I wrote a little fiction refresher course for a friend once (it's far too long to present here, but you'll see it in bits and pieces eventually). You can buy books about this stuff, you know. Or go to the library, or look online: I'm sure there's a page named How to Write Fiction in Five Easy Lessons somewhere. The elements are all the same, but everybody arranges them in different ways, so if you don't like my configuration, you can create your own. :)
But here's something you might find of use: when an acquisitions editor is reading book proposals, he's looking, in a broader sense, for three things: story, voice, and writing. A good story that grabs your attention from the get-go (The Hobbit, say, or The Kite Runner), a unique style or charming voice (think Kaye Gibbons's Ellen Foster), and beautiful—or at least serviceable—prose (this is sooo subjective, but think Cormac McCarthy, John Banville, Pat Conroy, yes, Pat Conroy, who has written some very fine lines). I've heard it said that even with just two out of the three, a book might be sold; a good editor can improve clunky writing, or fill plot holes, and so on. But you must have at least two. Otherwise it's just too much work to fix.
… Where were we? Oh yes. The traditional elements of fiction are plot/conflict, setting, character, style/voice, theme (including use of symbolism—and anything else you can think of—to support it), and point of view (I like to include POV in a classification I call structure). Have I left any out? It's late, I'm tired. Of course, they're all interconnected, these elements, overlapping each other and bearing each other up. You'll see different names for them and different ways of combining them. I'm not an expert, just an occasional guide.
As time goes on we'll talk more about these basic elements, but let's start with the theme. I put this one first because it's often the thing that is thought of last, if at all, by beginning authors. And because it's, you know, hard. :)
In a nutshell, the theme is what you want readers to have learned or understood when they finish the book; it's the message. It is, sometimes, "the moral of the story." Whether your theme is a big philosophical issue (think Ayn Rand) or something simpler (J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books, while not great literature, have a nice message, I think, about teamwork, what constitutes family, and that even the most unlikely of us has a part to play, perhaps even a heroic part), you need to have an underlying theme, and what happens in the storyline needs to support it.
You can make this more or less obvious in several ways. You can illustrate it through events in the story, for example, or you can use symbolism—in objects, names, actions, and so on. (I worked on a chick-lit novel in which our protagonist was a meddling matchmaker; we ended up changing all the character names to names used in Jane Austen's Emma—Jane, Isabella, Weston, Taylor, Philip, Hawkins, Bates, Perry, James, and so on. It was great fun; clever, we thought, and sly.) You do have to be careful with this sort of thing, of course, so as not to go completely over the top (we never mentioned Emma or Jane Austen in the narrative; the names were just there for a discerning reader to find).
I've heard stories of working the book's title into the dialogue, or stating the actual theme in the dialogue, but that's just a bridge too far for me. Still, some of the best books ever written actually open with a thesis statement, so it's okay to be bold. For example: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" (Pride And Prejudice). (Of course, Austen was being ironic, but that's another post.) Or "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" (Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina); boy, there it is, plain as the nose on your face. And in case you were to miss the significance of the title, Charles Dickens gives us, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …" (A Tale of Two Cities), and carries on about it, too, with his pairs and dichotomies.
Sometimes, obviously, the theme presents itself as your story unfolds, and you'll write it in and bear it up in your next draft. But you should be on the lookout for it—because Your Editor sure will be. :)
So. A theme. It's important, really. It's one of the things that make your story a novel. Think about it!

In 2016, the Blum Center for Poverty Alleviation expanded its research and programmatic activities. As we begin a new year, we reflect on the events, scholars, and students that impacted the Center. Click each section below to learn more about a few of our favorite moments from the past year:
In 2016 we partnered with organizations and campus departments to present events that invited discussion on issues of poverty alleviation. Students, staff, faculty and community leaders were brought together at events like the Global Food Summit and the Conference on Poverty and Inequality in California. Thanks to the attendees and the support of partners including the UCI School of Social Ecology, Newkirk Center, Center for Living Peace, Towards a Sustainable 21st Century, UCI Law School and Whole Foods Market, the events successfully started conversations about how we can all work to alleviate poverty.
Visiting Speakers and Scholars
In addition to larger conferences, we hosted events with visiting speakers designed to facilitate more in-depth discussion. Ranging from issues of water security to social entrepreneurship, these events offered students the opportunity to learn from the guests' expertise. We also welcomed the inaugural Blum Visiting Scholar.
Luncheon Seminar with Katherine Jacobs, Director of the Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions – 4/15/16
"Social Entrepreneurship: Microfinance, Education, and Poverty Elimination" Dr. Martin Burt – 10/13/16
Blum Center Welcomes Visiting Scholar, Dr. James Orbinski to UC Irvine
Blum Ambassadors Council Initiatives
Comprised of talented and motivated undergraduate students, the Blum Ambassadors Council (BAC) offers the opportunity to create and support projects that address poverty issues on campus and worldwide. In 2016, BAC members began solidifying InSight magazine and were also recognized for their work abroad.
Blum Researcher Launches Food Security Initiative in Swaziland
Thank you to all the students, staff, faculty, departments, organizations, and community leaders who made these activities possible. We look forward to continuing to work with you in 2017.

Design Poole's BDNY Sojourn Lives on as "HUB 925" in Central Florida
Design Poole was one of four featured design firms creating inspired booth spaces at the BDNY Trade Fair in NYC last year. The Sojourn Lounge designs created by DPI will be "repurposed" to bring a new co-working space to life in Orlando, Florida later this year.
When DPI met with their client seeking design and branding services for their new co-working space they discovered the look they desired was so similar to Sojourn Lounge it was possible to reuse almost all of the elements of Sojourn to install and build out their business called Hub 925. Yes, it could not have been a better match up related to name, branding and interior design style and quality!
See the latest publication coverage online by Boutique Design Magazine and the Orlando Business Journal.
Exploria introduces a new vacation ownership product to the market

Quick – can you tell where north is? Animals as diverse as sea turtles, birds, worms, butterflies and wolves can, thanks to sensing Earth's magnetic field.
But the magnet-sensing structures inside their cells that allow them to do this have evaded scientists – until now.
A team led by Can Xie's at Peking University in China has now found a protein in fruit flies, butterflies and pigeons that they believe to be responsible for this magnetic sense.
"It's provocative and potentially groundbreaking," says neurobiologist Steven Reppert of the University of Massachusetts who was not involved in the work. "It took my breath away."
There used to be two competing theories about magnetic sense: some thought it came from iron-binding molecules, others thought it came from a protein called cryptochrome, which senses light and has been linked to magnetic sense in birds.
Xie's group was the first to guess these two were part of the same system, and has now figured out how they fit together.
"This was a very creative approach," says Reppert. "Everyone thought they were two separate systems."

Major US electronics industry association IPC has concluded that the economic inefficiencies in producing electronics for high reliability applications such as military and aerospace will force conversion to lead-free technologies in the near future.
In its report, it notes that the main driver is the increasing scarcity of leaded components, for which an increasing price differential will create 'tipping points' over the next 10 years. The study was based on data from 83 electronic manufacturers and suppliers into these...

Dow Electronic Materials has announced tin-silver plating chemistry for use in lead-free solder bump plating applications.
In Cu pillar capping applications, Solderon BP TS 6000, tin-silver forms a smooth, micro-void free interface post reflow. With a single formulation, Solderon BP TS 6000 is capable of plating speeds ranging from 2 to 9um/min, which creates a significantly wider operating window. The tunable nature of the Ag composition in this formulation makes it suitable for a number of applications and eliminates...

The Art of Flow
Why do we stay in a situation when we know we aren't happy? Perhaps…we stay in something until we finally realize we are worthy of more than what we are experiencing.
This realization of our worthiness is a hard thing for us to accept. It's not your fault when you believe you are less than or not worthy of. You are flying in the face of thousands of years of human experience. We all carry a collective wound. Myths and religions remind us of this in various parables and stories. The story of Adam and Eve speaks of a fall from grace. We all carry that sense of being flawed within our psyches. For those of the Christian faith….we are raised hearing that Jesus died for our sins. When we hear that from an early age, we believe we are sinful. We believe that at our very core…we are flawed.
If we are born in to this world a female, we get a double whammy. This patriarchal world sees woman as second class citizens for the most part. Yes, we have made great strides in the West in the past century, but owning our worth means flying in the face of thousands of years of erroneous beliefs. After all, it has been less than a century that women in Canada are able to own property in their own right, and vote in elections. How long does it take to change an ingrained prejudice which has entered the collective psyche of the masses?
The turbulence and frustration many are feeling today stems from a flicker of knowing. I am more than I have been led to believe. I am worthy of more than I am experiencing…regardless of my gender, race, creed, and colour.
When this flicker of knowing begins to surface, we will experience what is known as 'a crisis of faith' or 'a dark night of the soul'. The very foundation upon which humanity has functioned is being called in to question. When your foundation has cracks, your life as you know it stands a very good chance of tumbling down.
I want to help you if your foundation is beginning to crack. In the last decade I dismantled my house built on a shifting foundation and rebuilt on beliefs which feel rooted in truth. I don't have all the answers, but I can take your (metaphorical) hand and share what has worked for me so far.
I'm not rooted in this truth every minute of every day. It's a struggle to leave outdated, ingrained beliefs behind and hold on to something which still feels fragile, but it is getting easier to own….
I AM a spark of the divine
I AM beautiful and worthy
I AM free to create the life I want to manifest
The same is true for you!
If you are in a situation in your life where you aren't as happy as you could or should be, that's your signal…it's time for some inner work. I can provide support and tools to help you. Make sure you have left your name and email on the top right hand side of the page. It's time to own this truth of who you are… I am more than I have been led to believe. I am worthy of more than I am experiencing.
Wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, designer, career counselor…these are the hats I wore. Some I have discarded. Some I have kept. In the process, I designed tools to help build a solid foundation for this heart centred life. I hope they will serve as useful tools when you are building what is true for you.

I went into Labor on Mother's day, I woke up about 7am and was having some very mild contractions so i went back to sleep. Woke back up to start my day about 9 or 10, they were still very mild. I didn't do much at all the rest of the day, just lie in bed and watch t.v they might have been mild but still uncomfortable. I tryed to get sleep in here and there, but just wasn't happening so around 8pm we went out to eat (Chinese) that and walking i think really kicked my labor in the butt and really got things going. We got home around 10pm, i took a bath thinking maybe it would relax me a little cause now the contractions were starting to hurt. I would have to stop and hold my stomach every time i got one, after my bath i watched a little more t.v before trying to sleep around 11pm. But was awoken ever 10 mins cause of contractions i some how manged to get to 2 am like that before i said to heck with it and go to the hosp. When we got there i was already a 5cm, but now the contractions were ever min apart. 3am she comes to check me and im still 5cm, so i ask for my epi about 3:30 he comes in and i get it in and im so happy no more pain... about 4:30am she checks me again cause the pain was starting to come back, and i was a 7-8cm and i was yelling at the nurse to give me more meds cause i couldn't take the pain anymore it was getting worse, only to find out within a matter of mins i was a 10..and ready to push. Took the doctor seemed like forever to get upstairs but he finally did, and within 2 pushes i had my baby girl. I guess this is rare but when she was born her cord was very very short so they couldn't even lay her on my belly when she was born they had to cut it right off, and then put her on me. So daddy got to miss out on that.

The Fashion Files… WWEW – What Would Erin Wear?
Okay. I know. This is my first Fashion Files post since like forever! However, I do have explanations for my absence. Besides the fact that I have been writing as though my Muse has suddenly taken over my body, I generally tend to lean toward fewer postings during the second half of the year. Time constraints, book releases, social engagements, neglected yard work (so guilty on this one)… the list could go on and on, so I won't prolong the list of excuses any longer than I have to.
What brought me out of my styling slump was this gorgeous plaid shirt dress by LE3NO.com! I'm not sure what I find so alluring about plaids this year, but I cannot get enough of the trend. I've even started collecting plaid dresses like the ones featured in this week's post.
Yet, the good thing about being committed to all my lovely life things over the past few weeks is that the blog benefits all the more from the juicy stories I now have to tell and the photos I've taken from all the real-life experience I've been able to gather. Which brings me to the outfit featured in this special edition of the Fashion Files. I have labeled this week's Polyvore creation as WWEW, What Would Erin Wear, after the fictional fashion designer and star of my Musical Interlude Series, Erin Angelo.
If you've read the any of the books in this series, then you'll know Erin is spunky, talented, fiercely independent, yet totally in love with her sexy Maestro, Aleksandr Dostov. Erin's legacy will live on long after I've moved on to publishing my next novels. So, it is to Erin I dedicate this week's Fashion Files set. I suspect you'll be treated to many more of her weekend ideas in the next few weeks.
Items in this Set:
- Women's Button Down Plaid Shirt Dress $39.00 LE3NO.com

Before a candidate starts his/her Bank Exam Preparation, understanding the pattern and sections of the exam are important. The exam has two phases – Preliminary exam and Main exam. Once they clear both the exams, candidates will be eligible for group discussion and interview.
Phase 1- Preliminary ExamThe preliminary exam is the first step of the SBI PO exam. It's an online objective test of 100 marks for a duration of 1 hour. Only the candidates who qualify for this exam will be shortlisted for the main examination. It consists of 3 sections- English language, Quantitative Aptitude & Reasoning Ability.
Phase 2- Main ExamOnce candidates clear the preliminary exam, they are eligible to appear for the main exam. It's also an online exam with 200 marks for objective questions and 50 marks for the descriptive section.
How do I plan my Exam Preparation?The 3 main mantras to crack this exam are- Speed, Accuracy and Time Management. This will also help in choosing the easy questions first and not waste time with difficult ones. Smart work always has an edge compared to hard work.
Here's a brief plan on how you should be spending time the next 10 weeks for the SBI PO Exam. The first step is to cover the entire syllabus and give equal importance to all sections.
Quantitative Aptitude
Week 1
Simplification, Number series, squares, cubes, square & cube roots
Analytical Reasoning
Week 2
Averages & Alligations, Ratio & Proportions, Age based problems
Syllogism, Input- Output
Reading comprehension + Vocabulary Practice
Week 3
Profit & Loss, Simple & Compound interest, Speed, Time & distance, Time & Work
Blood relations, Coding- Decoding
Grammar and Sentence correction
Week 4
Probability, Mensuration, PnC
Direction sense, Logical inequalities
Para jumbles
Week 5
Data interpretation
Puzzle test, Sitting arrangement
Cloze test, fill in the blanks
Week 6
Quadratic equations
Ranking test, Mathematical equations
Sentence improvement
12-15 Full-length Mock tests + Analysis of each paper
(1-hour test- 2 hours' analysis)
The last 3 weeks are very crucial to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Focus on solving more mock papers once you complete the syllabus. More than taking up mock tests, analysis of each paper post the test results will make the difference. The more you practice, the better you will get in each of the sections. While analysing each mock paper, keep a book beside you and keep making notes of important shortcuts and points which can come in handy for revision just before exams.
There are enough online test links and books that you can refer for preparation. If you are looking to give it your best shot and focus fully on clearing the exam, it is advisable to join professional coaching institutes. TalentSprint is one such reputed institute which provides expert coaching for competitive exams. TalentSprint has a pool of experts who can guide you in the right direction and provide the required training to clear an exam.
Cracking SBI PO may not be a cake-walk, but with your committed efforts and a well-planned approach, it is definitely possible to crack the exam. Good luck!

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Amazon will announce a smartphone by June. What is notable about this smartphone is that it would display 3D content without the glasses being required. Amazon has, apparently, shown prototypes of its phone to developers in Seattle and San Francisco. The retailer plans to distribute the smartphone in September.
Amazon's smartphone is reported to pack retina-tracking technology, which will give a 3D effect. This kind of technology is said to be incorporated in the four front-facing cameras of the device.
The retina-tracking sensors could also be used for device interaction. This implies that, with a simple glance, the user could go over lists of messages and emails. Amazon's smartphone will supposedly run Fire, Amazon's Android operating system.
Amazon's handset is also reported to be able to take photos of shopping items and automatically order them via Amazon, but this hasn't yet been confirmed.
Amazon has reportedly been developing its smartphone for years, but the handset seems to--finally--be right around the corner. The e-commerce giant hasn't disclosed any details about the availability and pricing of its smartphone, so we simply have to wait until the launch date to find out.
Amazon has recently unveiled Fire TV, a streaming media set-top box, which gives users their own home theater experience.

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A Lady". A work of romantic fiction, better known as a comedy of manners, Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797, and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak. The philosophical resolution of the novel is ambiguous: the reader must decide whether sense and sensibility have truly merged.

We all carry around mental models of leadership. Those models — or mental maps — are often transparent to us. One of the great values of education, experience and reflection is to make our assumptions visible. Until we take that step and move closer to something like a hermeneutic of suspicion, we are merely colonized by what has gone before or what is, without any ability to stand apart and imagine a different future. Moreover, our current maps of leadership may prevent us from recognizing new forms of leadership as they arise. That makes change difficult.
I want to consider maps and models of leadership as social constructs that both empower us and hold us back. Then I'll use the work of Wilfred Drath to form a question about leadership and the potential of creative partnerships, collaboration across boundaries as founding missional engagement in our communities. This will have implications for the ongoing conversation about leadership and mission as well as for our practice of mission in a post-colonial and pluralistic landscape. Moreover, our ability to imagine a new way forward will determine our viability as a movement in this new location.
* * *
The dominant mental models of leadership in the west have been shaped by narratives about individuals, generally men, and generally white men. They offer incomplete understandings of how leadership works because they rest on a story compiled from a narrow set of voices and experiences. This has kept the public from recognizing and validating alternative models of leadership. The old adage: if you are a hammer, all you see is nails.
Theories of the last fifty years have done little to challenge our mental models. However, recent research on leadership, mostly done in applied psychology and management, has shifted its focus from defining leadership as a behavior, to defining it as a relationship, and in some cases as a communal process or activity. But most accounts of leadership still tend to emphasize traits, styles and contingency theories in an effort to formulate what makes X rather than Y a "good leader."
Joseph Rost, at the University of San Diego, remarks that these theories of leadership reflect the values and assumptions of the industrial model of organizing that has dominated the 20th century. They have been "management oriented, personalistic in focusing only on the leader, goal-achievement-dominated, self-interested and individualistic in outlook, male-oriented, utilitarian and materialistic in ethical perspective, rationalistic, technocratic, linear, quantitative and scientific in language and methodology" (1993, p. 27).
This list is in striking contrast with a post-industrial sensibility. Rost lists among these "collaboration, common good, global concern, diversity and pluralism in structures and participation, client orientation, civic virtues, freedom of expression in all organizations, critical dialogue, qualitative language and methodologies, substantive justice, and consensus-oriented policy-making process" (1993, p.181). A few years ago I read Drath and Paulus and their monograph, Making Common Sense (1994). They write that the old understanding of leadership rested on a set of assumptions about human nature and motivation. The dominance-cum-social-influence view assumes that humans are naturally at rest and that they need a motivation force to get them going. The meaning-making view assumes that people are naturally in motion, always doing something, and that they need, rather than motivation to act, frameworks within which their actions make sense.
The mind only takes pictures
using the film with which it is loaded. R. Rohr
This view.. or map.. developed by Drath and Paulus is constructivist. Opina and Schell write that they are particularly interested in constructivist theories. That is,
"the work of leadership theorists who recognize that as members of society we construct our social world together. This occurs, these constructionists assert, by assigning meanings to our interactions and to the products of those interactions, a process we call meaning making. According to constructionists, human behavior must be understood by taking the point of view of those experiencing it, because they are the ones that give meaning to that experience, as it takes place in a precise context. We believe that constructionism is a valuable resource for understanding leadership, because it suggests that leadership, as a form of human behavior, is a social construct. In order to understand leadership with these lenses, we can observe leadership as something that emerges as people make sense out of their every day lives, rather than merely observing the individual who is given or takes the role of a leader. (Perspectives on Leadership, 2001)
Opina and Schell admire the work of Drath and Paulus. One of the advantages of this alternate map is that we can separate the power dynamic from authority. Drath and Paulus write, "When we no longer see dominance and social influence as the basic activities of leadership, we no longer think of people in terms of leaders and followers. Instead, we can think of leadership as a process in which an entire community is engaged. This enables us to disentangle power and authority from leadership. Authority is a tool for making sense of things, but so are other human tools such as values and work systems."
More recently Wilfred Paulus wrote, The Deep Blue Sea: Rethinking the Source of Leadership. In this work Paulus proposes that leadership is a process related to shared work and shared purpose, and that there are three leadership principles that arise from this understanding. We always work out of one of these three assumptions about leadership and its ends. (I'll get to some implications for the survival of the church at the close – the dominant working principle that we choose in our faith communities really will help or hinder us in this postmodern location, where complexity is skyrocketing and narratives are local).
The first principle is personal dominance. The leader assimilates differing worldviews where they exist, and bends or blends them together in order to create the capacity to accomplish a task. The wider the difference in worldview, the less likely that personal dominance can assimilate them, which leads to limits to the capacity of the first principle to make sense of leadership in certain contexts.
The second principle is interpersonal influence. This principle increases the range of differences that can be included in the leadership process by allowing a negotiation of influence that results in the identification of a person whose view is wide enough of flexible enough to accommodate different views. Differences are retained, but they are relativized in relation to an encompassing view.
But what happens in a context in which worldviews are held as equally important and equally valid? What happens in a truly pluralistic context where what is not wanted is the assimilation of the accommodation of some views to a controlling or encompassing viewpoint? In other words, what happens when traditional boundaries have collapsed and interaction and even decision making is occurring on a global scale? How then will leadership tasks be accomplished?
This is the question that interests Drath in The Deep Blue Sea, and this question should interest us also as we increasingly imagine mission in the context of the kingdom and not merely the church (and four walls) and as Christendom becomes history. As our relational networks expand and as we begin to imagine new and creative partnerships for community transformation that cross traditional boundaries, we also need to reimagine leadership.
How do we genuinely invite collaboration across boundaries of faith and philosophy?
How do we generate learning conversations across cultural barriers?
How do we genuinely welcome the other, so that we can continue to learn and benefit by wider knowledge and experience?
Drath argues that "leadership development in a community or organization is the process of developing the capacity of the whole to make leadership happen for everyone, no matter how any individual person makes sense of leadership." Compare this direction in making sense of leadership to the work of Peter Block in community building – transformation of neighbourhoods versus transformation of individuals. The focus moves from individuals and their competencies or efforts to the whole. The view is holistic, having much more in common with "shalom," and has shifted from an inward focus to outward.
Drath notes that this "third principle" does not clearly exist yet, but is on the horizon and is intuited by many who work in contexts where there are multiple worldviews. Drath writes that bringing this third principle into being will require three approaches.

I checked my Google analytics on my web site. It was easy! Of course there wasn't much information to parse from four visitors. So I abandoned the depressing news and turned back to filling the blog and web site no one visits.
Writing for my blog is like keeping my house clean for guests. I may not entertain anyone this week, but the effort makes the house more pleasant for me. And should someone drop by, I can invite them in without worrying that the laundry is covering the couch, last night dishes are still on the dinning table and dust balls the size of tumble weeds are rolling down the hall.
What writers are often told is: Set up a blog! That's the answer! It will help your analytics! Google will find you! Well . . .
The act of the web site and blog, the doing of it and the discipline of it, helps keep me on my toes and keeps me writing. For that, the blog serves its purpose. And yes, if you start up a blog and then don't keep it up, those time stamps will get you. So like vacuuming, you need to keep up the damn thing even if no one visits, because like your mother said, keep the house clean, you just never know.
If I really wanted more hits, I'd post videos of kittens.

IN RE SHAHRAM MOSTAFAZADEH AND JOSEPH O. SMITH , 2010-1260, Decided: May 3, 2011, Before DYK, FRIEDMAN, and PROST, Circuit Judges
Stephen G. Adrian and Shuji Yoshizaki | May 19, 2011
Appeal from a decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences ("Board"). The Board affirmed the Examiner's rejection of claims 11–23 in the applicants' reissue patent application. In re Mostafazadeh, No. 2009-004238 (B.P.A.I. Aug. 27, 2009) because the reissue application impermissibly attempted to recapture subject matter surrendered during prosecution of the original patent application. CAFC affirms the Board's decision.
The rule against recapture applies to reissue applications. Essentially, a patentee may not broaden the scope of a particular claim limitation if he had earlier narrowed that claim limitation during prosecution of the original application. This rule applies even during the first two years of a patent's life during which a broadening reissue would otherwise be allowed.
U.S. Patent Number 6,034,423 ("the '423 patent"), which issued in 2000, is generally directed to lead frame based semiconductor packaging.
Originally filed claim 1 covered both embodiments illustrated in Fig. 1 (pin-type) and Fig. 2 (bottom-mount type):
In an integrated circuit package, a lead frame comprising:
a die attach platform;
a plurality of elongated leads which are electrically isolated from said die attach platform; and
a first bus bar which is electrically isolated from said die attach platform and said plurality of elongated leads.
In response to a prior art rejection showing a pin-type embodiment, claim 1 was amended to require circular attachment pads of the bottom-mount embodiment:
An integrated circuit package comprising:
(a) a lead frame comprising:
a die attach platform; and
a plurality of elongated leads which are electrically isolated from said die attach platform, each of said elongated leads including a circular portion formed as an attachment pad; and
(b) a substrate, having first and second surfaces on opposite sides of said substrate, for providing rigid support to said lead frame, said substrate contacting said lead frame on said first surface and having vias of non-circular cross sections to allow electrical connections between said first and second surfaces.
In the Remarks of the above amendment, it was argued that neither the circular pads nor their attendant benefits were disclosed or suggested by the prior art.
Reissue claim 11 is illustrative of the scope sought in the reissue application:
An integrated circuit package comprising:
a lead frame including a die attach platform, a plurality of contacts that are spaced apart from the die attach platform and a bus bar that is positioned between the die attach platform and at least some of the contacts, wherein bottom surfaces of the die attach platform, the contacts and the bus bar are substantially co-planar, and wherein each of the contacts includes a portion that forms an attachment pad;
a die carried by the die attach platform and electronically connected to the bus bar and at least some of the contacts; and
a protective casing covering the die and the lead frame while leaving bottom surfaces of the die attach platform, the bus bar and the conductive contacts ex-posed, wherein encapsulation material that forms the protective casing is exposed at a bottom surface of the package to physically isolate the bus bar from at least some of the conductive contacts, whereby the attachment pads are exposed at the bottom surface of the package.
Application of the recapture rule is a three step process. In re Clement, 131 F.3d 1464, 1468(Fed. Cir. 1997). The first step is to "determine whether and in what 'aspect' the reissue claims are broader than the patent claims." Clement, 131 F.3d at 1468. "[A] reissue claim that deletes a limitation or element from the patent claims is broader" with respect to the modified limitation. Id. Next, the court must "determine whether the broader aspects of the reissue claims relate to surrendered subject matter." In this final step, the court must "determine whether the surrendered subject matter has crept into the reissue claim."
Both parties agree that the reissue claims are broader than the patented claims and that the broader aspects relate to the surrendered subject matter (i.e., the circular-attachment-pad limitation). Thus, only the third step of the recapture analysis is at issue. Here, it is important to look at the original claims before surrender, the patented claims after surrender, and the reissue claims.
As highlighted above, the applicants added "a circular portion as an attachment pad" to gain allowance. In the reissue application, this limitation was amended as "a portion that forms an attachment pad."
Applicants argue that recapture is avoided in two ways. First, although the circular shape requirement was eliminated, applicants argue that the retained attachment pad limitation was maintained in a manner which narrows in a manner germane to the prior art. This argument fails because only a partial recapture is insufficient without a corresponding demonstration of material narrowing, especially where an attachment pad was well known in the art.
Second, applicants argue that the reissue claims each have a number of other narrowing limitations to the surrendered subject matter. This argument also fails because the narrowing is related to the bus bar, not the circular attachment pad.
The applicants in the present decision may have been able to reach a different result if claims directed to the pin-type and bottom mount type embodiments in Figs. 1 and 2 were presented in the reissue application. However, since the original claim was directed to both embodiments, the narrowing amendment to avoid the pin-type prior art may have likely foreclosed the use of such strategy, particularly since the amendment to the circular portion was specific to the bottom-mount embodiment.

 I'm seeing this same problem on a PVR-500 card. Sometimes I can fix
 the problem by switching inputs, sometimes I can't. I've also found
 that regular images seem to work better, but if there's any kind of
 video overlay (ie. a news ticker, a persons name, etc).

 I had just figured that the card had gone bad and was actually
 thinking of getting a replacement of some sort, but after seeing this,
 I'm wondering if maybe it is something else.

Last night I found this thread:
 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-525782.html

Bottom line is I disabled VBI Closed Captioning and all cards are recording perfectly. In retrospect I think my problem was worse on certain content as well (e.g. talking heads or tickers).

Actually one of my cards that has the problem is a PVR-500 as well, its tuner type is:
 tveeprom 3-0050: tuner model is Philips FQ1236A MK4 (idx 92, type 57)

The cards that seem to do fine even with the closed captions have:
 tveeprom 2-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 50)

Cheers,
John

A random variable is a value which takes different values with certain probabilities. Per math convention, random variables are capital letters while values random variables may equal have lower case letters. Deeper questions like "what is probability" may be addressed in a future post.
Suppose you have a random variable that can take any of the following values:
Working through the first line, there is a chance that will equal . The product of these two figures, is known as a "partial expectation." The sum of all partial expectations, is known as the expected value of , or .
For discrete random variables (which can take a finite number or countably infinite number of values), this is denoted.
Where is the probability of scenario occurring, and is the value of scenario . Examples of discrete random variables include the number of days a stock will increase in a row, the number of deposits in a bank account in a month or the sum of two rolled dice. Note that the first two are theoretically infinite.
For continuous random variables (which can take an infinite number of values), expected value is denoted as:
Where (the probability . Examples of continuous random variables include the earnings of a company, the dollar value of deposits in a month or the time until someone in a family flips over a Monopoly board. Note that the lattermost is only theoretically infinite.
So that's a mathematical explanation of expected value. What's an intuitive explanation?
The expected value of is the weighted average of across all possible scenarios where the weights are based on the probability of a scenario occurring. This isn't strictly accurate for the continuous case (since the probability of any specific individual outcome occurring is zero), but the intuition still applies.
Expected values are important because if you simulate an infinite number of times, then you will average a return of . This is important for valuation because if you believe a cash flow will be worth , then you will break even in the long run if you pay for it. If you need to make a profit to compensate yourself for opportunity cost, then you will have to pay less than .
In modern finance, diversification and securitization have made expected value an increasingly important concept since it is far easier to own a large number of assets. However, as far as valuation is concerned, it is worth pointing out that expected value is but the first "moment" that can be used to describe a distribution. Higher moments (such as variance, skewness and kurtosis) play an important role, especially in financial contexts when diversification is limited.
When valuing companies, it is standard practice to develop "best, worst, likely" scenarios and subjectively determine probabilities for each outcome. The company is then valued as the expected value of each of the three discounted cash flows. This is valid as long as the discount rate adequately covers the higher moment concerns I alluded to above.
Next, you can expect to see a post on the mathematical rules of working with expectations.

An April Shroud: Andy Dalziel in Love
Writers of series are often victims of their own success. They lay down the lines of their lead characters in the first book or two, and are then confined within those borders, not merely by rules of logic ("You said he had only two brothers") but also because series readers can get very testy if a writer tries to change things up.
Reginald Hill, astonishingly, managed to escape the trap. With each book in the "Dalziel and Pascoe" series, he expanded both his characters' characters and his own writerly paint-box. He said once that he had resolved early on to treat the series as a sort of scaffolding on which he could hang all the various kinds of novels he wanted to write – espionage, science fiction, historicals, etc. And it's really with An April Shroud that this experiment began.
The first twist comes up front, with the focus on Andy Dalziel. Who on earth would make Dalziel a protagonist? He's a rude, fat, balding bigot, hardly the kind of fellow with whom readers want to identify (and yet Hill's talent is such that by the end of the book, you may well have changed your tune). Then there's the setting: the classic English manor house, stuffed with a motley assortment of suspects- and victims-to-be. Who on earth would take that kind of setting, with its preciously crafted conventions, its dinner jackets and vicars and flighty ingénues, and set Andy Dalziel in the middle of things, the proverbial bull in a china shop?
Hill, apparently: With An April Shroud he created the improbable love-child of the traditional, Golden-Age country-house murder mystery and the tougher, edgier, more realistic cop drama ("police procedural" is the industry term) for which he was becoming known.
I use "love" advisedly, because onto this astonishing minotaur of a novel, Hill grafted a third genre: Romance. One could almost imagine Peter Pascoe as a romantic hero – young, fit, well educated — but instead, Hill sent Cupid to strike at Andy Dalziel's aging, flabby heart. Dalziel! Who on earth would want to heave that bulk into bed? Ah, and yet again, by the end of the book, you may well have changed your tune. As a pure technical tour de force, An April Shroud is a marvel. But as a character study, a portrait of a man we thought we knew, it's a joy. And it's also – rather rare among mysteries – genuinely uplifting. If the dreadful, sweaty Andy Dalziel can find love, if he can command love from the reader, well then, perhaps even the sweatiest among us has grounds for hope.

Print Recipe
Fry the cumin seeds to bring out the oils and the flavour, chop the garlic and skin the ginger and combine this with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
Add the natural yoghurt and lemon juice last and stir it in immediately otherwise it will curdle.
Chop the chicken into tikka pieces, which basically means chunks, add to the marinade and coat it thoroughly. Cover and leave to marinate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
To cook the chicken, pre-heat the grill. Place 4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer and grill until tender. To prevent the chicken sticking to the grill pan, try laying each end of the skewer on pieces of potato to raise the meat off the tray.
Serve with the masala sauce.
Alan's tips:
To chop garlic, roughly chop it first then place the chopped garlic on top of some salt, using the blade of a knife and a twisting action (as if riding a motorbike), squash the garlic into the salt, simply rev and go!
To remove the skin from ginger try taking a teaspoon and just scraping it along the skin. A very thin layer of skin will be removed. If you buy or have peeled too much ginger, simply wrap the peeled ginger in a freezer bag and freeze it. This will last for up to 3 months and each time you need ginger, simply grate it from frozen
Masala Sauce:
First make the ghee, also known as clarified butter, this is essential to Indian cooking and it's easy to make your own. All you need to do is take a knob of butter, place it into a heavy pan and melt it over a medium heat. Let the butter simmer for a few moments before taking it off the heat. You will be left with a sediment on the bottom of the pan, a clear golden liquid which is the ghee and finally a froth on the top. Skim off the froth and leave the remainder to cool for a few minutes. Then spoon off the golden ghee into a separate container leaving the sediment behind.
Heat the ghee in a medium saucepan and add the onions, stir in the onion and soften, but don't colour, for 3 - 5 minutes.
Then add the mustard seeds, chilli, garlic, tomato and coconut milk. Bring to the boil then simmer for 20 minutes and finally stir through the mint and coriander.
Puree in a liquidiser or food processor and serve with the chicken.

Re: Rain at WDW
Don't worry about it. Thunderstorms in the afternoon in Florida during the summer are standard. Most likely they will occur around 3PM for an hour or 2 and then be done. Don't let it ruin your vacation. There is still plenty of fun to have in the rain!It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!

Re: Rain at WDW
I wouldn't worry about it, like yoyoflamingo said we get afternoon/evening thunderstorms starting about 2-3pm. I'm a native born Floridian and I've lived in the Orlando area since 1975ish. We moved up here from Coral Gables when I was only two years old.
I believe the only rides that'll shut down for lightning are the outdoor rides like the Indy 500, both Dumbo rides, Astro Orbiters, BTMRR, SM, etc.
The most important things I can say is have plenty of patience, wear plenty of sunscreen, drink plenty of WATER, and above all, HAVE FUN!Current coaster count: 179
100th coaster: Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood
150th coaster: Intimidator at Carowinds
last new park addition: Six Flags Great America
Re: Rain at WDW
A good rule of thumb for this time of year is to do outdoor things first thing in the morning before it really heats up and save indoor shows and longer rides for that hot and rainy late afternoon time. If you're flexible on mealtimes, 3 or 4pm is usually a good time for a nice long sit-down meal - or if not, longer indoor things like the Country Bears, Philharmagic, Universe of Energy, Nemo/Crush, Great Movie Ride, Muppetvision, Nemo Musical, Festival of the Lion King, etc. If you're like me, a few August visits will also make that decision for the next trip to be in February much easier.
Re: Rain at WDW
As someone else posted, Florida thunderstorms usually roll in and out quickly. But if the forecast calls for rain all day, it's still not a problem. There are plenty of indoor attractions and activities. Also, if you brave the rain, the crowds usually dwindle and wait times are shorter. Just come prepared with clothing that drys out quickly and/or pack light ponchos.

Re: Rain at WDW
Bring some rainboots and keep smiling! I went to WDW in May for a week and it said it was supposed to rain and it didn't at all! not once! Weird! But I was prepared just in case.
Bring disposable rain ponchos- disposable is better because it is cheap and you can just toss it when your done instead of putting a wet poncho in your bag or something.
the characters are still out and greeting people but the location usually changes and all the rides are still functioning. The only thing you really ever do that is outside is walk, shop, and watch parades.
Now, I'm not sure if parades are cancelled or the fireworks are, I only know that certain stunts are not performed if the weather is bad.

You're coming from Seattle. I think you know what to do: get in your car and jam up traffic like every other Seattlite does!
Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet. Do not wear anything new that might have some runnable dye in it. Fold-up ponchos in ziplocs.
Re: Rain at WDW
When it rains is one of the best times because a lot of people leave the parks to go hide in their hotels. Play in the rain! Yeah the outdoor rides probably won't be running, but most of Disney's rides/attractions/shows are indoors. Most character meet & greets are indoors or under cover now too.
Summer is Florida's rainy season. I also suggest bookmarking the site below and checking it EVERY DAY. It's the 10 day WDW forecast. Seriously though, the weather forecast can change on a daily and sometimes hourly basis down here. Basically our state motto should be: "Don't like the weather? Wait 15 minutes."
