carbon dioxide, obstetrics, pneumoperitoneum
In Reply:—
I appreciate the thoughtful comments expressed by Drs. Pennington and Stein about the Clinical Concepts and Commentary article concerning management of surgery for the pregnant patient. Because of imposed limitations on the number of references, the only referenced article about laparoscopy and pregnancy was from the Swedish Health Registry;1however, mention was made in my article about "several case reports of success in the late second and early third trimesters" using laparoscopic techniques. Not mentioned were case reports of problems with the technique, including trocar injuries resulting from the limited operative space and respiratory acidosis resulting from carbon dioxide insufflation. 2Currently, techniques of gasless laparoscopy during pregnancy are being used at some institutions. 3
The precautions recommended were not from the Swedish Health Registry data, which did not address the use of low intraabdominal pressure, the use of pneumatic stockings, or the choice of gas for creating pneumoperitoneum. The precautions represented suggestions from case reports in the literature. I agree that carbon dioxide has become the gas of choice in creating pneumoperitoneum and has the benefit of noncombustibility. Nitrous oxide can be a useful alternative to avoid the respiratory acidosis reported with use of carbon dioxide. I use carbon dioxide when electrocautery is employed, with attention to end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), maintaining the normally reduced values during pregnancy, to avoid acidosis.

The Tentative Return of Whitney Houston
by Amy Linden
The woman who once sang "How Will I Know" now knows way too much. Patrick Demarchelier
We all know the dish. We all laughed at the jokes. We all gawked as she announced she made too much money to smoke crack. We all watched as America's mega-platinum sweetheart with the perfect (too perfect, critics carped) voice and drop-dead looks imploded, making a funeral nearly as likely as a comeback. The eagerly anticipated (and delayed) I Look to You is not quite great enough to be the latter, but certainly not terrible enough to be the former.
As for Whitney herself, she makes her opinion known on "Salute," one of two R. Kelly cuts, wherein she quotes, verbatim, LL Cool J: "Don't call it a comeback." Yeah, whatever. What makes You fascinating is that you can't help but wonder if Whitney's insistence is aimed as much to the public, press, and the record industry at large as toward herself. That the reason she doth protest a bit too much is because we're not the only ones wondering if one of the most influential pop/r&b singers of all time still has the goods. Maybe she's curious, too—24 years after her effervescent debut and seven years after the disappointing Just Whitney, with enough crack, drama, rehab, Bobby Brown, reality TV, and recovery to fill several lifetimes, the woman who once sang "How Will I Know" now knows far too much. Her beauty is blurred by a hint of weariness. Her once-stunning voice is huskier and tentative, the upper register scuffed up, for obvious reasons. (The way she stunk up Good Morning America is plenty proof of that.) Can she still sing? Compared to much of what's out there now, yes. Certainly. Can she stack up against the "old" Whitney? Does she still have it? Depends on what your definition of "it" is.
Among the myriad risks when a superstar climbs back into the ring is the conundrum of how to stay current without sounding like you're struggling to fit into your teenage daughter's skinny jeans. Houston splits the difference here by working with the young'uns, but focusing, to the point of exhaustion, on relatively adult but generic themes. Strength. Determination. Triumph over adversity. Survival. Coming out of darkness into light (that's an actual lyric). Did I mention strength? Even so, there's some pretty good stuff here, "Nothin' But Love" the best of all. With Danjahandz laying down synths that would make Heaven 17 tingle, Whitney alternately spouts and snarls affirmations, her voice raw, her anger righteous.
The less-pretty-good stuff? Start with Diane Warren's overstuffed power ballad "I Didn't Know My Own Strength": The title says it all. Lying somewhere in between are contributions from Akon (who, other than that annoying "konvict" dribble, does no harm); Kelly's mash-up of gangsta and God; Stargate (a/k/a Norway's answer to Babyface) offering a gentle "Call You Tonight"; and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz teaming up for "Million Dollar Bill," whose sprightly motown feel doesn't quite fit the record's overall Oprah-ness.
Speaking of whom, guess who's doing Whitney's first TV interview? Fire up those scented candles! Maybe Lady O can help Houston reveal herself in a way she doesn't quite manage on I Look to You, which might have benefited her had she looked more to herself. She's got a hell of a story, and she doesn't need three octaves to tell it.

Convert any Video to MP3 free & fast! Get audio from movies, films and music clips. Save MP3 music files in the best quality - up to 320kbps. Keep original HD audio quality when converting AVI or another format into MP3. Convert multiple files to MP3 in one click. Play free MP3 on any device: computer, smartphone, MP3 player, car, home stereo system.
100% free download and super easy.
Download free software here - AVI to MP3 converting tool. Select between an online or an offline installer. Both installers will set up the full version of free AVI to MP3 software on your Windows computer. The supported operating systems are Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and Windows 10. Please follow all installation steps and click the "Finish" button to launch the application.
The freeware has no hidden toolbars, ads or any suspicious components. Don't be afraid to download and install the program on your desktop PC or laptop.
Add .avi files to convert into MP3. Choose your workflow. Convert each AVI clip to MP3 music one by one or add several AVI files in batch to convert all AVI to MP3 at once. Drag and drop clips into the software or add them using the "File" menu at the top of the program. To turn an online AVI link into MP3, click the "Paste URL" button.
Please make sure your AVI movies aren't protected. The free utility doesn't encode protected films into MP3 audio tracks.
Select "to MP3" button within the formats panel at the bottom of the program. If you're satisfied with the default output MP3 audio track settings, immediately jump to the last step of the tutorial. However, if you want to apply custom MP3 file settings to each audio piece, then go to the next step.
Depending on your goal, use one of the available MP3 qualities. In a new window with a quality selection pick up one of the parameters: 320kbps, 256kbps, 192kpbs, etc. Or skip this selection and use the original audio source as the program offers. Please note that if you increase the MP3 file quality, your output file size will be larger. So, if you have a limited memory space on your USB stick, MP3 player or computer, you'd better select a reasonable song quality for an MP3.
To apply custom settings regularly, you can create your own profile and store the template settings such as bitrate, mono or a stereo sound, and so on. Don't forget to click "OK" to save your profile.
Click the "Convert" button to convert AVI to MP3. Before you complete AVI to MP3 conversion, don't forget to indicate a destination folder. By default, your MP3 songs will be in the Music folder on your computer. Later, you can transfer your audio files to a USB stick, MP3 player, Android or iPhone.
For Apple iPad, iPhone, and iPod users, the freeware includes inbuilt automatic iTunes export. Check this box before conversion, the program will move all free MP3 music files to iTunes for further syncing with your Apple gadget.
When you change online AVI clips to MP3, it might take a bit more time to grab a media file from a website. But the rest reminds the usual workflow. Copy and paste a media URL into the program. Or paste multiple URLs, if necessary and go to MP3 format. Please note that you can't apply custom MP3 settings to web clips.
You can make a long MP3 playlist if you enable the "Join" option to merge all your AVIs into a long MP3 before conversion. Please note that all audio files will have similar output quality settings.
Remember that you can always edit your AVI file before converting it to MP3. Cut unnecessary parts, make movie shorter, or merge short clips into a new file. And then turn the polished AVI into MP3.
The software doesn't limit you with AVI files. Feel free to convert MP4 to MP3 in a similar manner.


The extension "sociallogin2t3″ is a social media login tool for logging into the front-end of TYPO3 with social media accounts from Facebook, Hyves, Twitter and LinkedIn based on OAuth authentication. It was developed by Ron Schoellmann and Joost van Berckel for the Dutch trade union CNV (Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond).
User data will be imported/ updated to table fe_users. User will be logged in as FE user.
Create an application for each service provider login (Facebook, Hyves, Twitter, Linkedin are possible) that you want to include. Don't worry, no coding necessary here, you just need some numbers (consumer key or app id and the consumer secret).
Use Template > Constant Editor > SOCIALLOGIN2T3 to enter user storage page, group id, keys and secrets where needed. The fields should be self-explanatory.

I did everything u explained step by step but nothing works.
we would need more information about your setup to help you.
The extension was tested thoroughly and is working, but there might be some interferences with other extensions or unknown requirements.
As i had to create a facebook application, i was wondering how i could now give the services of my website from a "canvas" page, integrated as a Iframe.
Now i am detecting the website is called from facebook, and can ask people to login (using your plugin (with a redirect after login problem i have to solve)), and then serve them their content, but it would be more friendly to use the "signed_request parameter" facebook send and login automatically when the user as already created his account.
Do you think this is a good way to go or did i miss something on facebook working ?
you got a redirect after the login work? Please, tell me how!
Thank you for this extension. Works well !
I wonder whether there is a possibility, to get the email address of facebook user, like it is on facebook2t3 extension.
I tried to modify the constants (just added 'emal' at the end) – that was not the trick. Some hints?
Thanks for this, Ive managed to get Twitter working but no joy with facebook.
When I try the facebook button, It returns to the page with the login buttons on, the Twitter image is still there and the facebook image is gone.
In the address bar it has the session details, passed back from facebook, but it doesnt authenticate..any ideas?
I have problem with Twitter authentication.
Just had the same problem – little late but thought I post this.
Everything worked fine for me after setting the callback url inside the twitter app.
BTW: Thanks for the great extension. Would love if you add login with google account.
Thanks U for this extension. I have juste one question, how can i get the email of the user?
I try to write email in the constant but it don't work.
This is only possible if the social provider (e.g. Facebook) provides the email address with the user data and if the user allows transferring it.
Tks Ron, do you know if Facebook and twitter provide the email address with the user data?
Also when a user can allow transferring it email?
funny… the extension worked just fine. but then i deleted all my fe-users, now if i log in i come back to my page and i´m logged in to facebook but not as a fe-user, because the extension did not make a fe-user in the backend. i´m sure i got the right user page-id and the right usergroup-id. i did not change anything but the fe-users i deleted.
okay i found it in your todo-list.
hope i can find the user in the database and delete him completely.
Is there any way with this Ext to import the email address of the user and use that rather than the facebook UID as the username?
are the any compatibility issues with real url, cool uri & co?
please note the 'req_perms' option: you can specify what you want to access to the user profile data.
Yes. Is there any chance update it to work with new auth flows??
Can somebody help me getting Hyves to work?

Coffee grounds organic waste in landfill production of methane underestimated by EPA?, 262 million metric tons of waste added to US landfills in 2012, Methane 35 times as potent as co2
24 Mar 2017 AdminLeave a comment
From Climate Central.
"Study: EPA May Be Underestimating Landfill Methane
Landfills may be emitting more methane than previously reported because the Environmental Protection Agency may be drastically underestimating how much garbage is being deposited in landfills across the U.S., according to a new Yale University study.
Banana peels, coffee grounds, plastic bottles and other detritus tossed in the garbage usually ends up in a landfill and emits methane as it decomposes. Methane is a greenhouse gas up to 35 times as potent as carbon dioxide as a driver of climate change over the span of a century, and landfills are the United States' third largest source of methane emissions, according to the EPA. The Obama administration is focusing on cutting methane emissions as part of its Climate Action Plan.
The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, examined more than 1,200 solid waste landfills, including those that are open and those that are closed and no longer accepting waste.
Using previously unavailable data from individual landfills, the study found that in 2012, about 262 million metric tonnes of waste were deposited in landfills across the country, more than double the 122 million tonnes estimated by the EPA. The agency may be underestimating the amount of waste landing in landfills because small waste disposal facilities are not required to report how much refuse they accept.
The study also found that open landfills emit 91 percent of all landfill methane emissions, while closed landfills are 17 percent more efficient than open landfills at capturing methane so it does not escape into the atmosphere."
"The study implies that the solution to landfill methane emissions is better gas capturing technology, but there's a simpler solution, Shindell said: Composting.
"We could simply not throw organics into the trash," Shindell said. "So, behavioral change by composting our organics could prevent virtually all the methane emissions from landfills without requiring any of the technological fixes and complex regulations."
Oxford University atmospheric physicist Raymond Pierrehumbert, who is among the scientists who believe cutting methane should be less of a priority than cutting carbon dioxide to tackle climate change, said the study is useful in evaluating methane capture systems at landfills. But it primarily underscores that landfill gas should be used more widely as an energy source and that people should throw less in the trash, especially organic matter.
"This study focuses on what comes out of landfills," he said. "But what is more important is what goes into them. The less readily decomposable organic materials that go into landfills, the less methane will be produced.""

THOEN v. UNITED STATES
Appeal No. 85-672.
Richard L. THOEN, Appellant, v. The UNITED STATES, Appellee.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.https://leagle.com/images/logo.png
Dale C. Nathan, Nathan, Baska & Lerman, Eagan, Minn., argued for appellant.
Stephen R. Bergenholtz, Commercial Litigation Branch, Dept. of Justice, Washington, D.C., argued for appellee. With him on the brief were Richard K. Willard, Acting Asst. Atty. Gen., David M. Cohen, Director and Sandra P. Spooner, Asst. Director; Major Thomas G. Bowe, Office of the Judge Advocate Gen., Dept. of the Army, Washington, D.C., of counsel.
Before DAVIS, BALDWIN and KASHIWA, Circuit Judges.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
DAVIS, Circuit Judge.
The main issue is whether the United States Claims Court erred when it (1) entered summary judgment dismissing a portion of Thoen's complaint without notice of its intention to do so at a point in the proceeding when only a partial motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds was pending, and (2) entered summary judgment sua sponte as to the remainder of Thoen's complaint. 5 Cl.Ct. 823 (1984) (Lydon, J.). We hold that the applicable Claims Court Rules require that a party be given both notice of a court's intention to consider entry of summary judgment and adequate opportunity to demonstrate why summary judgment is inappropriate. Appellant was not given such proper notice, nor did he have adequate opportunity to counter the grounds on which summary judgment was based. We therefore vacate the judgment and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Richard L. Thoen entered into a fixed-price contract with the Army to study roller-bearing friction. The contract called for delivery of monthly progress reports and a final technical report at the completion of the project. After encountering unforeseen difficulties with the project, Thoen requested and received several extensions of time to complete it, and the final completion date was set at April 30, 1982. The parties agreed that the contract price — $24,880 — would remain unchanged by the extensions.
As of April 30, 1982, Thoen had failed to submit a final technical report. On May 12 of that year the Government's contracting officer sent Thoen a letter asking him to show cause why the contract should not be terminated for default. Thoen responded by stating that the project was more complicated than originally anticipated and that he had overrun his budget. He also expressed his belief that the Army had orally promised him follow-on contracts to study tooth friction in gears. These projects did not receive funding, and no contracts were forthcoming. In conclusion, Thoen stated that the Army "should not expect me to put aside other work, just to wrap up a contract that would pay me only a small fraction of what I spent."
By a letter to Thoen dated June 21, 1982, the contracting officer issued a final decision terminating the contract for default. Thoen then filed a complaint in the Claims Court, a copy of which he sent to the contracting officer. In the complaint, Thoen set out the pertinent facts and requested four separate items (counts) of relief. These items are (as restated in the Claims Court's opinion):
Item 1 — Judgment for $24,880, the original contract price; Item 2 — Judgment for the fair price of his services which plaintiff estimates to be at least $105,000. Plaintiff alleges that the additional effort he performed in this regard was requested by defendant's authorized representatives; Item 3 — Judgment for the value of services realized by defendant in an amount estimated by plaintiff is to be [sic][1] at least $100,000; and Item 4 — Judgment for $15,000 attorney's fees and costs.
The complaint does not make clear whether items 2 and 3 are sought cumulatively or in the alternative.
The Government did not file an answer, but instead filed a motion for partial dismissal. The Government's position was that the Claims Court did not have jurisdiction over items 2-4 because Thoen had not certified these claims to the contracting officer for an initial decision as required by § 6 of the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. § 605 (1982). That provision states:
(a) All claims by the contractor against the government relating to a contract ... shall be submitted to the contracting officer for a decision.... * * * * * * (c)(1) ... For claims of more than $50,000, the contractor shall certify that the claim is made in good faith, that the supporting data are accurate and complete to the best of his knowledge and belief, and that the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the contractor believes the government is liable.
The Government never moved for dismissal of item 1, nor did it answer the complaint.2
The Claims Court handed down its decision in this case on September 4, 1984. As an initial matter, the court noted that the Government's motion is more properly denominated as requesting summary judgment than dismissal because it referenced certain exhibits, affidavits and other matters outside the pleadings. The court then determined that summary judgment in the Government's favor should be entered with prejudice on the entire case.
As to the matters listed in Thoen's items 2-4, the court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction "[a]bsent a contracting officer's final decision on a written and certified claim." 5 Cl.Ct. at 823. Moreover, the court refused to excuse Thoen for his failure to certify his claim with the contracting officer prior to filing the complaint since he knew the extent of his claim even before the Government's decision to terminate the contract. Cf. Tecom, Inc. v. United States, 732 F.2d 935 (Fed.Cir.1984) (claims for less than $50,000 at the time the complaint was filed need not be certified to the contracting officer if the value of the claim surpasses $50,000 with the passage of time).
The Claims Court also entered summary judgment sua sponte as to item 1, the claim for the contract price. Assuming that the allegations in the complaint were true and drawing all inferences in Thoen's favor, the court found to be beyond dispute the fact that the Government contracted for a final report but did not receive one. The court rejected Thoen's argument that the final report would just be an accumulation of data already submitted in the monthly reports. "Plaintiff was only asked to do what he agreed to do under the contract, i.e., to submit a Final Technical Report for approval. [The Army] was entitled to this under the contract." 5 Cl.Ct. at 823. The court declined to consider Thoen's argument that the extra work he performed was induced by the misrepresentation of Army officials regarding follow-on contracts.
The Claims Court entered judgment for the Government dismissing Thoen's complaint in its entirety with prejudice. He filed a timely notice of appeal. His principal contention is that the Claims Court erred in entering summary judgment in the Government's favor without providing him with notice of the court's intention to do so and an opportunity to present reasons why summary judgment would not be appropriate.
Thoen derives his arguments from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 12(b) sets forth the proper procedure to be followed on a party's motion to dismiss. The rule states:
If, on a motion asserting defense numbered (6) to dismiss for failure of the pleading to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, matters outside the pleading are presented to and not excluded by the court, the motion shall be treated as one for summary judgment and disposed of as provided in Rule 56, and all parties shall be given reasonable opportunity to present all material made pertinent to such a motion by Rule 56.
Rule 56, to which Rule 12(b) refers, provides "(c) ... The motion [for summary judgment] shall be served at least 10 days before the time fixed for the hearing." Thoen contends that, under a strict reading of Rule 56(c), the Claims Court should have afforded him ten days' notice that it would consider the case as one for summary judgment.
The Government points out that the Claims Court Rules are not identical to the Federal Rules. While Claims Court Rule 12(b) is identical in all material respects to its counterpart in the Federal Rules, Claims Court Rule 56 makes no mention of a ten-day notice period. The Government concludes that no prior notice is required in the Claims Court.
We cannot accept the Government's conclusion that the applicable rules do not require some period of notice before the court enters a summary judgment. Claims Court Rule 12(b) still requires that, when the court converts a motion to dismiss into a motion for summary judgment, "all parties shall be given reasonable opportunity to present all material made pertinent to such a motion by Rule 56." Therefore, the Claims Court Rules contemplate some notice to enable the opposing party to present arguments against the entry of summary judgment, though a definite 10-day period is not required.
Cases from this and other courts underscore the importance of the opportunity for the opposing party to counter a summary judgment motion. In Selva & Sons, Inc. v. Nina Footwear, Inc., 705 F.2d 1316 (Fed.Cir.1983), this court vacated a judgment of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board because it failed to give Selva notice of and a chance to respond to its decision to convert Nina's motion to dismiss into one for summary judgment. Quoting Davis v. Howard, 561 F.2d 565, 571-72 (5th Cir.1977), this court noted:
The bridling devices [in the last line of Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)] here sustain and insure the most elementary operation of our civil law. The concept of notice, admissibility, and opportunity to be heard are ancient primaries. * * * However correct the conclusion below, we cannot allow the shaving of principles for expediency when those precepts assure order and justice.
705 F.2d at 1322. Moreover, several courts have linked the requirements of Rule 12(b) and the constitutional due process right to be heard. In Winbourne v. Eastern Airlines, Inc., 632 F.2d 219, 224 (2d Cir.1980), the court of appeals referred to the trial court's denial of notice before entry of summary judgment as a "deprivation of due process." The court in Management Investors v. United Mine Workers, 610 F.2d 384, 390 (6th Cir.1979), used similar language.
According to the Government, any failure on the Claims Court's part to inform Thoen of its intentions (in advance) was harmless error. The Government points out that it appended matters outside the pleading to its motion for partial dismissal, and that Thoen referenced additional materials in his reply. The assumption is that Thoen had ample opportunity to present his case and should have been aware of the possibility that the Claims Court would enter summary judgment.
The Government's argument is not persuasive in this instance. The cases and texts it cites stand for the proposition that a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction may properly be converted into a motion for summary judgment only when the jurisdictional question is inextricably intertwined with the merits of the case. See, e.g., C. Wright and A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1366 (1969) ("The element that triggers the conversion is a challenge to the sufficiency of the pleader's claim supported by extra-pleading material. It is not relevant how the defense is actually denominated"); Village Harbor, Inc. v. United States, 559 F.2d 247, 249 (5th Cir.1977) (summary judgment appropriate where "the jurisdictional question is the substantiality of the suit").
But in the current case the Government challenged only defendant's failure to secure a proper contracting officer's decision. The parties addressed only this issue. In the case of a motion to dismiss simply for failure to satisfy a jurisdictional prerequisite, conversion without notice to summary judgment on the merits is error. The only question which the parties addressed before the Claims Court was whether certification as to the contractor's claim was necessary in this case. When the court concluded that it was, entry of judgment on the merits was not the proper course. Stanley v. Central Intelligence Agency, 639 F.2d 1146, 1156-57 (5th Cir.1981) ("Since appellant's allegations should not have survived the [jurisdictional] attack ..., the court had no jurisdiction to dispose of the case on the merits").
We conclude that the Claims Court erred in converting the Government's motion to dismiss items 2-4 into a motion for summary judgment and in considering summary judgment on item 1 sua sponte without providing notice to Thoen of its intention to do so. The Government's position is correct insofar as it suggests that the Claims Court Rules do not specifically mandate a ten-day waiting period as do the Federal Rules. Cf., e.g., Underwood v. Hunter, 604 F.2d 367, 369 (5th Cir.1979) (requiring strict adherence to the ten-day notice requirement of Federal Rule 56(c)). The Claims Court Rules do, however, embody the same notions of fundamental fairness, buttressed by the constitutional requirement of due process, which mandate that a party have some opportunity, reasonable in the circumstances, to present a case before judgment is entered against it.
The sum of it is that appellant had no opportunity at all to answer count (or item) 1 because the Government did not move to dismiss that count. See footnote 1, supra, and text therewith. As for counts (items) 2-3, appellee's motion to dismiss was made solely on jurisdictional grounds, and (as we have explained, supra) that type of challenge cannot ordinarily be converted (at least without proper notice and chance to respond, not present here) to a motion for summary judgment on the merits. Accordingly, Thoen did not have proper notice or sufficient opportunity to respond to a motion for summary judgment.
The Government contends that, even if summary judgment was improper, the Claims Court correctly dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. The court noted "that plaintiff would be unable at trial to prove any set of facts which would entitle him to relief on claim Item 1 [for the contract price]." 5 Cl.Ct. at 829. Thoen, on the other hand, argues that he performed substantially all the contract called for when he submitted the monthly reports. He urges that, if granted the opportunity, he would prove that he had "already provided the Army with documented findings worth millions of dollars,"3 and that compilation of a final technical report would essentially be a redundant task.
Substantial performance is not a matter easily decided on the pleadings. Whether a party to a contract who has performed some, but not all, of its obligations under the contract has substantially performed is a question of fact. A. Corbin, Corbin on Contracts § 704 (1960).
In each case the answer will depend in large measure upon the character and extent of the partial failure — upon its relative importance to the party affected by it. In all alike we need to know whether the failure is "substantial" or unsubstantial. The ratio between the part that is not performed and the full performance promised varies with the case.
Id. § 700. This court's predecessor adopted a similar view in Burroughs Corp. v. United States, 634 F.2d 516, 225 Ct.Cl. 63 (1980). There the contractor agreed to deliver sorting machines and operating manuals to the Postal Service. The manuals were due before the delivery date for the equipment. Because of technical problems, the contractor delivered the equipment first, and offered to maintain the equipment at its own expense until the manuals arrived. The Postal Service refused this offer, and penalized the contractor. The Court of Claims ruled that, in evaluating the contractor's argument that it had substantially performed its contractual obligations, the Government placed too much importance on the contract's specifics: "In judging the materiality of the delivery sequence, both parties lay almost exclusive stress on the terms of the contract and neglect the actual circumstances of the case." 634 F.2d at 520, 225 Ct.Cl. at 71.
The Claims Court committed a similar error here. The court held simply that "[t]he Government is entitled to get what it contracts for, which in this case was a Final Technical Report." 5 Cl.Ct. at 826-27. This bald assertion completely ignores Thoen's substantial performance arguments, which are not frivolous on their face. Thoen asserts:
All of the data and information required by the said contract was developed by plaintiff and submitted to the defendant, and defendant has received and used all of the data and information delivered by plaintiff, except that, because of the wrongful acts of defendant's authorized representatives, plaintiff did not prepare a final report to formally summarize all the information previously submitted.
Complaint, ¶ 7. Notwithstanding Thoen's allegations of wrongful governmental conduct, the complaint alleges that the Government received substantially all it was entitled to under the contract. On the pleadings, there are certainly two possibilities. The final technical report required under the contract may essentially be only a compilation of the most important monthly reports. On the other hand, it may include synopses and evaluations of data without which the monthly reports are useless. The record of undisputed facts in this case does not admit of a determination in this regard. Summary disposition on this point was, therefore, inappropriate.4
The remaining issue is whether the Claims Court properly dismissed items 2-4 with prejudice, for failure to certify these claims (which exceeded $50,000). Thoen argues primarily that submitting a certified claim to the contracting officer would be a useless act, since he is certain to reject it. Whatever Thoen may prophesy, Congress has determined that submission of a certified claim to the contracting officer in the first instance is a jurisdictional prerequisite to filing a suit in the Claims Court. W.M. Schlosser Co. v. United States, 705 F.2d 1336 (Fed.Cir.1983). The fact that Thoen sent a certified copy of his Claims Court complaint to the contracting officer does not satisfy the statutory requirement. W.H. Moseley Co. v. United States, 677 F.2d 850, 230 Ct.Cl. 405, cert. denied, 459 U.S. 836, 103 S.Ct. 81, 74 L.Ed.2d 77 (1982).
However, the Claims Court erred when it dismissed items 2 and 3 with prejudice. If Thoen now submits his certified claim to the contracting officer and is denied relief, he may then bring his case before the Claims Court again. The Government argues that dismissal with prejudice in this case was appropriate because relief as to items 2-4 was contingent upon success as to item 1. We have, however, reinstated Thoen's case as to item 1. Therefore, the sole ground for dismissing items 2 and 3 was lack of jurisdiction, and dismissal without prejudice is the proper course. Claims Court Rule 41(b); Arlington Alliance, Ltd. v. United States, 685 F.2d 1353, 1360, 231 Ct.Cl. 347, 359-60 (1982).
Item 4, the claim for attorney's fees, is, of course, contingent upon Thoen's success on the merits in the Claims Court. See Essex Electro Engineers, Inc. v. United States, 757 F.2d 247, 250-52 (Fed.Cir.1985) (discussing the Equal Access to Justice Act). This portion of Thoen's complaint should therefore be held in abeyance pending resolution of his case.
For the foregoing reasons, we vacate the judgment of the Claims Court. The case is remanded to that court for: (1) consideration of item 1 of Thoen's complaint in accordance with this opinion; (2) dismissal of items 2 and 3 without prejudice; and (3) appropriate consideration of item 4 at the proper time.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
1. So in Claims Court opinion, not in Thoen's complaint.
2. On brief, the Government states that it moved to dismiss the entire claim for $244,880 — i.e., all four items in Thoen's complaint. The Claims Court's opinion states however that "defendant does not move that claim Item 1 be dismissed." 5 Cl.Ct. at 826.
3. Letter from Richard L. Thoen to Fred Principe, Contracting Officer, dated December 15, 1982. Appellant's App. at 65.
4. The Government argues that the substantial performance doctrine is applied only in cases involving the timely delivery of goods which have minor, correctible defects. In fact, the doctrine initially arose in cases involving construction contracts, but it certainly has not been limited to any particular type of case. See Corbin, supra, § 701. To illustrate, Burroughs, on which we rely in this case, did not involve the situation which the Government describes.
