The present invention relates generally to user interfaces. More particularly the present invention is directed to incorporating a user interface into a holster.
Handheld electronic devices, such as cellular radiotelephones are generally small and lightweight, making them portable and easy to carry. As a result, they are highly function specific and they only require limited user interface capability. However, the current trend is to combine cellular radiotelephones with other electronic device. As a result of this trend, device operation has become more complex, adding features such as internet browsing, text messaging, video streaming and personal information management (PIM) in to typical voice communication operation. As a consequence these devices either increase in complexity of operation or must increased in device size to accommodate the needed user interface capability, both of which are contrary to the desire to reduce device size, weight and ease of use.
One solution currently being adapted is to add multiple functions to a single button say on the keypad of a cellular radiotelephone. Each device mode type however requires a unique user interface that compliments the functionality of the different mode types and therefore requires that many functions be added to a limited number of buttons. This often leads to operator confusion and increased complexity of device operation, inhibiting use.
Another solution adapted to increase the user interface capability is the addition of external devices for data entry such as portable keyboards. Some of the keyboards are folding but nevertheless must be carried in addition to the electronic device making them awkward and cumbersome to the user. In addition these types of devices substantially increase the weight of the overall portable device making them less attractive to the user and again inhibiting use. These device must also be carried separately in a bag making them even more cumbersome and more easily lost.
Accordingly, a system is needed to allow easy data entry yet maintain portability and wearability of wireless communication devices.
A holster for a portable handheld electronic device is described. More particularly a holster incorporating a user interface for the portable handheld electronic device is described.
Portable electronic devices often come with a holster for stowing the device on ones person, typically with the use of a belt clip. The holster is simply a passive device adapted to receive the portable electronic device. Holsters or belt clips are in most cases standard accessories, or at least available after market for wireless communication devices such as radiotelephone handsets, pagers or the like.
Wireless communication device trends indicate that radiotelephones will become more data centric, requiring a user interface that accommodates data entry operations. Current, existing radiotelephone keypad designs make data entry cumbersome and awkward reducing potential for data communications.
A wireless communication device holster is shown in
A clip 110 or attachment means in one embodiment is disposed on an outerside 106 of said body 100. The clip can be used to attach the holster 101 to ones body or other object. The clip can be clipped to a belt or a purse in one instance. It may also be used to clip the holster 101 to components in a car such as an air vent or other object that holds the device to the vehicle in a useable fashion to the user. The clip in one embodiment is a belt clip 110 and is on an opposing outer side from said UI 108. In another embodiment the clip is a belt loop.
The UI 108 is electronically coupled to the portable electronic device 104 through a wired or wireless link. In one embodiment, shown in
If the link between the electronic device is wireless, a transceiver (not shown) in the electronic device 104 communicates with a transceiver in the UI 108. The UI 108 would need to retain its own power source under this embodiment to power the transceiver. The wireless link could be established through Bluetooth, IrDa, or any short range RF transmission. This would further allow the UI 108 to communicate with the portable electronic device 104 even when the device 104 is removed from the holster and located within short distances from the portable electronic device 104.
The user interface 108 is one that is adapted to accommodate the operation of the portable electronic device 104. In one embodiment, shown in
The user interface 108 may be a touch pad 502. The touch pad 502 may be mounted in a fixed position, or a rotating as described above. The touch pad 502 is used a positioning device such as a computer mouse or a writing tablet used with a stylus. The touch pad 502 can be one element or divided into two or more portions. For example, one portion may be for writing characters while another is for writing numbers. Buttons on the user interface 108 correspond to one function of the portable electronic device 116. This increases the ease of use of the portable electronic device 116 as the portable electronic device 116 may employ or assign several functions to one key or button on the device 116 user interface to save space. The user interface 108 of the holster 101 reduces the number of functions per key or button to one.
The user interface may also be a multimode touch screen display 502 as shown in
In one embodiment the textile UI 702 is a textile keypad 902 available from Elektex, London England. The electrotextile embeds switches (Not Shown) into a textile material that is readily foldable while the switches are fixed to a given location on the textile. In one embodiment the textile UI 702 is a QWERTY keypad 902. A wire bus (not shown) is coupled from the switches within the textile to the connector 202 in the holster. The connector 202 in the holster engages a connector in the portable electronic device 104 as described above. When the textile keypad 902 is deployed or unwrapped from the holster 101, weights within the outer edges 802 and 804 hold the textile keypad flat in the open position 900. Upon releasing the textile keypad 902 from the wrapped position and unfolded into the open position 900, power is applied to the textile UI 702.
The holster 101 is shown with the belt clip 110 visible in
While the invention has been described in detail above, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific embodiments as described. It is evident that those skilled in the art may now make numerous uses, modifications of, and departures from the specific embodiments described herein without departing from the inventive concepts.

since when???UniServity, the leading BECTA Learning Platform provider
UniServity - Capita partnership delivers great news to schools
Alan Wood, CEO, UniServity commented: "This partnership unites two leading education partners who are both passionate and committed to supporting teaching and learning, and more importantly the way people learn. The new partnership will see the development of the most integrated solution for managing pupil data, supporting learning, and sharing information with parents and other key stakeholders
Get a room
UniServity, the leading BECTA Learning Platform provider, and Capita SIMS, the market leader in Management Information Systems to the Education and Children's Services Sector, have announced a landmark partnership which will accelerate the realisation of the Government's vision of a fully integrated Management Information System (MIS) and Learning Platform for the benefit of schools, learners, parents and carers.
Local Authorities (LAs) and schools will benefit from the simplified management and reduced workload of integrating 'real-time' Capita SIMS.net pupil data directly into the dynamic teaching and learning environment of the UniServity cLc (connected Learning communities) Learning Platform.
since when???UniServity, the leading BECTA Learning Platform provider
Uniservity is a very poor VLE for Secondary Schools, it is better suited for primary schools. Moodle is currently head shoulders and a large ladder ahead of uniservity.
As for the "Local Authorities (LAs) and schools will benefit from the simplified management and reduced workload of integrating real-time Capita SIMS.net pupil data directly into the dynamic teaching and learning environment of the UniServity cLc (connected Learning communities) Learning Platform." This will be available when i find the end of a piece of string, uniservity use this as a major selling point and it isn't available until the earliest September but no guarantee!
We have been able to get hold of the SIMS.net IMS integration documentation and hopefully look to implement a moodle module to allow write back to sims in the months ahead, once ready we will release to the community. If this happen uniservity will be hard pressed to get people to move from moodle to uniservity.
sorry rant over.
Just to clarify the integration we were told about by uniservity was that we would be able to write back data into assessment manager in about septemberish at the earliest but Moodle and SMIS a capita bod has confirmed that this is not currently possible as the feature hasn't been created in IMS.
Does uniservity run on all platforms or just the ones you pay through the nose for?
SIMS.net should be supporting Open Source as well as commercial products.
Why do education sector businesses seem to think that schools have never ending wads of cash?
With all of the licensing and software (with additional add ons) that schools now have to buy into because LEAs don't want to use anything else its beginning to get to the point where your budget is used just for licensees alone.
Or is it just me?
Capita get into bed with Uniservity...
oerrrrrrr....which one is wearing the strapon.....!
You're presuming they have a choice?
There's no financial incentive for Capita to support open source; open source counters their money-making priorities. Unless forced to by law, they probably never will do.
So there is absolutely nothing to stop Open Source fans from using IMS to link to Moodle. We don't charge extra for the IMS links and they are fully documented.
There's still something to stop OS 'fans' (or teachers for that matter) from using OpenOffice and SIMS - capita hard coding the xml so that only MSoffice can open it !
Do Capita publish 3rd party interface documentation (TPID) to allow write back directly to the database? Currently the IMS documentation doesn't cover writing back to the database - yet Uniservity claim this functionality (or is it vapourware>?
Pars allows writing directly back to the database for attendance, are Captia willing to publish this to OSS developers?.
The VLE is hosted by them, if that is what you're talking about. Each school then gets a URL to their VLE installation.Does uniservity run on all platforms or just the ones you pay through the nose for?

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/14/14
The Orioles, building on their early season momentum, are close to signing center fielder Adam Jones to a club-record contract extension, major-league sources say. The deal, according to one source, will be "well north" of the two largest deals in team history - Miguel Tejada's six-year, $72 million free-agent deal and Nick Markakis' six-year, $66.1 million extension. Jones, 26, is eligible for free agency after next season. He has emerged as a leader, offensive centerpiece and defensive stalwart for the Orioles, who entered Friday with a 28-17 record, the best in the American League. The signing of Jones is almost certain to be well-received in Baltimore, where the Orioles are trying to end their streak of 14 consecutive losing seasons. Jones is among the league leaders in several offensive categories. He ranks fourth with a .958 OPS, is tied for second with 14 homers and also is tied for eighth with 29 RBIs.

Jennifer Lopez has a big Super Bowl date this year: President Barack Obama.Along with two United States, the American Idol judge and her husband Marc Anthony will be watching the Super Bowl at the White House Sunday.

Also on the White House's Super Bowl party guest list: • Attorney General Eric Holder • Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano • Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) • Senator Robert Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.) • Congressman Reid Ribble (R-Wisc.) • Former Wisconsin governor Jim Doyle • Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz (D) • Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D)

It's for the top assistant. Assuming that all are coordinators, you're potentially talking about the top 20 offensive coordinators and top 20 defensive coordinators. I think there are 128 FBS teams, so that's still pretty dang good.

There's no "right" or "wrong" when the OP is stating his opinion.
Is your only criterion for winning the Broyles Award being the #1 team in the country? If so, how do you choose between selecting the OC or the DC for the #1 team in the country?
Also, I'm not saying Chavis wasn't responsible for some of this, but that LSU defense was stacked with Tyrann Mathieu, Morris Claiborne, Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery, Eric Reid, Michael Brockers, etc.
Meanwhile, the only defensive player from that 2011 Michigan team to have been drafted is Mike Martin, a 3rd rounder. Granted, there are still some possibilities to still get drafted (Jake Ryan, Frank Clark, Blake Countess, etc.), but considering that was three years ago, you're talking about guys who were freshmen at the time. Mattison made hay with Ryan Van Bergen (out of football), Jordan Kovacs (a walk-on who's a fringe NFL player), Thomas Gordon (out of football, AFAIK), Kenny Demens (undrafted, special teamer for the Cardinals), Craig Roh (undrafted, out of football), etc.
Great coaching isn't about taking great players and allowing them to be great. It's about making the sum greater than the individual parts.

I went to a clinic a couple years ago where a JUCO coach from California was talking about his offense from California. He said they ran the same passing play (out of slightly different formations) roughly 50% of the time. They just gave the QB and receivers a couple different options depending on what the defense did, so as long as the OL and RB could protect, the defense would always be "wrong." Obviously, triple option teams, zone read option teams, etc. do the same thing in the run game, but you can do it through the pass, too.

I don't "blame" him, either, but I do agree with the commenter at the top of the thread (Mat, I believe) who says that Brian's breakdowns are sort of what separate him from a lot of fans when it comes to analysis. I often disagree with him about his analysis, but at least I know that he has some kind of rationale for saying something when he says it. If he ceases doing the UFR's, as that commenter said, it becomes more about his "feelings" and "opinions."
Again, it's free content, and he doesn't really owe us anything. I won't blame anyone for not doing work when I'm not paying them. But it does sort of whittle away a little bit of credibility if we look back at this game in the future.

I'm certainly hoping you're not boiling down their seasons to one play. No, Funchess isn't a hustler just because he chased down Ibraheim Campbell. There are too many other examples of him being lackadaisical.
On the flip side, Jourdan Lewis has been our best corner this year, has made multiple hustle plays (this one, the play against Utah, etc.), and has been right in receivers' hip pockets all year.

|What does your list of player
What does your list of player transgressions have to do with anything? The Gibbons thing happened before Hoke was hired, and he was subsequently not allowed to play once the university appealed things. Frank Clark was punished (1 game suspension) for the laptop thing, and he was then booted from the team when he screwed up again. Taylor Lewan got in a fight after his last home game of his senior year. Csont'e York was booted from the team immediately. Hagerup was suspended for a year. Stonum was suspended for a year.
All of these guys were punished, with the exception of Taylor Lewan (who, if I remember correctly, had sort of a my-word-against-his defense).
You can't stop college kids from getting into trouble. All you can do is punish them and hope that it doesn't happen again/they learn their lesson. Fitzgerald Toussaint was also suspended for one game, and he never had any more issues. Hagerup was suspended for last year, and he hasn't had any incidents this year.
Some guys learn. Some guys don't. That's the way the world works.

|It's not that much of a
It's not that much of a surprise. Michigan has a lot of talent on the offensive line. Maybe it's taking them longer to realize their potential than at some other schools, but we're running out two redshirt juniors, two redshirt sophomores, and a true freshman on the offensive line.
Last year was frustrating because the interior of the line was young/bad, and having a G-C-G combination is bound to screw up the whole offense. You can get away with mediocre tackles when the interior guys are solid, because you can chip with backs, help with tight ends, roll away from pressure, etc.
I've been pointing to 2014 for a few years as the time when Michigan would see an upward trajectory with the running game. And while I thought Michigan would be better by now, at least some of that can be blamed on Gardner, Funchess, the running backs, and Green's injury.

|For a comparison, look at
For a comparison, look at Eric Ebron. Ebron caught 62 balls for 973 yards (15.7 yards/catch) and 3 touchdowns last year for UNC. Funchess has been playing WR, where there's more opportunity for big plays, yet he has 55 catches for just 625 yards, which is only 11.4 yards/catch.
I don't think any NFL team will take a chance on him early in the draft unless he absolutely lights it up against Ohio State and (if a miracle happens) in the bowl game. If he has a game like Gallon had against OSU last year (9 catches, 175 yards, 1 touchdown) and a bowl game like Adrian Arrington had several years ago, then he's back in the discussion for the first round. Otherwise, any coach/GM is going to have a very, very hard time explaining to his team's fans why they drafted a tight end who doesn't make big plays, drops so many footballs, and refuses to block.

Yeah, it happened in the Notre Dame game. He missed the next game and was gimpy for a couple weeks after that, but it shouldn't be affecting him at this point. At least not to the point where he looks lackadaisical 75% of the time.

|"Saturday though we saw that
"Saturday though we saw that he's lost several players, or at least they've become disinterested. Funchess and Lewis among them."
Funchess has been disinterested for the last several weeks, but I have no clue what you're talking about with Lewis. Has Hoke "lost" him because he roughed the kicker? Or because he misread the C.J. Brown QB sweep touchdown?
You can screw up as a player without being disinterested, lost, a quitter, etc. I think your comment about Lewis is both off the mark and potentially hurtful. If I remember correctly, Lewis was the one guy who chased down a breakaway run by Brown that could have otherwise turned into a touchdown.

Welcome to Employers Association of the NorthEast.
Paragus Strategic IT of Hadley, MA and R.H. White Construction Companies, based in Auburn, MA, received their Employer of Choice awards at EANE's Employment Law and HR Practices Conference on Tuesday, November 4th in Sturbridge, MA.
Paragus Strategic IT employees attend 90 to 100 hours of learning and development each year and, in 2012, the company was ranked by Inc. Magazine as one of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the U.S.
R.H. White Construction Companies celebrated its 90th anniversary last year with a goal to raise $90,000 for local charities; the company actually raised $156,000. It provides over $700,000 in safety related training to employees annually.
Meredith Wise, President of EANE, said "Both R.H. White and Paragus have succeeded in creating amazing workplace cultures which maximize employee engagement, creativity and organizational success. They are truly connected to their communities, contributing financially as well as with staff time and talent to various charities and events."
Winners of the Employer of Choice award are recognized for developing a culture for transforming and rewarding employee performance. Entrants are judged in categories that include: company culture, training and development, communication, recognition and reward, and work-life balance. Employers who have been in business for at least three years and have a minimum of 25 employees are eligible to participate; both the company size and its resources are considered in the screening and selection process. Sponsored by EANE and the Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, the award has been given since 2011
The WorkForce Training Fund recently launched the Regional Training Capacity Pilot Program. All training providers across the Commonwealth were invited to submit. They received an amazing 34 applications and only 11 were chosen through a very competitive process. Unfortunately, EANE was not one of the top eleven.
Although we are unable to offer Massachusetts employers FREE seats through the Pilot Program, we have outlined multiple options that your company may qualify for under the Workforce Training Fund. Please join us for one of our briefings or a webinar to review the details. Register Here.

Good-looking Kanade Amakusa would prefer nothing more than to have a normal high school life. But due to his "Absolute Choice", a mental curse compelling him to decide between two outrageous options such as sniffing a smutty magazine on the ground versus eating it in public, everyone thinks he's a total weirdo! One day, the boy chooses that a beautiful girl will fall from the sky, and much to his surprise, his choice becomes reality! Her name is Chocolat, and she's come with a message: God will strike a deal with Kanade in the form of missions that might just cure his suffering. Sounds trouble-free enough compared to what he's already gone through - except they're on a whole other level of extreme craziness than the choices he already makes daily! Can Kanade successfully clear these outrageous challenges, or will he be forever rejected by his classmates and remain an outcast?!

In a promtional interview with Larry King for his upcoming film IDENTITY THIEF, Jason Bateman confirmed some monumental news for ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT fans: a big-screen adaptation is underway.
"There's a big story that the showrunner wants to tell - this guy Mitch Hurwitz, this smart guy. And the story was too big...every time he'd try to fit it all in one movie, it wouldn't work," Bateman tells King. "So he decided to put sort of the first third of it in these episodes we have shot that are going be on Netflix in May - and Act 2 and Act 3 will be inside a movie that we will do later."
The movie, should the plans hold up following its premiere on Netflix, could potentially go into production this year.
Netflix commissioned a fourth season of Hurwitz's ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT in early 2012, securing original cast members and an all-star lineup of guest stars including ConanO'Brien and Liza Minnelli.
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT centers around Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) and his eccentric family comprised of his son George Michael (Michael Cera), his father George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), his mother Lucille (Jessica Walter), his brothers George Oscar Bluth II (Will Arnett), Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) and sister Lindsay Funke (PORTIA DE ROSSI), and Lindsay's husband Tobias (David Cross) and their daughter Maeby (Alia Shawkat).

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Farmers' pardons another slap in the face
Harper's act of clemency hits at CWB
As the new marketing era dawned Aug. 1, Canada's prime minister took his revisionist view of history and his ideological vendetta against the Canadian Wheat Board to a new level.
He retroactively pardoned farmers convicted of running the border with their grain trucks in the early 1990s as a protest, and who defied customs officers by stealing their compounded vehicles back. Some were later convicted of contempt of court.
Stephen Harper turned to the rarely used Royal Prerogative of Mercy to issue these pardons, saying these self-declared freedom fighters were courageous for standing up to an unjust law.
"Let me be clear about this, these people were not criminals; they were our fellow citizens, who protested injustice by submitting themselves peacefully to the consequences of challenging that injustice. Those consequences are what was wrong," Harper told his audience.
Did all of those charged get pardons? Citing privacy laws, the government won't tell us.
Usually, people who receive a pardon under the federal justice system ask for one. The Parole Board of Canada considers those requests against some clearly spelled-out criteria before recommending clemency.
First of all, there must be evidence of substantial injustice or undue hardship that is out of proportion to the nature and the seriousness of the offence and the resulting consequences.
"In general terms, the notions of injustice and hardship imply that the suffering which is being experienced could not be foreseen at the time the sentence was imposed. In addition, there must be clear evidence that the injustice and/or the hardship exceed the normal consequences of a conviction and sentence."
The truth is, some farmers didn't like being required to pool their grain through the CWB. They wanted to sell directly to customers in the United States and they couldn't persuade either the duly elected government of the day or the courts to embrace their world view. Their protest was designed to provoke the response it got by leaving authorities with no choice but to enforce the laws of the day.
In fact, the protesters were counting on it. Some deliberately chose jail time rather than pay fines.
As well, "the exercise of the Royal Prerogative of Mercy is not intended to circumvent other existing legislation," the criteria state.
"An act of executive clemency will not be considered where the difficulties experienced by an individual applicant result from the normal consequences of the application of the law." In other words, any Canadians who decide to run the border can expect to find themselves in court and lose the keys to their vehicles for a spell.
"Furthermore, the Royal Prerogative of Mercy is not a mechanism to review the merits of existing legislation, or those of the justice system in general," the PBC site states.
"The exercise of the Royal Prerogative of Mercy will not interfere with a court's decision when to do so would result in the mere substitution of the discretion of the Governor General, or the Governor in Council, for that of the courts. There must exist clear and strong evidence of an error in law, of excessive hardship and/or inequity, beyond that which could have been foreseen at the time of the conviction and sentencing," the criteria state.
It appears the Harper government wants to be remembered as being "tough on crime," except when it involves laws with which it disagrees.
The courts found farmers involved in these publicity stunts were guilty as charged and that opinion held up on appeal. "The appellants were properly charged for violating Section 114 of the Customs Act. The trial judge found that customs officers, acting in the scope of their duties, did seize the vehicles, and that the appellants did wilfully evade the customs officers' attempts to place those vehicles into custody," Madam Justice C.L. Kenny wrote in upholding their convictions.
In honouring these protesters, Harper ignores the polls that showed the silent majority of farmers in Western Canada actually supported the CWB monopoly. Despite a bit of grumbling now and again, they consistently elected a majority of directors who supported the single desk. This is presumably why this law-and-order government ignored the law that required a producer plebiscite before making changes.
The majority Harper government had the ability to bring about changes to western grain marketing without resorting to tactics that abuse both power and process. Stunts like this expose the 'straw-man argument' on which this whole purge was based.
Any relief that comes from knowing Harper is running out of ways to stomp, tromp and rub people's noses in his government's decimation of the Canadian Wheat Board is tempered by the question of what he will turn his attention to next.

Study: Flag won't fly legally
Daily Variety
Copyright 2005 Reed Elsevier Inc.
June 2, 2005, Thursday
Washington — Hollywood's effort to capture the broadcast flag may have been made more difficult by a recent report prepared for Congress.
"Copyright Protection of Digital Television: The Broadcast Flag," prepared by Congress' exclusive research arm, suggests that the DTV antipiracy technology might interfere with legitimate copying uses. Report also suggests that critics of the technology may be right in their assertions that it will stifle innovation and violate First Amendment rights.
A spokesman for the Motion Picture Assn. of America, which has supported broadcast flag, disagreed with that interpretation, saying the report is mainly "speculative in nature."
Last month, a federal appeals court threw out rules that the Federal Communications Commission promulgated requiring manufacturers of certain television sets, personal computers and VCRs to include broadcast flag technology, which is intended to prevent rampant illegal copying and distribution of digital content on the Internet (Daily Variety, May 9). The court said the FCC lacked the authority to issue the rules.
Broadcast flag proponents, chiefly the MPAA, have since turned to Congress, hoping it will enact legislation giving the FCC the necessary authority. But the report raises questions as to whether such legislation would withstand a court challenge.
"While the broadcast flag is intended to prevent the indiscriminate redistribution of (digitally broadcast) content over the Internet or through similar means, the goal of the flag was not to impede a consumer's ability to copy or use content lawfully in the home, nor was the policy intended to foreclose use of the Internet to send digital broadcast content where it can be adequately protected from indiscriminate redistribution," the report states.
"However," the report continues, "current (broadcast flag) limitations have the potential to hinder some activities which might normally be considered 'fair use' under existing copyright law."
Consumer electronics and information technology groups criticized broadcast flag rules because their attendant licensing terms for approving flag-compliant devices are too vague and thus could stifle innovation. The report notes that, before the court threw out the rules, the FCC had yet to establish clear criteria for evaluating whether devices are compliant though the agency had promised to do so.
Moreover, civil libertarians and consumer-rights groups complained that the FCC's broadcast flag rules contained no exemption for public interest content, news or works in the public domain.
"The FCC has so far declined to adopt language to prevent content providers from using the broadcast flag on such programs," the report concludes, "largely because of the practical and legal difficulties of determining which types of broadcast content merit protection from indiscriminate redistribution and which do not," thus constituting potentially serious First Amendment issues.
The report implies that the rules would have to be revised or clarified before Congress passes any legislation giving promulgating authority to the FCC. Revisions could delay any congressional action by months.
"We've been raising these issues all along," said Mike Godwin, legal director for Public Knowledge, one of the groups that have opposed the FCC rules. "This report shows that, yes, some lawful uses are going to be restricted" if Congress were to reinstate the existing rules by legislation. "It also shows that the state of technology today is such that, even if you think you're just preventing redistribution over the Internet, other legitimate uses will be prevented, too."
The most significant point about the report, Godwin added, is that "this is not from an advocacy group. This is a report with no ax to grind."
However, John Feehery, MPAA spokesman and a former congressional staffer long familiar with these types of reports, said that the report authors were "just doing what they're supposed to do, show all sides of an issue."
The section listing the possible legal and constitutional problems with the existing rules merely reflect what opponents have been saying, he said. "There's nothing new here," Feehery added. The problems, he said, "are all speculative in nature. Some people have been saying those problems would occur, but obviously we don't think they would happen."

very nice mr sherry… the subtle details like the blood dripping on the shoe really bring this home.
Gotta love the blood drips :o)
– Simon Sherry
Cool design, but I always thought a Jack was like a knave, a male title.
True, but I figure I can play with convention when I'm already going the non-traditional route ;o)
– Simon Sherry
she`s hawt!
HaHaHa i thought it was a dude at first being Jack and all…
hmmm…impressive but rather unchiseled pecs!
how old is she?…like 21?
Pick a number, and remove enough years to make her too young for you ;o)
– Simon Sherry
Very cool Simon. Looks like the set is complete. Or are the numbers still to come?
Cheers – still got two jokers and the numbers, so there's still a bit of work left ;o)
– Simon Sherry
I admire you for your dedication.
I'm not sure if this brand of insanity should be admired mate, but thanks anyway ;o)
PS – we will have to actually turn up at the same golf game with Dave shortly!
– Simon Sherry
Funk YEAH! Head swelling sufficiently for all the Deack love?
Nah – I've got a head somewhat akin to an Easter Island statue anyway (and about as thick), so this isn't swelling it too much ;o)
– Simon Sherry
That's so awesome :)
Very nice work, on all of them!
