I have a stack of book covers to get through, each one more awesome than the next – and by "awesome" I mean "so searingly neon in color and utterly bizarre in artistic construct that I can only gape and wish with a naughty part of myself that there were more covers on the market now that looked like these, if only for the sake of hilarity." Or something like that.
Sarah: "She'd never give her love to the strong handsome cowboy?" Normally you might say to yourself, "Suuuure she won't." Come on: he's shirtless and has a mullet – how could she resist? But what you don't know is that she's already given her tender daisy blossom to someone else. And he's racing in from the east to put a stop to that temptesting right… about… now.
Candy: Aw, man, I wish the horse freaking out in the background were a dragon just so I can yell "And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT." Because look at that horse! Man, it's pissed. It's ready to do some burninatin'. Or at the very least some stompin'-the-everlovin-shit-out-of-that-shit.
Sarah: She may be destiny's temptress, but she's got nothing compared to the temptation of self tanner that makes your skin appear the exact same hue as a horse in the background.
Candy: That bilious tinge on the guy's skin looks really suspicious to me. If you ask me, he looks rather like one of the walking dead who's slathered self-tanner on himself to disguise the state of his decomposition. She thinks he's nuzzling her. He's just savoring the smell of her spicy brains.
Sarah: The boy is sad because:
1. His momma made him wear pink shoes.
2. His momma is grabbing her own ass while kissing up to a skanky cowboy right in front of his virgin eyes.
3. His momma's hair matches her cowboy lover's mullet.
4. All of the above.
Candy: Poor lady! You don't need to play grab-ass with yourself any more. Look, you've finally found a beautifully-sculpted man who's clearly into going to the gym, shaving all his body hair off and playing cowboy dress up…
OK, never mind, then. Keep on playin' grab-ass with your bad self.
Sarah: Merry?
Yes, Devon?
We are the protagonists in arguably one of the best romances ever, correct?
And we pretty much set the bar for historical romances, particularly those involving pirates.
That's true.
So why did our book cover put us in front of a pepto bismol sea under a purple sky with a disturbing happy jolly roger over our heads? Where are we?!
I don't know, but you need to have the roots of your mullet touched up.
Yes, dear.
Nice sword, though.
Thank you.
Candy: Dear lord. That cover looks like what would happen if a host of My Little Ponies, after a weekend bender in Vegas, decided to puke it all back up. Except one of them had accidentally eaten a hooker AND some bad props from the Treasure Island hotel in an alcohol-fueled daze.

In the wake of Sandy Hook and the renewed push for the AWB and other gun control legislation, I emailed my various representatives twice. Once about safety in our schools, and again about Senator Feinstein's AWB legislation.
Somewhat unexpectedly the only reply I received that I felt was positive was from our Democratic senator, Mark Begich. The rest of the Republican representatives gave me various replies including "not wanting to engage in gun control politics" or "now isn't the time to bring up the Second Amendment."
Here's the critical bit of reply from Senator Begich that surprised me, though I do know he has generally not been anti-gun in the past:
Could just be lip service, but again I just was a bit surprised that the response I expected to see from our Republican reps came from our Democrat and the Republicans kind of...waved it aside.In the aftermath of this awful crime, we must be vigilant about addressing future threats to public safety. There is no simple solution, but I do not believe more restrictive gun laws will prevent criminals from committing acts of violence. I have always been and continue to be a strong defender of Second Amendment rights for law-abiding citizens.

ABSTRACT: Although domino liver transplantations (OLT) from cadaveric donors have been performed in about 50 cases since 1995, only one case in the Japanese literature has been reported on a domino OLT from a living related donor. The difficulties of the later surgery lie in the small size of the graft volume and the short length of the vascular cuffs in the graft. The left lobe graft was procured from a 43-year-old younger brother of a familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) patient. Next, the left lobe graft (510 g, 44% of the estimated standard liver volume of the FAP patient) was implanted into the 48-year-old female FAP patient. At surgery for the FAP patient, a sufficient length of the vascular cuffs was secured by an extended left lobe resection, although the right lobe graft was able to maintain sufficient vascular cuffs. The right lobe graft (720 g, 54% of the recipient's estimated standard liver volume) was then implanted in the 43-year-old male patient with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (stage IV-A). The two recipients were discharged from the hospital 1 month after OLT. At 7 months after OLT, they are both doing well and the domino recipient is free of any tumor recurrence. A domino OLT from the living related donor can therefore be done safely when careful attention is paid to the graft volume and the length of the vascular cuffs for anastomosis.Transplantation 11/2000; 70(8):1236-9. · 3.78 Impact Factor

From the Publisher
Praise for Children of the Night:
"A mesmerizing tour through the ghostly, gray tatters of Romania." –Publishers Weekly
"Simmons gives a chilling description of post-Ceausescu Romania and neatly ties the vampire legend into political history to create a new and clever twist to the idea of the vampire's craving for blood." –Library Journal
"His best novel ever… Toothsomely well written." –Kirkus
"Brilliant ideas… The most rigorous and interesting scientific rationale for vampirism I've ever seen… You keep turning the pages." –Locus
Praise for The Summer of Night:
"Simmons writes like a hot-rodding angel, loading his American nightmare with scares, suspense, and a sweet, surprising nostalgia. One of those rare must-read books, I am in awe of Dan Simmons." —Stephen King
"It stands with the best of King and Straub in the traditional modern horror genre." —Seattle Post Intelligencer
"Impressive...combines beautiful writing and suspense into a book for which Dan Simmons deserves the bestseller status of King and Koontz." —Denver Post
"An outstandingly eerie and truly horrifying tale, a page-turner of the first order." –Dallas Times-Herald

"If you like Stephen King's It and The Body, you will be enthralled by Summer of Night." –Rocky Mountain News
"Blood-freezing scenarios… the true source of Simmons' terrifying vision lies in his uncanny ability to tap into that primal dread that every child knows and every adult denies; the monster under the bed, the darkness in the closet, the not-quite-human face at the window… If you are easily frightened, don't buy this book." –Los Angeles Daily News
"A superior read in the genre." –Kirkus Reviews
"An outstandingly eerie horror story about a group of Midwestern boys stalked by an ancient evil." –Publishers Weekly
"Simmons, winner of several prestigious awards for science fiction and horror ranks with the best the genre has to offer... The children are well drawn and affecting in their bravery." –Library Journal
"Skilled writer par excellence Dan Simmons takes a subject straight from Stephen King land and runs with it… Simmons keeps the tension high." —Locus
"One of the best supernatural chillers in years… Summer of Night promises to mark the dawn of a great horror novelist." –Flint Journal
"Lots of frights in the 'Night'… The kind of story that has readers locking doors and checking under their own beds even as the characters in the book go through their own nightly ritual." –Ocala Star-Banner
"For those of us to whom good writing is everything, the name Dan Simmons bears great weight." –Harlan Ellison
"Simmons is not only good, he's versatile." –Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine
"A compelling writer." –F. Paul Wilson, author of The Keep

Taiwan Fan
Dear Anders Sodergren:
This is [Chang,Hsiao Chuan] from Taiwan. I have been a loyal fan of you for many years. You are my favorite Cross-country skiing skier. After watching your performance the first time, I instantly became one of your fans. You are truly the best skier of all time and you are so handsome.
I really enjoy watching your games, and you are an amazing. Whenever you are on any live broadcast, I have always cheered you in front of my TV set- it is really a pleasure to watch one of your games. I can only say that your ability to tolerate and react to stress must be amazing.
Whenever you had a crash, I was always so worried about how badly you were injured. I hope I will be able to see you personally one day. And I also hope that no sports injuries will ever block your way towards more championships in the future.
My sincere apologies for not being able to send you a pre-stamped, return envelope, as I cannot purchase any your country stamps in Taiwan.
Lastly, because I am a student so I do not have any financial resources to purchase your autographed items, and I really do not know where I can possibly make such a purchase, I really hope I can receive an autograph from you,please. Your autograph will be my most valuable collection, and I will not ever sell it to anyone.
I will always support you and look forward to your reply. I will pray for your continuing success and safety.
*My Name And Address:
*Mr. Chang,Hsiao Chuan
*No 156 , Jingwu Rd , Fengshan Dist , Kaohsiung City 83046 TAIWAN (R.O.C)
Thank you
Kind regards

I like Becky, but she really messed up. She should have known better given the microscope she was under after the performance issues surfaced last year.
I understand not being able to say anything as an employee because your manager tells you to keep quiet about things so they don't loose a big account, I think she did the right thing in speaking up.

The editorial by Hugues Laurent for Modern Weekly China is filled with clashing couture looks that will keep readers on their toes. From a sweetly innocent, bubblegum-chewing socialite to a smoking Gothic glam girl, model Dorothea Barth Jorgensen taps into very different personas for the playful photoshoot. Nevertheless, the underlying commonality is the high fashion used throughout the editorial.
Styled by Felipe Mendes, the Swedish beauty is clad in a mix of sophisticated and rock 'n' roll-inspired pieces from the likes of Givenchy, Valentino and Chanel Haute Couture. A transformative editorial by Hugues Laurent for Modern Weekly China to say the very least, it is set to appear in the latest issue of the magazine. Without the help of hairstylist Lok Lau and makeup artist Hugo Villard, it wouldn't have been executed as well.

I certainly do have some ideas and opinions about this...
And in fact I'm designing a new modular synth app that
will be competition for both AMS and Ingen, so I have
been thinking about this (and that's not finished).
The module GUIs are IMHO one of the major flaws of AMS.
Presenting an array of sliders that all look the same
and that have a resolution that depends on their size
is probably the worst way to do it. Resolution and the
control law (e.g. lin or log, but there are others as
well) should depend on what the GUI element is controlling
and on nothing else. Rotary controls have an advantage in
that sense. Layout, size, colors, etc. should reflect the
function and structure of any module and not be dictated
by some toolkit or other GUI rules.
The people who designed the best HW synths (and the same
can be said of mixers and other audio gear) were well aware
of the impact of layout and ergonomics. So imitating them
is not a bad idea. But the one you linked to is not really
the best example - it's just a regular grid of controls and
connectors without any visual hints as to their function.
It's often said that the potential for 'discovery' is the
key to good UI design. I disagree. The most important thing
IMHO is to provide subliminal cues - and these must be based
in function (which is what is discovered by the user).

Boeing and its older workers: The brewing confrontation
When the union representing Boeing technical workers and engineers filed age discrimination charges against the aerospace giant in July, the company called the action "a baseless complaint."
"Diversifying our engineering workforce reflects changes in our business and is not related to the age of our employees," Boeing said in an emailed statement.
That's not how workers see it. During the implementation of 2,500 layoffs in the past year, a handful of whistleblowing managers alerted the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) of possible bias, according to Roy Goforth, executive director of the union. In addition to those layoffs, the company announced in April that it will be laying off another 1,000 people in the Puget Sound area by the end of 2015 as part of a shift of some engineering work to Southern California.
Age discrimination cases can be notoriously difficult to prove, experts say, and the experiences of former Boeing employees elsewhere in the country bear that out. Now, however, it seems likely that the aerospace company and its Puget Sound workers are headed toward a long legal brawl of their own.
Managers have the difficult task of deciding whom to fire, so to make the process more objective, the company has developed various performance-ranking system to rate employees. Historically, these evaluation criteria insulated senior employees who had more skills and experience from layoffs. Goforth told Crosscut, however, that recent changes to Boeing's ranking system have meant that "if you were in your 40s your chances of getting laid off were doubled" while employees in their 50s had triple the risk of getting fired, and those in their 60s had quadruple the risk.
Obama visited Boeing's Everett plant in 2012 to deliver a speech on boosting American manufacturing exports. Photo credit: White House.
To get a glimpse into the future of the union's charges, it helps to look to the south and east; not to South Carolina where Boeing recently announced plans to build the 787 Dreamliner, but to Kansas, where the company is already tangled in a protracted legal battle over alleged age discrimination.
Between 2003 and 2004, in an effort to make its aircraft assembly more competitive, Boeing started the process of selling its manufacturing divisions in Wichita, Kanas and two Oklahoman locations to the aerospace manufacturer Onex (which later became Spirit AeroSystems). After inking the deal, Boeing fired 10,671 workers, making them apply for employment with the new owner. Spirit only rehired 8,354 workers, taking into consideration recommendations from Boeing managers.
The pink slips indeed seemed to be tinted gray: A lower percentage of employees over the age of 40 were rehired — spurring 700 workers to file charges of age discrimination and retaliation against both companies in 2005.
But axing a greater number of older employees isn't enough to prove bias under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. To do that, the workers would have to demonstrate one or both types of bias: disparate impact or disparate treatment.
Disparate treatment is a Hollywood-ready type of prejudice: Imagine people gathered in a back room conspiring to fire all the old people. Disparate impact is much less blatant, if it's even intentional. It is what Bran Noonan, an employment attorney in New York who has written about age discrimination law, calls a type of "accidental discrimination," or a seemingly neutral practice that winds up hitting minorities harder. For instance, a policy that police officers need to be able to carry a certain amount of weight may seem reasonable at first glance, but that weight requirement could inadvertently lead to fewer female officers.
However, Noonan explains that layoffs can "sometimes cross over into both types" of discrimination — intentional and unintentional. For instance, the evaluation criteria used to decide who to fire might give older engineers an unfair disadvantage. The questions then become: Was the criteria deliberately rigged? Is it merely a pretext to conceal a darker motive? Or were the criteria reasonable?

To bad they don't apply the same age bias to upper management and the CEO.
Posted Wed, Aug 13, 3:29 a.m.
A point of clarification in an otherwise informative article: Onex was referred to as an aerospace company. It is not. Onex is a Canadian private equity investment firm based in Toronto.
Just this last week, the firm sold its remaining shares of the post-Boeing division, renamed Spirit AeroSystems.
Onex paid $950 million for the Boeing division in 2005 and invested $375 million of equity. In the nine years of its investment in Spirit, Onex has realized an amazing return on investment of 201 percent each year.

Two accused of anti-Semitic vandalism in State College may face trial
By: WJAC Web Staff
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Two men accused of spraying painting anti-Semitic messages, including swastikas, at a predominantly Jewish Penn State University fraternity have waived their appearances for preliminary hearings and may face possible trial.
Police said Eric Hyland, of Export, Pa., and Hayden Grom, of New Fairfield, Conn., both 19, are accused of committing the vandalism to vehicles and other property in the area of the Beta Sigma Beta fraternity house in November.
Hyland waived his preliminary hearing Monday and Grom waived his hearing in December.
The two allegedly spray painted swastikas, anti-Semitic slogans and other graffiti on at least 12 vehicles, trash cans and a garage in the 400 and 500 blocks of Berry Alley in State College.
State College police filed several charges against the two, including ethnic intimidation.
Groms attorney, Matt McClenahen, of State College, told the Centre Daily Times newspaper that Grom is remorseful and didnt understand how hurtful his actions would be to people.
McClenahen told the CDT his client is not anti-Semitic and he would be assigning Grom books to read to understand the significance of why so many people are upset.
Police said they were able to track the pair down through community tips and the use of surveillance video.
Information on future court dates was not immediately available.

The UK's first rehab centre for gaming addiction has opened in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
Broadway Lodge treats around 400 patients annually for issues including, drink, drug and gambling addiction, and has adapted its Minnesota Method Twelve-Step abstinence programme for gamers.
"Obviously this is the very early stages of researching how many youngsters are affected," Brian Dudley, the centre's chief executive, told the Telegraph. "But I would stick my neck out and say between five and ten per cent of parents or partners would say they know of someone addicted to an online game.
"... You can't simply say to a 23-year-old male 'you should never use the internet again'. It's just not practical. So we go through all the issues surrounding gaming use and ensure there are triggers through which an addict recognises their usage has become a problem."
Broadway Lodge counsellor Peter Smith added: "It's not unusual for people to get so obsessed with online gaming that they forget to eat and drift towards an anorexic and undernourished state. You have a relationship with characters in the game that give you an artificial feeling, created by your body's natural endorphins, when you have killed some monster or solved a problem."
The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association denied that playing online games could lead to addiction.
"Playing videogames is becoming increasingly mainstream in the UK and we firmly believe in the positive impact playing games can have," said director general Michael Rawlinson.
In April, the US Entertainment Software Association challenged an Iowa State University study which found that 8.5 per cent of American gamers aged 8-18 showed multiple signs of addiction. The following month, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney found that one in 12 gamers had an addiction to playing.

Technology Leadership
Build and leverage institutional capacity through technology leadership
In an increasingly complex world, when all Princeton employees are being asked to do more with the resources they have, technology can help us more effectively and efficiently meet the needs of those we serve. Rapid technology advancements and close partnerships with OIT have resulted in many campus departments asking OIT to take a greater role in making Princeton's leaders aware of "what's possible" with emerging technologies to ensure that Princeton appropriately takes advantage of new opportunities.
This goal will consider:
- What updates are needed to Princeton's IT Governance model to ensure effective and integrated IT planning at all levels of the university
- What consultative services could be offered to departments to help them utilize technology to achieve their business goals (e.g. "technology readiness assessments," "Ivy+ Peer Assessments," business process improvements, technology roadshows)
- What OIT can do to help departments identify and fulfill IT literacy requirements of non-IT staff
- How OIT can best "broker" new services and emerging technologies that may be available through "cloud providers"

Drunk driver faces 5 felonies in crash that injured officer
Ryan Rivard was driving around 100 mph when he smashed into officer Tracy Liska's squad car
The Green Bay Press Gazette
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Ryan Rivard of Green Bay, who had a revoked driver's license, was drunk and driving around 100 mph when his car smashed into Officer Tracy Liska's squad car on Aug. 4, according to a criminal complaint. Liska had just pulled out into traffic when her car was struck by Rivard's Cadillac.
Liska was unconscious, and a passerby was assisting her when police and rescue crew arrived. She has since been released from the hospital but suffered a broken rib, a punctured lung and a broken collarbone that required a titanium rod to repair, the complaint says. She also suffered deep bruising to both legs.
Rivard, who is 25, is facing five felony counts as well as two misdemeanor charges related to the crash. If convicted, he faces more than 40 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

Hey folks, I've started my first few batches of cider in 1 gallon glass carboys and am going to rack them to a few different containers now for clearing and mellowing now that fermentation is way over with. I saved the bottles that I received the juice in. I have thick plastic 64 ounce Welch's bottles, regular plastic 'milk jug' type jugs and a few two liter Coke bottles. I plan on racking to these, tightening them up real well and letting them set for about six months in my cellar, opening up my fermenter for additional brew. Would these bottles work, or would one type be better than the other? The plastic on the fruit juice bottles is thick and I get a really good seal. Any ideas?
How long has the cider been in the glass jugs? I would recommend that you just siphon the cider into whatever sanitized containers you have available, clean the glass jugs, and siphon the cider back into those jugs. If you want to brew more stuff, get more carboys! The issues I see are 1) even though you believe fermentation to be complete, there may be CO2 still coming out of the cider, and you will create a lot of pressue with sealed bottles; 2) aging for long periods of time in plastic may not be a great option.
Plastic is pretty oxygen permeable, too... I've heard of people using apple juice jugs to ferment the apfelwein, but I don't know how well they'd hold up for aging.
Thanks for the tips. I was hoping otherwise (my wife said no more brewing equipment for another two months plus I'm broke right now) but was worth a check. Any other lesser expensive storage methods that might work? 1 gallon glass carboy/jugs have went up to around 9 dollars at my local brew store.
Go buy some cheap wine and make sangria or mulled wine for the holidays. Bingo, free carboy.
+1 on the cheap wine bottles. I snagged 2 empty 3L bottles of livingston from a party this weekend. I'm planning on using one as a secondary and one as storage for extra juice to add in secondary. If I were you I would plan on using your glass carboys for secondary, and looking into the many free sources of plastic fermenters for primaries. ask big bakeries if they have extra buckets that they got fillings in, since there all ready food grade. (DO NOT get pickle or relish buckets though.) be imaginative, a TON of things can be used as fermenters if your handy with a few tools and have some whacky ideas. (Think Container Store also.)

Laboratoire d'études du rayonnement et de la matière en astrophysique et atmosphères (LERMA)
UMR 8112 - Pole 3 Jussieu
The research activities carried out in the Jussieu part of LERMA (ex-LPMAA) focus on molecular physics and its applications for the study of the terrestrial atmosphere and on the understanding of molecular processes in astrophysical environments (comets, planets, interstellar medium). Our expertise ranges from experimental and theoretical studies (IR and UV spectrometry, mass spectrometry, cryogenic surfaces, spectral analyses, calculus of relaxation rates, implementation of molecular data bases) to measurement campaigns (ground based remote sensing of the troposphere and the stratosphere).
News from the Laboratory:
In 2014, merging of LPMAA with LERMA
In january 2014, LPMAA has merged with LERMA . All the molecular physics activities, from fundamental processes to applications, belong to the scientific pole 3 of LERMA: molecules in the Universe.The studies on terrestrial atmosphere carried out in LERMA (including original LERMA and LPMAA activities) are also part of the research federation IPSL.
On the way to TCCON-Paris
In continuous operation since 2007, the Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) of LPMAA (now LERMA) is about to join TCCON (Total Carbon Column Observing Network). TCCON is an international scientific network dedicated to the measurement of atmospheric trace gases by ground based remote sensing. Installed on the campus of Jussieu right at the heart of Paris, the TCCON-Paris site will be one of the very few sites located in a megacity. As a matter fact it will the first such megacity site in Europe. For more information ...

Blazing heat deep inside
Burning with no place to hide
Can everyone see?
The secret within me
Scorching everything in sight
With no way to stop it or fight
hiding it all behind a joke,
Trouble seeing through the smoke,
With my smile trying to fool them all,
But my tears come crashing down,
And they finally hear my call,
But they only turn to me and frown.

The bloom, top of the leaves and underside of the leaves |
It depends on how accurate you want ids to be and how technical you want to be, especially with species. Angled top and side view/s of whole plant, closeups of floral material (inflorescence, branch, floral bracts, flowers and pulled to bits if necessary) and habitat info if in the wild or collected. Measurements of all are important too (use a cm/mm ruler). Pedro |

Harper Government Highlights Widespread Benefits to British Columbia of Historic Canada-EU Trade Agreement by DFATD | MAECD (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) https://flic.kr/p/hnn8jC
How Canada Shaped the Copyright Rules in the EU Trade Deal
In late December 2009, Wikileaks, the website that publishes secret government information, posted a copy of the draft intellectual property chapter of the Canada – European Trade Agreement (CETA). The CETA deal was still years from completion, but the leaked document revealed that the European Union envisioned using the agreement to mandate a massive overhaul of Canadian law.
The leak generated concern among many copyright watchers, but when a German television station leaked the final text of the agreement last week, it contained rules that largely reflect a "made-in-Canada" approach. Why the near-complete reversal in approach on one of the most contentious aspects of a 500 page treaty?
My weekly technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) notes the starting point for copyright in CETA as reflected in 2009 leaked document was typical of European demands in its trade agreements. It wanted Canada to extend the term of copyright to life of the author plus 70 years (Canada is currently at the international standard of life plus 50 years), adopt tough new rules for Internet provider liability, create criminal sanctions for some copyright infringement, implement new rights for broadcasters and visual artists, introduce strict digital lock rules with minimal exceptions, and beef up enforcement powers. In other words, it was looking for Canada to mirror its approach on copyright.
Did Canada Cave on the Pharmaceutical Patent ISDS Issue in CETA?: Still No Text, But Official Comments Suggests It Did
For the second time in less than a year, Canada and the EU have announced that they reached agreement on the Canada – EU Trade Agreement. Back in October 2013, there was an announcement of an agreement "in principle". The announcement did not include a release of the text and the parties said there was still further work to be done on drafting and legal analysis. Yesterday, brought another announcement of an agreement on the text. Once again, the announcement did not include a release of the text and the parties said there was still further work to be done on legal review and translation into 23 languages.
Given the agreement is 1,500 pages, the additional work is expected to take a considerable amount of time. While government ministers claimed that CETA "is ready for debate and ratification", the reality is that there cannot be a meaningful, informed debate without the actual text. Releasing it for full study and comment is the essential next step.
Analysis without the text is difficult, however, the combination of prior leaks and media reports indicate that Canada caved on its concerns regarding the potential replication of Eli Lilly-style pharmaceutical patent lawsuits.
How a 20 Year Old Patent Application Could Up-End Canada's Biggest Trade Deal
In the early 1990s, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly applied for patent protection in Canada for two chemical compounds, olanzapine and atomoxetine. The company had already obtained patents over the compounds, but asserted that it had evidence to support new uses for the compounds that merited further protection. The Canadian patent office granted the patents based on the content in the applications, but they remained subject to challenge.
Both patents ultimately were challenged on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence at the time of the applications to support the company's claims. The Federal Court of Canada agreed, invalidating both patents. Eli Lilly proceeded to appeal the decision to the Federal Court of Appeal and later to the Supreme Court of Canada. The company lost the appeals, as the courts upheld the decision to invalidate the patents.
My weekly technology law column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) notes that under most circumstances, that would conclude the legal story as nine Canadian judges reviewed Eli Lilly's patent applications and ruled that they failed to meet the standards for patentability. Yet in June 2013, the company served notice that it planned to file a complaint under the North American Free Trade Agreement claiming that in light of the decisions, Canada is not compliant with its patent law obligations under the treaty. As compensation, Eli Lilly is now seeking $500 million in damages.
Why the Canadian Government Should Maintain Its Position on CETA and the ISDS Provision
Media reports last week indicated that finalizing the Canada – European Union Trade Agreement has been delayed by a Canadian demand to exclude intellectual property from the scope of the investor-state dispute settlement system. While that sounds like an arcane, technical issue, it actually involves potentially billions of dollars and the Canadian government deserves kudos for adopting its current position even as the pressure builds to simply cave on the issue.
The investor-state dispute settlement provision is among the most controversial aspects of CETA (and the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership) since it opens the door to private lawsuits by companies against the government over the state of national law. These lawsuits can involve claims for hundreds of millions of dollars, with costs that may ultimately be borne by taxpayers. The Canadian government is keenly aware of the risks, since it is currently facing a $500 million lawsuit by pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly over the approach of Canadian courts to the concept of utility in patent law. The Canadian government is likely to ultimately win the lawsuit, but the legal risks are still significant, with Eli Lilly effectively demanding that every Canadian pay it nearly $15 due to our patent laws. If Eli Lilly can file a $500 million lawsuit over two patented drugs, the potential for numerous lawsuits and billions in claims is a real possibility.
The TPP IP Chapter Leaks: TPP and CETA May Conflict on Geographical Indications
My series of posts on the leak of the Trans Pacific Partnership intellectual property chapter has highlighted Canada's opposition to many U.S. proposals, U.S. demands for Internet provider liability that could lead to subscriber termination, content blocking, and ISP monitoring, as well as anti-counterfeiting provisions that are inconsistent with Bill C-8. This post discusses the section on protection for geographical indications and explains how U.S. demands conflict with Canada has already agreed to in the trade agreement with Europe (CETA).

(only glitter and bling on the second one)
Here are two new ones. One I did last weekend and the other I finished tonight. The first is a LO of when my second niece was born and the second LO is from a day of playing outside in the backyard with DS. Both are from mid June 2010. thanks for looking
Summer time:
eta: it is hard to see the the picture next to the words "living is" but that is my dog running through the sprinkler. I think he liked it more than DS
Cute, cute, cute Lauren! Love the font on that second one. TFS

thanks ladies!
the first one was a quickie...and Tia, I added those apple chipboard stickers as an afterthought. looking back, it was soooooo plain without them.
the pp on the second was actually from target's $1 section...last summer i think. I was cruising around some blogs yesterday, and got inspired by a LO with a circle and rectangle in the background.
katie (kel-02) gave me the idea to print out small pics from those LOs she posted a few weeks ago. I got 8.5x11 photo paper and printed them at home (put the pics in a Word document and shrunk them down)
I love the second LO. I'm going to use that as inspo for a layout at somepoint this summer
Hubby: Cart
Daughter Rileigh Ann arriving January 2012
They are both great. That first one is so sweet. I love the title and the different fonts of the first one. The glitter works so well for a summer LO.
Both look great, but now I'm going to have to steal the circle/rectangle idea this weekend!! I think I have some of that glittery paper, too. Nice job!
DD--Elliott Frances 3-2-10
the first is adorable! love the photos of Nathan and his little baby cousin. and I simply love the second one! great bling, and the title looks fantastic!
