The Korean Car Industry's First Time Battle on its Home Turf
This past week GM Korea announced that sales of its Chevrolet brand automobiles have risen 27 percent year-over-year in the past six months. As FTA's are being inked with auto producing nations, Chevy's sudden rise in sales signals the dawn of a new era for the automobile industry here. It will be interesting to watch how Korean car makers, cozy in their long protected market, react to competition on home turf.
Looking back on the country's fifty-six years making cars raises an interesting question: Would the industry have seen a more rapid rise to its high rank on the global market if the heavily-guarded domestic market was open to foreign competition earlier? By extension, would Korean consumers in the eighties and nineties been availed to a higher quality product sooner?
The first Korean car came off the assembly line here in 1955. Not that it was much of a line –or much of a car. Yet, the "Shibal Taxi", as it was known, put together entirely from odds and ends, including sheet metal from oil drums and leftover U.S. Army parts, hit the road in all the glory it could muster.
The "Shibal Taxi" (????). Be careful saying 'shibal', it is also Korean profanity.
From that humble beginning the infant car industry meandered along at a snails-pace until 1962, when the Park Chung Hee administration set forth economic plans to transform Korea into the auto manufacturing giant it would later become.
At the onset, Korean auto-makers suffered from a dearth of advanced technology and a dismal level of productivity. This forced the industry to rely exclusively on imported components and know-how from the United States, Japan and Europe.
The Park administration was wise to capitalize on the desire of the world's leading car companies to do business here in a newly-opened consumer market. The approach to establishing the new industry is where questions of how much faster it could have risen, by producing a better product, gets murky.
The administration first enacted strict import bans that allowed no foreign cars to be sold in Korea unless they were shipped here completely disassembled and then assembled in Korean factories. Additionally, no foreign automotive company was permitted to do market here unless partnered with the local players in Korea's newly minted auto industry.
There was both wisdom and folly in the restrictions on foreign imports. The positive aspect was that by requiring all import cars be assembled here, the government had essentially established a national automotive hagwon; with international automotive technology delivered right to the door. This allowed the Korean industry to learn the ins and outs of assembling automobiles from the ground up.
The Chevy Malibu is making its way to Korean shores.
This was fine at first, though would later prove problematic due to an unestablished position on the world market, forcing Korean car makers to sell exclusively to the domestic market. With no competition from outside brands due to heavy restrictions, there was little incentive to make better cars here. Until the late 90's this was of great detriment to Korean consumers, left with the choice of either buying a lower quality domestic product or paying tariffs as high as 60% on superior foreign makes.
Despite low quality, with a captive domestic market, the industry continued to grow as increasing numbers of Korean consumers wanted to get behind the wheel. It wasn't until the late 1980's that Korea finally surpassed North American safety regulations and were able to penetrate the immense American market. This was the first time that the industry was faced with competition on the global stage, forcing it to adjust accordingly.
It was much the same in the United States when Japan first started importing heavily into America. Suddenly, U.S. automakers found themselves competing with a superior Japanese product.
In the 1970's the American auto industry had gone from making some of the best cars in the world, to some of the worst. The once relatively uncompetitive American market now hosted the presence of superior Japanese brands. There was no other choice but to make better cars.
The 1986 Hyundai Excel, Korea's first foray into the North American market. Though rated low for quality, the $4,995 price tag garnered it a lot of sales in the U.S.
Likewise, despite initial quality concerns upon entering the North American market, the quality slowly rose as Korean manufacturers were forced to compete for market share for the very first time. This fight spurred moves by Hyundai to face its detractors head-on. In 1998 they invested heavily in manufacturing quality, design, and long-term research and development. So confident was the company in the quality of their new models, they offered a 10-year/100,000 mile warranty on all vehicles sold in the United States.
The plan worked. By 2004 Hyundai tied with Honda for brand quality, second in the industry behind Toyota, according to J.D. Power and Associates.
Yet, the question remains: would Korea have built better cars sooner had they faced competition here in the Korean market? On one side there are those that say protectionism and government intervention assured that the fledgling industry was allowed to grow unhindered. The flip side is there are those who believe that competition with foreign makes would have forced Korean automakers to innovate faster to compete, thus creating a better product much earlier than they did.
No matter your position, today's results are undeniable and the rest, as they say, is history. As of this year, Hyundai/Kia became the fourth largest automaker in the world selling a combined 3.19 million vehicles worldwide over a six month period–180,000 more than Toyota. This is a testament to market proven quality of the product, as sales continue to rise world wide.
And much the same, the future of the industry is as good a topic for speculation as the past. With the growing popularity of foreign brands in an increasingly open market, will companies such as Hyundai/Kia, which currently holds over 70% domestic market share, rise to the occasion in their first bouts with foreign competition here at home?

Last weekend many top BMX pros joined the local BMX community to celebrate the completion of Woodward at Copper's renovation with a weekend long REMIX party. More than 4,000 people went through the Woodward at Copper Barn during the event, and total attendance at the resort for the REMIX weekend was over 14,250. BMX pros Gary Young, Morgan Wade, Zach Warden, Adam Baker and AJ Anaya were joined by the heavy local Pusher BMX crew for the demo in the Woodward at Copper bowl. With X Games Big Air Gold Medal Wins, Zach Warden took the lead on the big air ramp demo showing everyone some of the tricks he is known for.
The energy during the BMX demo was intense with each rider pushing the level a little higher until it ended. Highlights from the day were Gary Young's huge transfer from the shallow-end to the deep-end of the bowl, and Morgan Wade's gap from the big air ramp up to the second story pump track.

It's amazing to see how many skateparks are being built. The towns that once put a miniramp next to the basketball field, are now investing in concrete parks because of the number of kids in town that ride, skate and scoot. Thing is, with concrete you can get creative and design/build whatever you want. Concrete lasts forever so it's a good investment as well. With the help of DC, a new fun concrete park was built in beach town St. Jean de Luz in the South-West of France. If there are no waves that day, there's always the concrete.

($776) Light gold, with a slow mousse. Complex aromas of buttered nuts, brioche, honey, yellow peach and apricot seem evolved and open-knit. But this is surprisingly brisk on the palate, showing edgier, more citrus-driven pink grapefruit and lime flavors. The bitter citrus zest flavors are powerful and almost painfully concentrated. Displays the combination of richness and tart tones that is typical of this vintage. Clos du Mesnil has always been Krug's single-vintage statement, but one has to wonder what could have been had Krug blended some '96 or another lively vintage's juice into this.

Gainesville Coins is pleased to offer this 2012 1 oz Proof Silver Dragons of Legend - St. George and the Dragon coin. This coin was struck at the Perth Mint as part of the Dragons of Legend series, and comes complete with a stylish black display case and a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). This series looks at five different mythological ideologies of dragons across the world: the Red Welsh Dragon, Chinese Dragon, St. George Dragon, Bulgarian Three-Headed Dragon, and the European Green Dragon.
On the reverse of the coin sits St. George upon his valiant steed in full armor, about to slay a dragon. The two of them stand out in full color against the medieval countryside with the a castle in the background. The reverse of the coin is inscribed, "Dragons of Legend, 1 oz 999 Fine Silver," across the top, "St.George and the Dragon," across the bottom, and, "$1" under the St.George's horse.
While there are different versions of the tale of St. George and the Dragon, the most common adaptation tells of a dragon living in the spring from which the people of a town get their water. To get the dragon away long enough for them to get water safely, the town's people offer a sheep or a maiden as sacrifice. Many are drawn to see which maiden has been selected to be sacrificed and one day the princess of the town is chosen. Right before the dragon is going to eat her, St. George rides up, halts the sacrifice, slays the dragon, and saves the princess.
The obverse of the coin, features the profile of Queen
Elizabeth II, and is inscribed with the words, "Queen Elizabeth II, 1 Dollar, Tuvalu," and the date of release at, "2012." The Perth Mint of Australia produces these coins, however, the Island Nation of Tuvalu backs the value of them, and thus the Tuvalu name appears on the obverse of the coins.

Apartment 6, Landmark
Apartment | 3 bedrooms | sleeps 7
|Key Info
Our wonderful comfortable and spacious holiday home is in the heart of the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula. The apartment is located in an extremely secluded spot nestled amongst pine trees and landscaped gardens with views across the trees to the sea. Landmark is only a five minute woodland walk to beautiful beaches reaching from Sandbanks to Bournemouth. This is a uniquely quiet part of Sandbanks with squirrels in the gardens and lots of birds.
Landmark has an unusually large south facing balcony, which is a fantastic sheltered suntrap for your whole party to dine, socialise or soak up the sun on those warm summer days, a truly relaxing haven.
Landmark really does have the best of all worlds, being positioned in leafy surroundings, a short walk away from the beach, great restaurants and cafes, the chain ferry to Studland (by foot or car), Brownsea Island National Trust reserve by ferry, Poole Harbour (and with the convenience of Tesco Express which is now on Sandbanks). We have spent many days of our holidays at Landmark simply not needing the car, enjoying the beaches, crabbing from Poole Harbour wall, watching water sports in Poole Harbour, enjoying the fantastic childrens play area on the beach, which often has visiting bungee jumping or giant water orbs, crazy golf too! but equally the area is fascinating, with extremely beautiful countryside and a wealth of interesting places to visit by car too.
The apartment is approached by external steps to the entrance. On this floor you will find the living room/dining area with patio doors to the balcony, the kitchen and separate toilet. There are stairs down to 3 bedrooms: 1 treble (a double and a single bed), 1 twin and 1 double accessed through utility room (with access from one side of bed). There are two bathrooms, one with shower over bath, bidet and toilet, the other with shower with toilet.
You will have use of free unlimited broadband at the apartment. The flat has gas central heating. The kitchen is equipped with gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer. The utility room has a washing machine. There is a travel cot and highchair for family use. The TV has an integral DVD player. The balcony has a recliner chair and table, chairs & shade.

Sandbanks is famed for its glorious white sandy beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Sandbanks Beach is highly regarded both as a safe swimming beach with lifeguards on duty during the main season and is also renowned for its windsurfing, with the renowned Wind Fest at the beginning of September. The glitterati gather for the annual Beach Polo and weekly fireworks over the summer period are just a couple of exciting attractions to take place on the beach. It's easy to see why many families have been coming for years (indeed, generations).
Sandbanks possesses all the ingredients for the perfect family holiday or quiet 'getaway'. The area's natural beauty is due in large part to the abundance of wooded parks, cliff top walks and other open spaces, that create a 'park' like setting with wooded 'chines' leading down the cliffs to the beaches – there are 7 of these between Sandbanks & Bournemouth alone! The formal gardens at Compton Acres in the Canford Cliffs area are a major regional attraction. A short car ride away are the historic towns of Christchurch, Wimborne, Dorchester & Blandford, numerous Dorset villages such as Corfe Castle and Shaftesbury, the extensive open spaces of the New Forest and the unique and beautiful Isle of Purbeck.
Panoramic views extend from Sandbanks across the English Channel from Hengistbury Head (a family favourite) and the Isle of Wight in the east across to the Isle of Purbeck World Heritage coastline in the west. The Sandbanks chain ferry, 15 minutes' walk away, shuttles between Sandbanks and Studland Bay at the mouth of Poole Harbour and there are also ferries from the tip of the Sandbanks peninsula to nearby Brownsea Island Nature Reserve, owned and managed by the National Trust. Brownsea is the site of the first Scout Camp in 1907 and one of the few remaining homes of the native Red Squirrel. Further to the west, the Dorset & Devon coasts have been designated a 'World Heritage Site' and this fascinating coastline is now known as the 'Jurassic Coast' for the huge geological periods revealed by the varying cliff and rock formations, as well as a huge variety of fossils that can be found '..just lying around'!
Poole itself boasts the second largest natural harbour in the world, a haven for wild sea birds and a mecca for watersports enthusiasts. Poole is a vibrant town with a bustling quay and a good variety of shops and restaurants. Poole also boasts excellent cultural activities, with the much acclaimed Poole Lighthouse Arts Centre being home to the world famous Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Poole Park offers a range of activities including water sports, soft play, ice skating and a miniature railway.
Bournemouth, home of the renowned Bournemouth Air Festival in September, is a short car journey away or walkable from Sandbanks (2.8 miles) along the sea front.
There are some great restaurant venues that you can walk to from Landmark. You might like to try the Haven Hotel for supper or cocktails as you watch the sun go down over Purbeck, on their fantastic harbourside open air terrace. You can take a stroll along the beach to the cool Jazzys bar for beachside drinks or supper. Why not enjoy the glamorous Cafe Shore for a spot of people watching while you watch the lights twinkle across the harbour and spot the occasional celeb!

quote:Bowie had taken the stage persona of Ziggy Stardust, a science fiction based, theatrical, enigmatic, androgynous character and produced two albums during this period. The evening of 3 July was the last show in the English concert tour promoting Bowie's 1973 album Aladdin Sane and the 60th gig in a tour of Britain that started on 12 May, though an American tour was already being booked for the autumn. Very few in Bowie's entourage knew of his decision to drop the Ziggy persona and cancel performing for a while; in the band only Mick Ronson had been told a few days before the final night. At the end of the evening, aptly just before the song "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide", Bowie announced that, Not only is this the last show of the tour, but it's the last show that we'll ever do. The phrasing was deliberately ambiguous, but most of the audience and many London newspapers and magazines took it to mean that Bowie was retiring from music. In fact, he had killed off his Ziggy persona but not his music career.
quote:The !!!! Beat is an American television program which aired in syndication for 26 episodes in 1966. It was hosted by the Nashville, Tennessee based disc jockey Bill "Hoss" Allen, and featured a house band led by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. The show was recorded in color at WFAA, the ABC affiliate in Dallas, which had color facilities Guests included: Otis Redding, Little Milton, Esther Phillips, Joe Tex, Etta James, Lattimore Brown, Roscoe Shelton, Carla Thomas, Freddie King, Barbara Lynn, Johnny Taylor, The Radiants, Louis Jordan, The Mighty Hannibal, Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, Robert Parker, Joe Simon, Mitty Collier, Jamo Thomas, Z.

'Shark whisperer' gets up close with SEA Aquarium's resident sharks
- POSTED: 06 Aug 2014 16:34
- UPDATED: 07 Aug 2014 12:35
Shark conservationist Cristina Zenato will share her knowledge with marine scientists and conduct shark interaction sessions from Thursday to Saturday.
SINGAPORE: Ms Cristina Zenato - dubbed the "Shark Whisperer" for her ability to induce "tonic immobility" in sharks, by rubbing her fingers across the shark's head and face - met the 100 resident sharks of Resorts World Sentosa's SEA Aquarium on Wednesday (Aug 6).
While she was not able to immobilise the sharks here, she was able to feed a sandbar shark by hand in a demonstration on Wednesday.
In theory, such a state of immobility would allow scientists to study sharks in a low-stress environment, while tasks such as collecting DNA samples and vital data as well as removing fish hooks can be done with greater ease.
Ms Zenato - here for the aquarium's shark conservation month and Shark Savers Singapore's local campaign - said she hopes to dispel the negative perception of sharks as man-eating monsters.
She will share her knowledge with marine scientists from Thursday to Saturday. Visitors will also get to see her in action in shark interaction sessions over the three days.

Wow, got an idea of what the event is about. Took my step son and went to walk across Bleaklow last night. Pitch black, no light not even a star to glow. Thick fog and visibility down to about 3 metres. Made nav very interesting but just about managable with map, compass and GPS but very difficult. On pennine way could cover reasonable pace, once paths were vague, slowed right down., really right down. We went across the moor and by midnight decided enough and pitched the tents. Can't imagine how eiry this will be alone and tired during the race. Coming back we could check the route this morning and some very difficult sections were just difficult because we couldn't see the right path a mere metre away.
How did everyone do?
depends if they can cure my Achilles tendon, ankle pain from a severe break in 2010 and a little heart problem I deal with.

There are several fascinating elements at play in poet Rachel Zucker's new memoir MOTHERs, which came out in December from Counterpath Press.
Feminist spoken word roadshow Sister Spit has been sporadically criss-crossing the nation for 20 years now, building community around radical writing, poetry, and films. The group started in 1994 as a Bay Area open mic night meant to highlight the work of women artists who weren't getting enough attention. Since then, Sister Spit has become a traveling show and literary press. On this episode, we talk with three talented members of recent Sister Spit tours: essayist Beth Lisick, poet Dia Felix, and artist and musician Cristy Road.
More ways to listen to the show are below the cut.
April is National Poetry Month, a perfect excuse to spend some time today reading some interesting new feminist poems.
Poet Joan Vollmer was killed by her husband, William S. Burroughs, before she even turned 30.
This year is the hundredth anniversary of the birth of celebrated novelist William S. Burroughs. The date, as centenaries do, occasioned new biographies and appreciations.
This month, Bitch collaborated with women-in-literary-arts group Her Kind to ask poets thought-provoking questions about art and language. Here, poets Stalina Villarreal and Ire'ne Lara Silva talk over issues of likability, art, and how to "write from your cunt."
In a time when prostitution and female education were both considered unwholesome, professional courtesan Veronica Franco established herself a leader in the 16th Century literary arts. Although initially known among the Venetian literati for her iconic beauty and razor-sharp wit, Franco busted through the Venetian glass ceiling with her success in erotic love poems.
Anne Sexton was born in Newton, Masachusetts in 1928. Sexton was the youngest of three daughters and quickly earned the title of the wild child. At seventeen, her parents sent her to Rogers Hall Boarding School in Lowell, Massachusetts to try and cure the rebellious side in her. After graduating from school, Sexton attended what she would later call a "finishing school" before she met and eloped with Alfred Sexton II in 1948. For a short time after their marriage, she modeled for a small agency. But after her husband was sent to Korea for a time, Sexton gave up modeling to be like a typical '50s housewife—but she was anything but.
CALYX Journal begins its 36th year of publishing fine art and literature by women with its winter 2012 issue (vol. 27, no. 3). This self-described feminist literary journal allows women's voices to be front and center, which is why its four female founders created it in 1976. Referencing a recent survey conducted by VIDA: Women in Literary Arts the introduction in the summer 2011 issue of CALYX points out that women's voices are still highly marginalized in the literary journals and magazines, making their mission as relevant as ever.
Dorianne Laux's fifth book of poetry, The Book of Men, was released earlier this year. Spoiler alert: It is NOT ACTUALLY A BOOK OF MEN. It is a book of earth, and sex, and war, and food, and even a book of Cher. Yep. Cher. After reading The Book of Men I immersed myself in Laux's other books, and have emerged remembering what is best about reading poems.

TX: Comptroller Distributes $707M in Monthly Sales Tax Revenue to Local Governments

Texas cities will receive $462.8 million, up more than 6 percent year-to-date, and counties will receive $44.6 million, up almost 4 percent year-to-date.

If you've been wondering how the Wiimote controls work in Super Smash Bros Brawl, here it is:
The control pad is used much as you'd expect, controlling movements like running, jumping, crouching and getting down through platforms.
I'm late for work.
The 2 button is mainly used for standard and strong attacks. Just pressing it alone will do a standard attack, while if you hold a direction you get a strong attack. You can also use it for smash attacks when available.
I am the god of hell fire.
The 1 button gets used for special moves, which move depends on the direction you're holding.
That's a spicey meat-a-ball.
B button is your shield amongst other things. The position of this seems a little strange, but it's accessible enough and could work out ok.
Come here monkey boy.
The A button is used for taunting your opponents.
When a smash ball appears you have to hit it, rather than just walk into it.
Yoshi's deformed foot.
A limited demo of Brawl will be playable in Los Angeles at the "E For All" expo on October 18th (tomorrow). Wiimote controls will be on-hand to try for those attending.

Erik said:
Hopefully this control can be customized. Having Grab mapped to A and Taunt mapped to - would make a lot more sense to me.
Druidan said:
That's some serious elephantitis there!
RisingPhoenix said:
Only thing interesting here is that they did the right thing and put a shield around the Smash Ball, I was wondering if it was going to be as easy as just touching it.
wiiplayer said:
Spicy meatball.
KOOL-AID said:
I'm using the gamecube controller.
Wii Freak said:
I wish I could go.
Scooby Jew said:
Poor Yoshi. I don't think I'm going to play with just the Wiimote, that D-pad's just too small and a control stick is much more convenient. Also: Wii's World, try to get some videos of Smash gameplay. I'm really anxious to see some real-life Brawl action, and I'm sure everybody else is too. Thanks.
pichu fan said:
The first how to play mode that I ever cared about. Now I'm ready for brawl until February 10th.
Elebot said:
Yeah, seems okay. Don't know if I'll be using this way, but I'll give it a try.
WiiNinja said:
At least we know how to use it. I still want to see the Wiimote + Nunchuck action before E for All.
Super King said:
From what I've heard from the guy who translates the dojo, it sounds like you can FULLY customize your controls. So you could make any button you want be jump and stuff like that. Sounds like GREAT news! Also there's going to be three taunts which is sexy.
insultman911 said:
I wonder if you can bring your gamecube controller. Not that's it's important because I don't live in los angeles.
hypersonic65 said:
Wouldn't people be able to steal the wiimotes at E for All?
Keranu said:
I hope they allow you to customize the buttons to the way you want because I think it would make more sense if A was used for jump and + was for taunt. It'd also be nice if you could grab items by holding the down button and pressing 2 or something.
DragonFoxCoon said:
How unimaginative. With a motion-based console, they couldn't figure out a way to make an action game more action based?
divinity boy said:
This is a way better control scheme than I thought it would be. Maybe I won't need to buy gamecube controllers.
Gonzo said:
I like it better using the wiimote and the nunchuk. I don't like using the remote sideways.
Nintendoof said:
Y'know E for All is expensive. 75 bucks for one ticket on the weekend! 50 bucks for a weekday ticket. Ouch! I can't go.
Epsilon said:
Makes sense, except for taunt and grab. People will probably get used to it though.
insultman911 said:
Looks complicated, bring in the gamecube controller.
Sonic Phantom said:
This is too confusing for me. I'll stick with the GameCube controller.
Secret said:
I'm sticking with the gamecube remote.
Volxer said:
I don't really mind the change from the gamecube to the wii-mote, this game is going to be awesome.

Antitrust agencies amend premerger notification rules to clarify reporting of acquisitions of pharmaceutical patent rights
14 November 2013
The design provisions of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 for settlement of "licence of right" by the comptroller general of patents in the absence of agreement between the parties has just been put to the test for the first time.
And the outcome is one that intellectual property law experts at Nabarro Nathanson, which is closely involved in what is an on-going piece of litigation, say throws out significant guidelines for the future.
It gives a clear picture of the approach the comptroller general can be expected to adopt in such cases, particularly in determining royalty rates.
The case involves a design for a petrol-driven impact wrench for tightening bolts on rail lines.
But it is easy to see how the licences of right provisions of the 1988 act in respect of designs and copyright under the transitional provisions, which are analagous to the licence of right provisions for patents, could prove an attractive proposition to manufacturers anxious to cash in on trendy or otherwise valuable functional designs of best-selling and expensive products.
In this case Italian-based Airtec SRL took out injunctions to stop R Bance & Co - its UK distributor until a breakdown in the business relationship - producing the wrenches.
Under the provisions of the 1988 act design right has five years of absolute protection. After that there is a five-year period when others have a right to use them, subject to payment of licence fees. After that, protection ceases.
It is when the terms of these "licences of right", particularly the level of royalties in respect of the second five-year period, cannot be agreed between the parties that the comptroller general is called in to decide what he thinks they should be.
In this case, once the five years were up, Bance applied for a licence and when the terms could not be agreed went to the comptroller general to ask him to fix terms.
Nabarro Nathanson's Andrew Inglis, who represented Airtec, says the outcome was an important pointer for those making similar applications in the future as to the way such licence fees will be assessed.
The only previous law to be drawn on in this field related to similar licence by right applications relating to patents.
There is a substantial body of law here. However, this is the first time the new provisions in relation to designs had been tested in this way and one of the main points at issue was the status of designs when compared with patents.
Particularly at issue was to what extent the law on patent licences of right applied to designs. Was design copyright to be seen as a lower form of life in the intellectual property hierarchy, so attracting lower royalties?
In the end there seems little doubt that the arguments of Michael Hicks, who Inglis instructed, persuaded the comptroller that in the intellectual property field patents and designs are to be treated as equals, at least in approach.
"In the end the examiner went for a market rate, taking into account market circumstances," says Inglis. "It had been pointed out that designs can have huge commercial value and could therefore attract high royalty rates.
"Put in a nutshell, the test to be applied in the light of the recent decision has to be seen as the patent test of what the willing licensor would pay to a willing licensee. The way the decision was approached has thrown light on what promises to become a significant area of intellectual property law."
This battle is over, but others are in the pipeline. High Court confrontation can be expected early next year when the two sides will meet in the Chancery Division to fight over infringement and passing off issues.

Broncos coach tailors offense around his QB's skill set. Terry McCormick
In an interview with Jeff Darlington of NFL.com, Denver Broncos coach John Fox was very candid about the changes the offense has undergone in order to accommodate new quarterback Tim Tebow.
After a 45-10 blasting by the Detroit Lions, Fox decided that if Tebow had any chance to succeed, the Broncos were going to have to cater to his skill set and run a form of the spread option. The results have been good - two victories over the Raiders and Chiefs that have propelled the struggling Broncos back into the thick of the AFC West race at 4-5, a game behind Oakland.
"If we were trying to run a regular offense, he'd be screwed," Fox said of Tebow.
"After the loss to Detroit, we decided if Tim is going to be our guy, we can't do that other crap," Fox said. "We had to tweak it."
"That other crap" is the conventional pro style offense that the other 31 teams in the NFL run a form of. But thus far, making the adjustments to make Tebow a success has translated into success for Fox and the Broncos, who get another chance to test out their new system Thursday night when they face the New York Jets.

Gadget Rumor: Walmart To Sell 4GB iPhone For $99
Rumor has is that Walmart is set to get a 4GB iPhone. Yes, the same one, well, not exactly the same one Apple discontinued, but a 3G version. Since the Walmart shoppers are bargain hunters, or just down right poor, it's a little more likely and at a price tag of just $99, half the price of the 8GB, it's not that far fetched, especially since Best Buy sells the iPhone.
Walmart or Costco, someones getting a cheaper iPhone if Apple wants to become the number one provider of smartphones in the US, or perhaps even China (this would only apply to a Walmart scenario).

I must admit that I've always had an interest in big birds and read a little on Falconry, however lacking any firsthand experience, West Coast Falconry's' Hawk Walk was one of the most remarkable introductions to predators that are not normally amenable to human contact, my wife and I have ever had! Interfacing with was amazing!!!
The staff's dedication to their work is amazing, and they are doing a great public service allowing the general public an opportunity to intersect with the beautiful wild natural world so easily taken for granted in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We can't thank them enough... and we'll be back for their 3 day intensive...

We can't say enough about this warm and fascinating place. From the adrenaline rush of landing and launching Cowboy to the pure joy of my psychic cuddle with Shakti, we will return to West Coast Falconry again and again. The knowledge, patience and passion of the staff, and even their quite entertaining banter, offer something for everyone from the sportsman to the environmentalist, even including Geeks like us. We're enjoying our s.w.a.g. and anticipating an adventure with the OWLS or the FALCONS at some point soon. Gratitude to Travelzoo, too!

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Abraham Khan on Friday also scheduled two status conferences for Nov. 8 and Jan. 16.
Stow, a former Santa Cruz paramedic, was brutally attacked by two men wearing Dodgers gear in the Dodger Stadium parking lot after the season opener between the two rivals on March 31, 2011. He remained in a coma for three months after the attack.
Authorities charged Louie Sanchez, 29, and Marvin Norwood, 31, both of Rialto, with assault, battery and mayhem in the attack on Stow.
Stow's suit, which was filed in May 2011, alleges negligence, premises liability, negligent hiring, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress by the Dodgers. It also alleges that the team reduced security measures to save money.
If the Dodgers lose the lawsuit filed by Stow and his family, the financial liability could threaten the team's ability to pay its creditors, attorneys for the official creditors' committee.
According to court testimony, the Dodgers and their parent company are more than $600 million in debt. That does not include the $131-million divorce settlement for Jamie McCourt or damages a court could award to Stow.
Frank McCourt sold the Dodgers earlier this year for more than $1 billion.

Woman whips up 500 rum cakes for workers, clients of husband's business
As she pulled another 12 homemade rum cakes out of the oven Monday morning, Debbie Napier did the math.
The East Knox Countian estimated she's baked more than 500 of them since the week of Thanksgiving.
"It's pretty awesome. We've gone from 300 to 500 in just three years," says Napier, an administrative payroll clerk at Broadway Electric Service Corp. (BESCO) and wife of CEO Rodney Napier.
Napier sends the cakes to all office employees and customers.
On top of each cake package is a hand-painted light bulb made by Jana James, the wife of a longtime employee. The ornament is always a light bulb (the company does electrical contracting), with a unique design. This year, James painted elves with tiny ears, each holding a toy drum.
Debbie Napier says she started the cake-giving tradition a few years ago in her own kitchen for the men in the office. Then, the women wanted them, too. And soon, Rodney Napier asked her to bake them for customers as well.
"There were cakes in the living room, dining room, bonus room. You couldn't get ready for Christmas at our house because it was full of rum cakes," says Napier.
When the company moved to new offices in 2008, the cakes went, too.
"My husband got tired of 400 rum cakes in our house, so he decided when we moved into this building that we were putting in a kitchen," she says.
Now Napier uses five ovens, 40 heavy-duty Bundt pans, two heavy stand mixers and three paid helpers to crank out the cakes. But the secret recipe stays the same, she says - and the type of rum matters. She bought 11 cases of Barcardi Silver for the project this year.
"It's the best rum cake you've ever had," says James. "But she won't even tell me the recipe."
"It's my mom's recipe, and I don't give it out," Napier says. "The reason being, if you can make it at home, then it's not special to get it at Christmas."

- Cut each type of meat into 6 even pieces. Put them into 3 separate bowls and sprinkle generously with white wine.
- Cover the bowls and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
Day 2:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a flameproof earthenware casserole, heat the goose fat over low heat, put in the onions and sweat for several minutes.
- Lay the leek on top of the onions, then the potatoes. Add the bouquet garni, peppercorns and garlic and arrange the 3 meats separately on top, one type to the left, one in the middle, one in the right.
- Pour over the marinade and the remaining whine. Salt lightly, add the chicken stock and lay the pieces of calf's foot on top.
- Put the lid on the casserole.
- Mix the flour with a little cold water to make a soft paste. Spread this paste between the top of the casserole and the lid to make an airtight seal.
- Cook in the low oven for 4 hours.
- Present the casserole at the table just as is. Break the seal and lift off the lid.
