Title: Pen Pal From Hell
Rating: Teen
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha:
Summery: It all began when she received him as her pen pal (Thanks to her older sister) from Japan…more like pen pal from hell in her opinion. Not liking the idea she starts off hating the man. What happens when her sister and her sisters pen pal fall in love and Kikyo wants to go to Japan to visit him bringing Kagome with her? What happens when Kikyo's pen pal is the brother of Kagome's pen pal? Sesshoumaru X Kagome

---------------------------------------------- Normal POV -------------------------------------------------
"Class…Class…CLASS" The teacher screamed and I sighed.
"I know that you are all excited but I haven't even finished talking about it" The teacher said obviously annoyed.
"Sorry Kaede Sensei" A female said and Kaede Sensei nodded in approval.
"Thank you Kikyo" Kaede said to the women now known as Kikyo.
"So everyone now that you know that everyone will be getting a pen pal from Japan you will be happy to know that I have people already paired up" Kaede said and the class cheered excitedly.
"Tell us Tell us" A red hair said excitedly.
"I will when the class is quiet Ayame" Kaede said and almost instantly the class went quiet.
"Alright here we go" Kaede said and the class all began to listen.
"Oh one last thing, only people who have an A or B in Japanese are able to have pen pals" Kaede added and instantly you heard some people curse and others object.
"Question Kaede Sensei, seeing as how this is an all girls school will we be getting females as our pen pals" A female asked.
"Good question Yura, actually we will be working with an all boys school so everyone will have a male for their pen pal" Kaede explain and Yura nodded in understanding.
"So who are we talking about that are going to get pen pals" another female asked.
"Let me check" Kaede replied while checking on her list.
"Kikyo, Sango, Ayame, Rin, Kagura, Kanna, Yura, Nazuna, Sara, and Kaguya" Kaede said and there were cheers and boo's at the same time.
"If your name was not called then please go out in the hall while I talk to the students that I called. Reluctantly more than three fourths of the class left.
"I told the students that if they got a good grade in Japanese they would be rewarded" Kaede said annoyed and Yura, Nazuna and Sara laughed a little.
"Kikyo" Kaede called.
"Yes" Kikyo asked excitedly.
"You will be paired up with Inu Yasha Tashio" Kaede said and Kikyo nodded.
"Sango will be paired up with Miroku Murasaki, Ayame will be paired up with Koga Kuroi, Rin will be paired up with Shippo Akai" Kaede said while taking a breath.
"Okay" Sango, Ayame and Rin said in unison.
"Kagura will be with Naraku Hairu, Kanna will be with Kohaku Chairo. Yura will be with Hiten Kiiro, Nazuna will be with Hojo Nagimura, Sara will be with Nobunaga Kawashi and Kaguya you will be with Bankotsu Iru…understood" Kaede asked tiredly.
"Yes Ma'am" Kikyo, Sango, Ayame, Rin, Kagura, Kanna, Yura, Nazuna, Sara and Kaguya shouted happily.
"Oh I forgot someone" Kaede said suddenly and everyone looked up.
"I forgot someone but he is not a high school student he's a college student" Kaede said and everyone looked up with excitement.
"If he's a college student then why is he with the high school" Nazuna asked curiously.
"Well you see his father and brother volunteered him…he's extremely smart" Kaede said happily.
"Actually I have the perfect person in mind" Kaede said glancing at Kikyo with an evil grin.
"She'll kill me…plus she's busy looking for a college" Kikyo said and Kaede grinned.
"Well then we will just have to tell her that it will get her into a better college" Kaede said evil and Kikyo laughed.
"Alright then I guess Kagome is with Sesshoumaru Tashio" Kaede said and Kikyo swallowed nervously wondering how her sister was going to hurt her for this…
"Kagome's going to kill you for this" Sango whispered to Kikyo while laughing.
"Tell me about it" Kikyo replied while laughing nervously.
---------------------------------------------- Kikyo's POV -------------------------------------------------
"Kagome" I shouted as I entered the house. How exactly was I going to tell Kagome that I had volunteered her to be a pen pal for a person from Japan, a guy pen pal to be more precise? It was bad enough that her little sister was a man hater as it was…
"What" Kagome shouted back from upstairs? It was now or never.
"Guess what" I shouted back walking upstairs to where my younger sister was. I would just tell it to her right now.
"What?" Kagome asked turning around to face me. I put a big smile on my face trying to fake what I was about to do. Although I could already tell that Kagome knew that big smiles were never a good thing.
"What did you do" Kagome asked me while glaring. I gave her a nervous smile.
"Well…we were in school and talking about pen pals" I began and she narrowed her eyes at me.
"Spit it out Kikyo" Kagome said coldly and I let out a nervous laugh.
"You were kind of volunteered to be a pen pal for a guy in Japan" I said watching her face to see how she was going to take this.
"You what" Kagome said dangerously.
"It was more Kaede Sensei's idea than mine" I said defending myself.
"That doesn't surprise me" She said with a sigh and I raised a brow. So she wasn't angry?
"So you are not angry" I asked her curiously.
"Oh, I am livid Kikyo but I am trying to be mature about this" Kagome said glancing at her computer screen and then back at me.
"Who is this pen pal of mine" She asked me.
"Well he's in College and I think his name was Sesshoumaru or something like that" I said and I cringed as I saw her glare at me.
"And when are we suppose to have our first letter in by" She asked me.
"This week" I said happily and without warning Kagome grabbed one of her note books and chucked it at me.
"Damn you Kikyo" Kagome said and I stood there not saying anything.
"Does this mean you are going to actually write letters to him" I asked hopefully.
"Do I have any choice" Kagome asked me and I smirked. No, she didn't really have much of a choice.
"By the way the guy your writing to is the brother of my pen pal" I said cheerfully and she groaned and then rolled her eyes.
---------------------------------------------- Kagome's POV -------------------------------------------------
I sat at my desk frustrated with a pencil in hand and paper trying to wrack my brain of what to write to this 'Sesshoumaru' Person. Suddenly I got an idea. Seeing as how I was in a bad mood as it was I decided not to even call him by his name but instead call him a demon. No…perhaps demon lord? Yes, that was much better. With that thought I began writing my letter to this mysterious person. Writing the date and then the letter I began the introduction. Should I write in Japanese or English?
Seeing as how he was Japanese I would write half the letter in Japanese and half in English I decided. Writing basic info about me in Japanese I then began to write the English portion. Seeing as how I was in a bad mood I already knew that I would come off as a 'bitch' to who ever this guy was.
After about two hours I let out a sigh of happiness while putting my pencil down. Glancing at the letter I began to re read it.
9th, 2006
Letter One
Dear Taiyoukai,
First of
all I would like to begin saying that this was NOT
my idea but my sisters.
As you may (or may not) know your brother is her pen pal.
It just so happens that my sweet sister volunteered me for this project without my permission.
I am doing this for my sister and for my sister only.
I will not give you my last name, phone number or even where I live so don't even bother.
For all I know you could be a stalker and rapist so do not take offense to my actions.
I can not wait until the end of the year when I will not have to write to you.
I personally found it funny about the stalker and rapist part. Perhaps if I was lucky I would scare this guy off so much that he wouldn't bother to write back? I could only hope...

Hong Kong Stocks Erase QE3 Gains Amid China Credit CrunchAdam Haigh and Alan Wong
Hong Kong stocks fell, erasing all gains since the Federal Reserve pledged a third round of quantitative easing. Shares retreated amid concern a credit crunch is worsening for Chinese banks and after the U.S. central bank said it may start curbing stimulus this year.
The Hang Seng Index declined 2.9 percent to 20,382.87 in Hong Kong, its lowest close since Sept. 13. All but one of the 50 companies on the gauge fell, with volume 39 percent above the 30-day average. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland stocks listed in the city fell 3.3 percent to 9,265.30.
Financials and developers led declines among the Hang Seng Index's industry groups. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., the world's largest lender, sank 3.8 percent after a measure of interbank funding availability posted its biggest one-day gain in seven years. China Resources Land Ltd., the second-biggest mainland developer traded in Hong Kong, dropped 6.9 percent. Techtronic Industries Co., a maker of power tools that gets most its sales in North America, slid 4.9 percent.
"There is a credit crunch in the near term," Ben Kwong, chief operating officer at Hong Kong-based KGI Asia Ltd., said in a phone interview. "The intention of the People's Bank of China is to put some pressure on banks to clean up their problems. The expectation of a China slowdown is already building up."
Shares also fell on signs a slowdown in China manufacturing is deepening. A preliminary reading of 48.3 for a Purchasing Manager's Index released today by HSBC Holdings Plc and Market Economics compares with a 49.1 median estimate in a Bloomberg News Survey. The final May reading for the gauge was 49.2, with a number below 50 indicating contraction.
Banks Drop
A gauge of property developers on the Hang Seng lost 3.6 percent, while a measure of financial companies slid 3 percent. China Resources Land declined 6.9 percent to HK$19.32. Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. fell 2.9 percent to HK$3.09. ICBC retreated 3.8 percent to HK$4.57, the lowest since October. The stock has not risen a single day this month.
The slump in factory activity is happening amid a worsening cash crunch. The nation's one-year interest-rate swap, which is used to exchange fixed payments for the floating seven-day repurchase rate, surged as much as 14 basis points to 4.62 percent, the highest since Bloomberg started tracking the data in May 2006. A crackdown on illegal capital inflows, efforts to rein in shadow banking and a campaign to control home prices have contributed to increased borrowing costs.
Strategic Support
China's Cabinet said the nation's financial system must better support growth and restructuring. Authorities will boost credit support for industries the government has defined as strategic and labor intensive, the State Council said in Beijing yesterday after a meeting led by Premier Li Keqiang.
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, also known as the H-share index, has fallen 24 percent from its Feb. 1 high, with a 20 percent decline considered the threshold for a bear market. The measure is trading at 6.83 times estimated earnings, 28 percent below its three-year average. That compares with 14.76 times projected profit for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, according to Bloomberg data.
Futures on the S&P 500 fell 0.7 percent after the underlying gauge yesterday retreated 1.4 percent in New York, the biggest decline this month. Shares dropped after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the central bank may reduce bond purchases this year if the job market shows sustained improvement.
The HSI Volatility Index climbed 7.7 percent to 22.72, the highest level in a year, indicating options traders expect swings of 6.5 percent on the Hang Seng Index in the next 30 days. Hang Seng futures contracts expiring this month dropped 2.8 percent to 20,356.
The benchmark Hang Seng index dropped 10 percent this year, making Hong Kong the worst performer among developed equity markets, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

; We are exploring the hypothesis that the Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF)/urocortin family of ligands and their cognate receptors play specific and critical roles in the modulation of adaptive responses to stress and other circumstances. In previous granting periods, this Project, with collaborators throughout the Program, characterized CRF, cloned 2 CRF receptors, CRFR1 and CRFR2 and identified 3 urocortins (Ucn 1, 2 &3) and cloned CRF-BP, a bio-neutralizing binding protein. Ucn 2 and 3 precursors were deduced from DNA databases. Because their mature forms have not been identified, we will isolate and sequence the peptides from tissues and cell secretions. Our receptor studies have focused on exploring the roles of the N-terminal, first extracellular domain (ECD1) of the CRFRs, which include critical binding sites for peptide agonists and antagonists. We will continue to collaborate with Project 3, to solve the structures of additional ligand-bound ECD1 of CRF receptors by NMR and will explore means of expressing and evaluating functional full-length receptors. Mice deficient in each of the 3 urocortins developed in collaboration with Core B have been characterized. We have been instructed by the metabolic phenotypes of receptor and ligand null mice as well as by the anatomic distributions of CRFR2, Ucn 2 and Ucn 3. We proposed that Ucn 2, strongly expressed in skeletal muscle, plays a local role within that tissue to negatively regulate insulin sensitivity. Whereas, Ucn 3 found in beta cells of the pancreatic islet, enhances glucose stimulated insulin secretion. Because of possible interest in increasing insulin sensitivity by selectively blocking Ucn 2, we are developing mutant CRF-BPs that bind and neutralize Ucn 2 but display minimal affinities for CRF, Ucn 1 and Ucn 3, thereby avoiding suppression of glucocorticoid production and possible untoward effects on islet, heart and other tissues. We have also explored the role of CRF and CRFR1 in the islet and found this receptor/ligand system to also enhance glucose-mediated insulin secretion. We propose to fully define the distributions of ligands and receptors of the CRF network within the islet and to explore the regulation of the CRFR1 and CRFR2 components and cross-talk between the two receptor systems. Finally, we will examine this system in models of obesity. Our goal is to understand the physiologic context of the CRF/urocortin network and to reveal potential means of exploiting this information for the management of human stress-related and metabolic diseases.
; The CRF/urocortin network mediates endocrine, autonomic and behavioral responses to stress and is perturbed in various mood and metabolic disorders. Clinical trials of native peptides and their antagonists are underway for the management of several indications including depression, anxiety, acute congestive heart failure and irritable bowel syndrome. Recent findings of possible roles of this family in insulin secretion and muscle insulin sensitivity reveal potential applications in metabolic disease including type 2 diabetes.

Scott Mills may look the picture of the laid-back Radio 1 presenter, but he sounds, if not militant, then at least a little het up.
The issue which has riled him is gay rights, a topic the 36-year-old has been reluctant to speak about in the past for fear of being pigeon-holed as a "gay DJ". In something of an about-face, he is now planning a programme about homosexuality in Uganda, one of the most dangerous places to be gay on the planet.
"I'd quite like to do something serious. I'm sure it'll move me, and it'll also get the people off my back that say I don't do anything," he says. It is difficult to work out what he is more upset about: the parlous lack of gay rights in many countries or the people pestering him to do something about it.
One gets the sense that he has been corralled into using his high profile– more than six million listen to his early evening show – to advance gay causes. While Mills, who came out without fanfare in a newspaper interview in 2005, insists he is not the campaigning type, he has been working with charities such as the Terrence Higgins Trust.
"Some people just lend themselves to waving the flag, but I've never been like that," he says. "I get a lot of emails from people asking why don't I do more? Some gay people want me to go on air and say 'what about gay issues?', but I'm doing a mainstream daytime radio show, it is not a social affairs programme."
While a natural entertainer, the presenter is clearly wary of controversy, trotting out the party line on everything from the multi-million pound salaries of some BBC presenters – necessary to prevent them from being poached by rival stations, apparently – to the "great value" licence fee, and BBC Radio 6 Music's reprieve, which he describes as "the best PR they've ever had".
After six years presenting his own show, Mills is clearly comfortable in his own skin. So comfortable that he makes no bones about his desire to bag the coveted breakfast slot currently held by loudmouth DJ Chris Moyles. "It would be a brilliant challenge. If they offered me the morning show I'd be a fool to say no. My lifestyle lends itself to it now. I feel more centred, like I've got everything in order," he says.
The Hampshire-born DJ joined Radio 1 in 1998 as a presenter on The Early Breakfast Show after several years in commercial radio. In May, Mills's stellar rise was confirmed when he pipped Moyles to the post to win the Sony Music Radio Personality of the Year award – an achievement he describes as "unbelievable". He says that he cried after receiving the award.
"If you'd asked me a couple of years ago if I could have done it [the breakfast show] I'd have said no. I was going out too much, drinking too much."
While Mills may still be dressed like an overgrown teenager, in combat shorts and a bright purple hoodie, his huge Nike trainers dangling over the arm of the chair while he fiddles with his iPhone, he has undoubtedly grown up. This transformation is partly due to the stabilising effect of his partner of a year, with whom he has just bought a house in north London; "the slightly ghetto end of Crouch End", he insists.
Mills's fresh-faced appearance is testament to this healthy new lifestyle – he has given up the booze and hired a personal trainer – although he pleads exhaustion due to juggling his duty filling in for Chris Moyles while he is on holiday with rehearsals for the one-man show he will perform at the Edinburgh Fringe later this month.
Entitled The Bjorn Identity, the piece combines the plot of the Bourne Identity action film with the songs of Abba. "It is like in Mamma Mia! when they shoehorn the songs in," he says. "It'll just be me, with masks and other pre-recorded voices."
This follows on from the success of the DJ's first foray into theatre. That was in Edinburgh last year, Scott Mills: The Musical, which started out as an on-air joke but turned into a slick ensemble number which garnered positive reviews and was watched by one million people online. His Radio 1 shows will also be broadcast live from the city between 16 and 19 August.
"I can hold a note, but I'd never be a good stage performer. The idea terrifies me. I got into radio because it was a way of reaching lots of people without actually having to meet them," he says.
While Mills may plead shyness and insecurity, one gets the impression this is more out of habit than genuine feeling, and that it would take more than soloing Swedish pop songs to ruffle this presenter's feathers.

Eric Dickerson net worth: Erick Dickerson is a former American football player who has a net worth of $10 million dollars. Born in Sealy, Texas, Eric Dickerson excelled at football throughout high school, and fielded offers from multiple college teams during his senior year. He chose to attend Southern Methodist University, and broke or tied multiple school football records during his years with the SMU team. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1983, and played for the team from 1983 to 1987, setting multiple team and league records during those years. He then went on to play for the Indianapolis Colts until 1991. His first three seasons with the Colts were hugely successful, and again, he set records. However, his last two seasons with the team were dismal, and he missed multiple games due to suspensions, contract disputes, and injuries. In 1992, he was traded to the Los Angeles Raiders, where he played very few games, and was then traded to the Atlanta Falcons to serve in a backup capacity. He retired in 1993 after failing his physical.

Great service, amazing product love it in my house!!!!
Comments about Herman Miller Base for Noguchi Table:
I know this is a very common table, but still it is gorgeous. The soft curves add nice dimension to rather angular lines in my house. The oversized guitar pick top is nice too, but it's all about the bottom. It seems weak, but it is surprisingly strong. Just can't be moved from here to there easily, but be moved with two persons to lift the top. Goes great with modern and more traditional furniture too. Love it.

The 34-year-old leaves the side a year after arriving from Genoa on a free transfer. He scored two goals in 15 games for the Old Lady, but hasn't appeared this season.
Juventus, in a brief note on their website, have revealed that the striker has been sold on a permanent basis to the Dubai-based outfit.
Toni had just six months left on his Turin contract and joins Amauri through the exit after the latter signed for Fiorentina last week.

I blogged earlier this week about statements from the socially conservative lobby group Christian Concern ahead of the local elections. They encouraged people to vote for candidates opposed to same-sex marriage.
May 1, 2013
The "Christian Right" in Britain – inasmuch as it exists – is not like the Christian Right in the US. Over there, conservatism on issues such as marriage and abortion seems to go hand in hand with right-wing views on economics and foreign policy. Over here, we have conservative Christian lobby groups with a far more narrow focus. Organisations such as the Christian Institute, Christian Concern/Christian Legal Centre and so-called Anglican Mainstream focus largely on attacking LGBT rights. They also speak out against abortion, Islam and the supposed marginalisation of Christians in Britain.

One of the Washington Post's 50 Notable Nonfiction Books of 2014
"[A] masterpiece...Tanner's book is one of the best business books written this year; in fact, it is one of the best business books in this century. It reminds me of Joe Nocera's first book, A Piece of the Action, in that it combines detailed knowledge of his subject matter with an excellent writing style, countless personal interviews and observations of events." Don McNay, Huffington Post
"What Stays in Vegasis an engrossing, story-packed takedown of the data industry…What Stays in Vegas offers a narrative that transforms Big Data from spreadsheet-dull to a racy read people will pay attention to." Financial Times
"The book provides an insider's look at the business of assembling, packaging and reselling data, and it uses glittery Las Vegas to show that kind of information at work." Dina Temple-Raston, Washington Post
"Mr. Tanner's engaging book is realistic." Marc Levinson, Wall Street Journal
"Although 'What Stays in Vegas' starts with insights gained from casino data, the book is even more interesting when it delves into the occasionally questionable practices of other businesses that use personal data for profit." Kim Ukura, Madison (WI) Capital Times
"[A] very readable account about our disappearing privacy…What Stays in Vegas is both readable and entertaining, and in a similar manner as Michael Lewis's writings, Tanner provides interesting stories about the people and companies that are now so directly involved in our personal lives." Winnipeg Free Press
"I would recommend the Tanner book with the excellent title of What Stays in Vegas." Inside Higher Ed
"A compelling read on what companies are doing, how they get our information, what they do with it, and how some business approaches are more respectful of privacy than others" Irish Times
"Tanner illustrates his arguments with a traditional, vivid example from the business and entertainment world: Caesars Palace in Las Vegas…Tanner weaves this example into a gripping account of the modern direct-marketing industry… In this fascinating look at the dazzling if suffocating domain of digital information gathering, Tanner concludes that it is returning us to a world of farms and villages, where intimate details of everyone's lives were public knowledge."Kirkus Reviews, *starred* review
"Although What Stays in Vegas starts with insights gained from casino data, the book is even more interesting when it delves into the occasionally questionable practices of other businesses that use personal data for profit." Capital Times, (Madison (WI)
"Data may be to the 21st century economy what oil was to the 20th, a hugely valuable asset essential to economic life and often a source of conflict. This entertaining yet deeply informative book is a great guide to what has, or hasn't, happened and to what lies ahead." Lawrence Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, & President Emeritus and Charles W. Eliot University Professor of Harvard University
"In Adam Tanner's fast-paced investigative report, What Stays in Vegas, we learn that the great advances of the digital age, access and interconnectedness, also carry great risks. Never before has information about one's identity been more valuable or easier to track for insights—and advantage. As we conti

The JDE for Eclipse 1.1 (gold) doesn't seem to ship with the 9000 simulator.
I have a reported display issue on a 9000 device so would like to test the application in this specific simulator.
If I use the eclipse update site and select a different component pack (eg 4.7.0) and select next, I get an error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: BlackBerry Component Pack 4.7.0 22.214.171.124 (net.rim.eide.feature.componentpack4.7.0.feature.g

It wants the old version of JDE for Eclipse. Do I have to maintain a separate install (and therefore separate project) for 4.7.0 component pack support?
I have found BlackBerry_Simulators_188.8.131.521_9000.exe available for download but how can I install this so it's usable in eclipse? Do I just install it into the correct folder and it will all magically work? (after working out what the correct folder is ofc).
Or is it just not possible and I should just run the 9000 simulator outside of any debugger?
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can skip Eclipse and just download the simulator. After the download, install. Then go to program files, Research In Motion and select the simulator and it will start. Then in the simulator, go to 'file' and load java program and then browse to your cod files and it will install the app into the downloads folder. Then you can test.
Yes I realise I can do that, but I want to debug with eclipse not just run the code.
Can I connect eclipse to that running instance?
I've not tried. but if you are running that simulator with your app and have Eclipse open. Try debug, on that running sumulator: Click the drop down on the little green play button and choose 'run as' and choose the running simulator.
Ok, that works, thanks.
You are very welcome.

As we reported earlier today, the Federal Circuit, in a decision that substantially reiterates its prior opinion, determined in Association for Molecular Pathology v. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that, the Supreme Court's decision in Mayo v. Prometheus notwithstanding, claims to isolated human DNA satisfy the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 101.
At the outset, it must be noted that each of Judge Lourie's majority opinion, Judge Moore's concurring opinion and Judge Bryson's opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part substantially tracks their earlier opinions, as discussed previously (summaries of the earlier opinions can be found here (Judge Lourie), here (Judge Moore), and here (Judge Bryson)). Accordingly, here the focus will be, as it must, on how the individual members of the panel addressed the Supreme Court's remand instruction to reconsider their opinion(s) in view of the Court's decision in Mayo v. Prometheus.
For Judge Lourie (and to some extent, Judge Moore), the answer to the question posed by the intervening Mayo decision is simple: that decision did not change the standards for assessing the patent eligibility for compositions of matter and manufactures as enunciated by the Court in Funk Bros. Seed Co. v. Kalo Inoculant Co. and Diamond v. Chakrabarty.
Judge Lourie's majority opinion is frank in this assessment, stating that "Mayo does not control the question of patent-eligibility of [] claims to compositions of matter, [that are] expressly authorized as suitable patent-eligible subject matter in § 101." For the majority, the claimed isolated DNA molecules are "not found in nature" and are "man-made, a product of human ingenuity." Like all compositions of matter, the claimed molecules are "prepared from products of nature" but that is not enough to render them patent-ineligible per se, according to the opinion:
All new chemical or biological molecules, whether made by synthesis or decomposition, are made from natural materials. For example, virtually every medicine utilized by today's medical practitioners, and every manufactured plastic product, is either synthesized from natural materials (most often petroleum fractions) or derived from natural plant materials. But, as such, they are different from natural materials, even if they are ultimately derived from them. The same is true of isolated DNA molecules.
The "primary framework" for assessing patent-eligibility of composition of matter claims remain "the Supreme Court's decisions in Chakrabarty and Funk Brothers" and "[w]hile Mayo and earlier decisions concerning method claim patentability provide valuable insights and illuminate broad, foundational principles" they do not alter the primacy of these earlier decisions, and in applying these decisions the majority opinion follows its earlier assessment of the patent-eligibility of the claimed DNA molecules.
Judge Lourie's opinion also sets out further grounds for overturning the District Court's decision rendering these claims invalid for being non-statutory subject matter. These include that the District Court "created a categorical rule excluding isolated genes from patent eligibility," something that the opinion considers contrary to the Supreme Court's mandate that such categorical rules not be imposed in deciding subject matter eligibility. The opinion cites Bilski v. Kappos (business methods) and Chakrabarty (living organisms) as cases where the Court has affirmatively rejected such per se rules of patent ineligibility. Isolated DNA "is not and should not be considered a special case for purposes of patent eligibility under existing law" says Judge Lourie, expressly rejecting the District Court's distinction that "DNA represents the physical embodiment of biological information, distinct in its essential characteristics from any other chemical found in nature."
The opinion also notes that the question as embodied in that portion of the District Court's opinion and as argued by plaintiffs (that it may have an "unusual status as a chemical entity that conveys genetic information") does not permit courts to usurp the prerogative of Congress to address such policy questions, quoting Chief Justice Roberts in Nat'l Fed'n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 132 S. Ct. 2566, slip op. at 6 (2012) ("[W]e possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation's elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them."). It is up to Congress to address this issue according to the opinion, which notes that Congress has in fact "enacted a comprehensive patent reform act during the pendency of this case."
Turning to the question of preemption (more properly, "undue" preemption) that concerned the Supreme Court in Mayo, which focused on its concern that permitting patents on particular subject matter would prevent use of that subject matter by others, the majority responds that "the answer to that concern is that permitting patents on isolated genes does not preempt a law of nature [because a] composition of matter is not a law of nature." The opinion also notes that "a limited preemption" is an inherent property of the patent right. The public benefit in granting that limited right to preempt is that "[w]hen the patent expires, the public is entitled to practice the invention of the patent." In this regard, Judge Lourie notes that "[t]he seven patents being challenged here all expire by December 18, 2015" and that "[a]ny preemption thus is limited, very limited in the case of the present patents."
The majority opinion also rejects the contention, by plaintiffs and certain amici (most notably the government) that "remand of this case for reconsideration in light of Mayo might suggest [] that the composition claims are mere reflections of a law of nature." Simply put, the opinion states that "they are not, any more than any product of man reflects and is consistent with a law of nature. Everything and everyone comes from nature, following its laws. But the compositions here are not natural products. They are the products of man, albeit following, as all materials do, laws of nature."
Turning to the method claims, the Court unanimously held that these claims are not patent-eligible under the Supreme Court's Mayo decision (just as they had previously ruled that the claims were not patent-eligible under the Bilski "machine or transformation" test). In doing so, the majority voice its opinion that the Court's Mayo decision "made clear that such diagnostic methods in that case essentially claim natural laws that are not eligible for patent." The panel did not apply the Mayo reasoning here, however, because in its view "those method claims cannot stand" under their earlier, arguably more permissive standard for patent eligibility in view of the Mayo decision.
Finally, turning to Claim 20 the panel decided unanimously that this claim is patent eligible because it recites a transformed host cell that is not naturally-occurring, analogous to the bacteria claimed by Chakrabarty. This claim satisfies the Supreme Court's edict from Mayo that "to transform an unpatentable law of nature into a patent-eligible application of such a law, one must do more than simply state the law of nature while adding the words 'apply it'" because it utilizes this man-made cell. And important to the panel's unanimous decision is that "the claim does not cover all cells, all compounds, or all methods of determining the therapeutic effect of a compound" but "[r]ather [] is tied to specific host cells transformed with specific genes and grown in the presence or absence of a specific type of therapeutic" (emphasis in opinion).
The panel also unanimously reaffirmed its earlier decision that Dr. Harry Ostrer, alone among the plaintiffs had standing to bring a declaratory judgment action and thus that the District Court properly denied Myriad's motion to dismiss.
And in perhaps an indication that the panel believed these questions to be more frivolous than the seriousness of the questions presented would suggest, it awarded costs to Myriad.
In her concurring opinion, Judge Moore also asserts that "the Prometheus decision does not control the outcome in this case" but concedes that "it is nonetheless instructive regarding the scope of the law of nature exception" and she rejects Myriad's contention that "Prometheus is constrained to method [claims]," calling it "untenable." Regardless, she agrees with Judge Lourie that "Prometheus did not, however, overturn Funk Brothers or Chakrabarty," which she characterizes as "cases clearly more analogous to the one before us." And using this jurisprudential "framework" she arrives at the same conclusion as Judge Lourie, that the claimed isolated DNA molecules are patent eligible if they represent "a composition of matter with 'markedly different characteristics' from that found in nature with the potential for significant utility." With regard to utility, Judge Moore recognizes that "[t]he ability to use isolated DNA molecules as the basis for diagnostic genetic testing is clearly an 'enlargement of the range of . . . utility' as compared to nature," citing Funk Bros. Regarding the oligonucleotide claims, she distinguished the Supreme Court's rubrics from Mayo on the grounds that "the claims to short isolated strands of DNA are not directed to the relationship between the mutation and cancer, but rather to a new tool that can be used to determine if that relationship exists."
As she did in her previous concurring opinion, Judge Moore states that, "[i]f deciding this case on a blank canvas" she "might conclude that an isolated DNA sequence that includes most or all of a gene is not patentable subject matter, noting that "[t]he scope of the law of nature/manifestation of nature exception was certainly enlarged in Prometheus." However, as she opined previously she recognized here that this case is not decided on such a blank canvas, in view of the "expansive scope of patentable subject matter" authorized by Congress "for centuries." She also once again cites the "decades" of U.S. Patent and Trademark Office practice in granting patents on isolated DNA molecules and the "thousands of patents with claims to isolated DNA, and some unknown (but certainly large) number of patents to purified natural products or fragments thereof." Turning to an important and unaddressed concern underlying the "product of nature" argument espoused by plaintiffs and certain amici (once again, particularly the government), Judge Moore writes:
[P]urifying or isolating natural products has historically been exactly the kind of discovery protected by the patent statutes. There is a century-long history of affirming patent protection for isolated and purified biological products ranging from hormones to vitamins to proteins to antibiotics. These inventions must have seemed miraculous at the time, providing previously unknown therapeutic options to treat sickness. The fact that these molecules might have existed in nature did not foreclose patent protection in view of the extraordinary benefits accessible to man after isolation.
In view of this history, for Judge Moore "[w]e cannot, after decades of patents and judicial precedent, now call human DNA fruit from the poisonous tree, and punish those inquisitive enough to investigate, isolate, and patent it" regardless of whether there are "moral, ethical, or theological components" to the policy question of whether DNA molecules should be patented. Now as previously, Judge Moore believes that the patent eligibility of isolated DNA molecules "is a debate for Congress to resolve" and she once again is unwilling to "strip an entire industry of the property rights it has invested in, earned, and owned for decades unchallenged under the facts of this case."
As is the case with his judicial brethren, Judge Bryson substantially repeats his earlier opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part, parting company with the majority as to the patent eligibility of isolated genomic DNA molecules and oligonucleotides. Unlike the majority, Judge Bryson finds the Supreme Court's Mayo decision to be "instructive" although he also voices the opinion that the Mayo decision "does not decide this case." In analogy to the Court's requirement that there be something "inventive" added to the law of nature so that the claims add "enough" to be more than a mere statement of a natural law, Judge Bryson enunciates a requirement that "a patent involving a product of nature should have an inventive concept that involves more than merely incidental changes to the naturally occurring product." Here, the question for Judge Bryson is whether claims to a composition of matter "that is nearly identical to a product of nature" is "enough" for the applicant to have made an "inventive contribution" to the product of nature. On these grounds, Judge Bryson comes to the same conclusion as he has previously, joining the majority as to the cDNA claims but disagreeing that isolated genomic DNA or oligonucleotides are sufficiently "inventive" to be eligible for patenting. And as he has previously indicated, Judge Bryson is apparently convinced that because "[t]he informational content of the nucleotide sequences is the critical aspect of these molecules" the identity of the informational content of the claimed molecules and the molecules as they exist in nature is enough for Judge Bryson to conclude that these claims are not patent eligible.
In many ways, this decision reestablishes the status quo ante, and invites the Supreme Court to revisit its watershed decision on the expansive scope of patent eligibility, the Chakrabarty decision. Keeping in mind that Chakrabarty was decided by a vote of 5-4, this prospect, particularly in view of the (easily) perceived concerns and prejudices of the present Court, is disquieting. Perhaps that is why the introductory portion of the majority opinion took pains to announce what the case was "not" about:
Before reviewing the applicability of the Supreme Court's Mayo holding to the claims of the Myriad patents, however, it is important to state what this appeal is not about. It is not about whether individuals suspected of having an increased risk of developing breast cancer are entitled to a second opinion. Nor is it about whether the University of Utah, the owner of the instant patents, or Myriad, the exclusive licensee, has acted improperly in its licensing or enforcement policies with respect to the patents. The question is also not whether is it desirable for one company to hold a patent or license covering a test that may save people's lives, or for other companies to be excluded from the market encompassed by such a patent -- that is the basic right provided by a patent, i.e., to exclude others from practicing the patented subject matter. It is also not whether the claims at issue are novel or nonobvious or too broad. Those questions are not before us. It is solely whether the claims to isolated BRCA DNA, to methods for comparing DNA sequences, and to a process for screening potential cancer therapeutics meet the threshold test for patent-eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101 in light of various Supreme Court holdings, particularly including Mayo. The issue is patent eligibility, not patentability.
* * *
Accordingly, we once again conclude that claims 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 of the '282 patent; claims 1, 6, and 7 of the '492 patent; and claim 1 of the '473 patent directed to isolated DNA molecules recite patent-eligible subject matter under § 101. Mayo does not change that result. In so doing, we reiterate that the issue before us is patent eligibility, not patentability, about which we express no opinion.
Perhaps the Supreme Court will take these sentiments into consideration if (realistically, when) it finally hears this case.

Eighteen months after William & Mary appointed a committee of alumni, students, faculty and staff to search for a new mascot, school officials have finally announced their selection.
Their choice is the griffin, a mythical creature with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. It emerged the winner from a group that included four other finalists: a pug, a phoenix, a wren and royalty, represented by a king and a queen.
"The Griffin has joined the Tribe," said William & Mary President Taylor Reveley, who unveiled the new mascot Tuesday. "With its arrival, we now have a mascot that unites strength with intelligence, recalls our royal origins, and speaks to our deep roots in American history."
William and Mary began searching for a mascot when the NCAA ruled that its green and gold feather logo was offensive to Native Americans. The school will use this as its new logo, but remain known as the Tribe, the nickname it has used since the 1980s.
If you're still a little confused as to what a griffin has to do with "The Tribe," I don't blame you, but consider that it could be worse. At least William & Mary didn't go with Admiral Ackbar as a mascot like a certain SEC school is considering.

Great Lakes mobile beach app to be enhanced
CHICAGO – As swimming season begins in the Great Lakes, the Great Lakes Commission (GLC) reminds beachgoers and boaters to download myBeachCast, beachcast.glin.net, to get the latest swim advisories, weather conditions and hazard alerts for more than 2,000 beaches in the Great Lakes region.
myBeachCast will add an iOS (iPhone) version in the year ahead, as well as additional information about hazards and dangerous currents to increase the safety of beachgoers. The announcement was made by Christine Manninen, GLC communications director, at a news conference hosted by the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project today at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. The event kicked off Great Lakes Beach Safety Awareness week, designated by the Great Lakes governors as June 1-7.
"We want to ensure that people's time spent at the beach and enjoying our waters is safe and fun," Manninen said. "Through the use of mobile technologies, we have new ways to alert people to high waves and other dangerous conditions and hopefully save lives."
Funding for the beach app enhancements comes through a recently awarded grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Storms Program.
To help protect swimmers from dangerous currents, myBeachCast now features beach hazard statements issued by NOAA. Beach hazard statements are issued for Great Lakes beaches by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) when the potential for strong and dangerous (rip) currents and waves is medium or high.
Drownings in the Great Lakes are on the rise in recent years. The NWS incident reports indicate that on Lake Michigan alone there have been more than 300 current-related incidents since 2002 and over 60 percent of rescue attempts have occurred near piers and other permanent structures where dangerous currents are often present.
Swimmers should look for green, yellow and red flags at beaches, which indicate the presence of dangerous currents. In addition, beachgoers can follow these tips to stay safe:
- Ask children to wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket
- In an emergency, call 911 and communicate your exact location
- Bring something that floats if going in the water
- If caught in a dangerous current, alert someone that you're in trouble by shouting or waving your arms, and then float (don't panic) until someone can assist or you can swim at an angle out of the current to shore
- Avoid swimming near piers, breakwalls and other structures
- If there are high winds or waves, stay on shore. When in doubt, don't go out!
The Great Lakes Commission, in partnership with the Great Lakes states, LimnoTech and the Great Lakes Observing System, has developed myBeachCast to provide convenient, public access to swim advisories and related environmental conditions for public beaches in the Great Lakes region. Funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the app also includes real-time and forecasted weather and lake conditions, and nearshore marine forecasts. For additional information, visit beachcast.glin.net.

FAQ for Tsuro
List of game FAQs
A: The rules included in the box are really unclear about the dragon tile, but it is really quite simple. The dragon tile is a marker indicating who gets first draw in the event the draw pile runs out. This draw begins immediately upon the surrender of any (eliminated) player's tiles to the draw pile. The dragon tile remains either at the bottom of the draw pile, or in the hand of the first player unable to draw.
(The Kosmos edition of Tsuro has no dragon tile. It has 64 tiles, which is more than enough not to run out)
A: No, you have made a mistake somewhere. Your path should run from your starting point at the edge of the board to where you are now; this means endless loops are impossible. Try to figure out where you started, and trace your path again to where your pawn should be.
A: No, there is never a choice. On any intersection, go straight ahead - no matter how many paths intersect at that point.
A: There is always exactly one space you can place your tile, and that is the one next to your pawn. Placing a tile will always lengthen your own path, so you will always have to move your pawn after playing a tile.
A: No, there are exactly 35 tiles as these are exactly 35 possible different tiles with 4 paths each. This means it is possible to end up with multiple pawns around the last remaining gap - they are all considered winners.
(The Kosmos edition of Tsuro has 64 tiles, which is more than enough to fill the board completely)
A: Yes, it can: there are 35 tiles but 36 spaces on the board. It is possible for multiple pawns to end up at the edge of the remaining gap. There is a solitaire variant based on this.
(The Kosmos edition of Tsuro has enough tiles to fill the board completely, so either there is a winner or all remaining players are eliminated at the same time)
A: Go on, ignore the rule. Move the pawns as usual to the end of their paths and you will see they end up at each others starting point, i.e. off the board. Thus they are both eliminated regardless whether you use the collision rule or not.
A: First of all, the Kosmos edition board has two sides, one with the standard 6x6 grid, the other with a 7x7 grid. To fill this larger board, it also contains 64 tiles instead of 35. Nearly all tiles are included twice, with the following exceptions:
As there are sufficient tiles in the Kosmos edition, it contains no dragon tile.
