The perennial call for higher salaries in the New York legislature was heard again this week, although it's probably more of a whisper at this point.
For years now, local police departments have been playing an increasingly pivotal role in enforcing federal immigration laws.
On Monday morning, Capital New York published an eye-popping report that suggests a federal fracking study commissioned by the Cuomo administration was edited, and later delayed, by the same administration when it became clear that study was going to "result in a number of politically inconvenient c ...

Re-electing Governor Andrew Cuomo is a vote for nuclear war, criminality and general disaster.

Johnson ran against his challenger ... More >>
The first time most Americans saw Sulaiman Abu Ghayth was in a grainy videotape released shortly after 9-11. He was sitting cross-legged, in a white cap and a brown robe, on a stone outcropping somewhere high in the Afghan mountains. Sitting immediately to his left was Osama Bin Laden.
There was a debate in the governor's race scheduled last night, but, as expected, only one candidate showed up.

Neo-Academic coverage of the Journal of General Psychology special issue on the psychology of video games:
- Is Video Game Research Influenced by the Media?
- Does Personality Predict Vulnerability to Violence in Games?
- Can Spatial Cognition Be Trained with Video Games?
- How Do We Design Effective Video Games for Learning?
- Can Video Games Be Used in Health Care?
- Should Children with Autism Play Video Games?
- Should Video Games Be Used in Therapy?
- Can Video Games Get People to Vote?
- How Do Video Games Motivate People?
- How Do Typical Gamers Play Games?
There are few topics so hotly debated on the Internet as the value of video games. Are they the next generation's artistic advance, as film was for the last, or are they a blight that makes children overly aggressive and dangerous?
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm coming to this debate from the perspective of I/O psychology – I have an interest in the business value of games from a professional perspective. From a personal perspective, I have played games most of my life. My first game was Janitor Joe (though I played it as "Jump Joe"), a 1984 DOS game that I played on an IBM PCjr, which you can still play on your own computer. I have since owned an NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, PlayStation 2, XBOX 360 and Wii. So yes, I am probably in the demographic of "gamer" (although perhaps a little Nintendo-heavy).
Having said that, my overall viewpoint so far can be summarized, "If you think video games are bad for your kids, don't let your kids play video games – leave the adults alone." While the arguments were amusing to watch, I have never had a personal stake in it one way or the other. Take that as you will.
What caught my eye was a special issue in Journal of General Psychology on video games. Most of the articles are qualitative literature reviews of video game research across a wide variety of domains. My curiosity piqued, I decided to dig into this special issue to discover what truths about the value of video games it might contain. What follows is an article-by-article discussion of what I found:
The first article is a theory-based article by Christopher Ferguson[1] on the portrayal of video games as "good" or "bad." Ferguson argues that the negative effects of video games may have been exaggerated not only in the media, but also within the scientific community. He discusses the causal hypothesis, which refers to the idea that media violence causes aggressive behavior. Regardless of the specific context (video games, film, novels), the causal hypothesis has been a driving force in scientific inquiry in this domain, despite little credible evidence of a link.
Perhaps the most interesting pieces of research he discusses are the investigations of links between increased crime in the 1960s and the introduction of televisions roughly 20 years earlier. Though it is certainly true that crime was higher in the late 1960s than it was in the 1940s, there's no reason to think that the presence of televisions was the cause.
This was in fact the classic error of inferring causation from correlation. Interestingly, youth violence crime is currently at the lowest point is has been since about 1966. The correlation between youth violence and video game sales is -.95, an extremely strong negative correlation. No one would claim that increased video game sales decrease youth violence, and yet this is just as much evidence as was available to researchers claiming that violent television increased violence. Neither conclusion is credible.
So what's been happening? It seems that a somewhat one-sided increased media coverage of violent video games (from three perspectives: announcements of new violent video games, condemnations of those games by nonresearchers, and almost any effort to tie violent video games to real behavior) is associated with increased scientific publication in this domain. Researchers, Ferguson argues, are taking advantage of moral panics in order to promote themselves. This wouldn't be a problem except that most research on the link between video games and aggression is weak at best. Surprising to me, even the 2005 APA resolution on video game violence was apparently written by researchers citing principally their own work.
The most interesting piece for me personally was the discussion of Kato, Cole, Bradlyn & Pollock (2008)[2], who used a violent first-person shooter video game called Re-Mission to successfully increase self-efficacy, understanding of cancer, and adherence to proscribed cancer treatments in young cancer patients. The video game was both violent and an effective medium to improve learning in an audience typically difficult to reach. I bet the same would be true of adults.Footnotes:

Meet Content Analyst, the innovators behind the powerful CAAT analytics engine and a new member of the SIIA's Content Division. We sat down with Content Analyst's VP of Marketing, Steven Toole, to learn more about this unique company as well as emerging trends in analytics.
Kathy: Tell me about Content Analyst Company. What do you do?
Steven: Content Analyst Company provides a powerful and proven Concept-aware Advanced Analytics engine that exponentially reduces the time needed to discern relevant information from unstructured data. CAAT®, our dynamic suite of text analytics technologies, delivers significant value wherever knowledge workers need to extract insights from large amounts of unstructured data. Our capabilities are easily integrated into any software solution, and our support strategy for our partners is second to none.
Kathy: What kinds of companies does Content Analyst look to partner with?
Steven: We license our CAAT advanced analytics engine to software companies, information services providers and systems integrators that are looking to dramatically improve their end customers' ability to find, organize and discover relevant information among large collections of unstructured data.
CAAT is proven effective with dozens of software product companies in the areas of e-discovery, US Intelligence and several
other markets involving vast amounts of unstructured documents and emails.
We partner with companies in the areas of information services, email and enterprise archiving, compliance, web content management, social media, and other markets defined by unstructured content in great volumes.
Our ideal partner has a customer-driven need to better organize unstructured data, a development team to work with our Product Solutions Group to integrate our software APIs, and a vision to address end customers' need to organize unstructured data more effectively.
Kathy: Who does Content Analyst sell to?
Steven: Content Analyst Company licenses our proprietary CAAT concept-aware advanced analytics engine to software companies, information services companies, and systems integrators looking to provide their end customers with more effective ways to find, organize and discover relevant content amidst large volumes of unstructured documents, email, and web content.
Kathy: What is unique about what Content Analyst does?
Steven: Unlike Boolean keyword search, or other natural language processing technologies, CAAT uses concept-aware advanced analytics. CAAT does not require the use of any dictionaries, thesauri, ontologies or libraries in order to derive conceptual meaning from a set of unstructured content. Rather, CAAT uses example documents or sections of text to define a category. CAAT then identifies conceptually similar content among millions of entries, regardless of misspellings, acronyms, abbreviations, etc. In addition, CAAT's capabilities can be applied in any language – again, without any cross-referencing, dictionaries or word libraries.
The CAAT suite of full capabilities includes example based auto-categorization, conceptual search, content summarization, dynamic clustering, email threading, text near duplicate identification and conceptual near duplicate identification.
In addition, Content Analyst Company is committed to developing mutually successful, long term partnerships with the companies that license our technology. Content Analyst provides advanced analytics training and certification, code reviews, and full integration support of our CAAT advanced analytics APIs. Content Analyst continuously innovates our CAAT advanced analytics engine, with a semi-annual product release schedule. ContentCare® is Content Analyst's partner support program, providing comprehensive resources designed to ensure partners' success with the CAAT advanced analytics engine.
Kathy: What do you see as the biggest trends in the industry in the next 12-18 months?
Steven: Software companies whose applications manage unstructured content know that Big Data is very real, and the need to manage and effectively use the data provides an opportunity for all of us.
Software companies and information services companies are starting to realize that semantic advanced analytics technology can understand the 'meaning' of unstructured documents, and is a key in the drive to taming the unstructured content of big data. Software companies that have products for enterprise content management, archiving and compliance; social media monitoring, and human capital management – all face the challenges of managing vast amounts of unstructured content. By taking a small number of documents as examples, and using concept-aware auto categorization to say "go find more like these," the potential impact on taming big data is amazing.
Despite the hype around big data, few will disagree that it poses challenges and benefits if managed properly, and fewer still will disagree that it's going away anytime soon. Relying on manual taxonomies is simply not practical, as the volume, velocity and variety of content comprising big data accelerates virtually at the speed of thought.
Concept-aware auto categorization has proven itself as a highly effective, extremely fast and incredibly precise approach in legal e-discovery and US intelligence. The possibilities are endless for applying this technology to address the major obstacles big data poses, while simultaneously harvesting the broad benefits big data stands to offer.
Kathy: What does Content Analyst hope to get out of its SIIA Membership?
Steven: Content Analyst believes that software and information services companies can drive strong incremental value for their customers through the concept aware auto categorization technology that CAAT has long provided in e-discovery and US Intelligence. Content Analyst joined SIIA to help educate members about game-changing advanced analytics that can help differentiate software and information solutions dealing with large amounts of unstructured content, documents and email. We invite all SIIA members to take a look at CAAT by Content Analyst and schedule a live demonstration at www.ContentAnalyst.com.
Kathy: Is there any recent news that you'd like to announce?
Steven: For nearly 10 years, Content Analyst Company has focused heavily on providing advanced analytics to vendors in the e-discovery and US Intelligence communities. We joined SIIA in early 2013 to expand on our proven success in these markets, and forge technology alliances with software and information services companies looking to provide robust text analytics capabilities for their customers, in any language.
In June 2013, we introduced CAAT Definer 1.0, – the world's first GUI-based concept-aware utility that facilitates the process of identifying the highest quality conceptual auto categorization examples – in any language. Quite simply, CAAT Definer helps users define high quality example sets for maximum accuracy and precision in concept based auto categorization.

Aphids found at threshold in area wheat fields
Bird Cherry Oat Aphids were seen at threshold levels in wheat fields when Jill Scheidt, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Barton County, scouted area fields on April 10.
"Bird Cherry Oat Aphids are small green insects identified by a red ring around their rear with cornicles, which appear to look like tailpipes," said Scheidt.
Threshold levels for Bird Cherry Oat Aphid are 10 per foot if wheat is 60 days or more past emergence. A rate of 3.2 ounces per acre Warrior or 3.6 ounces per acre Mustang Max is recommended to control aphids.
"Bird Cherry Oat Aphids vector Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus, which causes stunting of plants and possible yield loss and should be treated for until the flag leaf is present," Scheidt said.
Powdery mildew continues to fade in area fields and is unlikely to need treatment. Look for powdery mildew, a gray to white mold on leaves, during the flag leaf stage. If a disease is present on the flag leaf or moving up the plant toward the flag leaf, a fungicide application is recommended.
Yellowing was also seen in low areas of wheat fields due to temporary nutrient deficiency caused by excessive water in low areas.
"The majority of wheat is looking healthy and green and may begin jointing soon. Jointing stage is identified by locating the main stem and running your fingers along the stem, beginning at the base, until you feel a bump. Jointing has begun when the bump is easily identified and if the stem is cut open, the wheat head can be found beginning to form," said Scheidt.
Alfalfa weevils have been seen at threshold levels. According to MU state entomologist Wayne Bailey, to determine threshold levels collect 10 random stems and bang them in a bucket. If you collect one weevil per stem or close to that treatment is justified. A medium rate of Warrior II, Lorsban or Pincap is suggested.
The weekly field scouting report is sponsored by University of Missouri Extension and Barton County Extension.

July 8, 2009
Albemarle County's Board of Supervisors voted Wednesday night to strengthen certain aspects of the county's animal ordinance, including reducing the burden for animal noise complaints and expanding the leash law.
After several hours of public comment, supervisors voted to change the language of the dog-barking ordinance they passed in 2008. Now, instead of the standard being that a dog "unreasonably disturbs the peace and quiet, comfort, or repose of any person," the noise of the animal only has to be "audible on the property of the complainant."
Another change impacts unattended dogs on property belonging to either the county or to someone other than their owners.
One change supervisors decided not to make to the animal ordinance has to do with the five-acre rural areas exception. Under last year's ordinance, property owners living on five acres or more were immune from animal noise complaints. After much debate, supervisors decided not to lift the exception on those rural property owners.
For some dog owners in Albemarle County, their pet's barking could cost them big bucks. The board of supervisors passed an ordinance last year, making it a misdemeanor for an owner's dog to bark for more than 30 minutes straight.
Right now, that does not cover owners on more than five acres of land and noises made by livestock. But officials are now looking into the possibility of repealing the ordinance or expanding it to the entire county, re-igniting a very noisy debate.
"I deal with two to three hours at times of dog barking," said James Dubovsky, a proponent of the ordinance. "Sometimes, it's in the daytime; sometimes, it's at night. When it's at night, that's when I experience my sleep deprivation."
"It's like me calling you 1 in the morning, then calling you 1:30 in the morning, and calling you 2 in the morning and expecting you not to respond to it," said Dubovsky.
"I just don't think the board should be expanding something that's already been shown that it doesn't work and hasn't been successful," said George Urban, an opponent of the ordinance.
Violators of the ordinance face up to a $500 fine.

River Vale - new to area - need recs
I just moved a few weeks ago from Englewood Cliffs to River Vale.
Looking for recommendations in River Vale, Westwood & other neighboring areas.
Here are a few I have been to:
Jacks Cafe - love it
Backwoods - love it
Iron Horse - good staple
Daniel - love it
Any other recs?
My favorite place is the Greek Village in Northvale. It's close to River Vale. BYOB, It's pretty small, if you don't go early you may have a short wait. It's greek homestyle cooking. Also - here's a thread you might find helpful.
re: michele cindy
The Greek Village is Very Good and this coming from a Greek person who has spent many summers eatting her way through Greece.
The food is tasty and consistant and the prices are very reasonable however the small space usually leads to long wait times.
re: Gorgonzilla
Forgot to mention Porquoi Pas in Westwood.
For a nice Italian Dinner try Valentino's in Park Ridge. The food is very good and the staff is always on point.
Another good place is Bacari Grill in Washington Township.
re: sixelagogo
Taste of Spain is in Northvale on Tappan Rd. I haven't been there in MANY years. When I did go I found it not to be as good as those good places in Newark, but they had a very similar menu. I'm not even sure if it is still open. For this type of food, w/o travelling to Newark the best I found has been at Segovia, in Moonachie.
re: michele cindy
Segovia is fabulous however there is always a huge wait. If you can handle the wait it it worth it.
El Cid in Paramus is pretty good and closer option to Rivervale but Segovia is better if you want to take the extra 10 minute drive.
re: NJfoodLover
Taste of Spain is actually still open. I don't live that far from it but have not been there. I am hoping to try it out soon.
re: sixelagogo
Well, we've been to Daniel several times and every experience has been different. The first time was great. We all enjoyed appetizers/salads and each of us had a different fish entree. One of the diners is probably the most critical eater of all time, and even she said it was fabulous. The next few times got a little less exciting and a little more common. It's been kind of hit or miss. If you're there on a "hit" night, you'll be happy. Again, first time service was great, the next few times, not even close. I would give it one more try.
re: michele cindy
Been there a few times, mostly for bar food and once for dinner. We thought it was good (2 1/2 stars). Bar food is adequate, good pizza. A place to stop in for a snack without being overly expensive.
Also try Harvest in Closter - the food is quite good; Kazuki Sushi in River Vale is decent as well

That's lovely, I have a 4 & 1/2 year old who is starting P1 in September and I always worry about her not knowing enough. Reading this has made me feel guilty now as I don't spend as much time with her doing stuff as I should and having just had a baby it's even harder to give her my time

Travelin Through Lyrics - Dolly Parton
Review The Song (6)
Well I can't tell you where I'm going, I'm not sure of where I've been
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit
Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' on
Questions I have many, answers but a few
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me
God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly
Goodbye little children, goodnight you handsome men
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru

Touches my heart | Reviewer: Chris | 3/25/13
Here I am writing my first review. I heard about this song tonight and very thankful Ive now heard it (many many times !). I know the song was written for Transamerica movie which is on my To Watch list now! I'm not Part of this group but am a gay male. How the song speaks to me is about the hard road Ive travelled being a gastric bypass patient. I've lost 343 pounds and have been called names by both child and adult alike. Also been critized for "taking the easy road" which is quite the contrary if people truly knew how difficult the surgery is.
To all of my brothers and sisters that this song speaks to, please know you aren't alone and Id give each and every one of you a hug and moral support. Keep traveling and I pray your journey is as successful as mine has been. I will share a saying my mom use to tell me when is cry after school when kids were cruel "Always remember that as long as those mean and hateful people are picking on you , that means they are leaving someone else alone who couldnt handled the hatred. You are strong and you are loved for you !" Hugs everyone. -- Chris --
Anthem of acceptance | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/22/13
Heard this song for the first time today; i had to research the lyrics to make sure that I heard them correctly. This song should be sung in every house of worship in the world. What a wonderful expression of acceptance and tolerance. It truly is an anthem of self-acceptance and self-love. I am just sorry that it took me so long to learn about it. Evelyn

Dolly rocks! I am in no way religious (spiritual, but not religious), but I suspect this woman is an angel walking around disguised as a human.
I'm also f2M and appreciate that such a well-respected artist added so much to the message of this film by, once again, showing the courage to speak the truth.
Rock on, Dolly!
Thank you, Dolly! | Reviewer: Joel | 4/23/09
I am a transgender man (female to male), and this song is a real inspriation. It's wonderful coming from my favorite female artist of all time, and this song lifts me when I am down. The lyrics are beautiful, and the voice behind the lyrics is even more amazing.
I just want to say THANK YOU DOLLY!
Love it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/1/07
this is an uplifting song, when i feel down or when im driving i love to blast this up on the cd player :) thank you dolly
great | Reviewer: Jerry | 11/11/06

November 20, 2014
There's quite a view as you run along the Ohio River up in Jackson Co., West Virginia, where you're likely to see the Ravenswood cross country team putting in some serious miles in some serious heat.
But they have a goal with each step they take which is to continue quite a winning tradition.
"Meets are looked at as an over-exaggerated practice. You just give it your all everyday and that's all you can do," Dustin Mullins says.
This team has won the last seven state cross country titles where racing to eight straight is this year's motto.
"Seven straight. We're going for eight and I've been a part of three. The community's been behind us every year. We've been working hard this year. Probably harder than any other year," Bryan Canterbury says.
The team runs with a pack mentality which was quickly obvious after the first few minutes of their practice. This happens for a couple of reasons. One, so they can challenge each other as they run and two, sweating and suffering under this summer sun is best experienced together.
"People don't think that cross country is much of a team sport but we help each other out in meets so much....running off of each other. It's a great thing really," Mullins says.
They know that work they do in August should pay off come late October when the state meet finally rolls around.
And that's how this streak started years ago. Once they won that first one, excellence became contagious. At this pace, these Ravenswood runners aren't about to let the streak stop this fall.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter's subtle manipulation culminates in Will's arrest in the next episode of "Hannibal". A preview for the season finale sees Will under arrest since Alana thinks that Will's delusion could cost somebody's life. Realizing that "somebody is making sure that no one believes" him, Will knows that Hannibal is the one behind this.
According to the official synopsis, when Will returns from Minnesota without Abigail, Hannibal turns Will in, and Jack and the BAU team find strong evidence of Will having killed not only Abigail but additional evidence points to all the murders of the Copy Cat Killer. Jack and Alana begin to accept that Will is indeed capable of murder.
Will is arrested and in a desperate attempt to escape, breaks his own thumb to slip the handcuffs and frees himself. Will takes Hannibal back to Minnesota to clear his name and to prove Hannibal's guilt. But before he can, the situation takes another ugly and unexpected turn.
Titled "Savoureux", the last episode of the drama series' inaugural season will air Thursday, June 13 at 10/9c on HBO.

NASHVILLE — An effort to conceal the names of Tennessee Lottery winners failed today on a 4-2 vote in the Senate State and Local Government Committee after a lottery official and open-government advocates warned it would undermine players' trust in the games.
Only two members of the panel, including sponsor Sen. Janice Bowling, R-Tullahoma, voted for the measure. It would have allowed winners to opt in to having their names and hometowns disclosed.
Currently, Tennessee Lottery Corp. officials don't release the names of large winners if they don't wish them to be disclosed. But because the Lottery Corp. is under the state's Open Records Act, news organizations can still request and obtain the name, hometown and state of winners, who can win hundreds of millions of dollars.
Other information such as age and street address are kept confidential under current law.
Bowling said the issue was brought to her attention by an unnamed constituent and she agreed there was a "need for some protection for people who win the lottery."
Someone winning a $100 million multi-state game like Powerball or MegaMillions may be unsophisticated and be at a "vulnerable point," Bowling argued.
But Wanda Young Wilson, the Tennessee Lottery's general counsel and chief operating counsel, said of 46 states that have lotteries, only four keep the information off limit. There's a reason for that, she suggested.
"Players need to be sure these are real people," she said. "We have no doubt that changing the law will have a negative impact."
Wilson said if players believe "some secret person won … that chisels away at the trust."

He has 1 bad game. On a team that had no buisness in the Nat Champ game, and hes crucified.
His entire body of work shows an elite player who easily plays 3 downs at MLB, no problem.
I'm not sure how their measurables compair, but to me Te'o strikes me a bit like Teddy Bruschi. Guys that could shift weight/Athleticism depending on scheme, didn't seem overly explosive/dynamic but were big and solid enough to get the job done, and were football-smart they seemed to always be at the right place at the right time.
You would look at them and think, they don't look like they should be THAT good, but they were and almost alway got the job done.

Companies Sued for Spam Filter Patent InfringementWritten by Sue Walsh on June 25, 2012
InNova, which is known as a "patent troll" and accused of being a shell company that makes its profit by suing every company it can, has filed suit against Facebook, Microsoft, Comcast, Ebay and several other companies claiming they violated a patent relating to spam filter technology.
The suit was filed in East Texas, a jurisdiction known for its extreme favor toward patent holders. InNova has previously sued Apple, AOL, HP, Google and Yahoo for various patent violations and won fat settlements from most. AOL and Google have refused to settle and are still fighting in court. They sued 36 companies in 2010 for patent violations claiming email would cease to function if it weren't for their patented technology.
The patent in question this time relates to "System for Adding to Electronic Mail Messages Information Obtained from Sources External to the Electronic Mail Transport Process", and was issued four years before Facebook even existed. Here's what the lawsuit accuses them of:
"using … electronic-message filtering products and/or services that embody the inventions claimed in the '761 patent, including but not limited to Facebook Email and all reasonably similar products."
It's not clear exactly what Microsoft and the other companies in the suit are accused of but one can assume that it's not much different than the Facebook accusations. What is clear is that the entire patent system is badly broken. How much time and money are wasted on these kinds of lawsuits? Some are calling for software patents to be abolished all together.
Related Posts
This is definitely a clear example of somebody squatting on a patent and doing nothing with it. The honest truth is that if InNova was accomplishing anything with these common-sense patents, we would know their name for something else besides this kind of activity. I don't think software patents ought to be abolished, but the record of a company or patent holder should be considered in matters like this.
It's not only the patent legislation that is broken – the copyright legislation is as well
The Patent Law is not bad or useless per se, it is how if is used or abused by companies such as InNova. InNova what? There it not even a top-of-the-mind product that I can think of that they've created. What's their business model? Innovate or invent something, have it patented and make money out from companies who "violated" their patent.
However, I would propose for the Patent Law to be amended to include provisions that companies holding patents should prove that there is an ongoing development of products or services using that specific patent or have their patent revoked. In this way, patent squatters will not abound.
It is interesting to watch how those large companies will settle with this and how long it will take for them to come to a resolution.
They should be proactive. Instead of just fighting it off in court OR settling it amicably and paying off the "aggrieved" party, they should invest in paying off lobbyists who can study, scrutinize and propose amendments to the Patent Law. In this way, the perceived loopholes of the law will be taken care of and the criticisms against it would gain some real credence and moves towards having it amended would take some traction. Or maybe they're already doing it?

Xavier Men's Basketball Pregame Interview - St. John's (A)
Junior Matt Stainbrook interviews assistant coach Rick Carter about the upcoming game against St. John's.
Rick Carter is entering his second year on head coach Chris Mack's staff. Carter has spent time working on the staffs at Michigan State, Fairfield and Western Michigan and most recently at Missouri.
Mack said he is happy to welcome Carter, who has earned a reputation as a high-energy coach with a passion for teaching the game of college basketball. "I have known Rick since his days with Coach Izzo on the Michigan State staff," said Xavier head coach Chris Mack. "He is a tireless worker, coaches with great energy and will do a phenomenal job in every area of our program. He's extremely bright, engaging and will capture the attention of former, current and future players."
Carter, 34, played a key role in several areas during his year at Missouri, including skill development, scouting and recruiting and helped Missouri reach the NCAA Tournament. Carter helped develop the likes of Phil Pressey and Alex Oriakhi, while being a key part of gathering a nationally-ranked 2013 recruiting class.
Carter came to Mizzou following a four-year stint at Western Michigan, 2008-12, and boasts strong ties to the Michigan high school and AAU circuits. One of the players he helped recruit and bring to WMU was Matt Stainbrook, who has since transferred to Xavier and is one of the captains for the 2013-14 Musketeers.
During his four seasons at Western Michigan from 2008-12, Carter used his impressive AAU ties to link the school to its all-time leading scorer, David Kool. Named Mr. Basketball in the state of Michigan as a high school senior, Carter coached Kool at the AAU level and the standout twice led the Mid-American Conference in scoring and he was named MAC Player of the Year and an All-American as a senior in 2010, averaging 21.6 points per game. Kool was the MAC's Freshman of the Year in 2007 and was named the MAC Player of the Decade by Rivals.com. Overall WMU won a pair of MAC West titles during his four seasons and advanced to postseason play in 2011 with a 21-13 record. Overall Carter has spent the last 10 years working in college basketball and got his start as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Michigan State, under Tom Izzo from 2003-06, helping to coordinate several aspects of the Spartan's day-to-day operations, including video exchange, practice planning, scouting operations and the academic support program. Michigan State qualified for three consecutive NCAA Tournaments in his three years, including the 2005 NCAA Final Four.
Following his stint in East Lansing, Mich., Carter spent two seasons working for Ed Cooley (now head coach at Providence) at Fairfield. In his first season, 2006-07, Carter served as the Director of Basketball Operations. Carter was elevated to a full-time assistant coach in 2007-08.
Carter began his coaching career with the Michigan Mustangs in 2000. He spent four seasons with the AAU powerhouse (2000-03, 2006) and in addition to coaching Kool, he also coached Atlanta Hawks standout Al Horford and former Michigan State star Drew Neitzel. Carter mentored three Michigan "Mr. Basketball" award winners, including Kool, Neitzel and former Musketeer guard Brad Redford.
Carter graduated from Michigan State in 2002 with a degree in business management. He was born April 20, 1979 in Grand Blanc, Mich.

Although not all countries have more women than men on Facebook, in the US, UK, and Canada Facebook has more women than men:
Although there is a 10% difference between men and women on Facebook, the total population divide is much closer to a 50/50 split:
