Copyright and Fair Use
A healthy copyright system must balance the need to provide strong economic incentives through exclusive rights with the need to protect important public interests like free speech and expression. Fair use is foundational to that balance. It's role is to prevent copyright from stifling the creativity it is supposed to foster, and from imposing other burdens that would inhibit rather than promote the creation and spread of knowledge and learning.
The Fair Use Project (FUP) was founded in 2006 to provide legal support to a range of projects designed to clarify, and extend, the boundaries of fair use in order to enhance creative freedom and protect important public rights. It is the only organization in the country dedicated specifically to providing free and comprehensive legal representation to authors, filmmakers, artists, musicians and other content creators who face unmerited copyright claims, or other improper restrictions on their expressive interests. The FUP has litigated important cases across the country, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and worked with scores of filmmakers and other content creators to secure the unimpeded release of their work.

Konomark and Decoupage – Who'd Have Thunk It?
By Eric E. Johnson • November 14, 2013 at 11:30 am
One of the coolest konomark requests I've received so far came from Judi Pennella, who sought permission to use a photo of mine to decoupage a play kitchen cabinet for her 2-year-old granddaughter.
The photo is of a burner on an electric stove (below right). You can see in the picture she sent me (right), how she used it to make a simulated range.
Konomark is my project with CIS to create a simple way for people to signal their willingness to receive requests for re-use of photos or other copyrighted content on a no-fee basis. Read more » about Konomark and Decoupage – Who'd Have Thunk It?

Recurring Myths About the Legal Obligations of Online Platforms
By Marvin Ammori • September 5, 2013 at 9:36 am
In recent months, some copyright holders, pharmaceutical companies, and state attorneys general have made allegations against Internet companies that help users find and share information. In short, they claim that because some users engage in copyright infringement, sell counterfeit products, or otherwise encourage potentially criminal activity on the Internet, the users' Internet platforms should be held responsible for these misdeeds. That is, Google should be punished for any user's copyright infringement on YouTube, Facebook for any user's harassing post, and Twitter for any user's slanderous tweet. According to the critics, that is, these companies should screen all users' speech and take on the role of editors or publishers, rather than being open platforms for the speech of millions.

Lohan, Noriega video game lawsuits are a troubling sign for the artsAuthor(s):Christopher SprigmanPublication Date:October 30, 2014Publication Type:Other Writing
Former Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega and actress Lindsay Lohan have at least one thing in common: Both recently filed high-profile lawsuits against video game makers, charging that their likenesses were used in games without their permission.
These suits may seem like acts of desperation by people now more notorious than famous, and a judge has already ruled against Noriega. But they are nevertheless extremely worrying. Read more » about Lohan, Noriega video game lawsuits are a troubling sign for the arts
Piracy Fuels the Fashion IndustryAuthor(s):Christopher SprigmanPublication Date:September 8, 2014Publication Type:Other Writing
When, in 2011, Oprah Winfrey asked Ralph Lauren how he "keeps reinventing," Mr. Lauren answered: "You copy. Forty-five years of copying; that's why I'm here." Mr. Lauren, a Jewish kid from the Bronx who built a spectacular career reinterpreting the look of the old WASP aristocracy, was at least partly joking. But what made the quip funny was the fact that knockoffs are — and always have been — a pervasive part of fashion. Read more » about Piracy Fuels the Fashion Industry

Hollywood's Copyright Lobbyists Are Like Exes Who Won't Give UpAuthor(s):Marvin AmmoriPublication Date:March 10, 2014Publication Type:Other Writing
You know when you break up with someone and they just don't get the message? A few months later, they're trying again, testing the waters with a few small things that just keep getting bigger. They friend you again on Facebook. They start liking your posts. They show up at a party they expect you to be at. They ask you for drinks, just to "catch up," you know? And then they talk about the way things used to be, and if only you two could try again. And you're like, "What part of 'I never want you to be a part of my life' did you not understand?"

Fairey v. The Associated Press
We represented visual artist Shepard Fairey in connection with the AP's claim that his iconic "Hope" poster in support of President Obama's campaign infringes the AP's copyrights. We represented Fairey because we believe his artistic transformation of a news photograph to convey a political message fell within the protection of the fair use doctrine and presented an important example of why fair use is essential for free expression.

Shloss v. Estate of Joyce

Amazon granted patent for taking photos against a white background – seriouslyDate published:May 9, 2014
"Amazon hasn't replied to questions from El Reg as to what use this patent could be put to, so we consulted the Electronic Frontier Foundation's staff attorney Daniel Nazer, who in March was appointed to the organization's "Mark Cuban Chair to Eliminate Stupid Patents" chair.
"Sometimes I feel that the patent system is a common sense–free zone," Nazer said. "With the Amazon patent, this wouldn't be a hard patent to design around, but it's completely baffling that a patent on this would issued.""

Adam Carolla is Bummed About Patent Trolls Taking All His MoneyDate published:May 5, 2014
""The basic technology that they claim was invented before they filed their patent," Nazer explains. "This one is a bit complicated because the patent system allows you to write claims many, many years after you file the patent. If the claims bear enough relationship with that old application you can claim priority all the way back. They're writing claims for what the technology looks like today and are pretending they invented it back in 1996. That explains why these guys never did any podcasting: because it wasn't really on their minds. Read more » about Adam Carolla is Bummed About Patent Trolls Taking All His Money
Podcasting in peril? Trial showdown in SeptemberDate published:May 4, 2014
"Daniel Nazer, an EFF staff attorney, is working to invalidate PersonalAudio's patent — which Logan described: "system for disseminating media content representing episodes in a serialized sequence."
"We think there's a really good case that PersonalAudio didn't invent podcasting like they claim," Nazer says. "There's no question that distributing cassettes isn't podcasting. If they had invented podcasting, they would have done some podcasting."" Read more » about Podcasting in peril? Trial showdown in September

Intermediary Liability on the Internet - Ashley Hurst - Video
November 6, 2012
The extent to which internet intermediaries such as Facebook and Google should be liable for unlawful content on the internet is currently facing a great deal of scrutiny in Europe. Like in the US, internet intermediaries in Europe are expected to assist in the prevention of copyright infringement. However, they do not have the wide protection against defamation and privacy claims provided by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act 1996 in the US. Over the last few years, they have therefore found themselves being named in lawsuits in respect of user-generated content.

I'm researching midwives/birthing centers/hospitals in our area, and there seem to be a number of good options. In particular I've found a midwife who is highly praised for her homebirths on MDC, who also does hospital births. She seems like a good fit for us since a homebirth isn't a good option for us.
The only thing is, the hospital she works out of is a good half hour drive from us, more if there's traffic. Is that too far? I'm just not sure what a reasonable distance is. I'm used to being within walking distance of everything!
It depends on what you're comfortable with. Is it just the midwife who's that far away, or is the hospital at that distance too? For me, my doctor and hospital are about a 20 minute drive with no traffic, about 35 minutes if the roads are backed up. And I'm okay with that. I don't think yours is unreasonably far away.
We're 45 minutes from our hospital without traffic. Now the chances of traffic are slim 'cause most of the drive is rural - but it's still a solid 45 minutes.
Many of my patients are up to 90 minutes away---geography is rural and moutainous. It is uncommon to have such an emergency that you can't get to the hospital in time---odds of a 2 hour labor is slim! 30 minutes here is nothing.
Thanks ladies!
The only other time we've been to the hospital is for the ER, and that's a 10 minute walk from here. But I'm pretty sure I don't want to have a baby at that hospital... it's only redeeming quality is that it's nearby.
Almost 4 weeks ago, I ended up with a non-emergency homebirth transfer to a hospital that was 1 1/2 hours away. I was laying in the back of our car pushing the whole way (baby wasn't descending). His heart tones were great the whole time, but if they hadn't been, we would have gone to a hospital that is 5 minutes away, but knowing this hospital, they would have done a c-section immediately. As it were, the amazing hospital I went to supported me to be able to have a vaginal birth! I guess what I'm saying is that all the pain & uncomfortableness of being in the car during labor was SO worth it to have a supportive birth team, so I say to go for it!
I would say whatever you are comfortable with. Both of my kids were born at a hospital about 30 mins away, my son was breech and a booked c section, but I went into labor before it was booked. When we got to the hospital I was already 10cms and they rushed the surgeon in. My daughter was supposed to be a follow up c section, but I went into labor, when we got to the hospital I was 8 cms, so she ended up being a VBAC with no drugs :)
My doctor, knowing my history with very fast labor, was still very comfortable with me travelling the 30 mins to the hospital I was most comfortable with.
Is this your first pregnancy? I'd guess that most (not all) women would have a long enough labor with a 1st baby that they would have enough time to get to the hospital. However, if you have had babies before and have a history of super-fast labors then perhaps you might worry about the distance.
I think it has a lot to do with your won comfort level. For me, the hospital is 20 min away, but easily double that in traffic. I knew I wanted to do most of my laboring at home, so the only part that felt tricky to me was figuring out how long to wait until going to the hospital, so that I wasn't there too soon, but also so that I wouldn't have to do the drive in the midst of transition or while pushing.
I actually WAS starting to go into transition during the drive and it was very uncomfortable, (and I threw up repeatedly as soon as I arrived at the hospital- all over the hall, all over the triage room, everything!) but I felt good about the timing- enough time to get settled and get in the tub, but not too much time. I also had a doula with me who helped me think it through and it was nice to have her expertise.
We lived about 40 minutes away from the hospital when DD was born. I went into labor in the wee hours of the morning, so there was no traffic. We also left way too early (looking back). My water hadn't even broken. We definitely had plenty of time.
We lived 1.5hrs away from the hospital I delivered my little one's at. I don't think that is unreasonable.
To me it doesn't sound bad, but I live in a rural area and so EVERYWHERE with a hospital is a 30 minute drive. I did express some concern about the 45 minute drive to the hospital I will be delivering at, and the doctor said it wouldn't be an issue, since it is my first.

Macy's Q1 Tops Street On Earnings Despite Headwinds
Wednesday May 15th, 2013 - 11:59AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the first quarter ended May 4, Macy's, Inc. today reported earnings of $217 million, or 55 cents per diluted share, versus $181 million, or 43 cents per diluted share, for the period last year. Comparable store sales increased 3.8% from last year's first quarter.
Earnings beat a published analyst consensus estimate by two cents per share while sales were in line with the average assessment.
Overall sales in the first quarter increased 4% to $6.39 billion. Operating income was $435 million, or 6.8% of sales, compared with $391 million, or 6.4% of sales, for the 2012 first quarter.
"We are especially pleased with our first quarter sales and earnings performance given the challenges we overcame in this period," said Terry Lundgren, Macy's chairman, president and CEO. "These included sustained, unseasonably cool spring weather in our northern climate zones. In addition, we saw weakness among some of the most budget-conscious consumers, as well as among our higher household income Bloomingdale's customers. We are continuing to pursue myriad new growth opportunities within our time-tested M.O.M. strategies: My Macy's, Omnichannel and Magic Selling. These strategies continue to work individually— and in unison— at Macy's to meet the needs of customers seeking fashion, quality, value and convenience."
Lundgren added that the first quarter demonstrated Macy's continuing ability, "to build on our success over the past few years in growing sales and earnings. Based on the effectiveness of strategies we have in place, we are confident that momentum will continue going forward, which is reflected in the actions we are announcing today to increase returns to our shareholders through an increased dividend and share repurchases."
Macy's board of directors authorized an increase in the quarterly dividend on the company's common stock to 25 cents per share from the previous 20 cents per share. The board also increased Macy's share repurchase authorization by $1.5 billion. In addition, on May 10, the company entered into a new $1.5 billion, five-year credit agreement that will mature on May 10, 2018. The new deal replaces a previous $1.5 billion facility maturing in June 2015, the company related.
In the first quarter, Macy's opened one new store in Victorville, CA, the company noted.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - An Israel Museum conservator says restudying a 6,000-year-old shroud from the Judean Desert may shed new light on the Shroud of Turin.
Olga Negnevitsky, one of the museum's staff members who helped preserve the shroud after its discovery in a cave near Jericho, would like to reexamine the ancient find using updated methods.
"If we reexamine the shroud with all the latest modern technology, then maybe we will find out more information that will help solve the secrets of the Shroud of Turin," she said.
From 1998 to 2003, the Judean shroud was on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Afterward, it could be viewed at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, before being stored by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).
Negnevitsky and her colleagues are hoping the IAA will grant permission to restudy the Judean shroud, discovered not too far from where the Shroud of Turin was found.
"This is another source that could shed light on the mystery of the Shroud of Turin," Professor Amos Notea, from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, said.
"It was here the whole time, but no one connected it until now," said the professor.

Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Dec. 3, 1963 B. w. COTTON ETAL NURSE CALL AND UTILITY UNIT Filed June 1. 1961 /N VENTORS BY/ 5MM/f5 BERYL W. COTTON TIMOTHY L. THOMAS FIG. 4.
TTORNEY United States Patent O 3,112,968 NURSE GALL AND UTILITY UNET Beryl W. Cotton, 1941 Yosemite, and Timothy L. Thomas, 3024 Bryan, both of Fort Worth, Tex. Filed .lune 1, 1961, Ser. No. 114,095 1 iaim. (Cl. 31h- 248) This invention relates to electrical communication systems used in hospitals and refers more particularly to the equipment provided 4for the patient to use for calling the nurse, watching television, listening to radio, piped music or talking on an intercom or telephone.
rI`he present equipment provided for these services involves the necessity of having various wires or pull chains draped over the head of the bed or lying on the pillow, or alongside the patient. Besides the inconvenience of becoming entangled in the wires or rolling over on such an uncomfortable yobject as a television control, the push button or chain for calling the nurse may accidentally fall away from the bed out of reach of the patient. Furthermore, whenever the bed is moved or remade, all these wires and devices have to be rearranged.
It is the purpose of this invention to provide a single, adjustable wall-suspended cabinet to contain all the necessary control buttons, outlets and lights, including a speaker and a telephone set, which are required by cornrnunication services in a hospital room; a cabinet which can be folded compactly against the wall when not in use but which can be extended a considerable distance and in a wide range of positions over or alongside the bed, and a cabinet which the patient can reach yfrom almost any position and which always presents the same pattern of controls -in the same relative position to each other so that he quickly learns Where everything is and has no trouble locating the control for any part of the system he wishes to use.
A yfurther purpose of lthis invention is to provide a cabinet for the aforesaid purpose which serves equally well while the patient is able to sit up in a chair.
In the accompanying drawing, lwhich is a part of this description FIGURE 1 is a plan view of the cabinet and bracket.
FIGURE 2 is a side elevational view of the cabinet and bracket.
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the cabinet extended on 1in-e 5-5 of the bracket in a typical position relative to the patient.
`FIGURE 4 is a plan View showing the cabinet folded flat against the wall.
FIGURE 5 is a cross section taken on FIGURE 2.
The for-m of the invention shown consists essentially of a rectangular cabinet 10 containing a telephone compartment 1K1, a compartment 12 for switch elements, and a speaker compartment 13. This cabinet is supported in a special manner described hereinafter on a swinging forked bracket 14 pivotally connected to a wall box 15 which may be adapted to contain auxiliary electrical equipment and which is preferably mounted within the wall 16 with only the yface plate y-17 and access panel 18 visible.
The [forked bracket 14 cons-ists of an upper arm 19 and a lower arm 2d connected by a rigid column 21 and each arm having a rearward extension 22 pivotally attached to ICC vbox is.
The outer ends of the arms 19l and Ztl of the forked bracket 14 are pivotally attached to a metal channelshaped receptacle 25 open on its side and having flanges 26 top and bottom. Each flange 26 contains on its inner surface a groove 27 running parallel to the channel.
Brazed permanently within each groove 27 is a hardened steel rod 28, with slightly more than half o-f its diameter exposed. The exposed side of the rods 28 engage slidably with similar -grooves 29 cut lengthwise in the top an-d bottom surfaces of the cabinet 10 and after the cabinet 10 is thus engaged within the receptacle 25, stops 30 are secured within the ends of groove Z9 to keep the cabinet 10 4from being accidentally withdrawn from the receptacle 25.
The front o-f the compartment '12 holds an assortment of knobs, push buttons and plugs collectively numbered 31 which may control a variety of equipment, including a nurse call, speaker volume control, tuning for AM and FM radio contained in compartments 12 and 13, overhead and reading lights, doctors examination light and controls for TV set standing elsewhere in the room. The speaker or speakers contained in the compartment 13 may serve for intercom, radio and TV or piped in music.
A flexible cable 32 vcarries all the necessary circuits from the cabinet 10 to the wall box 15 through the removable access plate `18 where it connects with the various standard circuits running through the hospital.
As can be seen from the drawing, the forked bracket 14 carrying the cabinet 1t)` can be swung in an 180 are around the hinges 23 while the lcabinet 10 can be faced in any direction due 4to the pivoted connection between the receptacle Z5 and the `forked bracket 14. In addition, the cabinet 10 can be pulled nearly its full length beyond the bracket 14 so that it will extend all the way over a bed in front of the patient, or it can be set at an angle for easy access, as shown in FIGURE 3. When not in use, however, the cabinet 10 can be pushed back between the arms of bracket 14 and stowed compactly against the wall as shown in FIGURE 4.
In any case there is never a wire or call button or any other paraphernalia resting on the bed or getting lost under the covers or behind the patients head as is often the case with present equipment. All the controls remain in the same pattern, regardless of being 4moved about. It can be seen, therefore, that this cabinet offers many advantages over the present type of equipment and is more acceptable to both patients and nurses.
rIhe invention is not limited to the exemplary construction herein shown and described, but may be made in various ways Within the scope of the appended claim.
What is claimed is: y
A hospital room utility unit comprising:
an elongate horizontal cabinet having a back and a front, said front being open and having compartments therein,
a C-shaped receptacle receiving the back of said cabinet and extending over and under the -upper and lower portions thereof,
said cabinet being longer than said C-shaped receptacle is lWide,

Helio wins third Indy 500; Danica finishes third
Share This Story
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)Pumping his fist as he took the checkered flag and breaking down in tears when he was done, Helio Castroneves capped a perfect month of May with the biggest win of all Sunday at the Indianapolis 500.
Castroneves became the ninth driver to win the historic race three times, and his timing couldn't have been better. Just 5 1/2 weeks ago, he was acquitted of most charges at a federal tax evasion trial, and the remaining count was thrown out on Friday. Instead of going to prison for as long as six years, Castroneves pulled his red-and-white machine into Victory Lane at the Brickyard. No wonder he was sobbing when team owner Roger Penske leaned in to give him a hug. "Thanks for giving my life back," the 34-year-old Brazilian told his boss, who earned his record 15th win at Indy. Castroneves completed a clean sweep of every Indy prize, also claiming the pole position and winning the pit-stop competition. Throw in the federal government's decision to drop the last of the tax charges just minutes before he went out for the final practice, and "this is the best month of May ever," said Castroneves, now only one win away from joining the most elite group of all: four-time Indy winners A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears. Castroneves pulled away over the final laps to beat Dan Wheldon and Danica Patrick, who eclipsed her historic fourth-place finish as a rookie in 2005 by crossing the strip of bricks in third. Patrick, however, was never really a factor. This day belonged to Castroneves, who pumped his fist all the way down the final straightaway.

Your Horoscope: Week of June 6-12, 2012
By Denise Guzzardo
Week of June 6-12, 2012
This Week: Good news for you yoga enthusiasts out there. Meghan Elizabeth Miller, a certified Kripalu yoga instructor currently an aerial artist touring with Cirque du Soleil, will be holding posture power workshops at Namaste Yoga Studio, 223 E. State St., Rockford, June 12-16, with morning and evening time slots available. This cross-discipline workshop is specifically designed to improve flexibility, fluidity in movement, manage pain as well as encouraging a positive exchange of energy with the rest of the world. Contact Tamara or Ben Bogard at (815) 398-8021 for more information.
Dust yourself off from this past full-moon eclipse and keep moving with the lessons it provided for you. This is a great time to reflect upon your past accomplishments and move forward into the future. Make connections with friends and family. Fatigue and confusion may be major elements midweek. Rest up and don't overdo.
Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You may not know which invitation to accept first. In the end, try to make it to all of your commitments. You may feel like "hiding out," but by week's end, you're in a totally different mind-set. Your past will resurface in the best possible light now. Enjoy all of the circumstances.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — A past situation will revisit you for you to put this to rest for good. You can overcome so many obstacles at this time if you only put your mind to it. A loved one may call it quits for good. Don't test another who is on his or her last nerve. You may end up on the outside looking in.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A family member may attempt to unravel a personal aspect that has begun to solidify for you this week. You may need to set a strong boundary with another who is trying to interfere in your life. Once you have clarified where you stand, expect positive results to follow. If you put your head in the sand, you will only hurt yourself in the long run.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — It has been a long road you have traveled in the past week, and you may be feeling a bit spread thin. Take plenty of time to rest and recoup from this interesting adventure. After July 1, you can put yourself back on track with your mundane tasks and responsibilities. If you try to push it before then, you will end up an emotional wreck.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Open up and experience the love that has been extended to you. Try not to allow your past to influence this precious moment in time. An immature female family member may try to rain on your parade. Just because she is miserable does not mean you need to be miserable as well.
Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You will make great strides in your personal and emotional life. You can see your progression, and you need to give yourself a big pat on the back. A positive gathering allows you to mix business with pleasure. Take the time to socialize.
Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You may be feeling a bit fatigued early this week, but don't let that stop you from making plans for the weekend. When all is said and done, you will have the energy to make connections with friends and family. You will feel rejuvenated with the lighthearted social connections as well as learn some valuable lessons regarding life.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You may need to stand up to an overbearing female this weekend. Although you may not feel you have the energy to address this issue, it needs to be done. If you do not make a stand now, this will only escalate into a bigger issue around July 4. Midweek brings a lucky break into your financial sector.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — This would be a good time to plan a mini-vacation or a weekend getaway. You have been overworked and underpaid. The sheer emotional energy you have been extending toward others has put you at risk for a breakdown. It's time to address your own physical and emotional well-being. An old bad habit will be easy to break at this time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You will receive some good news regarding your work and finances. It's time to celebrate and share your good fortune with others. At week's end, single Capricorns will run into a "love interest" that has intrigued them for quite some time. This is a good time to extend yourself, take a leap of faith and see what happens.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Romance will be an emphasis at this time. Allow another to know exactly what your intentions are. Not everyone is a mind-reader, and a good catch will not chase you into the sunset if he or she is confused about where he or she stands. Clarify your position, and watch the magic unfold.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You need to simmer down a bit and start cutting those around you some serious slack. You have no control over the outside influences that have been affecting the quality of your life. It's time to make your own happiness within your own humble abode. Once you honor the loved ones around you, peace will arrive.
For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at (815) 398-3983.

Rethink Your Spicesby Food Network Kitchen in Food Network Magazine, December 10th, 2013
Spices like cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg have been used for centuries in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Latin American cooking to bring out rich, meaty flavors in savory dishes. Try adding a pinch or two of your favorite baking spice to a rub for meat, or drop a cinnamon stick into simmering tomato sauce. Just remember: A little goes a long way.

Memorandum Of Agreement: Training State Regulators To Advance The Quality Of Orthopaedic Care For China
China is among the fast-growing emerging markets for medical devices, with high unmet needs in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, including arthritis. Primarily associated with the elderly, arthritis is on the rise as China's population ages. According to recently released statistics by the China National Committee on Aging, the number of Chinese senior citizens is expected to increase from the current 185 million to 487 million, or 35 percent of the population, by 2053.
This joint effort by Zimmer and the BJDA to hold training sessions lays the groundwork for additional opportunities to share knowledge in the near future. This collaboration will further enhance the safety and effectiveness of medical devices, provide musculoskeletal health solutions and improve the quality of life for patients in China.

The Millbrook First United Methodist Church held their annual Mardi Gras Run last weekend, eventhough the weather was less than ideal. A chilly, wet morning did not dampen the spirits of a few hundred runners participating in the 5k, 8k, and 1-mile runs. There were at least two dozen phantom runners in this event; those who pay the fee but sit out the actual run. The proceeds raised from runners and phantoms alike will be used to supplement missions for the church both local and abroad.

This past Tuesday marked the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863 by President Lincoln during the American Civil War. Freeing the slaves in Confederate states, the proclamation was a pivotal moment in the war. By adding moral weight to the Union's struggle and ending any realistic chance of Confederate-friendly European powers officially recognizing the Confederacy and entering into the conflict on its side, it arguably guaranteed Federal victory.

Either way I hope he doesn't continue to decline, I would much rather see him find his form and stick around in the WRC for a few more seasons yet I also feel bad for Malcolm as he is obviously finding it harder to attract a Big Sponsor with the Results that the Team have being getting lately, this allied to the fact that there is not exactly a line of talented Top Flight WRC Drivers looking to sign with M Sport for next year.

Photo: Track and field world championships medals unveiled
Jul 30, 2013, 7:28 AM EST
The medals for August's track and field world championships were released Tuesday. The Moscow organizers deserve style points for originality.
R-Sport described them as having a hollowed-out whirlwind design.
"There is everything I like about these medals," IAAF vice president Seb Coe said, according to R-Sport. "It's traditional in shape and it feels right in the athlete's hand. I think it is a perfect medal."
Moscow 2013 already has a leg up on the World Games, which have a misspelling on their medals, and the World University Games, whose medals shattered if you dropped them.
The world championships run Aug. 10-18.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/UN - COLUMN-In drug war, failed old ideas never die: Bernd Debusmann
Released on 2012-10-19 08:00 GMT
|2010-02-26 17:04:16
26 Feb 2010 14:50:10 GMT
Source: Reuters
By Bernd Debusmann
WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Here's a stern warning to the U.S. states
of Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada,
New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. A
United Nations body is displeased with your liberal medical marijuana
laws. Very displeased.
The U.N. rarely takes issue with the internal affairs of member states,
and even less with those of the United States. But that's what the
International Narcotics Control Board has just done in its latest annual
report, published this week. Without mentioning by name the 14 American
states where marijuana is legal for medical purposes, the 149-page report
"While the consumption and cultivation of cannabis, except for scientific
purposes, are illegal activities according to federal law in the United
States, several states have enacted laws that provide for the 'medical
use' of cannabis. The control measures applied in those states for the
cultivation of cannabis plants and the production, distribution and use
fall short of the control requirements laid down in the 1961 Convention
(on narcotic drugs.)
"The Board is deeply concerned that those insufficient control provisions
have contributed substantially to the increase in illicit cultivation and
abuse of cannabis in the United States. In addition, that development
sends a wrong message to other countries." The Board's concern doesn't end
here. It is equally worried over "the ongoing discussion in several states
on legalizing and taxing the 'recreational' use of cannabis."
California, the most populous state in the U.S., stands out in that
discussion. In mid-February, a California legislator, Tom Ammiamo,
introduced a bill that would tax and regulate marijuana (by most estimates
the state's largest cash crop by far) much in the same way as alcohol. In
addition, California backers of marijuana legalization say they have
collected more than 700,000 signatures for a ballot initiative likely to
be voted on in November.
There's not the slightest hint in the U.N. report of rapidly growing
support for more liberal laws on marijuana, the world's most widely-used
illicit drug. The latest U.S. poll on the issue, in January, showed that
eight out of ten Americans support legalizing marijuana for medical use
and nearly half are in favor of legalizing the drug, in small quantities
for personal use, altogether.
Countries that have done that come in for harsh rebuke from the Control
Board, which singles out Mexico, Argentina and Brazil for having sent "the
wrong message" by passing legislation that takes the crime out of drug use
and replaces prison sentences with treatment and education programs.
In the eyes of two liberal think tanks, the Washington Office on Latin
America and the Transnational Institute, lecturing the U.S., Mexico,
Argentina and Brazil on the way they handle drug use are way off the mark.
The rebuke, said a joint statement by the two groups, "clearly oversteps
the INCB's mandate and constitutes unwarranted intrusion into these
country's sovereign decision-making."
The 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs placed marijuana in the most
restrictive category, alongside heroin (as does the U.S. federal
government) and for years was seen as a major obstacle to domestic reform
in signatory countries. But a follow-up treaty in 1988 provided a measure
of flexibility on whether or not drug possession should be treated as a
criminal offence.
In the United States, for decades the spiritual home of rigid marijuana
prohibitionists, President Barack Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder,
last October issued new policy guidelines that marked a milestone in a
long-running dispute over whether federal law trumps state law on matters
of marijuana. Holder announced that the Justice Department would stop
raiding medical marijuana facilities set up under state law.
That was the most high-profile move on drug policy so far in the
presidency of Obama, who is on record saying that "the war on drugs has
been an utter failure. We need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana
laws..." He made the remark in 2004, when he was running for a seat in the
U.S. senate. Speaking about drug policies as a whole, not only on
marijuana, as a presidential candidate, Obama said he believed in
"shifting the paradigm, shifting the model so that we can focus more on
the public health approach."
In the long-running global dispute over drug strategy, that means treating
addicts not as criminals but as patients who deserve care in a public
health system. To hear Obama's drug czar, former Seattle police chief Gil
Kerlikowski, tell it, that shift is underway. But is it really?
The answer is no, judging from just-released highlights of the national
drug control budget for Fiscal Year 2011, which begins in October. It
provides for $15.5 billion in overall spending, a 3.5 percent increase
over 2010, and allots vastly more money to law enforcement ($ 9.9 billion)
than to addiction treatment and preventive measures ($5.6 billion).
Like drug control budgets under President George W. Bush, the figures do
not include the vast cost of arresting drug offenders and putting them
behind bars, a practice that has helped turn the United States into the
world's biggest jailer. Factoring in those costs would show that 73
percent of overall spending goes to law enforcement and controlling the
supply of drugs, according to John Walsh, a senior expert at WOLA.
Aaron Houston, director of government relations at the Marijuana Policy
Project, sees the budget as evidence of recycled Bush policies rather than
the paradigm shift Obama promised.
