Weekend Watching: Patent Absurdity - How Software Patents Broke the SystemSubmitted by Michael Nystrom on Fri, 05/14/2010 - 10:40
If the video below does not load, watch it here:
Key points to keep in mind here is:
- Software patents are being used as weapons in corporate warfare
- The Federal Government is handing out the patents
- Software patents are killing innovation, not encouraging it

Put your questions to the filmmakers
The Supreme's decision on this will be huge.
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court gave a skeptical and at times scornful reception to arguments that there should be broader patent protection for "business methods," which several justices suggested did little to spur the technological progress that patent laws were intended to promote.
At arguments Monday, several justices seemed almost contemptuous toward patents for financial strategies, risk management or teaching methods, which they contrasted with inventions such as the telephone or Morse Code that an inventor might devise in a laboratory.
That boded ill for Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw, who are seeking to patent a method for hedging risk in commodities trading due to fluctuations in the weather. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected their application, a decision upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
That court held that to be patentable, a business method must be "tied to a particular machine or apparatus" or transform "a particular article into a different state or thing."
The Supreme Court agreed to review that decision. But instead of reconsidering whether the Bilski method should be patented, several justices seemed concerned that the Federal Circuit hadn't gone far enough to block inappropriate patents.
The lower court had left open the question of whether the same steps Messrs. Bilski and Warsaw proposed might be patentable if they were framed as software rather than a series of equations.
"That's just saying instead of looking in the Yellow Pages, you look on the computer; and that makes all the difference," said Chief Justice John Roberts.

patenting processes doesn't
patenting processes doesn't help society. If your a programmer, it's ridiculous that you should have to worry about whether or not your process for programming an application, is an infringement on someone's patent.
I'm not theoretically opposed to patents,
however, the system is so corrupt and broken today that we'd be better off eliminating them completely than to continue with today's system. Patents are supposed to protect innovation, but the Patent Office hands them out like candy and lets "the courts sort it out." The problem is that it costs $2 million or more for someone to fight an invalid patent. Even then, the court system picks unqualified jurors and judges rule irrationally on issues they don't understand making it a coin flip as to whether you can even defeat a bogus patent. If the patent system worked like it's supposed to work, you could probably count on one hand the number of patents that would be awarded in a year. Very little true innovation is represented via patents. Mostly, they're just weapons for rich companies to bully small companies to limit competition.
I do some programming as part of my job.
I haven't run into any of these issues before, but I would agree that it is ridiculous to try to patient "ideas" that go into software. But software can be written so that the code can't be accessed and the software itself could be patented. This would protect the "invention" without having to worry programmers about having to make sure they are not violating a patent. Anyone who would hack into the particular program unauthorized to learn the special techniques used to develop it would be prosecutable.
they don't only try (and do) to patent algorithms/internal techniques etc. they even patent "business processes" and user interface ideas and more. How does a black box help when your enemy sees (he used a 1-click-buy button, harr, harr) and attacks you on that basis, nobody needs to see the actual implementation.
Furthermore, copyright is supposed to protect original products/software etc. Copyright exists to protedt your "black box", so that nobody can copy it without your authorization or disassemble it lawfully, if you distribute your "black box" using a proprietary license. Patents aren't for the end-result (which is protected by copyright anyways, against unauthorized "hacking into" for example), they are for the ingredients used in making it.
It's like trying to patent a certain type of storyline in a book. Or like trying to patent a certain type of movie set. Or like trying to patent mathematical formulas. Or like trying to patent a business idea (not a physical/chemical scientific breakthroughs/mechanisms in use in actual physical products etc.))...
Plain absurd!
I can understand this to some
I can understand this to some extent. On the other hand, patents also encourage creativity from individuals with little or no resources and invest in their ideas. Without patent protection only the big companies can monopolize and prosper.
it shows
that you're probably not a hacker(used in the good sense of the word).
The overwhelming majority of software guys (the individuals you are talking about) are against software "patents" (maybe 90%), even the most small, mid-sized software businesses are against it (maybe also 90%). Hell, even in the corporate world there are not too many fans of the idea.
There is consensus that software patents make competition more difficult and development more cumbersome and expensive, as well as a lot more risky, and that 99% of software patents are actually ridiculous (progress bars and stuff like that, or amazon's 1-click-buy, and on and on and on). Guarding against software patent "traps" is a major problem for all individuals that want to develop/destribute/market something, software patents are a giant large minefield (there are so many, you can't know them all in one lifetime), set up to destroy the small guy, to benefit those who can afford a huge patent protection pool (think nuclear weapons arsenale), and of course it makes the lawyers happy. The lawyers and patent trolls(yeah, due to software patents attacking individuals without even having "invented" something yourself (lawyers who buy software patent pools) has become a business of itsself) are indeed the number one benefactor, number two befenefactor are small folks like Microsoft, Oracle and so on who can bully competition at will and prevent interoperability and thus competition. They have the cash to drag their competition through years of ridiculous software patent law suits, just to drive them mad and hopefully out of cash.
Actually, it's quite obvious that you don't have much of an insight into the world of software, software developers and what has already happened (and not happened) because of software patents.
Your last sentence is correct, when you completly reverse the meaning.
Without patent protection the big companies (and lawyers) can not monopolize (as much) and extort (as much).
Dude, you don't have a clue, sorry.
So why do we have "software patents"? That's simple. Lawyers make laws, for lawyers. And some of the big guys (with all the $$$) collude with them.
You are wrong about me
I have designed and developed software for many years. I have patents on my name and I even learned the process and patented myself. I know many small start up companies are moving forward with their ideas only because they have an ability to protect themselves against large corporations through patents. If you learn the process and patent it yourself (as a small entity), it doesn't cost much unlike in many other countries. The response below states it costs $20,000 for prior art search - may be true only if done by professionals. If you do it yourself it costs zero. Maintenance fees are also reasonable and affordable to individuals. You can always dropout if it is not worth it, which makes it public.
I think US patent laws are inventor friendly, while European, Japan and other countries are not. In these countries, the fee is so high only rich individuals/large corporations can afford to do it.
I agree with you regarding ridiculous patents and the patent process can be enhanced to improve the quality of the patents. But the idea of patents helps individuals and small businesses.
I didn't know
these differences between European/US patent procedures, thanks for clearing that up.
I used to be a fierce enemy of software patents, but once I saw this lecture (as part libertarian myself), I became more or less critical of all patent laws:
I like this Jefferson quote, which in my opinion sums it all up:
(As secretary of state, Jefferson ran our first American patent office. For him, its purpose was to promulgate inventions, not to protect them. He hated monopoly and was determined that the patent process shouldn't serve it. The peculiar character of an idea, said Jefferson, is that)
"... no one possesses the less because everyone possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me receives [it] without lessening [me], as he who lights his [candle] at mine receives light without darkening me."
And sorry for doubting your credentials. :-)
It actually stifles innovation.
I talked to a patent attorney about filing a patent and he told me that the minimum fee for "due diligence" is $20,000. Due diligence is important because you have to figure out if the thing you are patenting has already been patented or is already somewhere in commerce.
So consider that you want to create a website that performs what you consider to be some fairly obvious and basic functions. Unfortunately, someone has already patented your very basic function, and it cost you $20,000 to figure this out. Then you try to get a license for this technology and low-and-behold the patent is being held by a squatter. Patent squatting is an incredibly profitable industry which does nothing but buy unused patents and then sue people trying to do what the patents do. My understanding is that often they sue small businesses that have no money to defend themselves, then settle out of court.
What's worse is that taxpayer money goes to fund many patents used in the private market. It's not uncommon to find university professors using public money to create things that are patented, and that same professor's own company gaining exclusive rights to the patent. The universities love this set up because it brings huge research dollars to their schools. I called MIT about a patent paid for with DOE money and I was immediately connected to their public-relations specialist who, before I even asked any questions, began quoting all these 'studies' which demonstrated that ever since the U.S. started granting patents on technologies developed with public money, all sorts of great things happened.
I used to believe that patents and copyrights protected private property rights, but after being directly involved with them I believe they erode private property rights. It's what Bastiat referred to as 'legalized plunder.'
I had lawyers try to get me to do the same thing with software
products that I had written. The search (for what they call: "prior art") is only one step in the process and it gets more expensive. I have no problem with the concept of copyrighting a work (which is intended to protect the expression of an idea).
"An economy built on fiat money is a society on its way to ashes."
Do it yourself
If you do it yourself it costs nothing. USPTO website has a great patent search service for free. You can even draft claims by reading books on how to patent yourself. Actual patent office fees are very reasonable. You pay only 50% as a small entity.
Thank you. I'm familiar with the process.

I look forward to watching it.
Pricing should be set by the market and that includes intellectual property. Anything that has value simply because of government imposed controls has NO value in reality. If music, electronic documents, and software are so abundant and duplicable that they are everywhere, then the price should reflect that. Some try to equate this with communist ideology, but it is in reality the simple result of supply and demand and drives innovation. It would supply the most people with the most information for the most affordable price.
Money cannot be merely electronic, and I believe that neither can "intellectual property" if we are to be consistent in defense of the free market.
"Endless money forms the sinews of war." - Cicero, www.freedomshift.blogspot.com
absolutely! you're so right
absolutely! you're so right on that. a truly free market in this sense does not monopolize intellectual work. egalitarianism is natural in the free market for ideas, sounds, language etc. no one has any right to create a monopoly for their product using government as their tool belt, especially in those cases. equating that with communism is about as shallow as it gets. i would equate the bureaucracy of patenting as truly communist.
Important book on IP
Here's a quick summary by the author:
Pretty radical, but a very well thought out argument.
Thats what the free marketis for
Open-source is running rings around most commercial developers, Microsoft included.
Microsoft has a few thousand people working on the core of their operating system. Linux has hundreds of thousands. Microsoft is absolutely surrounded.
Almost all software that is deemed important by corporate users has an free analog. And the quality of free software grows over time, until it matches commercial software.
Another benefit of open-source VS commercial: Security. When you have hundreds of thousands of eyes looking at the source, to make it more secure, it becomes more secure. Much more than a few thousand can accomplish.
One problem I have seen over the past few years: Open-source projects tend to get corporate 'care takers' that develop a more capable version for sale, while the free version lags. Almost an analog of the Ruling class versus We the People.

About as good of a review of the subject matter as I've seen in
some years. If it would help put some of the patent lawyers out of business, then it's hard to imagine how that could be a bad thing. The patenting of software is a relatively recent thing. When I started writing software, it was a copyrighted product, but not the subject of a patent application.

Why The Panthers Will Win 10 Games
Carolina Panthers
Buy Panthers Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
Ok, I am out on a limb. I think this is the year Rivera and Co. make that leap into the postseason. And, these are the reasons why…….
1) Close Games- They can play with anyone (Atlanta Game 1 and Seattle) and beat anyone (Atlanta Game 2 and Washington). This is the year where I think the learn how to close more of the tight ones.
2) Fast Start- I think they can be 4-2 out of the gate this season. Under Rivera they are 3-12 in the months of September and October. If that changes and this team gets some early confidence, look out.
3) Front 7- If the LBs stay healthy and the rookie DTs are ready to roll, this could be one of the best Front 7s in the NFL. Run Stuffing on first down and pass rushing on later downs will win alot of games for this team.
4) Cam in year three- I believe Cam turned the corner late last year. Better decisions and more mature. If that continues, the wins will follow.
5) Division Games are doable- We were the better team in 5 of 6 divisional games last year. If they play like that and finish better, they could pressure the Falcons for the division title.

This Little Underground: Farewell to music scene clubhouse Bar-BQ-Bar
Plus live reviews of Centuries, Jungbluth, Modern Music Movement's R.E.M. tribute
Published: September 3, 2014
A huge, heart-heavy pour on the floor for Bar-BQ-Bar, whose shocking and sudden coda arrived this last weekend. Due to some recent changes in downtown's show patterns and social demographics, it's been a while since I've been a regular there, but I was very much one for many years. I've killed countless hours and brain cells there. Because of the concentration of talented artists and serious music heads on both sides of the bar over the years, I've had some of my best music conversations there. It's been some time since the place has been quite that elite as a scene clubhouse, but in its prime, it was unmatched. Over my last beers here, I realized those memories are eternal. Thanks for the high times, Bar-BQ. May your successor be as worthy.
The Beat
Non-Prophet Organization's latest punk-centric showcase (Aug. 27, Uncle Lou's) was a study in both extremity and advancement. Some of these young bands aren't just pushing hard, they're pushing the genre outward.
The night's bookends were decent but undercooked. Though occasionally intriguing with some unusual elements, closing local band Gross has yet to make it all click and stick. The headlong, wall-crashing powerviolence of opening South Florida band Shit Luck was more coherent in style and raged with bleak undercurrents. But for the unforgiving demands of their style, they were a little loose.
The sweet middle where the headlining bands were, however, is the stretch that made the night crack like a thunderbolt. Jungbluth, a PC punk trio from Germany, ripped the room in a progressive hardcore attack. With more relief, sinew and slash than the traditional stuff, they sometimes wrap their toes over the noise-rock ledge. These guys have some seriously beastly recordings, much of it you can find for free on their Bandcamp (jungbluth.bandcamp.com). With this much danger for such little price, it's an imperative.
But it was the sonic wrath of West Palm's Centuries that blew everyone else the fuck away. The last time I saw this band was in this bar, and they whipped everyone into such a frenzy that bodies were flying off the pool table like a herd over a cliff. Well, it wasn't nearly as wild this time, a fact that I know drove die-hard promoter Ryan Pemberton to near insanity. But blame the crowd, because the band did their part.

This is the designers' final challenge, and it will determine which of them will move forward and present collections at New York Fashion Week. Heidi announces that I'm taking the designers on a field trip. Indeed, I am. In another celebration of New York City, we visit the New York Botanical Garden. There, the designers meet Collier Strong, consulting makeup artist for L'Oreal Paris, who explains that this is the L'Oreal Paris challenge. Collier instructs the designers to use the Garden as the source of their inspiration for an evening gown design (which, coincidentally, is what they declared that they wanted to do when we were in the van driving to the Bronx). They are given cameras and have one hour to explore the garden and take pictures to record their inspiration.
Back in the workroom, they have 30 minutes to choose one photograph to serve as the inspiration for their evening gown. Then, we go shopping at MOOD with a budget of $250. They have two days for this challenge.
Our guest judge is the stunning Georgina Chapman, co-founder of and designer for Marchesa.

South American Restaurant with Decent Atmosphere?
- hiddenboston Jan 30, 2007 07:27 AM
It seems that most South American restaurants I know of are either primarily takeout places, cafeteria-style dining spots, or hole-in-the-wall restaurants, which is all well and good, but I was wondering if there are any that have a more mid-level to upscale atmosphere. Brazilian would be preferred, but I would be ok with Venezuelan, Chilean, or any other South American cuisine. Thanks!
Doubt it's exactly what you're looking for but: Taranta in the North End, the cuisine of which is "a marriage between Southern Italian Cuisine and Peruvian Cuisine" is very good. I've always enjoyed the food, and I'd describe it as upscale casual.
Cafe Brazil in Allston is not really a hole-in-the-wall. I thought it had a pleasant atmosphere and great food.
re: Joanie
Hmmm, maybe I'll look into Machu Picchu. So the new digs are pretty nice there?
re: Joanie
I also thought of Midwest Grill in Inman for Brazilian. It always seemed pretty nice when I used to walk by. Hiddenboston, have you been there? I never have been, but I've heard good things. I've also heard good things about Oasis, never went there either (don't know how that could be, but it's true). Not sure how "nice" it is though.
I think there are some nicer Brazilian places in Framingham too. Maybe Brazzille like Alice mentioned below. There might be others too, but I'm not familiar with them.
For Colombian food, El Cafetal and Camino Real in Allston are both okay....I wouldn't call them "hole in the walls" but I wouldn't say they are at all upscale either. So it doesn't quite fit your request, but I have eaten in both and thought they were both good.
Dave MP
re: Dave MP
I've tried to go to the Midwest about 10 times now, with something coming up each time. I hope to get there on a Friday night in the next few weeks with a few buddies of mine.
Am I the only one who thinks Rincon Limeno has a sexy as hell atmosphere? Guess so.
Ole in Inman or its now ex-cousin in Arlington are both nice-ish. Granted, that's Central, rather than South American cooking....
How about Tango in Arlington? An Argentinean steak house with good steaks and better than average food.
I'm drawing a blank on mid - upscale Brazilian; sorry.
re: Taralli
Don't think so. I was there a couple of weeks ago, on my way to the airport, and it was just a little storefront with a couple of Peruvian families (you can tell by the Inka Cola :) at Formica tables. I agree with gini, though, that this is a fantastic atmosphere but not, I think, what hiddenboston had in mind. Ceviche was damn fine too, although I would have liked a little more potato or sweet potato to go along with it as a foil for the lemony goodness of the fish. There was a lot of liquid so I'm not sure if it would make it through airport security...
re: a l i c e
Brasileria, I think...Same atmosphere as cafe Belo, steam tables, serve yourself, and plywood paneling on the walls.
re: galleygirl
Oops, sounds like you're talking about a totally different restaurant, after reading Ituanas's post below...sorry for the mix-up....
My favorites are Machu Picchu for excellent Peruvian, Muqueca for great Brazilian with a heavy seafood emphasis, and La Casa di Pedro.
Midwest Grill is pretty decent for a slightly more upscale work dinner or going out with the guys. Waiters in uniforms, ok decor, music 7 days a week. Bit loud for going out with a date. Its also a bit inconsistent -- I think its probably a better bet on weekends with more turnover on the buffet and more meat being grilled.
Churrascaria Rodeo in Woburn does Midwest Grill a little fancier -- white table cloths, mixed drinks, wine list etc. They have music at least Thu-Sun. What they lacked was the selection of Midwest on the buffet, but might be a better date location.
Brazzille was supposed to take Framingham a bit more upscale (and downstairs at Ipanema is fairly nice too) -- its a partnership between the owner of Barriga Cheia and an American I believe, with function rooms. But I haven't been, so its hard to suggest it.
I wouldn't call any of Cafe Brazil, Muqueca, or Oasis upscale... although they each have their charms. Cafe Brazil has good music, but old carpet and pizzaria type photos on the wall. Muqueca warmly painted, but a bit sparse and no wine/food. Oasis has a function room.
As noted in other threads there isn't anything here like Porcao, Plataforma, etc.
re: itaunas
itaunas, thanks very much for the info. What do you think of Machu Picchu? Have you been there? I know it's Peruvian, so the cuisine is obviously different from the above restaurants you listed, but it sounds pretty interesting...
re: hiddenboston
I like Machu Picchu, although I haven't been in a couple of years and there are several folks who have checked out more of the menu than me (I have mostly stuck to ceviche and the lomo). They picked up a stage when they moved into the Lino's space and I think have music on weekends. Hopefully the service has improved too. They probably don't have too much in the way of mixed drinks, but I think they do have a liquor license so you can probably now get Pisco Sours there :-)
I have looked in on the new Casa de Pedro and its pretty fancy , but I always preferred some of the waltham offerings (mi tierra, etc).
re: itaunas
I like Machu Picchu but I haven't been in the new space yet. Has anyone been? Maybe hiddenboston can take one for the team and check it out....
Oh, and forgot to add you can check out the Taranta's menu and pictures of the food on bostonchefs.com. It's definitely upscale, and delicious. The cozy romantic atmosphere would be perfect for Valentine's Day.
Don Ricardo's in the South End isn't exactly upscale, but it would be mid-level. Brazilian/Peruvian.

With the current state that melee DPS are in right now in the game...(Aka you have too play way to well to accomplish what a ranged dps can do asleep) I've come up with a possible change to master Yi to give him some more live ability by giving him an option against early harassing, and making a little less susceptible to focus fire mid/late game, while adding to his awesome sword master theme.
Original skill: WuJu style
Dual Ability
Passive: Increase's Master Yi's base damage
Active: Doubles the effect for a short duration
What i would propose is that this skill is either buffed by adding my proposed effect on top of it or altered completly, this is more for the sake of pitching what i think is a cool idea rether than trying to get it balanced exacltly in this post.
New Skill: WuJu style
Dual abiliy
Basic description: master Yi's mastery of the sword is so complete he can cut arrows and even spells out of the air with a mere flick of his wrist.
Passive: Gives Master Yi a % chance to evade any ranged projectile.....
This will help with the early game harassing and let him get some last hits in a lane.
Active: Master Yi focuses all of his attention onto defending himself with his blade, giving him 100% evasion of ranged attacks AND spells.
I was thinking this could either:
A: last for a set amount of time 4-5 seconds
B: drain a % of his mana/sec....... so he can choose how long he wants to use it if he's attacking or dump all his mana to try and escape. prolly 6-7 seconds max
So what do you guys think..... comments/criticisms are appreciated, obviously this is about the idea not the numbers.
If you disagree please post any proposed ideas you have.... Melee DPS needs help and it's out job as testers to help come up with ideas about what should be done.
I agree that Master Yi needs something and I think this would definitely help. It should definitely have a set amount of time that you can have it up, so that it's not just a big middle finger to every ranged type Champion.
I also agree that it fits in well with his badass swordmaster concept.
Village Idiot
Master Yi's fine. His DPS output is so high he can gank anyone in about 3 seconds.
He's not ment to be played on the front lines leading the charge (thats a tank's job). Try ambushing from the forest instead and you'll see results.
Razzle Dazzle
Master Yi could use a small buff, but Im not sure if your idea is right. But your going in the right direction
Junior Member
If you're going to change the skill, I suggest going all the way with it. Make WuJu style have a % chance to deflect an enemy projectile BACK at the enemy. That's some jedi-shizzle right there ;]
I take issue with the skill you chose, Wuju Style is a fundamental part of the Master Yi burn. it greatly increases your damage, and when you're late game, that results in larger leeches and incredibly fast kills.
If you're looking for a change to improve melee DPS, take a trick from Warwick's book. Infinite Duress is an extremely powerful ability, it closes, stuns, and can dish out tremendous damage, without the victim being able to do anything.
On the other hand, Highlander currently requires 'skill' (timing, placement, the ability to stick to the hiney of your target), and you're not guaranteed any damage. In a game with numerous roots/stuns/non-slowing effects, it's quite simple to completely nullify Highlander.
The long and the short of it, I would not replace Wuju Style at all. It's a core ability that determines Yi's overall DPS, which can be ridiculous as noted.
That change seems a little to good for master yi, give a great hero killer, a way to sit tight and wait for back up.
If you gave him a full evasion he would have to be stationary at least for it work. i do not see someone, spliting arrows, / spells as they ran. it just seems little to good.
I would much rather see him get maybe a passive evasion bonus (like 10 15 20 25 30%), and on use increase his attack damage. by said amount, and not return the evasion until a cooldown is met. (like it is now)

Getting down to the Lord's work
First day at the tent
There's always a bit or organization the first day on the campaign, and today was no different. We began the day with breakfast and a short devo. Once at the tent, we decided on a plan of attack for evangelizing the area, and getting out the word that we were here, and what exactly we were doing here.
We had a couple of hurdles to overcome. First, the Chariot is parked outside of town. It's not far outside of town, but it isn't where people tend to congregate – near shopping malls, schools, factories, etc. The reason for that is those who went before. This area has seen its share of "churches" who come in, scoop up significant collections of money (from many who don't have all that much to spare in the first place), then leave town. Thus, the city administrators who issue permits wouldn't issue us one, because they were wary.
Second, when we normally travel with the Chariot, there are members there who can do advance work to distribute flyers and signs, and otherwise let people know we're coming. Not so in this case; there was no prep work. Along with that is the problem of studying with someone, then after they're baptized, not being able to tell them where the church meets.
Our work today
There are some well-used paths nearby the Chariot, and 3 or 4 neighborhoods. Our first order of business was to walk the neighborhoods, meeting people, telling them what this big red & white tent is doing parked next to the highway, and inviting them to study during the day and to services in the evening. Our expectations for the first day's work were thus pretty low. We're well aware of what God can do though, so it wasn't surprising to be able to conduct 3 studies today, and to have 15 present for evening services (not counting us). Low numbers for sure, but considering the situation, we think it's a great start, and we thank God for the souls he brought into our path today.
Please pray…
…that we'll do the seed-planting work the is most effective, and that God will cause that seed to fall on receptive hearts.

I am so excited and grateful to be back for another season of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles! I think it is going to be the best season yet with bigger prices, incredible properties, and new rivalries!
This past year has been a whirlwind. Business has been booming! The Altman Brothers ranked #22 in the country according to WSJ selling $225 million in the last year. A huge honor as my brother Matt and I have worked so hard to get where we are; considering just 12 years ago we were two kids from Boston that moved out to LA with no money and big dreams. We have now expanded The Altman Brothers -- locally, nationally and internationally -- so we can cater to our clients' needs anywhere and everywhere.
In addition to our clients' needs, we have offered our knowledge, time, and expertise to other real estate professionals and investors around the world through various platforms. We have had the privilege to speak to some of the largest corporations and networks worldwide about real estate and entrepreneurship. Our newest venture is our mentor program helping agents and investors take their real estate business to the next level, breaking into the high-end market, making profitable investments, and achieving overall success in real estate.
It only seems fitting since opening our mentor program to take this opportunity to talk about some of the learning experiences this episode has offered as well as a little commentary on Flagg and the new kids…of course.

Adler Juvenile Justice Internship Program
Serving some of Chicago's
most derserving communities.
Adler Juvenile Justice Internship Program (AJJI)
The Adler Juvenile Justice Internship Program is based on a partnership between the ACHS division of the Adler School of Professional Psychology and the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice and serves incarcerated youth at the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles, Illinois. Interns work with primarily underserved minority youth and provide a variety of psychological services to the youth, collaborate with mental health staff and are an integral part of the multidisciplinary team serving these youth in order to assist them in returning to their communities.
Interns provide individual and group treatment to youth, as well as comprehensive psychological evaluations, intake assessments, and crisis intervention services on a regular basis to juveniles residing in the facility. Under supervision, they function in the various services, roles and activities typical of a professional psychologist in this forensic setting. Through their clinical work and training activities, interns become competent in key areas of clinical intervention, diagnostic assessment, professional development, multicultural issues, and professional ethics and standards. The primary objective of the program is to prepare interns to become entry-level clinical psychologists. The internship program offers three full-time positions. The internship year runs from the beginning of September and ends one year later at the end of August.
Program Structure
Interns are trained by a team of diverse and well-qualified Illinois licensed clinical psychologists. The core training team includes the Training Director, three AJJI Training supervisors and the Mental Health Clinic Treatment Administrator at the Youth Center facility. The interns are also supported and can receive additional consultation, professional socialization and training opportunities from the six licensed staff psychologists available working at the youth center.
Intern Compensation
- $23,000 annual stipend
- Two weeks paid vacation
- Audit up to three courses annually
- State of Illinois holidays
- Sick time accrued monthly
Training Model
Professional psychology has been defined by Adler Community Health Services as the application of psychological knowledge and skills to forward the improvement of the human condition in the broadest sense with an emphasis on the direct delivery of professional services, including the design, implementation, and evaluation of assessment and change strategies as they are applied to individuals, families, groups, couples, and organizations.
The AJJI program is modeled after the practitioner-scholar model of training as articulated by the National Council of Schools and Programs in Professional Psychology (NCSPP). Throughout training, the integration of knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes in program areas established by NCSPP is emphasized. The program utilizes the seven core NCSPP areas and one additional area in socially responsible practice, consistent with our mission.
Program Goals
The eight goal areas of training identified by the AJJI program consistent with our practitioner-scholar model are:
- Therapeutic Relationship - Knowledge of and skill in relational therapeutics both as necessary and sufficient means of engaging and helping others
- Psychological Assessment - Knowledge of and skill in the design, administration, scoring, analysis and report writing of comprehensive assessments (including cognitive, achievement, personality, and neuropsychological assessment tools)
- Therapeutic Intervention - Knowledge of and skill in a range of intervention theories and methods; knowledge of and skill in evidence based practice; knowledge of and skill in case conceptualization and treatment planning, including treatment outcome assessment; knowledge of and skill in progress note and report writing, and record keeping
- Research/Evaluation - The integration of science and practice using the local clinical scientist model
- Consultation/Education - Knowledge of and skill in consultation and community education
- Management/Supervision - Knowledge of and skill in administrative and peer clinical supervision as well as peer mentorship
- Diversity - Knowledge of and sensitivity to individual and cultural diversity
- Socially Responsible Practice - Knowledge and appreciation of treating a person holistically and in his or her context, recognizing systemic and structural influences on health and wellbeing
Internship Training Activities
Interns provide clinical services in the form of individual, group and family treatment as well as intake, crisis intervention and assessments. They receive two hours of individual and two hours of group supervision each week, attend weekly seminars and didactics, a monthly offsite training day and participate in other meetings and seminars throughout the internship. Clinical services and training are primarily provided at the Illinois Youth Center with the monthly full day training occurring at the Adler School campus. Interns have access to the electronic journal resources of the Adler School, IT support and attendance at numerous workshops and activities provided by the school to support their internship training and learning opportunities.

|10 hours per week (approx. 8-10 cases)
|Crisis Intervention/Brief Treatment Services
|8 hours per week (approx. 10 cases)

An on-site interview is required for all final applicants to assure familiarity with the correctional setting and environment. Those invited to interview will be interviewed by the Training Director, one of the training supervisors and a current intern. After all interviews have been completed the Training Director and supervors will determine the rank list for submission to the APPIC match program.

The AJJI program at Adler Community Health Services has been an APPIC member for the past 12 years.

Favre Updated From "Out" To "Questionable"; Hutchinson To IRPosted by on December 20, 2010 – 12:06 pm
The Vikings have updated QB Brett Favre's status for tonight's game from "Out" to "Questionable." Favre will try to throw about two hours prior to kickoff and then a final determination will be made on if he can play. If Favre is able to play in the game, it is not known if he would start or be in a backup role.
The Vikings have notified both the NFL and the Chicago Bears of the update.
"Brett Favre attempted to throw the football two days ago and was unable to, due to pain in the SC joint and residual numbness from a brachial plexus injury," Vikings Head Athletic Trainer Eric Sugarman said. "He delcard himself out at that time. He woke up this morning feeling much improved. His symptoms and function have improved dramatically over the past 24 hours. In fairness to him and his team, he would like to be given the opportunity to play tonight if physically able."
Be sure to check with vikings.com at 6:00 p.m. tonight for the official list of Vikings inactives.
In other news, the Vikings have placed LG Steve Hutchinson on Injured Reserve and have promoted R.J. Archer from the Practice Squad to the Active Roster.

Vikings Tweak Roster; Add RB Lorenzo BookerPosted by on December 7, 2010 – 3:07 pm
The Vikings made a series of roster moves on Tuesday, with the most significant being the addition of RB Lorenzo Booker. Vikings Interim Head Coach Leslie Frazier said on Monday that the team was looking to sign Booker and they are hopeful the former Florida State University standout can contribute immediately, perhaps on 3rd-down situations.
To make room for Booker, the Vikings waived/injured RB Albert Young and placed him on Injured Reserve. In addition to those moves, the Vikings also waived C Adrian Martinez from the practice squad and added QB R.J. Archer to the practice. Archer was with the Vikings during the offseason program last summer.
Booker was selected in the 3rd round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. He spent the 2008 season with the Philadelphia Eagles and was a member of the UFL's Hartford Colonials in 2010.
Note: An earlier version of this entry noted that Albert Young had been waived. He's actually been waived/injured and has been placed on Injured Reserve.

June 4th is another great day for romance, passion, and relationship harmony as the moon happily connects to mars and venus throughout the day. Show your sweetie an expression of your love by making him or her breakfast in bed this Saturday. Remember, in relationships, it's the little things you do that are so important.
ARIES, LEO, SAGITTARIUS: A breakfast burrito that has a kick, could be just the thing to get your sweetie going in the morning. Hash browns or home fries made from scratch will have him or her eating out of your hand all day!
cooking spray
3/4 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 green chile pepper, seeded and diced
4 eggs
4 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Generously coat a large frying pan with cooking spray. Cook and stir chorizo over medium high heat until well browned and crumbled. Add onion and chile pepper, and continue cooking until onion is tender. Beat eggs in a bowl, and add to chorizo mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until eggs are scrambled and no longer runny. Warm flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spoon mixture into the middle of each tortilla and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up like a burrito, and enjoy!
TAURUS, VIRGO, CAPRICORN: A meat lovers scramble will give your earth sign sweetie stamina to get through tough weekend work. Scramble some eggs, bacon, sausage, and ham together with potatoes and cheese. He or she will kiss the ground you walk on.
Meat Lover's Scramble:
2 links pork sausage, 2 bacon strips, diced ham
6 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

While sausage is cooking, beat eggs and milk together. Pour eggs into griddle.
Add cheese and cooked potatoes and cook until eggs are set. Stir in meat and serve warm.
GEMINI, LIBRA, AQUARIUS: Light and fluffy will appeal to air signs. Whip up a batch of buttermilk pancakes and watch his or her heart melt this morning! Don't forget to add in their favorite fruits. Banana pancakes or blueberry will also give him or her some added nutrition.
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Beat the eggs with the buttermilk and melted butter. Combine the dry and the wet ingredients into a lumpy batter, being careful not to over mix, see Cook's Note*.
Heat some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and sprinkle the top with some of the blueberries. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and maple syrup.
CANCER, SCORPIO, PISCES: A Dungeness crab omelet could make your sweetie propose to you on the spot! Couple that with a bowl of fresh fruits and you'll be adored for the rest of the week!
Dungeness Crab Omelet:
1 cup Dungeness crab meat
1 small Onion

When you work at National Geographic, one of the first questions people ask is if you get to travel. The answer is often yes, but one of the best parts of the job is being surrounded by sharp, globe-trotting people, and getting to hear their stories. That's why we asked folks on National Geographic's Travel team to share a story about the best trip they've taken in the past year with our Intelligent Travel readers.
My family and I have sampled a wide variety of safaris throughout southern and eastern Africa. Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, and Namibia all have terrific family-friendly options. But if you asked me which country offers the best and most authentic overall experience, I'd say Botswana, hands down.
Although it's not the first one, Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area could be the largest cross-border protected area in the world, spanning five countries in southern Africa.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
To open the phone, push the surface of the phone upward. It feels most natural to do this with your thumb, but even then, we found it awkward as the front of the phone is slippery. A small plastic ledge underneath the display does make this a little easier. Yet as the navigation keypad is located underneath the ledge, we often accidentally pressed keys when we opened the phone. You can also adjust slider settings to answer calls when opened, for example, or hang up when closed.
The D900's display is absolutely stunning. At 2.2-inches on the diagonal, the 262,000-color screen displays rich and vibrant colors and easy-to-read text, even under bright daylight. As with other Samsung phones, the menu interface is colorful and animated, and we especially liked that you could view the submenu of each menu option when scrolling down the lists. You can adjust the screen's brightness, as well as its backlight timer. The dialing text can be configured with different backgrounds, font styles, font colors, and animation styles. Text messaging fonts can also be adjusted.

2013 Human Development Report was launched in Mexico
The 2013 Human Development Report was launched on 14 March in Mexico City.
The 2013 Human Development Report was launched on 14 March in Mexico City.
Ankara – The report, titled "The Rise of the South: Human Progress in a Diverse World", was presented by President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico and UNDP Administrator Helen Clark.
The 2013 Human Development Report identifies more than 40 developing countries, including Turkey, with human development gains that significantly outpaced global norms in recent decades.
The Rise of the South and Human Development
"Never in the history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast" The 2013 Report says. "The South as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries."
UNDP Administrator Helen Clark states in the foreword of the Report that "The 2013 Report makes a significant contribution to development thinking by describing specific drivers of development transformation and by suggesting future policy priorities that could help sustain such momentum."
Norway at top, Niger last
Norway, Australia and the United States lead the rankings of 187 countries and territories in the latest Human Development Index (HDI), while conflict-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo and drought-stricken Niger have the lowest scores in the HDI's measurement of national achievement in health, education and income.
Turkey in 2013 Human Development Report
Turkish Minister of Development Cevdet Yılmaz writes in the report how Turkey strengthened health, education and social support programs as a strategy to reduce poverty.
Turkey's HDI value for 2012 was calculated as 0.722 in the report —in the high human development category—positioning the country at 90 out of 187 countries and territories.

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics are the first response portion of the larger emergency medical service. Most often they work in ambulances, arriving at the scene of traumatic accidents, administering preliminary care and delivering patients to hospitals. While they are not physicians, EMTs and paramedics are required to undergo formal training – often at the certificate or associate levels – and to pass standardized examinations. This guide examines career and education options for those interested in the field.
Emergency medical personnel care for the sick and injured in emergency situations. They respond to emergency calls, assess patients' conditions, determine initial courses of care and transport patients to hospitals and other medical facilities. They work in teams and must react quickly and competently under stressful conditions.
For those considering a career as emergency medical services professionals, the first step is to choose a course to pursue. While the titles are often used interchangeably and their duties are similar, working as an EMT is not the same as working as a paramedic. EMTs typically complete between 120 and 150 hours of training to become certified. Paramedics, on the other hand, must complete between 1,500 to 1,800 of education and training and often earn a corresponding bachelor's degree. Paramedics are consequently able to administer a much broader range of medical treatments.

My Fair Lady
Miss Irene's goes from dive to delicious
Miss Irene's
This location is closed
Once upon a time there was a Fells Point bar called Miss Irene's on the corner of Ann and a street pronounced "thaymes." It was a neighborhood bar, a dive, some might say, but the folks who loved it, loved it. But things change. Today, newcomers to Fells Point pronounce the street's name as if it were the English river, and Miss Irene's (1738 Thames Street, [410] 558-0033), now a bar/restaurant, has been transformed, swan-like, into a serious spot for fine drinking and dining.
And what a transformation it is. Three years worth of renovating has yielded a truly beautiful space, particularly in the main dining room upstairs where the ceiling soars cathedral-like over wide floorboards and dormer windows allow light to glance off the dark Arts and Crafts style chairs. Walls are painted a deep maize, and though the wrought-iron chandeliers lit with faux candles are reminiscent of something you'd see in either a monastery or Medieval Times, white tablecloths and fresh flowers soften the effect. It's so appealing that I'd want to hang out at Miss Irene's even if the food wasn't good.
But happily, the food is quite nice, if a bit old-fashioned, as is the service. And in both cases, these are pluses. It feels courtly when your server responds to your "thank you" with "my pleasure," and sweetly formal when you return from a trip to the restroom to find your napkin refolded and sitting on your plate. And while I've been quietly tiring of the overabundance of comfort food coming out of area restaurants (and yes, there is white truffle macaroni and cheese on Miss Irene's menu), the international influences--a little Italian, a little French, a dash of Mediterranean--add interest.
Miss Irene's offers both entrées and small plates, but the small plates are served only in the bar, no exceptions. (We were shuffled upstairs to the dining room without the benefit of that explanation, but later found out that the hostess had started only the day before.) And while small plates like sausage and white bean cassoulet or grilled steak medallion hover around $10, making for an extremely reasonable night out, the same $10 buys an appetizer upstairs with most of the entrées falling squarely into the $15 to $25 range, another sign that this is no longer your neighborhood bar.
That said, I liked much of what we sampled at Miss Irene's. Beef carpaccio ($12) was rosy fresh, tissue thin, and dressed scantily in a light lemony mustard sauce surrounded by arugula. Though the calamari appetizer ($12) was oddly similar in preparation to the carpaccio, only with the addition of capers, potatoes, and tomato, it was grilled with a careful hand that yielded a mild, sweet smokiness.
Chef Kenneth Plante's menu offers small tweaks to traditional dishes, so his moules frites ($18) exchanges a classic white wine or beer base for a strikingly rich brown butter and brandy sauce which lent a nutty, deeper flavor to the mussels. I'm not sure I liked it better than the classic preparation, but I loved the frites, needle-thin potato shards reminiscent of Durkee Potato sticks (though a helluva lot better). The diner who ordered the ahi tuna served over housemade pasta ($25) immediately dubbed it "a super duper tuna noodle casserole," for the creamy sauce (definitely not Calabrese, as described on the menu) that graced the addictive homemade noodles. Saffron risotto ($26), chock full of perfectly cooked salmon, mussels, and shrimp also tipped high on the rich scale for its creamy bisque sauce. Over the course of the evening, we watched folks around us tackle meatier entrées, as one table inhaled Wagyu burgers, while at another, a young woman gently corrected a staff member who served a generous braised lamb shank to her date. "He didn't think this could be for a lady," she giggled.
Desserts were limited to apple galette, a trio of crème brûlées (vanilla, chocolate, and orange), and a small selection of ice creams and sorbets. And though we ordered the crème brûlée ($7) reluctantly, the orange, in particular, was a revelation of bright flavor and juiciness (the chocolate, with its consistency of soft marshmallow punctuated by chunks of chocolate was pretty swell, too).
Miss Irene's has a small but serviceable wine list and the beer selection, especially on draft, hits plenty of corners of the world. What's missing from the beer list, however, are prices. Savvy drinkers don't expect something like Affligem dubbel to come cheaply, but an $8 beer merits a heads up.
Toward the end of our meal, a gentleman from another table asked us if this was our first visit to Miss Irene's and whether or not we enjoyed our meal. Yes on both counts, we told him, asking the same in return. This was his fifth visit, he told us, pointing to the half dozen things on the menu he had already tried, but he confided, he was already looking forward to the next time. Me, too.
