Lindsay Price: Lipstick Jungle Switching Networks?by Eric Hochberger at . Comments
Recently the NBC President announced that they were looking into alternatives for Lipstick Jungle to not cancel it. Now, Lindsay Price enlightens us on some of those ideas.
According to what the actress told E! Online at the M.A.C.Cosmetics Hello Kitty event, Lipstick Jungle may be moving to "Bravo or Lifetime...That's what they're saying...Or they're talking about maybe doing what they did with Friday Night Lights—airing on DirecTV and then later on NBC."
Oh, and, of course, they had to ask the all important question, if Joe and Victory got married, which designer would Victory wear? "I don't know. Maybe Peter Som, who does some of our stuf... Oh, actually she'd probably do her own dress." Victory's dream dress? "Maybe old-school Givenchy. Or Valentino!"
Eric Hochberger is the programmer of TV Fanatic, so please forgive his mediocre writing. His programming is far better. Follow him on Twitter and/or email him. Just don't request threaded comments. They're coming.Tags: Lipstick Jungle
I really Love this show and need to have it back
Please bring Lipstick Jungle back. I am tired of the same dull & boring shows!!! We want Lipstick Jungle Back!!!
Hello, |I live in latvia too...and I adore this show, so please bring it back as soon as possible:) yhank u
Hello! I live in Latvia and we LOVE the show here also. Please bring it back!!!!!
Lipstick Jungle is a fantastic show and I hope you bring it back on any channel.
Lipstick Jungle is a fantastic show and I hope you bring it back on any channel.
I don't care where it airs, as long as it continues (and I can watch it online...)!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this show and am so sad that there are no more episodes to watch. It's poignant, fun, and has real issues. I bought about 10 episodes on Itunes once I got hooked just so I could catch up. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this show back!
That would be great! I hope it continues to be streamed on Hulu though, because I don't have either of those channels.
There are no shows regarding professional women balancing career and personal life. Lipstick Jungle fits a huge void and is so entertaining. It is such an incredible escape and a welcome change from the proliferation of reality shows that the boomers cannot stand. Please keep Lipstick Jungle--Lifetime or Oxygen are perfect networks for the show...

First of all, let me tell you that the US Cellular Fields in Medford are really nice. Not Redding Big League Dreams nice, but the 5 artificial turf fields are very playable. You can see them right off of I-5 but it takes some maneuvering to find them. I requested a chance from the ASA rep if we could participate and they said we could. They placed us in the "upper" division and we competed well and placed 4th in the ASA "C" division. We did not get any close calls, but that is expected when we travel. (Local teams know the umps by name and they have to deal with those guys all year. We are just a weekend fling.) The players were great, and I met some new friends and caught up with other hard line players. It was fun regardless of our losing to Southern Oregon Softball Grants Pass Storm 5-4 to knock us out of the tourney.
My batting slump continues, so I am ready for a break out weekend. Playing 4 leagues and being over 50 has caught up with me. But I love the game and the players so I keep going.
Tournament in Scotia this weekend? Stay tuned for more information.
Don't forget the August 9th and 10th tournament at Big League Dreams in Redding. Call me at 707-445-3432. Or email me.

Yikes! I see this being a pattern… as the kids get older, I post less and less. Less time. Less picture taking as we are able to be more active together.
But when the pictures come, they're worth the wait! And I've got Halloween pictures and a fun outing pics, and some from a birthday party they went to that were too adorable to ignore. So here we go:
That's the Ninja Twins on Halloween. We went to a friends house, where the kids met two friends – Jacob had to trick or treat with his friend Asher, as they were both Ninja's, and so Molly needed a buddy, and they had a great time.
Molly Ninja.
Jacob Ninja.
Earlier in the day, they had their school parade. See if you can find the ninja and the princess (she had a costume change for school…).
I have to go back a weekend earlier, and share a couple of pictures from a birthday party of one of their close friends, because it was so darn cute. They had old fashioned games, like the egg race
And tug of war
Neither of which Mol wanted to take part in. But when it came to whacking things (for sugar), she was all in:
So was Jacob.
And one last pic, before I get to yesterday's pictures. Jacob has been building up a storm lately. Molly had her first sleepover at someone elses house on Friday night. So Jacob got to be a spoiled only child, and we took him out for sushi and let him pick a movie to watch. Star Wars, Episode 2, of course. So then he built and photographed this amazing command bridge for the clones.
And then Molly came home and knocked it down.
Anyway, after that all happened, we went to this really cool cooking class in the kitchen with the executive chef at the Bel Air Hotel. It was amazing. Like really amazing. Here's the kids, making pasta and apple pie. First, toques and aprons.
Then, cooking. Make the pasta dough:
Then knead it.
Then watch it go through the press.
Then you have to clean up (this shot is so you can see the amazing kitchen):
And we also strolled the grounds, and saw the swans.
Molly was far more into letting us take pictures of her.
Jacob let us take one.
Then he went into hiding.
But Molly is always up for a picture with her Daddy:
And sometimes even her Mommy.
That was a day none of us will forget anytime soon!
Programming note: you can click on any of the images to see them bigger!

Flawless quality! My neighbor recently revealed the secret to her impeccable eyebrows. FINALLY!!!!! She confessed that she had them permanently done by Emilia Berry at PermaLine. I'm still in total shock and blown away at the same time because her eyebrows look completely natural! There's no signs or indicators whatsoever! I'm completely impressed with the level of quality they gave here. I even have an appointment scheduled to get mines done soon!! Hopefully they turn out just as fabulous as hers!!
I just wanted you to see hers. Will post mine soon ;)
BTW, the before & after picture is from someone posting Emilia's work on Instagram (because my neighbor didn't want to be photographed)

How did you spend your summer?
Youth initiatives at the Volunteer Center of Bergen County ended the summer the way they started, with Ready, Set, Serve, our innovative summertime service "camp." The last week in August was the Middle School track for this fun, educational and experiential leadership summertime encounter with service. Fifteen 7th and 8th grade students from all over Bergen County joined together to become spectacular team investigating service and leadership. We explored team building, leadership, individual and group goals, and planning and carrying out a community project.
Lily Cohen, 7th grader, said "I really enjoyed Ready, Set, Serve and I learned a lot about how to be a better leader." Through a series of challenges, these young leaders were able to explore their own styles of group work, how they solve problems and how they communicate and get their point across to the group.
"We had a wonderful week together and I am looking forward to working with this special group as they work on individual projects as well as some group activities over the next several months" states Debbie Emery, Director of Community Volunteer Services and program leader for Ready, Set, Serve.

Summer Food Drive for Children a Success
Hundreds of children from needy families receive hot breakfast and lunch during the school year through subsidized school meal programs. When schools close for summer vacation, these meals are not available, and low-income families are often unable to fill the void, many having to make the choice between paying rent or going hungry.
The Volunteer Center's Business Volunteer Connect (BVC) coordinated a summer food drive with both its member companies and other interested companies, to collect "kid-friendly", non-perishable breakfast and lunch food items. The food collected during this initiative, entitled "Brown Bag Buddies", was delivered to the Center for Food Action and other local food pantries.
"The wages of the working poor have not kept up with housing, transportation and child care costs. Northern New Jersey has the highest child poverty rates in the state. Without school meals, families must turn to the food pantries to provide nutritional meals for their children," says Janet Sharma, executive director of the Volunteer Center.
Eleven companies took part in this year's initiative, collecting and distributing over 4,000 lbs of food, as well as donated cash. Included in that total was 263 lbs. of food collected at the BVC's Night at the Races fundraiser, where 205 guests donated cereal, mac & cheese and other kid-friendly food, and raised nearly $15,000. Total value of food/cash distributed was almost $75,000.
The sponsors for this year's drive were Bank of New Jersey, BD, Community Bank of Bergen County, Konica Minolta, KPMG, Rockland Electric, Sealed Air and United Water.

As the first solo act to emerge from the Weightless Recordings stable, Illogic steps up with his second disc, Got Lyrics, and puts his flag down in the state of Hip-Hop. With many having slept on the first disc, judging a book by its cover (only a plain white background with the words Illogic -Unforeseen Shadows printed on it), Got Lyrics works as his official introduction, accompanied by producer Blueprint (who we'll also being hearing a lot from when his collaborative project with RJD2 drops on Rhyme Sayers Ent. later this year).
It's easy to paint this disc up as heavy-handed nerd rap - you know, the "I'm the rapper and I'm smarter than you" shit. And it is that. But out of all of it, from Anticon to Aesop Rock (who actually gave Ill his proper introduction on Labor Days), Illogic remains one of the top emcees in his class. Maybe it's the fact that Blueprint's beats are raw, straight-up hip-hop, (unlike others in his class), and he treats them that way. The question the album's title asks may seem generic in the age of catch phrase t-shirts and bumper stickers, but it lives up to the hype, as Illogic really does "Got Lyrics".
From the duck-walking title track, Illogic immediately grabs the listeners attention spitting intelligent battle raps, filling in his own blanks in stereo, only to be complimented by Blueprint's "everything is satisfaction" breakdown, before egging him on to come widdit once more. The duo also works well together on "The Name Game", where Illogic spits the names of several Midwestern emcees into his rhyme, over Blueprint's brilliant heavy bass stabs and funky sirens of Biz Markie, creating order out of chaos with saluting horns that would make El-P proud. The same type of emcee / producer camaraderie is also found on "Too Many Times", where Illogic again defies wit and wisdom with cleverly penned rhymes, easy enough to grasp, but smart enough to dissect, only to be begged by Blueprint's sample to "have mercy", after each verse.
From start to finish, Illogic and Blueprint's Got Lyrics is one of the new year's best releases, and certainly a perfect starting point for those wishing to take a step up to hip-hop's next level (smart rap). It's not too pretentious, and he's a great lyricist that packs the confidence and sarcasm of someone like Evidence, with the heavier lyrics of an emcee like Aesop Rock. But what brings it down to earth are the beats with Blueprint, keeping it grounded in the world of hip-hop, so we slightly unpretentious heads can enjoy it too. Dope.

Solving the world's environmental problems

As a 66-member Israeli delegation makes its way to Rio de Janeiro for a global
climate summit, the country's environmental leaders hope to help provide answers
to the planet's looming environmental crises.The Rio+20 United Nations
Conference on Sustainable Development is a two-week summit filled with
negotiations, forums and training courses culminating in a three-day high-level
summit from June 20 through 22 in Brazil. The conference marks two decades since
the previous Rio de Janeiro climate summit, the 1992 UN Conference on
Environment and Development, as well as the 10th anniversary of the 2002 World
Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. About 50,000 people and 130
state heads are expected to attend the event, including a 66-member delegation
from Israel led by Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan."Our
main goal is to present Israel's solution to the world crisis," Erdan told The
Jerusalem Post on Wednesday night, emphasizing the country's particular
strengths in sustainable agriculture, irrigation and other water
technologies.This is the perfect arena, he explained, to help solve the
challenges faced by two billion people in the world who lack access to
sanitation and water."We want to focus on giving them our knowledge,"
Erdan said.The Israeli delegation contains members from the government,
civil society and local authorities as well as two Knesset members – MKs Carmel
Shama-Hacohen (Likud) and Dov Henin (Hadash).In addition to
participating in the high-level segment next week, Israel will be leading two
official side events on June 19 and 20 – the first about sustainable
agriculture, in cooperation the Foreign Ministry, the Agriculture Ministry, the
United States, Canada and Germany, and the second about water management,
together with the Industry, Labor and Trade Ministry, the Mekorot national water
company and the city of Sao Paolo."Our main message is that the world
has the problems and the challenges and Israel has the solutions," said Galit
Cohen, the Environment Ministry's senior deputy director-general of planning and
sustainability. "In our side event and in our speech whenever we are
participating we will give those messages – the Israeli solution, Israeli
innovation for the world."Aside from hosting multilateral discussions on
climate issues, one of the desired outcomes is the signing of the Rio
Declaration, also known as the Zero Document, whose goal, according to the
conference, is to determine "the future we want."The final negotiations
over this declaration are taking place in the days leading up to the high-level
summit – negotiations that have been occurring for two weeks every month for the
past six months among member states of the UN.The Rio Declaration, Cohen
said, is essentially a consensus paper among 193 countries that are aiming to
reach an agreement on several issues related to sustainable development and how
to proceed in the future with the subjects of food security; water; energy;
sustainable cities; forests; oceans; sustainable consumption and green jobs.
Also included in the declaration are social issues, gender and generational
equality and parity among developed and developing countries, she
added.In terms of food security, the developing countries want to ensure
that all their citizens have access to nutritious foods, while developed
countries want to make sure that their food is produced in a sustainable way. As
far as water goes, the developing countries strive to have access to water for
every individual, while developed countries want to make sure that their water
is clean, according to Cohen.Israel has been an integral part of these
negotiations from the beginning, with constant representation from both the
Environmental Protection Ministry and the Foreign Ministry."There is a
real spirit of compromise and determination among delegations to produce a
document that can be endorsed by heads of state and government," said Sha
Zukang, Rio+20 secretary-general in a statement released by his
office."Rio+20 will provide the inspiration and the guidance to
accelerate progress on the sustainability agenda."While some Environment
Ministry officials expressed hopefulness that the Rio Declaration will be
signed, others feared a failure due to financial disagreements; As developing
countries demand more money for their projects, developed countries are apt to
say no."I'm not sure that there will be a declaration," Erdan said. "I'm
not optimistic because of the economic crisis. I've heard this from other
ministers around the world and especially from Africa. They are afraid – because
of the crisis in Europe it will be very hard to agree on dates and numbers and
money to be transferred to those countries that are suffering."Two main
issues of focus in Rio, according to the ministry, will be creating sustainable,
green economies for poverty prevention in the context of sustainable development
and establishing an international institutional framework for environmental
structures and bodies."In the concept of green economy, Israel has a lot
to offer and that is our message as a delegation," ministry officials
said.TO PROMOTE Israel's innovations and experience in coping with
environmental challenges, the Israeli delegation will have a special booth in
the exhibition alongside the summit. The background of the pavilion will feature
an image of a green brain in a field of grass.An ongoing presentation
displayed in the booth will feature Israel's historic invention and usage of
drip irrigation, which waters about 80% percent of Israeli farmland, and will
also promote Israel's record-breaking reuse of wastewater. While Israel reuses
80% of its wastewater, the closest country in the world to our record is Spain,
which reuses less than 20% of its own sewage, according to ministry
data.Meanwhile, the pavilion will also showcase the country's
productivity and efficiency in food production, which has increased by 450%
since 1950, the ministry reported. During the 1950s, one farmer in Israel was
only able to feed about 15 people, but that same farmer can now feed up to 100
people.The booth will also highlight Israel's desalination activities,
the country's extremely productive dairy cattle industry and its requirement
installation of solar water heaters on new buildings."All of these
solutions are relevant to developing countries and help reduce water use, reduce
energy use," officials said.In addition to the pavilion and side events
coordinated by the ministry, Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund will
also be hosting a learning center on reforestation.Different from an
ordinary side event, such centers encompass a longer, approximately three-hour
time period and require advanced registration, David Brand, KKL-JNF chief
forester, told the Post on Wednesday.The learning center will look at
water harvesting as a means of forestation in semi-arid zones, advanced nursery
practices, improvements in drought-resistance and how to deal with invasive
species, such as insects that attack forest plantations, according to Brand. In
addition to an oral presentation, KKL-JNF staff will be directly involving
workshop participants "to share knowledge with other countries" in a
collaborative setting, he said."Our target in these conferences is to
share our advanced knowledge that we gained during the last 40 to 50 years, the
advanced research, and develop ways to find collaboration with developing
countries," Brand added.With an eye forward toward Rio, Israel has
created its own Sustainability Outlook for 2030 as well as Israeli adaptations
of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Environmental
Outlook to 2050 and the United Nations Environmental Program's Global
Environmental Outlook, Cohen explained.MEANWHILE, THE Environmental
Protection Ministry is pushing toward green growth in Israel, with an emphasis
that there are economic indicators beyond the simple gross domestic
product.The ministry as well as KKL-JNF will be distributing materials
about Israel's green growth policies, its waste revolution and its path toward
sustainable consumption in hotels throughout Rio as well as at the
summit."Israel has a solution that everybody is looking for," Cohen
said.European countries often lack such solutions because they have not
had to cope with issues of water scarcity and developing creative means of
irrigation, she explained."Now that the world is facing climate change
conditions, the Israeli experience is very, very important," Cohen added. "That
is something we are hearing all the time in the OECD."Recently, Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that he will attend the Rio+20, as will
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.Regarding their attendance
– and that of other leaders with less than friendly relations to Israel – Erdan
said that the Israeli delegation did not want to focus on Middle East conflict
issues. Rather, he said, the Israeli representatives prefer to focus on Israel's
environmental technologies and innovative solutions to the global hunger and
water crises."But we also did all the preparations in case the
Palestinians or the Iranians or you name it will try to take the discussion to
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Erdan said. "But we are not going to start
with that. We won't initiate that discussion."Regarding Ahmadenijad in
particular, Erdan said that he finds it "a real shame" that the UN is giving the
stage to the Iranian president, an individual who expresses a desire to destroy
another UN member country, at a conference that aims to help the world survive
through sustainable development."I think it's a disgrace for the
UN.But he's there and there's nothing that we can do about it," Erdan
said. "I don't want to give them the excuses to move the discussion from what we
need to stress about Israel and what we need to demonstrate about our
technologies and solutions to what they want."While it might be in the
Iranian interest to talk about the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the Israeli
team would prefer to discuss "the Middle East as a place that suffers from
desertification and water scarcity and [the ways] we learn how to live with that
and develop solutions," the minister added.Also important, in Erdan's
eyes, are the various meetings that both he and Israel's innovators will be
holding with ministers from Africa and other places that truly need Israeli
environmental technologies."In every country where I find the need and
they are ready to accept our experts, I will try to get the support from the
prime minister and the Foreign Ministry to hire more engineers and advisers to
send them to those countries," he said.If there is another Rio climate
conference in 20 years – a Rio+40 – Environment Ministry officials said they
hope that as a whole, the global population will have changed its behavioral
patterns, as the Earth's inhabitants are currently overshooting the planet's
capacity.Although the world has generally become more environmentally
friendly, Cohen pointed out that because there is an ever-increasing population,
people are producing more – a "volume effect."Ultimately, the
Environment Ministry officials did not expect any monumental, immediately
globe-altering decisions to take place in Rio, but rather a more gradual
trickle-down effect of environmental improvements."I think that it helps
us to create a new paradigm, a new language," Cohen said. "It's something that
helps us think about the connections, the impact between the environment and the
economy. A green economy is a good solution for the whole world right now and
this is the direction – going green, green economy."Erdan expressed
similar sentiments, stressing that events such as Rio+20 are significant simply
because they happen. At the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009, for example,
no agreement was signed, but because so many leaders were present, they
understood the need to dramatically transform their domestic and international
greening policies, according to Erdan. Shortly after that conference, the
Israeli government invested NIS 2.2 billion in a plan to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 20% by the year 2020.Today, in the background of Rio+20,
the Environmental Protection Ministry along with the Industry, Trade and Labor
Ministry has built a plan for green growth that the team will present to the
government upon returning from Rio, Erdan explained."We think there is a
great chance that it will pass and we will have another budget – to make a
cleaner, wiser economy that uses less and less resources," he
said.Quoting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Erdan added that Israel
– and other countries across the globe – must continue to strive "to do more
with less."

Arena Profile: Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.)
Brad Miller is North Carolina's first elected representative to the 13th and newest Congressional District, which stretches from the state capitol of Raleigh, along the Virginia border counties, to Greensboro's Piedmont Triad Region.
Personal Background
For Brad Miller, North Carolina values are the values he learned from his church, from North Carolina public schools, and at his mother's knee.
Brad's father grew up on a farm outside of Spring Lake, North Carolina, one of eleven children. His mother grew up at the Baptist Orphanage in Thomasville, North Carolina. Brad's father and mother were both children of the Depression, both were valedictorians of their high school classes, and both began college but could not afford to complete their degrees.
Brad's parents met and married in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where Brad was born in 1953. Brad's father was a branch manager of the neighborhood post office, and his mother was a bookkeeper. His father died in 1965, when Brad was 12.
With support from his mother and student loans, Brad was able to earn the education that his parents could not afford for themselves. After completing public school in Fayetteville, Brad earned a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a master's degree from the London School of Economics, and a law degree from Columbia University. He served as law clerk to Judge J. Dickson Phillips, Jr. of the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals for one year following his graduation from law school, and practiced law in Raleigh for more than twenty years before his election to Congress.
A Call to Public Service
Brad's parents instilled an early interest in public service. At age 11, Brad passed out literature at a polling place for a family friend from church who was running for local office. That night Brad's father took him to the Cumberland County Courthouse to watch election returns tallied.
Brad was elected the Chair of the Wake Democratic Party in 1985, when he was 31 years old.
In 1992, Brad was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives, where he served two years. He was elected to the North Carolina Senate in 1996, where he served six years. As a member of the state legislature, Brad wrote North Carolina's safe gun storage law, which dramatically curbed juvenile gun deaths. He also introduced legislation to expand North Carolina's domestic violence law; to reduce air pollution from cars and trucks; to limit the influence of political patronage in state government hiring; and to protect consumers from dishonest automobile mechanics.
The Raleigh News and Observer called Brad "a workhorse for public education and a conscientious voice for integrity in government" as a North Carolina legislator.
Brad Miller's Work in Congress
In 2002, Brad was elected to Congress to represent a new district gained by North Carolina after the 2000 Census. Brad now serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight of the Science and Technology Committee. He also serves on the Financial Services and Foreign Affairs Committees.
Brad quickly became a leader in Congress in protecting consumers from predatory financial practices. He is the lead sponsor of legislation to protect homeowners from predatory mortgage lending.
He has been an outspoken critic of pay inequity between workers and top corporate executives. The Wall Street Journal said that Brad is "among the most outspoken [Democrats] on the issue of inequality."
In his role as Chairman on the Science Subcommittee, Brad has led investigations into efforts to alter scientific research for political advantage and into waste and fraud in government agencies. He has continued to push for innovation and research into alternative energy sources on the Science and Technology Committee.
Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.)'s Recent Discussions
Why are members eager to exit Congress?
When I leave I will have been in public office for 18 years, and it's changed pretty dramatically.
When I first came to Congress, stakeholders were expected to get together and get to common ground and to accomplish what needed to happen. Generally by the end of that, we took a good many votes that were virtually unanimous. There were always a couple of people who voted against a certain bill, but generally it was bipartisan.
Now, Congress could not be more different. Something has changed. The committees that have traditionally been consensus-driven are getting pressure from up high on the Republican side to find differences - something that the Democrats would object to. On the science committee I heard through the grapevine that Republican leadership told them to find something in bill that Republicans could ask for that Democrats would object to.
In the district that I've represented for a decade, the Republicans created three hyper-Democratic districts, and they created ten districts that lean strongly Republican. I didn't want to run in a district that bore very little relationship to the district I'm in… I certainly thought about running, but just decided it wasn't worth it.
I don't think any normal human being would really like being involved in politics as combative and often hateful as politics is now.See more

Also, I meant to add to the
Also, I meant to add to the discussion that IP laws to rely on the wronged party to prosecute. There's not government department of copyright or patent infringement police. A person who thinks they've been infringed has to bring legal action; the government simply provides the court system and the enforcement of judgements. People who lift a patent idea for backyard use, or perform an AC/DC number, or lift a few graph of any book don't get hauled to jail. They have to be selling the work of someone else, not just using it. I can re-copy version of any poem, novel, song I want with absolutely no danger. It is only when I attempt to profit from or subvert the creator's profit that I get in trouble.
And, there are fair-use doctrines in place. You can quote at length from a book-length work as long as you cite me and as long as your use of my work does not serve as a replacement in the marketplace for my work. If you quote from a shorter work, your quote, obviously, has to be shorter to meet the fair-use doctrines.
I'm confused about how anyone gets the idea that if I search the patent database and see, for example, a great idea for a mobile chicken coop, I can't use that for my own backyard. There's no prohibition for me using the idea; only for me selling the idea. As I understand it, patents and copyrights don't protect a unique idea or expression; they protect profiting from it, outside personal benefit, without dealing with the patent/copyright-holder -- at least for a time.
So much of the anti-IP stuff I've read, seems to be confused about this. They seem to think that no one can use an idea if it's been patented or copyrighted. That's obviously untrue practically, and, I think, also untrue legally. Patents are published for a reason. We get to play with them, use them for ourselves and our own research. No one is stopping anyone from building that better patented mouse trap, just from selling it -- for a time. And it's not government doing the preventing; it's a civil suit brought by the patent owner or proxies. Government just supplies the courts and the legal scaffolding folks can go to if they think they've been wronged.

I have been humbled by Leslie Sansone.
I always believed walking was for couch potatoes, that it couldn't burn fat off my body, which is used to the kick-butt Stairmaster. But Leslie has become such a phenomenon—she has more than 30 workout DVDs, a legion of followers, and a gazillion TV appearances--that I had to experience her workouts myself. My fave is her latest release, 5 Day Slim Down, which includes a 6-minute warm-up, five different "mile walks" (ranging from 12-14 minutes each), and a 9-minute cooldown.
"Walking" is really marching in place, and if you pump your arms and bring your knees high, you'll be out of breath in a nanosecond. Two minutes into Leslie's first mile, my cheeks were flushed and glowing in respect for her.
But you probably already know how great her workouts are.
Here's why I (and several reviewers on collagevideo.com and Amazon.com) think Leslie's 5 Day Slim Down is her best video:
--Each mile is different. The first mile is her trademark walk, the second adds arm movements (grab 1-2lb dumbbells to increase intensity), the third adds leg moves (like squats and lunges), the fourth adds standing abdominal moves, and the fifth is a speed walk (the music is 150-beats per minute).
--You can divide and organize the workouts anyway you wish, sweating anywhere from 27 to 80 minutes.
--Leslie sweats solo in this video, so there's less perky chatter (perfect for cranky exercisers).
--Instead of her popular black curtain as a backdrop, Leslie's in a big, open studio…with windows!
As usual for Leslie's workouts, her 5 Day Slim Down is easy to follow with peppy (but not too peppy) dance music, and no equipment is required. Rain or shine, Leslie's ready for you! Whether you like it or not.
Do you like Leslie Sansone's workouts?

Talks between Russia and France on the purchase of Mistral class helicopter carriers have come to a dead end over Russia's demands on the transfer and licensed production of sensitive electronics, a Russian defense industry source said on Friday.
Mistral class ships are equipped with a NATO-standard SENIT-9 naval tactical data system and SIC-21 fleet command system. France is strongly opposed to delivering the SENIT-9 to Russia with a production license, and apparently does not want to deliver the SIC-21 at all.
"The Russian side wants to get all advanced technologies together with the ship…and the future of the contract totally depends on whether France would agree to part with these systems," the source said.
The official confirmed that talks were tough-going and their format was constantly changing.
Russia completely replaced its team of negotiators on May 5 hoping to change the course of the talks by literally starting from scratch.
Experts believe that the controversial issues of such a highly-publicized and politically-charged deal could be resolved only through a compromise between the Russian and French leaders.
Russia and France in January signed an intergovernmental agreement to jointly build two Mistral-class helicopter carriers at the STX shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. Another two are planned to be constructed later at the Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg.
A Mistral-class ship is capable of carrying 16 helicopters, four landing vessels, 70 armored vehicles, and 450 personnel.

Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem
By Stephanie Zacharek
Teri Horton's idea of a good time is drinking beer at the VFW; her idea of shopping is sifting through dumpsters behind Wal-Mart; her idea of art is Norman Rockwell. To the art-world elite, Horton is a plebian nightmare at worst, a kitschy curiosity at best. She's also a spunky septuagenarian former truck driver and the heroine of this documentary, which chronicles Horton's discovery of an alleged Jackson Pollock at a thrift shop and her subsequent battle with art experts to get the find legitimized. Horton enlists a forensic scientist to help prove authenticity through fingerprints, and while the forensics is marginally interesting, the most arresting piece of the film is Horton herself, as she asks of the art world, "Who the hell do they think they are?" Still, Pollock drags when Horton's offscreen, and with its NPR-inflected narration and executive producer Don Hewitt, the film might have fared better as a PBS special.
