Patents are one of the most important forms of intellectual property. They grant a time-limited exclusivity on the use of an invention allowing the recuperation of research costs. The use of patents is fiercely debated for medical innovation and especially controversial for publicly funded research, where the patent holder is an institution accountable to public interest. Despite this controversy, for the situation in Germany almost no empirical information exists. The purpose of this study is to examine the amount, types and trends of patent applications for health products submitted by German public research organisations.
We conducted a systematic search for patent documents using the publicly accessible database search interface of the German Patent and Trademark Office. We defined keywords and search criteria and developed search patterns for the database request. We retrieved documents with application date between 1988 and 2006 and processed the collected data stepwise to compile the most relevant documents in patent families for further analysis. We developed a rationale and present individual steps of a systematic method to request and process patent data from a publicly accessible database. We retrieved and processed 10194 patent documents. Out of these, we identified 1772 relevant patent families, applied for by 193 different universities and non-university public research organisations. 827 (47%) of these patent families contained granted patents. The number of patent applications submitted by universities and university-affiliated institutions more than tripled since the introduction of legal reforms in 2002, constituting almost half of all patent applications and accounting for most of the post-reform increase. Patenting of most non-university public research organisations remained stable.
We search, process and analyse patent applications from publicly accessible databases. Internationally mounting evidence questions the viability of policies to increase commercial exploitation of publicly funded research results. To evaluate the outcome of research policies a transparent evidence base for public debate is needed in Germany.

Re: Rallies Gone Wrong
You two are seriously high-maintenance. But it's the holidays, so I'll continue to try to help you understand things.

Safety inspections--ISAF-based or not--are simply NOT the answer to improved safety at sea. Judgment, skill, and experience in that order are the answer. "Stuff" is a distant fourth. Unfortunately you can't teach judgment. I think you can learn it with enough scar tissue. *grin*
I don't think anyone has said that ISAF is
"'solution' to safety at sea". You seem to have trouble understanding what you read.
I won't re-hash it all here, because I think I've been very clear about the issues surrounding the SDR being the
of a low bar to entry (especially for this stretch of ocean at this time of year)
combined with
laissez faire
approach to safety. Maybe you can find someone to explain this to you.

Right. You seem to be in the same confused boat as Ausp. See the above for the problem with the SDR. I think I've been very clear about that.
They should at least change one or the other of these current approaches.

Completely nonsensical... Congrats, you're following Lewis Carrol through the rabbit hole and into ALICE IN WONDERLAND, with your endorsement of that sort of 'logic'... :-)
Yes...what you typed above is completely non-sensical. Of course, no one in this debate has ever said anything like that. If that's really what you understand Nielsen to being saying when you read his quote, that explains perfectly why you don't understand what's being talked about here.
It's always better to stick with what someone actually says than trying mightily to twist it to fit your point. Otherwise, "in effect", you're saying that:
"Nielsen is a fool who believes that inexperienced sailors should rub themselves with seal fat and try to ride a polar bear."

Cool. So you're reversing yourself and finally acknowledging what I actually wrote instead of spinning into another rabbit hole. Thank you.

OK, help me out here, since you appear to know "exactly" what Nielsen means with this nonsensical non-sequitur.
I said "exactly" because I agree with what he wrote. Let me try yet again to boil it down for you...while you keep in mind the title of his article, "Group Think":
The Salty Dawg people...take a laissez-faire approach that places the onus for preparation and decision-making on the individual skippers. Rightly so, you may say, and I would usually be the first to agree, as the ultimate responsibility for a boat's safety rest squarely on the shoulders of its captain.
Now - to this point, he said he would
see things the way you and Ausp (and most everyone else including me) sees them...that the ultimate responsibility for a boat's safety rest squarely on the shoulders of its captain.
But then there's the but...
But of all the reasons to join a flock of other boats in an organized blue water rally, surely the notion of safety is one of the strongest. I suspect that the passage that lay ahead of the skippers in the Salty Dawg and the C1500 would be the longest most of them had undertaken, and faced with the unfamiliar, there is certainty of comfort in company, and at least the illusion of safety in numbers.
For the less-experienced skippers (the ones Ausp and you seem to continually ignore in your diatribes) - the notion of "safety" provided by the rally is an illusion.
This is the higher risk I've been talking about for this entire thread. And if this illusion is not dealt with by the rally - by either increasing the experience-level for entry, or NOT taking a
laissez faire
approach to these sailor's safety - that organization is creating a dangerous situation (while making money off of it).
Originally Posted by
You keep insisting that the SDR is 'doing it wrong', and yet neither you, nor Neilsen, say with any degree of clarity what the SDR did wrong...
Actually, I've said very clearly, over and over again, what the SDR is doing wrong. I've said it twice now above. I'm not sure I can make it any more clear to you and Ausp without diagrams drawn with a crayon.

Absolutely right. Now if the SDR agreed with you and increased their standard of entry to match your view - we'd be golden. If they're NOT going to do that (especially if there is ANY financial incentive in
not doing so
) then that boat (and its safety equipment) is likely going to have to play a much more critical role...especially under the illusion of safety Nielsen mentions.

Middle East and North Africa News
Part I: Islam and the New State
Oct 03, 2012
This new series provides a platform for women to engage in a free and fluid exchange about pivotal Middle East issues. For the first piece, women across the region were asked to answer this question: What should be the role of Islam in your society? And what should be Islam's role in your government?
Part II: Religious Leaders on Anti-Islam Film
Sep 28, 2012
On Sept. 9, the Salafi preacher and television host Sheikh Khalid Abdullah aired a YouTube clip of the "Innocence of Muslims" film on satellite channel al Nas. Religious leaders across the region condemned the film's offensive content. High-ranking clerics in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and elsewhere called for restraint after the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya on Sept. 11.
Part I: Governments on Anti-Islam Film
Sep 28, 2012
The leaders of Islamist governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia have condemned attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates in reaction to the offensive "Innocence of Muslims" film. In public statements and private contacts with American officials, all three leaders assured the United States that the assaults did not reflect government policy or public opinion among the majority in their countries. Each of them blamed small groups of extremists.
Gallup: U.S. Approval Down Across the Region
Sep 24, 2012
On Sept. 24, Gallup released a poll showing that U.S. approval in the Middle East was already waning before the "Innocence of Muslims" film provoked widespread anti-U.S. demonstrations. The organization surveyed 12 countries between January and May 2012. All together about 20 percent of adults approved of the U.S. leadership's "job performance."
Erdogan Condemns Attack on U.S. Embassy
Sep 14, 2012
On Sept. 14, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for restraint in reaction to "The Innocence of Muslims" movie. The amateur film's offensive portrayal of the Prophet Mohammed has prompted protests in more than a dozen countries in the region since Sept. 11. Erdogan condemned the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Gallup: Libyans Want Militias Disarmed Immediately
Sep 14, 2012
On Sept. 13, Gallup released a poll showing that 95 percent of surveyed Libyans want militias to turn in their weapons immediately. Gallup conducted more than 1000 face-to-face interviews with adults during March and April 2012.
IMF: Tunisia's Economic Burdens
Sep 13, 2012
On Sept. 5, the International Monetary Fund published a report on Tunisia's post-uprising economic and social challenges. Tunisia's economic prospects are now improving due to increased government spending and tourism revenues. But unemployment remains high at 19 percent overall and more than 40 percent among youth.
Facebook Sheikhs and Tweeting Islam
Sep 11, 2012
Three years after Facebook launched an Arabic interface, charismatic Muslim sheikhs are gaining a new generation of followers by tapping into interactive media. Since 2009, hundreds of 21st century preachers have created digital forums that allow distant audiences to communicate with them—and with each other. Tweets and Facebook updates keep the faithful engaged with Islamic content even if they miss their favorite sheikh's television program.
In Their Own Words: Mohamed Morsi
Sep 07, 2012
In just ten weeks, President Mohamed Morsi has gone from political unknown to one of the most powerful leaders in the Middle East. The U.S.-educated engineer—a former parliament member and a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Guidance Council—is proving to be both unpredictable and politically savvy.

Washington, DC, - To raise awareness of the importance of newborn hearing screening and the benefits of hearing health on early development, the National Campaign for Hearing Health (NCHH) is partnering with Advanced Brain Technologies, LLC (ABT), through ABT's newly released "Music for Babies" series. ABT will include information about newborn hearing screening and NCHH public education and advocacy initiatives, to educate parents about the importance of hearing health and how to raise a hearing healthy child, in the "Music for Babies" CD booklets, on the ABT website, and on the "Music for Babies" product flyers. A baby hearing checklist will be sent free to parents who request one via a response card placed inside each "Music for Babies" CD.
"Just as food nourishes a baby's growing body, the elements of music - melody, tone and harmony - nourish a baby's rapidly developing brain," explained Alex Doman, President of ABT, "Even before children are born, research shows that music has a beneficial effect on the network of neurons that will be the foundation of their later learning, language development and music ability. However, to learn easily and communicate effectively, your child needs to hear well. That is why we are so pleased to partner with NCHH, to educate parents about the importance of hearing health on their child's development."
The "Music for Babies" series is a break-through for early child development, and is built note by note on the latest discoveries related to brain development in very young children. Created in collaboration with experts across a broad range of scientific and artistic disciplines, each volume helps children achieve their fullest potential.
"There is no doubt that early auditory stimulation is integral to a child's cognitive and language development," said Kiersten Tomchik, Director of Corporate Relations at NCHH. "The 'Music for Babies' series is a delightful opportunity to enhance learning development through sound, and is an important extension of our 'Hearing Healthy Kids' program - a comprehensive public awareness and education campaign about what it means to raise a hearing healthy child."
About Advanced Brain Technologies, LLC
Founded in 1998, ABT combines extensive clinical experience with the latest neuroscience and music research to create products, programs, and services that enhance health, learning and productivity. Based on over thirty years of clinical research with thousands of individuals at the National Academy for Child Development and with experts in various fields, ABT's growing family of brain-based programs is created to help people reach their fullest potential.

Georgia granny thwarts 2 would-be robbers in shootout
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
MACON, Ga. (AP) — Authorities in Georgia say a grandmother foiled a robbery attempt by two armed men by getting into a shootout with them, injuring one man.
Police told The Telegraph (http://bit.ly/IbEZXT) that Lulu Campbell just dropped off her grandson at her daughter's house early Saturday morning when someone demanded money outside her car, threatening to shoot her.
Campbell says the man fired at her, missing. The 57-year-old fired back, striking him in the chest. Her truck sustained eight bullet holes in the hood, one in the grill. Both front side windows were destroyed. The second man fled after she shot at him.
Campbell, who owns convenience stores and gas stations, always is armed.
Police say 32-year-old Brenton Lance Spencer has been hospitalized and was charged with aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery.

Pre-bid meeting will be held in September, says Ebrahim Kunju
Global tenders for the Rs.5,581-crore elevated Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) in Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode will be floated this week.
The Expression of Interest and Pre-qualification document for inviting global tenders had earlier been handed over to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the general consultant, by Kerala Mono Rail Corporation Ltd (KMCL), the special purpose vehicle set up to execute the monorail in the two cities. The DMRC will invite the tenders.
Nod granted
The KMCL board headed by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, which met here on June 24, had given the clearance for floating the global tenders.
The two-stage tender process to be taken up by the DMRC includes Request for Qualification (RFQ) and Request for Proposal (RFP).
Global tenders will be floated by treating the two monorail projects as one as only 36.4-km stretch would be covered in the first phase in both the cities.
Official sources said the tenders were being floated to select the companies for designing the monorail project and setting it up in the two cities, operation and maintenance for five years, and to mobilise funds.
Apart from the construction works for the monorail, those selected would have to supply rolling stock, build-up signalling and telecommunication facility and construct stations and depots in both the cities.
Minister for Public Works V. K. Ebrahim Kunju said the pre-bid meeting would be held in September. Already, a time schedule had been prepared by DMRC Principal Adviser E. Sreedharan to complete the tender process by six months and to fix the contract in seven months.
The 22.2-km Monorail has been mooted from Techno city to Karamana in the capital and 14.2 km with 15 stations starting from the Government Medical College hostel area to Meenchantha in Kozhikode.
The corporate office of the KMCL will be inaugurated by Mr. Chandy near the Raj Bhavan in the capital on July 2. The project office in Kozhikode will be inaugurated by Minister for Industries and IT P.K. Kunhalikutty at the Collectorate on July 6.
Keywords: Mass Rapid Transit System, Kerala Mono Rail Corporation Ltd, monorail tenders, V. K. Ebrahim Kunju

Miscellaneous / Junk Food - Killing Ourselves With KindnessJunk Food - Killing Ourselves With KindnessThis essay Junk Food - Killing Ourselves With Kindness is available for you on Essays24.com! Search Term Papers, College Essay Examples and Free Essays on Essays24.com - full papers database.

Junk Food - Killing Ourselves With Kindness Fellow students or ladies and gentlemen, Junk food is everywhere. There are more than 300,000 fast food outlets in the US alone. The food they are selling us is low in nutrition and high in calories. Junk food is popular, fast and convenient. Nutritional experts regularly tell us how bad it is for us, yet we can't seem to get enough of it. Junk food is called that because it is high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol. It is everything the doctor didn't order. Call it junk food, fast food or processed food, we are eating more of it than ever before. Over 90% of the money we spend on food is spent on processed foods. The cost is more illness and soaring healthcare problems. The cost is a nation that is becoming obese and overweight. In combination with increasingly sedentary lifestyles, our diet of junk food is slowly killing us while we believe we are doing ourselves a kindness. Junk food is items such as fried chicken, burgers, hot dogs and pizza. Listed among junk food are some of our nation's favourite snacks. These include chocolate, French fries, most deserts, sweets and gum and all washed down with soda. Junk food means our doughnuts, cheeseburgers, taco style meals and the snacks we love to munch on. The fact is the very things we love the most are, in fact, the very things that are doing us serious damage. It is thought that half of all Americans have cholesterol levels that are dangerously high. Obesity rates have soared in the last twenty years. Over 70 million Americans are affected. Obesity is caused by two things. The first is a lack of activity and exercise and the second is consuming more calories than we need. Those calories come from the food we eat and that food is overwhelmingly junk food. Nutritional experts say that, on average, a man needs 2,700 calories a day to maintain a desirable weight. A woman, who is not pregnant or breastfeeding, needs slightly less at 2,000. To lose weight, you simply have to take in fewer calories than you burn. It sounds simple but it rarely is. The junk food we eat regularly is piled high with calories. One average junk food meal loads us down with more than a 1000 calories straight away. On top of that it will add more sodium or salt than we could possibly use, along with cholesterol to clog up our arteries. As well as this junk food is saturated fat. An average burger or pizza meal will contain at least 30g of fat and perhaps as much as 50g. Every 5g of fat means you are eating the equivalent of one teaspoon of fat. That means in that one burger or pizza meal you are putting six to ten teaspoons of fat into your body. We are eating ourselves into early graves with lives blighted by obesity and illness. High fat content food means high blood cholesterol levels. That means a hardening of the arteries. It means more heart disease. It means more strokes and possibly a rise in some types of cancers such as breast cancer or cancer of the colon. Yet more than ever we are content to gorge ourselves on these nutrient poor snacks and sweets. Astoundingly, junk food kills as many Americans as tobacco. It is difficult for us to change these habits, yet we must if we are to reverse this tide of sluggishness and obesity. Did you realise that junk food can even clog up your brain? Scientists have made connections between the amount of fat in diets and slow brain activity. To get some idea of the struggle we are up against, consider the million or so dollars the government might spend in a year persuading us to eat more fruit and vegetables. These are foods that are high in nutrients and low in cholesterol, calories and fats. A single burger chain might spend upwards of a billion dollars persuading us to eat its fast food products. It is difficult for us to escape the tempting aromas of some fast foods. There is no doubt about it, we find fast food sorely tempting. Fast food outlets are literally everywhere. Not just restricted to restaurants or takeaways, we have access to fast food wherever we are, whether it's the mall, at the game or at the cinema. Gas stations have become 24 hr junk food dispensers, with whole sections of their shelves given over to fast foods and unhealthy snacks. Children, in particular, are bombarded with images, free gifts and the constant marketing of fast food giants. Our school and college campuses have become stuffed with vending machines on the back of so-called sponsorship deals. These deals only guarantee that more students become junk food addicts. Research has shown that we now eat far less fibre in our diets and to a large extent this fibre has been replaced with unhealthy fats. Fibre is found in complex carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, wholegrain cereals as well as in beans, peas and lentils. Fast food is very definitely a part of our busy lives. Yet we must learn to regulate the things that we eat. Indeed even some fast food options offer healthier and lower fat alternatives. Why not choose small fries and water instead of large fries and a soda? There's a choice that we can all make that will make a difference to our well-being and even our lives. The sugar boost that many snacks give us is a temporary fix. Shortly afterwards we return to feeling sluggish and comatose. Why don't we snack on things that are not only good for us but also make us actually feel good? There are many foods that are just as fast and convenient that are actually packed with vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Why not pick up a piece of fruit? For the ultimate in pre-packed snacks, for example, try unpeeling a banana! Rather than simply heading for the nearest fast food outlet, why not make a detour to the grocery store? Here there are pre-washed and even pre-prepared snacks and meals that are fresh, full of flavour and have little of the fat, salt and added sugars contained in most junk food. Apples, grapes, cherries, blueberries, pears: the list of natural and healthy snacks is endless. We should make it our business to find out what we are eating and what we should be eating. How much do you really know about the food that goes into your system? The US Department of Health and Human Services estimate that half a million deaths annually are due to cancer, heart disease, strokes and diabetes. These deaths are directly linked to our diets. An improved diet and increased exercise could reduce cancer rates by 30-40%. We have to get rid of this notion that by eating junk food we are somehow making life easier for ourselves and being kind to our bodies. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being who we are, however, those big fries will keep calling our name. Every now and again, we will probably give in. Our diets and the diseases they cause did not appear overnight. Eating junk food occasionally will not kill you on its own. The trick is to eat these things as part of a seriously balanced diet. One day in gym won't make you fit and neither will one fast food blow out make you fat. We have a lot to gain, though, by paying careful attention to our diet over a longer period of time. Those gains should be in our health, fitness and well-being. They should have nothing at all to do with illness, obesity and disease.

I was completely dazzled by this game. None of my friends could understand how I could play this game when better looking ones are out on the market... This is what I told them - "It is not how good the game looks, but rather in the quality of the gameplay." This is never more true than with this game. Its in-game graphics stink (some of the CG graphics rock!), but that is not enough to stop me from playing it! The storyline just blew me away - not that it was overly complex like other games out there - it was just really well told and integrated into a game format. Playing Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is like reading a really good fantasy/romance novel. It stirs the heart just thinking about it...
The game tells the story of the developing love between a young hero, Hiro, and a princess from another planet, Lucia. Hiro offers to help Lucia find the goddess, Althena. Over their quest they gather many friends and allies and together they overcome many difficult problems. In this regard it is just like any other game - except the fact that it has a great storybook quality to it! The story just draws you further in the longer you play, until you just don't want to stop playing!
The game contains over an hour of CG/anime sequences. These are really well done, except for some small visual glitches that must have happened due to the expanding of the resolution. You can watch these over and over again once you hit the Epilogue of the game! Oh! I guess I forgot to mention the Epilogue! Another fun feature in the game is that they let you continue the story of Hiro and Lucia after they save the world from Zophar! They allow you to wander the world looking for new artifacts, and even give you entry to several new levels! I found this last part really challenging, and therefore interesting, to play.
I hope that my little rant has made some of you go out and buy the game! If no one has, then it is okay too! As always, please write me at email@example.com, if you have any further questions, or corrections (particularly with directions)!

Summary: Power Controlled Minimum Frame Length Scheduling in TDMA Wireless Networks with Sectored Antennas Arindam K. Das, Robert J. Marks, Payman Arabshahi, Andrew Gray Abstract-- We consider the problem of power controlled min- imum frame length scheduling for TDMA wireless networks. Given a set of one-hop transmission requests, our objective is to schedule them in a minimum number of time slots, so that each slot schedule is free of self-interferences and meets desired SINR constraints. Additionally, the transmit power vector correspond- ing to each slot schedule should be minimal. We consider two dif- ferent versions of the problem, a per-slot version and a per-frame version, and develop mixed integer linear programming models which can be used for solving the problems optimally. In addition, we propose a heuristic algorithm for the per-slot version. I. INTRODUCTION In this paper, we consider the problem of power controlled adaptive frame length scheduling in TDMA wireless networks. To the best of our knowledge, the issue of joint scheduling and power control was first addressed by Tamer and Ephremides

Most attorneys are suspicious of jurors who say they know nothing about a high-profile case. One popular perception is that lawyers — particularly defense attorneys — want and are able to find jurors who do not know anything about a given famous case. But that's not true.
"Jurors always know something about the case," said Ron Fischetti, who represented white former New York Police Officer Charles Schwarz for his alleged involvement in the attack on Haitian immigrant Abner Louima. "The test is whether they have formed an opinion on the case and whether they can put that opinion aside."
Profiling the Jury
Since prospective jurors are almost always drawn from the community where the case is being tried, jury consultants often help lawyers get a feeling for the local residents and their attitudes to the case. The research helps them advise lawyers on what kind of jurors would be best for their case and recommend questions to ask the jury pool. It can help lawyers determine whether the members of the community will be able to put their opinions aside if called to serve as a juror.
Jury consultants sometimes set up mock juries using local residents. Prosecutors or defense attorneys can then present their arguments to the mock jurors to gauge the community's attitude toward their case and their client. Consultants also use surveys and statistical modeling tests to help determine what kind of biases and prejudices prospective jurors in the area may have.
However, sometimes surveys and tests cannot anticipate the pressure some prospective jurors may feel from members of their community.
"You have those who worry about having to go back to the community and have people say, 'Hey, he raped one of our own and you let him off. How could you do that?' That's got to be tough," Sherman said.
Jury consultants also observe whether mock jurors react negatively to prosecutors and defense lawyers and their clients and advise them whether they could present themselves or their client differently before the a real jury.
"Sometimes jurors react negatively to certain attorneys, whether it's something they do or the manner in which they carry themselves," said Linda Foley, a jury consultant and professor of psychology at the University of North Florida. "Apparently, this happened in the O.J. Simpson case with [prosecutor] Marcia Clark. Jurors can zero in on things that suggest that, 'He's not being honest with us.' "
Foley acknowledged, however, that jury consulting has limitations, because juries are often unpredictable when they get into the courtroom.
"We're making general predictions when you're talking about a very specific jury," Foley said. "Every jury is different."
Taking the Trial on the Road
If defense lawyers suspect that pretrial publicity might have turned local residents against their client, they can ask judges to order the trial moved to another jurisdiction where residents will have heard less about the case. A change of venue could influence a life-or-death decision for Scott Peterson, who could face the death penalty if convicted of killing his wife.
Attorneys for Peterson have been seeking a change of venue from Modesto, and prosecutors in the case reportedly hired a consultant and sought a survey in an effort to show the judge that Peterson could get a fair trial in his home town.

Morgellons disease is mysterious and controversial. Here you'll find answers to common questions about Morgellons disease — and suggestions for coping with it.
Morgellons disease is an uncommon, unexplained skin disorder characterized by sores, crawling sensations on and under the skin, and fiber-like filaments emerging from the sores. It's not certain what these strings are. Some say they are wisps of cotton thread, probably coming from clothing or bandages. Others say they result from an infectious process in the skin cells. Further study is needed.
People who have Morgellons disease report the following signs and symptoms:
The intense itching and open sores associated with Morgellons disease can severely interfere with a person's quality of life.
Researchers with the Centers for Disease Control note that the signs and symptoms of Morgellons disease are very similar to those of a mental illness involving false beliefs about infestation by parasites (delusional parasitosis).
Morgellons disease is a relatively rare condition that most frequently affects middle-aged white women. A cluster of cases occurred in California, which prompted the CDC to conduct a research study to determine if the cases were somehow related. Another study conducted in London reviewed five years of cases, from 2003 to 2008, and found 18 patients with a diagnosis of unexplained dermopathy or Morgellons. Of these, 83 percent were middle-aged women and 69 percent were white.

Puppet Master (also known as Puppetmaster and Puppet Master I) is a 1989 American horror film written by Charles Band and Kenneth J. Hall, and directed by David Schmoeller. It is the first film in the Puppet Master franchise and stars Paul Le Mat, Irene Miracle, Matt Roe and Kathryn O'Reilly as psychics who are plotted against by a former colleague, using puppets animated by an Egyptian spell. Originally intended for theatrical release in summer 1989, before being released on home video the following September, Puppet Master was ultimately pushed to a direct-to-video release on October 12, 1989, as Charles Band felt he was likely to make more money this way than he would in the theatrical market. The film was very popular in the video market and since developed a large cult following that has led to the production of ten sequels.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2011) |
In 1939 Bodega Bay, California, an old puppeteer named Andre Toulon is putting the finishing touches on a living puppet called Jester. A living oriental puppet, named Shredder Khan, stares out of the window for Blade, another living puppet, as Blade scouts the grounds of the Bodega Bay Inn that Andre is staying. Two Nazi spies get out of a car and head for Toulon's room but Blade beats them there and Andre puts Blade, Jester and Shredder Khan into a chest with the Indian puppet, named Gengie, before hiding the chest in a wall panel. As the Nazis break down the door, Toulon shoots himself in the mouth with a pistol.
50 years later, in 1989, psychics Alex Whitaker, Dana Hadley, Frank Forrester and Carissa Stamford make contact with an old colleague of theirs, Neil Gallagher, and conclude he found Andre Toulon's hiding place. Each one of them experiences a different vision; Alex sees Neil pointing a gun at a young woman's head, and dreams of leeches sucking blood out of his stomach, while Dana for-sees her possible death.
The psychics meet at the Bodega Bay Inn that Neil resides at and meet Neil's wife, Megan, the woman from Alex's vision. They also meet the housekeeper, Theresa. The psychics are skeptical that Neil took a wife but it is forgotten when Megan tells them that Neil shot himself. Theresa, Megan, and Alex leave the body, leaving Frank, Carissa and Dana. Dana stabs a long pin into Neil's corpse to verify that he is in fact dead.
Each psychic experiences a vision; Dana tells Theresa not to go near the fireplace, Alex sees Neil wearing a mask while dancing with Megan in the dining room, and Carissa sees Neil assaulting a woman in the elevator. As the sun sets, Pinhead, another living puppet, climbs out of Neil's casket. That night at dinner, Dana makes several remarks about Neil that causes Megan to leave the table. Alex goes after her and explains about the powers of the people in the group. Carissa is a psychometrist, and she can touch an object and give the object's history, Dana can tell fortunes and locate things and people, and Alex himself has premonitions in his dreams and when he's awake. All four of them were helping Neil in his research of Alchemy, and during that time, Frank and Neil discovered that the Egyptians created a method of giving life to inanimate figurines, a power passed down to practitioners of magic, and Dana tracked down the location of Andre Toulon, the last true alchemist, to the hotel. But because he hasn't made contact with them in a while, Dana and the rest think he screwed them over and took whatever he was looking for himself, and they're there to take it and settle the score.
When night falls, Theresa goes near the fireplace and is knocked out when Pinhead hits her with a poker. Someone moves Gallagher's body to a chair, and causes Megan to become ill. Before going to bed, Dana puts protection spells around Alex and his room, forcing Blade to leave Alex alive for now. Carissa and Frank spend some intimate time together to open up a channel and make contact with Neil in their hotel room but two more living puppets, Tunneler and Leech Woman, enter. Tunneler kills Carissa by drilling into her face and Leech Woman vomits poisonous leeches onto Frank's body, which drain his blood, which it disrupts Alex in his sleep. Meanwhile, Gallagher's body reappears in Dana's room, and she puts a spell on him to put him at rest until she is attacked by Pinhead, who breaks her leg. Pinhead chases her and repeatedly strangles and punches her until she manages to knock him away, only to have her throat cut by Blade, using his knife-hand, fulfilling her fortune.
Alex has a premonition of Megan taking him to Toulon's room when nightmares of Megan having a gun put to her head by Neil and the other psychics being found dead block him from seeing the room, but is eventually awoken by Megan, who takes him into the room that Andre Toulon was in, and tells him that Neil found Andre's secret to bringing inanimate objects to life. Alex has a vision of Neil shooting him and they go downstairs to escape when Alex senses the others in the dining room, and finds their dead bodies sitting around a table. They are stopped by the newly resurrected Neil. He explains that "metaphysically speaking", he did commit suicide, but he used Toulon's secrets to give himself eternal life. He contacted them all so they wouldn't take the secret from him, and he hopes to use their bodies for future human experiments (the first being Megan's parents), expressing disgust of working with the puppets and violently throws Jester at a chair. Seeing this attack on one of their own, the puppets revolt against Neil, brutally killing him in front of Alex and Megan.
The film cuts to Alex saying goodbye to Megan and leaving the hotel. Now alone, Megan picks up Dana's taxidermic dog, and in the following scene, the dog becomes completely animate, walking up the stairs with Megan, indicating that she, too, has learned Toulon's method (although the film's sequel dispels that she has become the next Puppet Master).

Critical reception for the film has been mixed to negative.
TV Guide gave the film a negative review calling it "a pointless variation on the killer-doll genre".[1] Wes R. from Oh the Horror.com gave the film a positive review stating, "Despite its flaws, Puppet Master emerges as one of the more enjoyable of the 'killer toy' type horror films".[2] It currently has a 33% "Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes[3]
Home video[edit]

Puppet Master has been reissued several times. It is available in a box set featuring the first seven installments of the series, an 18-disc Full Moon Features collection and a Spanish-subtitled import collection of the first three Puppet Master films. In 2007, Razor Digital released an uncut DualDisc version of Puppet Master, featuring both the standard and stereoscopic versions of the film. The uncut version restores a number of deleted scenes, including additional footage of Frank and Carissa having sex, extra frames added to Dana's death which make the slash across her throat more visible, and Neil's death scene being extended to contain more gore. In December 2008, Band authorized Puppet Master for digital download through the iTunes Store; his first foray into the digital market.
20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray[edit]
On June 15, 2010, Full Moon re-released Puppet Master (in its original widescreen format for the first time) in a collector's edition 2-disc set with its eighth canon sequel, Puppet Master: Axis of Evil (Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys is not from Full Moon Features and is not considered part of the series). The set includes packaging resembling Toulon's trunk, a poster for Axis of Evil, mini-poster cards for all of the films in the series, and stickers featuring each puppet. The set is available in DVD and Blu-ray, marking Full Moon's first foray into the Blu-ray market, including both their first film (Puppet Master) and their latest film (Axis of Evil, at the time).[4] As of July 27, 2010 both Axis Of Evil and new release of the first film are available to own separately on DVD and Blu-ray.
In March 2009, it was reported that Band is interested in remaking 1989's Puppet Master in 3-D.[5] Similarly, the original film was reissued by Razor Digital in 2007 in DualDisc format, featuring both standard and stereoscopic versions, as well as being uncut, unlike the Full Moon release.

Excellent movie. This brings to light so many of the injustices seen by the people of Africa. The portrayal of child soldiers is sad, but true. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to be enlightened by the goings on and abuse of the African people.

Governor Christie Announces Innovative Partnership Between Harlem Children's Zone and City of Paterson
Governor Christie Announces Innovative Partnership Between Harlem Children's Zone and City of Paterson
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
Trenton, NJ – *Furthering his commitment to fostering innovative and creative solutions to provide high-quality education to every New Jersey child, Governor Chris Christie today announced that Harlem Children's Zone and the City of Paterson will partner to launch a pilot program aimed at providing students a unique and comprehensive educational experience. The announcement, made by Governor Christie at the Trenton premiere of the film "Waiting For Superman," establishes a program modeled after what is considered "one of the most ambitious social-service experiments of our time" aimed at rebuilding entire communities. The program will be facilitated by the New Jersey Department of Education and will hopefully serve as the foundation for future partnerships with Harlem Children's Zone.
"Under Geoffrey Canada's leadership, the Harlem Children's Zone has become a national model of what can be accomplished when we move beyond the status quo and institutional impediments that protect failure at the expense of children," said Governor Christie. "Over the coming weeks and months, we will work with Geoffrey and the Harlem Children's Zone to put in place a program in Paterson that will emulate the success of Harlem Children's Zone and give the children of Paterson a renewed sense of hope and opportunity."
The initiative in Paterson will use the Harlem Children Zone's successful model to form a strategic plan that will form extensive partnerships with community organizations. By working together with existing groups, the initiative seeks to rebuild the community and its schools, learning from and building upon the Harlem Children Zone's model.
"Our efforts in Harlem have proved that a community that comes together and puts its young people first can create a radically different environment – one of progress and success – for children to be a part of," said Geoffrey Canada. "Governor Christie is taking great strides to reform educational models to make sure children are our very first priority. I'm proud to stand with the Governor and community leaders to take another step in that direction and give the community of Paterson the educational foundation to succeed."
Harlem Children's Zone's core mission is positive education outcomes for every child through effective schools and community programs, with the final result of graduation from college. The United States Department of Education's highly-touted "Promise Neighborhoods" initiative is premised upon the HCZ model and designed to ensure that school reform and neighborhood revitalization are interconnected. HCZ utilizes an integrated approach to community renewal that focuses on comprehensive support for children from birth all the way through college.

Click to visit Dr. Gaver's Biofluid Mechanics laboratory website
My laboratory aims to develop an understanding of the interrelationships between the mechanical and physicochemical behavior of biological systems. The main thrust of this research involves investigations of the pulmonary system. It is my intent to use this understanding to help, either directly or indirectly, the development of improved therapies for pulmonary disease. At present, this research focuses on investigations of interfacial phenomena and transport processes relevant to pulmonary disorders. These investigations require the study of surface-tension-gradient-driven (Marangoni) convection, capillarity, physicochemical hydrodynamics, viscous flows, fluid/flexible-boundary interactions and convection-diffusion transport. In addition, I have developed a recent interest in environmental research related to the influence of mechanical stress on cells. These studies focus on identifying the fluid stress field exerted on adherent cells, which may have an impact on mechanotransduction, cell adhesion or bacterial migration through porous media.

Eavesdrop> Building Bruins: UCLA looks to build off Playa Vista success in Westwood
UCLA Architecture and Urban Design's new campus at the Hercules Hangar in Playa Vista has been a great success. Now we hear from a source that the school is looking to design an addition to its Perloff Hall in Westwood. Whispers say that the designer will be the campus architect, which probably wouldn't make the school's talented architects very happy. Stay tuned for a potential gossip blockbuster.
UCLA SUPRASTUDIO to Take On Elon Musk's Hyperloop Proposal
"This thing is real," architect Craig Hodgetts said in an email about the Hyperloop, Elon Musk's proposal for a high-speed transit system somewhere between a train and a human-scale pneumatique. Hodgetts would know: next year, he'll direct a studio on the urban implications of the technology for SUPRASTUDIO, UCLA Architecture and Urban Design's Master of Architecture II program. The partnership between SUPRASTUDIO, part of UCLA's IDEAS laboratory, and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, the startup company formed to make Musk's concept a reality, is part of a strategy to crowd-source much of the research and development behind the Hyperloop.
Disco Inferno At UCLA Creates Amorphous Oddities
In a city obsessed with spectacle, it seems only fitting that graduate architecture students at UCLA would investigate the subject in one of its most literal forms. The students (including the author of this blog post) have designed objects, known collectively as Space Oddities, or Variations on the Disco Ball, for a 10-week technology and construction seminar led by professor Jasson Payne. The pieces, morphed from their disco ball origins, are now neither spherical nor symmetrical. Hung in a darkened gallery, they cast a dizzying array of reflections, shapes, shadows, and forms across the room.
Dustup as UCLA Considers Selling Bel-Air Japanese Garden
Try selling one Japanese garden, and all hell breaks loose. That's what UCLA is discovering after announcing plans to sell the UCLA Hannah Carter Japanese Garden in Bel-Air, which it has owned for more than 50 years, since 1964. The property also contains a lovely Georgian Colonial house and a traditional Japanese tea house.
UCLA claims that the move is necessary due to budget cuts (the site costs over $100,000 a year to maintain, it says), and because the property serves no academic or research purposes. But garden and architecture lovers fear that the site—regarded as one of the nation's preeminent postwar gardens—will be in jeopardy if it transfers hands. UCLA says it hopes to find a responsible owner. We'll see how this shakes out.
LA's Little Tokyo Gets Its Moment
Ever wonder what LA will look like in 30, 50, or 100 years? Little Tokyo Design Week, which launched last night in downtown Los Angeles, captures a glimpse of the future city through the eyes of innovative designers and companies inspired by technology from Japan. The four-day celebration takes place in one of the country's few remaining Japan-towns and includes panels, exhibitions, parties, pop-up stores and even pub crawls. It opened last night with a forum from LA architecture school leaders Hitoshi Abe, Qingyan Ma, Ming Fung, and Andrew Zago, an outdoor screening of Hayo Miyazaki's beloved anime classic My Neighbor Totoro, and a discussion of urban life as a customizable, sustainable existence with Tim Durfee, Ben Hooker, Keiichi Matsuda, Jon Rafman and Sputniko! Basically, this design week is about how to face the future of a more populated globe.
Earthquake conference scares the heck out of us
Be afraid. Be very afraid. That was the theme at today's LA symposium, Imminent Danger: Earthquake Disaster and Risk Reduction in US Cities. The UCLA-hosted event brought together seismologists, engineers, architects, assessors and others to discuss preparation for the inevitable Big One, which, as everyone agreed, is not a question of if, but when. Despite the LA Times' questions about whether the conference's sponsors stood to gain from spreading earthquake fear, the insights to us seemed sincere and terrifying. We've compiled a few of the more sobering points, which should get you caring a little more about seismic retrofits and earthquake kits. Read More
Getting Ready For The Big One
It sounds like a summer blockbuster, but it's actually one of the most important symposia this year. Imminent Danger: Earthquake Disaster and Risk Reduction In U.S. Cities. It's being held on December 1 at UCLA, and features engineers, physicists, geologists, architects, and public officials getting together to discuss how to best prepare for the inevitable ground shaking disasters that will hit our cities in the near future. Thanks (unfortunately) to recent quakes in Haiti, Chile, and China, the group has a lot of new input to discuss. "Every time there's a large seismic event we learn more," said Gensler principal Rob Jernigan, who is one of the event participants. He adds that the conference is also a way for architects, engineers and other experts to come up with innovative earthquake-proof buildings that don't look like large bunkers: "We have to design for lateral movements without making giant, clumsy joints. We can develop a level of refinement," he said.
Broad Fatigue.. Or not?
Now that downtown LA has tossed its hat into the ring to compete for Eli Broad's new contemporary art museum, we've finally reached Broad saturation. Broad has gotten the cities of Santa Monica, Culver City, and Beverly Hills to also compete for the museum, assuring that he gets the sweetest of sweetheart deals. Meanwhile, he basically controls most of the major public architecture and art in the city. There's now the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, the Broad Contemporary Art Museum in Miracle Mile, the Broad Art Center at UCLA, as well as MOCA (bailed out and greatly influenced by Broad), the LA High School For the Performing Arts (largely funded by Broad), Disney Hall (pushed and funded by Broad), and the Grand Avenue Project (also largely supported by Broad). Phew. It's great to have a guiding hand and all, but GEEZ! Ok, we promise not to mention the name Broad again. Until at least tomorrow…
