Students will further develop their communicative skills through intensive exposure to authentic reading in the target language, debates, in-class presentations, and discussions of cultural phenomena in depth, while increasing and enriching their vocabulary and being in contact with different registers. These units may include tests and/or final projects. Among other fields, these thematic units may encompass the study of the environment and sustainability of the Amazon rain forest, Afro-Brazilian heritage and tradition, media in the Portuguese-speaking world, culture and civilization of the Lusophone world, and the arts in general, which may also include participation in workshops and exhibitions.

PGSE3300 - Cultural Studies 2.5
Most of the students enrolling in this sequence will have thoroughly completed one year to three semesters of Portuguese and will typically have a proficiency level of "Intermediate-Low" (and occasionally "Intermediate-Mid"), according to the ACTFL proficiency guidelines. In this class, they will strengthen their knowledge of grammatical and syntactical structures and improve their mastery of the language while increasing vocabulary and functional communicative ability. Students will be also exposed to the reading of short stories and other authentic texts in the target language, participating actively in conversations and debates in both formal and informal learning settings. They also develop the ability to sustain communicative exchanges using connected discourse of paragraph length and substance, discussing several different topics related to the Lusophone world nowadays, as they exchange information widespread in the media, such as articles and news from magazines and newspapers, diminishing increasingly their pattern of errors. Most students successfully completing this sequence will emerge with a proficiency level of "Intermediate-High." Depending on motivation, effort, and previous knowledge, some students may progress to a level of "Advanced-Low" or "Advanced-Mid" during this sequence.

Comments about Patagonia Nano Puff Hoodie:
I love this jacket. It's super warm, but also really lightweight and packable. (You can use it as a pillow when it's all packed up in its pocket)
I originally had the jacket without a hood and loved it. It was way warmer than I could make sense out of. And I love how windproof it is. It's a good mid layer on cold days, too. I decided to upgrade to the hoodie this year and I love it.
My only issue with this is durability. I haven't had any real problems, but I'm always aware that it might rip. I've seen them with patches pretty regularly. Some of my stitching has come loose, too. Still, it's a great jacket that I wear all the time.
I love in rural alaska and it keeps me warm at pretty low temps.

Here at Jalopnik, where we have most definitely gone all-Hammond, all-the-time, we wanted to provide you with the latest update from our friends at the Beeb, who now report: Advertisement "Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond is improving but remains seriously ill in hospital after he crashed a jet-powered car during filming for the BBC show."But by no means is he out of the woods yet, the Beeb goes on to provide some of the first info we've seen on Hammond's injuries: Advertisement He was initially reported to have suffered serious head injuries and was taken to the neurological unit of Leeds General Infirmary by helicopter. The hospital confirmed that his wife was at his bedside and, at the request of his family, no further information would be released.So that at least explains why they've not had much else. But the Beeb's got the first comments we've yet seen from Top Gear's bold but brash Jeremy Clarkson. Jezza's quoted as saying:"I would just like to say how heartened Richard will be when I tell him just how many motorists and truck drivers on my way here wound down their windows to say they were rooting for him." Referring to Hammond by his nickname, Clarkson added: "Both James and I are looking forward to getting our hamster back."We'll have more later as the situation warrants and we now return you back to your original programming.

Farley's East, Oakland, CA 2016
Shire City Sanctuary, MA 2015
Anvil Gallery, Kingston, NY 2014
In response to the hyper-competitive art game, Cindy Hoose and Jacinta Bunnell played with their art to create the 52 pieces in your turn, dear, taking turns on each painting in a manner reminiscent of Exquisite Corpse. Their work directs our attention to the reasons we play games: to explore the world imaginatively, free of the hope for success or the fear of failure, and to connect with each other in the spirit of joy and sentimentality.
In taking turns painting, Hoose and Bunnell had to forego the solo artist's executive authority, risking each move to the counterplay of the other player, and enter into the uncertainty of outcome essential to all games. From firehouse bingo to Mah Jongg, games have functioned to educate, entertain, transmit tradition and facilitate human communion throughout history: your turn, dear celebrates this ongoing history and longs for a time and place where being social does not involve technology.
Hoose and Bunnell spent 52 weeks working with 52 vintage game boards-turned-canvases. In keeping with their commitment to make art from recycled materials, they scavenged yard sales and thrift stores for games and framing materials which became a series of paintings exploring the concept of play. Just as games can serve as a counterbalance to employment, where the worries of competition and promotion can dominate, the playful paintings in this show counteract the creeping contrivance of cultural art.
KMOCA (Kingston Museum of Contemporary Arts), 2010
Inspired by the artwork of the children in her life, Hudson Valley artist Jacinta Bunnell presented a collection of mixed media paintings created over the course of one year. This show featured all new work, shown alongside the drawings of young artists that influenced her art.
Children make art without trying to get paid or get famous. They typically do not dwell on whether art is good or bad. The art they make represents the very alive pictures within their imaginations. This body of work drew direct inspiration from the art of children Jacinta knows and loves. What this meant for the viewer was that they saw paintings of pirates, monsters, cats, monster cats, airplanes and foxes. Through her study she once and for all settled the argument about whether monsters are, in fact, real.
TeamLove Ravenhouse Gallery, 2013
Secret City, Woodstock 2016
These original drawings are a collaboration between Jacinta Bunnell and her step-father, Ed Antoine. Ed supplies Jacinta with daily score sheets from 13, a rummy card game brought back to their family in the 1970s from Jacinta's maternal grandparents. The game was imported from Ocean Breeze Trailer Park, Shirley and Bill Browning's retirement community in Jensen Beach, Florida. Jacinta adds color and pattern to Ed's neatly crafted grid work tally sheets to create this artwork.
At the time of its incorporation, this 45-acre park was said to be the largest privately owned trailer park in the United States. This charming community where Shirley and Bill spent their winters represents a bygone era in Florida's history, with it's small cottages and trailers, community bath and laundry rooms, and an entire building devoted to neighborhood games. Much of the rest of Florida's coasts have since been permeated with large mansions and condominiums. Dorothy Geeben was mayor of Ocean Breeze from 2001-11. When she was re-elected in 2004 at the age of 96, she was the oldest living mayor in the US. The residents of the town are among the few in the area who still receive mail delivered to their front doors instead of curbside.
Jacinta's family continues to play 13 every day and have developed a tight community of friends who stop by for games every weekend.
SUNY Ulster, Stone Ridge, NY 2013
Curated by Keiko Sono
The exhibit illustrated the richness and vibrancy of the arts community of the Hudson Valley, while actively contributing to such richness by making and strengthening connections within and beyond the arts community. The installation showed small segments of the artists' lives, such as a transplanted corner of an artist's studio and a sampling of wardrobe from another's closet, demonstrating that creativity is not confined to finished products. Participating artists included Christy Rupp, Kathy Ruttenberg, Neal Hollinger, Jacinta Bunnell, Polly Law, Beth Humphrey, Ken Greene, Wayne Montecalvo, Anne Gorrick, Dean Jones and Marlon DuBois.
Rosendale Cafe, 2008
This show was an artistic duet. Jacinta Bunnell and Cindy Hoose collaborated closely, sharing themes, color schemes, content and materials. While each of their work was done separately in their own studios, close planning and communication led to an engaging mirroring of styles and ideas. When Cindy and Jacinta come together, they can transform everyday materials into anything tangentially related to mythological creatures and baby animals, made up of found fabric scraps, lime green paint and vintage buttons. Each pair of paintings read like a carnival side show at Noah's ark.
Jacinta collects found ephemera such as playing cards and vintage flashcards and uses them to create miniature paintings.
Huguenot Street Farm, 2012
Pea Pods is a permanent installation in the CSA distribution barn at Huguenot Street Farm. Using historical documents, Pea Pods tells part of the story of Huguenot Street Farm in New Paltz. Long time CSA member, Jacinta Bunnell, spent one summer gathering deeds, maps and documents from the Hasbrouck family, the founders of Huguenot Street Farm CSA, as well as the Huguenot Historic Street Society and Ulster County Clerk's Office. Land auction papers, a treaty signed by the Munsee Indians and Open Space Institute maps are transformed into a dynamic abstract representation of the farm. As the farm itself asks us to know where our food comes from, this wall installation wants us to know what this land is, who was here, what happened here before us. This project was made possible by the support of Jeremy Mindich, Kate and Ron Khosla, Yess Construction, Michael Asbill, Michael Wilcock, Haviland-Heidgerd Historical Collection, Jody Abbott, Bibi Sandstrom, the Hasbrouck family, Huguenot Historic Street, Ulster County Clerk's Office and then-Mayor Jason West.
Allegheny College, 2010
The artists invited to participate in this exhibition presented diverse experiences of gender, sexuality and ethnicity. Though each of the artists works toward different specific ends, what united them is a refusal to conform to banal and limiting myths about prevailing systems of political representation, discourse, and their categorized place(s) within those systems. Their works question the complicated ways in which ideological hierarchies serve to distribute power, privilege and opportunity. Jacinta presented her coloring books as large posters for the museum-goers to collaboratively color in over the course of the exhibit.

Great timing, say analysts
Industry watchers said that the timing of Microsofts push into the security channel is nearly perfect, as many resellers are already re-examining their product offerings and evaluating which vendors will drive the most sales to customers in the coming years. The major question revolving around the SSA program, and sales of Microsofts security products in general, appears to be when, not if, companies will move to offer those technologies, said Tiffani Bova, analyst with Gartner of Stamford, Conn."I think its more of a question of whether they will move to embrace the products quickly or take a wait-and-see approach." Whether the channel partners that jump on board immediately will be those that traditionally sell other vendors security products, or if they are companies that have not dabbled in security, will help determine the overall speed with which Microsofts sales efforts get rolling, according to the analyst. Bova also said that there could be a more drawn-out period of time necessary to get newcomers up to speed, based on the need for companies to educate themselves on the intricacies of the security market. Paul DeGroot, analyst with Kirkland, Wash., researchers Directions on Microsoft, said that it may actually be security neophytes who are most eager to join SSA, based on their desire to tap into demand for the growing security market, and Microsofts promise to expand the space. In either scenario, he said, the software maker will be truly dependent on its partners to be successful in the sector. "Microsoft isnt going to succeed on basis of its products themselves; most were already on the market as with the Sybari technologies. So they really need to convince partners to get out there and sell them aggressively," said DeGroot. "Resellers who were already selling competitive products probably wont be willing to give up their other businesses, but Microsoft will try to take partners who havent sold security and get them into it." One issue that has followed Microsoft throughout the development of its security strategy is the notion that some customers may not yet be ready to trust the company to defend its own products, such as its Windows operating system, which have demanded frequent updating and patching to help close vulnerabilities in the software. Click here to read about a critical patch for Excel. For example, over the last four months, the company has patched 19 individual flaws in its dominant Microsoft Office software suite. The analysts said they dont see that perception as a long-term threat to Microsofts ability to sell security products, as long as those applications pass muster. Many of the tools have already gained acceptance while being sold by Sybari and other vendors Microsoft that has acquired. Microsoft partners said that most customers are not so much concerned with the software makers troubled past in securing its products as they are intrigued with its efforts to get into the security business. "Some people do come into the discussion a bit cynical or sarcastic about Microsofts efforts," said Neil Rosenberg, chief executive of reseller Quality Technology Solutions in Morris Plains, N.J. "But theyre also very willing to consider new alternatives within the context of security being a project that will never really be completed by anyone, or any one vendor." Check out eWEEK.coms for the latest security news, reviews and analysis. And for insights on security coverage around the Web, take a look at eWEEK.com Security Center Editor Larry Seltzers Weblog.
"With so many disruptive security technologies coming to market right now, and so many related programmatic disruptions for the channel, many companies are going to consider Microsoft seriously, and they have a very active channel already," Bova said.

Before I start work on a novel I get to know the characters in my head I live with them for a while, as I did with Nazneen and Chanu in Brick Lane; hearing their voices, listening to them talk to one another.
Writers are children who never grew up Kids are naturally inventive and curious and creative, but most adults have had that beaten out of them. Writing is a form of play; you have to get rid of all those internal censors that we adults have, the things that say, "Don't go there, that's not allowed."
People always want to identify a writer with their protagonist The first time it happened with me and my Brick Lane character, I was surprised when people started asking "Is it really you?" It's as if all the best novels must be some thinly disguised autobiography, which is total rubbish, but I see where it comes from: writers are similar to their books. So whether a book has a big warm heart or if it's prickly and misanthropic, it's a reflection of the author's personality. It took a few years on the literary festival circuit before that dawned on me.
If we dwelt on the happy times as much as low points, we'd all be a lot better adjusted But it's easier to notice when you're unhappy. And in fiction, sadness is easier to write about. Someone said, "Happiness writes white; it leaves no mark on the page." I always try to create conflict and drama in my books; it's the engine of the novel.
Change starts with you People don't get involved with local charities or politics because they think it's hard to make a difference and the problem feels overwhelming. But I believe that if all I've time for this year is to write one letter to the local council, it's still worth doing.
Twitter is like sitting in a café on the edge of a town square Sometimes you look up and see someone you know or notice someone new. I've only just joined and I'm really enjoying it – sharing links to articles with fellow authors, or posting about publishing. It could prove distracting when I start writing my next book, though.
I'm lost to the world when I'm writing It's an altered state which I love experiencing; all the day-to-day things fall away. I don't hear the doorbell go, I don't notice the phone ringing and I even wear the same smelly pyjamas again and again – they're just there by the side of the bed and I put them on again when I get up each morning, which is revolting.
We still long for another Princess Diana I'm fascinated by the way people keep comparing Kate [Middleton] with her. Kate seems like a nice person, but Diana, she was a one-off, a mesmerising figure who broke the mould. To me, she was this warm-hearted, empathetic woman who, while deeply troubled, refused to be told what to do, putting two fingers up to the establishment. I'll be watching the wedding, though; what people want is a happy ending this time.
My family can drive me nuts But the older I get the more I appreciate how important they are to me. My kids get to grow up around their cousins, while grandparents bring a calmer perspective to their lives. Last year I was away teaching in New York for six months, and I wouldn't have been able to do that without the whole family helping out.
The more I practise Ashtanga Yoga, the saner I feel My mind is rarely still, so it's a chance for me to be entirely focused on just my breath and the moment, rather than the myriad other things going on in my life.
Monica Ali, 43, is an author. 'Untold Story' (Doubleday, £16.99), a novel inspired by Princess Diana, is out on 31 March and can be pre-ordered now on amazon.co.uk and waterstones.comReuse content

Wendy Stratford wants out of what she calls her "perfect plastic" life. She's tired of her perfect blond hair, her perfectly successful, surgeon husband, and her perfect Christian life. She wants a chance to have a real life, so she devises a plan to carry on an affair in Jamaica with her piano teacher, Chris.
All is going as planned until Chris ends up in a horrible automobile accident. As a skilled accident reconstructionist, Wendi begins to detect inconsistencies in the accident report. Something is wrong. The "accident" begins to look like Chris was hit on purpose. Wendi is determined to find out what really happened but as she investigates people begin to die.
At first, I wanted to paint Wendi with the bored and neglected wife brush and sweep her aside. I felt a bit annoyed with Wendi for the first part of the story. When she began to rebel against her morals with a devil-may-care attitude, I was certain she was having a midlife crises set in motion by a faith crisis that she blamed on her husband. Even though her husband wasn't perfect, I didn't feel he was entirely the blame for her restlessness.
Then Wendi's personal story begins to unravel, revealing the pain and guilt she carried since her teen years due to an unwise choice which had embarrassing and life-altering consequences. Her mother's actions to preserve the family's perfect Christian image by covering up the mistake only cemented Wendi's need to be perfect by any means. It is then that Wendi's heartache and desperation to find her true self, her true identity is revealed. I felt bad judging and sweeping her aside merely on her wayward actions. Boy did I forget that deep-seated pain often motivates people to do things I can't understand. Isn't that where prayer instead of prejudice comes into play?
Perfect asks the question: how far will people go to atone for guilt? This story is full of deceit, guilt, cover-up, and revenge which magnify our need for forgiveness and grace.
The reader will be drawn into the storyline as the plot unfolds. At first you think you know where the story is going until Kraus throws the reader for a loop with an unexpected twist. Once the suspense tightens, Kraus does not let go until the final page is turned.Powered by Sidelines

The Archives
The Atholl family have been interested in their archives for generations. The 7th Duke listed all 40 boxes of estate charters and built new rooms in which to store them, now the public restaurant. He also wrote a 5 volume family history "The Chronicles of Atholl and Tullibardine" which is a mine of information on the family and area. The 9th Duke was responsible for encouraging a project by Aberdeen University which listed the next 35 trunks into the 19th century. The present archivist, Jane Anderson, has been in post for 30 years and been listing the more recent documents. Another volume of the Chronicles covering 1907-57 has also been compiled. After a fire in 2011 the archives were transferred from the north end of the castle to a purpose built store and search room in the historic clock tower on the castle forecourt. The documents are kept in a temperature and humidity controlled environment and researchers have a separate room
The Dunkeld Community Archive holds the regimental records for the Scottish Horse Regiment, which was raised by the 7th & 8th Dukes for service in the Boer War and fought at Gallipolli in the First World War. In the 2nd World War they became artillery and the records are less comprehensive. Contact 01350 727786 or email@example.com for more information.
Ancestral Research
If you are trying to follow in the footsteps of your ancestors in Highland Perthshire, perhaps we can help you in your quest!
Atholl Estates cover an area from Dunkeld to north of Blair Atholl, formerly incorporating parts of Huntingtower, Tullibardine, Balquidder and Glenalmond at various periods.
Records of the local people who lived and worked on the estate are held in the Blair Castle archive, located in the historic clock tower. Many of our records go back hundreds of years and provide two main sources for individual researchers; the rentals of farms and lists of servants.
If you are looking to trace a person, we require some family research to be done beforehand. Researchers should have a name, place and date in order for us to dig out any information.
The rentals only show the rent payer, not members of his family or his workers and the servant's lists give their position and wage. Unfortunately, our records do not show parents or descendants of these individuals. For help with tracing your family tree as fully as possible, we recommend using the Scotlandspeople website or the AK Bell library and Family History centre in Perth.(01738 475122) The more background you have before making an enquiry, the better the result!
When you've found your ancestor, submit your enquiry by clicking here. There is a £10 fee to cover the cost of initial research. After payment has been received, Jane will contact you. Alternatively, you can send a letter and a cheque to Ancestor Research, c/o Archivist, Blair Castle, Blair Atholl, Pitlochry, Perthshire, PH18 5TL.
The initial research will tell you if there is any trace of your ancestor, the position they held or the location they lived on the estate. If there is substantial further information, such as letters, we will get back to you to see if you want to proceed with further research or a site visit.
If you are researching your family history and are in the area and we have provided information on your request, you are welcome to make an appointment to visit the castle archivist, Jane Anderson. However booking is essential as she only works part time. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

|Arlington Park news release
Contact: David Zenner
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (May 4, 2007) – Peter Stamas and Crown's Way Farm's Do the Wave will go into the record books as the first winner on Arlington Park's state-of-the-art Polytrack surface. Eusebio Razo Jr. rode the Greg Geier-trained son of Dance Brightly who went the mile distance in 1:40.96 and paid $7.20, $3.60 and $3.20.
"The track feels real good," said Razo. "This horse handled it well. This will change the way that we ride. Nothing is coming back at you so now you can put a horse right behind (another horse) and not worry about dirt flying back at you."
The all-weather synthetic surface was installed this spring at an estimated cost of $11 million.
Arlington Park – the Chicago area's premier Thoroughbred racetrack located in Arlington Heights, Ill. – will run a 94-day meet in 2007 from Friday, May 4 through Sunday, Sept. 16. Arlington Park, whose parent company is Churchill Downs Incorporated (Nasdaq: CHDN), also operates nine off-track, simulcast-wagering facilities: Trackside Arlington Park (Arlington Heights), Trackside Chicago, Trackside Quad City Downs (East Moline), Trackside Rockford, Trackside Waukegan, Fat Sam's Bar & Grill featuring Trackside OTB in Lockport, Lucky's featuring Trackside OTB in South Elgin, Nicolino's featuring Trackside OTB in McHenry and The Inferno featuring Trackside OTB in South Beloit.

Easy task - Moving about 60'000 flash games between 2 websites
This project received 11 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $116 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids11
Project Description
We're new here at [url removed, login to view] but we've a long term and strong online reputation so we're now starting to build our rep. here too.
We need to copy all games currently hosted at [url removed, login to view] to [url removed, login to view] (about 60'500 swf games).
Both [url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view] are using the AvArcade script ([url removed, login to view]) so the first part of your job would be quite easy: you'll only need to copy all games hosted at [url removed, login to view] under the "games" directory, to the corresponding "games" dir at [url removed, login to view]
Then you'll need to study the best way to add phisically all these games to the website of [url removed, login to view], under the same categories to whom they've been associated at [url removed, login to view]
Considering both sites use the same script, you can analyze the existing games to study the best possible solution to this problem.
Both domains are hosted on the same Linux server, we'll leave you SSH access to both of them to make your job easier.
You'd have a full week of time to complete this easy job.
You only need a good php knowledge to be enough skilled to do it until the end.
You'll get ftp/cpanel access to both websites, of course.

By asserting that content strategy is the intersection of business analysis, user experience, and content development, we are laying claim to a profound change in the way we treat content. And we expect no less from the organizations that content serves. When we treat content, instead of a drain, as a corporate asset, when we look at its untapped potential instead of its cost, when we think about content in terms of consumer and corporate benefit, we are looking at content through a strategic lens.

I used this to replace the factory Bose system sub in my Maxima. I used the dual 2 ohm voice coils in parallel with the factory amp off of the back of the factory sub to power it. I changed out the failing factory head unit with a DEH-80PRS (Highly Recommended!) and dropped the Kicker into the factory opening in the rear deck. The bass is much tighter and has more presence. The presence could be from the ability to separate the signal with the new head unit though. The factory sub amp powers the driver just fine, however I do believe the sub could handle more power therefore making it even cleaner. The single 8" will not set off car alarms or get you a ticket under city ordinances but it will make the listening experience more enjoyable. The Bose systems are meant to be dead flat with no spike in any frequency band. This is very nice but sometimes you want a little more bump and this does just that. I plan to add some more power to kick it a little harder when I want too.

Re: i want some colors on my sms
Did you download the GoSMS app or one of the GoSMS themes? The themes won't work with the standard Android SMS app; they are used with the Go SMS app. The actual Go SMS app allows quite a bit of customization even without using themes. If you haven't downloaded it yet, I suggest trying it.

[author: Courtenay C. Brinckerhoff]
In a decision issued November 1, 2012 in Exelixis, Inc. v. Kappos, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has found that the USPTO's interpretation and application of the "RCE carve-out" provision of the Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) statute is contrary to law. Although I wrote about some "RCE carve-out" challenges just last week, the decision here reaches an even broader interpretation of the statute.
Under the district court's interpretation, 35 USC § 154(b)(1)(B)(i) only comes into play if a Request for Continued Examination (RCE) is filed within the three-year period from the application's filing date. Under this interpretation, a significantly greater number of patents may be entitled to significantly greater PTA awards. It is too early to know whether the USPTO will appeal this decision. In the meantime, patent holders with affected patents may wish to consider pursuing additional PTA in a Request for Reconsideration filed with the USPTO or in a district court proceeding, if the deadline for pursuing such an action has not passed.
Patent Term Adjustment
The PTA statute (35 USC § 154(b)) was created to compensate for delays in the patent examination process that can eat away at the effective term of the patent, now that patent term is measured from the earliest U.S. priority date rather than the patent grant date. The statute provides "guarantees" against different types of USPTO delays, and requires a day-for-day deduction of Applicant delays against USPTO delays.
"A" delay accrues when the PTO fails to act in accordance with set timeframes (such as issuing a first office action within 14 months, issuing a second action or allowance within 4 months of a response, and issuing a patent within 4 months of the Issue Fee payment).
"B" delay accrues when the PTO fails to issue a patent within three years of the actual filing date of the patent application.
"C" delay accrues when the application is involved in an interference or appeal, or is subject to a secrecy order.
The RCE Carve-Out
The filing of an RCE can impact the PTA award for B delay under 35 USC § 154(b)(1)(B)(i), which provides:
(B) GUARANTEE OF NO MORE THAN 3-YEAR APPLICATION PENDENCY.- Subject to the limitations under paragraph (2), if the issue of an original patent is delayed due to the failure of the United States Patent and Trademark Office to issue a patent within 3 years after the actual filing date of the application in the United States, not including-
(i) any time consumed by continued examination of the application requested by the applicant under section 132(b) ….
(i) any time consumed by continued examination of the application requested by the applicant under section 132(b) ….
The USPTO's interpretation of the RCE carve-out is set forth in 37 CFR § 1.703(b)(1):
(b) The period of adjustment under § 1.702(b) is the number of days, if any, in the period beginning on the day after the date that is three years after the date on which the application was filed under 35 U.S.C. 111(a) or the national stage commenced under 35 U.S.C. 371(b) or (f) in an international application and ending on the date a patent was issued, but not including the sum of the following periods:
(1) The number of days, if any, in the period beginning on the date on which a request for continued examination of the application under 35 U.S.C. 132(b) was filed and ending on the date the patent was issued ….
Under the USPTO's interpretation, once an RCE is filed, the patent no longer accrues "B" delay, although it might still accrue "A" delay and/or "C" delay.
The Question Presented
As characterized by the district court, Exelixis raised the following question:
Whether 35 § 154(b)(1)(B) requires that an applicant's PTA be reduced by the time attributable to an RCE, where, as here, the RCE is filed after the expiration of AIPA's guaranteed three year period.
The district court found that the statute's "plain language neither addresses nor requires" that PTA be deducted under those circumstances.
(Exelixis also challenged the RCE carve-out on narrower grounds, as I have written about previously.)
The District Court's Analysis
The district court reviewed the historical context of the PTA statute–the transition to a patent term measured from the application's filing date and Congressional intent to compensate applicants for USPTO delays. The court also reviewed the patent prosecution process, and noted that RCEs can be a normal step.
Against this backdrop, the court considered the statutory language. The court presented the relevant language as follows:
Subject to the limitations under paragraph (2), if the issue of an original patent is delayed due to the failure of the United States Patent and Trademark Office to issue a patent within 3 years after the actual filing date of the application in the United States, not including:
(i) any time consumed by continued examination of the application requested by the applicant under section 132(b);
. . .
the term of the patent shall be extended 1 day for each day after the end of that 3-year period until the patent is issued.
The court reasoned:
Simply put, the goal of this subparagraph, as its title indicates, is a "Guarantee of no more than 3-year application pendency." It accomplishes this goal by (i) starting a three year clock on the date the application is filed, (ii) tolling the running of this clock if, within the three year period, any of three events occur, including an RCE filing, and (iii) adding a day for day PTA to the patent term for any delay in the issuance of the patent after the three year clock, less any tolling, runs out.
As understood by the district court, the "not including" portion of subparagraph (B) … clearly and unambiguously modifies and pertains to the three year period and does not apply to, or refer to, the day for day PTA remedy." Rather, the statute's "second calculation is simply a day for day addition to the PTA for every day beyond the end of the three year clock until the patent issues."
The district court found that this interpretation is not only "compelled" by the plain language of the statute, but also comports with its "structure and purpose." In this regard, the court found it significant that the statute does not treat the filing of an RCE as "applicant delay" that warrants a PTA reduction under §154(b)(2)(C). The district court therefore could not support the USPTO's interpretation, which "in essence construed subparagraph (B) to punish the applicant for filing the RCE," rather than treating RCE's as a "valuable tool in the patent prosecution process."
The district court noted that under this reading, the statute "does not address the filing of an RCE after the expiration of the three year clock." Rather, the statute "makes clear that once the three year clock has run, PTA is to be awarded on a day for day basis regardless of subsequent events." The court explains that, under the PTA statute, "RCE's are something for which the three year clock should be tolled, but not something that reduces the PTA."
The USPTO's Arguments
The district considered and rejected the following USPTO arguments:
First, the PTO argues that a proper reading of subparagraph (B) requires the insertion of the word "then" prior to the phrase "not including" that is followed by (i), (ii), and (iii). According to the PTO, inserting the word "then" at that point allows subparagraph (B) to be read so that time consumed by an RCE is deducted from the day for day remedy for the PTO's failure to meet the three year guarantee deadline. The short and dispositive answer to this argument is that the word "then" does not appear in the statute and the PTO's insertion of the word in its reading is not a construction of the provision but rather a re-writing of it.
Next, the PTO argues that its construction of subparagraph (B) deserves Skidmore … deference. …. Again, the short answer here is that Skidmore deference is unwarranted, when, as here, the statute is unambiguous. [The court also noted that the USPTO's interpretation would not have been entitled to Chevron deference because the statute is not ambiguous.]
Finally, the PTO argues that its reading of subparagraph (B) avoids absurd results. Under the PTO's view, the plain language of subparagraph (B) may lead to disparate treatment of some similarly situated applicants, depending on whether the applicant files the RCE before or after the expiration of the three year period. But such disparities arise only at the margins and the Federal Circuit rejected similar arguments in Wyeth ….
Thus, the court held:
The plain and unambiguous language of subparagraph (B) requires that the time devoted to an RCE tolls the running of the three year clock if the RCE is filed within the three year period. And, put simply, RCE's have no impact on PTA if filed after the three year deadline has passed
The plain and unambiguous language of subparagraph (B) requires that the time devoted to an RCE tolls the running of the three year clock if the RCE is filed within the three year period. And, put simply, RCE's have no impact on PTA if filed after the three year deadline has passed
No Sympathy for USPTO Delays
In several places in its opinion, the district court notes that the USPTO itself can solve many of the problems it alleges will arise under the court's interpretation by examining applications earlier, so that an RCE (if necessary) would be filed before the three-year clock has run. While I disagree with some of the court's specific suggestions for forcing earlier RCE filings, I welcome the court's reminder that the filing of an RCE more than three years after the application's filing date more often than note stems from the USPTO delays that the statute was intended to address.
Addressing the RCE Backlog
Lurking behind this decision is the significant backlog that applications endure after an RCE has been filed. Internal USPTO policies, including the "count" system for quantifying examiner production and the docketing system for prioritizing examiner workloads, disincentivize the examination of RCEs with notable effects. According to the USPTO's Data Visualization Center, the average delay from an RCE to the next office action is the highest it has ever been (at 5.6 months as of August 2012) and has been climbing steadily for the past two years. (Anecdotally, it is not unusual for RCE to experience delays of one year or longer, depending on the technology center and examiner workload.) Not surprisingly, the backlog of RCEs awaiting continued examination also has been growing steadily, from just over 42,000 in August 2010 to just shy of 100,000 in August 2012 (99,274 as reported by the USPTO).
Although USPTO officials recently have indicated that they are working to address the RCE backlog, these numbers show that the problem is growing with every day of USPTO delay. While Director Kappos is rightfully proud of the reduced number of new applications awaiting examination, until the RCE backlog is addressed, it appears that the USPTO may be shifting applications from one category to another, without completing its mandate to fully examine applications and grant patents that could help promote innovation and stimulate the economy.

About this Item
- Title
- Fast mail, Northern Pacific R. R.
- Other Title

- Summary
- From Edison films catalog: Here is a twelve car train dashing along at a high rate of speed. It is seen first in the distance and approaches and passes by the camera. As it takes less than 30 seconds to show this 50 foot strip on a Projecting Kinetoscope, an idea may be formed of the speed of this pet train of the Northern Pacific Railway. The waving grass along the track side, the black smoke, and the clouds of dust that follow the train, make very vivid effects. 50 feet. $7.50.
- Advertised as part of the "Northern Pacific Railway Series" (Edison films catalog): The following pictures were taken by our artists at various points on the Northern Pacific Railway. We are greatly indebted to their officials who afforded us every opportunity in their power to obtain these splendid views. Many of the scenes are incident to the excitement prevailing at the time of the Klondike gold rush. They show the resources of this company for handling large numbers of people, baggage, freight and excursion parties, and give to prospective tourists and merchants an idea of the facilities with which this road handles traffic of all kinds (p. 9).

"Paranormal State" was a reality show on A&E that followed a group of paranormal investigators called the Paranormal Research Society, founded by Ryan Buell, 31, when he was a 19-year-old Penn State student.
The show aired its last episode in May 2011 and then a year later, Buell revealed he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He now opens up to People about his battle with cancer and what it was liking coming to terms with his own mortality.
"At times, I was experiencing almost like a traffic jam in my body and my kidneys would shut down or I'd be in insane, intense abdominal pain, like I was being stabbed to death," says Buell. "I was throwing up constantly, suffering fever, changing of the skin. It took some time to get things under control."
"I had a friend who came [to see me]. An older gentleman, Charles, who was in his early 60s – we met him through Paranormal State. He was a former priest, and he became like an uncle. He talked to me about how … having faith means accepting loss sometimes and just knowing it's going to be okay," Buell continues.
"Faith isn't when you keep getting rewards over and over again. Having faith is making peace with the fact that you may die, but you know it's gonna be okay. He ended up passing away two weeks before my surgery, so he wasn't able to see it through.
So [my fight] was for him and for my family. And, in a way, for the underdogs, because people were saying they weren't expecting me to live for three months. Here I was a year later. I had to go to death's door, in a way, and I had to accept that. And suddenly I found that there was a beauty to it. Maybe faith is accepting loss and death."
"They did remove the tumor laparoscopically, and there has been no spread. My body is still not 100 percent, I'm still weak, I still have to be careful of what I eat. I have to be a bit more mindful – I can't go 100 m.p.h. like I used to. I won't travel as much, and now I just have to be a bit more patient," says Buell. "I also had my gallbladder removed due to complications there. My kidneys are extraordinarily weakened because of this, so I'm still experiencing a lot of the symptoms. We're monitoring and trying to figure out what those next steps are."
"[The doctors] are very happy, but I still have a road ahead. It's a process. There's a whole line of other people that have it worse than I."
