    DENMARK ELECTS FIRST FEMALE PRIME MINISTER
    September 16, 2011

    After elections in Denmark ended, the center-left bloc led by the Social Democrats won a narrow majority, making their leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt the country's first female prime minister. Thorning-Schmidt ran on a platform of increased taxes, increased government spending, and a strange proposal to have workers add twelve minutes to their workdays in order to increase productivity.

    AMERICA INVENTS ACT
    September 16, 2011 - America, U.S.A.

    President Obama signed into law the America Invents Act which made substantial changes to the U.S. patent system. Taking effect 16 Mar 2013, a provision of the Act establishes a "first-to-file" priority. No longer may a patent be contested on the basis of another person claiming to be the first to invent an invention. "Prior art," used to exclude patentability, was expanded to include public use, sales including foreign offers for sale, publications and disclosures available to the public anywhere is the world as of date of filing. Previously, for example, when William Kelly asserted he was first to invent his "air-boiling" process to refine steel, he was awarded patent priority (23 Jun 1857) over Henry Bessemer in the U.S., even though Bessemer was first to file. Now inventors must file for patents as soon as possible.

Once upon a time deep into an enchanted forest, was a beautiful flower garden. Inside of this precious flower garden was tulips of every color. Marigolds that reflected the yellow of the sun. Purple gardenias that glistened with the drips of the morning dew.

Deep in this magical garden were talking roses. Amongst these roses was a georgeous Red one. So as the story goes,the Red rose looked at the Blue rose and said, Blue Rose, oh Blue Rose how could you ever be as beautiful as I, your petals hang so low to your thorns.

Then the Blue Rose cried and then the Red Rose laughed. She then looked over at the Yellow Rose and said to her, Yellow Rose, Yellow Yose how could you ever be as beautiful as I, you don't reflect the rainbows of rain in the sky like I. and the yellow rose did cry. the red rose just snickerd.

Just then in the distance the Red Rose did see. The most beautiful White Rose bud growing in extravagance. delicate with grace. petals firmed with desire. Just as fury burned inside Red Rose. Jealousy took over the Red Roses heart.

The Red Rose suddenly began to speak. then instantly the gardener came by and plucked the little red rose from off her stem right out of the bush.
