Upcoming Event
Here's who bought the Scotts Valley Borland campus - and what he plans to do with it
- Nathan Donato-Weinstein
- Real Estate Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
The buyer of the former Borland campus in Scotts Valley is a Chinese investor who hopes to attract tech tenants large and small, drawing on the largely vacant office park's luxe amenities as a major selling point.
The Business Journal reported July 26 that the 370,000-square-foot campus, built for the software maker in 1993 at a cost of $120 million, was in contract to sell to an unidentified buyer for a rumored $12.5 million.
On Monday, a representative for the buyer told me the property is a long-term hold for the new owner, Hong Bo Li, a China-based investor who was seeking a property in the region with significant lease-up opportunity.
He certainly got it: The well-known property at 100 Enterprise Way was only about 13 percent occupied, according to former owner LNR.
It's the latest example of overseas Asian investors picking up Silicon Valley real estate. In June, a Macau-based investor picked up 2 W. Santa Clara St. in San Jose (Macau, like Hong Kong, is a special administrative region of China.)
The Scotts Valley opportunity, which was offered through Auction.com, was brought to Li by Lynn Yang of Walnut, Calif.-based FTP Management, who had existing connections to China.
"Lynn thought it was a really interesting property, and the biggest draw was the landscape and environment," said Melissa Arroyo, a colleague of Yang's and the new financial manager for SV Enterprise Inc., which was established to manage the property. "It's beautiful, and like nothing else that we've seen. The whole package is what drew her eye."
Li agreed, and beat out multiple bidders to pick up the sprawling, 24-acre property, which boasts pools, tennis and basketball courts, ornate water features, and an outdoor amphitheater to name just a few amenities.
Despite those features, after Borland began to leave the campus in the mid-90s, the site has never approached full occupancy and traded hands several times, eventually landing in the arms of special servicer LNR.
SV Enterprise is still assessing next steps: A brokerage team, marketing strategy and capital improvement plan has yet to be decided. But a few things are clear: While the former owner was holding out for large users, the new landlord will entertain large and small deals. And he would like to boost the property's green cred, including adding electric charging stations and solar panels.
The company would love to lure tech tenants from core Silicon Valley markets, or a large educational user who could use the property as a turnkey campus.
One key advantage is flexibility: "One wing of the campus is set up for one large user, and the other is more multitenant, smaller users," Arroyo said. "The way the buildings are set up, they can be broken up in any way. It lends itself to any size tenant."
Li is committed to sticking around to see the renewal through, Arroyo said.
"This is definitely a long-term deal for him," she said. "He doesn't plan on going anywhere."

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson Film Catching Fire in Hawaii
Jennifer Lawrence suited up in her Katniss Everdeen gear to film scenes for Catching Fire in Maui yesterday. Josh Hutcherson was also in character on the ocean set. Jennifer arrived in Hawaii last week and spent a few days relaxing in the sun before getting to work. Jennifer wore a bikini on the beach with her brother on Thanksgiving Day, after also sporting a two-piece the afternoon before. While Jennifer focuses on the Hunger Games sequel, her other project, Silver Linings Playbook, is in theaters. The movie is getting great reviews and was even up for the best ensemble performance honor at last night's Gotham Independent Film Awards in NYC, though the cast of Your Sister's Sister took home the win.

Great band, shame about the name
Call your act something silly and you'll regret it for the rest of your career. It might even dent sales, says Simon Hardeman
As Noel Gallagher releases another single from his now-platinum debut solo album, and both he and brother Liam announce major UK dates for next year, the question is: how can they have got their band names so wrong?
Noel has a knack for the musicality of a meaningless phrase ("Champagne Supernova", "Shakermaker", etc) but High Flying Birds is wrong in so many ways: the way when you say it you have to stop uncomfortably after the "high" and regather yourself before saying "flying"; the way it suggested achievement before the band had achieved anything; the way it so obviously references a classic Sixties band (The Byrds) without any elegance.
Worse, it's Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. It falls between the two stools of putting Noel's name upfront but wanting to give the impression of being in a band of equals.
At least no one can say that Beady Eye is a mouthful. But it's still dreadful. Liam said earlier this year: "We tried a few names, but they'd all been taken. Like Monkey Eyes, Cat's Eyes. But I dunno – you've gotta call yourself something." As rationales go, "I dunno – you've gotta call yourself something" it isn't exactly throbbing with purpose.
It's extraordinary the number of bands who admit to not caring much about their name. Mogwai guitarist Stuart Braithwaite said: "The name... has no significant meaning and we always intended on getting a better one, but like a lot of other things we never got round to it."
Other bands hampered by names they just can't have thought about hard enough are Prefab Sprout, Biffy Clyro, and Smashing Pumpkins – whose bassist, D'arcy Wretzky, told The Washington Post even the band thought Smashing Pumpkins was "a stupid name, a dumb bad joke and a bad idea".
But whether you're spending night after night in the pub, or day after day in the boardroom of your record company, trying to think of a name, the effort is surely worth it. Because the moniker you choose can hang like an albatross around the neck of your guitar. A few years ago Test Icicles were making half-decent music. But their dreadful sniggering adolescent pun of a name gave them no chance among most women or men over the age of 12.
The other side of the coin features names that reek of trying to be too clever, often with tiresome punctuation. Stand-out examples are deliberately unpronounceable names like !!!. Even the band have problems with it – they have to make their website address www.chkchkchk.net. Rising band Alt-J chose a symbol for their name, except they're not called Triangle, but Alt-J – the keys you hit on an Apple keyboard to create it.
Back to Noel and Liam. Perhaps thinking up a name for a post-success band is particularly difficult. Take the supergroup formed by Led Zeppelin guitar god Jimmy Page and Free/Bad Company's lungs, Paul Rodgers. You'd expect it to encapsulate power, noise, excitement. They called themselves The Firm –about as rock 'n' roll as a packed lunch.
Noel says he liked the idea of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac in the 1960s. Ironically, the band shortened that to Fleetwood Mac almost immediately. In a second irony, the "High Flying Birds" came from a Jefferson Airplane song – ironic because Jefferson Airplane are notable for having squandered a great name. After the psychedelic success of "White Rabbit" they became Jefferson Starship (disco-shiny dross) and then simply the bland, corporate Starship. It shows that a great band by any other name does not necessarily sound as sweet.

News: CMS debuts web page for ICD-10 CC and MCC lists
CDI Strategies, January 5, 2012
Want to receive articles like this one in your inbox? Subscribe to CDI Strategies!
CMS recently released ICD-10 CC and MCC lists on its web site. It lists the diagnosis by ICD-10 code, then indicates whether it qualifies as a CC/MCC, then it notes exclusions, and offers a description. If the CC or MCC is allowed with all principal diagnoses, then the phrase NoExcl follows the CC/MCC indicator. Otherwise, a link is given to a collection of diagnosis codes which, when used as the principal diagnosis, will cause the CC or MCC to be considered as only a non-CC.
Because the pages list all CC/MCC alphabetically by ICD-10 code, the list could be cumbersome if you don't already know what ICD-10 code you're looking for. To get around this difficulty somewhat, type "control F" for the "find on this page" function and type in the word/diagnosis you are looking for. This only helps when the diagnosis appears on a particular page, however. For example, if you type "infections" under the "A" page you'll be able to find all the infection-related ICD-10 codes on this page but you'll have continue to click through the rest of the alphabet if you don't know where the code falls.

Cowboys' reserve killed in crash
Teammate Josh Brent charged with DUI
IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys practice-squad linebacker Jerry Brown was killed in a one-car accident Saturday and teammate Josh Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter.
Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz said the accident happened about 2:20 a.m. Saturday in the Dallas suburb. Brent was speeding when the vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once, Argumaniz said.
Argumaniz said the 25-year-old Brown -- also Brent's teammate at the University of Illinois for three seasons -- was found unresponsive at the scene and pronounced dead at a hospital.
The police spokesman said officers conducted a field sobriety test on Brent and arrested him. The charge was upgraded after Brown was pronounced dead.
"We are deeply saddened by the news of this accident and the passing of Jerry Brown," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "At this time, our hearts and prayers and deepest sympathies are with the members of Jerry's family and all of those who knew him and loved him."
The team said in a statement that Brent was not on the team flight to Cincinnati, where the Cowboys play the Bengals today.
Argumaniz said Brent was being held without bond. Brent is named as Joshua Price-Brent in the police news release. Argumaniz also said Brent missed a 10 a.m. Saturday booking session with a judge because he was intoxicated. He did not know if Brent had an attorney.
Police received 911 calls from motorists who saw the upside-down vehicle but they did not immediately have any eyewitnesses to the wreck. Argumaniz said.
He said when officers arrived at the scene on a state highway service road, Brent was dragging Brown from the vehicle, a Mercedes, which was on fire. Officers quickly put out the small blaze, he said.
Argumaniz wasn't sure if the vehicle was a car or SUV and said it wasn't known how fast the vehicle was travelling. The road has a 45 mph limit.
"I can say investigators are certain they were travelling well above the posted speed limit," Argumaniz said.
Before he was taken to the jail, Brent went to a hospital for a blood draw for alcohol testing and also received treatment for minor scrapes.
Argumaniz said Brent, a defensive lineman, identified himself to officers as a Cowboys player.
Brent was arrested in February 2009 near the Illinois campus for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and speeding, according to Champaign County, Ill., court records.
In June 2009, Brent pleaded guilty to DUI and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, two years of probation, 200 hours of community service and a fine of about $2,000. As part of his plea deal, prosecutors dropped one count of aggravated DUI/no valid driver's license. Brent successfully completed his probation in July 2011, court records show.
Brent has played in all 12 games this season and has been a bigger presence on defence with starting nose guard Jay Ratliff battling injuries.

My son had ear "tubes" twice. With him, he had a 35 decible hearing loss due to fluid in his ear and the ENT said no amount of antibiotic would dry up that much fluid, tubes were the only answer. He had one set at age 5 and another set at age 11, then he kind of outgrew the problem. Eventually the eustacian tube changes and they dont get as many ear infections any longer. When your child goes to the ENT they will look in his ears and be able to tell how much fluid stays trapped in the middle ear. If the area constantly has fluid, they tend to get bacterial infections frequently and they need the tubes to drain it. I am a nurse and in my training I went through a rotation in the OR watching babies get tubes. (this was way before my boy needed them) so I already knew that when they do tubes they barely put them under.
25 Apr 2012
Babies and young children are born with the eustachion tubes going sideways instead of downward to drain into the sinuses. Tubes are wonderful. Instead of your child having burst eardrums which make scar tissue, and affect his hearing for the rest of his life, they will just put in a tiny tube, so that the pressure is relieved and the infection can drain out rather than build up and again rupture his ear drums to cause scar tissue to form. IF he keeps getting more and more scar tissue, his ear drum will not form correctly, and he will have permanant hearing problems, if he doesn't already. You don't want the problems to get any worse. Scar tissue doesn't vibrate the way a normal eardrum does, thus the hearing problems.

It seems that if you want to be in the music industry these days, all you need is to get into the studio, make some crappy music and have the sound engineer use auto-tune to make it sound bearable to the audience.
Yesterday I was watching television and this gospel musician was feeling so damn good as she "sang" her auto-tuned track. It was unbelievably awful to the extent that I switched the television off.
Why do we have to use this technology anyway? In the past, when there weren't any computers to generate beats or use auto-tune, weren't Ghanaians making music? We have a wide range of instruments; xylophones, acoustic guitars, gongs, drums, etc. Thank God music talent shows these days use live band music. At least they know the importance of natural/raw talent.
If an artiste is good, that artiste would not need to use auto-tune in his/her music. It is as simple as that. I've heard very good tracks made with it but most tracks that use it are just unpleasant and shouldn't even be released.
I mean there are so many artistes out there like Nana Yaa, Efya, Irene Logan, Kwabena Kwabena, Kojo Antwi etc. who belt out classic tunes without these equipment and we love them for it…
If talentless artistes are struggling and have to depend on this auto tune to sell music, that shows they should find a different job. When it comes to music, creativity is the key, not fine tuning…
Let's kill the strong emergence of auto-tune in Ghana music before it becomes unbearable. Next time you pick up an auto-tune, just switch stations or put your set off…This is what I do.
Anyway, what do you think about the use of auto tune? Share your thoughts with us.

In style manager, I can add and edit styles used in the document. But I never found out how to delete a style that exist already. There is a "New" button, but no remove. Using delete on the keyboard doesn't work either. Seems a bit odd that you can't remove a style you created, or don't use any more. Tried google it, but can't find any solution to it. -- Mike |

Stihl leaf blower leaking from exhaust port
I have a Stihl bg55 leaf blower that at one time leaked gas out of the exhaust port. Upon doing some thinking before I wrote in, I wanted to give the most accurate discription of the problem before I wrote in.
Today I went out to my garage and noticed a very black, sooty fluid that had leaked out of the exhaust port of my leaf blower. Upon examining the stain on the floor, I came up with an almost sure theory that it was not accually gas because it would not had been so black. Iliminating the possibility that it has a faulty needle and seat. If this was the problem the leak would have continued until the tank ran dry. 2. The stain was dry, telling me that it only leaked for so long then quit. The only thing I can think of is that there was a buildup of unburned dirty oil somewhere in the motor. When I went to start the motor it ran just fine throughout the intire powerband with a normal idle. Could someone please tell me where this dirty black fluid could be comming from and how to eliminate this from happening again?
Unscrew the exhaust outlet from the muffler. You will find the spark arrestor screen is mostly clogged up from carbon build up. It wouldn't be long until it would not run worth a spit.
You need to secure this outlet nozzle and screen in a vice or vice grips, use a propane torch to heat up the screen to red hot and brush off with a wire brush. Do this away from any fuel or combustables as the hot carbon sparks brushed off could set something on fire.
This is caused from running at half throttle, dirty air filter or fuel mix that is old or has too much oil in it.
OR, you had one or more instances of the needle and seat hanging open a little. Raw fuel/oil mix ran into the engine and out the exhaust port and through the muffler, picking up some black carbon. Add 1 oz/gal Marvel Mystery Oil or Seafoam to your 2-cycle mix in addition to the regular amount of oil. This will clean up the whole system and keep it clean. I don't think any repair is required at this time. All 2-cycle mufflers are full of black gunk.
Hmmmm, I have a BG55 and I'm pretty sure it has a diaphram carb and not a needle and seat type.
Sounds like an overly rich condition, and I'll bet that the stain was fuel. Sounds like too much fuel entering then washing out the exhaust onto the floor.
Whats the spark plug look like? Is it clean or wet and oily?
What ratio of fuel/oil do you run? Should be 40:1.
Have you turned any screws on the carb?
You say it ran good last but has it always?
After reading Neil's response,the problem got me thinking. At one point it ran like crap. No power and no high speed. I then tried adjusting the idle screw and both the High speed and Low speed screws with no results. Come to find out, the spark arrestor screen was plugged so I cleaned it and it ran just fine after more adjusting.I feel at this point it is likely the thing is running too rich and collecting unburned gas and oil in the muffler.It will collect a certain amount until it starts spilling out again. My question is this: Can anyone tell me the factory settings for all three adjustments so the thing runs normal again. I do not live above sea level and no it does not have a catalytic converter.

James Lawton: Ancelotti's urbane competence mocks all our initial doubts
It is hard to believe there has ever been a front-rank football man with such little edge as this son of a tiny farm town in Emilia-Romagna
Friday 05 November 2010
As the pressure begins to mount, Carlo Ancelotti might just break into a Fergie rant or a Wenger wobble or even say something hinting at one of the funny cigarettes some speculate Rafa Benitez has recently been inhaling.
It seems increasingly unlikely, though, he will ever do any such thing.
Indeed as Chelsea roll their perfect record into the sudden-death stage of the Champions League the possibility seems as remote as his ever sharing Sam Allardyce's delusion that it is only through lack of opportunity he has not already proved himself a football re-incarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
This is despite the fact that he could obviously make a somewhat superior case with a haul of four Serie A titles, four European Cups, and an English Double (at his first attempt) as a player and a coach.
Certainly it is hard to believe there has ever been a front-rank football man with such little edge and attitude, someone more attuned to the fact that his greatest success is unlikely to make the earth move or his worst failure cost a single life, as this 51-year-old son of the little farm town of Reggiolo in Emilia-Romagna.
Watching him so effortlessly, and so often drolly, succeed the formidable Guus Hiddink, has not only been an education in the practicalities of football management but also style and that kind of bone-deep composure that is born to just a few men.
Additionally, it has been somewhat shaming, to say the least, for those of us who sniffed at his appointment and suggested that Chelsea might do as well with the passionate, largely untested Gianfranco Zola – because ultimately did not Roman Abramovich want only a high-profile yes-man, someone with safe enough hands to comfortably field the orders coming down from the executive suite?
Ancelotti has quietly mocked such presumptions. He has proved himself his own man in every situation and perhaps one of the most revealing came at Wigan more than a year ago, when there was much wringing of hands after Chelsea, shockingly off their game, suffered a humiliating ambush. "Such things will always happen in football," he said. "What you have to do is go back to work, learn from it. That is the first thing you do. The last thing is to make a drama of it."
It was harder work though, he admits, a little later when Jose Mourinho brought Internazionale to Stamford Bridge in the Champions League and outplayed Chelsea. Ancelotti said it was a wound that had to be healed.
Now, he is candid about the need to carry Chelsea to victory in the Wembley final of the greatest club tournament in the world. "It is a big opportunity we have this season," he said, "and yes, it is a priority."
Yesterday, Ancelotti's voice was as relaxed and philosophical as ever after the workmanlike demolition of Spartak Moscow, and this was so even when it was borne by the Chelsea Magazine.
The headline was bracing enough: "Coach England, why not?" The quotes were pure Ancelotti; you could hear him reflecting over a fine dinner and an agreeable digestive. "I have always said I wouldn't mind doing the national team job," he said, "and not just Italy [for whom he played 26 times and in two World Cups] but Ivory Coast, England... why not?"
Why not, indeed, when you have done almost everything it is possible for a football man to do; when you have played alongside Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi – and left men like Silvio Berlusconi and Abramovich aware that their money can, in your case, buy only knowledge and self-belief.
Go for Zola, did we say? Surely not.

Football: England slump to opening defeat
Tuesday 06 April 1999
The only goal of the Group E match was scored after 10 minutes by Dan Califf, who converted a pass by Francisco Gomez. From then on, England, who play Cameroon on Thursday, were thwarted by the American goalkeeper, Tim Howard, who had a fine match.
Cameroon began their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Japan and look set to become one of the two teams to advance automatically to the second round from the group. The four best third-placed teams from the six groups will also go through.
Japan took a surprise lead over Cameroon in the 51st minute when Naohiro Takahara slotted the ball past the Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni, who is listed as the youngest player in the tournament at 15. But generally Japan were outclassed by Cameroon's Indomitable Lion Cubs, who produced dazzling footwork and dribbling skills, and won the match with two goals from Gaspard Komol, the winner coming in the dying seconds.
In Group F in Calabar, Gabri Garcia de la Torre scored both goals as Spain beat the three-time champions, Brazil, 2-0. He scored from the left corner of the penalty area in the 15th minute, and combined with Pablo Gonzalez to complete the scoring in the 33rd minute.
In Group D in Enugu, Mali were reduced to 10 men but beat the 1997 runners-up, Uruguay 2-1, Mahamadou Dissa snatching the winner with a cheeky chip in the final seconds.
WORLD YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP (Nigeria): Group D (Enugu): Mali 2 Uruguay 1; Portugal 2 South Korea 0. Group E (Kano): Cameroon 2 Japan 1; England 0 United States 1 (Califf 10). Group F (Calabar): Zambia 4 Honduras 3; Spain 2 Brazil 0.

GeForce 9 Mobile GPUs On Linux
Published on 08 June 2008 07:59 PM EDT

Comment On This Article
This past week NVIDIA had unveiled the
GeForce 9 Mobile GPUs
at the Computex Taipei trade-show. The GeForce 9M GPUs were announced just before AMD had rolled out its
Puma platform
with the fastest ATI mobile graphics ever and the introduction of XGP, which is a PCI Express 2.0 technology for allowing external graphics cards to be used with this new notebook platform.
NVIDIA has yet to officially deliver a new Linux driver to support the GeForce 9 Mobile parts; however, the latest release should work. The release we're talking about is
, which had arrived less than two weeks ago.
For those interested in open-source support for these newest mobile GPUs, the story is a bit different. The
developers are still hard at work reverse-engineering the GeForce 8/9 series and writing the resulting 2D/3D driver. It will still be a ways out before the GeForce 9 Mobile support through Nouveau has been stabilized.
If you're alright with just 2D support and using an obfuscated driver, the "nv" driver has picked up support for these new products on Friday. A patch now in the xf86-video-nv git tree for several new mobile ASICs and removes support for the GeForce 9600 GS. The mobile parts that are now listed in this open-source driver include the GeForce 9200M GS, 9300M G, 9300M GS, 9500M G, 9600M GS, 9600M GT, 9650M GS,

BlackBerry 10
Buttons, Be Gone! Preorder the All-Touch BlackBerry Z10 on March 12
At January's BlackBerry 10 launch event, the company introduced two new phones, the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10, and a new platform optimized for touch computing called the BlackBerry 10.
The BlackBerry Z10, available for preorder on AT&T for $200 starting March 12, is a black sheep in the thumb-tapping BlackBerry universe. The phone will be available online and in retail stores on March 22. The company's newest device has no physical keyboard — just a 4.2-inch display designed for precise touch input. It seems that BlackBerry is attempting to compete with the likes of Apple and Android touchscreen devices, and with such a competitive price, it may have a good shot.
BlackBerry also announced a new smartphone for its core button-clicking fan base, the Q10, which has touch capability and a keyboard. The Q10 won't be available until April, and the company has kept mum on pricing and availability information.

United Airlines unveils special edition amenity kit
- Lewis Lazare
- Reporter- Chicago Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
United Airlines on Friday will introduce a "Friendly Skies" special edition of the amenity kit the carrier presents to travelers in its premium BusinessFirst cabin.
There are eight different versions of the new tin box amenity kit with photographic imagery representing United's (NYSE: UAL) eight North American hubs: Chicago; New York City; Cleveland; Washington, D.C.; Denver; Houston; San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
The imagery is taken from the new iteration of United's iconic "Fly the Friendly Skies" ad campaign from McGarryBowen/New York that the airline unveiled last fall. The advertising tagline dates back to the 1960's, when United rolled out its first "Fly the Friendly Skies" ad campaign created by Leo Burnett/Chicago.
This special edition of the United amenity kit includes items found in the airline's traditional BusinessFirst branded amenity kit, including Philosophy brand skin care products, a large comb, ballpoint pen, eye shades, earplugs, toothbrush and toothpaste and hand sanitizer.
According to Tom O'Toole, United's senior vice president of marketing and loyalty and president of the MileagePlus frequent traveler program, the limited-edition kits were designed to remind United's high-paying customers of the airline's extensive hub network that can connect passengers to hundreds of locations worldwide.
The new amenity kits will be distributed through March 1, 2014, or until supplies are exhausted, according to United.

A TelstraClear customer may be the first to be hauled in front of the Copyright Tribunal and fined for internet piracy under the controversial "three strikes" copyright regime that came into effect in September.
TelstraClear spokesman Gary Bowering said it issued a third and final "enforcement" notice to a customer on Thursday for allegedly pirating music, after being instructed to do so by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand.
Bowering said TelstraClear could not comment further as the matter was now out of its hands.
The alleged pirate will have until Thursday week to dispute the enforcement notice.
If they fail to do so, or if Rianz rejects their challenge, the association will then have 35 days in which to decide whether to ask the Copyright Tribunal to take action.
The tribunal can impose a fine of up to $15,000 for serious, flagrant offences under the law, which was designed to discourage people from pirating music and movies using file-sharing services.
However, the Government signalled in a Cabinet paper last year that in some cases it might be sufficient punishment for offenders to reimburse rights holders for the $275 in fees they will have had to incur bringing a case to the tribunal. It has no powers to cut off people's internet access.
Rianz would not confirm whether it intended to make an example of the TelstraClear customer. Esmee Dunlop, of its public relations company, Pead PR, said the association would "not normally comment on anything copyright related".
The association is understood to have issued hundreds of infringement notices to internet users for music piracy, and a Justice Ministry spokeswoman said last month that it believed "a number" of people had received second "warning" notices.
But this is believed to be the first time the association has scored a vital "third strike".
Unlike Rianz, the New Zealand Federation Against Copyright Theft (NZfact), which is owned by the United States Motion Picture Association and represents movie studios, has decided against asking internet providers to issue infringement notices to customers on behalf of its members.
That is because of the $25 fee they must pay internet providers to issue each notice. There is an additional $200 fee to bring a case before the tribunal.
Those fees are now being reviewed by the Economic Development Ministry. NZfact chief executive Tony Eaton said they should be done away with.
Telecommunications Users Association chief executive Paul Brislen said it was "vitally important" people lobbied the ministry not to reduce the fees.
Step 1: Copyright owner detects an infringement and sends the internet protocol (IP) address to the relevant internet provider, which forwards a "detection notice" to their customer.
Step 2: A second infringement between 28 days and nine months later against the same owner or one represented by a shared body triggers a "warning notice".
Step 3: A third infringement between 28 days and nine months later will result in an enforcement notice and the internet provider must forward the customer's details to the Copyright Tribunal if asked to do so by the copyright owner, who then has five weeks to decide whether to take action.
Internet users can challenge notices, through their internet provider, adding an extra step and delaying the process slightly, but notices will stand unless withdrawn by the rights holder.
Step 4: The Copyright Tribunal can impose a fine of up to $15,000 after examining written evidence, or after a hearing if that is requested.

Story highlights Ted Kaczynski, the so-called "Unabomber," listed his eight life sentences as an "award" The entry was listed in the Harvard class of 1962 alumni reportThe Harvard Alumni Association say they "regret publishing Kaczynski's references"At a college reunion, it's common for alumni to share post-collegiate achievements with each other.But a report compiled for this year's 50th reunion class at Harvard University contained an unusual entry. Ted Kaczynski, the so-called "Unabomber" and Harvard alumnus, listed his eight life sentences for a string of bombings that killed three people and wounded 23 others as an "award" in the class of 1962 report.The Harvard Alumni Association said in a statement Thursday that they "regret publishing Kaczynski's references to his convictions and apologize for any distress that it may have caused others." The Boston Globe published an apparent photo of the entry, which lists Kaczynski's occupation as "prisoner" and his address as "No 04475-046, US Penitentiary-Max, P.O.

For our April meetup we are going to Tavern on Jane, a casual, brick-walled neighborhood spot in the West Village that offers classic pub fare as well as a variety of interesting dishes (thank you to Bonnie for suggesting it!). The menu ranges from grilled chicken or shrimp pizza to yellowfin tuna tacos to beer battered fish and chips, salads, and a selection of entrees and pastas. You're sure to find something you like. Although the atmosphere is comfortable and homey in the front of the tavern, we will have our own room in the back which will be a cozy setting conducive to stimulating conversation!
This month let's pick a topic from the social issues category. Please suggest topics on the discussion page I have set up for this meetup (I have suggested two topics there; please add more).
Interesting discussion and good venue, too - atmosphere, table shape, and food quality all much better than Moonstruck. Just slightly too many people to fit. 1 or 2 fewer and it would be perfect.

A method of treating threatened abortion as claimed in claim 8, wherein amino acids are used as stabilizers in the heat treatment.
Description This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/026,010, filed Mar. 4, 1993, now abandoned. This invention relates to an agent for treating threatened abortion. Threatened abortion refers to a condition of a patient within 24 weeks of pregnancy, with an alive fetus, a slight uterine bleeding, parodynia-like pain, lumbago, and no dilatation of the cervix. Since threatened abortion is a condition at the early stage of abortion, it may permit pregnancy to continue depending on treatment. If this condition proceeds, there will be no more recovery from it, and continuation of pregnancy will become impossible. Thus, treatment is required in order to return the patient promptly to the normal non-pregnant state. The cause of threatened abortion is said to lie in the fetus and/or the mother. This condition due to the fetal cause can substantially be neither prevented nor treated. The maternal causes include genital inflammation, endocrine disorders, organic abnormalities of the uterus, infections, excessive labor or exercise, cardiac diseases, renal diseases, malnutrition, and psychophysical states. Usually, these causes are difficult to grasp clinically. Current therapies for threatened abortion are rest and pharmacotherapies including luteal hormone and hCG, as well as hemostatics in the presence of uterine bleeding. None of these therapies have proved sufficiently effective. It is the object of this invention to provide a therapeutic agent showing high efficacy against threatened abortion from the initial stage of treatment. The present invention comprises a therapeutic agent for threatened abortion which contains human blood coagulation factor XIII (hereinafter referred to as factor XIII) as the active ingredient. Factor XIII preparations are used mainly to treat disturbances in wound healing. We have now found that factor XIII exerts the action to ameliorate threatened abortion. This finding has led us to accomplishment of the invention. Factor XIII is also called fibrin-stabilizing factor, fibrinase or plasma transglutaminase, the existence of which was suggested by Robbins in 1944. After studies by Laki and Lorand et al., factor XIII was adopted as its official name at the International Congress on Thrombosis and Haemostasis in 1963. It is widely distributed in plasma, placenta, etc. It acts as a transaminase, which is activated by thrombin and Ca2+ and crosslinks fibrin molecules. The crosslinked molecules form a firm fibrin network that is stable to mechanical and chemical attacks. Besides this fibrin-stabilizing effect, factor XIII has also been demonstrated to play an important role in wound healing process by forming crosslinks between fibrin and fibronectin and promoting fibroblast proliferation and epidermis formation. Factor XIII preparations have already been in wide use as therapeutic agents for wound healing disturbances, etc. Clinical experiences with their use in more than 10,000 patients at home and abroad have shown that these preparations are free from adverse or toxic reactions at a usual dose of about 20-50 units per kg body weight. Factor XIII preparations are manufactured from human placentas or plasmas by well-known methods. An example of the manufacturing method using placentas is as follows: Freeze placentas and divide them finely. Add an NaCl solution to the fine pieces, stir, and centrifuge to collect supernatant I. After ascertaining by enzyme immunoassay that this supernatant I is negative for HBs antigen, add a Rivanol solution to it and collect precipitate II that contains factor XIII. After washing the precipitate, add an NaCl solution containing EDTA to it and stir. Remove the insolubles (precipitate III) and obtain supernatant III. Then, add an N-cetylpyridinium chloride solution to supernatant III to precipitate contaminating proteins and mucopolysaccharides. Add a Rivanol solution to the supernatant IV so obtained, thereby generating precipitate V that contains factor XIII. Add an NaCl solution containing EDTA to this precipitate V, stir, and remove the insolubles (precipitate VI) to obtain supernatant VI. Add ammonium sulfate to supernatant VI to generate precipitate VII that contains factor XIII. Add an EDTA solution to precipitate VII and dialyze against a Tris-HCL buffer containing EDTA and sodium azide. After adjusting pH, remove precipitate VIII and subject supernatant VIII to gel filtration. Combine the active fractions and add ammonium sulfate to the combined fractions, thereby generating precipitate IX containing factor XIII. Dissolve this precipitate IX in a Tris-HCL buffer containing EDTA, dialyze against the same buffer, and adjust pH to collect a precipitate containing factor XIII in the form of euglobulin. Dissolve the euglobulin precipitate in an NaCl solution containing EDTA, and add aminoacetic acid and sucrose. Then, add ammonium sulfate to generate precipitate X containing factor XIII, dissolve this precipitate X in an NaCl solution containing EDTA, and dialyze against the same solution. Adjust the titer of factor XIII using an NaCl solution containing glucose and human serum albumin. Filter this solution aseptically, dispense into glass vials, and lyophilize. In addition to the above-mentioned fractionation method, factor XIII can also be manufactured by genetic engineering. Factor XIII for use in this invention includes those produced by any possible methods, including fractionation and genetic engineering methods. Since factor XIII manufactured by fractionation may possibly contain hepatitis viruses, AIDS virus, etc., it is desired to inactivate these viruses by heat treatment or any other means. The heat treatment is performed by dissolving factor XIII precipitated as euglobulin in an NaCl solution containing EDTA, and heating the solution at approximately 60� C. for 10 hours or so. Amino acids, e.g., glycine, saccharides, etc. can be used as stabilizers in the heat treatment. The lyophilized factor XIII can directly be used as an injection by dissolving it in distilled water for injection (Japanese Pharmacopeia, JP) or the like just before use. The concentration of factor XIII in the injection should be about 250 units/4 ml. The injection can be given either intravenously or intramuscularly. No changes in the composition of the injection have been reported after the solution for injection is mixed with other agents. According to the general cautions for use, however, the injection of factor XIII mixed with other agents should be avoided. Suitably, factor XIII should be administered by injection, but possible dosage forms include parenteral forms such as microcapsules and implants, oral forms such as liquids, tablets and capsules, and external forms such as ointments and suppositories. Factor XIII is administered at a dose of about 1,500 units/day to a patient with threatened abortion. This therapy is continued until no extra-velamentum hematoma is detected in the patient, The usual duration of treatment is about 5 days. If any symptoms recur, treatment may be resumed at any time. The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Example of Formulation and Example of Clinical Trial using the therapeutic agent of the invention. An aqueous solution of purified factor XIII adjusted to a concentration of 250 units/4 ml was charged into vials, and lyophilized to obtain the therapeutic agent of the invention. For use, this lyophilized factor XIII is dissolved in 4 ml distilled water for injection (JP) to make an injection. Subjects: The subjects for a clinical trial were the following 4 patients with threatened abortion who were hospitalized at the Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology of "N" Hospital between March 1989 and October 1990 for atypical genital bleeding and lower abdominal pain, and whose ultrasound echograms showed a marked hematoma between the fetal membranes and the uterine wall.

After the factor XIII preparation of the invention was administered intravenously for 5 days at a daily dose of 1,500 units, the factor XIII levels increased to more than 80% of the normal range, and the extra-velamentum hematoma disappeared within one week. Then, pregnancy continued normally in all patients, and children were delivered normally with no influences from the disease. Threatened abortion can be treated successfully with the factor XIII preparation of the invention. Its effects are much higher than those of conventional therapies. Patent Citations
