Are You Feeling Lucky?
We sure hope so. You survived the end of the world yesterday, didn't you? (Those not surviving the end of the world, please stop interrupting.) Now we've found a piece on Trulia on the numerology of home sales.
This means you can continue your lucky lifestyle, thanks to Trulia's research. It turns out that a lot of home sellers put their favorite "lucky numbers" in their asking prices.
So what's wrong with this pie chart at right? Too many nines and fives, yet not enough eights, that's what. Everyone knows that eights are lucky. Well, everyone in the Real Bay Area knows that. The lucky numbers in the rest of the country say otherwise.
This consolidated map suggests that there aren't any particular lucky numbers in the Midwest, the Plains, the Rocky Mountains or the Pacific Northwest, just a countrywide avoidance of the number 13 in prices. And here's some more on 8 as a lucky number.
We took a spot-check of the asking prices in Cupertino, right now, over a million dollars (which is pretty much all of them).
We came up with one 1, one 2, one 6, three 9s, seven 5s, and a whopping ten 8s. We just had to make a pie chart out of that. Until today, we had no idea that donuts were a subset of pie.
If we then take the sub-million houses, we get an additional one 1, four 5s and two 8s.
We then compare with similarly sized cities (at least as to number of sales over a million) with rather different demographics. San Rafael is majority white, and Oakland, while one of the most racially diverse cities, has a higher percentage of blacks than many other areas.
Whoa. There's 4s in Oakland, which is a very unlucky number in Cupertino. All three cities have a strongly marked preference for 5 over 9, while nationally it's the other way by almost 2 to 1.
We welcome your reasoning on why this would be, or anything else you wish to bring up in this Weekend-after-the-end-of-the-world Open Thread.

Two Teens Shot in Broad Daylight in East Yakima
Two Yakima teens were shot today near 3rd and Maple in East Yakima at about 11:15 this morning. A 15 year old was shot in the head and according to Yakima Police is not expected to survive. A 17 year old was also shot and he has been transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Yakima Police Captain Rod Light says "the two boys were just walking down the street when they were shot, they had just left a grocery store." Light also said investigators are still trying to piece together what happened. Their are some gang ties but Light stopped short in saying that the shooting was gang related. Adams Elementary School and Washington Middle School were put in lockdown for a short time as a precaution. KIMA Action News Photo

MILTON, Mass. – Junior Kevin Fruwirth (Agawam, Mass.) threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, leading Curry to a come-from-behind 34-24 victory over visiting Nichols in New England Football Conference (NEFC) Boyd Division action Saturday afternoon in Milton. The Colonels improve to 4-4 overall and 3-2 in Boyd play, while the Bison fall to 1-7 overall and 1-4 in divisional action.
Nichols opened the scoring at 4:52 of the first quarter, capping off a nine-play, 72-yard drive with a two-yard push into the end zone by freshman Andre Rickerson (Boston, Mass.).
Curry got the equalizer just 43 seconds into the second frame as Fruwirth fired an 18-yard scoring strike to senior Robert Bambini (Westwood, Mass.). That finished off a brief three-play, 23-yard drive and knotted the score at 7-7.
The Bison reclaimed the lead with 9:39 left in the first half, driving 69 yards on five plays, including a five-yard touchdown toss from junior Pat Viencek (Bernardston, Mass.) to senior David Gonzalez (Springfield, Mass.).
With just over seven minutes remaining in the half, Curry tied the game again (14-14), marching 80 yards down field on six plays. Fruwirth led the drive with four completed passes on five attempts for 86 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown toss to sophomore Jordan Shairs (Gloucester, Mass.).
Nichols continued the back-and-forth affair, claiming a 21-14 edge at intermission after an 11-yard scoring pass from Viencek to junior Joe Lambert (New Haven, Conn.) with 1:56 on the clock.
The Colonels received the second-half kickoff and would need just 1:37 to pull even at 21-21. Fruwirth was the catalyst again, completing four passes on five attempts, but ultimately used his legs to rush for an eight-yard touchdown.
With 6:30 remaining in the third, senior Rashad Sims (Beverly, Mass.) intercepted a pass in the end zone to stop a Bison drive. However, the Curry offense fumbled the ball on its first play, and Bison sophomore Kris Williams (East Hartford, Conn.) recovered the loose ball on the Colonels' 44-yard line.
After seven plays and 22 yards, the Nichols offense had to settle for a 39-yard field goal by freshman Casey Lombardi (West Haven, Conn.) with 2:52 left in the third frame. Curry would take its first lead of the game as time expired in the third frame. A six-play, 71-yard drive ended on another Fruwirth-to-Bambini connection, this time from four yards out. After missing the extra point, the Colonels led 27-24.
Curry extended its lead, and scored the final points of the day, with 11:20 remaining in the contest. A one-yard push by Shairs finished off the 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive.
The Colonels held significant edges in first downs (31-22) and total offensive yards (530-376).
Fruwirth was 30-for-45 for 375 yards and three touchdowns. In the process, he established school records for completions (222) and attempts (384) in a season. Junior Phil Bigelow (East Orange, N.J.) ran for a game-high 112 net rushing yards on 18 attempts. Bambini reeled in 12 receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Bambini surpassed his own school record for receptions in a season with 70. For the Bison, Viencek was 23-for-41 for 350 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Gonzalez recorded five receptions for 71 yards and one touchdown.
On defense, Sims led the Colonels with 10 solo tackles and one interception. Junior Sam Calley (Weymouth, Mass.) had five total tackles (4 solo), including four tackles for loss (-24 yards) and two sacks (-21 yards). For Nichols, Williams amassed eight solo tackles, including one tackle for loss (-2 yards). He also had a blocked field goal attempt and a fumble recovery. Sophomore Alex DiNardo (Wellington, Fla.) had eight total tackles (6 solo), including 3.5 tackles for loss (-17 yards) and three sacks (-14 yards).
Both teams return to Boyd Division action next Saturday, as Curry travels to UMass Dartmouth for a 12:00 p.m. contest, while Nichols hosts M.I.T. at 2:30 p.m.

Recently two visitors came to visit me: my husband, Robert, and Kin, our year-and-a-half old, 18-pound dog. Kin's playfulness and easy way of loving became a central joy in our daily interactions.
We began each day in our small, candlelit meditation room. Settling into the darkness, we chanted and sat in silence as the day broke. We invite Kin to sit with us, and he usually settles down for a snooze in someone's lap.
One morning, however, Kin was excited about something outside, and when he came into the meditation room, he saw a large, dark, unfamiliar shape which resembled the large, black trash bags he is afraid of. This set him into a frenzy of barking.
It was just one of our friends who, sitting on the floor and feeling a chill, put her hood up over her head. But Kin didn't seem to recognize her, and even as she reached her hand out to be smelled, he continued his frantic barking. When Robert tried to gather him up, he backed away and began barking at him too.
I finally picked Kin up and settled him in my lap, but I could feel the tenseness in his body and noticed his self-soothing licking. I hoped that my friend was not hurt or offended by Kin's reaction to her (she wasn't).
Then I remembered that I, too, had been barked at that week. Not by Kin, but from a sharp, accusing email I had received which was a total surprise. I had yet to unpack the bundle of feelings around it, so this seemed a good time to reflect on the experience.
My initial reaction on reading the email was the shock of a punch. Then, because the accusations hadn't been generated by any interaction or even contact, I didn't get pulled into the story but I still felt hurt at being wrongly accused and at not being seen for who I am. And under all that was a sadness, as this attack seemed to deny and reject years of good times and deep friendship we had enjoyed together. So it was important for me to take good care of myself, to allow the shock, hurt and sadness time to breathe.
Next, I thought about Kin's behavior — his looking at this large, dark shape with fear and aggression, when in fact it was a playmate he had delighted in earlier. I saw how his barking took him over, how he became more and more isolated until he couldn't even see Robert as safe.
The truth is that, in life, I have also been a barker. Watching Kin, I came face to face with how painful and isolating it is to be barked at and also how painful it is to be the barker. The experience fuelled a deep desire in me to never again bark at anyone.
The questions I continue to ponder are: how can I help myself and others when we are barked at? How can I learn to no longer bark at others? How can I see clearly, no longer mistaking beloved fellow beings for unknown potential enemies? How can I make friends with all of life, both familiar and unfamiliar?

A number of players from the local women's hoops scene were on display as the Philadelphia NCAA Summer Basketball League launched its 2011 season last Thursday evening. The league showcases a wide chronological range of post-scholastic athletes, from incoming college freshmen to those who earned their degrees some time ago, such as 1998 Philadelphia University graduate Kisha Thompson.
First up on opening night were the Guynn sisters, Kris, a Germantown Academy alumna, and Nikki, a member of the Class of 2010 at Penn Charter. Kris, the elder, graduated from George Washington University in 2008, and now works for the Philadelphia Eagles in the area of community relations. Nikki is attending Temple University, but is not on the basketball team there.
The younger Guynn netted a pair of free throws in a losing cause as her "Purple" squad fell to the "Columbia Blue" franchise, 67-44. The Purple included Cheltenham High alum Ashley Gale (who just finished up at La Salle University) and three other NCAA Division I players, but while their opponents were Division II athletes, they all play together at West Chester University. League rules prohibit more than a handful of players from any one Division I program from joining the same team.
Kris Guynn also finished with two points, with a field goal. Her Teal team had the final shot of the game fall back off the rim and lost to the "Black" ballclub, 61-59. The Teal line-up featured another former Cheltenham High and La Salle player, Stacey Smalls, along with some former Temple University standouts. The Black roster included Upper Dublin High and 2011 Swarthmore College grad Kathryn Stockbower, whose mother, Anne Marie, ran The Stencil Shop in Chestnut Hill for many years.
The second round of games last Thursday featured the 2010 champions, who are masterminded by Mount St. Joseph Academy parent Ted Hagedorn and have changed colors to Kelly Green this season. The roster includes his daughter Elle (who will return shortly from a Harvard University foreign study program in Italy), and Sarah McGorry, a member of the Mount's 2008 PIAA state championship team and now a rising senior at Lafayette College.
Their teammates include two players well known in Girls Inter-Ac League circles, former Academy of Notre Dame stars Devon Kane (Villanova) and Katie Kuester (St. Joseph's). Kuester was out of action celebrating her 21st birthday, but Kane scored 17 points and McGorry deposited 14 as Kelly Green won its opener, 70-54, over Lime Green, an outfit made up entirely of Philadelphia University players.
Two other area athletes didn't fare as well; most of the women on their Cardinal Red team weren't used to playing together and that became evident in an 83-56 setback against Royal Blue. Chant'al Hardy, a 2010 graduate of Chestnut Hill College, put up 11 points in the losing cause, and four points were provided by Mary Jo Horgan, who just graduated from Mount St. Joseph Academy and will play for Lehigh University.
Horgan encountered an old adversary in Thursday's contest; former Villa Maria Academy center Erin Mann is one of half-a-dozen current Holy Family University players on the Royal Blue roster. Hardy, a former 1000-point scorer at Cardinal Dougherty High School, is the cousin of Springside School's Elana Roadcloud (a rising senior), who attended Dougherty until it closed in 2010 and then came to play for the Lions.
Several current Chestnut Hill College players are listed on the Gold team's roster, but they didn't play in the league opener last week.

Attorney General Lockyer Establishes Office of Immigrant Assistance in California Department of Justice
Assembly Member Wesson Introduces Legislation to Support New Office
(LOS ANGELES) – Citing California as the most diverse region in the world, Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced creation of the Office of Immigrant Assistance in the California Department of Justice.
"California is the most diverse region in the world with 244 different languages spoken here," Lockyer said. "Many new immigrant working families are contributing to this diversity. To help overcome language and cultural barriers that may contribute to immigrants becoming victims of discrimination and exploitation, I am establishing a new Office of Immigrant Assistance in my Civil Rights Section to help protect the rights of these California consumers and working families."
Although often victimized, many immigrants are reluctant to seek assistance from law enforcement agencies, such as the local police, sheriff or even the California Department of Justice. The new Office of Immigrant Assistance will provide education and outreach services to immigrant communities throughout the state. The office also will be able to direct complaints to appropriate law enforcement agencies and help immigrant communities to understand and use the legal system to seek redress.
"In America, nearly every family started out as immigrants," Lockyer said. "New immigrants have always been among the hardest working members of society and they continue to make enormous contributions to California in terms of energy, optimism and productivity. No matter when we entered this country, we all deserve justice. By creating this Office of Immigrant Assistance, I want to ensure that Californians who happen to be new immigrants have the benefit of protection under our laws and that there is truly 'justice for all' in California."
Lockyer was joined by Los Angeles Assembly Member Herb Wesson, who is authoring legislation, AB 698, to ensure the continuation of the Office of Immigrant Assistance in the California Department of Justice.
"Everyone who lives in this state, regardless of his or her race, ethnicity or national origin is entitled to the same protection with respect to civil rights, consumer safety and protection against harassment and discrimination," Wesson said. "My legislation would ensure that the education, outreach and civil rights protections being put in place now by Attorney General Lockyer will remain available to help immigrants to California for years to come."
According to a recent University of Southern California study, 26 percent of California's residents are foreign-born. Like immigrants of the past, the new and emerging immigrant communities in California are enriching the state's culture, increasing our labor pool and helping to build our ever-changing and dynamic economy.
Lockyer said the focus of the Office of Immigrant Assistance is to ensure that foreign-born Californians are aware of the protections afforded them by the State's civil rights and consumer protection laws. As an example, the Attorney General provided a sample brochure that will be made available by the new office to help consumers avoid falling victim to fraud and abuse by immigration consultants who have charged thousands of dollars without providing promised services.

This activity will take approximately 65 minutes.
After participating in this activity plan, which is designed to help participants learn about backcountry travel, they will be able to
Group members will participate in three activities. "Are You Ready?" demonstrates the importance of trip planning. Next, "Will You Make It?" reveals the key elements to consider when trip planning. Finally, participants create a "Planning and Preparation Checklist" as a focal point to wrap up the activity plan.
Use "Are You Ready?" to get the group energized. Break participants into groups of three to five. Explain that you are going on an imaginary day hike. Build suspense by asking participants to guess the destination. Show the destination pictures and describe (weather, terrain, etc.) the location you have selected. Explain the goal of the tripfor example, wildlife viewing or fishing. Ask the group to unpack their packs and discuss answers to the following questions. (The leader must read the questions below to help facilitate discussion.)
|Note: Because participants packed their packs without information, it is unlikely they will be adequately prepared. The "Are You Ready?" activity will demonstrate the importance of planning before packing.
Ask the small groups to briefly share the answers to the above questions. Key facilitator discussion points:
Travel Card Key
Event Card
Solution Card
This activity will teach participants how to identify events that can interfere with a successful trip. These are real-life scenarios contributed by experienced field rangers who see poorly prepared groups suffer because they do not plan ahead. "Will You Make It?" emphasizes the need to plan solutions to potential problems before a trip.
1. Match events and solutions. Evenly distribute the travel event and solution cards. Some group members may need to share cards if the group is larger than 16. The goal is to have participants find the group member with the corresponding event or solution card and form a pair. The leader may want to use the key to ensure correct pairing.
2. Plan a presentation. Once all solutions are matched to the corresponding events, have each pair plan some way to teach the plan-ahead concept. Allow group members to be imaginative. Some ideas include pantomime, acting out, lecture, and drawing.
3. Give a presentation. Have each pair use their chosen presentation method to teach their concept to the rest of the group.
Facilitate learning by discussing the scenarios after they are presented. Make sure each event is discussed. Emphasize the key elements of trip planning presented in the "Will You Make It?" handout and the Background on the Principles of Leave No Trace. Tie these key elements to the importance of good preparation.
Create a "Planning and Preparation Checklist" you can use to plan your next trip. Use the answers to these questions in creating the checklist.
Congratulations on conducting a well-organized meeting for your group!
Your group has participated in three activitiesone identifies the importance of trip planning, another identifies key elements to consider when planning a trip, and the third can be used as a tool for planning a trip. How well has your group learned the importance of trip planning? If the group needs additional help, try these activities.

About Robothustra
I'd totally do it but I think we'd need a total system overhaul in order to pull it off. There are too many restrictions in place that would prevent this from happening the way it needs to happen to not piss off viewers. Also, as soon as they tried to charge me money for it I'd go back to not caring about the authorized versions and watching whatever I want for free.
You don't even have to illegally download stuff anymore to watch for free. There are streaming sites all over the world where one can find unauthorized content (and you don't even have to look that hard to find what you want to watch). Sure, sometimes the quality suffers - but it's the content I'm interested in. It's the same reason why microcinema has become so popular. There were many who said microcinema would never catch on because viewers wouldn't put up with the crappy quality, but clearly they were proven wrong.
I think that even though it is somewhat childish, it's a brilliant idea to give these guys a taste of their own medicine. Suddenly it's wrong when someone else is doing it back to you (even though in this case it's just a prank to show how messed up the system really is). I'm glad someone had the gall to do it.
They're absolutely correct, if the public saw video of police beating someone innocent, it would creating a "chilling effect." Don't tase me, bro.
So quick to judge others, yet you yourself, do not use complete sentences. Fascinating...
But to comment on the original post, no, many artists do not give credit for the inspiration of all of their works (nor do they have to).
Yes, but in this case, the artist was not re-creating the paper sculpture, but creating something entirely new (a painting) out of the instructions for how to re-create a paper sculpture.
I look at it like this: People often file such outrageous lawsuits because when you look at what major corporations do - it's the same thing. We cannot allow large corporations with large sums of money to do it and then expect others not to.
I have 2 things to add:
1 - I completely agree that this is reducible to childish complaining... Do mp3 players require additional licensing from record companies before I can sync my music library with it? Nope. So why should music lockers? Someone could take this further and create an mp3 player that has no HDD and streams your entire music collection from a remote server (This could connect via a wifi connection or through services similar to that offered by mobile providers).
2 - The "digital receipt" argument is pathetic and laughable at best. As with all other similar concepts, this would be easy for hackers to work around... This means that as with all other DRM, the legitimate consumers are being punished for what alleged copyright infringers are doing.
This is not the free market at work. This is not survival of the fittest. What's happening here is that the big dogs have run out of juice. They can't keep up and they can't innovate so instead of playing by the rules, they're throwing their money around to try to change the rules. It's an incredibly simply and sadly an incredibly effective tactic on their end. They have been doing this forever and without solving the underlying problem (allowing businesses with enough money to essentially change the rules of the game), this will never cease to happen.
This ties in incredibly well with the post: "US On What Makes A Good Canadian Heritage Minister: Willing To Disappoint Canadians To Please Big Business" (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110428/17263314074/us-what-makes-good-canadian-heritage-minister -willing-to-disappoint-canadians-to-please-big-business.shtml), where the ominous quote goes:
"Canadian Heritage ministers must be strong enough to disappoint that core constituency in order to strike compromises with other departments, primarily Industry Canada."
This is the prevailing attitude. Most people aren't even blind to it anymore, they just feel that there is little they can do about it. At some point, we need to grow up and let ineffective businesses fail - hard. If you can't provide goods or services that people are willing to spend their hard-earned money on, then you should absolutely be allowed to fail.

Romanian sausage to be saved under new EU rules
MOGOSOAIA, Romania (AP) — Romania's national dish looks like it will be granted a European Union reprieve.
The Romanian Meat Association says officials in Brussels have agreed that bicarbonate of soda, which gives spicy "mici" bullet-shaped grilled meat delicacies their springy texture, will be permitted by the EU.
Romanian food industry officials said Monday they have been lobbying Brussels since a ban last July on mici.
Mici, (pronounced MEECH) originated in Turkey during the days of the Ottoman Empire and are traditionally eaten with mustard and hunks of bread or french fries. Romanians eat 25 tons — or half a million — of the skinless sausages a day.
The EU's food safety committee will vote Thursday on the additive, followed by a vote in the European Parliament. Since the ban, the EU has allowed Romania to continue to produce mici, but not export them pending this week's vote. A culinary staple in the Balkans, other variants such as "cevapcici" — eaten in the former Yugoslavia — and Greece's "soutzoukakia" are also expected to be allowed to contain bicarbonate of soda.
Kevin Hill, a chef who works in Romania, said the EU had been concerned the additive was being used to disguise bad meat.
"It is part of Romania's heritage," said Hill. "It is like fish and chips for England."

May 6, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Junior Rich Kosoglow capped his third year donning the Cardinal and Gray with the best start of his career as he allowed only one earned run in a completing-game victory for MIT. The Tech bats also orchestrated several key hits against Suffolk staff ace Reid Jackson and the Engineers hung on to defeat the Rams, 8-5.
Suffolk (21-13) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first behind a run-scoring single by Tom Kelly and an error on a stolen base attempt, but the Engineers (17-16) quickly leveled the score with two runs in the second. Freshman Stewart Park sparked the attack with a bloop double in shallow left center that scored Stephen Toth. During the ensuing at bat, Park advanced to third on a wild pitch before coming home on an errant throw to the third base.
Anthony Iacopucci plated Suffolk's second run of a two-run third with a single to left field, although both of the Rams' runs in the frame were unearned as the MIT infield committed two errors against successive batters early in the inning.
Trailing 4-2, MIT scored four times in the bottom half of the third and grabbed a lead it wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the afternoon. Thomas Phillips and David Nole opened the inning with back-to-back doubles, while Steven Nunez drove home a run after lining a single to right center. Like Kosoglow, Jackson's effort on the mound was hampered by costly infield mistakes which resulted in only two earned runs for MIT on the day.
Centerfielder Jeison King used good base running to secure another run for the Rams. With one out in the fourth, King singled to right. He then stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Kevin Silva, who had a great day at the plate and finished 3-for-4 with two runs scored, singled to right field to plate King.
After the fourth, Kosoglow (2-1) proved to be incredibly effective against the Suffolk lineup as he allowed just two base runners the rest of the way. The junior righty scattered eight singles and struck out three while only walking one. Jackson (6-2) was shouldered with only his second loss of the season after allowing two earned runs in seven innings pitched.
Ahead 6-5, the Engineers put the game out of reach as sophomore Matt Loper smacked a two-run bomb over the fence in right center. Loper finished 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. Nunez and Phillips also sacked a pair of hits, while Kelly was the only other Suffolk player to score a multi-hit game after closing 2-for-4 from the clean-up spot.

UPS Driver App (iOS and android)
Budget $30-250 USD
I'm a UPS driver. So I'm looking to develop an app that can help all UPS drivers.
We are part of a union, so I would like to put the union contract in as well.
Safety information that are used for the job.
1. A UPS news feed - All Ups News, when the app is opened, first thing anyone sees is UPS news.
2. UPS stock information - for those drivers that keep track of the UPS stock they own
3. UPS time card
4. Safety Information/DOK (I will give you this informatikn)
5. Contract (I will give you this information)
6. Contact the union (Link to the union website)
UPS news feed is everythjng that is happening in the world with UPS. I need a real time daily feed of UPS news.
UPS stock information - need a daily stock chart with the stock price listed.
UPS Time Card:
All I need on the time card is a calendar. You click on the day and it goes to a time card. The time card has:
Total Hours Worked:
Package Count
Drivers will punch in Total Hours Worked which is measured in "clicks"
Clicks is hundreths
[url removed, login to view]
Example: So when they type in 823 in total hours worked. I want the app to to convert 823 into hours and minutes which would be 8 hours and 14 minutes.
Anything over 800 would be overtime. So the 823 would be 14 minutes of overtime.
Overtime is also anything over 40 hours in 1 work week.
Over/Under is bonus. Drivers that come in early receive bonus pay. It is measured just like the time above but with negatives and positives. If they put down -135 then they make bonus. They need to be Under 0 to make bonus. So negative 135 is under. If they are over such as 135 then there's no bonus. So when the driver punches in -135, I need it to convert to 1 hour and 21 minutes. If they punch in 135, i need it to convert to 0. Anything positive is 0.
So for a full day:
Driver posts:
Total Hours Worked: 947
Over/Under: -123
Miles: (optional input)
Package Count: (optional input)
App Calculation:
Total Hours Worked: 9 hours 28 minutes
Overtime (time and a half): 1 hours 28 minutes
Over/Under (time and a half) -1 hour 14 minutes
Miles (optional input)
Package Count (optional input)

About Cegelis
Did any grassroots and movement candidates lose in the House once they got out of the primary? Makes you wonder how Christine Cegelis would have done in IL-06.
As anyone who's read this blog since the primary is aware, I was a big proponent of Christine Cegelis' campaign and a big detractor of Duckworth's. How Christine would have faired in this race is anyone's guess, and I can only dream of what we could have done with the type of resources Duckworth's campaign had along with Christine's strong anti-war populist message. However, right after a close loss is not the time, especially for the volunteers who worked their asses off for Duckworth. I remember how I felt after the primary. They can't feel much better and deserve credit for working so hard for a candidate they believed in or to just to try and regain the House for Democrats. Now is not the time to play "what if Rahm backed Christine."
Instead, this post is about what Christine Cegelis did post-primary. I think it's an and astonishing example of what one person is capable of doing for the Party even after it threw her under the bus.
Let's be clear right off the bat. I'm biased. Heavily. I got to work closely with Christine in the primary both as a volunteer and paid contractor. During the campaign, like she did with many of her volunteers, we became friends. My daughter still calls her Auntie Chris. The relationships formed in that campaign are still active and a wonderful outcome of that difficult primary. But that doesn't change what I'd like to share in this post.
After the primary, Christine Cegelis could have easily went and said "screw it" and walked away from politics, especially given the number of knives stuck in her back by the party leadership. I think many of her more "green" and independent supporters did just that unfortunately.
Instead, after the primary, she went back to her job as an IT professional; a job held for her by her employer - a Republican - who admired what she was doing. After a few short weeks of being out of the political spotlight, settling back into a normal life, she took a position with Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) as a Midwest organizer. She gave up a secure, comfortable, good paying job with benefits, took a significant pay cut, and started traveling between several states in the Midwest helping to manage field organizers working 10-plus House races.
Using her experience gained on the ground in IL-06, Christine helped field organizers in these races be more efficient, not recreate the wheel, and provided feedback and guidance. This put her in a car on the road a good deal of the time between the May and the General. From an email:
We had 36 organizers on the ground in 7 states 11 Congressional districts and one Senate race (Brown in Ohio). We used a micro-targeted list to only contact voters that we considered swing voters. [...] Wisconsin is a great example. They had over 8,000 voter contacts and the race was won by just over 6,600. The Kissell race is another place where with 2 organizers on the ground we had close to 10,000 voter contacts. Our goal was to have quality contacts with the voters at least 3 to 4 times.
I remember talking to her, just as I did last night, as she was on the road somewhere in Iowa. She was always upbeat and excited. She was doing something meaningful. She was working toward a Democratic House and a real change in our country. She was excited to have the opportunity, and never looked back even if she did miss her sons and her dog.
When not on the road, she was a part of forming the Greater Chicago Coalition. In light of what happened in the Sixth, where the national party essentially pushed the local party out of the way and took over, there was a realization by many local coalitions that they had to stop working as separate entities and work together for to strengthen the local party. The GCC involves a variety of smaller local caucuses, intertest groups, and activist groups, including leaders from a variety of politically active sub-groups such as Hispanics, Methodist African American ministers, the Muslim community, peace and justice groups, women's groups, etc. The advantage of such local groups is that these communities have their own internal networks. Neighbor to neighbor involvement is often much more powerful than media buys in GOTV efforts. The goal of the GCC is to tap into this ability to get the word out about candidates through the local community directly, in person, with multiple quality contacts, not just glossy mailers.
Some of the campaigns she worked through ADA included candidates picked by Rahm/DCCC. Most did not or had the DCCC jump in once victory looked like a possibility and the groundwork was laid. In the Chicago area, this meant GCC helping out in Joe Vosicky's race for for Illinois State Rep in District 46. As of this writing, Joe's campaign is considering a recount and is within 100 votes of his longtime GOP incumbent opponent. This is an unheard of result around here.
As an ADA organizer, Christine worked on the following races:
OH-18: Space (W)
IA-01 Braley (W)
WI-08 Kaegan (W)
MN-06 Wetterling (L)
PA-06 Murphy (L)
PA-10 Carney (W)
PA-04 Altmire (W)
NH-02 Hodes (W)
NC-08 Kissell: too close to call
WA-08 Burner: too close to call.
Christine will be the first to point out that she was just one of many people helping in these races. But to me 6-2-2 is a good record to be involved with.
IMO we're lucky that she's one of the good guys working for us. Because of her actions, and many like her, there is greater Democratic infrastructure in place in several states, and a new organization functioning in the GCC. I can't help but think that this will pay greater future dividends than the media consultants and network execs who get to buy new cars with the profits made through enormous media buys.

Peach, the T-Shaped building is cap 30.
A search in Norwegian for dilapidated rorbuer (fisherman's hut) gets you Henningsvær. (photo source: it's copyrighted, so I'll just link to it.)Maybe this place. Maybe. We don't even know if it's local B-roll or not.
And what about Candi's dead fish ^^^? But that fish...can we ID it? Could it be a COD?? Also the net, and tools might be findable, since Henningsvaer is a fishing port...
Looks like Yellowfin Tuna to me

Holidays can be a joyous time of the year for many – it's a time for family and friends, parties and celebrations, good food and holiday cheer – ingredients for a storybook-like holiday. For those who have lost a loved one, however, the holidays can be a time of overwhelming sadness and grief.
The clichéd images of family togetherness and the often unrealistic expectations of a season filled with picture-perfect joyful gatherings can cause tremendous stress for those who are not grieving – let alone those in the midst of the painful, isolating experience of loss.
So what can you do to help alleviate the pain of missing a loved one so much?
Everyone grieves differently. Mourning is an individual and personal experience.
There is no magic pill to fix it, but sometimes by creating new rituals and traditions that pay tribute to the memory of the deceased is one way to survive, and perhaps even embrace, the holidays when a loved one has died.
Here are some suggestions from the Center for Grief & Healing at Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island:
• Recognize and acknowledge that this holiday season will be different from all the others.
• Buy a tree ornament each year to remember your loved one.
• Hang up a Christmas stocking for your loved one and ask everyone to write a special note to put in it.
• Go somewhere new to celebrate the holiday.
• Volunteer your time. Bringing joy to another is a great way to lighten your own grief.
• Decorate a wreath with photos and special possessions of your loved one and place the wreath at his or her grave.
• Make a memory book and fill it with pictures and memorabilia about the deceased and share it with one another.
• Make a donation to a favorite charity in the person's honor.
• Encourage children who've lost a loved one to draw pictures and create gifts inspired by their memories of the deceased to give to other family members.
• Decorate a candle and light it at mealtime in memory of your loved one. If you celebrate Chanukah, recall a memory of the deceased on each of the eight nights that you light the Menorah.
• Change routines that have been a part of your tradition – the time you open your gifts, eat the holiday meal, etc.
• Wrap a favorite keepsake of the deceased or a framed picture of your loved one, and give it as a gift to another grieving family member.
• Realize that you can change your mind. If earlier decisions do not feel right as the time approaches, then do not follow through. Listen to your heart.
• Be gentle with yourself.
Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island has several grief support groups that are open to the public. Refer to their website at www.hhcri.org for details or call the Center for Grief & Healing at 415-4300 for more information.
Deanna Upchurch is the Senior Grief Counselor at Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island.

ProFootballWeekly.com - Shorts and Shells: Week One
Controversial call of the week
In this week's edition, we look at two plays one that affected the other in the season opener. As the Saints drove down, trailing by eight points late in the third quarter, to the Packers' side of the field, their run game showed some life but also some diminishing returns. After Drew Brees hit Devery Henderson for 13 yards, four runs followed: Pierre Thomas for five yards, Darren Sproles for seven, Thomas for two and Mark Ingram for no gain.
I think the fact that Ingram was stoned on 3rd-and-1 from the Packers' seven-yard line spooked Saints head coach Sean Payton out of going to a power formation and running it on fourth down. Instead, he called for a sprint-out, and Brees was turned around and forced into a momentum-changing incompletion.
It didn't kill off their chances, though. The Saints got the ball back and drove, with the same-sized deficit, in the game's waning moments, earning an untimed play on 1st-and-goal: score or go home a loser. The formation was tight, and everyone in the stadium seemed to know a run was coming. It did a straight-ahead power play and about six Packers, led by Clay Matthews and Morgan Burnett, shut Ingram down. The rookie had no chance.
Payton seemed to doubt himself after the previous failure with a pass on fourth down, and it's my assertion he carried that doubt into the final play call of the game. He spoke on the matter afterward.
"Hindsight, it's easy to say, 'Kick the field goal,' " Payton said. "But that being said, we felt like we had a play we wanted to run. But it didn't work. It's not an easy call, but it's one that you look back on and I'll kick myself a little bit."
The old knock on Payton definitely before he won a Super Bowl, and a little bit more after last season's playoff disappointment was that he often outsmarted himself. I remember being at a Saints game before they won it all and an NFL official from another team, sitting in the press box, muttered under his breath after Payton made a risky call that failed: "Smartest guy in the NFL."
The comment, naturally, was sarcastic. And though I don't think Payton was wrong to go for it on fourth down, I do think he erred in letting his one failure affect the next. This is an isolated incident. It didn't cost the Saints a win; the better team was victorious on Thursday night. I expect the Saints and Payton to be just fine.
"A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."

Baseball Brought My Daughter And I Closer Than Ever!
Thursday, December.13, 2012
Jessica Jensen (Special Guest Baseball Writer:) Follow @jensen_jessica
As a parent, your life changes when your child is admitted to the hospital. It was the day before the Fourth of July, the physicians who attended my oldest daughter knew that something was wrong based on her blood work, but no one could tell us exactly why certain levels were elevated. Not knowing why she couldn't eat or drink in case emergency surgery was needed was terrifying. The Fourth of July at Children's Hospital in Milwaukee is a slow day, so it wasn't until the fifth that my daughter had an MRI. When she was finally discharged from the hospital, she went home with an osteomyelitis diagnosis, and two full styrofoam coolers of medication. For a while my family joked about the drugs in my refrigerator, my daughter required around the clock IV antibiotics that had to be kept cold. My sister is a nurse, but I'm not, and neither is my husband, so the home health nurse had to demonstrate a lot of things that I thought I wouldn't be able to handle.
After the initial shock wore off, I was left with a low energy child who was removed from many activities she enjoyed due to the PICC line in her arm. She couldn't swim, I was afraid to let her do too much outside, although there wasn't much running around she could do with her severe limp. During this time, my Twitter friends were amazingly supportive. I had read about the baseball family, but I didn't feel included in it until I posted tweets about my daughter and her condition. In an effort to get my daughter out, I talked to my sister and brother-in-law. My sister is not a baseball fan, but my brother cheered the Cardinals to victory last year. It was tough, but I decided I would heap coals of fire on his St. Louis roots by inviting him to a college baseball game. Read the rest of this entry

Crazy Legs Heads to Burque: Chris Fonseca is ready to laugh
It was the '90s, and comedian Chris "Crazy Legs" Fonseca was at the height of his career. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a youth, he uses a wheelchair—hence the nickname "Crazy Legs," which is often the starting point of his comedy. With his dry humor and well-crafted one-liners, Fonseca "was on every sitcom in that decade," he says, but "I started to drink, and things changed." Fonseca, now two years sober, is prime for a comeback.
Positioning himself in this new world of comedy based on social media has been an interesting transition for the comic, but he says, "Comedy hasn't changed. Where we get comedy has changed, but comedy is still comedy. I make people laugh, and that's always wanted." Now touring much more frequently, Fonseca brings his wit to The Stage Aug. 14 at Santa Ana Star Casino (54 Jemez Dam, Bernalillo). The 21+ show gets underway at 7:30pm. Cost is $10. Opening for Fonseca are John Mark Gard and Albuquerque's own Keith Breckenridge. The Stage @ Santa Ana Star, Bernalillo • Thu Aug 14 • 7:30pm • $10 • 21+ • View on Alibi calendar

I'm trying to get rSAP working on my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e with Android 4.0.3. I will connect it to my Audi MMI 3G Plus (8R1 035 670).
I have installed Bluetooth SIM Access Install on my rooted phone and selected "Native" System Files, as the homepage say I should. Looks like it was installed right, because the uninstall button is not greyed anymore.
Then I installed Bluetooth SIM Access Profile (Full version). The rSAP was selected, so it should have rSAP mode. When I try to search for Bluetooth devices with my MMI, then it find the phone, but can only select Headset and Media Player, not Phone as it should, when it detect it as a rSAP. The Bluetooth SIM Access Profile "Bluetooth State" is also always "Not connected" when the MMI is trying to connect.
I have made two logs:
I logs I search for phone and the select Headset.

DETROIT -- Chrysler Group used to always have the most over-the-top, can't-miss reveals at the Detroit auto show, whether it be crashing a Jeep Wrangler through a plate-glass window or driving cattle through the middle of downtown.
The company's near-death experience seems to have put an end to all that, even now that it is profitable again. On Monday, Chrysler stuck with a straightforward approach as it showed the 2014 versions of its Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee and a performance version of the Grand Cherokee for its SRT brand.
Chrysler showed a brief video about "passion," had Jeep CEO Mike Manley give short introductions and then drove the SUVs onto the stage. Manley had a bit of a swagger as he noted that Jeep set a global sales record in 2012 and "regained its rightful place as the number-one SUV brand in America."
But it just doesn't feel like a real Chrysler reveal unless there's an hour or two of cleanup required afterward.
Of course, even a run-of-the-mill press conference marks a big step up from where Chrysler was a few years ago. Its stand in 2009 was so cheaply done that a large metal Pentastar logo fell from the ceiling, nearly taking out a journalist below, and it had no formal event at all the following year, because it had nothing new to talk up.
Chrysler's new strategy looks to be showing off by not showing off.

GREENCASTLE, Ind. - Albion College gained three times as many yards as DePauw University, but three turnovers proved costly in a 7-3 setback in a non-league contest played at Blackstock Stadium.
Head Coach Craig Rundle said the result was caused by the Britons' inability to make big plays.
"The same thing that won the game for us last week – creating turnovers and finishing drives – hurt us today," Rundle said. "We didn't play as well as we had been playing in any area – offense, defense or special teams. It was poor execution more than anything."
Alex Harris completed three consecutive passes as Albion moved into DePauw territory on its second possession of the day. Wes Dolen's 5-yard carry gave the Britons a fresh set of downs at the DePauw 31, and the Britons moved inside the 25 on Harris' 7-yard connection with J.C. Cruse.
Dolen was stuffed on second- and third-down plays, so Albion elected to play on fourth down. Dolen had enough yards for the first down at the DePauw 20, but his fumble stopped the Albion drive after nine plays.
DePauw was unable to move the ball against the Albion defense for the first 23 minutes of the contest. Albion forced DePauw to go three-and-out on two of its first four possessions, and the Tigers never moved the ball into Albion territory.
DePauw caught a break, however, when Harris' second-down pass was intercepted by Mafileo Tupou and returned 25 yards to the Albion 11. Bryan Coleman covered the distance on the short field, including a 7-yard rush with 5:50 left in the second quarter. That would be the game's only touchdown.
Harris was intercepted on Albion's next possession, but DePauw was unable to take advantage as a 29-yard field goal attempt clanked off the upright.
Albion's special teams faltered in the third quarter as it had a punt blocked on its first possession and a missed field goal from 30 yards out caused it to go away empty on an 11-play drive that saw the Britons march to the DePauw 12.
Albion had excellent field position – taking over at the DePauw 44 – for its third possession of the third quarter, but an offensive pass interference penalty wiped out what would have been a 13-yard reception to the DePauw 32. Harris was sacked on third down and the Britons were forced to punt.
Harris completed four passes of 11 yards or more on Albion's first possession of the fourth quarter. Dolen's 5-yard gain on first-and-10 gave set the Britons up at the DePauw 17. Harris' second-down pass was incomplete and he was sacked on third down to set the stage for Nick Pendell's 38-yard field goal with 9 ½ minutes left in the game.
The Albion defense allowed DePauw just one first down on its next two possessions to give the offense opportunities to score. The Britons moved into DePauw territory, but the Britons were unable to get closer than the Tigers' 31-yard line.
Harris completed 26 passes for 286 yards – the most since Spencer Krauss threw for 434 in the Oct. 1 victory over Kalamazoo College. Harris connected with Brian Spencer nine times for 101 yards and with Cruse eight times for 102 yards.
Dolen contributed 102 rushing yards. It was the first time he has gained more than 100 yards in a game since gashing Alma College for 124 during the 2009 campaign.
The Albion defense surrendered 126 total yards and eight first downs. C.J. Carroll, who entered the game among the top 70 Division III players in tackles for loss, wrapped up three stops for a loss of 11 yards. He also collected a 7-yard sack. John Lesinski and Brett McCarty finished with four solo tackles apiece.
Albion (5-4 overall) will complete the regular season Nov. 12 with its Albion Spirit Day clash against Trine University. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium.

It seems like we can barely go a day without coming across some story of ridiculous patent hoarding by a company that clearly didn't do anything innovative or new, but which is holding plenty of other companies (who actually did innovate and did bring a product to market) for ransom. If you ask the folks at these patent hoarding companies (often made up entirely of one or two lawyers) where they got the idea for this business plan, many would likely point to Jerome Lemelson, the well known patenter who turned those patents into millions of dollars from companies. The Associated Press has an in-depth look at Jerome Lemelson's legacy, and the fact that many consider him a complete fraud. Throughout the entire process of getting plenty of large companies to pay him for ideas that it seems quite likely they came up with outside of Lemelson's patents, he kept pushing forward claiming he needed to win these lawsuits to get the respect he deserved. It's hard to see how sitting on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to do something innovative, and then suing is deserving of respect, however. As you read through the cases, it seems clear that Lemelson's strategy is being followed by so many companies today, as a form of legalized extortion. Companies feel they need to pay up a settlement fee because it's cheaper than going to court, especially with the risk of a loss -- which, with a jury trial, is something that can certainly happen. In Lemelson's case, even judges looking over his claims admitted that it was clear he was "abusing" the patent system -- and yet, his successes have made it the norm today. Lemelson's patents were often based simply on ideas, rather than anything he implemented -- leading one of his critics to refer to him as a "science fiction writer" rather than an inventor, and claiming that "crediting Lemelson with machine vision is like 'saying Jules Verne invented space travel.'"

At what point...At what point does patent hoarding transcend the bounds into racketeering and/or anti-trust areas? Couldn't it be a form of patent infringement in itself?
Anonymous of Course, 22 Aug 2005 @ 8:17am
It's Serial Patent AbuseHere's the plan. Look at the direction an industry is heading. File a vague patent. As the industry develops keep tweaking your patent with continuation filings until your patent covers a real product. Then sue the users, not the manufacturers of the product, demanding licensing fees and you have a real cash cow. It's been a long time coming but hopefully the courts will end this practice. I wouldn't call Lemmelson a great inventor. In my opinion he was a technological con man. But he made a lot of money and won prestigious awards... go figure.

Possible direction...A grassroots designed software engine/program that seeks out filings of patents through a patent portals and analyzes them for possible inventive redundancies and capriciousness...maybe creating an additional filter of legitimate, but fair review of the process. Summaries could be automatically be sent to congressmen and/or administration officials en masse to exert some influence.

Second part of articleThe second part of the article shows how a company founded by a MIT professor sued Lemelson's foundation and proved that Lemelson's machine vision patents were junk.
The best part is that the company that sued really didn't need to do so, for the most part its founder was just angry about Lemelson claiming to "invent" stuff he didn't.
Small Inventor, 1 Sep 2005 @ 6:39pm
Lemelson storyLemelson is a very complex story. Unfortunately, the AP writer got it largely wrong. Lemelson was a brilliant inventor. The combined breadth and depth of his work, which ranged from automated factories to computers, to VCRs, to toys is breathtaking. He has been much vilified in the press, where, unlike in the patent system, there is no special protection for a little guy with a big idea, because his success came at the expense of some of the most vocal and most powerful companies in the world. The article fails to mention the non-profit Lemelson foundation which, partnering with the likes of MIT and the Smithsonian, has given close to $100 million to advance the practice of invention and innovation in this country, which is experiencing a serious decline by many metrics. Powerful interests have used Lemelson as a political football while smearing his name to serve their own desire to close off the ladder to success through innovation that the patent system was intended to be. They chose to that rather than compete in an open marketplace or pay for a license. Current legislation under the Patent Reform Act of 2005 is an attempt to build upon earlier legislation to further weaken the patent system, upon which this country achieved much of its current greatness. Soon, it will be little more than another corporate giveaway. In technology, in business, as in everything else, the old must give way to the new. Any attempts to prevent this from happening will be to our ultimate detriment.
I know better, 26 Feb 2007 @ 10:38am
Re: Lemelson storyI was involved with the litlgation that ended Lemelsons hold pn barcode scanners and machine vision. That case clearly showed that Lemelson didn't invent the technology used today. Instead, he modified and re-interpreted old patent applications to the point where he could make it sound like he invented the technology that was being used. The court found that his patents were unenforceable due to Prosecutation Latches, invalid due to failure to adequately describe how his "inventions" could be built at the time they were filed, and not infringed, because the technology described in his patents, and the technology used today are not even remotely alike. The plain truth is that he didn't invent the technology that is used today, but he did extort 1.5 billion dollars out of hundreds of companies based on threats of patent suits.
The companys that finally exposed him (Symbol Technologies and Cognex) are not at all the largest companys in the world. In fact, Lemelson had a larger budget to defend himself with than they did, due to all of the money he had extorted. His donations to schools and hospitals doesn't excuse his behavior. He was very generous with other peoples money.
Anonymous Coward, 26 Aug 2007 @ 12:34pm
Re: Re: Lemelson storyPlease!!! how can you stancd there and bash a man who defended what was his. Do you honestly believe that if a lone inventor came up with a multi billion dollar invention that big buisness companies would just stand behind him and let him reap all the profits?!?!?! They tried to destroy him b/c he was going to make more money then them. Extortion! this is absurd!!! if he could prove that he invented it then he did, if the companies had then he wouldn't have won those lawsuits!

LEMELSONI worked for Jerry as an associate patent attorney for Ron Snider many years ago. Jerry was a very knoweldgeable visionery--who did know the technologies available to implement embodimnts of his inventions, but some of which could not operate in real time using the emobodiments aavailabler at the time of original filing. He did continuations and cips with the next generation embodiments and when real time embodiments were available the patents issued. For example, his painting robot patent where I was one of his expert witnesses. He also was a gentleman - and modest--who often took me to supper when in the D.C. area. I liked the guy, and have only find memories of a brilliant older short modest man of my religious background and had integrity. In this age of corruption at the PTO where companies lobby to get reexams from the Director [Commr.] and get them [ and see Comptons and others before], he was not a "submariner, but a brilliant engineer who knew a patent's limited time value need begin only when the apparatus patented can actually be used practically.

Re: Re: LEMELSONoops - didn't realize my response would be public!
My father's story is a bit more complex than last year's AP article attempted to illustrate - in fact it was a pretty lame effort. The reporter was apparently looking to boost his career, and after this sensationalist piece was published he got what he wanted - a promotion.
Anyone who knew my father realizes that portraying him as submarine patent king is bullshit - that it serves corporate America quite well, but says nothing about his career, his vision, the body of his work, or his commitment to the individual American inventor. But it is alot easier to smear him than to tell the true story. Perhaps that will change with time.

Lemme see. Files patent applications in 1954 and 1956. Slows down their progress so that they aren't granted till 1963. Add 17 years, and they should still expire in 1980.
From the article
> While battling the Japanese, Hosier had also started sending
> form letters to hundreds of companies in 1989, accusing
> them of infringing Lemelson's machine vision and bar code
> patents.
That's *THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PATENT APPLICATION*. It'a also *TWENTY-SIX YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PATENTS WERE GRANTED*. Patents are supposed to last 17 years. Unless you claim that these statements of fact are outright lies, he was gaming the system; perfectly legally I might add, but I question the ethics. If you claim this isn't submarining and gaming the system, then what exactly do you call it???
Mr. Lemelson was a small-time inventor who did make a few useful inventions, and would've retired being financially comfortable from his real inventions. However, he wasn't satisfied with enough, and wanted more, more, more. The result was that he was always going after big targets with deep pockets. When you attack enough big guys, you'll eventually run into some who will fight back, and one who will win.

Spoiling it for the rest of us...The patent system is just about the only tool independent inventors have to defend against the big boys. When that tool is used to protect hard-won IP, justice is served. But when the system is used to extort money from those doing the real work of innovation, it wrecks it for us smaller guys.
Me, I'd like to see the patent process include an affidavit that you actually got a (however imperfectly) working prototype.
an inventor with some patents to his name, 25 Jan 2008 @ 4:45pm
Get the USPTO to disallow continuation filings orDefine the maximum allowed evaluation time for a patent to be just one year would be a simple solution. If the USPTO cannot decide within a year, the application is just void. Voluntary donations of companies to fund the evaluations (of all) patents is then an easy way to ensure patents will actually do get a review within the year. Of course, people will say this is unfair, but so is the automatic extension in time by the USPTO.
But more important: continuation filings are really a problem and should disallowed. And withdrawal of any application ought to cause a delayed publication of the application by the USPTO after 17/2 years (after the filing date).
The whole society pays for the prolonged time it takes to get a patent evaluated. Look at what happens to the price of a medicin when it goes off patent: Typically it drops to less than 1/2 ... just count the billions we all spend too much.
