moreSince the first series of Pop Idol aired in the UK just over a decade ago, Idols television shows have been broadcast in more than forty countries all over the world. In all those countries the global Idols format has been adapted to local cultures and production contexts, resulting in a plethora of different versions, ranging from the Dutch Idols to the Pan-Arab Super Star and from Nigerian Idol to the international blockbuster American Idol. Despite its worldwide success and widespread journalistic coverage, the Idols phenomenon has received only limited academic attention.Adapting Idols: Authenticity, Identity and Performance in a Global Television Format brings together original studies from scholars in different parts of the world to identify and evaluate the productive dimensions of Idols. As one of the world's most successful television formats, Idols offers a unique case for the study of cultural globalization. Chapters discuss how Idols shows address particular national or regional identity politics and how Idols is consumed by audiences in different territories. This book illustrates that even though the same television format is used in countries all over the globe, practices of adaptation can still result in the creation of unique local cultural products. less

Natural Sleep Aids
Maybe you've just crossed a few time zones, or you work the night shift, or you're just stressed out and it's interfering with your sleep. A natural remedy may help you get some restful sleep.
In some cases, insomnia may be a sign of an underlying illness. Talk with your doctor about this possibility. However, if there does not appear to be such a condition interfering with your ability to snooze, some of these natural options may help you get quality sleep.
For centuries, people have turned to the herb valerian to help them sleep. The particular plant species that is used to counter insomnia is Valeriana officinalis. Like other orally administered sleep aids, valerian is recommended for occasional insomnia only. Though it is unclear exactly how valerian works, some research suggests that, like sleeping pills, valerian affects the neurotransmitter GABA. This is still under debate. While not all clinical trials have shown valerian to be effective for sleep, there have been a number of positive studies.
The best study to date of valerian's effectiveness in treating insomnia involved 121 people followed for 28 days. Half of the participants took 600 mg of an alcohol-based valerian extract 1 hour before bedtime, the other half took a placebo. At first, there appeared to be no benefits to taking the valerian, but by the end of the study the participants treated with valerian were sleeping significantly better.
In another large study, valerian was immediately more effective than placebo. This trial followed 128 subjects who had no sleeping problems. On three consecutive nights they took either valerian, a valerian-hops combination, or placebo. The results showed that on the nights they took valerian alone, participants fell asleep faster than when they were taking placebo or the combination.
Other studies have found valerian to be equally as effective as the sleep aids oxazepam and bromazepam. There has also been some preliminary evidence that the combination of valerian and lemon balm can improve sleep quality.
The FDA categorizes valerian as GRAS—generally recognized as safe. A few people experience mild gastrointestinal distress when taking valerian, and there have been rare reports of people developing a paradoxical mild stimulant effect from valerian. Valerian does not appear to impair driving ability or produce morning drowsiness when it is taken at night, though it is recommended that you do not drive immediately after taking valerian. There have been some reports, however, of dangerous side effects from products containing valerian in combination with other potentially toxic herbs or medications, like benzodiazepines.
How to Use It
For insomnia, the standard dosage of valerian is 2 g to 3 g of dried herb, 270 mg to 450 mg of an aqueous valerian extract, or 600 mg of an alcohol-based extract, taken 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. According to the study mentioned previously that used this dosage, valerian may require weeks to reach its full effects. If you are interested in valerian, be sure to inform your doctor before taking it.
Note: There can be risks in abruptly discontinuing benzodiazepine drugs. Consult your physician for advice.
Our bodies use the hormone melatonin to help regulate our sleep-wake cycles. When exposure to light decreases, the pineal gland (located in the brain) makes serotonin and then converts it to melatonin. Taking supplemental melatonin seems to stimulate sleep when the natural cycle is disturbed. Although several studies have supported the use of supplemental melatonin to treat insomnia, there are also many studies that have found this supplement to have no effect.
Reasonably good evidence tells us that melatonin can help people with jet lag or other similar sleep disturbances adjust to a new schedule, although there have been negative studies as well. Melatonin may also be helpful for many other forms of insomnia, although the evidence isn't entirely consistent.
For instance, studies of melatonin for the treatment of insomnia related to shift work have yielded relatively unimpressive results, though generally positive results have been seen with the use of melatonin for improving sleep in the elderly. Often, results are inconsistent. For instance, while some subjects found most improvement in terms of falling asleep, others found it helpful in different parts of the sleep cycle (such as staying asleep in the middle of the night). Other small studies have found that taking melatonin can improve the quality of sleep.
Melatonin may also be beneficial for people who have difficulties falling asleep until early morning, a condition called delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS). In addition, individuals trying to quit using sleeping pills in the benzodiazepine family may find melatonin helpful.
How to Use It
Melatonin is usually taken 30-60 minutes before bedtime. The optimal dose has not yet been defined, but studies have found positive results with doses ranging from 2 mg to 10 mg. Ask your doctor what a safe dosage is for you.
Note: The long-term safety of melatonin usage has not been established. Do not give your child melatonin except under physician supervision.
Other Herbs and Supplements
Ginseng root has been used for a variety of health-promoting properties. Several studies indicate that some of the effects of ginseng on general well being may be related to its effects on maintaining normal sleep. In a study conducted for 12 weeks, a daily dose of 40 mg significantly improved quality of life, including sleep.
Several other herbs have been suggested to help promote sleep and reduce insomnia, such as kava , chamomile , and passionflower . However, there is very little scientific evidence for their efficacy. Again, talk these over with your doctor before trying them.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of tiny needles into specific points on the body. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the balanced flow of a "vital force" called qi (pronounced "chee") maintains the health of body and mind. In TCM, insomnia is thought to result from an imbalance of this qi, and acupuncture is believed to restore this balance—thereby improving sleep.
One randomized, controlled study of 40 people with sleeping difficulties found that those given acupuncture for three to five sessions at weekly intervals showed significant improvements in an objective measure of sleep. People in the control group had needles inserted, but in non-acupuncture points, and therefore did not know which intervention they were receiving. The therapists, however, could not be blinded to which therapy they were giving, so it is possible that the effects of the therapist—which could not be measured—may have affected the results.
It is unclear exactly how this therapy could help induce sleep. One theory is that acupuncture causes the release of chemicals in the central nervous system that promote calmness and sleep.
Acupressure stimulates the same healing points used in acupuncture, but does so with manual pressure, rather than needles. Proponents of acupressure feel that it can help relieve tension and many common stress-related ailments, including insomnia.
A single-blind, placebo-controlled study, done on 84 nursing home residents, found that those who received five minutes of acupressure, five times weekly for three weeks fell asleep faster and slept more soundly than those who did not receive this therapy. This study has limitations, though. Again, the therapists could not be blinded to the therapy they were providing. Those in the control group could not be blinded either—they received only conversation.
Mind-Body Therapies
There is good evidence that mental and/or physiologic arousal causes insomnia. Therapies that aim to relax the body and the mind have shown some success in helping people get to sleep. These therapies include:
- Progressive relaxation—the tensing and relaxing of various voluntary muscle groups throughout your body in an orderly sequence. The theory is that when you are emotionally tense, you unconsciously clench or tighten your muscles. Progressively relaxing your muscles releases both the physical and mental tension.
- Meditation—the focusing of your mind continuously on one thought, word (mantra), object, or mental image for a period of time. It can also involve focusing on your breathing or on sensations in your body. The goal of meditation is to quiet your mind.
- Hypnosis—a state of inner absorption, concentration, and focused attention. The unconscious mind is allowed to take over, and positive imagery and suggestions are used to help improve mental and physical health.
- Yoga—a practice that includes physical exercises, postures, balancing, breathing techniques, and meditation
Lifestyle Habits
There are a few things you can change in your lifestyle to promote good sleep. For example:
- Begin a safe exercise program with the advice of your doctor.
- If you smoke, quit.
- Cut down on alcohol and caffeine.
- Establish a regular sleep cycle.

By Martin Swant, The Birmingham News, via AL.comBIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Startup companies such as those at Innovation
Depot soon might find it easier to get early stage investment under
legislation making its way through Congress.The Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act, better known as the JOBS Act, is a package of six
bills in Congress aiming to cut the red tape and regulatory burden
start-ups often face while trying to raise money and attract investors.
One of the bills would allow what is known as "crowdfunding," a
fundraising method in which a large number of investors can pool small
amounts of money to grow a new company.The JOBS Act originated
in the House Financial Services Committee, chaired by U.S. Rep. Spencer
Bachus, R-Vestavia Hills. Bachus, one of the act's sponsors, spoke in
favor of bills on the House floor on March 7, a day before it passed. In
an interview Friday afternoon, Bachus said many start-up companies like
those at Birmingham's Innovation Depot and other incubators around the
country are a breeding ground for great ideas. But the young companies
creating new products and new services where economic growth originates
lack the funding possibilities available to larger firms.

Jewelry artists will enjoy a collection of new, less-common weaves and challenging projects that will inspire and educate.
Author Karen Karon begins by reviewing two basic chain maille weaves from her first book in order to set the stage for the more complex weaves in this book. She explains techniques needed when working beyond the basics: methods for closing a weave, working with micro rings, working large scale, and using alternative materials in weaves. The book is then divided into 4 sections, each devoted to a particular type of weave: new Persian weaves, Elf-based weaves, Hybrid weaves, and Scale weaves that incorporate sheet metal scales into traditional weaves for a striking effect. Each weave chapter contains 2 jewelry projects that develop the reader's ability to apply design to technique.
Sprinkled throughout the illustrated step-by-step instructions for each weave technique are valuable tips from Karen to help ensure a beautiful finished piece. Jewelry artists will be inspired by a variety of designs including earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

We live in a very exciting time. Never before has education been so cheaply available to the masses (if not free). The medium, itself, has made tectonic shifts from a classroom setting, to blogs, screencasts and complete university classes, as a set of videos and interactive forums. Given these resources, there's absolutely no excuse not to dive in and learn. However, with such a wealth of resources, filtering through the options can often become overwhelming. In this article, I will outline a simple process to kick-start your education.

Heartwood Butterfly Breeze Butterfly House
It's called the ''butterfly effect'': The theory that the vibrations of a butterfly fluttering its wings on one side of the planet can bring about a hurricane on the other side. But don't worry, the effect of Butterfly Breeze won't be gusty gales, just clouds of beautiful butterflies taking your yard or garden by storm.

About the ManufacturerThe roots of Heartwood extend back to 1992 when Lynda and Jerry Glass began a small Saturday craft show business attending local "festival days" across Mississippi. Their unique products were overwhelmingly received. After a few years, nature products were added, and because of demand, became the only items made. Full attention was then given to these products and they enjoyed much local success. A local merchant picked up the line from Heartwood and suggested its products could be marketed nationally. Wonderful friends provided further encouragement, and in 1998 Heartwood took its products to "market" in Atlanta.

Fun and Functional
Ronald from Fruitland Park, FL– Verified Buyer
Just the right size, this butterfly house is perfect for the gardener or backyard enthusiast looking for a way to promote butterfly activity. Open the back panel on the house, put in a few twigs as places of rest and then place the house near butterfly-attracting plants. And, presto, butterflies will not only spend the day in your habitat, they'll spend the night as well. This item is educational as well as enjoyable.
Very Nice! :)
Aimee from Swedesboro, NJ– Verified Buyer
Very very nice product! it was very easy to attach the house to the included stake.

In my book 'Druidry and Meditation' I spend a lot of time making the case for meditation as a way of engaging more deeply with life. I'm conscious that in some meditative traditions, the aim is to transcend. However, I see druidry as a faith that embraces the world we inhabit. Thus the aim of any druid activity is not, normally to escape, but to go deeper into relationship with all that is. What I want to do in this essay is cover content not in the book; namely when it is a good idea to use meditation as a way of disconnecting, and how to go about this.

What does "GA" mean on my ticket?
GA stands for General Admission. Many concerts are general admission by section, meaning that you purchase a ticket for a section of seating (denoted by color). You may sit where you like within your section.
I have a ticket for a specific seat. How do I know where I am sitting?
Seated tickets are labeled as P#-Letter (Ex. P34-A). The "P#" stands for the pew number. Numbering can be found on the brass plates located on the outside arm of each pew. Lettering runs from the outside in. Therefore, seat P34-A means you are in pew 34, closest to the aisle. Ushers will always be available at concerts for any needed assistance.
I am interested in volunteering to be an usher! How do I go about this?
We would love to have you. Please contact Janet Stone, 617-536-0944 x212.

What is Autism? What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism was first identified in 1943 by Dr. Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins Hospital. At the same time, a German scientist, Dr. Hans Asperger, described a milder form of the disorder that is now known as Asperger Syndrome. These two disorders are listed in the DSM IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) as two of the five developmental disorders that fall under the autism spectrum disorders. The others are Rett Syndrome, PDD NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder), and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder.
These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. With the May 2013 publication of the DSM-5 diagnostic manual, all autism disorders were merged into one umbrella diagnosis of ASD. Previously, they were recognized as distinct subtypes, including autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger syndrome.
ASD can be associated with intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and attention and physical health issues such as sleep and gastrointestinal disturbances. Some persons with ASD excel in visual skills, music, math and art.
Autism appears to have its roots in very early brain development. However, the most obvious signs of autism and symptoms of autism tend to emerge between 2 and 3 years of age. Autism Speaks continues to fund research on effective methods for earlier diagnosis, as early intervention with proven behavioral therapies can improve outcomes. Increasing autism awareness is a key aspect of this work and one in which our families and volunteers play an invaluable role.
How Common is Autism?
Autism statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identify around 1 in 68 children as on the autism spectrum–a ten-fold increase in prevalence in 40 years. Careful research shows that this increase is only partly explained by improved diagnosis and awareness. Studies also show that autism is four to five times more common among boys than girls. An estimated 1 out of 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism.
ASD affects over 3 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide. Moreover, government autism statistics suggest that prevalence rates have increased 10 to 17 percent annually in recent years. There is no established explanation for this continuing increase, although improved diagnosis and environmental influences are two reasons often considered.
What Causes Autism?
Not long ago, the answer to this question would have been "we have no idea." Research is now delivering the answers. First and foremost, we now know that there is no one cause of autism just as there is no one type of autism. Over the last five years, scientists have identified a number of rare gene changes, or mutations, associated with autism. A small number of these are sufficient to cause autism by themselves. Most cases of autism, however, appear to be caused by a combination of autism risk genes and environmental factors influencing early brain development.
In the presence of a genetic predisposition to autism, a number of nongenetic, or "environmental," stresses appear to further increase a child's risk. The clearest evidence of these autism risk factors involves events before and during birth. They include advanced parental age at time of conception (both mom and dad), maternal illness during pregnancy and certain difficulties during birth, particularly those involving periods of oxygen deprivation to the baby's brain. It is important to keep in mind that these factors, by themselves, do not cause autism. Rather, in combination with genetic risk factors, they appear to modestly increase risk.
A growing body of research suggests that a woman can reduce her risk of having a child with autism by taking prenatal vitamins containing folic acid and/or eating a diet rich in folic acid (at least 600 mcg a day) during the months before and after conception.
Increasingly, researchers are looking at the role of the immune system in autism. Autism Speaks is working to increase awareness and investigation of these and other issues, where further research has the potential to improve the lives of those who struggle with autism.
What Does It Mean to Be "On the Spectrum"?
Each individual with autism is unique. Many of those on the autism spectrum have exceptional abilities in visual skills, music and academic skills. About 40 percent have average to above average intellectual abilities. Indeed, many persons on the spectrum take deserved pride in their distinctive abilities and "atypical" ways of viewing the world. Others with autism have significant disability and are unable to live independently. About 25 percent of individuals with ASD are nonverbal but can learn to communicate using other means. Autism Speaks' mission is to improve the lives of all those on the autism spectrum. For some, this means the development and delivery of more effective treatments that can address significant challenges in communication and physical health. For others, it means increasing acceptance, respect and support.
How Did My Child Develop Autism?
Research suggests that the development of autism is rooted in very early brain development. However, in most cases, no one cause can be identified. Research has identified several genes that can cause autism in and of themselves. These account for about 15 percent of cases of autism spectrum disorders. Research has identified more than 100 genes or gene changes (mutations) that increase the risk that a child will develop autism. In most cases, genetics alone can't distinguish why one person has autism and another does not. Gene-environment interactions appear to be at play. When scientists use the term "environment," they are referring to a wide range of nongenetic factors. Those most associated with increased autism risk include advanced parental age at time of conception and prematurity with very low birth weight. Other possible environmental risk factors include maternal diabetes or infection during pregnancy and certain birth complications, particularly those that may involve oxygen deprivation to a baby's brain. Autism Speaks continues to fund a wealth of studies on the causes of autism, including research on gene-environment interactions that may increase autism risk. You can explore these and other studies using our Grant Search.
Are Vaccines to Blame?
Many studies have been conducted to determine if a link exists between immunization and increased prevalence of autism, with particular attention to the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and vaccines containing the preservative thimerosal. These studies have found no link between vaccines and autism. We strongly encourage parents to have their children vaccinated, because this will protect them against serious diseases. It remains possible that, in rare cases, immunization might trigger the onset of autism symptoms in a child with an underlying medical or genetic condition. Autism Speaks is funding studies on the underlying biology of autism, including studies to better understand medical and genetic conditions associated with autism.
We recognize that some parents may still have concerns about vaccines, especially those parents who already have a child or relative with an autism spectrum disorder. Because parents and guardians differ in their sensitivity and concern about this issue, we urge them to find a pediatrician or other health practitioner who will partner with them to consider their concerns and help them ensure the optimal well-being of their child. Establishing open communication and trust with a physician who understands each child and his or her family is the best strategy for keeping a child healthy.
How Can I Tell if My Child Has Autism?
Though autism cannot be definitively diagnosed until around 18 to 24 months, research shows that children as young as 8 to 12 months may exhibit early signs. Parents should look for symptoms such as no back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial expressions by 9 months; no babbling or back-and-forth gestures (e.g. pointing) by 12 months; or any loss of babbling, speech or social skills at any age. For more information, please see our Signs and Symptoms page and the "Developmental Milestones" section of our Video Glossary.
What Should I Do if I Suspect Something is Wrong With My Child?
Don't wait. Talk to your doctor or contact your state's Early Intervention Services department about getting your child screened for autism. (For more information and public resources, see the Early Intervention section of our 100 Day Tool Kit, or view our other Tool Kits here.) Research has consistently shown that early diagnosis and intervention offer the best chance for improving function and maximizing a child's progress and outcomes.
How Do I Get My Child the Help He or She Needs?
In addition to the Early Intervention Services mentioned above, it's important to make sure your child has a knowledgeable and reputable healthcare team. This means finding doctors, therapists, psychologists and
teachers who understand and have experience with autism and can respond to his shifting needs appropriately.
The Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network (ATN) is a ground-breaking network of hospitals, physicians, researchers and families at 17 locations across the United States and Canada. ATN clinicians work together to develop the most effective approach to medical care for children and adolescents affected by autism. The ATN's aim is to provide comprehensive, high-quality care by teams of healthcare professionals who understand autism spectrum disorders and excel at treating associated medical conditions including the sleep disturbances and gastrointestinal problems that can vex children with ASD and their families. You can locate your nearest ATN center here.
What if I Suspect that I Have Autism?
Many persons with Asperger syndrome or other high-functioning forms of autism never received a diagnosis as a child. They may be diagnosed as adults when seeking help for related problems at work or in their social lives. Consider asking your physician for a referral to an appropriate specialist. Professionals qualified to make an adult autism diagnosis include licensed clinical psychologists, neurologists and psychiatrists. Some nurse practitioners, social workers and master's level psychologists likewise have the expertise to diagnose autism in adults.
How Do I Deal with this Diagnosis?
For adults, an autism diagnosis may bring relief in terms of an explanation for their lifelong struggles. For parents, the first months after learning that their child has a developmental disorder can be emotional, confusing and challenging. For this reason, Autism Speaks has developed the 100 Day Tool Kit, to help families navigate the often-tumultuous first 100 days after a child's diagnosis. You can find all of our tool kits here.

Patent troll sues Oprah, Sony over online book viewing
An IP-squatting firm is suing Oprah Winfrey's production company and Sony Electronics over patent infringement for using and promoting software that displays books on the internet. Illinois Computer Research claims Oprah's Bookclub violates its US Patent 7,11,252 - a method of "Enhancing touch and feel on the internet." The …
Permanent solution
Surely if these IP slugs were to die whenever they sued that would tend to reduce their numbers.
its just a shame apple arent being sued aswell otherwise it would have been just perfect
All your base are belong to us.
Which stupid git at the USPO granted that one?
They're smart though. Oprah will probably settle to avoid sullying her all important pristine reputation for distributing mindless pap to Americans who'd rather not have think for themselves.
Patent date : 2000
Wouldn't that mean there was prior art in the area?
I mean, call me cynical but I was viewing information about books online waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy before 2000 :)
Takin care o bidness
Makes sense to get as many of the family that can read into the friendly chairs in the courthouses of the world's most leading nation.
Any prior art around?
Like, say, allowing customers to browse the stock in a real, bricks 'n mortar bookshop, but not letting them take the whole book away without paying?
I wonder who the unsung genius was who "invented" that one.......
This is just daft. No ... It's silly. Monty Python stile.
Punter: "Hi! I'm selling something! Here's a description, and a preview!"
Lawyers: "You can't do that ... we have a Patent!"
The mind boggles ... What's next, is this group of idiots going to sue the newspapers of the world for printing classifieds? Or (hopefully) they will win, and there will be no more ads on TV or radio ...
As I said, silly.
Hope he wins....
...then Phil K can sue for double the money for unauthorised use of his works for profit (i.e using the title of his works to gain said money from lawsuit).
This should be fun to watch!
Much as I wouldn't mind seeing anything to do with Oprah (all-time most annoying woman on TV) taking a kicking, I can't see heavyweights like Amazon sitting quietly in the corner and letting this parasite build a possible precedence case to come at them with later. I suspect Amazon would be quite happy to provide extensive evidence of prior art.
I thought for a patent the subject couldn't be 'obvious' and there had to be no prior-art?
Oh, this would be America, right?
Mine's the one with 'Patent For Computing Device' in the pocket.
More proof (if it were needed)...
...that lawyers are just a cancer on society. They create nothing and they destroy everything.
I wonder how long it'll be..
...before the rest of the world tells the US to roll its half-arsed patent system up, coat it in Vaseline and put it in the appropriate storage? Seems to me that any company or individual wanting to launch something even vaguely innovative would do well to avoid The Land Of The Free (TM) as grasping chancers like this guy who would push ROI through the floor in a couple of months.
Paris because... well, Vaseline...
To quote from the patent..
"A system for enabling touch and feel over the internet provides a three-dimensional representation of a good being sold, that three-dimensional representation being viewable from a number of different directions."
I can't see how this is interesting when dealing with books, but it's simple enough to set up a service as discussed in the article without going fancy 3D. Why the hell would you? Also, wtf do they even mean by "touch and feel"? I'm pretty sure I don't get a haptic interface when reading through Kindle.
Patent pending?
I seem to remember someone had patented patent trolling *searches* [url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/10/halliburton_patent/]haha![/url] And if you read [url=http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20080270152&OS=20080270152&RS=20080270152]this[/url] it's clear that suing Oprah and Sony is a violation of Halliburtons intellectual property. Should we warn them??
I feel I'm in the wrong universe sometimes. Does any of this actually make sense to the natives?
Paris, as a counter weight to this madness...
The firm seeks an undisclosed amount of damages.
Well seeing as how they lost nothing, having never had any intention of producing anything with their "IP", they can go fuck themselves.
If you ever wanted to see why the people hold the legal system in such comtempt, then this would be a good example.
who's that crossing my IP bridge
has anyone yet patented the act of filing for patents? surely a money spinner to fill the coffers of all patent trolls out there. Seriously though, how do these patents get through? Don't you have to have an actual product you have made anymore? just the vaguest of ideas? Is this the basis for the term 'patently absurd'?
No comments about them.
But laws should be changed to avoid the possibility of patent trolling, methinks. These scums who buy patents just to sue are parasites, and as such must be "exterminated". Aren't patents supposed to give incentive to innovation and all that? So, if you hold a patent but do not produce or demonstrate research on anything based on the patent (let's say, after a certain amount of time), then you should either not be able to sue to enforce it (because that's stifling innovation and production, just the opposite of the "spirit of the law"). Or, preferably, lose it.
Stupid move
I hope they get destroyed; (*&$ing trolls!
They've chosen to sue somebody who is rich, popular, and articulate... who also likes taking up causes. If Oprah decides to fight this watch out.
Can you imaging Oprah in front of a jury? She'd have them crying in their seats.
It's time they were referred to the case of...
Arkell versus Pressdram
My Patent
I've decided to patent the idea of coming up with a new idea.
> Or (hopefully) they will win, and there will be no more ads on TV or radio ..
That would be the BBC then? (Apart from ukTV though, mostly BBC but looong adverts.)

This is how disinterested we are in hockey this season: We had no idea till Richie said so that the Stars had a female public address announcer. That's cool.

Parker said he was attacked Aug. 4 while going to the Fenuxe Fire Party in Atlantic Station. The initial police report states Parker told police it was "not a big deal" and did not want medical treatment, according to a police report. He did eventually agree to medical treatment and received stitches to close up a wound near his eye. Surveillance cameras are located throughout Atlantic Station and Campos said Atlantic Station officials are working with APD to ensure video is made available to the APD as it investigates the alleged attack. "Atlantic Station is working with us to make sure we get any video footage that might exist of this reported assault," Campos said.

A Cleveland woman died Sunday night when the truck in which she was riding rear-ended another truck on the Indiana Toll Road east of the Angola exit, Indiana State Police said today.
Toyia Hill-Griffin, 37, died at the scene of the 10:40 p.m. crash, state police at Fort Wayne said in a statement.
Police said a truck driven by Ramon D. Griffin, 38, of Cleveland was headed east on the Toll Road when it rear-ended a slow-moving truck driven by Veguilla Aquino, 66, of Chicago.
Griffin was taken to Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne with numerous injuries, police said. His condition was not immediately known.
Neither Aquino nor his passenger were injured, police said. They said all were wearing seat belts, but because of the crash's severity, Hill-Griffin's injuries could not have been reduced.
Other slower-moving traffic was present at the time, police said. They said the crash remains under investigation.
State police were assisted by the Steuben County Sheriff's Department, EMS and coroner's office, Parkview Samaritan, Fremont Fire Department and the state police's Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division.

text: 'Life of Pi' Bluray Review: A Perfect Family Film by John Nolte 13 Mar 2013 post a comment Share This: When the hype surrounding a film focuses on its "gorgeous visuals," there's reason to worry. This usually means that we're in for a "Avatar"/"Hugo"/"Tintin" experience where the film looks great but the story is duller than National Public Radio. Thankfully, though, that's not even close to the case with "Life of Pi," the film that just on Ang Lee a well-deserved directing Oscar (his second). -- \ -- From the opening scene, the narrative grabs your attention as a forty-ish Pi (Irrfan Khan) tells a story to a disillusioned novelist desperate for a story to tell. Pi delivers in a big way with an exciting, harrowing, and, ultimately, very moving tale of how as a teenager (a superb Suraj Sharma) he found himself alone on a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific with only a ferocious Bengal tiger for a companion. If you think you know how the story ends just because Pi survives, think again. David Magee's perfectly structured screenplay (based on the novel by Yann Martel) is not only filled with wonderful surprises but moments that will linger with you for days. There's no question the film is beautiful to look at, but that's the least of its charms. What we have here is the rare Hollywood offering filled with humanity, love of family, a wonderfully innocent teenage romance, and religious faith. "Pi" is also rated PG, and therefore a perfect family film that deserves to become a family classic. "Life of Pi" hits Bluray today.

Checkout The First Edition Of The 'Sunday Slant'Posted by on September 4, 2011 – 4:12 pm
On Sunday morning we debuted a brand-new weekly feature on vikings.com called the "Sunday Slant." This weekly op-ed style piece will be posted on Sunday mornings throughout the regular season and will touch on the hot-button topics in the world of the Vikings and the NFL as you prepare for another Vikings game day.
This week's "Sunday Slant" is a season-preview edition and will serve as a "toes in the water" version of this new feature. It includes my thoughts on Head Coach Leslie Frazier, predictions on who will win each of the NFL's divisions and a few Vikings to watch early in the season. Next week, and in subsequent installments throughout the season, we'll dive right into the topics on everyone's mind – and we'll offer plenty of opinions along the way.
Also, don't forget to utilize the comments feature at the bottom of the feature to chime in with your opinion and contribute to the discussion with other Vikings fans. You can click here or on the "Sunday Slant" link above to read the first installment.

Brothers of Brooklyn serves up an extensive menu of breakfast and lunch offerings in a New York–style atmosphere. Meander in morning or afternoon to munch bagels decked out in spreads, veggies and meats, egg breakfasts, and latter-day sandwiches. Breakfast specials (served until 11:30 a.m.) offer patrons prototypical morning fare, such as a trio of chocolate-chip pancakes served like a decadent subpoena with a choice of bacon or sausage ($5.95). Meanwhile, the all-day breakfast lineup features egg-centric eats, including a spanish omelette stuffed with green peppers, onion, pepperoncini, tomato sauce, and cheese, and served on a novelty-size pair of castanets ($6.75). Fresh-baked bagels ($0.80, $1.95 with cream cheese) are also available throughout the day and come in 10 varieties, running the gamut from sweet (e.g., cinnamon raisin and blueberry) to savory (e.g., onion and everything bagels).
The bakers behind Cupcake.Love.Miami fill their huge menu of desserts with unexpected and creative flavors. Some emulate childhood favorites, such as the PB-and-J-inspired Goober and watermelon Jolly Rancher. Other categories are dedicated to refreshing summer beverages, breakfast staples such as Froot Loops, and seasonal flavors such as pumpkin pie. These flavors take shape as cupcakes, cake pops, or full-grown cakes that can feed up to 95 people and arm as many food catapults. No matter what its shape or size, each dessert flaunts a distinct artistic vision with intricate fondants and other toppers.
The gourmet treats at Häagen-Dazs delight discerning palates with a variety of frozen goodies in indulgent flavors. Made from top-quality ingredients, Haagen-Dazs ice creams and sorbets confidently fill cups and top cones ($4.20-$6.00) or blend into shakes ($6.25) and smoothies ($6.50) in an attempt to lose taste-bud tails. Each Dazzler's three scoops of ice cream settle under whipped-cream peaks, with flavors including Dulce Split, Mint Chip, and Rocky Road ($6.95). Patrons select toppings, sauces, and ice-cream flavors to form customizable sundaes ($5.50-$6.95), or deploy straws to taste a Sorbet Sipper ($5.95), which is made of sorbet and then sipped.
Betty Marichal founded Miami Spice Bakery as an oasis for those seeking sumptuous fresh-baked desserts, without the diet guilt. This means almond and pumpkin cakes, homemade bread, brownies, and delicious flan––all completely free of lactose. The bakery's cakes are sugar free, sweetened naturally with top-shelf liquors, and can be purchased gluten free. Clients may also solicit the bakery for an elaborate custom-decorated cake to woo a lover or stone-faced judge.
To say that liquid nitrogen is cold would be an understatement?it boils at -195.8 degrees Celsius. But, as the ice-cream makers at Nitrogen Ice Cream Factory know, that remarkable fact can be put to delicious use. They use the liquid to quick-freeze ice cream, crafting each rich scoop to order on appropriately scientific looking equipment.
InStyle Cupcakes is known by many in the Miami-Dade and Broward areas to provide the most delicious cupcakes for every event, occasion, and holiday.
