There are fees among fees but that is standard for this type of card. Customer service is next to zero but that was not an option on this review. If you try to cancel the card there are complications with that to put it mildly. The card is cancelled but they still withdraw money from your account and charge you every time you call to get a status. If things go well and you don't mind running around to transfer funds manually or go to your bank time and time again to confirm "The Approved Card" that it is really you transferring the funds, the card kind of works. Right now my mom has a balance that is in limbo for the past two months and about $50 in charges, trying to figure out why the card is blocked. The good news is the funds will be exhausted soon so I am sure the block will be removed at that time. I was a Suze Orman fan but to provide zero level of service and charge for it is a real shame. I have never dealt with a company this poor in customer service and hope to minimize the damage in exiting.… more

I was finally able to get the account working again after a month of running around. We will see how things go now. There seems to be a shift in the level of customer service lately.

I am an existing card holder. Recent changes to the card's web site prompt many questions, but neither the phone number on the back of my card nor the email options on the web site work, leaving no way to resolve problems. How can this be a "people first" card if people cannot contact them?

By: Mike Davis
Rip off. Fee after fee charged. Difficulty cancelling, because even after it's cancelled they continue to withdraw money, which leads to bank fees when money is not there.

This is such a rip off. There are fees among fees. Then when you try to cancel the card there are complications with that. The card is cancelled but they still withdraw money from your account. Then you try to go online to stop the money from being withdrawn, then there hoops to jump through. You have to reset your password. They say they are sending your new password to your email,...it never appears, not in spam or junk either. Just a scam don't do it. Suze Orman shame on you.

In just over a month Suze Orman's card has helped us rein in our spending dramatically. The way it's going to improve MY credit score is to help me get previously-used credit cards completely paid off! I'm sure that's true of any prepaid card. 2 things I'm uncomfortable with: it takes 3 days to get money from my bank deposited onto the card (although if I have it there already, transfering money from main account to husband's card is immediate). I like the per-transaction e-mails, but the phone TEXTS are not specific about whose card they're referring to, AND, unlike the e-mails, they tend to lag in immediacy, sometimes DAYS late. Has proven embarrasing.… more

The Suze Orman credit card is not a what it is cracked up to be.. 1. monthly fee (I pay my credit cards off each month and I don't get a charge) Customer Service is free for 1 call and then you pay $2 for each additional call. My other credit card doesn't charge at all to contact them. The worst thing about this card is you have to go through a 3rd party to put money on it to spend, such as western union. WHAT? Is she just trying to confuse people? Just pay your bills and don't get yourself into a financial crisis.
Apr 6, 2012

You are absolutely right!! However, a more accurate comparison should be relative to your debit card because Suze's card (like all other prepaid cards) does NOT offer a line of credit and does not help you build ANY credit history.

I just saw this on the Nate Berkus show. I think this idea is wonderful and its about time someone did this...thank you Suze Orman!
Mar 28, 2012
By: Bonnie Alexander
Per Suze Orman herself (she is on Nate Berkus now). Other Prepaid cards charge a monthly fee of $50. She also said there is no prepaid card that will give you a fico score or any credit score for that matter. However, with this card you have unlimited access to free credit scores of your other cards and after six months of use with this card, then Fico will do an evaluation to determine if they can give you a score. It is the first card to do this, but throughout the time you have the card your information is shared with the 3 credit score companies. Cheers! I still think a monthly fee sucks, but hey every bodies gotta get paid.… more
Mar 28, 2012
Card Hub
Bonnie Alexander - While Suze is certainly right about the fact that no prepaid card will impact your FICO score, her card does not provide any tangible benefit to your credit standing either. What seems to get lost in The Approved Card's marketing spiel is the fact that TransUnion is merely using anonymous data about card transactions to judge whether or not it would make sense to include prepaid card and debit card information on consumer credit reports down the road. This deal won't affect you at all in the short term and is unlikely to amount to much in the long term either. In short, it's neither a reason to get The Approved Card, nor a reason to pass on it. As far as cost goes, I'm assuming you meant to write that some prepaid cards have $5 monthly fees because we have not seen an offer with anything approaching a $50 fee. At any rate, the $3 monthly fee that Suze Orman's card charges is cheaper than what some other prepaid cards charge, but you can find less expensive options as well. For example, the Green Dot Prepaid Card does not assess a monthly fee when you load at least $1,000 in a given month, and the American Express Prepaid Card never charges one.… more

By: Dinorah H. Nauman
This is just awful. Charging people to use their own money? As well it is NOT helping your credit score "as of yet" I cannot believe Suze Orman Is doing this. She has always been on the up and up...and On top of it it's not helping the consumer.... Try Going to a local Credit Union to build your score/ help with your credit, They might be able to help you without charging you these Fees!

Creighton McCain
The 3.00 fee is all you pay! if its used properly and that is worth it just for the free credit bereau scores you get! Plus allpoint atm network free with only 20 bucks deposited monthly. This card is alot better then some others. She is trying to start a movement by having the bereaus use debit cards to build your score..
Feb 2, 2012
By: Creighton McCain
Wow I really don't get some of the critisicm of this card. I don't even need it & I signed up for one because the 3.00 fee is so worth the Transunion credit monitoring! Plus you can use allpoint atm's for free with no fee just by direct depositing 20 bucks per month! Which is no problem for me. This card may not suit everyone, but compared to other offerings it's great.. Again I don't see why the big rant people are making?

lol..maybe in 2 years..but I don't care..if u have a 0 credit score..that means u owe 0 banks..loan companies and credit cards 0 money...witch means u have 0 debt! the penalty and price we pay for having a fico score is known as interest..that's extra money we pay some one else for things we bought on credit..im only interested in paying interest to myself..and making " pay me, s" not payments! I ue my BANK debit card for free! I don't pay atm fees...customer service fees..activation fee...and I am not giving my money to Suzie Orman..lol...this is a joke!

Actually having no annual fee credit cards that you do NOT use or for which you pay the balance in full every month allows you to build your FICO score at NO cost. If your no annual fee credit card also has rewards and you are disciplined enough to pay it in full each month and not overspend, then you end up also getting paid for building and maintaining a solid credit score that can come handy for a number of reasons, including paying less on your car insurance. Nevertheless, Suzie Orman's card, like all other prepaid cards, will do NOTHING for your credit score and there is no reason it should be used by anyone that already has a free checking account.… more

lol exactly..and if you TRULY want to have more opportunities to build personal wealth...gain financial peace.and learn and understand the principle of "When you learn how money truly works...your money will start working for you instead of you just working for it"..you will stop being like everyone else who is worshiping at the altar of the totally useless "FICO " score. In order to have a large credit or FICO score..u must allow your self to have debt! If every pay check you brought home from now and forever had no payments of any kind coming out...think of how much money you could save up...and buy things with cash..therefore never paying any interest...except to your self on your own personal investments! Having to have a credit score in order to buy things is a myth all of us are fed...I have learned over the last two years the truth. I have" o" credit score...o cards or loans of any kind and instead of being a hamster that gets up every day to go to work to make payments to credit cards and loan companies.I have more money in the bank than I have ever had and I make payments to myself! We live in a society where instant gratification is the behavioral norm on so many facets. Credit enables you to act irresponsibly with your hard earned money..because it enables you to purchase things that you will always pay extra for..because you could not afford them or did not have the ability or desire to tell yourself no..I can't afford that right now. Credit and life itself do have one absolute principle in common...If you are born..you will die...if you use credit..you will pay interests. That is a mathematical certainty...When I die some day..yes..I will not be taking any thing with me..but now that I know how stupid it is to use credit..I wont be giving it away while I am here. I just find it financially hypocritical that Suzie Orman..a person who is supposed to be helping people become smarter with their money...would have the audacity to put out a product that belies the very underlying principles of smart money management...by offering a card that charges you a fee to access your own money..then again..she is not Dave Ramsey..so that explains it all lol. I have a friend who has a o credit score as well..he went to a dealership..after saving for two years mind you..and bought a brand new truck for 7,000 less than the window price..lol...it was supposed 0% interest as well....but when he asked the salesman the "cash" price"..he saw where the interest was hidden lol. Sacrificing for two years to succeed and driving a 1000 craigslist cash beater car sucks...but not succeeding with money sucks worse!… more

Not for nothing, but I have a checking account, a savings account, money market accounts and Roth IRA's. I have not been cut off from the banking world in anyway and STILL believe that the prepaid card is a fantastic choice. By placing a monthly allowance on myself through the prepaid card, and using my checking and saving FOR savings and paying bills...I have been able to balance everything to a tee with minimal time AND save a large amount of money that I otherwise would have spent using my Debit card. Prepaid cards are not JUST for people with bad credit or no bank accounts....Suse Orman's point of all this is to budget yourself, pay attention to what you are wasting your money on, and save! How can that be negative?… more

While the American Express prepaid card has much lower fees than most prepaid cards, they do not offer a bill payment service which renders the card useless as an alternative to a checking account. Also they are not affiliated with an ATM network which means that the combination of Amex's ATM fees together with the fee charged by the owner/operator of the ATM can make the Amex card a very costly card for someone that needs frequent ATM access.
Here is more information on the Amex prepaid debit card:

TheDark Child - Actually neither Suze's prepaid debit card or ANY other prepaid card help you build your credit in any sort of manner! It is actually unfortunate that Suze markets her card in such a misleading way... The only thing that Orman's prepaid card does is that it shares purchase, payment and other transaction information with TransUnion (one of the major credit bureaus) so that they can study the correlation between that information and the information that is currently included in most consumer credit reports. In other words it is a study that will yield NO changes to a consumer's credit report and credit score. Maybe two years after the study is complete something actionable might emerge. Bottom line is that if you need to build or rebuild your credit score stay away from Suze Orman's prepaid card or ANY other prepaid card for that matter. Just apply for a secured credit card: http://www.cardhub.com/credit-cards/secured/… more

From what I am reading this card does not appear to nickle and dimes the consumers to death, except for the ATM fee! which is like a navel string to all the financial institutions. However a card that is called the Peoples Gold Prepaid card with the interest of the consumers and at the same time own by the people would be the best solution to oppressed people who has to rely on these prepaid cards. Can you imagine how this would empower people and help most of us to climb out of poverty. I am so sick and tired of the same set of people enjoying most of the wealth including the people who have shares in these prepaid cards! come on lets start practicing some of what we preach. Lets empower the less fortunate and help them out of the hole!… more

This is a really good idea, so essentially what you propose is a not-for-profit prepaid card that at the end of each month or year distributes any excess revenue back its cardholders based on their usage of the prepaid card?
Jan 12, 2012

"There's nothing wrong with saying, 'I want to have more, I want to be more, I did this for money,'" Suze Orman, the reknowned financial advisor once said. She's also said, "People first, then money, then things" and "Many people are in the dark when it comes to money, and I'm going to turn on the lights." So which mindset does Orman's Approved Prepaid Card coincide with? Is it the unapologetic seeker of wealth or the public figure who has espoused a desire to help people better handle their finances? Could it be both? Let's see. The first thing yiu have to look at when evaluating a prepaid card are the fees. After all, if a card is expensive, it doesn't really matter what else it has to offer. While the $2 The Approved Card from Suze Orman typically charges for ATM withdrawals gets waived when you make a direct deposit or bank transfer, there's still the $3 one-time activation fee and $3 monthly fee to worry about. Plus, there's a $2/call fee to talk to a customer service agent more than once, which should be worrisome if you are someone who often has questions about your financial products. Ultimately, the Suze Orman is a competitive option (much more so than Lil Wayne's) which is the best choice for certain types of people and usage and in the conversation for others. I'd still use the Green Dot Prepaid Card as a replacement checking account since its free if you load at least $1k and make withdrawls from in network ATMs. On the other hand, I'd use Orman's Approved Card if I wanted to put my kid's allowance on it and let him get the feel of managing a card account because it would be the cheapest option. Finally, I want to point out the reason why I have not really mentioned the "special features" Suze Orman's prepaid card offers: many aren't really special features at all. Identity theft protection is great as is the Emergency Fund function, but things like TransUnion credit monitoring and Suze's advice can be found for free elsewhere. My advice would therefore be to not get the Suze Orman prepaid card just because it has her name attatched, but to not rule it out off hand for the same reason. Think about how much it would cost you each month, compare it to other cards and pick the lowest cost option.… more

I think a caution is required about the green dot cards. I have read online at refundsweepers.com general chat board that they are hard to use and the fees can run really, really high so that you don't get to use anywhere near the amount you load on the cards.

And even when I look and see the account balance as good, somehow I get hit with a over draft fee. (36.00) so why not pay the 3.00 to open and any other fees. I'm still spending less. I want my account to have money in it that's all. I don't want to do online bill pay or anything related to that with my bank.

It is not true that rental cars will not take debit cards. Major car rental companies accept debit cards and prepaid cards but usually put a hold of the max of $250 OR (the cost of the rental + 15%). If you do not want to deal with such a high hold on your money then I would recommend you get a secured credit card:

The main difference between all prepaid cards (including the Suze Orman Prepaid Card) and bank debit cards, is that bank debit cards are linked to a checking account and therefore you get an actual checkbook whereas prepaid cards are not and thus you can not write checks.

Suze has really managed to confuse all of us. Hasn't she? The Approved Prepaid Card will NOT IMPROVE anyone's credit score. Maybe in a few years that will change but as of now that is a fact. It has a $3 monthly fee because that's the way Suze makes money out of her prepaid debit card.
Secured credit cards are the only option for people that want to build their credit scores.

It takes time to fix a broken system, and I applaud what Suze is working on here with this card. It's a decent card from what I can see on it's own, but if enough people actually use it, chances are down the road her goal of creating ways for people who do not want to be slaves to credit card companies, wall street, etc. and yet still have good credit, could actually happen. That takes VISION, and I hope people will consider that this is not a quick fix, but a great initiative that could actually help get this country back on track - in the bigger picture.

@ James Stein - Sorry for the confusion. While you can obviously use the Amex prepaid card to make payments to all merchants that accept Amex cards, the card does not offer a bill payment service similar to one found on most checking accounts and even prepaid cards (including The Approved Card). For example, most prepaid cards will allow you to pay your utility bill even if your utility company does not accept card payments, but Amex does not have this feature yet.

Jan 12, 2012
Card Hub
When you are on a fixed income it is absolutely essential that you do not spend more than your monthly income and that you also get the best possible rewards in order to reduce the cost of your daily spending. As a result, if you trust yourself with a credit card you should apply for one of the best cash back cards: http://www.cardhub.com/best-cash-back-credit-card/ The Suze Orman Card is NOT a credit card and does not offer any rewards. Instead it should be used as a checking account alternative. Of course, if you already have a checking account that costs you less than $3-$5 per month then your checking account is a better alternative to Suze's Prepaid Card. The main difference between checking accounts and prepaid cards is that you do not get a checkbook with a prepaid card.… more

Daniel Bugno, they started as a cover-band, heavily
inspired by the Bay Area scene at that time. Combos like:
Sepultura, Pantera and Machine Head were very much
appreciated by the band, who made covers of their famous
songs. And it´s no secret that Sepultura had to contribute
with the name to the band. Erik Ljungqvist became the bands
first guitarist and soon after that L-G Jonasson (guitars)
and Jörgen "Seabass" Sjölander (troath) joined the band.

The (greyhound) adoption process continues: Betsy and Max meet Bobby
Los Angeles Times Entertainment Editor Betsy Sharkey is in the process of adopting a greyhound, Riley, at right, that used to race at the Caliente Racing Track in Tijuana. She will periodically post updates on his assimilation into her family here on L.A. Unleashed. Today she writes about meeting her first possible match, a greyhound named Bobby.
Seven nail-biting days after clearing all the hurdles to adopt a greyhound, the call finally came. Beverly of Greyhound Pets of America thought she'd found a possible match for me.
His name was Bobby, a big white boy with red patches, who had a reputation for loving puppies. Four years old, but still playful enough to take on my crazy 7-month-old English Setter, Max.
Bobby had been in a foster home since January, so would come with all the social graces -- understands basic commands, walks well on a leash, housebroken and used to the daily decorum of sharing indoor space with humans. Sounded ideal.
And so, with a growing sense of excitement (I was really going to do this...) and fear (would two dogs be too much to handle?), I headed out with Beverly, Pattie, another GPA volunteer, and Max to meet Bobby.
After an hour drive, most of it with me locked in an intense debate with Max over why he had been relegated to the back of the van, we were there.
Bobby was a beauty -- a sweet face making the classic greyhound smile, which I learned involves showing a lot of teeth. There were two other greyhounds in the home, so we took Bobby and Max out back for a kind of speed dating for dogs.

Paradise Tan expedites a hot, slow process with three levels of UV beds and two spray-tanning options along with a team of mobile airbrush artists ready to take their spray tans on the road. Five UV beds and booths boast sessions no longer than 15 minutes; the high-pressure Supersonic shortens the time to 7 minutes and the Sungate boasts special facial bulbs and shoulder tanners. Armed with Norvell solutions and a light touch that has brought them to weddings, beauty pageants, and body-building events, the airbrush technicians evenly coat limbs in a natural, golden color that develops in as little as 1 hour. A VersaSpa spray-tan booth spritzes a custom misting to let visitors emerge bearing a sun-kissed appearance without the gaudy hues of the sun's cut-rate lipstick. Lotions from Designer Skin and Ed Hardy speed the process by increasing circulation and moisture, and Tykini bikinis imported from Brazil reveal results. Evincing their dedication to vitamin D, the staff keeps the salon open every night until 10 p.m.
Nine locations all exhibit South Beach Tanning Company's signature funky decor: multi-colored chandeliers, intentionally warped mirrors, and festive neon walls. Amid these mod accents, clients can indulge in four levels of tanning beds, each equipped with extras such as built-in surround-sound speakers for relaxation during tanning. Those looking for a UV-free alternative can enter the VersaSpa sunless-tanning booth, where oscillating airbrushes coat bodies in a custom bronzing solution.
Boca Tanning Club salons bronze clients with the help of super tanning beds and booths, as well as UV-free VersaSpa spray-tanning booths. Clients walk past the painted vines, rocks, and rainforest-themed decor before stepping into the spray-tanning booths, which gild limbs in 60 seconds, or into a super bed, which caramelizes skin in less time than a traditional bed. In private rooms, technicians wielding airbrush systems custom shade and contour muscles while de-emphasizing vestigial tails.
Sunny Kisses Tanning Salon features UV tanning beds and booths, Mystic Tan spray-tanning booths, and airbrush tanning. An area staple for more than 20 years, the salon prides itself on its helpful staff. The crew can answer all of clients' questions and help them choose tanning methods that are right for them. With a large stock of lotions, accelerators, bronzers, and moisturizers on hand, Sunny Kisses is equipped to provide its clients with healthy, even tans.
The staff at Delray Tan Company & Spa keeps bodies bronzed with an array of tanning services. Their traditional UV beds range from Levels 1 to 5, aiding everyone from casual tanners to the most devoted color seekers in their quest for the perfect tan. The HD Mystic tanning booth use automated technology to spritz self-tanning formula on bodies from head to toe in five different colors to fit skin types. The shop's Fantasy airbrush tans, meanwhile, rely on a trained technician to apply an even glow that accentuates the client's best features and lasts 7–10 days.
Anticipating the arrival of a client he knows both by name and music preference, Glow Tanning Center co-owner Brandon Kemp strides down to the client's usual chamber and tunes its Pandora radio to her favorite tunes. Kemp also helps clients navigate the center's three levels of UV tanning by creating custom "game plans" and by unfurling a spool of thread to follow back to the front door. The plans combine the use of tanning lotions with a varying regime of visits to the center's high-pressure UWE beds and speedy upright booths that clients use in 10-minute increments.
In an adjacent room, co-owner Meg Dewall loads a color cartridge into her airbrush. Dewall has airbrushed the toned abs of fitness models and bodybuilders and the rippling upper lips of Elvis impersonators for a decade. Through years of creating quick, custom tans, she has come to rely on a bronzer from Norvell, a formula that eschews dyes because they can cause skin to look orange. The equipment is minimal, so she can also bring her monochrome art kit and a special tent to hotel rooms and private residences for tanning parties and convenient touchups.

Delve Fonts releases Oktal Mono, a new typeface by Joachim Müller-Lancé and Erik Adigard.
A monospaced type family composed of entirely mono-linear and modular structure, Oktal Mono first began in a design-philosophical discourse between Joachim Müller-Lancé and Erik Adigard of the design studio M-A-D in Sausalito, California. The typeface later came to life as a design experiment wherein a type designer (Joachim) and a graphic designer (Erik) collaborate each in their own capacity, from within their respective disciplines.

I'm kind of leery about handing that over to someone, even if they are supposed to be reputable, before they've signed anything.
It doesn't have to be a contract, but is there some kind of document that I can ask them to sign first, that will protect me?

I have have exceptional XHTML and CSS authoring skills, but when it comes to server side applications I lack the knowledge for utilizing the resources that my web server offers. Here is the basic rundown of what my web host offers: Apache web server I have worked with php for hanlding emails, but I used a basic script. It seems easy enough to learn, and I believe that if I can just get my new site started in that direction, I can learn "on the fly" the info necesarry for me to become efficient at utilizing php. My questions are, with the specifications I mentioned above, what do I need on my end to make a database style website a reality? I have read a bit about the subject, but just not sure what I am able to use based on my server capabilities. Do I need to download and install a product like MySQL? Also, I use Dreamweaver8, mainly just for utilizing the sitewide updating features that speed up my production. I do most all of the coding by hand because I choose to have a CSS based layout that is free of tables, and that also validates for the XHTML Transitional DocType. So, with that said, can anyone tell me where I should begin? Any and all recomendations will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, WillCode4Food

i was hurt on the job i messed up my rotor cuff and been out of work for eight months i was seen by four w/c doctors and even went to get a second opinion per w/c and all agreed i need surgery and it was job related asap it has been to long doing nothing, i also have not gotten any monies since the accident on 12/2011 for compensation i do have the paper mailed to me that state my claim for my shoulder was accepted. so after hearing on when will i know the decision. that same day?
The Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission does not issue decisions the same day as the hearing. Depending upon the Deputy Commissioner who heard the case, and depending upon the complexity of the issues being heard, it may take anywhere from weeks to months for a decision to be issued. Generally, I do not expect to see a decision sooner than 4 weeks after the hearing.
The nature of the injuries you describe are serious, please do not attempt to handle this matter on your own. If you have waited for more than 7 months to get paid, there is clearly a problem in the file that needs to have a lawyer at the very least look at it and give you some guideance. If you have been to an actual evidentiary hearing before a Deputy Commissioner, and at the conclusion of that hearing the evidentiary record was closed, then you would typically get a decision in writing about 4 - 5 weeks after the close of the record. It can vary by Deputy and vacation scheduleds etc. Regretfully, you do not get a decision that day from the bench,,,,it comes later in writing. This does not mean that you cannot treat for your condition while waiting for a decision.......go talk to a lawyer!! Many Virginia Lawyers who handle claimant's VA. Workers' Compensation Claims will provide you with a free initial consultation...use it. ALSO, please remember, Insurance Carrier provided "Nurse Case Managers" are NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, your friend....they are there because the insurance company is paying them to be there....consider that when having any contact with them.

You should immediately consult with an attorney who focuses on representation of Virginia WC claimants, and there are several in the RIchmond area.

Interesting article, and I would like to offer a comparison of sorts, related to China.
We have read and heard a great deal about the Chinese not respecting 'intellectual property rights', and superficially that may be true as Westerners see it, but there is something deeper here.
It is really only recently that China enacted copyright and patent legislation, and it's true this may not be adhered to as rigorously as the West (read US) would like. But the historical reasons are worth examining.
China is not an individualistic kind of society in the Western mold, where me, my rights, my freedoms, my xxxx are all that's important. China is very much a pluralistic society, and I doubt Westerners understand even dimly what that really means.
The inherent lack of the individualistic emphasis on everything, makes China by nature a kind of 'open-source' or 'public domain' kind of country.
Think about this: if you tell me a funny story and I then repeat it to someone else, you don't feel offended or cheated if I fail to give you credit as the source. It's public domain material. The same is true in class if you create an interesting little drawing or cartoon. If I like it, I copy and use it freely; it's public domain.
With the Chinese, much has always been this way. Any good idea seen anywhere, was fair game for adoption or enhancement, and for evolution and development.
In practice, that is far more efficient for a society as a whole in terms of overall development and progress. The more that a few people can hoard all the good ideas and hold them for ransom, the more slowly and imperfectly will all of society and industry progress.
The Western world is much more an individualistic society, based on conflict, on having clear winners and losers, focusing on ownership and rights, on exclusivity. And the capitalistic element enhances and skews all of this in the area of patents and copyrights.
The exaggerated push for ownership and personal profit is obvious. But here, as in many other areas, the West, and especially the US, goes too far. Once we take a step in a particular direction, we never seem to have the good sense to say, 'We will go this far, and no further.'
Consider free speech and the freedom of the press. Some years back, there was a celebrated court case in the US where a female reporter won a court judgment permitting her to enter a football team's locker room after the game, in order to interview all the naked male players. The court ruled she could not be excluded because that would be discrimiation. What a victory. What nonsense.
I believe the same is true with patents and copyrights, and again especially in the US where everything capitalistic and individualistic are exaggerated.
It was only when IBM went to an open-source concept with their PCs that the computer world really took off. That freedom to use and improve upon changed all of society in immeasurable degree.
I don't believe that IPR deserves to be protected as much as it is, but the danger is that it is really only the very large US corporations that have the combative attitude and financial and political muscle to enforce it. Change, therefore, would have to begin there.
Thomas Jefferson was clearly thinking about the individual inventor which he himself was. Realism requires that we note that he died in bankruptcy.
From there it all descends into chaos, distortion by corporate interests, entrenchment of lawyers' interests, and general absurdity. Chaos is clear from the article.
Distortion by corporate interests begins when most us who have not a shred of a chance of working independently, sign away all rights on the first day of any employment.
Another distortion by corporate interests but more so by lawyer interests is the underfunding of the patent office which undermines the chances of an individual to process a patent, and though there is still a small entity advantage on the fee schedule, that pales to nothing in comparison with the cost of legal services needed to process a patent. Since only corporate organizations can afford such services, this seriously disadvantages the individual inventor. Since in the big scheme of things, adequate funding would be hardly noticeable in the federal budget, one must suspect the corporate interests have had their way. The rules of patent prosecution seem ever tightening of the ability of examiners to actually assist individual inventors, as required by law, though some still manage to give substantial assistance.
It seems like it could possibly work out for individual inventors who have some leverage against corporate power.
But then we have the famous case of the intermittent windshield wiper operation. Maybe in ancient history when the wiper was powered by vacuum from the engine there was something substantive in the development of this apparatus, but in days of electric operation the innovation is unbelievably trivial. But as of last report, that was a win for the individual inventor. Obviousness seems to have been overlooked in that case.
As far as the utility test mentioned in the article, that seems to be not at all a quantitative test, rather it is just a distinction between things of no conceivable use and any other hairbrained silly thing. Had that test been somehow made meaningful it could have eliminated many of the business process patents that embarrassed the system.
And then there is the drug patent issue. Something is really wrong when the system can be so distorted that a Lipitor pill costs more than $4. And it is an important thing for many millions of people to take. Surely a great profit is appropriate, but this is incomprehensibly excessive.
And on top of everything there is the dopey little happy birthday song that is sung in restaurants at the peril of the owner because of the nearly infinite copyright term which Disney pushed through.
Yes, chaos is on top. Democracy is lost, and the US Supreme Court put the nail in the coffin by asserting the legalism that a corporation is a person with full rights of speech.
This article seems to be horribly wrong. At the beginning it seems as if the author is a sensible person who understands that MONOPOLY is bad . But at the end of the article he apparently suggests that 20-years-patents should be replaced with 70 YEARS LONG copyrights ?? What the hell ??
It seems one can reliable expect the 'economist' to NEVER support a real free-market position, instead they always want mercantilism. Maybe they should rename the magazine...
I agree that software patents are a pest, but I don't think that shoddy or frivolous software patents are the problem.
The interdependence of software causes patent holders to have a veto which is excessively powerful. If I want to write software to play videos, I have to write it to read videos in the format in which others have published videos. If someone has a patent on that format, that equates to having the power to prohibit me (and anyone else) from writing a functional video player. Even if there was only one software patent in the world, a dominant company could incorporate that one idea into their video format, and they get a veto on compatibility.
The only solution I see is to exclude software ideas from patentability. That would eliminate a massive bureaucratic overhead and many bottlenecks from software development.
Ciaran O'Riordan
The editorialist may knock the patent expertise of the Federal Circuit, but it is evident that his or her own knowledge of this area is limited. To begin with, one must also recognize that the U.S. Supreme Court has a much earlier nonsensical precedent in this field, Gottschalk v. Benson (1972). The Supreme Court's decision in Gottschalk v. Benson underlies much of the arcane circumlocution about "mathematical algorithms", "machines" and "transformations" that pervades this area of the law.
The editorial gives backhanded credit to the Federal Circuit for perhaps getting it right this time, in this very case! Indeed, the Federal Circuit decision here was a masterful balancing act, knocking out the most egregious pure business method patents without completely foreclosing patent protection for software, which can be as technologically innovative as any mechanical, chemical or biological invention. Yet -- as it had to -- the Federal Circuit ruling accommodated the Supreme Court's decision in Gottschalk v. Benson. While the Federal Circuit has gone astray in the past, this is one case where it acted carefully, and within the constraints put upon it by Supreme Court precedents.
Contrary to the suggestion in the editorial, copyright is simply not a workable substitute for patent protection in this field. As currently interpreted, copyright protection is far too narrow in scope to provide any commercially significant protection against acts other than straight piracy. If copyright were to be interpreted more broadly in order to fill the gap left by removing patent protection, it could become a far more technologically stifling monster than patents ever were. Just think for a minute about what the RIAA has done with copyrights (and think back, if you can remember it, to the brief heyday of "look-and-feel" copyright). Do not wish for an extension or resurgence of that!
Yes, patent examination is spotty, and many dubious patents continue to issue from the patent office. That is in great part due to the fact that the governmental process that examines and grants patents is woefully underfunded. The courts have very little direct power over that. Nor is funding the patent office an issue that politicians care much about. Until the crucial issue of funding is addressed, we will continue to get lousy patents and then, as a reaction, overly limiting court decisions that attempt to regulate the results after the patent grant.
For its part, the Supreme Court should realize, and clearly articulate, that it is not institutionally in a position to impose complete order in this area. It should then do the best it can in this ruling to balance the relevant interests. It could start by overruling its flawed Gottschalk v. Benson decision and freeing the controlling legal standard from the "algorithm", "machine" and "transformation" terminology of that case. It would then be free to adopt a more fitting standard, such as one based on promoting "the progress of ... the useful arts" (i.e., technological arts), in accordance with in Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution, which provides the basis for patent protection in the United States. This would affirm the result reached by the Federal Circuit (i.e., throwing out this pure, completely non-technological, business method patent), while providing a cleaner conceptual basis for evaluating patentability of the broader class of software and other process-based innovations.
you are right in that such an intricate algorithm takes more effort to come up with than a lot of the appliances that got patented, and that there should be some monetary benefit for its inventor.
The current use of software patents, however, focuses on stuff like a "progress bar". That is just ridiculous.
Unless software patents cease to be used for such trivial things, programmers with real innovation will have a hard time seeking protection for their intellectual property.
For the special example of the faster Fourier Transform algorithm, I guess you can write a software library a license that. I mean, my university pays lots of money to Intel for their compilers although there are free ones, pays money for mathematical software such as Mathematica or Matlab, although there are free alternatives and so on.

A spiffy new algorithm (the "faster Fourier transform") would be published in a peer-reviewed journal and its authors would be famous. Commerce and computing would flourish. But no cash would flow from this achievement, other than a fistful of job offers.
Is this right? Should this be corrected? Or not?
Patent regulation could be corrupted to affect biotech industries. Leave it as is , I don't want more "anti-trust" anarchy.
We should limit patents to a period of 3 years.
Three years should give any company enough head start to make good on their ideas.
Patents with a life beyond three years are simply trying t stop other companies or individuals from competing.
The idea that software can be patented has always struck me as ludicrous. It should be protected by copyright law (which in my opinion is far too generous in the decades it grants.) You can't take Windows, steal the code and rename it Doors. However, you should be able to write something that looks just like it (Windows vs. Mac OS anyone?) and then sell it as your own. If the law that applied to patenting software applied to novels, then anyone who writes a mystery or detective novel would have to pay the estate of Edgar Allen Poe a royalty as he created the genre.
Yes but - how much of a drag on innovation is the century or so of protection afforded by copyright? Apart from the injustice of copyright owners (often of course not the originators) having about 5 times the protection period of 'authors of innovation' the steady tendency of copyright law also to start picking apart works (like the recent Australian music decision) will be greatly enhanced by technology, and thus damage innovation even more. How many notes must one string together to get copyright over them? 3-4-5...?
And if we are to bring copyright and patent protection into line how many decades will it take?! (surely not the 80 years it would take to run out!).

Westin Complaint - Frustrated & Disappointed!!!
Review by
Comments (1)
HALIFAX -- My husband and I stayed at the Westin Nova Scotian while on a leisure trip to Halifax. We had declined parking in their lot because I refuse to pay almost $20 for unsecured, uncovered parking in a lot full of potholes for a few short hours.
One of the staff suggested that since we were not coming back to the hotel until later at night, we could park for free across the street as long as we put money in the meter by 8 am. I returned to the hotel shortly after midnight and parked my car. When I went to my car there was a parking ticket for $50 because of a winter ban. I knew nothing of a winter ban...I am not from Halifax!!! Obviously the staff member did not either unless she was making some kind of sarcastic joke!! When I complained at the front desk I was told to contact the manager (who was not in) and he would be able to help compensate us since we were misled by one of their own staff. After emailing the manager he basically called me a liar and offered me free parking on my next stay...Not to mention...our first morning there we were awoken to housekeeping's knock even though we had put a do not disturb sign out the night before...the sign was mysteriously missing...and the vending machine on the 3rd floor that took the only change I had on me...apparently it is out of order!!! We had minor problems at this hotel before, but we went back. Go there at your own risk!!

The person that told you about the parking probably really was unaware of the ban. But, I, too, would think they would know about this. Surely this would have happened to someone else trying to save some money on parking. In any event, I would have wanted them to pay the ticket too.
The way it went down, you could have saved $30 had you parked in their parking lot! Sad but true.

Children's Home of Detroit's Grosse Pointe Woods campus to close
Oct 31, 2008 | Posted by: roboblogger | Full story: Freep.com - RSS
Children's Home of Detroit will close its residential treatment program at its Grosse Pointe Woods' Cook Road campus effective Nov.
i was a resident of chidrens home of detroit i do not know where i'm going from here it hurt me to live
my friends are gone and i miss them all i was a resident but i was discharged to my home but i love all yall
are you still living there? is anyone doing anything to help you get placed?
The Childrens home is a much needed place and I am heartbroken to see that it is being closed. I have known many children from there in my youth. Is there anything that can be done to help the children that are there?
I am sad to tell you that no, there is nothing that can be done to assist the children that are still there, as the children have all been discharged. I wish each and every one of them the very best. I used to work there, and I enjoyed being there. Please keep these kids in your prayers, wherever they may have ended up. To those of you who used to live there, keep on keeping on and do good things with your life. You are missed and will not be forgotten.
I have long admired the work of Children's Home and it is very sad to see this beacon of hope close its doors.
The children in Wayne County have so many needs. Every resource we have should be going to support an organization that carries on the same belief in helping children. An organization like The Children's Center comes to mind.( www.thechildrenscenter.com ). They do not provide residential campus program but they provide residential in securing foster care homes and place children in them, the agency also provides adoption services and a semi-independent living program. They have 25 or more programs and provide the most array of programs to help kids and families within Wayne County. I hope that we can all agree we need to keep supporting important youth organizations - the needs continue. |
I lived there for a year when i was 8yrs old in boyer cottage.... I am now 27 with two boys of my own. when I think back on my life in those times. I am so thankful there were places such as this one to take me in otherwise I might not have been here today...and I feel really strongly about the mistakes that are being made closing the only hope that some of these children will ever know... ST Vincent Sara Fisher also a place I was a resident is closing down. Is there anything that we can do???????
i was a resident early 7o's removed from abused family receive love and freindship and guidance from the staff if it wasn't for the caring staff i may not be here today. and they helped my mother learn to be able to care for her children.they saved a family childrens home will always be in my heart,if anyone out there remember the camping trips, we were family
truly sorry to hear this there has to be money or donations to save this wonderful home michael firstname.lastname@example.com |
I remember my time at CHD with fondness. Building models in the day room, painting and playing with hot-wheels. Watching Laurel and Hardy on the real to real in the Gathering hall. Playing Kick the can on the Stone pile out back (is it still there?) Life was real weird for me then and they made me feel like I was at home. I had undergone some bizarre stuff at Fairlawn and CHD helped me realize life was not a cinderblock room.
It is hard to hear they are closing (have closed). It is a place I called home and will forever be indebted to for teaching me compassion and hope. E |
United States |
I'm glad it closed atleast the gross point location, the staff was abusive and would pick on kids they didn't like, I liked the lockdown unit in ferndale better than open campus
United States |
hello,im a former resident from the early 70's and it a shame that this wonderful place has com to an end.i was a child that went to schools consists of gangsters so i had to fight until they placed me in the chd and my life has changed for the good,the staff members bac then were real special and they helped me during the most difficult times in my life especially when i was separated from my mother.i stayed there for 5 yrs.and those years was really special for me.i went to motieth school there probably the first blac,but i had so much fun with those special group of people that ill never forget them.i remember staff members lik mr juede,ms beth,mr marshall,ms lucy and a host of others.also my friends lik mike millette,danny cox,johnson hamblett,chris kelly natt,edward,steve,leslie nostrant,and a host of others.i thank u guys so much for being a wonderful part in my life or i might not b here today.i hav 2 kids and i reside in ms.but if u guys wnt 2 share som thoughts just email me at email@example.com again and im truly sorry it had 2 close cause i wanted to visit that place once again someday.
United States |

i was a resedent back when i was 8 1994 i was ther all most 2 years and the entire time i was ther i got into fights with all the staff i went to the quite room 2-3 times a day they would beat on me all the time so i would fight back, i remeber this duck we hade and one day went to cheack on it and something ate it i remeber the big hill out back sleading was all wase fun in the wenter's
United States |

United States |
I was also a former resident there. In the time that I spend living in Founders cottage I can recollect some of the best times of my life in the mid to late 80s. I remember joining the boy scouts troop 93, playing pool in the main building, going to school at barnard center. One all of the most memorable times in my life was going to camp tanega. I remember sneaking out of one of the cottages late at night and took the row boat from the shore out to the middle of the lake and dropped anchor. The best part of it all was laying there in a row boat looking up at a night sky full of stars, stars that you don't see like that in the city. unfortunately I cannot find camp today got as I know it was never really called that. I do remember seeing a sign that read Camp medicia but have recently found that it is a diabetes camp group and not a permanent campground for them. can anyone remember the location of that campground was? Although even if I were able to find it I'm certain that it probably would have been cleared for progress by now but I would love to give it a shot.
I was also an old resident from CHD I liked there staff were great um I was first in Boyer then Bewick ended up going to Grosse Pointe North High School. I would like to remember Mrs. Lashauna Potts Mrs. Wendy Mrs. Stephanie Mr. Steve Mrs. Lynn there's many more I enjoyed it they were very helpful
United States |
Hi Samantha: I also remember Mrs Lynn Orlawski. She was married to Mr. Ron in Founders cottage. I have great memories of them both. : )
i stayed AT THE HOME IN 1962 it was a wonderful time for me met great friends.sorry to hear of its closing.they did a great job. but that was back in the 1960s.things change to bad.
Man I'm so sad it closed. I loved the stay there. Ms zazl ms Yolanda.( sorry my spelling sucks. ) but those were a few of the star cabin that helped me grow up and ms zazl would always braid my hair. I loved the motherly aproch they had. They are the reason I got in to cosmetology
I wasa residentat at chd in grosse point. I lived in chulkens cottage for a year in 1993 - 1994. I liked the staff Mr,Pat Mr.Bruce Ms.Ann and Mr.Chris they were nice and everthing. Sucks that it's closeing down. We all know who to blame for that. The govener of michigan....

Ras Kass is finally free from Capitol
Via press release late yesterday it was made official to the world: Ras Kass is finally off Capitol Records. After signing to Priority Records (a division of EMI/Capitol) roughly a dozen years ago, the Waterproof West Coast lyricist is now legally free to seek out a new record deal with a new label, which his management team Asti Management (Styles P, DJ Kid Capri) is anxious to begin shopping for.
"I am just relieved and thankful to my management team, my attorney Nyanza Shaw, OGPR and all of the music press that showed me love and support these past few years. Now I am anxious to finally be able to pursue my passion, spread my wings and remind the world why Ras Kass is one of the greatest MC's of all time; dead or alive!" says Ras.
Nearly three-and-a-half years since Ras filed a lawsuit against Capitol, claiming among other things breach of conflict and intentional infliction of emotional distress on the part of the label, he has procured the release from his contract that he has been seeking for nearly 5 years.
While the means by which Ras was finally able to obtain his recording freedom from Capitol were not disclosed in the press release, it has become common knowledge within the hip-hop community that following his two official releases via Priority Records, 1996s Soul On Ice and 1998s Rasassination (along with two more recorded but never formally released albums, 2001s Van Gogh and 2002s Goldyn Chyld), the Carson, California native publicly sought a release from the label.
Unfortunately, in the midst of his public declaration of freedom from Priority Ras was arrested and jailed for roughly a year-and-a-half. Since his release in December 2004 he has released 3 unofficial mixtape/street albums: Institutionalized Vol. 1, Revenge Of The Spit, and Eat Or Die.
Thankfully for Ras Kass faithful fans their favorite Conceited Bastard should no longer be relegated to underground releases and can now potentially resume his major-label recording career.
For those who may unfortunately still be unfamiliar with his laser-sharp lyricism, be sure to check out Ras Kass on the Cypher Segment of this year's BET Hip Hop Awards when they air on the network Wednesday, October 17, 2007.

U Ain't Gonna Take My Life gets avg. rating
out of 10
based on 3 ratings. Rate the song now!!!
Mr. Dirty Harry, you look really scary
With your .357, officer Kevin
Spent 11 years on the force trying to get mine
Head got the flat top, boots got the spit shine
Don't give a **** about my neighborhood
Just wanna do your eight hours, then hit the showers
Shoot a brother down adn you don't send flowers
Goddamn sherrif, can't wait to tarriff
A chunk of a ***** ***, but watch a ***** blast
And get away ***** fast
You ain't gonna have me face down no more
You ain't gonna have a chance to clown no more
To the boys in blue, I got kids too
Ain't going out like a jigaboo, no no no
On my way to the store
You see me in a Range Rover, now you gotta pull me over
But where oh where is the ticket?
You got your hand on your gun cause you're wicked
You don't like the face of the original man
But you gotta treat me like an individual man
Talk right and I'll talk right back
Show some goddamn respect to the black
Cause I gotta get back to my wife
But I'm sorry, you ain't gonna take my life
Just because you got a badge
Did you think Ice Cube was gonna wave the white flag?
Cracker please, you can yell freeze
I'd rather die standing up than die on my knees
You think you can do anything you want to do
To my crew when you come through, man **** you
Shooting up South Central
Catch your *** slipping at a rent show
Could have popped you off, one dead cop
But I know you got a wife and a dog named Spot
I show a little mercy cause I'm civilized
Looking through a *****'s eyes at a much bigger prize
But when I saw Rodney it got me so hot
Made me wanna go out and pop me a cop
Cause every time you see me sagging
Here comes the Grand Dragon, in the **********ing patty wagon
Try to play me like a trick
Sometimes you act like a ****, Mr. Nightstick
Back then, I used to throw my Mack-10
But nowadays you got the black skin
Back then you don't like the voice of a ***** named Ice
But you ain't gonna take my life
You man let's get an understanding
I know that your job is demanding
But I only got me one life to live
You only got about six shots to give
And I got a big AK with a 50-round clip
So why should we trip?
You ain't gonna punk me, so what you trying for?
Ain't no job worth dying for, is it?
Might pay a visit to Petey Wheatstraw
When you stop me on the shore, officer of the law
And if I did something wrong, you can lock me up
Never never never gonna sock me up
So next time you have the urge, all of the sudden
To **** with a ***** for nothing
Think about me, a brother that's 23
I got a son and a J-O-B
So before you pull your gun, you'd better think twice
Pig, cause you ain't gonna take my life
