Speech delivered by Commissioner Christos Stylianides on behalf of High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini
Dear colleagues, Honourable Members [of the European Parliament],
Thank you so much for this opportunity to discuss the human rights situation in Russia and in particular the situation of both illegally detained Ukrainians as well as environmental activists.
The European Union has repeatedly expressed concern at the fate of all Ukrainian citizens illegally detained in the Crimean peninsula and in Russia. These include Crimean Tatars and others who have opposed the illegal annexation, and other Ukrainians. We continue to call for immediate and unconditional release of the captured Ukrainian servicemen and their vessels, as ordered also by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
Diplomats from the EU Delegation and our Member States' embassies in Moscow regularly attend the court hearings and are in contact with the lawyers. The EU also regularly raises individual cases, including Oleh Sentsov, Pavlo Hryb and Edem Berkirov - who require urgent medical assistance - in bilateral meetings with Russian representatives and in public statements, including in the Council of Europe and the OSCE.
Russia holds special responsibility for respecting human rights in the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula. The right to legal counsel, access to consular officers and health care must be fully respected. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has noted that Crimean Tatars continue "to be disproportionately affected by police raids and prosecuted under terrorism and extremism-related offences in proceedings falling short of human rights standards." All pending cases of violations and abuses should be thoroughly investigated. The human rights situation in non-government controlled areas of eastern Ukraine where Russia plays a destabilising role is also deeply worrying.
The overall environment for human rights and civil society activists in Russia is characterised by restrictions on fundamental freedoms. At a time of international awareness of climate catastrophe, violent assaults on individual environmental activists such as Andrey Rudomakha and his colleagues, and judicial harassment of others such as non-governmental organisation Ecodefence! are deeply troubling.
We recall that it is the duty of the Russian authorities to respect and protect the rights of all illegally detained Ukrainian citizens, and the rights of Russian citizens and activists in line with Russia's international human rights commitments.
I conclude by reaffirming our strong commitment and support for human rights and civil society including environmental activists in Russia, as well as illegally detained Ukrainians in particular. The European Union has consistently called on Russia to ensure that human rights violations in Russia and the Crimean peninsula are investigated and accountability and justice for victims assured.
Thank you for your attention.

Hindu temple planned for vacant theater in Hoover
A local Hindu organization purchased a 38,000-square-foot former theater in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover and plans to convert it into a sanctuary and educational space to serve the area's growing Hindu community.
Hindus make up less than 1 percent of Alabama's population, and while an accurate count of adherents in the state is hard to come by, the number of Hindus in the U.S. has more than doubled over the last decade.
Rajan Zed, a prominent Hindu cleric based in Reno, Nevada, issued a statement claiming that there is an increasing population of Hindus in Alabama that will require new temples, or mandirs, to "help the community to pass on Hindu spirituality, concepts and traditions to coming generations amidst so many distractions in the consumerist society."
Zed urged Hoover's mayor and city council to unanimously approve the temple plans, "thus expressing warm welcome to the caring Hindu community" that he said is known for its charity and community development.
BAPS Birmingham is the group that owns the theater property. It operates a temple in North Birmingham that is currently closed due the pandemic. It proposed the plans for its second temple, which include a large worship space and 14 classrooms, to the Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission, which voted on Monday to recommend them for approval by the city council.
Mayor Frank Brocato said that he doesn't anticipate anything preventing that approval.
Before it closed, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan temple hosted weekly assemblies and offered classes to teach children Gujarati, an Indian language distinct from Hindi but similar.
There is another Hindu temple near Hoover not affiliated with BAPS, in neighboring Pelham.
BAPS, which stands for Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, is a Hindu denomination established in 1907 with more than 1 million followers. It operates charities and learning centers worldwide and requires five lifetime vows from its followers: no alcohol, no addictions, no adultery, no meat and no impurity of body or mind.
The population of Hindus in the U.S. increased from 1.2 million in 2007 to 2.23 million in 2014, according to the Pew Research Center. Zed estimated that the number is around 3 million now. It is projected to reach 4.78 million in 2050, or 1.2 percent of the U.S. population.
Trump Truck and boat parades this weekend
As Election Day draws near, Alabama Republicans are excited about promoting the re-election of Donald J. Trump as President and the election of Tommy Tuberville for U.S. Senate. This weekend two pro-President Trump events are happening in the state. There will be a truck parade from Ashland to Phenix City on Saturday sponsored by the Clay County Republican Party, while there will also be a boat parade on Wilson Lake in the Shoals sponsored by the Colbert County Republican Party on Sunday.
The pickup trucks will assemble at the Ashland Industrial Park in Clay County, 8240 Hwy 9, Ashland. There is a pre-departure rally at 10:00 a.m. central standard time. The trucks will depart at 11:00 a.m. and then proceed on a parade route that will take them into the bitterly contested swing state of Georgia. The Trump Pickup Parade will wind through east Alabama and West Georgia traveling through LaGrange and Columbus before concluding near the Alabama/Georgia line in Phenix City, 332 Woodland Drive, Phenix City at approximately 2:00 p.m. central time. Speakers will begin at 3:00. Trump flags will be on sale at the event.
The Phenix Motorsports Park will be hosting what sponsor hope could possibly the world's largest Pickup Tuck parade in U.S. history that is routing over 50 mile through Georgia in effort to "pickup" President Trump's numbers in GA.
A number dignitaries have been invited to address the Phenix City rally, including Coach Tuberville. Former State Sen. Shadrack McGill, Trump Victory Finance Committee member former State Rep. Perry O. Hooper Jr., and Paul Wellborn, the President and CEO of the largest Family owned Kitchen Cabinet manufacture in the USA are among the featured speakers who have committed to speak at the event.
Entertainment will be provided by: Charity Bowden, an up and coming country music singer who was the runner up on "The Voice". Charity will sing 'I am Proud to be an American' as well as songs from her Voice performances. The McGill Girls will also perform. The three beautiful and talented sisters will be singing patriotic songs in three part harmony. Geoff Carlisle, a professional DJ will be keeping the crowd pumped with music and entertainment.
Following the speakers and the entertainment there will Trump truck-vs- Joe Bidden truck races down the drag strip for the finale.
The Northwest Alabama boat parade will be on Sunday. The boats will gather at 2:00 p.m. near Turtle Point and then the flotilla will parade around the open waters of Wilson Lake til 3_00 p.m.. There will be a contest for best decorated Trump boats.
Trump supporters have held a number of large boat parades across the state to show their support for the re-election of Pres. Trump.
Boat parade sponsors say that this parade will be: pro-American, pro-law enforcement, pro-military.
COVID-19 hospitalizations, new cases continue to rise
The number of rising hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Alabama is a concerning sign of a possible coming surge of the disease, state health experts said Friday. Alabama hospitals were caring for 888 coronavirus patients Friday, the highest number since Sept 9.
UAB Hospital was caring for around 80 COVID-19 inpatients Friday afternoon, said Dr. Rachael Lee, an infectious disease specialist at UAB, speaking to reporters Friday. UAB Hospital hasn't had that many coronavirus inpatients since Aug. 18, when the disease was surging statewide.
"We have been dealing with this since March, and I think it's easy for us to drop our guard," Lee said.
Alabama added 3,852 new coronavirus cases on Friday, but 1,287 of them were older positive antigen tests, conducted in June through October and submitted to ADPH by a facility in Mobile, according to the department. Still, Alabama's daily case count has been increasing, concerning health officials already worried that as the weather turns colder and the flu season ramps up, Alabama could see a surge like the state had in July.
Alabama's 14-day average of new daily cases was 1,247 on Friday, the highest it's been since Sept 4. Over the last 14 days, Alabama has added 17,451 new COVID-19 cases.
Friday's inclusion of those older positive test results throws off the day's percent positivity, by Thursday the state's percent of tests that were positive was nearly 16 percent. Public health officials say it should be at or below five percent or cases are going undetected.
The state added 16 COVID-19 deaths on Friday, bringing to total confirmed deaths statewide to 2,859. Over the last two weeks, 206 deaths were reported in the state. Alabama's 14-day average of new daily deaths on Friday was 15.
Alabama state health officer Dr. Scott Harris told APR by phone Friday called the rising new cases and hospitalizations "worrisome."
Harris noted the data dump of older confirmed cases in Friday's data, but said "but nevertheless, I think it's clear our numbers are going up."
Harris said it's not yet clear what's causing the continued spread, but said it may be due at least in part to larger private gatherings. ADPH staff has mentioned a few outbreaks association with such gatherings, but Harris said it's hard to know for certain if that's the major driver in the state's rising numbers.
"It's football season and the holidays are coming up and school is back in session," Harris said. "I think people are just not being as safe as they were."
Harris noted that on ADPH's color-coded, risk indicator dashboard, red counties, which denotes counties with rising cases and percent positivity, the 17 red counties on Friday were distributed across the state.
"So there's not one event, or even a handful of events. It seems like there's just a lot of things happening in a lot of places," Harris said.
Alabama's rising numbers are mirrored in many states. The U.S. reported more than 71,600 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, nearing the country's record highs, set in July.
Birmingham approves $1.3 million contract for real-time crime center technology
Woodfin repeated that facial recognition capabilities will not be used in accordance with the contract.
The Birmingham City Council approved a five-year, $1.3 million contract with Motorola this week to provide new technology for the police department's real-time crime center amid unease and public concern over the potential use of facial recognition software within the new systems.
Mayor Randall Woodfin insisted in his remarks made before the council that the new technology is meant to integrate existing hardware and technology inside the real-time crime center. "You're not buying any additional new equipment," he said, "You're buying something to integrate all those systems."
The software suite includes Motorola Solutions's CommandCentral Aware, a system that aggregates video, image and other data information into one interface, and BriefCam, a "video synopsis" system that will further integrate and analyze information from Birmingham's ShotSpotter systems, public cameras and police body cameras.
Briefcam offers facial recognition capabilities, which was the main concern of community members speaking before the council, and the risk that use of the technology could disproportionately affect Black people. Facial recognition technology has a record of racial bias and misidentifies Black people at rates five to 10 times higher than white people.
"Despite assurances that there will not be facial recognition implemented at this phase that does not prevent it from being implemented in the future," said Joseph Baker, Founder of I Believe in Birmingham and one of the Birmingham residents voicing concern on the proposal. "I believe that this software, if fully implemented, can easily lead to violations of unreasonable searches."
Another resident who spoke against the resolution was Byron Lagrone, director of engineering at medical software solutions company Abel Healthcare Enterprises. Lagrone pointed to IBM and Amazon as examples of companies that have halted or abandoned facial recognition and object tracking software altogether over racial bias concerns.
"The prevailing attitude, among technical people is this technology is not effective, and it causes high amounts of harm for next to no gain," Lagrone said.
Woodfin repeated that facial recognition capabilities will not be used in accordance with the contract.
"It's explicit in this contract that facial recognition will not be used," Woodfin said, "[If] facial recognition wants to be used in the future of this city. It would have to be approved by this body. … The mayor's office or the police department doesn't have unilateral power to use facial recognition. That is not part of what our contractual relationship is with Motorola."
Woodfin also clarified that the total $1.3 million price of the contract will not be paid as a lump sum but spread out over the five-year commitment.
The city council voted 8 to 1 to approve the contract, with District 8 Councilman Steven Hoyt speaking in favor of the use of facial recognition capabilities.
"You can't say, 'I'm going to build a house but I'm not going to use the restroom,'" Hoyt said. "If it's in the house, you're going to use the restroom. … If it has the capability of facial recognition, guess what's going to happen? You're going to use it. I'm going to vote for it because I know we've got to have every tool we can garner to fight crime, because it's out of hand."
Hoyt also suggested a review of the information collected by the new system apparatus.
"I do think, for the public's sake, we need to have some way we review that and see how it's being used," Hoyt said. "We need that to go along with this."
District 3 Councilwoman Valerie A. Abbott — who said she was the victim of a burglary the day before the vote — echoed the mayor's insistence that the facial recognition capabilities would not be deployed unless authorized by the city council, reading a letter from Motorola stating "in order to enable facial recognition, Motorola will require an addendum or change order to the contract," which would have to come before a public meeting of the city council.
"I too would not want facial recognition," Abbot said, "I'm voting in favor of this because the majority of my constituents are telling me they want more and better policing, capture of criminals, prevention of crime."
District 5 Councilman Darrell O'Quinn was the lone no vote among the near-unanimous city council, stating that he had "some reservations about how we're doing this and will vote my conscience." Later, O'Quinn was quoted in BirminghamWatch, saying his vote reflected his concerns about "taking on a new debt obligation in the midst of a projected $63 million shortfall in revenue."
Opinion | Doug Jones's pathway to victory: Substance over lies
Jones said his work in the Senate should prove to the people of the state that party matters less than productivity.
Alabama Sen. Doug Jones believes voters will ultimately see through Tommy Tuberville's lazy campaign and lies, and that enough of them will be moved by his work over the last two years to send him back to D.C.
Jones' comments came during a lengthy interview on the Alabama Politics This Week podcast. He also discussed his plans to address some of Alabama's most pressing issues and also praised Sen. Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican.
But it was Jones' comments about Alabama voters — and whether too many of them are incapable of moving away from the Republican Party — that were most interesting. Jones still believes there are open-minded voters in the state, and that there isn't enough attention being paid to polls showing a growing dissatisfaction in Alabama with President Donald Trump.
"There are a number of things that Donald Trump has done that people (in Alabama) don't agree with," Jones said. "There are a number of things that he's done that's hurt Alabama and that they're not OK with. That's where I come in."
Jones said his work in the Senate, where he's sponsored the most bipartisan legislation over the last two years, should prove to the people of the state that party matters less than productivity.
"I tell everyone, you owe it to yourself to look at every candidate and every issue," Jones said. "I do that. I've been a Democrat all my life but I don't think that I have ever pulled a straight lever. Because I look at every issue. I will tell you that there have been times that I didn't vote for people who are Democrats for whatever reason — I just couldn't do it. I think we owe it to ourselves to do that."
Jones had the perfect example to drive the point home.
"Y'all all know our state auditor, Jim Zeigler? Jim wasn't always a Republican. Jim's first runs for office were as a Democrat.
"I rest my case."

NEA leader goes back to school
Pringle back in the classroom to kick off year two of NEA's Priority Schools Campaign in Evansville
EVANSVILLE, Ind.— - September 12, 2011 -
The secretary-treasurer of the National Education Association congratulated local education leaders for their work in turning academically-challenged schools in Evansville into positive learning environments. NEA Secretary-Treasurer Becky Pringle kicked off the Association's Standing Strong for Students Back-to-School Tour here today, with visits to Evans School and McGary Middle School.
NEA is a strong proponent of union-led transformation through collaborative efforts between teachers and administrators. The Association believes there is a direct correlation between collaboration and student achievement. "I talk about Evansville all the time when I speak about school transformation, but I don't hold up Evansville as a cookie-cutter model everyone should follow," said Pringle. "That doesn't work. What administrators did was to empower these teachers to make the best decisions for their school."
The national education leader witnessed examples of extraordinary collaboration between the school administration and the union in Evansville. The contract bargained by the two groups put extra focus on three schools that have had trouble raising test scores. The bargained contract empowers educators to make the changes that they, as professionals, believe will work.
Pringle was joined by Evansville Teachers Association President Keith Gambill, Indiana State Teachers Association President Nate Schnellenberger and Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation Superintendent David Smith, who stopped by Evans School a quick chat with Pringle.
Early this morning before students arrived at Evans School, Pringle joined a planning session of third grade teachers. The planning sessions were designed by the teachers themselves and created to help transform Evans School, a PSC site. The planning session is a detailed element of the Evansville Teachers Association contract. The group of third grade teachers met this morning to fine tune their work and ensure each of their students had a learning experience that fits their individual academic skills and personalities.
While visiting Evans, Pringle talked a little football with first graders. The football talk was over cereal and milk at Evans' Breakfast-In-The-Classroom program. Large, wheeled coolers, paid for by Jeep® through a special arrangement facilitated by NEA, are used to bring fresh food into each class at Evans as students arrive in the morning. All students share in the free breakfast.
Pringle also watched fifth graders do math on a smart board. Speech teacher, Claire Reinitz, told Pringle that the technology helps to level the playing field for Evans students, who come mostly from low-income families; Evans students will attend middle school with more affluent students.
In the afternoon, the educators moved to McGary Middle School, where Pringle was interviewed by a middle school video production class. Students from the production class interviewed her on camera, asking about her responsibilities as an NEA officer, and what she liked best in her job. Pringle answered, "This! I miss having students and watching you grow. But I love meeting teachers and students all across the country that are doing exciting things in their classrooms to help students learn," such as incorporating up-to-date technology into the classroom.
NEA's 2011 Back-to-School Tour marks the official start of year two of the Association's Priority Schools Campaign (PSC), a multi-year effort in 16 states to help transform 34 low-performing schools.
Pringle and NEA President Dennis Van Roekel are crisscrossing the nation, visiting schools in seven cities, September 12-15th. The veteran educators are getting first-hand views of school improvements and strategies that can be replicated across the country. In addition to Evansville, the NEA leaders will visit Orlando and Miami, Fla., Evansville, Ind., Las Vegas, Nev., and Seattle, Wash.
Photos from NEA's Back-to-School Tour in Evansville will be available here

IMUC, University of Pa. in deal for dendritic-cell production technology
March 2012
LOS ANGELESImmunoCellular Therapeutics (IMUC) announced in late February that it has entered into an agreement with the University of Pennsylvania under which the school has granted IMUC an exclusive, worldwide license for a patent-pending technology for the production of high-activity dendritic cells (DCs).
The license covers the application of this technology to the development of therapeutics for all indications except breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The licensed technology underlies ICT-107, IMUC's lead DC-based cancer vaccine candidate for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. Developed by Dr. Brian J. Czerniecki, co-director of the university's Rena Rowan Breast Cancer Center and surgical director of the immunotherapy program at the Abramson Cancer Center, the technology enables the development of DCs designed to trigger powerful and targeted immune responses to specific cancer antigens.
In the natural human immune system, DCs are responsible for capturing, processing and presenting antigens to T-cells, which in turn target the antigens and destroy them. A key juncture in the process of immunity, the DC's conversion from antigen-capturing to antigen-presenting mode, known as maturation, relies on the production of special messenger cells known as cytokines. Czerniecki's technology produces DCs that express very high levels of the cytokines interleukin (IL) -12 and IP-10, which have been shown to play a key role in initiating T-cell response.
"This licensing agreement represents an expansion of our intellectual property surrounding the technology underlying our lead product candidate, ICT-107," said Dr. Manish Singh, IMUC president and CEO, in a statement. "In addition to contributing to the powerful immune responses to ICT-107 we have observed to date, this technology also enables the manufacture of multiple vaccine shots from a single production run, allowing us to significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing the vaccine. As we continue advancing our ongoing Phase II trial in glioblastoma, we are confident that will continue to realize the benefits of the enhanced efficacy and efficiency of this innovative dendritic-cell production method."
ImmunoCellular Therapeutics (OTC.BB: IMUC) is a Los Angeles-based clinical-stage company that is developing immune-based therapies for the treatment of brain and other cancers.

It's raining kumquats. Literally. My friend Garrett found a fully loaded kumquat tree on his campus and now we are quite flush with them.
A few days ago Garrett brought a jar of these candied kumquats over and we've been nibbling on them ever since. Ridiculously easy to make, candied kumquats are half condiment, half candy.
You can use them on salads, pork, chicken, cheesecakes, or even with chocolate ice cream. Or you can do what I do, which is to sneak a couple out of the fridge and just eat them straight. Sticky gooey goodness!
Candied Kumquats Recipe
- 4 cups of roughly chopped kumquats (roughly 1-1½ lbs.)
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups of sugar
1 With a pairing knife roughly chop the kumquats. Discard any seeds you can that are easy to get too, but they're edible so don't fret if some get chopped up or stay in the fruit. Feel free to leave any small kumquats whole.
2 Heat the water and sugar over high heat until it comes to a boil. Simmer for 4 minutes. Add the kumquats and simmer for 10 minutes.
3 Drain the kumquats through a sieve set over a bowl. Return the syrup to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the syrup. Combine the kumquats and 1/4 cup of the syrup together.
Serve or jar and refrigerate. Can be stored for up to two weeks.

The Atlantic Philanthropies, a foundation set up in 1982 by Charles Feeney, the co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers Group, will spend down its assets and stop making grants in 2016.
Earlier this week, Atlantic's president Christopher Oechsli posted a letter to grantees on the foundation's website, laying out some of the strategy for its final years.
Atlantic has invested upward of $6 billion in grants around the world over its 30-year history. Oechsli said that although the foundation's remaining assets were substantial, they were "extremely limited in comparison to the needs and opportunities," requiring difficult choices.
At present, Atlantic's endowment has $2.2 billion, of which $1.3 billion remains to be granted, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
To be most effective in its final years, Oechsli said, Atlantic will need to focus narrowly on its core program objectives and experiences. The core areas are aging, children and youth, health, and reconciliation and human rights as well as Founding Chairman grants.
Not all program work will continue to 2016, he said. Timing will be determined by where the best opportunities are to have maximum effect, whether there has been significant change and prospects for sustainability are good, and Atlantic's ability to finish its work effectively.
After grant making ends, Atlantic will make final payments, monitor continuing grants and evaluate and share its experiences to enhance grantees' work, Oechsli said.
Atlantic's board decided to make it a limited-life foundation in 2002. In a November 2010 teleconference, Oechsli's predecessor Gara LaMarche discussed a variety of issues related to the spend-down decision.

Las Peñas and Cerro Santa Ana
The Malecón ends in the north at the picturesque barrio of Las Peñas, itself at the foot of Cerro Santa Ana. There's little more to it than a short, dead-end road – Numa Pompilio Llona – paved with uneven, century-old cobblestones, but the colourful wooden houses here make this one of the prettiest corners of Guayaquil. Many of the houses have been beautifully restored, but part of the area's charm derives from the flaking paint and gentle disrepair of those that haven't. A couple of cannons standing by the entrance point towards the river, honouring the city's stalwart resistance to seventeenth-century pirates, and the street is dotted with a few small art galleries; the best is the Casa del Artista Plástico of the Asociación Cultural Las Peñas.
Rising above Las Peñas, the Cerro Santa Ana was a very dangerous slum until a regeneration project transformed a swath of its ramshackle buildings into an eye-catching sequence of brightly painted houses, restaurants, bars and shops built around a winding, 444-step staircase to a viewpoint at the top of the hill: the Plaza de Honores, home to a colonial-style chapel and lighthouse modelled after Guayaquil's first, from 1841.
With its discreet balconies, ornate lampposts and switchback streets leading from intimate plazas, the development does a fair job of evoking the image of a bygone Guayaquil – despite the plastic "tiled" roofs, heavy presence of armed guards and large locked gates blocking out the slums at its margins. Yet the spectacular views from the Plaza de Honores and the top of the lighthouse are definitely worth a visit, particularly after a day on the Malecón as the sun dips on the seething city below. Just below the Plaza de Honores, the open-air Museo El Fortín del Santa Ana holds cannons, seafaring paraphernalia, the foundations of the fortress of San Carlos, built in 1629 to defend the city from pirate attacks, and a reconstructed pirate ship, half of which is a bar. Further below, down by the river, the Puerto Santa Ana is the city's latest regeneration project, currently being developed as a marina complete with waterside cafés, restaurants and apartments.

Copyright squawk: 'Cleaver' scribe challenged on title
Jenny Gardiner was pretty excited when she inked a deal with a Simon & Schuster imprint to publish her memoir, Parrothood: Twenty Years of Caring for a Vengeful Bird Determined to Kill Me.
That euphoria evaporated, however when she got a letter from Patricia Barth, a Shokan, New York, resident who claims that Gardiner's book title infringes Barth's trademark on "Planned Parrothood." Barth registered the term in 1983 for mail order and retail services for exotic birds and supplies, according to the U.S. Patent Office website.
On January 28 of this year, Barth re-filed for the trademark, this time to provide "on-line information via the Internet in the fields of animals and pets, relating to breeding, selection of the animals and pets, grooming, feeding and nutrition," according to the Patent Office.
The Patent Office records indicate that the trademark lapsed in 1989. Should Barth really fight the author of Sleeping with Ward Cleaver?
"It's an exclusive trademark," says Barth, claiming that during the 20 years that her mark had elapsed she still had the right to "common-law use."
Barth alleges there are similarities between her website and Gardiner's upcoming book–- particularly on the topic of African Gray parrots.
"Somebody might buy her book and think it's a legitimate Planned Parrothood book," complains Barth. "Not only that, [the title is] disparaging to African grays, which I breed."
However, Gardiner contends that her memoir–- which she describes as "David Sedaris meets Marley and Me, only with a powerful, ferocious beak"–- does not chomp Barth's rights.
Barth refuses to say whether she has a lawyer, but says she intends to issue a preliminary injunction against Gardiner's book and believes the matter is going to court.
She says she's sending out Digital Millennium Copyright Act notices, and warns that even the Hook could be in violation.
"I am going after everyone," she vows. And she tells the Hook that it could be liable for writing about the issue and giving Gardiner pre-publication publicity, which is "almost a double violation," she contends.
"Please immediately remove the word 'parrothood' wherever it appears in this online publication," she writes. "It is a violation of my trademark rights that I own exclusively."
Barth says she too has written a book, but declines to provide the title and suggests the Hook look it up. (The U.S. Copyright Office lists a 1987 title, Bird of 1001 unique bird names.) She also has written articles and says she's compiling material for future books.
Barth owns about 20 parrots and after devoting her life to parrothood, she's aggrieved that Gardiner refuses to change her title. "It's disgusting," fumes Barth. "She knows it's an exclusive trademark."
But does Barth really own the term "parrothood"?
"No, you don't automatically get the right to exclude people from using subparts of your trademark," opines Dale Jensen with Zobrist Law Group.
Barth's TM is "for the term 'Planned Parrothood' and not the term 'parrothood' by itself," concurs intellectual property attorney Sheldon Parker.
In her letter to the Hook, Barth alleges that this newspaper's "pre-publication publicity won't be tolerated in accordance with the Lanham Act (dilution and tarnishment)."
"The anti-dilution provision of the statute applies to famous marks," points out lawyer Parker. "Toyota, Microsoft, and RCA would qualify as famous marks." He suggests that "planned parrothood" could fall short of the higher standard.
"Trademark infringement is based on confusion in the market place," he explains. "If two competitors are not in the same market place, sell through different channels, and/or sell to different categories of customers, then confusion is unlikely."
The term "parrothood" pops up about 2,500 times in a Google search. Barth is undeterred.
"You're interfering with justice," Barth counsels the Hook. "This is a federal case."
Update 3/25/2009: Barth says the title of her 1987 book is listed incorrectly in the U.S. Copyright Office and is Book of 1001 Unique Bird Names.

planned parenthood's website claims that organization has been around for 90 years. if anyone had reason to sue, it would be them suing barth. can anyone honestly say she isn't likely to have profited substantially from jumping onto their coattails to take advantage of their already well know name?
for those of you barth supporters checking in from far away, my post was meant as a humorous reference to another trivial lawsuit by a local chicken farmer.
geez, what is it with bird people?
Deb, Brenda, and to a lesser extent Ancloter:
If Barth proudly represents the term "planned parrothood," more power to her. If she is a great and dedicated parrot breeder, that's great! I have no doubts that she cares passionately about parrots. My qualms is with what she has done outside of her profession. By attacking Gardiner on COMPLETELY unfounded grounds she deserves the term nutter. Someone can be an excellent parrot handler and still bat (hah, no pun intended) crazy. Clearly Barth falls into this category. As the numerous lawyers in this article illustrate, SHE HAS NO LEGAL BEARING FOR THE THREATS SHE IS MAKING. That's undeniable.
If Barth doesn't want character attacks, then she shouldn't do crazy things like this. And Ancloter, I am trying to impress no one. Unlike you, who is CLEARLY attempting to impress friends by defending Barth on this news article, I am writing this because I read it and thought she sounded like a loon (there's another crazy bird pun! my apologies).
Having known Miss Barth via telephone for some years now, I can say
without fear of contradiction that if BS was music then people like John and Squawk would be entire brass bands. These types merely like
to see their names and senseless comments in print in order to feel good about themselves and to show their circle of 'friends' what they have done. Miss Barth, Pat, is one of the most caring
people for her charges that I have ever known and Parrothood, whether Planned or not always brings Miss Barth immediately to mind.
It is a shame that someone is attempting to cut and bale the hay that Pat made while the sun shines. Perhaps justice will once again
prevail and Miss Barth's long established position will be upheld.
That's the problem with blogging, ignorant people who don't even know an individual making rude comments. John grow up.. Close your beak.
I've known Pat for over 30 years, she is an unselfish, respectful, caring, nurturing and dedicated person who has spent a large part of her life raising, training and handling parrots and birds of all sizes. She is well known and respected in the Avian community as a positive source and subject matter expert.
When I hear Planned Parrothood or Parrothood, I think of only one source, Pat Barth.
Pat, stick to your guns! I've known of you, YOUR PLANNED PARROTHOOD and your extrodinary work with parrots for over 20 yrs and I know of no other that has dedicated such extrodinary effort to the well being of parrots.
what is it with bird farmers and stupid lawsuits?
"Numerous Lawyers say that Miss Barth has no claim" so says John in
his latest blurb. He should keep in mind Chief Justice Warren burger of the US Supreme court once stated that, "75 to 90 percent of trial lawyers are incompetent, dishonest or both." So where is
the confidence in what lawyers say?
Barth sounds like a total nutter! Parrothood Parrothood Parrothood. Am I gonna get sued too?
OK. Calling all Parrotheads! Jimmy Buffett Fans of the World, UNITE! Let's sue both the silly wenches into obamablivion. Jimmy Buffett's got the merchandising cash machine perfected to an art form (with commensurate enforcement/infringement attorneys attack parrots in the wings). I'm thinking of starting a bird-cage-cleaning business, but www.parrotpoop.com is already taken. Durn. I'd like to thank myself for posting this, er... wait, that's your speech!
I don't have the faintest idea about who is right in the trademark dispute here, but this woman telling The Hook that they can't write about the matter? That's just crazy. She doesn't have a leg to stand on, and apparently knows little about trademark law or, indeed, freedom of the press. How embarrassing for her.

Well, the way it works right now is that it adds 1 to %lastfm_play_count%, whenever %last_played% is more than 5 minutes greater than %lastfm_last_played%. This will have the effect of bumping the %lastfm_play_count% once the song reaches 1 minute elapsed and %play_count% increments, but it also will bump %lastfm_play_count% if for whatever reason foobar counted a play, but it was never recorded in lastfm (scrobble was ignored/lost, didn't play 50% of the song, etc.). This makes %lastfm_play_count% behave more as a super conservative "guess" at total active playcount: i.e. we know lastfm has 14 scrobbles of this song, and there's at least one we don't know about.With the option enabled, could you play Stories From the Streets all the way through (and make sure it gets scrobbled), and then see if the numbers sync back up?

TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts have a chance to celebrate the Grey Cup's centennial on home turf this week. The Calgary Stampeders will do their best to spoil the party.
The 100th Grey Cup will be Toronto versus Calgary on Sunday at the Rogers Centre, the Argonauts' home field.
The Argos last won a Grey Cup at home in 1952 — they lost one in Toronto in 1982 and now they're home again in 2012 — each time exactly 30 years apart.
The Stampeders are playing in the championship game for the first time since winning it against the Montreal Alouettes in 2008. That year they upset the Als on their home turf at Olympic Stadium.
Calgary earned a berth this year by upsetting the defending champion B.C. Lions 34-29 in the CFL West final at B.C. Place Stadium, while the Argonauts advanced by stunning the Alouettes 27-20 in Montreal in the East final yesterday.
Off-season acquisition Ricky Ray powered Toronto with 399 yards passed, including a touchdown strike, as the Argonauts reached the Grey Cup for the first time since 2004, when they won their 15th title with a victory over B.C.
Stampeders quarterback Kevin Glenn threw for three touchdowns as Calgary denied the Lions a chance to repeat.
For the 33-year-old Glenn it will be his first chance to play in a Grey Cup after 12 season in the CFL. He was denied the opportunity in 2007 after he led the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to victory in the East Final but suffered a fractured arm.
That year's Grey Cup, which the Bombers lost to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, was also in Toronto.
The last time the Stampeders faced the Argonauts in the CFL championship was in 1991 in Winnipeg, where Toronto won 36-21 with the help of Rocket Ismail. The wide receiver recorded an 87-yard touchdown on a kickoff return and was named game MVP.

Broxton undergoes surgery on forearm
CINCINNATI -- Reds right-handed reliever Jonathan Broxton had season-ending surgery on Friday to repair a torn flexor mass in his right forearm. Team medical director Dr. Tim Kremchek performed the operation.
Broxton's rehabilitation is expected to take approximately six months. That would put him close to the start of Spring Training in 2014.
"It will be basically about four months before he picks up a ball, because it will be all soft tissue rehab and strengthening before he actually starts throwing," Reds head trainer Paul Lessard said.
Broxton came out of Wednesday's game when he felt something pull apart in his forearm while pitching in the eighth inning vs. the D-backs.
"It wasn't the worst news possible," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It could have been a much more severe operation. There is a silver lining that it wasn't in the ligament. It wasn't in the joint. He could be ready in 5-6 months, hopefully."
In 34 games this season, Broxton is 2-2 with a 4.11 ERA and 25 strikeouts over 30 2/3 innings. He's allowed 27 hits and walked 12. He was on the disbaled list from June 15-Aug. 9 because of a flexor mass strain in his right elbow.

You will find information on this page about adding an accessory dwelling unit to a property. Every dwelling unit functions as a separate unit. They are commonly known as "mother-in-law apartments", "granny-flats" or studio apartments.
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a second dwelling unit created on a lot with a house, attached house or manufactured home. The second unit is created auxiliary to, and is smaller than, the main dwelling. ADUs can be created in a variety of ways, including conversion of a portion of an existing house, addition to an existing house, conversion of an existing garage or the construction of an entirely new building.
A building permit is required to build an accessory dwelling unit. Depending on the scope of work, your project will most likely also require electrical, plumbing and/or mechanical permits. For new construction, your permit will be reviewed under provisions of the current Oregon Residential Specialty Code. View more information on building codes
It is recommended that you visit the Development Services Center to talk with staff about your project while in the planning stages. Staff can help you determine if an ADU is allowed on your property and to discuss zoning standards that are applicable to your project. They can also help answer questions about the building code and applicable construction standards, and utilities.
There are a variety of design and use standards in the zoning code which apply to the creation of an ADU. These include limiting the overall number of residents in both units, limitation with respect to home occupations, and the location of entrance doors and size of the ADU. Where an ADU is created in a new detached structure there may be additional standards regulating the exterior appearance and materials of the ADU depending on the height of the ADU. These additional standards include provisions for the roof pitch, trim, eaves and windows.
When converting an existing unfinished space to an ADU, some features, such as ceiling heights, windows, stairs and insulation, may not meet current building code requirements for finished space. These conditions could make it expensive, difficult or even impossible for you to change your attic, basement or garage into living space.
The ADU Program Guide outlines zoning requirements, construction standards, utility standards and other requirements in detail.
For additional requirements that apply to detached ADUs, please see the Detached Covered Accessory Structures Worksheet.
Some research on your property may be required in preparation for submitting a building permit application. Find out how to research your property and where to locate the information in preparation for your permit application.
The following information must be submitted when applying for a permit to build an ADU. Since every project is unique, there may be some situations where you will be asked to provide additional information.
To submit for a permit, bring these forms, and four (4) copies of site, architectural, and structural plans (for the area of proposed work and areas affected by such work ) along with intake fees to the Development Services Center.
The Bureau of Development Services sells a "Residential Combination" permit package. This allows you to call for all inspections using just the Building Permit (RS) IVR number and pay for all the permits at one time. You will need to submit the trade (mechanical, electrical, and/or plumbing) application(s) signed either by you, if you are doing these portions of the work yourself, or by your licensed subcontractors. If you do not have your completed subcontractor forms when you are applying for your residential permit (RS) you will have to apply for trade permits separately from the building permit. Sub-contractors that you hire must be registered with the State of Oregon and carry the correct licenses in association with their trade.
You may estimate your permit fees using the Online Fee Estimator.
Plan reviewers from the Bureau of Development Services representing fire life safety and structural disciplines, as well as staff from the Parks Bureau, Office of Transportation, Bureau of Environmental Services, and Water Bureau, will all participate in the review of your plans.
The bureaus/review groups that will check a typical conversion project include:
See the Permit Processing Flowchart
A checksheet is sent to the applicant when a reviewer needs additional information or a correction has to be made to the plans. When you have gathered the additional information or made the corrections, bring the plans/information to the Development Services Center. Reviewers will be notified that a checksheet response has been received and the review will continue. More information on checksheets.
Status Reports
Status reports are available after your project has been assigned to reviewers. Status reports show all reviews and include the reviewer's name and phone number. To obtain a status report, call (503) 823-7000 and select option four to have a status report faxed to you or call (503) 823-7357 to have one mailed to you.
Permit Issued
When the last technical review is approved, your permit will be pre-issued. You will be contacted when your permit is ready, and of your final fee total. Fees may be paid by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover.
If your permit is ready for issuance, you may pick up your permit between 8:00 am - 3:00 pm, Monday-Friday (8:00 AM to Noon on Thursdays) at Permitting Services, located on the 2nd floor of1900 SW 4th Avenue, Portland, OR. For more information call (503) 823-7357.
The blue inspection card lists all the inspections you will likely need during your construction project, and what work needs to be done first.
Once your building permit is issued, any required erosion control measures must be installed, prior to beginning any further ground disturbing activities.

Mission, Vision & Goals
CLU Vision of PDS Partnership
California Lutheran University and its professional development school partners share a common vision of teaching and learning grounded in research and best professional practices. We believe that the collaborative efforts between students, our teacher candidates, school and university faculty, and the community we serve, greatly benefit all learners.
Our Vision of Educator Preparation and Development
The mission of California Lutheran University is to educate leaders for a global society who are strong in character and judgment, confident in their identity and vocation, and committed to service and justice.
In accordance with the mission of Cal Lutheran, the Graduate School of Education seeks to develop reflective, principled educators who STRIVE to:
- Serve as mentors and models for moral and ethical leadership
- Think critically to connect theory with practice
- Respect all individuals
- Include and respond to the needs of all learners
- Value diversity
- Empower individuals to participate in educational growth and change
Unlike some mission statements, STRIVE is authentically integrated into the lives of both students and faculty in the Graduate School of Education. This devotion to basic principles is one of the things that set CLU's graduates apart.
We continually strive to put this vision into ACTION through engagement in:
- Active learning
- Collaboration and connections
- Technology supported learning
- Inquiry and critical examination
- Ongoing reflection and development
- Nexus of theory, research and practice
Serve as mentors and models for moral and ethical leadership
We believe that we have the moral responsibility to lead, guide, and educate the young. Teaching is an honorable vocation that demands a high level of committed service.
We strive to prepare reflective, principled educators who understand the moral purpose and dimension of the educational endeavor. These educators mentor, model, and educate with care, commitment, and purpose. They demonstrate knowledge, skills, character, and ethical perspectives needed for effective leadership and practice in a global society.
Think critically to connect theory with practice
We believe that theory and practice are integrally related. Theory both informs and is informed by practice that is researched, examined, and tested in a critical, thoughtful manner.
We strive to prepare reflective, principled educators who clearly understand and articulate their roles and responsibilities as educators, but continue to examine and extend their own practice. They value theory and employ critical, reflective thinking for the purposes of solving problems, making decisions, facilitating change, and producing new knowledge and understandings about their work.
Respect all individuals
We believe that all individuals have worth and should be treated with dignity and respect.
We strive to prepare reflective, principled educators who care about their students and seek to understand and build on the strengths, understandings, abilities, perspectives, and styles of learning that each individual brings to the educational endeavor.
Include and respond to the needs of all learners
We believe that all individuals can learn. It is our responsibility to understand students and their needs and to organize meaningful learning opportunities in response to those needs.
We strive to prepare reflective, principled educators who commit to developing, using, and promoting positive growth and development for each individual while respecting and understanding differing contributions of all members of the learning community. These educators commit to service and justice for all.
Value diversity
We believe that diversity brings opportunities to the learning environment. Students bring a rich variety of family backgrounds, languages, cultures, religious beliefs, and learning styles to the classroom and the school community.
We strive to prepare reflective, principled educators who are secure in their own identities, who acknowledge their own predispositions, biases, and limitations, and are open to engage in dialogue and examine ideas that may be new or unfamiliar. They actively incorporate their student's background and experience into learning opportunities and activities.
Empower individuals to participate in educational growth and change
We believe in the need to create schools that are purposeful, moral, and successful learning communities.
We strive to prepare reflective, principled educators who enable and equip individuals and communities for renewal, growth, and positive change. They seek self-growth as they clarify their own knowledge, vision, and understanding. They work collectively and through others to transform their schools and their organizations.

Did Tim Ferriss miss a bean alternative?
I will be the first to say that Tim is a very well researched guy, and that his efforts and countless hours spent investigating multiple topics have improved my life, and the lives of many thousands of people. For that I owe him great gratitude, a big thanks and a lot of respect. I was surprised then when I randomly picked up a can at my local grocery store and discovered that it's nutrition panel was almost identical to the can of beans I was holding in my hand - and what I was looking at was not what anybody would consider a bean, or a lentil. Read on to find out what I was holding, and whether it's an alternative to beans. Continue reading

If you're among the millions of U.S. residents who each year send tens of billions of dollars to family, friends or foreign businesses overseas, here's good news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently instituted new rules governing international electronic money transfers to better protect consumers against hidden fees and improve dispute resolution policies.
The bureau was given oversight over international money transfers as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Before then, federal consumer protection rules did not apply to most 'remittance transfers,' whose exchange rates, processing fees and taxes often vary widely and can be hard to decipher.
Here's an overview of the new remittance transfer rules:
In general, most foreign money transfers for more than $15 sent by money transmitters (like Western Union and MoneyGram), banks, credit unions and other financial services companies that consistently send more than 100 international money transfers annually are covered.
These institutions now must fully disclose their fees, taxes and foreign currency exchange rates so consumers will have a clearer picture of the true cost of transactions and be able to more easily comparison shop. Also, once a transaction concludes, the company now must provide a receipt that repeats this same information, as well as shows the date when the money will arrive and directions for reporting any problems with the transfer.
The new regulations include several additional protections:
• Consumers are allowed 30 minutes (and sometimes longer) to cancel a transfer after they've paid - in which case, they're entitled to a full refund. (However, if the recipient has already picked up the funds or had them deposited into their account before 30 minutes have passed, the refund guarantee is voided.)
• If the wire was scheduled in advance, you can cancel it up to three business days before the transmission and receive a full refund.
• Senders have 180 days to report any errors they later uncover. By law, the company must investigate such reports within 90 days. For certain errors (e.g., if the money never arrived), you can ask for a full refund or have the money resent.
While the new regulations are certainly welcome, they don't go far enough when it comes to helping customers compare the net costs of making money transfers at different vendors. You'll still need to carefully weigh each company's exchange rate (which fluctuates frequently) and fees (which vary depending on how much you're sending, how quickly you want the money to arrive and the funding method) to determine which one provides the best value - the so-called 'effective exchange rate.'
One company may have a more favorable exchange rate than another but charge higher fees. Depending on how much money you're trying to transfer and by what method, however, the balance could shift over which transaction is more cost-effective.
To calculate various effective exchange rates, add the amount you're sending (in U.S. dollars) plus all fees; then divide that into the amount of foreign currency to be delivered. The company with the highest result provides the best value.
If you don't trust your math skills, Viamericas has a handy comparison tool that lets you plug in fees and exchange rates for up to three additional vendors and it will calculate their effective exchange rates (visit www.viamericas.com). Use the tool's manual comparison option to allow for more choices.

Profar still undecided about playing in Classic
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar said he is still undecided about playing in the World Baseball Classic for the Netherlands. Profar, who is from Curacao, is on the provisional roster for the Netherlands and has to make a decision sometime next week.
"It's tough," Profar said. "There are a lot of things to think about."
Profar admitted he is getting pressure back home to play in the tournament. But he also knows that staying in camp would increase his chances of winning a spot on the Opening Day roster in a meaningful utility role.
"That's going to be important," Profar said.
The Rangers are letting Profar make the decision and said they will support him either way.
Profar is not going to play regularly for the Rangers unless there is an injury. He is effectively blocked by shortstop Elvis Andrus and second baseman Ian Kinsler. But the Rangers will consider keeping Profar on the team if they can find a meaningful utility role for him.
That is probably going to be a long shot. The Rangers are far more likely to send Profar to Triple-A Round Rock so he can play regularly rather than having him sit on the bench too much.
If there is a chance to make the team, Profar said he wants to take advantage of it.
"I just want to be here and do everything I can to be here," Profar said. "I just have to play and then show them what I can do. Then they have to choose."
