text: Obama, Holder to Place Good Guys with Guns in Schools Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 29 Sep 2013 post a comment CNN reports that President Obama is "putting millions of dollars into funding armed police officers in schools around the country, an idea not far removed from a National Rifle Association proposal." According to CNN, on September 27 the DOJ announced $45 million in funding meant to "create 356 new school resource officer positions." The $45 million will be distributed in the form of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants. One of the earliest grants will be to Newtown, Connecticut, to create two new officers for Newtown schools. In a statement corresponding with the announcement of COPS grants, Attorney General Eric Holder said, "In the wake of past tragedies, it's clear that we need to be willing to take all possible steps to ensure that our kids are safe when they go to school." On December 21st—eight days after the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary—NRA executive director Wayne LaPierre put forth the need for a stronger armed presence in schools. He pointed out that we "protect our banks... airports, office buildings, power plants, [and] sports stadiums" with "armed security," yet leave our kids unprotected in gun free zones. He said this situation needs to change, adding: "The only things that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." Obama's new funding will put more good guys with guns in schools.

Director-General, National Youth Service Corps, Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, has warned corps members that will serve as electoral officials during the 2015 general elections to resist all forms of inducements from politicians.
Olawumi gave the warning on Monday in Kaiama while addressing 2014 Batch A corps members deployed to Bayelsa State during an unscheduled visit to the NYSC temporary orientation camp in Kaiama, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area.
Olawumi, who reminded the corps members of their crucial role in ensuring a free, fair and credible election in 2015, noted that they must always be seen as unbiased umpires.
He explained that the Independent National Electoral Commission had promised to provide all logistics needed by corp members, to enable them to discharge their duties effectively.
The director-general said, "You are aware that some of you would be engaged by INEC as electoral officials. You are therefore warned to reject any inducements from politicians. Do not allow yourselves to be used for any gains.
"In all that you do, the national interest must come first. And I can assure you that INEC is going to provide all logistics that you need to carry out your services." Olawumi urged the corps members to make good use of the service year to acquire new skills that would prepare them for the future. He said that the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme in the orientation course content was designed to curb the increasing unemployment among graduates of the scheme.
Olawumi said the scheme was determined to check unnecessary travels by corps members due to attendant risks on the road, advising them to always obtain necessary permits before leaving their posts.
On the new orientation camp being built by the Bayelsa State government, he described it as a masterpiece, noting that the standard of facilities being constructed by the government would ease the current challenges being experienced by corps members on camp.

Kate Upton shrugged off any questions about the super-skimpy bikini she wore for the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue this year, explaining that she thought the picture was practically perfect.
Now Upton, the rumored girlfriend of Jets star quarterback Mark Sanchez, is raising eyebrows yet again for her over-the-top sex appeal, this time for an advertisement for Zoo York athletic wear.
According to a Zoo York press release, MTV and the Adult Swim Network have rejected the commercial for its "bleeped profanity," as well as the rogue appearance of Upton's "erect nipple."

Once it's up it does its job nicely, especially plays nice with Highslide...
Thanks for the great plugin!

When I had a small Problem and posted on the forum not even 5 minutes later I got answered and the Problem was solved very fast (no absolute paths in the image src allowed, and don't use Internet explorer it puts the absolute paths back in even after you delete them manually in the html).
Thank you for this lovely plugin and the awesome support!

Cheers Josh Lewis.
The themes and engine choices are really good, though I have to admit that I did not select the 'highslide' engine, but the rest were just what anyone would be looking for.
Many thanks for this excellent extension!
10 out of 10 to the developer.
First it didn't showed the pictures, but a short look in the forum, explained why. The solution:
Please use HTML code between {webgallery} marks, not the path:
Thanks for that and the plugin.
2. This plugin works well and offers a clean image presentation. However, the free option does not allow us to point the plugin to an image directory. Instead, we have to add images to an article one at a time. Furthermore, I found that errors will come up if you try adding multiple images at a time.
Other truly free plugins exist that allow us to point to an image directory -- requiring only a few lines of code. So, the limitation for this plugin is a disappointment.
3. The site is full of other neat plugins, as well. Worth checking out. I would even consider a subscription if support wasn't restricted to 6 months or less.
Totally recommended to everyone!

You could spend days scouting the dozens of commercial galleries in Broward and Palm Beach counties for that perfect piece of art, or you could do one-stop shopping at Gallery Center. This 30,000-square-foot complex is more like a museum than an art mart, with a small outdoor sculpture garden that draws you into the building, a sprawling, airy complex where you can wander among eight galleries under one roof. The art, all for sale, is mostly contemporary, although the works of such art-world trendoids as Mark Kostabi, Julian Schnabel, and David Salle are conspicuous only by their welcome absence. Instead there's a far-ranging selection of photography, sculpture, glassware, and oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting, including works by major artists. You might stumble across a Pousette-Dart or a Botero canvas, for instance, and the breathtaking glasswork of Dale Chihuly is a staple. There's first-class art for as little as a couple hundred dollars or as much as a quarter of a million. In other words, don't go there looking for something to match the sofa.

Over the weekend Dolce & Gabbana hosted an extravagant masked ball in Venice, recreating a historical ball of Venice of the Doges. While the 400 guests including Daisy Lowe, Rose McGowan and Karen Elson rocked up at Dolce & Gabbana's Ballo In Maschera in gondolas, Anna Dello Russo out did them all by turning up with a boat on her head. If anyone could wear a giant ship hat, it would be Anna Dello Russo.
Inside the extravagant palace the fash pack danced the polka and drank Bellinis at a recreation of Harry's Bar of Cipriani. The decor was even more dramatic than ADR's headgear, as it was dripping with chandeliers, grand tapestries and roses and calla lilies.
Domenico Dolce dressed as a harlequin in a black and white jester suit, while Stefano Gabbana played the matador in a gold and red bullfighter suit. Olé! Daisy Lowe wore blush Dolce lace, Audrey Tautou wore a black and nude lace gown with a giant satin bow and jewelled mask and Karen Elson wore a black embellished floral number with a dramatic rose headdress.
Paloma Faith may be drenched in Dolce gold and Giovanna Battaglia may be wearing multi-colour jester tights, but they are no match for Anna Dello Russo. With her gigantic wig, ruffled dress and gold sequin mask ADR was crowned the Queen of couture. Who else could out Marie Antoinette Marie Antoinette?
ADR has been Instagramming her way through the couture shows, including getting ready to hold court with Dolce & Gabbana at the Ballo In Maschera. We can see her lounging on the palace steps with Franca Sozzani, taking a #I'mwearingaboatonmyhead selfie and dancing with Domenico and Stefano.

What to expect from the iPad 5
Summary: With the new iPhone 5s and 5c handsets out, pundit attention has turned to another of Apple's flagship products, the iPad. What does Apple CEO Tim Cook have up his sleeve for us?
6 of 12Image
Touch ID
It makes perfect sense for Apple to integrate the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into iPhone 5s into the new iPad. Sure, this is more about convenience than security, but it not only differentiates the new iPad from the competition, but it also differentiates it from the rest of the tablet ecosystem.
Having a quick and easy-to-use fingerprint reader differentiates the iPad from all other tablets on the market.
The line up
With the new iPhone Apple reshuffled the variants on offer. Before, Apple would introduce a new iPhone and then make the older version cheaper, thus making iPhones available at a multi-tier pricing structure. But this time around it changed this and released two iPhones – a flagship iPhone 5s and cheaper, colorful iPhone 5c that was based on the iPhone 5.
This could suggest that we end up with three different iPads:
- A flagship iPad 5s
- And iPad 5c which closely resembles the existing fourth-generation iPad
- An updated iPad mini
- A flagship iPad 5s
Perhaps, but not by much.
The switch to the GF2 touchscreens used on the iPad mini might shave a fraction off the thickness of the iPad, but I'm not expecting anything drastic. Keeping the thickness the same (currently 9.4mm), as Apple did with the iPhone 5s, would help maintain backward compatibility with accessories.

Elect Mike Yen for Ward 20 Toronto City Council
Dear neighbours,
As your councillor for Ward 20 (Map), I will dedicate myself to serving our community on the principles of sustainability, openness, and cooperation.
Our community is growing and to sustain that growth, I will push for the necessary services and infrastructure. We need to protect our identity, culture and heritage. I will combine my keen awareness of Toronto's multicultural character with my support for local small businesses, to protect and promote the neighbourhoods that give our communities their unique appeal. We need a voice in council who will work in the spirit of cooperation with the rest of our city to realize our shared goals and shared opportunities. With your support, I will be that voice.
People come to Toronto for the promise of the opportunities of a world class city. Together, we can fulfill that promise.
Over the coming weeks I will be travelling our ward and listening to what you have to say. I ask for your support on October 27, 2014 so that we can build a stronger community together.

Winter Food Matters for Migrants
January 3, 2014 by Ray Danner
The Winter Food Limitation Hypothesis (WFLH) states that winter food abundance is a dominant source of population limitation of migratory birds. Evidence is accumulating that long-distance migratory birds wintering in tropical climates have high overwinter survival probabilities and that winter food limitation mainly affects their fitness nonlethally by limiting energetic reserves necessary for successful reproduction.
In contrast, the relative roles of direct mortality vs. indirect effects caused by food limitation have not been investigated thoroughly on short-distance migratory birds wintering in temperate zones, where they face thermal challenges. We performed the first test of the WFLH for a temperate migratory bird in the wild on the swamp sparrow (Melospiza georgiana), with a replicated plot-wide food supplementation experiment.
In contrast to tropical, but consistent with other temperate-wintering migrants, swamp sparrows on unmanipulated plots showed relatively low apparent survival across the winter. Following food addition, birds
- immigrated to experimental plots, which subsequently supported ;50% higher abundances,
- experienced increases of within-season apparent survival of 8–10%, depending on age/sex class, and
- had higher-scaled mass index values, all supporting winter food limitation.
The last two findings are interrelated because birds with higher scaled mass had higher survival probabilities, further supporting direct effects of winter food limitation.
Food limitation of fat reserves might also have indirect effects on reproductive success by limiting migration timing and survival during migration. Increases in scaled mass were higher in females, suggesting that they are disproportionately affected by food limitation, possibly through competition.
Based on Robust Design Modeling, we found no support for emigration prior to food addition, indicating that our estimates of mortality are unbiased.
This article summarizes the information in this scientific paper:
Danner, R. M., R. S. Greenberg, J. E. Danner, L. T. Kirkpatrick, and J. R. Walters 2013. Experimental support for food limitation of a short-distance migratory bird wintering in the temperate zone. Ecology 94:2803–2816.

Our Recent History...
One full-time researcher is currently working in Information Technology designing an Executive dashboard. In 2013 and 2014, the College provided backfill for hourly researchers to help mitigate the extra load placed on the full-time employees. When the College was awarded a Title V grant, Human Resources changed Lisa DiDonato's status from permanent part-time to full-time. The majority of her time is devoted to servicing two major grants.
In August 2014, a new full-time researcher began to help with equity, basic skills, other college-wide efforts.
RIE and the College's employees are fortunate to have this level of support.

Betty's story is refreshingly real and naturally funny. I love listening to her and find myself going back and relistening when I need a little lighthearted humor to lift my day. She's a peach.
"A great choice!"
She is the perfect narrator! Her story is hilarious - I laughed out loud at times and have gone back and listened more than once. A keeper for sure and a book everyone should own.
"Just okay"
A story about the trials of her life, I found myself sad and depressed. I kept checking to see how many more hours were left until the end. Not a good sign. But I did finish the book, and there were a few good pieces of advice near the end.
I like an upbeat story. This wasn't it.

Re: [HOW TO] Root your HTC Android device VIA Swtch OFF method!!!
so lets get start
first this is working on this models:
HTC Sensation
HTC Sensation XE
htc Evo 3d
htc Thunderbolt
htc HD [not sure]
htc HD2 [not sure]
HTC Droid Incredible 2
almost all HTC devices
1. first you will have to download and instal this on your pc
While installing this drivers the phone should be unplugged and also if you have already installed HTC sync you should uninstall before you try to install the drivers
2. go to http://revolutionary.io/ cz we will use this tool from here to make s-off and this will allow to make permanent root to your phone. So once you have entered on the revolutionary scroll down and go to "DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS" (blue letters)
-when you click on download for windows the window will popup and download will start automatically
-minimize the browser do not close because later we will have to fill in the fields for beta key
3. Now go to downloaded file from revolutionary web site
-the file should be in zip extension (like this revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip)
-extract any where
- you will get folder with 6 files in side
4. Now take your phone and plug in to your PC. Make sure that is in "charging only" mod
-go to settings/applications/development/ and check USB debugging
5. Go back to your PC and open the folder downloaded from revolutionary
-right click on revolutionary.exe and run as administrator
the program will run and after few moments it will find your phone with all information about it
at the end it will ask you "enter beta key_"
above this you will see your phones serial number
-leave the program open and go back to revolutionary web site to fill the fields in the window
it should look like this
Beta key
Run the Revolutionary utility; that will give you all the information needed to fill in the form below.
Your operating system:
Your device:
HBOOT version:
Serial number:
-after filling/chose your device hit "generate" and other window will popup with your beta key
-copy the key
6. once you have copied the key go back to revolutionary program that you have left working on your desktop and write the beta key and press enter
-program will start working and after few minutes (when its done ) program will ask you do you want to download and install flash clockworkmod recovery (Y/n)_
phone will boot up in Hboot mod (Bootloader screen) and you will see that your phone is S-OFF now
that is it you have s-offed your phone
now if you want to continue and root your phone permanently without loosing any data do not close any thing but continue with this steps bellow
1. Go back to revolutionary program
-this text should be last "do you want to download and install flash clockworkmod recovery (Y/n)_"
-before you press "Y" go to control panel on your pc and disable firewall
-once you have disable firewall press "Y" in revolutionary program
when the program finish with downloading and installing in some cases (depends on your phone model) in program will write Done and in other case (like with my HTC Sensation XE)program when is finish with downloading and installing just close by hes own
Now phone should boot in HBoot mode
2. Using volume buttons you can navigate up or down and power button is ok/enter button
-navigate to RECOVERY press pow button
HTC boot screen will appear (like when phone is regular booting) and after few seconds Revolutionary Clockwork mod screen will appear
-now navigate to mounts and storage press pow button,mount USB storage and on your pc phone will mount your sd card
3.On your PC you will have mounted SD card (removable disk)
-download this file with zip extension
-copy this file as it is on root folder of your mounted SD card (do not unzip the file)
-close and eject your SD card
4.once you have paste the downloaded zip file to your SD card pick up the phone and select un-mount,press back button once and in the main screen scroll to "install zip from your sd card"
press pow button,chose zip from SD card press pow button and it will open your SD card
-chose the zip file that you have pasted earlier press pow button than go to YES-install /the name of the zip file/.zip
so that is it guys your phone is permanently rooted without losing any data
NOTE:ON my Sensation XE while installation of zip file i was getting error: "installing aborted"
So if you also have this error try repeating step 4 for 3 times to achieve root. Some users are getting installation aborted but on third attempt rooted successfully
Big thanks to @matrix_skopje for the info and tutorial for this method of ROOTING
1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX or from the attachments below
2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)
3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting
4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)

Copyright infringement attorneys would be well-served to review a recent case out of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. The case involved one test preparation company suing another for copyright infringement. The allegations stemmed from the Defendant using 14 exam questions that were identical to those in Plaintiff's registered copyright for 1,083 multiple-choice questions. Rather than determine whether the questions themselves were subject to copyright protection, the Court relied on the the de minimis doctrine. The Defendant asserted that any infringement was de minimis, and thus, "cannot lead to a finding of substantial similarity." "This means that even where the fact of copying is conceded, no legal consequences will follow from that fact unless the copying is substantial." "To establish that an infringement is quantitatively de minimis and therefore not actionable, the alleged infringer must demonstrate that the copying of the protected material is so trivial 'as to fall below the quantitative threshold of substantial similarity.'" (Citations omitted).
The Court went on to analyze the doctrine's applicability and hold that there was no actionable copyright infringement.
"Based on the uncontroverted evidence, there are approximately 1,083 multiple-choice questions in the plaintiff's copyrighted materials. (Doc. 31–2, p. 1). Accordingly, even assuming 14 questions were copied from the overall work, that would be approximately 1.3% of the total questions in the copyrighted material.2 This is even smaller than the 2% copying at issue in the Newton case, which the Ninth Circuit found was not quantitatively significant. Additionally, there is no indication, allegation, or argument that the 14 questions were any more significant than the 1,069 other questions in the copyrighted materials. These were not summary questions or "wrap up" questions, but rather, each question allegedly copied was merely another question in the overall mass of 1,083 copyrighted questions. There is no evidence even suggesting that these questions were essential to the overall work. Rather, all of the evidence indicates that these questions were merely an insignificant few in the overall mass. Furthermore, the evidence shows that these questions were not unique, but rather, appear to be standard questions and concepts in the contractor testing and test-preparation business. (See Doc. 25–9; doc. 30–4, p. 3–7). Accordingly, the Court finds that the relevant questions are a "simple, minimal, and insignificant" portion of the entire copyrighted material. Newton, 388 F.3d at 1196. Accordingly, looking at the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, this Court finds that there are no genuine issues of material fact, and judgment must be awarded in favor of the defendant as a matter of law. Based on this Court's review, any alleged copying in this case cannot be deemed anything more than de minimis, and thus, not actionable copying."
This practice tip serves as a reminder to analyze whether the amount of copying is sufficient enough to qualify for copyright infringement. More importantly, defendants, and their copyright infringement attorneys, should be sure to understand the scope of the claimed infringement and consider a de minimis defense.
UnIntellectual Property (UnIP): Trade Secret for Online Database
The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, holding that Plaintiff did not possess the requisite trade secret for its trade secret misappropriation claim. Both Plaintiff and Defendant provide construction product information ("CPI"). Plaintiff and Defendant are the two national level provider of CPI services, which includes nationwide searchable databases that can filter projects based on the user's preferences. For example, a user can search for library projects in Topeka, Kansas, worth more than three million dollars, that need plumbing in the next two months. The CPI service will collect all the projects meeting those specifications and provide plans, bidding information, and contact information for the planner, architect, or general contractor on the job. Reed and McGraw–Hill each sell CPI subscriptions at the national, state, and local levels. When Defendant secretly subscribed to Plaintiff's service in order to perform comparisons and ensure its database was complete, Plaintiff sued for misappropriation of trade secrets, among other things.
The Court said: "It is clear that under New York law, which is more permissive than Georgia law, Reed's CPI lost its trade-secrets status-if it ever had any-when Reed gave out free trial subscriptions unaccompanied by any contractual restrictions on their use."
So, the Court relied upon lack of maintained secrecy. However, were other reasons present? Was this information even a trade secret? Perhaps a compilation trade secret? Would New York and Georgia law, the latter follows UTSA, have come out the same on these issues?
UnIntellectual Property (UnIP): Trade Secret for Source Code and Other Deliverables
The United States District Court of the Southern District of New York has granted a defendant's motion to dismiss a lawsuit involving claims of copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation. The lawsuit arose after Plaintiff was hired to create a website for an entity that shared employees and facilities with Defendant. When Defendant failed to pay, Plaintiff sued. At issue in the motion to dismiss was whether Plaintiff has properly pled causes of action for copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation.
The Court first disposed of the copyright claim, despite Plaintiff having filed for a copyright registration. It is worth noting that Plaintiff's copyright registration was limited to text, not the claimed code and other Deliverables. The Plaintiff's copyright infringement claim, however, relied upon an entire list of Deliverables containing both copyrightable subject matter and non-copyrightable subject matter. This, the Court held, was not sufficient to provide notice as to which Deliverables are eligible for copyright protection and, of those, which are registered. Thus, it dismissed the copyright infringement claim.
With respect to the trade secrets, the Court recognized that there was insufficient particularity in the pleadings. More importantly, the Court recognized Plaintiff's copyright registration and held that it would necessarily require public disclosure of the alleged secrets. Thus, no trade secret could exist. Moreover, the Court also stressed that Plaintiff "does not explain how source code AI wrote for, and delivered to, Adorama would constitute "information which is used in [AI's] business," a necessary element of trade secret status, nor does it explain how that information would provide AI with "an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it."" Put another way, the Court found that since the source code was created for Defendant, and not used by Plaintiff, it was not Plaintiff's trade secret, especially given the failure to identify the same in the contract between the parties.
The Court did allow for amendment, which would necessarily require greater specificity with respect to the trade secret claim. My belief is that the Plaintiff would have to show that whatever it claims was not publicly disclosed to the U.S. Copyright Office, identify what alleged trade secret was owned by Plaintiff as part of its preexisting toolkit that would not be publicly available through Defendants or any previous customers website (especially the source code) and establish proof of its own use for a competitive advantage. While doing so may get it beyond a motion to dismiss stage, I have a strong belief a motion for summary judgment would be forthcoming on what appears to be a difficult claim to establish, especially given this ruling to date.
UnIntellectual Property (UnIP): Trade Secret for Drug Ingredients and Dosage/Marketing Strategies
Massachusetts is relatively unique in that it has yet to adopt the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Instead, a blend of statutory law (Massachusetts Trade Secret Protection Act) and common law define a trade secret and what happens in the event of misappropriation. This case arises out of a dispute between pharmaceutical companies that promote and offer for sale competing bowel preparation drugs that are administered prior to colonoscopies. When the General Counsel of Defendant came into possession of certain training materials "sent in from the field" by an unknown source, Plaintiff took this present action claiming that Defendant had misappropriated an undisclosed number of pages of its raining materials and the trade secrets contained therein.
The Court granted Defendant's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, which was based upon Plaintiff's entire set of training materials. In doing so, the Court held that the lawsuit cannot proceed because Plaintiff has not identified with adequate specificity any trade secrets in materials that have not been submitted with the pleadings. Moreover, the items claimed do not amount to a trade secret under Massachusetts law. In particular, the six pages of material included publicly available information about the drug, such as its ingredients and recommended dosage, all of which is within the public domain. In addition, while noting that marketing strategies may be protectable as a trade secret, in this case, the differences in price, efficacy and safety was not established to be proprietary to Plaintiff. Finally, the Court held that "it is implausible that platitudes such as "Cash in on relationships!" are the product of significant effort or investment or are valuable to Braintree's competitors." Thus, no trade secrets existed under law.
I envision a similar result if UTSA was enacted in Massachusetts. Fortunately for Plaintiff, its other causes of action remain.
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio denied Defendant's Motion for Partial Summary Judgement, which was based upon the argument that Plaintiff's claimed service mark, VNA, was generic. The Court's threshold question was whether the term "VNA" is generic. The Defendant argued it was generic for Visiting Nurse Association and offered evidence of such use. This followed denial of Plaintiff's attempt at a preliminary injunction. However, the Court quickly determined that a "term may be considered generic in certain regions of the country and not in others." Thus, given Plaintiff's Ohio trademark registration and disputed issues of fact surrounding use in the Ohio region, the Court denied summary judgement on the issue of genericness. In doing so, the Court noted: "While the Defendant makes a compelling case for summary judgment because the evidence supports a finding that the term "VNA" is generic, Plaintiff has yet to complete discovery. Moreover, Defendants failed to cite any case where a court made a factual finding as to genericness before the close of discovery or at least until after an evidentiary hearing."
Ultimately, the Court seems to be sending a signal that Plaintiff better come up with evidence to support that its VNA mark is not generic, at least in the Ohio region. Regardless, this is a good reminder to trademark attorneys litigating cases involving claims of genericness involving common law trademark rights that such trademark rights may differ by region.
There was no finding of UnIntellectual Property in this case out of the Tenth Circuit, but it did highlight two items that I believe are worthy of note to any copyright attorney, especially those litigating copyright infringement cases involving software. The case involved a payroll processing company suing another company and its owner for copyright infringement of computer software code. The Defendant appealed after the District Court appointed a special master and adopted the special master report that found copyright infringement had occurred, thus leading to the Court ordering all copies of the infringing software destroyed. The issues on appeal, that form the basis of my two practice tips relate to (1) the use of a special master and (2) analysis of software code for infringement.
The appointment of a special master to assist the Court is worth consideration in copyright infringement and/or trade secret cases involving computer source code. This is typically something a plaintiff will request so as to help establish its cause of action.
As it relates to analysis of software code to determine if copyright infringement has occurred, this Court makes clear that any special master (and I would proffer any expert) should not only apply the abstraction-filtration-comparison test but also document such application. The abstraction-filtration-comparison test is summarized as follows:
UnIntellectual Property (UnIP): Trade Secret for Information Posted on the Internet and Generally Known
The United States District Court for the District of Maryland analyzed several alleged trade secrets as part of a lawsuit involving six former employees and their activities before and after resigning. Plaintiff, whose business is locating, selecting, screening, mobilizing, and placing candidates in temporary and permanent employment positions throughout the United States at all levels of skill and expertisehad sued defendants, for, among other things, trade secret misappropriation in violation of the Maryland Uniform Trade Secrets Act (MUTSA).
Plaintiffs allege Defendants misappropriated the following documents:
(1) a TEKsystems CATS 2 Price Sheet and a Federal Supply Service Price List – Although the Court notes that pricing information is protectable as a trade secret, the Court made quick work of this particular price sheet, agreeing with Defendants that it was a not a trade secret because it was published on the Internet.
(2) a Software Market Definitions Memorandum – Again, the Court recognized that marketing plans are protectable as a trade secret. However, the Court found that Plaintiff's failure to offer evidence that the list is not generally known or would be valuable to competitors, let alone rebut Defendant's evidence, favored a finding that the Memo did not qualify as a trade secret.
(3) an Allegis Group Internal Employee Handbook and a TEKsystems Staffing Services Agreement – The Court held: "Plaintiffs offer no evidence that the information in the agreement and the handbook is not generally known or would be valuable to competitors. Thus, there is no evidence from which a reasonable jury could conclude these documents are trade secrets."
Thus, the Court granted Defendant's motion for summary judgment with respect to the MUTSA claim.
Again, I wonder whether the trade secret misappropriation claim, which is typically included when there is a breach of a covenant in an employment agreement, was included as mere habit. Will a motion for fees be forthcoming?
UnIntellectual Property (UnIP): Trademark for REDSKINS
The USPTO's TTAB today issued its opinion cancelling the REDSKINS trademark as owned by Pro Football, Inc. and used in connection with the Washington Redskins NFL team. The USPTO issued a statement that, in sum, says:
1. "Redskins" was disparaging of Native Americans, when used in relation to professional football services, at the times the
2. The federal registrations for the "Redskins" trademarks involved in this proceeding must be canceled.
3. If not appealed or not affirmed, the previous registrant loses the benefits associated with a federal trademark registration, including the legal presumptions of ownership and of nationwide scope of rights in these trademarks, as well as the ability to use the federal registration ® symbol, and to record the registrations with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Service to block importation of infringing or counterfeit foreign goods.
4. The decision does not require that the REDSKINS trademark be changed or no longer used by Washington D.C.'s NFL team, since the TTAB's jurisdiction does extend to trademark use but rather only trademark registration with the USPTO.
You can read the precedential opinion.
Given the facts, this decision does not surprise me. The timing of it, however, confirms to me the power of lobbying and social change efforts, as evidenced by the Native American commercial ran during, among other times, the NBA Finals. As an alumni of Miami University, who used be called the Miami Redskins and has since changed to Miami Redhawks, I understand both sides views on the matter. Ultimately, it will be interesting to see whether Washington D.C.'s football team actually stops use and rebrands.
Today, the CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has decided that patents may not be the best thing for his company, the automobile industry, or the environment. Instead, he is advocating for open source. He posted the following on the Tesla Blog:
"Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters. That is no longer the case. They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology….We believe that applying the open source philosophy to our patents will strengthen rather than diminish Tesla's position in this regard."
IP attorneys, including Tesla's, must be collectively sweating. I am not, and not simply because I prefer trademark over patent (no way Tesla would ever say their brand name is open source). Sure IP is immensely valuable to many companies and one of the most important line items when it comes time for valuation and financing. That said, securing patents and choosing not to enforce them or bypassing patent protection in the interest of open source deserves consideration, especially by companies looking to change the world. I don't drive a Tesla, but I want to now, more than ever, and not only because it is a great looking car. This confirms it is a socially conscious and admirable company, even to an IP attorney like me.
The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) affirmed, in a precedential opinion, an Examining Attorney's refusal of a trademark application for ASSHOLE REPELLENT in connection with an "amusement device, namely, a can with a spray top used as a gag gift and sold as a unit." The mark was held immoral and scandalous under Section 2(a) of the Trademark Act. When determining if a mark is scandalous, according to the TTAB, the "analysis must be made (1) from the standpoint of a substantial composite of the general public, and (2) in terms of contemporary attitudes." The word "shit" has previously been repeatedly held as scandalous. Now, it appears, the word "asshole" is subject to the same fate. Applicant's evidence included reference to broadcast television using the A-Word and countless website references for other products was not enough. The TTAB relied upon dictionary definitions and distinguished the word from "ass" in and of itself, which was included in several trademark registrations.
I've always said that we are a victim of our time and place. 20 years ago this application would have had no chance. Today, it is obviously still difficult to overcome a scandalous refusal. However, with the explosion of social media and hardening of the populations tolerance for "vulgarity," most likely due to overexposure, would this same decision stand in 5 years? I think contemporary attitudes are changing, and as a result, I envision the TTAB will too, eventually. For now, this Applicant will have to rely upon common law trademark rights if he wishes to enforce his mark. I'm guessing that this Applicant could put some of his spray to good use regardless.

5 Ingredients: Hot Chocolate Cakeby Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, Valentine's Day, February 14, 2011
Gooey chocolate cake in a perfectly-portioned package — what more could you ask for in a dessert?! This recipe is a little beyond our standard criteria for Healthy Eats desserts, so make it a special treat for your Valentine.
Hot Chocolate Cake
Serves: 8
1 stick unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for ramekins
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for ramekins
4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
5 large eggs
Nonstick cooking spray
Equipment: 8 (6-ounce) ramekins
No fat-free alternatives here, only the real thing will do. Using one stick for the recipe comes out to 1 tablespoon per person.
Less than 1 cup of sugar gives these cakes perfect texture and just enough sweetness.
Semisweet Chocolate
Semisweet chocolate has a pleasing balance of sweet and bitter – if you're a fan of a darker chocolate, use that instead.
You just need a little flour to bring these cakes together. For best results, use all-purpose, unbleached flour.
Eggs make the cakes moist, light and airy – they also help boost the protein to 6 grams per serving.
Preheat oven to 400-degrees F. Coat the inside of each ramekin with butter and sugar. Melt butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat on medium speed until well combined. Add melted chocolate and mix on low until well incorporated. Mix in flour using a rubber spatula until just combined. Fill each ramekin halfway with batter and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 16 minutes, until the tops are firm and just begin to crack. Serve warm.

Religion news in brief
Ferguson clergy pray for peace and recovery
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) - Religious leaders in Ferguson, Missouri, say they're appalled at the violence that erupted after a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Some local clergy joined Ferguson Mayor James Knowles at a Tuesday afternoon news conference.
Baptist Pastor Timothy Woods said they condemn the arson and looting that badly damaged more than a dozen businesses.
Evangelist Vivian Dudley said more than 800 local ministers and people of faith were uniting in prayer for Ferguson's peace and recovery. She led a prayer from the podium, asking God to lead the community to repentance and "spiritual renewal."
Clergy protest grand jury decision near Ferguson
CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - Clergy and others who blocked morning traffic in the St. Louis suburb where the Ferguson grand jury decision was announced have ended their protest without any apparent arrests being made.
About 100 demonstrators assembled in downtown Clayton, Missouri, shortly after sunrise Tuesday and spent several hours blocking intersections, singing spirituals and chanting, "This is what theology looks like." They also observed a 4 1/2-minute moment of silence to mark the 4 1/2 hours that Brown's body remained on the Ferguson street before it was removed.
Many protesters wore orange reflective vests identifying themselves as clergy.
The demonstrators blocked intersections for up to 10 minutes at a time before moving to another. Police monitored the demonstration, which was one of many planned for Tuesday in the St. Louis area.
Missouri students want religious policy change
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - A student group has asked the University of Missouri to strengthen a classroom policy to ensure that professors accommodate students who have to miss class for a religious holiday.
The Missouri Student Association, after meeting with Thalia Sass, president of the Jewish Student Organization at MU, presented the faculty council with a proposed change that would obligate faculty to make religious allowances.
The current rules only encourage professors to excuse students from classes, tests or activities because of religious obligations.
Student leaders say the change is needed because some students have problems with their professors without a mandate in place.
The student association proposal also recommends students provide notice to professors about possible absences toward the beginning of each semester.
Colorado court upholds Day of Prayer proclamations
DENVER (AP) - The Colorado Supreme Court is upholding the governor's right to issue Day of Prayer proclamations.
Monday's ruling reverses a 2012 appeals court decision that found that the proclamations unconstitutionally favored the religious over the non-religious.
The Colorado Supreme Court found that opponents of the proclamations don't have the right to sue because they weren't forced to participate in the day of prayer and didn't suffer any negative consequences from the government.
The court also said the plaintiffs didn't suffer significant "psychic harm" from media coverage of the prayer proclamations.
Congress established a National Day of Prayer in 1952, and most states hold statewide days of prayers to coincide with the national event.
Marion Barry's turkey giveaway goes on without him
WASHINGTON (AP) - Marion Barry's annual turkey giveaway went on without the longtime District of Columbia politician.
Hundreds of people gathered Tuesday outside Union Temple Baptist Church in Southeast Washington. For years, the former mayor and city councilman raised money to buy turkeys and give them to the poor. Many residents mourned Barry's death as they waited in line for one of the 3,500 turkeys that were given away.
LaToya Foster, Barry's spokeswoman, said that's what Barry lived for - giving back to the poorest people and serving those who didn't have a voice.
Barry died early Sunday at the age of 78.
