When I was a Girl Scout, my mom highly encouraged me to write a Thank You note to every person who bought at least a box of cookies from me, explaining my appreciation for their support of my goals. One year, I decided to get creative and add a GS cookie recipe to each Thank You note--I did try to include a recipe for at least one of the varieties that person had purchased. Amazingly, this had an unintended effect of boosting my sales, as many of my customers decided to buy extra boxes to try out the attached recipe.
Encourage your Girl Scout to find her own creative inspiration this cookie season. Have her consider the option of personalized Thank You notes for her customers.
Please share your GS cookie recipes in the comments section of this post. Those who share before Dec. 31st will be entered in a drawing for a special cookie prize, so share your secret recipes today!

Here's a time filler game that can be creative and fun!
Follow the Rules:
All players sit in a circle. One person selected to be It
stands away from the group. The players remaining in the circle choose a rule
to use while answering questions. The rule can be hard or simple depending on
those playing. For example: Answer questions as if you were an alien, or,
players must scratch their heads or yawn before answering. When the person who
is It comes back, she must find out the rule by asking players questions about
themselves. The person trying to guess the rule is allowed to take as long as
she needs. If it takes too long, players can help by exaggerating the response
the rule calls for. (The Incredible Indoor Games Book, pg. 52).
Tune in next week for a craft idea that will excite your crowds!

Well we have reached another milestone. We have over 100 new volunteers for Region 3! Let's do a quick review of who needs to complete the application process!
So we know all Adult Girl Scout volunteers are to be registered and receive an appointment letter prior to working with the girls.
We know any Adult Girl Scout volunteers who handle the girl finances or product sales must be registered and receive an appointment letter.
Are there any exceptions? Yes
1) A presenter who will never be alone with the girls. No additional paperwork required.
2) An Episodic volunteer – someone who will volunteer only once
a. Authorizes the background check
b. Completes the application
c. Encouraged to register as Girl Scout
d. Complete a position description
e. Must receive an appointment letter or approval prior to meeting with the girls.
3) A parent who may sit in the back of the room during a meeting because it's just to far to travel.
a. I would always encourage theses parents to register and go through the appointment process but if they are not willing-we can let it go.
With all that being said I hope that you all join us at the Region 3 Cookie Rally! We rock!
Yes, you guessed it …I'm looking for volunteers!

Many of you have been asking for the pumpkin chili recipe used at Shingobee and Sanderson's Fall Festivities and Haunted Harvest (as well as shared at some other regional meetings). Here it is: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Pumpkin-Chili. Enjoy it! This is a great time of year to use it.

Noodle Doodles:
Give each girl a peice of paper, a writing utensil, and something hard on which to write (nothing that you would mind if it was accidentally written on--perhaps a stack of newspapers or a paper plate). Instruct girls to place the paper on the hard surface, and the hard surface onto their heads. Either show the girls a picture that you want them to recreate, or verbally give them the name of an object to draw. They will draw on the paper that is on top of their heads. When finished, get ready for the laughter as the pictures are sure to be interesting.
Have you used any of the games, songs and activities you've learned from the Songs & Games Training, S'more Fun Training, or a regional or Service Unit Meeting? How did it go? Did your girls find a new favorite or did you find a flop? Share your stories so that others can learn what's working with girls today.
Toys for Tots Support:
Several of you have told us about your wonderful holiday season service ideas and activities. Be sure to take a few minutes to add your tally of service at this site http://sharejoy.generationon.org/, hosted by generationOn and Hasbro who have joined forces to donate a toy to Toys for Tots for every youth who particpates in a seasonal act of service until December 18th. The deadline is approaching and it's a wonderful opportunity to make your service have twice the impact!

Greetings fine Leaders of Region 3,
You've been asking for it, and I am here to deliver--Tuesday Program Tips. Tune in each week to learn a new program tip or trick--including songs, games, crowd pleasers, and behavior management tools. I encourage you to post the outcome of using these tips (example: "I played "Bite the Bag" with troop #0150, and they loved it! Here's a picture of one of our craziest moments!" or "I cooked the "Pumpkin Chili" reciepe with the girls in SU 007 at our Fall Festival, and we decided the reciepe gets better if you add a tsp of paprika."). If you've got something to share, we'd love to see it. Feel free to post it here or e-mail it to me, Jessica, mailto:email@example.com.
Selecting Games:
· Be sure the games are appropriate for the age, experience and physical condition of the girls.
· Begin with familiar games that are quickly learned, and then move on to more complex games.
Games for Large Groups: Alphabetical Circle
Everybody stands in a circle, go around the circle and say your name. Go around twice: clockwise and counter-clockwise. Now circle up alphabetically by first initial of first name without talking. (Youth Leadership in Action. Pg. 126-127)
Tune in next time for more information on selecting games, and the instructions to "Noodle Doodles"--a creative time filler activity.

What a whirlwind of a fall it's been. We 've transitioned through SU Fall Kick-Off, Registrations Nights, Parent Meetings, Fall Product Sale, Training and of course the Appointment Process-you know the paper work that goes along with becoming a volunteer. Many of you are scanning the Program Guide with your girls checking our Programming options or deciding with your girls which Journey Book best suits them. At your local SU Meetings you are deciding who will be your delegates at the Annual Meeting in Duluth representing your local Girl Scouts.
I have had the pleasure to travel across our Region and meet many of our volunteers and frankly you have taken to heart my strong encouragement of building a troop committee to support your troops and your Service Unit (SU). I've had some of you e mail me and tell me to check my phone there must be something wrong as it's always busy…it's been busy alright. We are facing a wonderful problem – we have a lot of new volunteers. I tallied my book last night and the last count was 91 new volunteers in Region 3 and the number is continuing to increase daily!
Our functional Volunteer Specialist Team will continue to refine our process and increase our efficiency. You can help us by filling in the blanks on the forms and providing e mail contacts for references when possible as this does speed up the process. If you have questions please ask us as we are here to serve you our volunteers. Keep building your troop and SU teams and take a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to have so many people willing to volunteer for our girls to empower them and help develop their leadership skills. We will help them develop their courage, confidence and character to be able to dream and believe that their dreams can come true and to be true to themselves. Along the way we'll provide fun with a purpose and create our own remarkable journey.
Regional Day of training for R03 is on our website- regsitration deadline is Nov 12th
Thank you for volunteering for Girl Scouts for taking time from your busy lives to make a difference in another girls life.

Book By Teen With Cystic Fibrosis Becomes National Bestseller
Los Angeles-based 15-year-old Claire Wineland's memoir, "Every Breath I Take: Surviving and Thriving with Cystic Fibrosis", is now an Amazon bestseller. Claire, who has lived with cystic fibrosis all of her life, co-authored the book, which was released just a few months ago, with Chynna Bracha Levin.
"Every Breath I Take" explains how to live as normal a life as possible while taking care of a condition that requires constant treatment and frequent hospitalization. "I believe in making the best of what life gives you," Wineland says.
All proceeds from the book will be donated to the foundation Claire founded in 2010, Claire's Place Foundation, a non-profit organization designed to help children and families affected by Cystic Fibrosis. To read more about the foundation and make a donation, visit the website (http://www.clairesplacefoundation.org), which has generously been hosted by BlitzMetrics at no cost to the foundation.
Her now bestseller book joins her extensive series of videos and an informational website to carry Claire's message on how to survive and thrive with CF. With a large social media following and frequent TV appearances including ABC's "Everyday Health", Wineland continues to find new ways to spread her message of hope, spirituality and gratitude to fellow sufferers, their families, and teens everywhere.
About the Book
What is it like being a child with a life-threatening illness? It can be difficult for parents, family, and friends to understand, because the experience of serious illness is so hard to articulate. Claire Wineland's memoir, "Every Breath I Take", is co-authored with Chynna Bracha Levin, daughter of celebrity ghost writer Michael Levin. In the often poignant, sometimes humorous book, Claire describes with precision, honesty, and a remarkable sense of humor just what it's like to live with an illness that is so often fatal. "Every Breath I Take" depicts Claire staying positive while dealing with daily treatment routines, frequent hospitalization and painful procedures. Yet there's nothing grim about Claire's journey as she describes it. Claire finds the sunny side of life and the spirituality of her experiences in ways that captivate and amaze the reader. It's impossible to come away from the book without a renewed sense of compassion and sensitivity toward anyone suffering from a serious illness. The book is required reading for anyone-adult or child-who wants to understand how to survive and thrive, under even the most challenging circumstances.

Samsung Windows 8 Preview PC Hands-on: The Future of Tablets?
CREDIT: Laptopmag.com
The Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC is kind of like the anti-iPad. And we're not complaining. The Live Tile interface is more dynamic. You can write on it with a pen. And it boots even faster. But you can't buy this slate. It was designed to let developers sink their teeth into Windows 8 to start cranking out apps.
Powered by a second-gen Core i5 processor, the Samsung Developer Preview PC also comes with a host of accessories, including a Bluetooth keyboard and docking station. We spent some time with this device to get a taste of Windows 8 and to see how the hardware stacks up to other slates we've tested.
Read on to get the specs and our hands-on impressions of this exciting preview hardware. And don't forget to check out our videos and massive Windows 8 gallery.
Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC Specs
CPU: 1.6-GHz 2nd Generation Intel Core i5-2467M
Memory: 4GB of RAM
Display: 11.6-inch Samsung Super PLS 1366 x 768
Storage: 64GB SSD
Wireless: 802.11n, AT&T 3G
Ports: microSD, microHDMI, USB, headphone
Weight: 2 pounds
Thickness: .5 inches
Design and Hardware
It's a good thing that this is a Preview PC, because we don't imagine many people schlepping around this tablet. While the 11.6-inch screen is bright and offers wide viewing angles, the device is too heavy to use comfortably for extended periods. At 2 pounds, the Developer Preview PC weighs much more than the iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1.3 pounds). It's also .2 inches thicker. Also, while the back has a nice brushed metal look, the left side creaked in our hand when we picked the slate up.
The front of the Windows 8 Preview PC sports a single Home button, and the right side houses the power button and a screen lock button, along with a SIM Card slot. A full-size USB port, headphone jack, volume controls, microHDM port, and power jack line the left side. Up top you'll find the microSD slot, and there's a docking connector and stereo speakers down below. The tablet comes with front- and back-facing cameras, but only the front camera seemed to be working (which we could use to update our user tile photo).
Touch Experience and Metro UI
The Samsung Developer Preview PC proved responsive when navigating the Metro UI with a finger and when using touch-friendly apps like the IE 10 browser. Moving an app is as easy as pressing and holding it with one finger and then panning around the screen to find a a home for it with another finger. We also appreciate the ability to snap applications to either side of the display for side-by-side multitasking.
However, if our left thumb touched the screen (just for holding the device) while using our right finger to get around, the menus would sometimes scroll wildly. We're assuming this issue will be fixed. Pinch to zoom worked fluidly in the browser; it was almost too fast. Copy and paste worked fairly well, too. We just tapped the screen then dragged two circles to highlight the text we wanted to copy.
Some features are not yet working on this platform, such as Semantic Zoom. This allows you to zoom out on the homescreen to easily move groups of apps around and rename them.
Using touch in Desktop mode was a challenge in the preview version of Windows 8 on this device. While Microsoft has improved the accuracy, you need to double tap to open items and the touch keyboard doesn't pop up automatically when touch a text field (like the address bar in the desktop version of IE 10). Tapping small links is also problematic, so most will want to stick with a mouse and keyboard or pen in this mode.
The Windows 8 Developer Preview PC comes with a host of touch-friendly apps that run at full screen, including Stocks, Weather, and Headlines (News). All of these apps sport a sleek Metro UI that's reminiscent of Windows Phone. We especially like the ability to create a mash-up of news stories in the Headlines app using the Magazinify feature. Tweet@rama is another well-designed app that lets you see your Twitter timeline on the left and post updates in the middle of the screen.
Other fun diversions include Zero Gravity, a puzzle game involving a space ship, Paintplay (finger painting), Piano (what it sounds like), and Picstream (streaming photos from Flickr). We also like the Flash Cards app, which is great for kids.
What's missing at this stage are some core apps that tie into Microsoft's cloud services, such as Calendar, People, Photos, and Messaging.
Performance and Battery Life
No, this is not a tablet you can buy, but we were curious to see how well the Preview PC stacks up to other Windows devices. In Geekbench, which measures overall CPU performance, the Core k5-powered Samsung tablet scored 2,932, which is above the ultraportable notebook category average (2,476). As a point of comparison, the ViewSonic ViewPad 10 Windows/Android tablet, which has a 1.6-GHz Atom CPU, notched a lowly 890 on the same test.
There is a price for this speed, however. The Samsung Developer Preview PC has a very large and loud fan that constantly hummed in the background. Granted, this slate is just for preview/development purposes, but the noise is very distracting. On a few occasions the Samsung device became unresponsive, so we had to reboot the machine, but that's to be expected with such early hardware and software.
Thanks to some major improvements under the hood, Windows 8 devices will boot much faster than Windows 7 PCs. In our tests the Samsung Preview PC took about 17 seconds to go from a cold start to the lock screen, which is pretty impressive. It took the device a couple of 2-3 seconds to wake from sleep, however, slower than the instant-on feel of the iPad and Android-based tablets. Hopefully this time will improve as we get closer to launch.
We didn't have a chance to test the Preview PC's battery life yet, but we suspect that it will last 4 to 5 hours based on anecdotal usage. ARM-based tablets and slates using Intel's upcoming system on a chip should offer much better endurance.
Touch Input and Pen Computing
The stylus isn't dead yet. The Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC came with an optional stylus, which you can use for navigation but also in pen-optimized apps like Ink Pad. You can take notes, make highlights, and convert your scribbles to text. The inking capability was smooth in our tests, much more fluid than the HTC Flyer. We could also use the pen in Paintplay app for more colorful projects. What Windows 8 needs is Livescribe-like app that combines written notes with voice recording.
Here's a look at the Windows 8 touch keyboard and pen input.
In addition to a digital pen, the Samsung Preview PC came with a Bluetooth keyboard and docking station, both of which complement each other well. The keyboard was easy to pair with the tablet, and it offered good tactile feedback, though sometimes it took the device a few seconds to catch up to our strokes. The dock includes an additional USB port, HDMI output, Ehternet connectivty, and power. It props up the slate so that this device feels more like a laptop when you use the dock and keyboard together.
Bottom Line
Is the Sasmung Developer Preview PC the future of tablets? Certainly not in terms of its design. It's just too heavy and large for most people to tote around. In addition, the fan got annoyingly loud, which is what happens when you try to cram a Core i5 CPU into a slate. Focusing on the hardware this early in the game though is a mistake, because we expect much lighter and more efficient Windows 8 tablets to surface before launch.
The good news is Microsoft's Metro interface looks sleek and works pretty well even at this early stage of the game. And it will get much better once Windows Live-connected apps become available to preview. The full-screen apps also show promise, though we'd like to see what happens when big-name developers throw their full weight behind the platform.
However, we got thrown off every time we entered desktop mode. It's just not the same experience as the Metro UI, and it's not nearly as touch friendly at this stage.
In short, the Samsung Developer Preview PC is a solid first step for Windows 8, but there's still a lot of progress that needs to be made.

Refrigerators & Freezers
Sun Frost refrigerators are the most energy-efficient upright refrigerators available. They keep food fresher longer by maintaining high humidity, which prevents freezer burn and wilting caused by water loss in food. Defrosting is seldom needed: frost buildup is extremely slow because water vapor in the refrigerator section from moist room air or food is not transformed into ice. When defrosting is needed, usually once or twice a year, just transfer frozen food to the refrigerator section and turn it off for 30 minutes. Ice quickly falls off the smooth flat surfaces in large pieces.
The Sun Frost refrigerator comes finished on the outside with white laminate, but it can be ordered in natural wood or any of over 100 colors or shades of Formica or Nevamar to match kitchen decor. The spacious, well-lit interior, made from sturdy fiberglass reinforced plastic, is easy to clean. There are no exposed ducts, tubing or hard to reach corners. All of the shelves are adjustable.
The Sun Frost refrigerator should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation. The only moving part is a hermetically sealed compressor. The brushless motor used in the DC models eliminates periodic servicing.
Low-voltage DC models: Energy use listed in the table below is for 12 VDC. On 24 VDC systems the same amount of energy is used (half as many amp-hours per day).
When ordering, please specify whether you want the hinge on the left or right. If a color is not specified, the Sun Frost comes in white Formica. (For a different color or a natural wood veneer, add $150.) Sun Frost refrigerators are also available without a finish, with unfinished birch plywood, ready for custom covering by your cabinetmaker. Prices include crating charge. Sun Frost refrigerators are shipped by truck freight. All Sun Frost refrigerators are custom made so delivery times will vary. Call for exact lead time. 2-year warranty.
The Sun Frost is so outstandingly energy efficient, it makes powering a home with photovoltaics or other low output energy sources both feasible and affordable. Even in a home using conventional utility power, energy consumption for refrigeration is typically cut by a factor of four!
In addition to unrivaled energy efficiency, Sun Frost offers other amenities not found in conventional refrigerators, such as food-saving, high humidity storage, ultra-quiet operation and an easy-to-clean interior.
Every Sun Frost is custom crafted, and can be finished with a number of laminates or wood finishes.
Sun Frost RF19, R19, and F19
These refrigerators and freezers are our largest models, and all have two equal sized compartments.
The Sun Frost RF19: The Sun Frost RF19: one compartment is a refrigerator and the other a freezer. The RF19 can be ordered with the freezer on the top or on the bottom. The freezer is twice as large as the freezer in the RF16; however, the refrigerator compartment is slightly smaller. The RF19 often eliminates the need to buy a separate freezer. Like the RF16 this model is typically mounted on a 13-inch high cabinet. The RF19 uses two quiet and highly efficient fans to cool the exterior cooling coils.
The Sun Frost R19: is a refrigerator-only model with two equal-sized refrigerator sections. It does not need defrosting and incorporates a passive (no fans) cooling system.
The Sun Frost F19: is our largest freezer-only unit. It has two equal-sized compartments incorporating two independently controlled cooling systems. One compartment may be turned off to conserve energy when its storage space is not required. It uses the same fans as the RF19 to cool its cooling coils.
The SUN FROST refrigerator employs an array of design innovations to achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The cooling system on the SUN FROST is top mounted. This configuration reduces energy consumption several ways. The heat generated by the compressor and condenser (black coils on the back of many refrigerators) does not re-enter the refrigerator and also with a cooler running condenser, the efficiency of the cooling system is increased.
The Sun Frost RF-19 and F-19 use a quiet and highly efficient fan to help cool the condenser; on other models, the condensers are cooled passively. Because of the efficient design of the Sun Frost, the compressors used are much smaller and produce correspondingly less noise than those found on a conventional refrigerator. These features make the Sun Frost much quieter than a conventional AC refrigerator.
Defrosting a Sun Frost is a simple process. Frost build-up in the SUN FROST freezer is very slow because there is no air circulating between the freezer and refrigerator sections. The ice which forms in the freezer collects primarily on the ceiling. When defrosting the freezer section, the contents of the freezer may be transferred to the refrigerator section so they remain frozen. After the refrigerator has been turned off for about twenty minutes, the ice is easily removed in large pieces. There is no mop-up because the ice does not need to be melted, only separated from the flat ceiling.
Sun Frost refrigerators keep food fresher by maintaining high humidity. This prevents freezer burn and wilting caused by water loss in food. Since there is minimal water loss in foods stored in a Sun Frost, foods often last two to three times longer than in conventional refrigerators. In typical refrigerators, water, which is part of stored food, is transformed into ice on the freezer's cooling coils. This process results in the dehydration of fruits and vegetables, increases energy consumption, and accelerates frost build-up. In a conventional refrigerator, high humidity is achieved by storing food in airtight containers which creates high humidity conditions, but cuts off the food's oxygen supply. Without oxygen, plant cells break down more rapidly, which decreases shelf life. The SUN FROST allows you to store food in breathable containers, such as paper bags, often more than doubling storage life.
The Sun Frost refrigerator typically reduces refrigerator energy consumption by a factor of five. The accompanying cost of the solar power system is similarly reduced. The SUN FROST RF-16 12 volt DC model consumes 20 KWH per month, or an average of 53 amp hours per day. By contrast, conventional refrigerators typically consume about 110 KWH per month or 305 amp hours per day. Producing the 110 KWH needed to run this refrigerator on a solar power system would require an investment of around $12,000 in hardware, batteries, and inverter. A Sun Frost will reduce this cost by a factor of at least six because of its increased efficiency and the elimination of inverter losses. inverters convert DC battery power to 120V AC.
The cooling system of the SUN FROST refrigerator contains a minimal number of moving parts. Both the DC and AC compressors incorporate highly reliable, hermetically sealed, brushless motors.
The efficient thermal design of SUN FROST refrigerators also contributes to their reliability. The top-mounted cooling system runs at a lower temperature than most, which prolongs the life of the system's lubricants and reduces mechanical strain on the compressor. The cooling system should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation.
During the summer, a typical refrigerator adds as much heat to your kitchen as a 1000 watt heater running five hours per day!
The energy needed by your air conditioner to remove this excess heat will be about half the energy consumed by your refrigerator. Increasing the cost of running your refrigerator by an additional 50%.
By producing much less waste heat than a conventional refrigerator, a SUN FROST makes your kitchen more comfortable and reduces the cost of air conditioning your home.
Sun Frost refrigerators are designed to be mounted on a cabinet. With the refrigerator raised, all stored food will then be at a convenient height. In addition, a cabinet beneath the refrigerator provides much more accessible storage space than a ceiling mounted cabinet. The cabinet could be built by the homeowner to match other kitchen cabinets or supplied by Sun Frost. Sun Frost manufactures a 13 inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF-16 and RF-19 refrigerators and a 24 inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF-12. Each cabinet has two large side-by-side drawers. There is also a 4 inch stand with no drawers or storage space for the RF-19 if desired.
A Sun Frost refrigerator can be placed against a wall minimizing floor area utilized. It will not have to be moved for either cleaning or servicing.

TMC will be the third largest party: Derek O'Brien
Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien on Monday said his party will emerge as the third largest party in the 2014 Lok Sabha.
"In all humility, we will do very well in Bengal and we are reasonably, quietly confident that TMC will be the third largest party in the Lok Sabha," said Derek after casting his vote.
"Today we believe that on the 16th (May), when the results come out, it will be a referendum in Bengal on the good development work that we have done," he said.
"It's a carnival atmosphere in West Bengal. People are voting peacefully, fearlessly and in very good spirits," he added.
Derek was one of the early voters in Kolkata (Kolkata South) and he also took a potshot at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi after voting as he tweeted: "Yes,I just voted...No, I did not then come outside the booth and take a selfie :)".
In West Bengal, polling is being held on Monday in 17 seats, including South and North Kolkata seats. Fates of 188 candidates will be sealed in the state by voters in the final phase of the polling.
TMC leaders like Dinesh Twivedi and Sougata Roy are also contesting in this phase.

The Carolina Panthers have some open roster spots at wide receiver after the team released Steve Smith and saw Ted Ginn and Domenik Hixon sign with the Arizona Cardinals and Chicago Bears, respectively.
Furthermore, the team may lose free agent Brandon LaFell which as led to speculation that former North Carolina Tar Heels standout receiver Hakeem Nicks could return home, but according to Pro Football Talk, the Panthers have shown zero interest in the Charlotte native.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman was the Pro Personnel Director when Nicks was the first round pick of the New York Giants in the 2009 draft, so if anyone knows the red flags of Nicks, it's Gettleman.
Nicks looked like one of the game's next great wide receivers after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and a total of 18 touchdowns from 2010-2011, but he has been dogged by injuries, drops and inconsistency in the last two seasons. Nicks was shut out of the end zone last year when he had 56 receptions and 896 yards.
For the last two seasons he has averaged 56 receptions and 794 yards and has only three touchdowns since he had seven in 2011.
Nicks could still appear on the Panthers radar, but it may have to be patient and accept a one-year deal.

Motorola seeks to invalidate 11 Apple iPhone-related patentsHandset maker Motorola has taken preemptive legal action against rival Apple in asking a court to invalidate 11 iPhone-related patents.
Motorola, which recently sued Apple over alleged patent violations, filed a complaint last week with a U.S. District Court in Delaware. The complaint seeks to invalidate a total of 11 patents awarded to Apple and NeXT Software, both companies founded by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs.
The preemptive strike notes that Apple has a "history of asserting" that handsets running Google's Android mobile operating system violate the 11 named patents. Motorola's suit notes that Apple's lawsuit against handset maker HTC, filed earlier this year, includes those patents.
The complaint asserts that Motorola is not infringing on the patents in question, and also attempts to prove to the court that the granted patents are invalid.
The patents specifically named in the lawsuit are:
- U.S. Patent No. 5,455,599: "Object-oriented graphic system"
- U.S. Patent No. 5,519,867: "Object-oriented multitasking system"
- U.S. Patent No. 5,566,337: "Method and apparatus for distributing events in an operating system"
- U.S. Patent No. 5,915,131: "Method and apparatus for handling I/O requests utilizing separate programming interfaces to access separate I/O services"
- U.S. Patent No. 5,929,852: "Encapsulated network entity reference of a network component system"
- U.S. Patent No. 5,946,647: "System and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data"
- U.S. Patent No. 5,969,705: "Message protocol for controlling a user interface from an inactive application program"
- U.S. Patent No. 6,275,983: "Object-oriented operating system"
- U.S. Patent No. 6,343,263: "Real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data"
- U.S. Patent No. 6,424,354: "Object-oriented event notification system with listener registration of both interests and methods"
- U.S. Patent No. RE39,486: "Extensible, replaceable network component system"
Earlier this month, Motorola sued Apple, alleging that the iPhone maker has infringed on patents it owns. The lawsuit was filed through a subsidiary, Motorola Mobility Inc., with the U.S. International Trade Commission.
Motorola Mobility has accused Apple of violating a total of 18 patents it owns, related to a range of technologies including 3G, GPRS, 802.11 wireless, and antenna design. Specifically named Apple products include MobileMe and the App Store.
Given the numerous lawsuits and countersuits filed with the ITC involving Apple, it is likely that the iPhone maker will respond in kind to Motorola with a lawsuit of its own. In addition to legal battles with Motorola and HTC, Apple is also at odds with Nokia and Kodak.

Good Points
Works fast. Keeps your hands comfortable in freezing weather. Much better than heated grips. Easy to rewire connectors. Well thought-out wiring.
Bad Points
Glove velcro wears out over time. Connectors need rewiring rather often.
General Comments
Widder heated waistcoat and gloves are the best biking kit I ever bought. Riding in freezing cold weather used to be such a pain, especially on my hands. Even heated grips only warm the inside of your hands. Now I can ride all year round in complete comfort.

US, China top diplomats discuss NKorea
Wednesday - 2/6/2013, 6:30am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration talked to China on Tuesday about North Korea facing "further consequences" under a recent U.N. Security Council resolution if it conducts a nuclear test, the State Department said.
New Secretary of State John Kerry discussed North Korea's "continued provocative rhetoric" in a phone call with China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi. It follows Kerry's conversations this week with his counterparts from Japan and South Korea, key U.S. allies in the region.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told a news briefing that the three conversations "were remarkably similar" on the importance of implementing the commitments of the January resolution if the North takes further action that violates its international obligations.
Nuland said that all the countries are concerned that despite the strong measures in the resolution, "the provocative rhetoric continues, which means that we've all got to stay unified in watching this and making absolutely clear to (Kim) Jong-un that if it takes further action, so will we." Kim is North Korea's leader.
The resolution, supported by China, condemned a North Korean satellite launch in December that the U.S. and others say was a disguised test of banned missile technology. The resolution also toughened sanctions against Pyongyang and warned of "significant action" if it conducts a nuclear test.
North Korea, which counts China as it only major ally, subsequently announced that it will conduct its third nuclear test. South Korea's U.N. ambassador said Monday that a test "seems to be imminent."

Ten@10: Reasons for freshman tight end's departure a mystery
- 10:00 am Tuesday, June 24th, 2014 by Chip Towers
1. Georgia announced last week that tight end Hunter Atkinson, an incoming freshman from Oakwood, was quitting the team "to concentrate on opportunities associated with his long term career goals." He'd been on campus barely two weeks.
I've tried to reach Atkinson or members of his family since that somewhat vague announcement in hopes of getting more details. But it appears they're not interested elaborating, at least not at this point. I did get a chance to talk to Atkinson's coach at West Hall High School, Tony Lotti, however.
Lotti informed me he had a brief visit [More]
Ten@10: Murray vs. Mett, U.S. vs. Donnan and slow wheels of justice
- 10:00 am Tuesday, May 6th, 2014 by Chip Towers
1. An interesting question was posed Mike Mayock, a draft analyst for the NFL Network, on a recent teleconference call with reporters. Mayock was asked who he thought would have the better pro career, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray or LSU's Zach Mettenberger.
"They're complete opposites," Mayock said. "It's really intriguing. The common denominator is they're both coming off ACL injuries late last season. Both had great pro day workouts. Mettenberger has as strong an arm as anybody in the draft. I'd be surprised if he didn't go second round. Looked like he recovered from the ACL, which is [More]

God's Voice in the Past
Genesis 12
To understand how God may be speaking to us today, we should first examine the ways He spoke in the past. What made His voice so clear to the heroes of faith?
One of the primary ways God spoke to the Old Testament characters was through direct revelation. That is, He spoke directly to their spirits, one-to-one. This is exactly what we see in His conversations with Abraham, for instance (Gen. 12:1-3).
Then, of course, the Lord spoke also through His Word. This included the Ten Commandments and the law of Moses, which enabled the people to know and obey the divine will (Ex. 20:1-26).
Another way that God sometimes communicates is through circumstances. For example, think about His interaction with Gideon, who was frightened and therefore needed some "extra encourage-ment" (Judg. 6:36-40). The Lord graciously answered his request for a special physical sign of His presence.
The New Testament mentions more methods of divine communication. The Lord's message at times came through angels or the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:19-21; Acts 16:1-7). In addition, there were occasions when God spoke audibly, such as at Paul's dramatic salvation experience on the Damascus Road (Acts 9:1-19).
Through these various methods, God has continually reassured His people that He cares for them and is present at their side. This is certainly a much-needed message for our lives as well. While the Lord may not communicate with us in some ways, we know He will always speak through His Word when we listen obediently.

Lendl's century keeps Mumbai Indians in the hunt
Lendl Simmons struck the first century of the season that kept Mumbai Indians in the hunt for a play-off spot as they beat Kings XI Punjab by seven wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the PCA Stadium here Tuesday.
Simmons struck a blistering 100 off 61 balls as Mumbai Indians while chasing a target of 157 made 159 with six balls to spare.
The comfortable win for defending champions took them to the fifth spot in the points table ahead of Royal Challengers and Sunrisers and are in the race for a qualifier berth in the play-offs.
Simmons took the attack to the Kings XI bowlers right from the start. In all he struck 14 fours and two sixes during the brutal knock.
Simmons dominance was apparent from the fact that during the 68-run opening stand, Mike Hussey remained a mute spectator scoring just six runs.
Ambati Rayudu (17) and Rohit Sharma (18) also gave some support to Simmons and Kieron Pollard (8 not out) finished things off in a style with a huge six in the penultimate over.
Earlier in the day, Virender Sehwag (17) gave Kings XI a good start as the hosts were 23 for no loss in the second over before he was dismissed in a freak run out.
Manan Vohra (36) and Shaun Marsh (30) got the innings on track with their 64-run stand for the secon wicket before skipper Geroge Bailey (39) and Rishi Dhawan (14 not out) added some respectability with their quick scoring.
For Mumbai Indians, Jaspreet Bumrah and Shreyas Gopal picked up two wickets each.

The Oakland Raiders, with a need for another wide receiver on the active roster, signed Greg Jenkins from the practice squad on Saturday and placed receiver Juron Criner on injured reserve.
The team announced the move via its official Twitter account:
The Raiders have signed WR Greg Jenkins @GJenk10 to the active roster and placed WR Juron Criner @JbamaCriner82 on Injured Reserve.
— OAKLAND RAIDERS (@RAIDERS) November 23, 2013
Jenkins was an undrafted free agent out of Alabama State that the Raiders signed last spring. A converted quarterback, Jenkins had five catches for 47 yards in the preseason for Oakland and was among the final roster cuts. He accounted for almost 2,200 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior at Alabama State, guiding the Southwestern Athletic Conference's highest scoring offense.
Criner only played in one game this season, catching three passes for 32 yards in Oakland's 49-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 3.
Criner missed the Raiders' first seven games because of a hamstring strain he suffered in training camp and then he hurt his shoulder in the game against the Eagles and was inactive the last two weeks.
Criner, a fifth-round pick out of Arizona in 2012, had 16 catches for 151 yards and a touchdown as a rookie last season.
The Raiders will be without leading receiver Denarius Moore, who has an injured shoulder and has been declared out for Sunday's game at the Black Hole against the Tennessee Titans.
That left Oakland with Jacoby Ford, Rod Streater, Brice Butler and Andre Holmes as the only healthy receivers heading into Sunday.

It has been a really, really long time since I wrote a for-fun blog post. So, today for no real reason besides to have some fun, I decided to write a little something up on my favorite sport: NASCAR.
The past week has been a whirlwind for the sport of NASCAR. Planned strategies to take teammates to the chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup caused drama from Saturday night's race at Richmond International Raceway through Friday evening in Chicago. Why? Because teams want to win the chase! But, when does strategies and team work go too far?
Well, NASCAR decided – and teamwork went too far when Michael Waltrip Racing's Clint Bowyer wrecked (as what was interpreted as) intentionally to enable teammate Martin Truex Jr. to make the 12-man chase.
Bowyers wreck knocked the chance for the chase from the sights of both Stewart-Haas' Ryan Newman and Hendrick Motorsports' Jeff Gordon.
Now here is where this fast recap I am throwing down right now gets really interesting…
On Monday night at 8:15 p.m. NASCAR holds a press conference and announces that Bowyer is getting docked 50 points, Truex is out, Newman is in and MWR is facing a fine of $300,000.
OUTRAGE! At least to Jeff Gordon fans. So let's get to Friday now.
On Friday, NASCAR sits down for another press conference (they had announced they were investigating Penske Racing's Joey Logano days before) and announces that Gordon is in and awarded 1250 points – making it the first year that there has ever been a 13th chase driver!
OUTRAGE! Now fans are mad that NASCAR is, "Making up rules on a cocktail napkin," per say.
But the biggest question – that got the shaft – is why Bowyer was only docked 50 points, when he intentionally caused the wreck that kept Newman/Gordon from their shot, and furthermore why is Bowyer not allowed to wreck if he wants to wreck? Whether he takes someone out or not, isn't that his choice?
I could try to make an analogy, but I am going to try to spare you from whatever I could potentially say – it is probably for the best.
For this blog post I am more so asking what you think as a fan. Was NASCAR right or wrong, yay or nay?
These are things I cannot answer…
Shake and Bake.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, Kan. -- A Satanta High School football player is walking again after suffering a damaging injury on the field last month.
Anthony Crump was severely hurt during a football game on Sept. 6.
"Normally when Anthony goes down, he gets right back up, and he didn't get up," said Jeanette Crump, mother.
The freshman was thrilled to play in the opening game of the football season. After executing a tackle on an opponent, the player landed on Anthony's neck.
Doctors initially thought the teen would be paralyzed, but Anthony never wanted to believe it.
"Felt like something was keeping me going and keeping me calm, and never allowed me to think like I wasn't going to walk again," said Anthony Crump.
Staff at Wesley Medical Center said the teen promised them that he would walk again. This afternoon, he fulfilled that promise.
"I made him make me a promise that he would walk back on to our unit, so this is going to be a very emotional time not only for me but I think for his family as well," said Kristi Froese, manager of the pediatrics unit.
The 16-year-old has been rehabilitating at the Shriners Hospital in Chicago. The Shiners have paid for all of his treatment and travel.
Anthony said that all the support, prayers, and thoughts have helped him in his road to recovery.
"I like how everybody just comes together when stuff like this happens," said Anthony.
Doctors plan to evaluate his recovery in December. In the meantime, he will be wearing a neck brace and will have to be very careful throughout this recovery process.
