Patent Renewals and R&D Incentives
AbstractIn a model with moral hazard and assymmetric information, we show that it can be welfare-improving to differentiate patent lives when firms have different R&D productivities. A uniform patent life provides excessive R&D incentive to low-productivity firms, and too little to high ones. The optimally differentiated patent scheme can be implemented through a menu of patent lives (or renewals) and associated fees. We characterize the optimal mechanism, and use simulation analysis to compare it with existing patent renewal systems and to illustrate the potential welfare gains from the optimal policy.

The Leppa Family of Kingston, Part 3
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 0
'Along the Way' by William E. Leppa, written in 1975
There was a Methodist church right across the road from us and a traveling minister used to visit once a month and stay a few days and preach and teach Sunday School. I used to go there, although I did not belong to it. We belonged to the Lutheran Church and I went to Sunday School there, so I got a double dose of Sunday School.
There is a very interesting thing I can remember about those meetings at the Methodist Church. There was an old neighbor, Mr. Keetch, that used to sit on a short bench by the stove, kind of facing us kids, and he used to try and scare us kids by moving his false teeth around in his mouth and between his lips. They must have been a loose fit; anyway, it looked scary. I wonder how they expected us to pay attention to the preacher with Mr. Keetch making faces at us. The church was later torn down and a new creamery built on the site.
Our house stood on a small hill about three rods from the road and our small barn was close to the road, right where Iver Peterson's store is now. On the corner to the south stood Kit Oatman's fine house. He was the blacksmith. East of the corner about 1,000 feet was the cooperative store where Pa worked.
The street was quite wide so in the evenings the young men used to bat a baseball around, hitting fly balls to each other. At about the age of seven or eight, I was allowed to stay by the batter and slow down the balls as they were returned to the batter. Of course, I had only my bare hands, which was not so good. Now, here is the part I remember so well. Henry Becklund, the manager of the store at that time, gave me a small catcher's mitt. The price of the mitt was 25 cents. That was back in about 1903 or 1904, and the mitt was made from pretty good leather. We had that mitt in the family many years.
Soon after that, Father quit the cooperative store and went to work at Murphy's store on the south side of the river. The Murphy store was owned by two brothers, Timothy and William. William had several sons. One by the name of James was a couple of years older than me, so we finally started to trap muskrats and mink and skunks together, so we had a few dollars every fall. When James went off to high school in Dassel, his younger brother Francis and I trapped together until we moved to the farm.
The Murphy's store building was quite a building. It stood about 500 feet south of the bridge and right east of one end of the old dam. It was two stories high, and Timothy and family lived upstairs. It also had gas lights. The gas was made in their own generator. One of Pa's jobs was to fill in the carbide tank with carbide and water and haul the old slush out back of the building.
There was a feed mill between Murphy's store and the bridge where the old flour mill had been located. Uncle Charlie Leppa owned the feed mill and also the Murphy house. After we moved to the farm, that's where we had our feed ground until we moved to North Kingston. There we bought a tractor and started to grind our own feed.
That bridge that I talked about was a wooden bridge on pilings built in 1861. It was torn down while we were there and a new steel bridge was built in 1903. When the bridge was completed, the contractor guaranteed it to hold up under so many tons dead weight. To demonstrate how good it was, I can remember watching with everybody else in town as they drove three steam engines on it together. That bridge still stands in 1975. (Note: The steel bridge was replaced in 1977.)
Another thing I remember about Murphy's store was that they sold ready-made clothing. My eighth-grade year I was selected for a speaking contest, and we eventually went to Dassel to compete with the Dassel kids. My teacher at that time was Nora Murphy, a sister to the owners of the store. Nora Murphy thought I should be wearing better clothes than I had, so she took me down to the store and they put a new suit of clothes on me for the occasion. I don't know whether the clothes did it or what, but I won.
When I graduated from the eighth grade, we had a graduation night. Nora Murphy took me to her brother's store again, and put a new suit on me, which I had to give back when it was over, same as the other time. That was in 1908, and we had already moved to the farm that we now call the Gust Isaacson farm.
Another thing about that night was that Pa told me not to let Nora Murphy put a tie on me. That would have been a big sin, so I did not wear a tie to my graduation. That's how things were at our house in those days. But here's the strange thing about what came to pass. Twenty years later, when Pa came to be the manager of the Farmers Cooperative Elevator in Kimball, he had to go on business deals to Minneapolis. He asked me to put a tie on him as he did not know how to tie one. You see he had never had any practice with ties and never used one except on business occations.
To be continued ...

There have been more expressions of appreciation from those who receive the gift of new or renewed membership in this historical society, than ever before. Perhaps you have also run out of ideas that don't break your bank account, as Christmas gift time is just around the corner. Had you thought of that? January is our annual membership month, so the timing couldn't be more perfect! And if that doesn't get your attention, consider one of several other "gifts from the heart" that include numerous keepsake gifts of the Kimball area heritage and history. We call it "wallet friendly" shopping and includes gift certificates as small as $2 for Kimball's 2011 Quasquicentennial assortment of the four railroad postcards, remembrances of Kimball's earliest beginnings.
What a special contribution these stories and photos are from the Leppa Family history, and if you're enjoying them, we'd love to hear from you.

Leicestershire singer says it's an 'honour' to represent the UK at Eurovision
Molly Smitten-Downes from Rothley in Leicestershire could sing before an audience of 120 million people during the Eurovision Song Contest in May.
She is a relatively unknown artist compared to some previous performers: last year Bonnie Tyler came 19th and Engelbert Humperdinck was 25th out of 26 acts in 2012.
Molly said: "I'm so excited for everyone to hear Children of The Universe. I'm so happy with it.
To represent the United Kingdom in such a huge competition, not only as a singer and performer but as a songwriter is an unbelievable honour. I hope I can do us proud."

Archive for 'Holli'
We loved shooting Rachels bridal session in a few random locations this spring. Oklahoma is lacking in the bridal location department and you have to get creative to find spots that are unique. A few years ago we had a beautiful field of redbuds that we shot sessions in all of the time. They have since been cut and sold so we were on the lookout for some more. I drove around a found a few and loved how Rachels bridals turned out by driving around and finding a few new bridal locations.
I love my brides. But seriously, I do. I think one of the most fun things about my job is seeing how each and every one of our brides make their weddings truly and uniquely "them" … from the venue to the flowers to all of the details that surround the event. Its not an easy task making your wedding feel like you but when brides do it and do it well it is so fun to see it come together!
Amanda has such fun vintage style. Her wedding ring is an antique. Her favorite thing is to shop at antique stores. The Sand Plum was the PERFECT venue for her! We loved seeing all the things she did to make it come together.
The day started perfectly at Brendans family farm in Guthrie, Oklahoma. The plan was to do all of the photos in the pretty fields and farm around that area. The rain made that plan disappear but Amanda was TOTALLY cool with changing it at the last minute. We left the farm and headed to the wedding venue in Guthrie and dodged the rain for just a bit to get their photos in the streets of downtown Guthrie.

Greg and Lauren are getting married this fall! We are so excited to celebrate their lovely Gaillardia wedding!
We had almost a full week of perfect weather in July last week. For Oklahoma summers… that is unheard of. While we were enjoying 70 degree temperatures last week we are back close to 100 degrees this week. Several of our brides have asked about some indoor bridal options for their bridal sessions coming up in late summer. While shooting a bride in a field of sunshine will ALWAYS be our style and favorite look some brides decide they would rather do them indoors because of heat or they just love the look of certain indoor options.
We photographed Taylors bridal session last year around this time. Both of her sisters used the Oklahoma Capitol for their bridal session and she wanted to do the same. The oklahoma city capitol is one indoor option for shooting bridals that has both indoor and outdoor shooting options. There are pros and cons of shooting here but we wanted to show a session from here to give our brides some options! Let us know if you have any questions about shooting sessions at the capitol. Taylor, you were a beautiful bride and we hope this past year of marriage has been so fun for you guys!
We have had a few emails from our current brides asking what our favorite "send off" ideas are so I thought I would put a quick blog post up explaining some different options! We have seen a lot of different things but the majority of weddings here in Oklahoma use either sparklers or rose petals. We are starting to see a new trend of a send-off after the ceremony when all of your guests are still there instead of at the very end of the night when only a few family and friends are left. We absolutely LOVE this idea for a couple of reasons. ONE… there are WAY more people there to throw or hold the things that you will be running thru. TWO- a lot of times it is still light outside and you can still see all of the people in line and we dont have to light up the exit with flash. We have a couple of different things that we have seen at receptions that we will talk more about below…
Brad and Katie were married 4 years ago and they had a send off right as they were walking down the aisle. They had cute little flower petal holders hanging on the end of each aisle and I love the color and celebration that showed in their images from the aisle exit.
Confetti is another fun option. Guests thru colored paper confetti at Rachel and Evans wedding a few years ago. I love the different sizes of paper.
Glow sticks are fun but in my opinion they dont photograph all that well for the actual send off. When its dark I love the colors they put off (see below) but when you are running thru the lines we have to use flash to be able to see your faces and they look like sticks being held.
This fun crowd decided to throw the colored glow sticks instead of hold them and it actually looked a lot better! Glad these guests got crazy ;)
This is some sort of eco-fetti that Lauren and Cody used as their send off. It had a different texture than I have seen and was a fun send off idea! Kristin and Matt, and Brittany and Rob used confetti as well!
Certain venues that have restrictions require to use something that doesnt involve fire or that they have to pick up. Quite a few of our brides have used these types of ribbon wands that you can make yourself or find on Etsy.
We even have had one bride and groom almost 7 years ago use placebo pills because they were both pharmacists… how fun is that?
Sparklers are the most popular option for late evening send offs…
I found this funny pic in the archives as I was searching for sparkler send offs… how funny is this little guy?!?!
Our bride Aija used balloons and rose petals for her send off… we loved this idea! I have seen balloons a handful of times at one of my weddings and think they are really fun for a send off post ceremony when its still light outside!
Bubbles are also still a popular option….
But sometimes when it is really windy you cant see them… thanks to the lovely Oklahoma wind ;(
Pom poms are a new trend that I havent seen all that often but think they are fun!
Chinese lanterns have made their way to Oklahoma wedding receptions… they are a fun way to end your evening.
We hope this gives you some insight on reception send off ideas! As always, feel free to email us if you have any questions or thoughts on what to use for your own wedding! We love to help!

Review: LCD Soundsystem This Is Happening
Maybe it's a function of getting older, maybe it's because This Is Happening was partially recorded in sunny Los Angeles, but it appears that James Murphy has lost some of his affinity for the dancefloor. That's not to say that the third—and supposedly final—LCD Soundsystem album doesn't have its uptempo moments or occasionally pilfer from disco's rich sound palette. Read more »

Acadian Ambulance, an emergency and non-emergency medical transportation provider to Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, is now implementing an annual EMT boot camp as part of their commitment to safety.
The company's service area districts hold quarterly staff meetings to review the latest operational changes and advancements, receive updates on procedures and policies, and learn from various guest speakers about different aspects of the industry. Now, one of those four meetings per year will be devoted to a safety boot camp, which will allow medics to also receive hands-on skills refresher training, classroom instruction, annual vaccinations and respirator fit testing, and to have their equipment audited.
The boot camp will provide refreshers of routine procedures by having the medics rotate through different stations where they perform required tasks, including patient handling with different devices, ambulance driving and maneuvering, proper use of personal protective equipment, and more. After the hands-on skill sessions, medics will attend a keynote lecture to reacquaint themselves with the different safety equipment and rules.
Jerry Romero, Acadian's senior vice president of operations, says, "These boot camps are a great opportunity for our medics to practice the fundamentals while safely performing a variety of procedures, and are another instance in which we are promoting a culture of safety in every possible way that we can."
Since 1971, Acadian has been committed to providing the highest level of emergency medical care and transportation possible. In the past decade, the company has expanded to include a diverse suite of services in health, safety, and transportation. Acadian's six divisions are Acadian Ambulance Service, Acadian Monitoring Services, Air Med, Executive Aircraft Charter Service, National EMS Academy and Safety Management Systems.

Facelock: Newly Proposed Authentication System That Uses Face Recognition
June 25, 2014 Internet
Simple passwords are easy to remember but easy to crack; complex passwords are hard to crack but hard to remember. So what if you can have an authentication system that others cannot crack and you do not forget?
That can be a possible as researchers have claimed that "Facelock", a newly proposed alternative based on the psychology of face recognition, could put an end to forgotten passwords and protect users from prying eyes.
The concept relies on the fact that humans can recognize familiar face...Read More

Presidential Aide Freed, Reports Say, as Top Iranian Politicians Trade AccusationsFebruary 7, 2013 6:00 PM
Share with others:
TEHRAN -- As President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad escalated a bitter political fight this week with Iran's most influential political family by disclosing secret film recordings of what he said were fraudulent business deals, Iran's political maneuvering took a new turn on Wednesday when an imprisoned associate of Mr. Ahmadinejad was reported to have been freed.
The release of Saeed Mortazavi, reported by two Iranian news agencies, came as the latest chapter in several days of political drama playing out with unusual prominence in the public eye.
During a Sunday session of Parliament, broadcast on state radio, Mr. Ahmadinejad singled out the head of the Parliament, Ali Larijani, a political rival with strong links to influential Shiite Muslim clerics and one of several brothers who have held top positions in the Iranian government.
His younger brother Sadegh, 52, heads Iran's judiciary, while his oldest brother, Mohammad Javad, a Berkeley-educated mathematician, is also a judiciary official.
On Monday, a conservative newspaper, Kayhan, hinted that the nation's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been forced to step in to prevent both men from giving potentially damaging news conferences, which were both canceled at the last minute.
This was not the first time Ayatollah Khamenei has been forced to intervene in this feud. In October, he issued an edict aimed at stopping the infighting, saying that those creating divisions before the June 14 presidential elections "betray" the country.
Mr. Ahmadinejad, who went to the Parliament in a failed effort to head off the impeachment of his labor minister, Abdolreza Sheikholeslami, said Mr. Larijani and his fellow lawmakers had obstructed the government, stepped beyond their constitutional boundaries and written letters ordering the annulment of government decisions.
Instructed by Mr. Larijani to stick to the subject of the impeachment, Mr. Ahmadinejad said, "Don't order me to close my mouth because you say it's the law."
With that, Mr. Ahmadinejad, who for years has threatened to reveal the names of corrupt officials, played a video clip of a conversation in which another of Mr. Larijani's brothers, Fazel, appeared to discuss the purchase of a state company under favorable terms, the semiofficial Tabnak Web site reported. While Fazel Larijani used to head a medical association in Iran, his current position is unclear.
The public accusation, rare in Iran, could signal a new phase in an already intense conflict between Mr. Ahmadinejad, who represents a powerful group of young, ambitious politicians, and Mr. Larijani, who is the official representative of the holy city of Qum, the center of Shiite scholarship in Iran.
Mr. Ahmadinejad said his associate, Mr. Mortazavi, 45, was also at the taped meeting. In January, Mr. Mortazavi was dismissed as the head of Iran's enormous social welfare organization under pressure from Parliament. Some days later, however, he was rehired by the president in the same position, this time as official caretaker.
During the conversation, read out in part by Mr. Ahmadinejad to astonished lawmakers, Fazel Larijani appears to try to use his family connections to buy a factory from the social welfare organization. He promises leniency for Mr. Mortazavi, the former Tehran prosecutor who faces several criminal proceedings over accusations that he played a role in the deaths of three protesters in a substandard prison in 2009.
Mr. Mortazavi was arrested Monday evening, the Fars news agency reported, though no reason was given. But, in a new turn to what is likely to be a protracted saga, he was freed on Wednesday, news reports quoted Iranian media as saying. The terms of his release were unclear.
In Parliament on Sunday, the Iranian Students' News Agency said, Mr. Ahmadinejad declared: "These are audio and video, and the tape is clear."
He added: "If the honorable Parliament speaker sees fit, we can turn over the 24 to 25 hours to you," he said of the recordings. On Monday, Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency, a mouthpiece for Mr. Ahmadinejad, deepened the split by publishing the audiotape on its Web site.
Ali Larijani, cheered on by the Parliament, which has lost nearly every serious political battle with the president, silenced the room, saying: "Let him tell his words. If there is anything about my family, then let him talk about it."
Mr. Larijani called the video a "mafia film" and recalled how he had a meeting with Mr. Ahmadinejad's estranged brother, Davoud. "He said many things against you," Mr. Larijani told the president, "about economic corruption, about your inner circle and your relations with foreign countries."
For his part, Fazel Larijani strongly denied any wrongdoing, saying that while he did appear in the clip, the words were not his, but rather had been added in a voice-over. Calling Mr. Ahmadinejad and Mr. Mortazavi "mafialike individuals," he said he would sue them both for "spreading lies and disturbing public opinion."
On Monday, several officials criticized Mr. Ahmadinejad and Ali Larijani, accusing them of lacking self-control and bringing shame on the country. "They broke the leader's heart and gave the friends of the Islamic republic almost a seizure," said Mojtaba Zolnour, a special consultant to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, the semiofficial Iranian Labor News Agency reported. "They provided ammunition for the foreign media on the eve of our election."

ENP Newswire -
Release date- 11062014 - Digital Disruption - Opportunities for Innovation and Growth.
Sarv Girn
Chief Information Officer
Speech to the Committee for Economic Development of
Digital Disruption, it is an opportunity of a lifetime, but on the other hand it is also littered with risks. If you are an executive of a business or a director on a board then the challenge is to determine if the right balance has been achieved in these extremes.
The biggest risk of all however is to not do anything at all - ignoring the waves of digital disruption in business and society has led to extinction for many. You only have to look at the likes of
If as an executive in a business you walk away from this event without any actions of your own in digital disruption then that will be a failure.
Digital disruption brings many opportunities for innovation and productivity outputs. Over the next 15 minutes I will cover three key areas:
First, a brief definition of digital disruption and how it's different from continuous improvement;
Second, the opportunity around us in the digital environment; and
Finally, how to deal with disruption as an executive or board member.
I would hope from this you will get a very good feeling of why your organisation should act to harness the many growth opportunities around us by building digital innovation into the goals and DNA of your organisation.
Digital Disruption Defined
Let's first start with the definition of digital 'disruption'. The word 'disruption' is very interesting. I'm not sure when and how the meaning took a twist from what I think many of us would have understood this to be when we were kids. When I was at school, often, and I would probably say very often, the teacher would say 'stop being disruptive', 'you are a disruptive child'. Of course that was never said to me, and if I look at each of you in the audience I don't think you were disruptive either. We were all very well behaved!
So when did we start to use the term disruption with innovation and change? Has anybody heard of a person named
The introduction of digital disruption offers a fundamentally better alternative (to the present approach) for solving a customer problem, in a cheaper, quicker and more convenient manner with technology playing a key enabling role. It is not evolutionary change, but radical in the way it changes businesses and societies. Think about online broking disrupting the stockbroker business - clearly the likes of CommSec in the 1990s led the disruption in this country. Think about the iTunes eco-system, disrupting not just the music industry, but the software development industry through apps across a range of Apple devices. Think about more recently the pizza business - what could be so disruptive in that? Domino Pizza openly declares that technology and innovation is very important to them. Have a look at their case study,
When we use the word disruption in context of 'digital disruption', then it's about innovating to break the ranks of status quo, it redefines the norm, and changes the markets and competitors around us. This comes through a relentless focus on the customer and offering new business models and new ways of applying technology. Some of this disruption is clearly a very positive change for society, business and economies. But if you are the firm being disrupted by others then I am not sure that it is that positive at all - you just have to look at the likes of
As you look at the many success stories, and how their approach has differed from ongoing continuous improvement, then you will see very quickly that the opportunities for innovation and growth are there. So what are the opportunities in the landscape around us?
Digital Opportunity
As we look around the business environment it's clear that the velocity of change we experience as a consequence of digital technology is unprecedented and in most cases unpredictable. There have been many waves of change and the frequency of this is only growing.
Across the last three decades we have seen mainframes disrupted by minicomputers, which in turn were disrupted by PCs. Then the Internet brought a completely new paradigm, followed by mobile technology being launched at a rapid rate into the market. We now see wearable technology and 3D printing knocking on the door to introduce another wave of change in health, manufacturing and no doubt many other industry sectors.
This innovation has primarily been led by the technology sector initially, followed by an insatiable demand from businesses and society. This constant cycle of innovation and consumption has allowed the technology sector to grow dramatically in the last 20 years. The growth compared with other sectors has been nothing short of amazing. If you look at this graph of S&P 500 Sector Weightings over the last 15 years, the technology sector has been consistently 15-20 per cent of the index and over the last five years it has actually been larger than the banking and finance sector.

Another aspect to consider in our environment is the extent of patents lodged by various sectors over the years. Whilst this is not a direct indicator of innovation and disruption, it does demonstrate the activity arising from research and development efforts, and can act as a good lead indicator of potential future disruption from that sector. When we look at this Graph of 'Global Patent Grants by Sector' we see that the computer technology sector has been growing at a year-on-year rate of 14 per cent over the last 10 years.

If we look at related sectors such as electrical, digital and telecommunications, you can see the full scale of digital innovation. Compare this against an area such as medical, which has also innovated in this period, however it has been dwarfed by the technology sector.
Looking a bit further at these global patents, a question of geography arises. Where are these patents all coming from? You may be expecting something along the lines of

Some of you representing service and product organisations may think of this as a sales opportunity. But be warned, those additional people on the internet will not just be buying, but also selling themselves, and disrupting markets globally. Has anyone heard of a business called
So in terms of the digital environment,
Dealing with Disruption
As an executive the way you deal with digital disruption is more critical now than ever before; do you see it as a risky threat or an innovation opportunity, and what questions must you ask to ensure you don't become extinct? Surviving with a status quo mindset may not be enough when challenger business models are thriving in this digital age.
When we look at some of the lessons of the past, then three golden rules stand out as being key questions executives and directors need to deal with.
First, a conscious and clear business strategy on whether you will be a leader of change and disrupt business models, a fast follower that adopts innovation from others, or will maintain a religious focus on incremental continuous improvement to drive safe reliable services with a low appetite for risk. There is no right or wrong here, but what is important is a conscious decision on your digital direction. In this day and age getting the strategy for digital innovation agreed upfront is as important as the risk appetite statement you may traditionally see in the boardroom.
The second golden rule is to create a culture that fosters innovation in your organisation. A clear learning from the past has been that firms with strong governance and risk practices are unlikely to disrupt given their natural strength in always looking at a strict Return on Investment (ROI) in a time period. Innovation, particularly the disruptive type, requires a culture of experimentation, a funding model that allows testing and learning, and an approach which 'fast fails' projects if they do not show signs of success. This culture needs to be created in well run risk averse organisations. So dealing with this challenge is key. Do you create a separate challenger subsidiary at the edge of your firm? Do you adapt your funding model to encourage experimentation? Or do you allow more freedom to test and learn within certain thresholds? And how do you deal with innovation that may eat into your current products? Some of the disrupted ignored this last one and locked away their innovation for fear of losing their traditional products. Unfortunately others catch up and then overtake. All these questions are ones many of the leaders have answered explicitly in the past to succeed.
The third golden rule relates to collaboration. Digital disruption and innovation requires partnerships with the leaders, particularly the technology firms and those in the supply chain. Who you work with matters more than who you work for in this space. In this the questions to ask include the extent of research and development (R&D) with appropriate universities, the relationships with upstream and downstream partners to ensure you horizontally and vertically integrate, and whether the right operating environment, or ecosystem, has been created for stakeholders to interact and innovate even further.
When you look at the leaders in digital disruption, then the signs of them applying these golden rules are clearly there. Apple, with its drive to disrupt with new products to change lives, has a culture of strong R&D, it built partnerships with the telecommunications companies in order to launch the first iPhone, and in created an iTunes ecosystem for music, apps and now radio.
But not all firms are like these technology leaders. Choosing how to deal with disruption in context of your industry is important, whether you're a bank, law firm, small business or a government entity.
Are there any applications for digital disruptive for central banks? Certainly there is, we too have to deal with disruption and need to respond in a way that promotes a stable environment but one that still allows innovation to occur.
So for example, in the Bank we have chosen to apply the innovation brought by the global technology leaders to our practices. A
What is clear when dealing with disruption is that the approach has to be built into the goals of the organisation and embedded into the DNA of the organisation, especially the culture which can lead to the adoption or shelving of new ideas.
So in closing, disruption is happening all around us, there are many opportunities for us, and it is possible to deal with disruption. If you do want to harness the growth potential then observing and learning from the patterns of the leaders is vital. Building digital disruption plans into the corporate conversation and embedding it into the goals and cultural DNA of your firm is fundamental.

Reality Marketing: Integrating Customer DataAugust 13, 2012 | Chris Wright
Marketers have plenty of good intentions when it comes to their desire to have a common view of the customer. Our IBM State of Marketing Survey 2012 in fact showed that 85 percent of marketers would like an integrated marketing suite to gain a better line of sight on their campaigns and customers.
But sometimes good intentions hit the rocky shores of reality. And this is what we found in our survey, with many respondents saying that disparate systems and budget constraints were challenges to accessing, managing, and analyzing data across channels.
Speaking of reality. Akin Arikan, EMM product marketing manager, and I had our own heavy dose of reality this past Thursday during the Q&A of our Webinar, Do You Compare? Insights from IBM's Annual Global Survey of Marketers: Bringing Together Digital and Cross-channel Marketing.

Your Ship Has Come In: Solving the global transportation challenge in the cloudMarch 9, 2012 | Smarter Commerce
Today's global economic climate seems like a perfect storm of uncertainty. The business of global logistics and transportation is continuing to meet wave after wave of challenges. For this reason, clients are looking for a smarter commerce approach that will enable them to transform their supply chain operations into agile networks that do more than sense-and-respond but predict-and-act. These organizations are turning to cloud-based transportation management as a way to navigate the rough seas of complex regulations and security—as well as the ever-shifting economic tides.
Most global organizations are more focused on getting things from point A to point B instead of taking a systematic approach to the supply chain and implementing new technologies to build value across the entire organization. But, increasing complexity means that companies must do more than just keep up with timely transport. They need to gain visibility into any exception that can affect a shipment.
Cloud–based transportation management systems (TMS) can provide a complete picture of every link in the supply chain. By breaking down paper-based processing barriers and teaming up with transportation optimization in a systematic process, supply chain organizations have the ability to bring additional value to the process — while managing the volatility.

The creation of a full-text searchable book database is a ''quintessentially transformative use'' of a copyrighted work, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled yesterday, and therefore it is lawful to copy and store the books electronically without the permission of the authors and publishers.
ACE submitted a brief last year in the case Authors Guild v. HathiTrust Digital Library, in which the Authors Guild charged that the HathiTrust digital repository was violating copyright by making some of its members' work freely available.
HathiTrust is a partnership of 80 major research institutions and libraries that have collaborated to digitize their collections to build a comprehensive online archive.
In addition to creating an unprecedented resource for scholarly research, one of the goals is to enable the digital archive to be accessible to persons with print disabilities. The university libraries (University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin System, Indiana University, University of California and Cornell University (NY) are the HathiTrust institutions involved) have digitized their collections for preservation, searching and use by the visually impaired.
The appeals court decision also addressed this aspect of the HathiTrust archive, ruling that it is permissible to distribute the books in alternative forms to people with disabilities.
The consensus of higher education copyright experts is that this case is crucial for the future of distance learning and the digital age in education. According to ACE General Counsel Ada Meloy, a reversal would have been a serious defeat for the doctrine of fair use and the advancement of technology in higher education.
