Notes About Fuller's ESB
By William Brand
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006 at 9:26 am in Uncategorized.
My beer of the week today, Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2006 in the Oakland Tribune and other Bay Area newspapers was Fuller's ESB. As promised, here are some notes about that venerable, excellent beer, gathered from several sources. If you're really interested in Fuller's, my advice is to check out the link beside each excerpt. Salud. b.
From my old columns…
— Fuller's ESB. ***** Fuller's Extra Special Bitter or ESB fostered a style of beer and here in the U.S. most craft brewers offer an ESB in their range. The original is a dark, malty classic. It has a complex aroma, hints of caramel malt, English Goldings hops and an earthy note from the house yeast. The hops come on strong in the follow, along with a haunting, teasing yeast background.
At Fuller's brewery in Cheswick, on the edge of London, we tasted several "vintages" of Fuller's 1845, their bottle conditioned, strong ale. The best, I thought, was vintage 1999. It was the only vintage made with Fuggles hops and it has a huge, brandy nose. It deserves to be sampled only in a tulip-shaped brandy glass. There's still a lot of malt sweetness remaining, proving that this beer is still maturing. It's great stuff.
A place in history
Fuller's is owned entirely by the three founding families, the Fullers, the Turners and, I understand, a single Smith heir.
The three-family partnership was created in 1845 to operate a brewery that apparently was founded before 1660.
The brewery is still located on the same site in Cheswick, on the edge of London.
I care mostly about the beer, not the history, but to understand and appreciate the beer, it's important to understand the history.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, as beer companies began to merge and consolidate, famous, small brewers were dropping like flies.
At the same time the larger brewers decided non-pasteurized ale that matured in casks was cumbersome, non-stable and uneconomical. They rapidly switched to pasteurized keg beer and bottles. By the early 1970s, Fuller's and Young's were the only remaining cask beer brewers. Fuller's was in decline, sales had dropped to 70,000 barrels a year.
Then something remarkable happened. A group of journalists and English beer enthusiasts realized they were on the verge of losing a great tradition: cask ale. They started a revolution, or should I say a "devolution" that became the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
It saved Fuller's and Young's. "We went from 70,000 barrels and a decline to 200,000 barrels in a short time," brewery director Richard Turner says.
CAMRA did more than save a couple of breweries — the campaign preserved beers with interesting, unique tastes, concoctions using ancient yeasts and curious malt blends.
Unfortunately, aside from a couple of special festivals, Fuller's cask ale doesn't make it to America. But the bottled beers are excellent.
From the Oxford Bottled Beer database…
Fuller's ESB Export
ABV 5.9% _ Vol 500 ml _ bottle _ UK _ Expensive _ Flavour 7.5
This is the bottled version of Fuller's persistently award-winning cask beer, and is extremely good. The beer is slightly sweet-smelling (a hint of honeysuckle?), with hop flowers dominating a treacley, malty background. On the palate it is bitter-tasting, with a fine balance of lightly roast malt and heavy (but not overstewed) hops resulting in a rich but rounded flavour. It has a lingering honey and bitter malt aftertaste. Overall, the excellence of this beer can be credited to the combination of rich treacley malt character and just the right amounts of aroma and bittering hops (i.e. lots), culminating in a complex, very pleasant pint. Despite its strength, ESB works dangerously well as a session beer.
OBBD reviewer: Sparks
From the Beer Judge Certificate program:
ESB: Medium to high bitterness. Most have moderately low to moderately high fruity esters. Moderate to low hop flavor (earthy, resiny, and/or floral UK varieties typically, although US varieties may be used). Low to medium maltiness with a dry finish. Caramel flavors are common but not required. Balance is often decidedly bitter, although the bitterness should not completely overpower the malt flavor, esters and hop flavor. Generally no diacetyl, although very low levels are allowed.
Medium-light to medium body. Carbonation low, although bottled and canned commercial examples can have moderate carbonation.
Overall Impression:
A flavorful, yet refreshing, session beer. Some examples can be more malt balanced, but this should not override the overall bitter impression. Drinkability is a critical component of the style; emphasis is still on the bittering hop addition as opposed to the aggressive middle and late hopping seen in American ales.
Originally a draught ale served very fresh under no pressure (gravity or hand pump only) at cellar temperatures (i.e. "real ale"). Bitter was created as a draught alternative (i.e. running beer) to country-brewed pale ale around the start of the 20th century and became widespread once brewers understood how to "Burtonize" their water to successfully brew pale beers and to use crystal malts to add a fullness and roundness of palate.
Fuller's beers have a unique record. Since CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) first held their Champion Beer of Britain competition, Fuller's have won the Beer of the Year award five times. Our beers have been best in class no less than nine times and ESB has been voted Best Strong Ale an unprecedented seven times making it something of a legend. This is an outstanding achievement by Fuller's brewers, who, through the use of traditional ingredients, great care in the brewing process and stringent quality controls, continue to produce an unmatched range of prize-winning beers.
/s/ John Keeling, Brewing Director
Fuller, Smith and Turner plc
Also from Fuller's Website:
Tasting Notes_First brewed in 1971, ESB is unrivaled in flavor and balance. A robust 5.5% alcohol by volume in cask (5.9% alcohol by volume in bottles and kegs), it is brewed from Pale Ale and Crystal malts and from Target, Challenger, Northdown and Goldings hops.
Drew Jefford, the respected UK drinks critic, sums up ESB's flavor thus: "An ample, grainy-nutty aroma and a broad, authoritative flavor, with lashings of dry marmalade-like bitters". Renowned beer connoisseur Roger Protz describes "an enormous attack of rich malt, tangy fruit and spicy hops in the mouth, with a profound Goldings peppery note in the long finish and hints of orange, lemon and gooseberry fruit".
From beerwriter Stephen Beaumont..
Another surprise was furnished by the declaration that ESB, Pride and the standard Chiswick Bitter are all crafted from the same two worts, although combined in decidedly different ways. The way this works is that the brewer takes two runnings from the same bed of grain, the first yielding a more fermentable sugar-rich wort and the latter picking up whatever sugars remain in the grain. These worts are then differently hopped during the boil and combined in varying proportions to create the three ales. Aging times also contribute to the disparate characters of the beers, with Chiswick getting as little as a week, London Pride doubling that and ESB receiving a full month of conditioning. And finally, both ESB and Chiswick are dry-hopped in the fermenter and the cask, while Pride is not.
From Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter:
If any other ale so deftly balances the sweetness of the barley malt, the dryness of the hop and fruitiness of the yeast, I have yet to find it.
It is the particular procedure in the last stage, the drying, that defines a malt's taste. The principal malt in most English bitter is slowly "cured" to create a biscuity character. But Fuller's is one of the breweries that also uses malt "stewed" to a sweeter, crystalline, nutty flavour.
Fuller's-hops come from Kent, Worcester and Hereford, and the water it uses is fairly low in bicarbonates and higher in chlorides, making for a fuller flavour. The yeast the brewery has used for at least 50 years seems to impart a honey-flower character.

Patent auctions: Lawyer's dream or way of the future?

Tech giants edgy over Web services patent saleNovember 24, 2004
The next morning, the same people will gather for a patent auction that could lead to some really nasty lawsuits.
Chicago-based Ocean Tomo, a patent consulting firm that includes Ross Perot as an investor, will put on the auction block approximately 400 patents applicable to semiconductors, RFID (radio frequency identification), wireless communications, automotive technology, food, energy and the Internet. The patents will be grouped in 68 blocks ranging in estimated value from $100,000 to more than $5 million.
The offerings include patents for Motorola bar code technologies and biochip technology, which is commonly used in the medical field. They'll also be offering patents for a Clorox bleach activator and a Ford four-wheel steering system.
A 310-page glossy catalog lists complete summaries of the patents.
Patent auctions are the kind of thing that fuel the current anxiety over intellectual property. Companies large and small say they are fending off an increasing number of demands for royalty payments. They are also fending off lawsuits, like the one that threatens to shut down the BlackBerry network.
Some fear that intellectual property companies such as Acacia Research and Intellectual Ventures, which has amassed more than 3,000 third-party patents, will build portfolios just to extract settlements from others.
The Ocean Tomo patent consulting firm plans to hold auctions twice a year.
CEO Jim Malackowsky said the critics' fears are both exaggerated and misplaced. Intellectual property--embodied in patents, copyrights and trademarks--has become an indispensable asset to most companies.
The problem, he said, is that we haven't evolved mechanisms--other than expensive lawsuits and tortured licensing negotiations--for making money off of it.
"IP is the largest asset class today and it is the most inefficient," he said. "It is illiquid and it is challenging to value."
This is where Ocean Tomo comes in. Like other patent consultants, the company conducts intellectual property inventories and consults on transactions. But the company also claims it has devised a more comprehensive way to put a dollar figure on a patent. AT&T has hired the company to help it sell the intellectual property behind Internet pioneer Prodigy. (In 2004, Ocean Tomo auctioned off 39 patents from CommerceOne for $15.5 million.)
The firm has come up with more than 50 metrics--including the number of citations in other patents, the area of technology and the number of claims--to attempt to give intellectual property owners and potential licensees a more accurate value on the patent.
Malackowsky likens Ocean Tomo's work to the work conducted by the early merchant banks such as Morgan Grenfell. These banks started out as merchants and morphed into financiers, issuing credit and guaranteeing payments for fellow traders.
"Everything that they are doing today is what they did for their own assets 150 years ago," he said.
The analogy might be somewhat stretched. Unlike commodities, such as wheat or iron, the quality and value of patents differ drastically. Nonetheless, a more efficient marketplace for intellectual property could dovetail with the strategies of companies like IBM, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and other giants. These companies are mining their portfolios for royalties. IBM gains about $1 billion a year in IP licensing while HP has seen royalty revenue nearly quadruple in the past few years.
Ocean Tomo, Malackowsky added, doesn't shop in the bargain bin. The firm examined more than 1,200 patents and selected what it believed were the most marketable for the auction. The firm also invests in start-ups with intellectual property it finds interesting. The investments are in the form of loans: If the firm goes under, Ocean Tomo reclaims the patents under a mortgage.
"This is not a liquidation where people are selling as a last resort," he said. The gala dinner is a way of "giving (the patents) the dignity they deserve."
Still, the number of patents going on the block is quite large, which means bidders may not have an accurate picture of what they are bidding on.
"If there are some gems in there, it would be tough to find them and expensive to evaluate them," said Lee Van Pelt, a partner at the Silicon Valley intellectual-property law firm Van Pelt and Yi. "This sort of event appeals to potential plaintiffs. It also appeals to companies that want to take things off the market."
Like other patent consultants, Malackowsky bristles at the notion that his company is a so-called patent troll--an organization that seeks to exploit the loopholes in intellectual property for gain. Contrary to public perception, most intellectual-property lawsuits tend to be grounded in legitimate disputes, he asserted. The financial risks are also high for the plaintiffs.
"Everyone is always in angst about patent trolls, but (try to) name 10 of them," he said. "There are some junk patents and lawsuits, but by the time a patent gets through the patent office, gets through the pretrial phase, gets through the Markman hearing (to determine the scope of a patent), the trial and the appeal process, it is a pretty good patent."

- It is possible to assess potential pitfalls & challenges
- I have found that some of the fundamentals in
Game Theory can be utilized to establish the
ground for exchanging IP. The complexity can be
visualized in 3-Dimensional scenario and the
transfer of IP can be assessed from many degrees.
IPs are powerful. They are a manifestation of
knowledge and know-how. But they come with time
value (mostly). It is here that most legal
entities found suitable playing ground.
The days are going to change. In addition to
legal angle, an IP provider can come up with
very clear indications/implications of some
of the potential roadblocks his/her IP may
face. An aspect that legal guys may not be fully
able to satisfy which has lead to complications
in the past.
Here is where Game Theory comes-in handy. It is
possible to put an IP into a Game Theory based
tool-box and analyze its scope with friends and
IP Transfer by any means requires a lot of
clarity. Every IP can be pre-assessed and be in
a pro-active state to face challenge from
multiple angles rather than submit to long
lasting law-suits.
The larger the market scope, it is better to
equip with pro-active barriers and be prepared.
Looks like the time has come to look at IPs from
'non-lawsuit' and more productive angle. I am
sure, in future, IPs will be released with full
knowledge of repercussions, be it legal,
political, economic, market oriented,
geographical, etc.

- This has been happening since the beginning
- Patents have always been bought and sold. They're a form of property. Inventors commonly don't have the resources to go after people ripping them off, so they sell their work to someone with deeper pockets.
To see a real "troll" look up what the Lemelson Foundation spent most of the 20th century doing. That was trolling at its best. Did they stop all invention? Better yet, did anyone hear about them before this time?

- Auction is a good venue
- "The next morning, the same people will gather for a patent auction that could lead to some really nasty lawsuits in the future."
Patents are property! They only lead to nasty lawsuits when they have real value and when some well heeled large corporate patent pirate tries to pillage the owner's property and guns down an owner who dares to object..
Some corporations have a policy of examining the assets of a patent holder and then dividing the patent holders into two groups.
The first group has great enough assets that the patent pirate decided it would be unwise to tangle with that owner and they negotiate a license and all parties move on to mutual profit.
The second group are individuals or small companies whose apparent assets imply that they are easy marks and the patent pirate does not negotiate. They ignore those patent holders based on two factors. One, the patent holder may never discover the theft of their property. And two, if they do discover such theft the big company figures they can simply gun the owners down and take their property.
You may ask how is this accomplished?
Well sometimes the patent pirate acts like they are interested in a license. They get the inventor to visit them on the inventor's dime and they will draw the negotiations out for a lengthy interval in hopes that the patent owner will get frustrated and eventually give up. The other tack is to use the inventor's presence as a cause for bringing a lawsuit in the patent pirate's jurisdiction. Usually such lawsuits take the form of a declaratory judgment action and these typically cost the patent owner something between $100,000 and $300,000. Most individual inventors or small businesses cannot afford this kind of money and if the patent owner ends up bankrupt the patent pirate is home free.
If the patent owner survives the only possible response is to file an infringement lawsuit. This is usually followed by a ta-ta over venue. At this stage the stakes are often approaching $500,000. An infringement lawsuit taken to completion runs at least $2,000,000 and may go up to tens of millions.
Now that you understand the process I want to discuss how the patent auction will benefit everyone. For the small business patent holder it creates an efficient way to market the intellectual property in a way which gets the best price and avoids the problem of a patent pirate bleeding the patent owner with abusive litigation. The reason is simple, that the competition is between well heeled players and not between the patent holder and ONE well heeled company.
Marketing a patent is fraught with pitfalls because there are many treacherous players. It is much like the wild west, where some gun slinging arrogant patent pirate would just as soon destroy the small business as not. Moving marketing of a patent from the back alley to a very public forum greatly lowers the chances that the patent owner will get shot in the back.

- Protection and Parasites
- "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution makes clear that the sole purpose for granting patents and copyrights is to encourage creative invention, which would suffer if such works were completely unprotected. In other words, the justification is utilitarian. The current situation could not be further diverged from the vision of the Founders. What is being protected is not the incentive for individuals to create, but the interests of the parasites (lawyers, mercantilists, et al) that infest the bowels of the inventive, for the purpose of free feeding on their efforts, and with the final result of sucking the life out them.
The following comment on this clause by St. George Tucker, in Blackstone's Commentaries 1:App. 265--67, was intended as a criticism of its prospective use as a justification for government-granted monopolies, but it applies just as well to the defacto monopolies created by the USPTO and the Federal courts:
"Nothing could be more superfluous, or incompatible, with the object contended for"
Since the basis of Constitutional protection of intellectual property is clearly utilitarian, and since the stated purpose of that protection has equally clearly been turned on its head, I propose that it should be eliminated by means of amending the Constitution. While that would cause come grief, it would prevent a great deal more.
Whatever did become of the "Kill All Lawyers Party", anyway?

- Patent Study
- I did a study of patents in the fields in which I am expert. Out of 100 patents studied none of them should have been granted in my opinion.
Most of the patents were obvious to someone with experience in the field. To someone with no experience they would have appeared valid. For example an patent on the of ergonomics in an industrial machine. Since ergonomics have used heavily in the design of furniture and automobiles their use for another type of machine is obvious.
The remainder were trivial, for example the patent on locating a grease nipple on the underside of the part being greased so that water couldn't enter the fitting (this could also be considered obvious).
The question to be asked is are there any valid patents? I'm coming to the conclusion that there aren't, and that the patent process is so fundamentily flawed that a moratorium on the issue of new patents until a complete and proper overhaul of the system is completed is in order.
Note that the patent attornies that I've talked to disagree with me on this - however none of them are competent to judge the patents that they are filing.

- did you read the claims?
- Wayne,
Did you read just the DISCLOSURE or the actual claims?
It seems like A LOT of work - usually patents will have between 15 and 50 claims (about 25 on average) - so you read 2,500 claims - I'm impressed.
Please note that claims can not be SCANNED but must be read carefully (like any legal document, such as a contract) to get the proper meaning. So that amount of time to read 2,500 claims carefully is ENORMOUS.
Also, they need to be non-obvious as of the FILING DATE !! So, something that was non-obvious in 1995 could be obvious today, and this would NOT invalidate the patent.
In many cases the claims are MUCH MORE narrow than the disclosure. Often, 90% of the disclosure is obvious (i.e. enough information for how to implement the invention, which, by definition includes material known in the art) and the claims recites the 10% that is NOT obviuos.
ANOTHER QUESTION - are you trained in parsing patent claims to determine novelty and obviousness? I understand that you are trained TECHNICALLY, but this is only part of the story.
ANOTHER QUESTION - I did a search in the USPTO web site. It appears that you are NOT a listed inventor on any patent or patnet applicaiton, and you are not listed as a patent agent or patent attorney.
go invent something or study patent laws - then you can maybe write something EDUCATED on this site !!!
Have a nice day.

- My grandfather invented the six-pack, and was
awarded a patent in 1945. The corporations sent
him one or two royalty checks, and then decided
that paying lawyers was cheaper than paying him.
Nobody in my family has patented anything since
then. We figure its a waste of time.
While patent trolls are not the most ethical people,
and while most patents issued fail the obviousness
test, I suspect that patent auctions are the best
thing to happen for the independant inventor since
the patent reforms of 1980. The simple reality is
that a patent is of no value unless you have the
money to litigate it. By providing a specialist
firm to take over that part of the patent process,
you improve the overall efficiency of the system.
Finally, these guys are an effective threat in
royalty negotiations: "If you don't make us a
reasonable offer, I'll sell this patent to those
trolls over there, and you can deal with them."

Are "new evangelicals" a new phenomenon or a reversion to type?
In her piece, Marcia Pally continues her most commendable attempt to describe the diversity of evangelical political opinion in the United States, and to provide a more nuanced account even of the evangelical right. As she suggests, the core of all evangelical political outlooks tends to be a belief in the importance of individual virtuous action and collaboration. This by no means betokens an entirely uncritical embrace of neoliberalism; the alliance with the latter has probably been forged by a horror at the (historically novel) libertarian cultural mores of the contemporary left. In actual practice much evangelical social action is more concerned with the common good than is the general run of more recent GOP attitudes, and it is, I think, partially a reflection on the political implications of this that has, as Pally notes, led many younger evangelicals to move leftwards.Read the rest of Are "new evangelicals" a new phenomenon or a reversion to type?.

Part of agreement between Apple and HTC to become public
A judge in California has ruled that major details surrounding the Apple-HTC settlement will be publicly available. The pricing and royalty rates will remain confidential, but the patents that were part of the settlement will be open to the public. Previously, Samsung's lawyers were given access to the list of patents in this settlement as part of their preparations for a hearing that will determine the final details of Apple's legal victory over Samsung in August. Apple had sought to keep the list of patents confidential, but Judge Lucy Koh saw no compelling reason to keep these details from the public. CNET reports:
In an ruling tonight, U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh said that while details of pricing and royalty rates for patents from both companies should be kept under wraps from public view, the same does not hold true for the rest of the agreement.
Some of the patents in question include methods and behaviors of scrolling and zooming, which Apple may license, while others are so-called "untouchables", unique user experience patents, which Apple rarely shares with other companies. Samsung may hope that if Apple did indeed reach an agreement with HTC on these untouchable patents in particular, that they can avoid an injunction. Apple and Samsung's hearing is scheduled for this Thursday, December 6.

Part of agreement between Apple and HTC to become public
IANAL, but summary as to why this would avoid an injunction:
Injunctions are typically granted when one company can demonstrate irreparable harm if another company is allowed to continue while the legal process drags on. It is a high bar, because it can cripple the operations of an innocent defendant. If Apple has licensed patents relevant to the Samsung case, it becomes almost impossible for them to argue irreparable harm, because Apple would have set a price on their use. Apple is under no obligation to license those patents to Samsung at this or any other price, but the fact that Apple identified concrete values with somebody should persuade Judge Koh to order some sort of escrow or bond holding based on these values, rather than an injunction on Samsung products.
That is, if the HTC patents are the same as the Samsung patents. If not, it would have little or no relevance on Judge Koh's decisions.

With the current professional football lockout creating confusion for everyone involved, the Southeastern Conference position remains very clear – don't look our way.
If the National Football League can't resolve its labor issues, all signs point to the highly-acclaimed league, which markets itself as the most dominant conference in all of Division 1 college football, not being interested at all in filing potential television time slots left open on Sundays.
"I've been around this conference for a long time and I would be shocked if that ever happened," Larry Templeton, SEC consultant for television matters, said.
Templeton, who was the director of athletics at Mississippi State from 1987-2007, said the feeling he gets inside the conference office in Birmingham, Ala., is despite the perceived increase in exposure and obvious financial benefits to making such a similar move for other conferences, there's still two days in the weekly calendar that considered sacred: Fridays and Sundays.
"I just don't believe the Southeastern Conference would consider a proposal that touches playing college football on either of those two days," Templeton said. "This conference has always maintained that in this part of the country Friday nights belongs to high school football and what Sunday represents for people goes without saying."
In the summer of 2008, the SEC has signed a 15-year deal with ESPN reportedly worth more than $2 billion to televise sporting events, including football and men's and women's basketball.
SEC officials confirmed to the Starkville Daily News that any network, whether it's ESPN or the past contract the league has with CBS for its spotlight game of the week, asking conference football games to be played on a Sunday would be a violation of the agreed upon contract and would have to be approved by a majority of school presidents and athletic directors.
"It's important people understand the contract only specifies the league must play two Thursday night games per year and the rest of the games are specifically to be played at some time of the day on Saturday," Templeton said.
SEC commissioner Mike Slive has publicly said the league would not actively look for prime television spots for college football on any days other than Saturday and the recently successful Thursday evening time slot.
"No, we haven't talked about it," Slive told the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register in April. "We've got a lot of tradition. It's the hallmark of this league. We play on Saturday for the most part. Whether or not we would adjust, no one has said a word to me about that and certainly we're not going to take the initiative."
When asked about the issue, Mississippi State athletics director Scott Stricklin agreed with Slive in not seeing a benefit for the league and specifically his school diverting from tradition and also attempting to play a televised noon conference game on Sunday in such a religiously-based part of the country.
"There would be a real compelling reason with some benefit that I'm certainly not aware of right now to do something like that," Stricklin said. "I don't know if just filling the gap that's being vacated by pro football is a just reason in of itself to do that."
ESPN officials continue to maintain a position that the network believes the NFL will eventually work out its labor negotiations and form a collective bargaining agreement before any games on the schedule are impacted.
"We are optimistic that everything will get resolved," ESPN spokesperson Keri Potts said. "We are evaluating a number of alternate programming scenarios to minimize the impact of potential lost games."
At least one other power conference sounds willing to discuss at least the potential of participating in Sunday college football games this fall if given the opportunity – the Pac 12.
ESPN and the newly-formed Pac-12 Conference reached a 12-year agreement earlier this month for extensive conference action across multiple ESPN platforms beginning with the 2012-13 season and continuing through 2024-25.
"Understand you have apples and oranges here and you can't compare this deal with the one (the SEC) signed last year just because it's the same broadcast network," Templeton said. "In many ways, they are vastly different."
The deal will deliver more than 80 Pac-12 events each year, highlighted by more football games than the previous agreement, including new Saturday night 9:30 p.m. telecasts along with the Pac-12 Football Championship Game every other year.
The formation of this new contract has Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott investigating the possibility of his league being open to filling the spot in place of the NFL if there's an extended work stoppage.
"We certainly are monitoring the situation," Scott told Rivals.com. "We have no plans in place at this time, but you want to be prepared and consider all options. Still, these labor situations have a way of getting done the closer they get to a critical situation."
The NFL has not had a labor strike that affected regular season games since 1987 when league officials used replacement players for a month-long stretch of the season but that scenario, which failed to grab acceptable attendance and television ratings 24 years ago, seems like a less viable option in 2011.
One of the biggest open minds to the Pac-12 playing football on Sundays is an individual that State fans are extremely familiar with in University of Arizona athletics director Greg Byrne. Byrne, who was the AD at MSU from 2008-10, compared it to playing games on Thursday night – something certain schools in the SEC have warmly embraced.
"Thursday night football hasn't been around forever, and we adjusted to that," Byrne said. "Sunday is a day a lot of people watch football. You would get good exposure but Sunday games would be something we would have to think long and hard about before we jumped into."
The SEC and most specifically Mississippi State have been more than open to help fill one of the required Thursday night slots nearly every season with the Bulldogs having played 43 contests on that day of the week, including a six-year stretch when the Egg Bowl rivalry game against Ole Miss was broadcasted on ESPN every Thanksgiving evening from 1998-2003.
"We adjust to (the schedule) and we'll always play a Thursday night game because I think it's really neat being in the game of football having everybody in the profession watching your game." Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen said.
The argument could be made that MSU has been forced to carry the burden on the Thursday night requirement while other SEC schools have been less interested in participating in putting a single game of their 13-game season in the middle of the week.
"I think it's safe to say certain schools in the league initially had no desire to play on Thursday and immediately other schools in the league, like Mississippi State, understood the value of the exposure element," Templeton said. "Because of that, I believe more schools in the league would be more willing for the opportunity."
While not being interested in filling the Sunday void, those in the college football circles monitoring the situation in professional football from afar are still convinced both identities will have its games played on both days of the weekend.
"I hope they get it all sorted out so the guys that leave these college programs don't have to stop playing for at least a year," Mullen said. "That wouldn't benefit anybody in the game of football."

Economic capital is the estimated amount of money that a firm must have available to cover ongoing operations, deal with worst-case outcomes, and survive. While many of the concepts of integrated or enterprise risk management can also be applied to DHS (particularly governance, process, and culture), there is currently no single measure of risk analogous to economic capital that is appropriate for DHS use. Thus, DHS must use comparative risk management—specifically multiple metrics to understand and evaluate risks. It is worth noting that most nonfinancial services firms implementing ERM adopt the philosophical concepts but have several metrics for comparative risk across operations. For example, nonfinancial services firms evaluate risks using comparative metrics such as time to recover operations, service-level impact over time, potential economic loss of product or service, number of additional temporary staffing (reallocated resources) to restore operations to normal levels, and other factors. These metrics are much more in line with DHS's needs to focus on response and recovery.
Comparative analysis works because the conceptual breakdown of risk into threat, vulnerability, and consequence can be applied to any risk. Rather than seeking an optimal balance of investments—and certainly rather than trying to do so through one complex quantitative model—DHS should instead use analytical methods to identify options that are adequate to various stakeholders and then choose among them based on the best judgment of leadership. It seems feasible for DHS to consider a broad collection of hazards, sketch out mitigation options, examine co-benefits, and develop a set of actions to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience. A good collection of risk experts could help execute a plan like that.

TEACHERS from four counties have opposed recommendations by a task force to have head teachers work on a three-year contract.
Addressing the press at Kisii branch Knut offices,executive secretaries from 14 branches in four counties said they will oppose the recommendations to have head teachers sign contracts.
In a joint statement read by assistant national treasurer Richard Kibagendi the secretaries from Kisii, Nyamira, Homa Bay and Migori counties said the proposals by the task force are unrealistic. The task force proposed that head teachers should set goals against which their performance will be measured.
It also proposed that the ministry set minimum qualifications for head teachers based on skills, competencies, basic training in financial management and strategic leadership. "We are not going toaccept the proposals by the task force to have head teachers work on a renewable contract basis. The move is uncalled for and we will resist it," Kibagendi said.
Geofrey Mogire, Mary Owino,Harrison Gichira and Charles Ketege who are the union's NEC members from Nyanza vowed they will not allow their members to be intimidated by the recommendations. Mogire said offering quality education is necessary but they will oppose any move to have teachers work on contract saying they were not consulted over the recommendations.

Barcelona secured a much-needed 3-1 win over Sporting Gijon on a night they struggled for a cutting edge without Lionel Messi.
With the Argentinian playmaker suspended, Pep Guardiola's side had to rely on late goals from Seydou Keita and Xavi to secure a win that moved them seven points behind leaders Real Madrid.
Barça looked in real danger of dropping more points when David Barral's 49th-minute equaliser came moments after Gerard Pique saw red. The champions had been frustrated before Andres Iniesta opened the scoring just before half-time and their ineffectiveness in front of goal looked like it would cost them until Keita curled in a wonderful goal with 11 minutes left. Xavi added a third late on as Barça extended their unbeaten run at the Nou Camp to 49 games.
Without Messi, Barcelona looked short on ideas in front of goal in the first half as Sporting, marooned in the drop zone, understandably got bodies behind the ball. Keita and Pedro had the best chances blocked and Barça's frustrations began to surface, highlighted by Javier Mascherano trying his luck from range only to slice his effort horribly off target.
But just as Sporting looked like they would get to the break unscathed, the hosts broke through with a typical move on 42 minutes. A zig-zag of passes down the left flank culminated in Keita freeing Adriano, who pulled the ball back from the byline for Iniesta to tap-in unopposed. Remarkably it was the Spanish international's first league goal of the campaign.
If Barça thought they were set fair for victory they were forced to reassess less than a minute after the break when Pique saw red before Sporting sensationally equalised. Pique was the last man when he tangled with Miguel De las Cuevas on the edge of the area to leave the hosts with ten men.
It got worse for Guardiola's side moments later when Formose Mendy jinked into space down the byline before delivering a low pass that Barral deflected in after nipping in front of Victor Valdes at the near post. Barcelona's response was again to dominate possession without showing their usual thrust.
Alexis Sanchez took an extra touch after Iniesta set him up in the area, dribbling his shot wide, while Cristian Tello had a shot deflected just over. Pedro Orfila fired wide from the edge of the area to keep Barça's nerves on edge before Keita fired them back ahead with a brilliant finish on 79 minutes.
The Malian international picked his spot with a curling finish from the edge of the area to finally break Sporting's resistence. Xavi added a third on 88 minutes with a clever lobbed finish after being sent through one-on-one by Iniesta, but it disguised a stuttering display from the champions.

Three suspects have been jailed on drug charges following a raid last week on an upscale Galveston home that netted $60,000 in illegal drugs, investigators said.
Michelle Rodriguez, 34, Victor Provost, 37, and Alfonso Quintanilla, 42, are each charged with felony manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, according to Galveston police. A judge set a $600,000 bail for Rodriguez, a $400,000 bail for Provost, and a $500,000 bail for Quintanilla.
Undercover officers conducted a buy bust that led to the execution of a search warrant Thursday at 18 Colony Park Circle. There, undercover officers seized 9 ounces of cocaine, 3.4 grams of methamphetamine and 129 grams of ecstasy, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators also seized $10,930 in cash from the residence. The illicit drugs have an estimated street value $60,000, police said.
The investigation was part of a multi-agency operation that included the FBI and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Today you'll see a great example of what a woman did with a small piece of land without any "architectural" help: 2 rooms, kitchen, 3 bedrooms with washrooms and a veranda! This narrow house belongs to the lady in yellow – Helenita Queiroz Grave Minho , designed by her. She live in this 1 meter wide by 10 meter tall house in Madre de Deus, Brazil. At first, the municipality refused, but in the end with the plan allowed the construction, that became a touristic spot of the small town of 12 thousand people. I think that this project is a very unique idea and something like this could be designed in big cities where the space is really a problem, but to live daily in a house like this would be exhausting. – Via – Ahboon

That kitchen is not 1 meter wide, just look at it. I don't believe the dimensions that this article states.
1 meter ~ 3 feet… the fridge alone is more than 1 foot deep and you could easily fit more than 3 fridges in that kitchen. Heck, she could easily lay down in that "1 meter wide kitchen" and I doubt she is shorter than 1 meter.
I'm calling BS on this.
That's an amazing house! Given some of the space problems we're seeing in big cities I can see similar solutions being used. I would need some larger space such as a yard, or a lot of windows, but that would be the claustrophobia I inherited from my grandmother.
The name is "Helenita Queiroz Grave Minho", not "Record Minho"
That kitchen isn't a meter wide. The house is probably wedge shaped since the door might be about a meter. The house wouldn't really solve any space issues except that it can fit in a thinner piece of land. The house must be extremely long to make for any kind of acceptable living space. placing 4 of those side by side would be the vertical equivalent of a similar sized wide building having a horizontal apartment on every level.
[…] Narrowest House in The World just 1 Meter Wide Published November 6th, 2007 in Architecture […]
Looking at the photo in the top-left corner, I could well believe the house is wider at the back than the front. Still, it doesn't detract from it being a remarkable, if somewhat slightly hairball-schemed, building!
That building is wedge shaped, it even shows in the pc room, getting bigger as it gets longer.
Very interesting, but I'd never want to live there. It does appear that the house is wedge-shaped. The floor tile in the living room clearly shows that the walls are not parallel.
Murple……..What are you on about?!
"Given some of the space problems we're seeing in big cities I can see similar solutions being used"
ok, so your saying we should build loads of houses like these or terraced versions. Thats a bloody stupid idea! This is just going to piss ppl off. No one in their right mind would want to live in a house like that, unless it was for the novelty factor which would wear off after one day.
and when you say "I would need some larger space such as a yard, or a lot of windows" where do you plan on putting these windows, with this great space saving idea of terraced houses?
Oh and if you actually had claustrophobia there is no way you would ever consider that to be an amazing house.
End of rant!
P.S. I'd say its nearly 3 meters wide in that kitchen.

It's a Doctor Who house, bigger on the inside than on the outside.
Hi, I am from Brazil and this is true.
The photos are from a brazilian newspaper:
The kitchen is larger than 1m wide. This is because the front of the house is 1 m wide and the back is larger.

Wow. Althought the space is not perfect, this house shows incredible creativity, and injenuity, definately an out of the box idea.
Building this prooves that one can utilize land spaces previously thought un-usuable by most, for housing and for other purposes. It also prooves that people actually want to live and/or work in these types of places. I could see this concept being used to make ultra small footprint offices and such.
Sure the hose may be a wedge and perhaps as large a 3m wide on the back end, so what… I still say wow! Nice utilization of the space.
She has gone where no man has gone before… in terms of archetecture anyway.
Good job to the builder, and congratulations to the owner and designer of this new and beautiful house.

yeah, sorry to be a nay sayer but that kitchen is much more than a meter wide
quite creative, interesting concept of being able to touch both opposing walls at the same time, I personally don't feel comfortable in such a narrow space or even 39″ hallway needs windows or at least a mural
What the skeptics don't realise is that she is a very small woman. The house is, indeed, 1 metre wide.

Back when i was a homeless rodeo clown I lived in a house like this but not anymore. Now I am a world class magician !
The house may be 1 meter (39.3 inches) at the front, but is
approximately 7ft wide in the kitchen. Look at the floor tiles.
The tiles are approx 1 ft (30 cm) in size. The floor is
7 tiles wide, which comes to 7ft. The "1 meter" claim is a fraud!

Touchpoint alignment
Your brand lives in any and all of your products, services, communications and interactions; it is the sum of all your touchpoints. We audit and assess your touchpoints to ensure clear, cohesive and consistent customer experiences that reflect your strategic foundation.

By evaluating your touchpoints through the lens of your strategic brand platform, we can recommend changes that will make your every communication and interaction a brand ambassador.
Plain language writing and effective brand communication
Clarity builds trust, and trust builds loyalty. We help you make the complex clear with simplified, customer-focused language.

Upcoming IACA Conferences
International Conference
Eighth International Conference, Washington DC, USA
Sunday, July 9 to Thursday, July 13, 2017
The next international conference will be in conjunction with the National Association for Court Management and will be held at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City. Additional information will be published as it becomes available.
" The networking opportunities at these events are phenomenal. I can only imagine how beneficial and uplifting it is to hear from one's colleagues from around the world. Most of the time court managers are so busy working through THEIR issues, events such as IACA remind them they are not alone." - Brian Green, JAVS
Regional Conferences
IACA also conducts occasional regional conferences. Recent regional conferences were conducted in Trinidad and Tobago, co-sponsored by the Caribbean Court of Justice in 2010, Bogor, Indonesia co-sponsored by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia in 2011, and Buenos Aires, Argentina co-sponsored by the Buenos Aires Attorney General's Office.
Several regional locations are currently under consideration for conferences prior to the 2017 international conference.

Evangelical Christians Emphasise Opposition to Religious Hatred Bill
The Incitement of Religious Hatred Bill has been outlined again in the Queen's Speech this week, and although the government claims that the revised bill will not affect 'criticism, commentary or ridicule of faiths', religious groups and Christian organisations have spoken out very openly against the bill. They have emphasised that it could lead towards restrictions on freedom of speech.
"The announcement of the Government's intention to re-introduce this controversial legislation that was successfully opposed during the last Parliament is no surprise, given Labour's manifesto commitment and election pact with the Muslim Council of Britain," expressed Dr. Don Horrocks, Head of Public Affairs for the Evangelical Alliance.
Similar proposals appeared prior to the election, and ministers as well as the government expressed that under the current rules for offences of incitement to racial hatred in the Public Order Act 1986, members of some religions are protected against religious hatred, but some are still not. They defended proposals saying that "the offence would not be an assault on people's rights to simply disapprove of the beliefs, teachings or practices of a religion."
According to the Government, the offence applies to "members of extremist organisations who stir up hatred against members of minority faiths and to individuals who seek to stir up hatred against those who do not share their faith."
However, with the penalties imposed being up to seven years in jail for those deemed to incite religious hatred, there is concern that this legislation could serve to even criminalise certain preachers.
"Despite its noble intention, we still consider that this legislation, unless significantly altered, is likely to undermine freedom of speech, damage community relations and usher in a new climate of illiberalism and repression," added Dr. Horrocks
"Whilst we are opposed to hatred being whipped up against any section of the community, we believe there are sufficient laws already in place through the criminal law to ensure that such behaviour can be dealt with. The Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill will in fact and in law, curb freedom of speech about which every Christian should care passionately," protested Andrea Minichiello Williams, the Public Policy Officer for the Lawyer's Christian Fellowship.
"Every member and minister of the Church of England should fight for this great freedom. With the proposed new offence we will see a chilling effect on how people talk about their faith in the public square and our opportunities to share the Gospel will suffer," emphasised Mrs. Minichiello Williams.

The Sandy Glacier Ice Caves on Mt. Hood are among the 1,000+ adventures detailed by Outdoor Project. Click through the gallery for a look at other Oregon destinations profiled on the site. Eric Guth
The UpTake: Jared Kennedy said he and his co-founders at Outdoor Project built their startup because there was no place they could go to find the information they wanted for outdoor adventures. They've since built a site with 1,000 adventures on it.
The company intends to use the crowdfunding back its adventure coverage.
"We need to seed an area with contributors who can do enough for a footprint, and that gets more people involved," Kennedy said. "We'll use that to put contributors on assignment for the major U.S. (and) West outdoor markets."
These include Southern California, Utah and Colorado, Kennedy added. Right now, the majority of available adventures take place in the Pacific Northwest.

Anemone nemorosa is an early-spring flowering plant in the genus Anemone in the family Ranunculaceae. Common names include (European*) wood anemone, windflower, (European*) thimbleweed and smell fox, an allusion to the musky smell of the leaves. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, growing in early spring from 5 to 15 cm tall.
(*American wood anemone is Anemone quinquefolia, a different species in the same genus. American thimbleweed, Rudbeckia laciniata, is an entirely unrelated plant.)
The flower is 2 cm diameter, with six or seven petal-like segments (actually tepals) with many stamens. In the wild the flowers are usually white, but may be pinkish, lilac or blue, and often have a darker tint to the back of the 'petals'. The flowers lack both fragrance and nectar and it has been suggested by some authors that they are primarily self-pollinated, but it has also been demonstrated that they are pollinated by bees and other insects that visit the flowers to collect pollen (Shirreffs 1985).
Yellow wood anemone, Anemone ranunculoides, also known as the buttercup anemone, is a similar plant with slightly smaller flowers of rich yellow colouring.
The RHS Plant Finder 2008–2009 lists 70 cultivars of Anemone nemorosa (AGM H4) available from nurseries in the UK. Some of those most widely available are:
Anemone × lipsiensis, a hybrid between A. nemorosa and A. ranunculoides, has pale yellow flowers; A. × lipsiensis 'Pallida' is the best-known result of this cross. It has been awarded the AGM H4, like both of its parents.

Band clamp strap holders
I got tired of finding my band clamps all balled up in a drawer, so I devised these ultra-simple holders to keep them in order. Using a parting tool, I turned 1/8x1/8" grooves in a 2"-long 3/4" dowel, where shown in the drawing, below. Next, I cut a 1/2" dowel to 1-1/8" long, bored a 3/16" hole through its center, and threaded a rubber band through the hole.
To store my clamps, I wrap the loose end of the strap around the 3/4" dowel "core," and then secure it with the rubber band and small dowel. When I need to use the clamps, I just unroll as much as I need. If you ever use those ratcheting tie-down straps for your truck or trailer, you can use the same method, but you may need to lengthen the "core" dowel to suit wider straps.
—Marc Phillips, Warner Robins, Ga.

Coca-Cola's unique distribution system has made The Coca- Cola Company the world's premier soft drink enterprise. In South Africa, it has proved to be an extraordinary success.
The Area Market Contractor Programme
This dynamic enterprise initiative was developed by PenBev to provide entrepreneurial assistance to traders in previously disadvantaged areas.
The unique AMC programme focuses on existing small business owners, helping them to enhance their profitability and competitiveness by extending their business to act as a strategic supply depot for other smaller businesses.
We appointed twenty-two dedicated Area Marketing Contractors. We assisted them by providing infrastructure support, equipment, training and start-up loans. Additional support is provided on an ongoing basis by permanent staff that are in regular contract with the Area Marketing Contractors.
These Area Marketing Controllers fulfil a vital role in assisting other smaller businesses in their operational area, by providing a merchandising and distribution service for the products of the company. They also assist smaller businesses by providing spaza start-up kits and equipment to potential traders.
Owner Driver Programme
We began this entrepreneurial development exercise in the early 1980's and it ha been a resounding success.
The programme gives previously disadvantaged individuals the opportunity to start their own delivery business, using a solid support infrastructure from PenBev, and has enabled many of our own employees to become independent business owners.
Candidates undergo a comprehensive learnership programme, with on-the-job training, coaching and mentorship. We then provide start-up capital to enable them to purchase a vehicle and for ongoing business support. Today, owner-drivers distribute more than 70% of PenBevs' products and many are highly successful businessmen.
