guarantee of a yearlong growing season, and also the emerging leisure class's disposable income for touring in Miami. The main locus for such fashionable activity is Miami Beach and, more specifically, South Beach (affectionately deemed SoBe). Artistic, self indulgent and boasting a number of Miami's best holiday spots and hottest shores, it's an enclave that preserves its vibrancy whatever the minute, illuminated alternately by sunlight and neon. Here, Art Deco Miami landmarks tie past and present together with pastel sleekness whilst impossibly beautiful people couch through the day and party late at night. Still, Miami holiday spots and travel destinations are not all this place offers. Miami transcends the promoted glitz it's obtained from association with films, TV shows and magazine spreads. It encircles Coconut Grove's residential beauty and excellent shopping (CocoWalk and the Streets of Mayfair attract people by droves) and Coral Gables winding roads, Mediterranean design and refined lifestyle. It reaches out to the quiet suburban domesticity of all South Dade using its parks, parks and wildlife attractions. Miami travel guides note that it also shines as a beacon of available independence for immigrants from throughout the Caribbean and South and central America. Escaping poverty and lack of opportunity, they have a dearth of material products but an inextinguishable hope and an abiding tradition which manifest itself in foods, songs and community wealth. Food and songs, in actuality, exhibit Miami's zest for all things sensual. Cool jazz, lively salsa rhythms, along with a cuisine which combine fresh seafood, tropical fruits and tongue-tingling tastes offer proof of a people and a town mesmerized by - and dedicated to - that the spices of life. Experience its numerous incarnations in the most scenic Miami areas: Small Havana, SoBe or even the Design District. Each boasts elite clubs and superlative restaurants, energized by a style-conscious clientele, which means you'll never run out of things to do in Miami. Such range so much possibility - for the two spirit and desire - finally dedicating to Miami a semblance of meaning that it neither requires nor demands. The town's attractiveness remains independent of efforts to quantify it, and regardless of the attempt, satisfaction comes with just experiencing it. After all, when controlling climate and abundant attention contribute to a powerful, vibrant hybrid, it is not exactly the parentage that draws attention but simply the beauty of the blossom.
scott cooper scottish claymores is what makes Miami and Florida so special.

Rockford more like top U.S. city than imagined
Last month I traveled for the first time to Charleston, South Carolina. Although I expected it to mirror San Francisco, I surprisingly found it to be like Rockford, too.
A bit of background before I explain: An editor assigned me the task of checking out how the touristy South Carolina city and its surrounding area have become known for job growth and economic diversification. The aim: Rockford might learn from Charleston. I reported on what I discovered at rrstar.com and in Sunday's second monthly section devoted to charting the progress of Transform Rockford, the communitywide effort to turn around Rockford's social and economic ills.
The minute I was given the assignment, I started researching. Visions of The City by the Bay in California danced in my head from the get-go.
After all, Charleston was named the No. 1 city in the U.S. last year for the third year in a row, as ranked by readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine, a top travel guide. Charleston had unseated San Francisco, which held the top spot for 18 years.
Both cities have inviting ocean views.
The day I landed in Charleston, I walked next to big blue waters in Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. I've vacationed twice in San Francisco, crossing over the Pacific Ocean on the beautifully designed Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Bay.
I understand how crooner Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco, "where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars." I marveled at the towering homes along Lombard Street, dubbed the World's Most Crooked Street.
Similarly, I was heartened while riding in a horse-drawn carriage, passing grand, historic homes on cobblestone streets in Charleston.
While in the city some endearingly call "Chucktown," I also noticed similarities — some gritty — to Rockford, once known as Screw Capital of the World because of its many fastener-making factories.
A few observations:
I spent two nights at a new hotel with the latest amenities, the Holiday Inn Charleston Historic Downtown, from which I easily walked to the city's main retail drag — King Street — and restaurants that have been featured on the Food Network.
I'm sure the Amerock/Ziock building — planned for conversion into a hotel and conference center, the first downtown hotel in Rockford — also will feature the latest amenities. It is within a half dozen blocks of Social, the farm-to-table eatery that will be featured Friday on "Check, Please!," a Chicago restaurant review series on WTTW.
Yet less than two blocks from the Holiday Inn stood a decrepit wooden house with no-trespassing signs affixed to a surrounding fence. Though I saw few others like it, the abandoned home looked like too many of the 3,300 vacant properties the city of Rockford is evaluating for possible demolition.
Back on the upside, plantations are a must-see in Charleston, and I toured the flowering Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. It's America's oldest garden, started in the late 1680s. Anderson Japanese Gardens also is a tourist draw in Rockford. In 2004, it was named the finest Japanese garden in North America by the Journal of Japanese Gardening.
It is true that Rockford could never be a San Francisco or Charleston — no ocean, no moderate climate, for example. And it's unlikely that Rockford — the third-most-miserable city in America last year, according to Forbes — will be the No. 1 city in the U.S. in at least my children's lifetimes.
But Rockford's becoming a much better version of itself is surely doable sooner rather than later.

Last week, this blog received an email from Mel Ve, co-owner of the Conscious Consumer Network (CCN). Attached to that email was a transcript of Skype texts between Mel and Angela Power-Disney, who was sacked from CCN in January. We've been bringing our readers excerpts from that transcript, in an effort to better understand the dynamics of what went on behind the scenes.
Yesterday we received another transcript from Mel: this one contains the Skype conversations between Mel and Angela's American protegée Sandy Goodridge-Bergen, who was sacked from CCN just before Angie was. Mel's cover note stated that she'd removed sensitive financial information from the transcript, as she doesn't want anyone taking advantage of Sandy for her money. We agree: we think the following will illustrate just how vulnerable Sandy is.
Early warning signs
From her first Skype convo with Mel, Sandy seems a little…off:We realise that Mel and Biggi are used to dealing with people with an extreme "new age" bent, but when Sandy alleges here that "there's a good chance (she's) being manipulated", and that she "wasn't too keen on subliminals being flashed across Biggi's screen" during an interview, she's exhibiting delusions or hallucinations, in addition to something psychologists call "ideas of reference".
When Sandy claims to have seen something flashing across Biggi's screen, that's either a delusion or an hallucination—essentially, a non-real event that was created by her own brain. And when she says she's "being manipulated" and refers to the illusory "subliminals" as somehow relating to her, she's showing that she has ideas of reference. Ideas of reference describe the belief that innocuous or ordinary is somehow directed at the individual. While many normal people can exhibit these symptoms in the absence of mental illness—during a high fever, for example—we'd suggest that it's an early warning sign of mental illness.
That said, Mel tries to calm Sandy down, offering her support and trying to reassure her: Sandy describes the "subliminals", and admits that she "see(s) things other people don't see, such as beautiful orbs of energy in the sky that float and move gracefully back and forth in the sky". Okay, so visual hallucinations, then.
The next warning shot comes a week and a half later, while Mel and Sandy are discussing whether Sandy can respond directly to the text comments during her shows. Mel shares a comment that was received but deleted: While this could conceivably have come from anyone, Sandy says she knows exactly who it is: it's her daughter's best friend, pointing out that Sandy has drug addiction issues and has become estranged from her daughter and grandchildren. Sandy reacts with seeming indifference. Later in the same conversation, she says that the commenter "has her kid in the program too, same as my daughter". By "program", she means "MK Ultra", the programme she claims to have been forced into:One might think that a mother and grandmother would be deeply distressed at the thought of her daughter putting her grandchildren into a programme that is alleged to engage in horrific psychiatric torture and mind control techniques, but Sandy seems quite nonchalant about it, as though announcing that her daughter likes milk in her coffee. She then changes the subject to discuss the show she's planning for the winter solstice festival. Strange.Again, Sandy shows more delusions ("they listen to everything we say") and ideas of reference: she thinks the son of the man she cares for put an American flag up on the garage in some sort of gesture aimed at psychically attacking her.
Later the same day, Sandy texts again. Angie has told her she looked either exhausted or high on her last show; what does Mel think? Mel tries to offer some practical advice, tactfully explaining that "being fresh and balanced" (i.e. not high as a kite) "helps to control rapid eye movement and blinking". Later that day, Sandy reports that she has started seeing "creepy stuff in the paneling". Strangely, her phone cannot seem to pick it up…quite possibly because it's not there?
A couple of weeks later, Sandy is once again focussing on the "creepy" paneling in the house where she's staying: While we have become accustomed to people who claim to see "occult symbolism" where none exists, it's really not something most normal people do. And in Sandy's case, her messages seem to be filled with references to strange delusions—such as "getting super downloaded today". This seems to refer to her belief that some unnamed person or persons can read her thoughts and "download" them without her permission.
Again: not normal.
The Skype transcript is full of conversations in which Sandy barrages Mel with demands for support, interspersed with bizarre claims:
Looking back over the transcripts, it's very clear that Sandy is a very troubled person. She's emotionally volatile, requires a great deal of time and attention, and seems to have some symptoms of serious mental disorder.
We should say here that we don't think Mel should necessarily have had the insight or knowledge of mental illness to flag Sandy, take her off the air, or get her the help she needs. Anyone who has ever lived with someone with mental health problems or addictions will confirm that it's incredibly difficult to know how to react in a truly helpful way, and Mel was clearly trying to do her best by offering support.
Tomorrow: The final meltdown, and how Angela helped nudge things along. Stay tuned!

A woman carrying her daughter vents her frustrations to electoral staff as she and others wait to cast their vote during a referendum on the new Egyptian constitution at a polling station on December 15, 2012 in Cairo, Egypt. (Photo: Getty Images)
(TheBlaze/AP) -- Nevine Mustafa finally had enough after 10 hours of waiting to cast her "no" vote in Egypt's referendum on a highly disputed draft constitution. She and the other women in line were convinced the judge running the polling station was deliberately stalling to drive away voters opposed to the document.
So the 39-year-old housewife and dozens of other women launched a protest, blocking the street and chanting against the judge in an upper class district of Alexandria, Egypt's second largest city.
"The line was not moving since 8 a.m. I protest. It is now 7 p.m.," an agitated Mustafa said at the time. "He wants us to get bored and leave." After their protest, new officials were brought in to speed up the process.
The scene was a reflection of the deep distrust of Egypt's ruling Islamists and their management of a referendum on a draft constitution that they largely wrote. Questions raised Sunday over the referendum's legitimacy suggest the confrontation between Islamists and their secular, liberal and Christian opponents will not be resolved by the long-awaited vote.
As Islamist President Mohammed Morsi rushed the referendum despite high pitched opposition, the dispute over the charter has turned into a fight over the Islamists' hold on power, and the ballot has become a yes or no vote on the president himself.
Rights activists and opponents of the constitution said Sunday that the first round of voting a day earlier was marred by widespread violations, including suppression of voting by opponents of the charter, particularly women, Christians. A coalition of rights groups said the first round was invalid and should be held over again (the second round of voting, which will incorporate the remaining provinces, is scheduled for December 22).

But it appears highly unlikely that their objections will even be considered.. The Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, said the constitution was on route to approval.
The margin from the first round of voting, which took place in 10 of Egypt's 27 provinces, was narrow - and turnout low, at only 32 percent.
Preliminary results showed 55.8 percent backed the draft, according to the Brotherhood. Its count was based on a compilation of results announced at each individual polling station.
The strongest "no" vote was in Cairo, with 68 percent, according to the official website of Egypt's state television. The "yes" vote narrowly carried Egypt's second largest city, Alexandria, with roughly 56 percent.
The head of the referendum commission said the official results will be announced after the second and last round, scheduled for next Saturday. It was an indication that reports of violations will not stop the process, at least at this stage. Islamists enjoy wide support in most of the 17 provinces of the second round.
The claims of violations are likely to further stoke tensions ahead of the second round, though, as each camp works to mobilize a population that largely opted to stay on the sidelines of the rivalry.
Over the past three weeks, hundreds of thousands from both camps have held rival protests in the streets that sparked violence leaving at least 9 people dead.

Brotherhood spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlan dismissed the rights groups' allegations as politically motivated to sway public opinion.
"These organizations are funded by Western countries. Just like the Westerners hate the Islamists, so do these groups. They are seculars and they hate the Islamists and have foreign agendas," Ghozlan said.
Despite worries over the vote's fairness, voters "should do down in big numbers to say no," a member of the main opposition National Salvation Front, Abdel-Ghaffar Shukr, told a press conference. The group called for new protests Tuesday.
Many voters who backed the charter argue that men who fear God have written the text, so it must be given a chance.
But the women's protest during Saturday's voting in Alexandria's Rushdi neighborhood reflected anger over what they view as the Brotherhood's domineering way of ruling. Scores of women blocked traffic, chanting, "Down with the rule of the Brotherhood leader."
A young man with a light beard - which the women took as a sign he was a Brotherhood member - tried to break up the protest, telling the women they were obstructing traffic, said Mustafa, who herself wears a conservative headscarf.
"So we shouted: Down with Morsi!" she said.

The women contended the judge running the station was trying to suppress voting in the district, known to be a stronghold of "no" voters. He repeatedly closed the station for long breaks to pray, talk on the phone, or eat, said Nada Abdel-Azim, a 23-year old who was among the protesters.
"He even asked one voter what she voted," she said. When told "no," he shut down for another break, she said.
"The country is split into two. We too are Muslims. Why are they labeling us infidels" for rejecting the charter, said Abdel-Azim, a teacher.
Standing in the same line, Mervat Ahmed, a 42-year woman wearing a veil that left only her eyes visible - a sign of the most conservative Muslims - got angry when an acquaintance called her to urge her to vote "yes."
"No, don't tell me this. I am still voting no!" she shouted into the phone. Explaining herself, she said: "I am not convinced by this constitution. The president has great powers. I don't want to wait more years to try to strip him of this power. We will not be able to by that time."
By the end of the day, only 2,873 of the 6,500 women registered in Rushdi district were able to vote. The "no" vote overwhelmingly carried the neighborhood, with only 552 "yes" votes.

Amina Fouad, a 43-year-old self-employed businesswoman, said the district's turnout seemed higher to her. She and her daughter passed by the station four times waiting for the line to die down before finally deciding to wait to vote.
She said she was voting "no" "to clear my conscience, but she expected the "yes" to win. "It is a joke. I don't trust them," she said.
To make it worse, most of the country's judges, who normally supervise elections, boycotted the referendum. Opposition voters accused the judges who did participate of being biased, saying some influenced people to vote "yes." Other voters Saturday also reported suspected Brotherhood members inside polling stations urging people to vote in favor of the charter.
Some judges, in turn, complained that they were overburdened because of the boycott, causing long waits.

For Islamists, the constitution is the keystone for their ambitions to bring about Islamic rule, a goal they say is justified by their large victory in last winter's parliamentary elections.
The opposition had demanded Morsi cancel the referendum because the draft was passed by Islamists in the Constituent Assembly amid a boycott by secular, liberal and Christian members. For opponents, the draft threatens the notion of moderate Islam Egypt had adopted for decades. They fear it will torpedo what freedom they have, particularly for women and religious minorities.
At a press conference Sunday, representatives of seven rights groups denounced the vote, saying it was carried out without sufficient guarantees of fairness. They said they had reports some polling centers closed earlier than scheduled and that in some cases Christians were denied entry to polls and women were prevented from voting. They said they had reports of individuals falsely identifying themselves as judges.
The Agence France-Presse (AFP) has the latest:
Negad Borai, the head of one of the groups, said the election commission did not investigate thousands of complaints on alleged violations and irregularities.
On his Twitter account, Mohamed ElBaradei, Egypt's best known reform leader, questioned whether a vote held "under insufficient judicial supervision, clearly tenuous security and the violence and violations we are witnessing" could lead to stability.
The National Council for Human Rights, a state agency, also said that vote-buying took place outside polling centers and that some independent monitors were turned away from polling stations.
While the charges are serious, they don't touch the wholesale vote fraud that defined Mubarak's 29-year rule.
In Alexandria's middle-class el-Shatbi neighborhood, a group of women complained that their ballots weren't even stamped, raising concerns that the votes wouldn't be counted.
Habiba el-Sayed, a 49-year-old housewife, screamed at the line as she walked out of the station, urging other women to ensure that their ballots were stamped.
"For two hours, people voted without stamped ballots. Beware!" she screamed.
