Reforming patents, promoting innovation
Many of our nation's founding fathers (most notably Ben Franklin) were inventors, and from America's earliest days we've been a country that has promoted innovation. To protect and promote invention, those same founding fathers gave Congress the power (in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution) "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." Inventors have relied on the patent system to protect those rights (check out Google Patent Search to see for yourself).
Unfortunately, the patent system has not kept pace with the changes in the innovation economy. Google and other technology companies increasingly face mounting legal costs to defend against frivolous patent claims from parties gaming the system to forestall competition or reap windfall profits. The National Academy of Sciences has said the current patent system shows "areas of strain, inefficiency, excessive cost on one hand and inadequate resources on the other hand that need to be addressed now." And the Supreme Court's consideration of several patent cases in the past two terms is evidence of growing consensus that patent law needs to be rebalanced in order to protect patent owners while ensuring that patent rights are not abused.
A growing chorus of business leaders and companies spanning the technology, financial services, and traditional manufacturing industries has joined with legal scholars, economists, consumer and public interest organizations, government institutions and major editorial boards in calling for patent reform.
Bipartisan patent reform legislation is likely to be considered by the full House of Representatives later this week, and is moving through the Senate as well. As a member of the Coalition for Patent Fairness, we support this legislation and have urged Congress to address these issues in particular:
- Damages apportionment. Damages should be calculated based on the fair share of the patent's contribution to the value of a product, and not on the value of a whole product that has many components. So for example, a windshield wiper found to an infringe a patent should not spur a damage award based on the value of the entire car.
- Restricting forum-shopping. Certain district courts have become notorious for rarely invalidating a patent, and have tilted the balance too often in favor of plaintiffs. We support judicial venue provisions to ensure that patent lawsuits are brought only in district courts with a reasonable connection to the case.
- Post-grant review. The patent system should include a meaningful second chance for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review potentially problematic patents in a timely way, thereby promoting high-quality patents.
- Willfullness. Patent infringers can be forced to pay triple the damages in cases where they are found to have "willfully" infringed a patent, but that standard has been devalued. Punitive triple damages should be reserved for cases of truly egregious conduct.
Some have argued recently that reforms to the patent system would somehow make the U.S. less competitive in the world. That couldn't be further from the truth. Low-quality patents and escalating legal costs are currently hurting the ability of U.S. companies to compete globally, and that in turn hurts U.S. workers and consumers. Without a modernized patent system, U.S. companies are at a competitive disadvantage, spending resources on unnecessary litigation and unwarranted licensing instead of on innovation.
We'll be talking to House members and their staff this week to tell them just how important this is.

I wish you guys would put your weight behind solving the real problem: subject matter expansion. Until the mid-1990s, a patent had to have a non-trivial physical element, like a drug or a new machine; but at that time, a panel of former patent attorneys decided---without referring to Congress or other prior study---that non-physical objects like mathematical algorithms and business methods should be patentable. A few years later, all the "Patent System Broken" headlines started appearing.ReplyDelete
I can't tell from your public statement here whether you in the public policy department support or do not support software patents per se, though I would bet you a dollar that if you surveyed your employees, the great majority would call software and business method patents an impediment. [The Google engineers I know all loathe software patents, though I may have a biased sample.]
Google holds patents, and its SEC filings indicate that those patents are important to its business, but that doesn't tell us anything about the official Google position on software patents: the authors of the SEC filing could be referring to holding patents for defense against other patent-holders, or to using patents for asserting claims against others implementing similar algorithms.
So given that many of your engineers find patenting a mathematical algorithm to be (as your founding engineers woud say) evil, I was hoping that you would put your weight behind something a little closer to the true root of the problem, such as a bill that would include some attempt to address what is patentable subject matter. Such a bill is not necessarily politically impossible, since most of the country's patenters of physical objects (pharma, mechanical, and everything in between) desperately want software patents to go away so they can go back to business before all those "Patent System Broken" headlines.
Why is Google supporting this tepid bill? Have you determined that it's time your engineers revise their ethical beliefs regarding mathematical algorithms? Or is a bill that would address subject matter problems just too unlikely to work?

It is Article I. Sect. 8 Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution.ReplyDelete
Actually, mathematical algorithms are not, and have never been, patentable. See Diamond v. Diehr, 450 U.S. 175, 186 (1981) ("an algorithm, or mathematical formula, is like a law of nature, which cannot be the subject of a patent."). The most telling statement in this post is:ReplyDelete
"Google and other technology companies increasingly face mounting legal costs to defend against frivolous patent claims from parties gaming the system to forestall competition or reap windfall profits."
Patent reform that is designed only to help a certain type of business or a certain segment of the economy is not a good thing, as it advantages some and disadvantages others. Equally telling is the fact that the very employees of the technology companies that support this legislation, namely electrical and electronics engineers, have come out in opposition to it. Oh, and so has the AFL-CIO and the patent examiner's union.
Why? because it would not solve the underlying problems. In order to have meaningful patent reform, what has to change is the administration of the USPTO, not what happens after a patent is issued. The courts have already taken care of that (see KSR (making it easier to show patents are "obvious") and In re Seagate Technology (making it harder to prove willful infringement, and therefore to get increased damages)).
Of course, if patent infringement claims being asserted really are "frivolous," then Google (or any other defendant) would likely be reimbursed for its costs and attorney fees as a result.
As far as the damages apportionment provision, all this really does is shift the burden of proof. Right now, patent infringers can already show that damages should only be attributable to the amount of value the patent adds to the overall product. Many just fail to offer adequate proof, and as the infringer is the "bad actor," it is their burden to show that damages should be reduced once infringement is shown. Why reward those who infringe the rights of others? This provision would be like if someone trespassed on your property and took your best produce out of your garden to make a meal. In order to get damages for the theft, you would then have to use economists to show exactly how much better your produce made the meal over what could be bought at the grocery store. Of course, that's not really the point, is it? The point is that the produce shouldn't have been stolen in the first place.
As far as post-grant review, this always amazes me. There's already post-grant review available at any time during a patent's pendency: it's called reexamination. It allows anyone, at any time to request reexamination of any patent on the basis of any prior art publications. Why exactly do we need another, redundant procedure?
As to willfulness, that's already been taken care of by the Federal Circuit in the Seagate case as noted above. Now there must be a showing of "objective recklessness" in infringing the patent. If you're going to say that the standard has been "devalued," make sure you're up on recent law.
All in all, there is really nothing in the Patent Reform Act for non-big tech to like. Unless, of course, you're a foreign competitor. In the end, Congress has realized that by considering legislation like this, it can get millions of dollars from lobbyists from both sides of the debate, decide not to pass it, and then watch the money roll in the following year.
vikesfan33 comments are right on the money. These reforms are not needed. I sympathize with having to defend against nuisance lawsuits. However, I don't believe Google and other critics of this legislation has sufficiently considered the unintended consequences of this legislation, which will be to significantly devalue patents and stifle innovation.ReplyDelete
The American Intellectual Property Association (AIPLA), the largest professional association of patent lawyers, rarely takes a position on legislation, but they issued a Legislative Alert (via the Practicing Law Institute) pointing out serious deficiencies in the Patent Reform Act and urging its members to immediately contact their representatives to oppose this legislation.ReplyDelete
The AIPLA is comprised of patent attorneys in all areas of practice - plaintiffs, defendants, big company, small company, tech, pharma.
Who else opposes this legislation?
A very partial list includes:
The University of California system (including UC-Berkeley)
General Electric
Cornell University
Every Big Ten University
The National Venture Capital Association
Vanderbilt University and Medical Center
The list goes on and on and on. This is special interest legislation and the special interests are the big tech companies.
Sorry, David but the AIPLA is not "comprised of" anything. Rather, the AIPLA "comprises" the subsequent list.ReplyDelete
Those promoting patent reform including Google are increasingly resorting to poorly supporting statements that are little more than propaganda. This is a fine example in Shelton's and Lee's original article when the report the support ofReplyDelete
....consumer and public interest organizations...
Searching Google News for "consumers groups" joining in on this fray pulls up only the Phoenix Center which released a paper on the topic the previous day, September 4th. Phoenix Center is hardly a mainstream consumer's advocacy group. Following immediately we are finding news articles pointing out Shelton's and Lee's article showing the support of consumers group in patent reform legislation. The Chicago Tribune and Information Week for instance.
I have been a long time supporter of the services Google offers but I am rethinking this if Google continues to undermine my Constitutions rights to effectively patent and license my inventions.
I will point out one fallacy in the arguments shown in this article concerning intermittent windshield wipers. If this is a patented technology, you would need a license from the inventor to install it on your product without infringing that patent. If you refuse to license that technology and continue selling automobiles with intermittent wipers then you should be declared a criminal, not simply shell out a few dollars for this egregious example on willful patent infringement.
You can certainly sell an automobile without an intermittent wiper. It was done for many years until an inventor came up with the technology. This case drug out in the courts for years because arrogant corporations refused to acknowledge the contribution of this inventor to their products.

This guy, Ben Klemens, doesn't appear to understand the point. The outdated and critically flawed patent laws are cunningly exploited by many evil doers.ReplyDelete
Hank asserts there are evil doers. Name one and lets talk about that example. I will suggest that Hank start with Thomas Campana.ReplyDelete
Do you want to take this one one, Hank?
As a CTO at a small-to-medium sized Internet company, I can confirm that one of the chief barriers to real innovation is frivolous patent lawsuits. There simply is no rational way for an Internet company to do business when it comes to current patent law. The changes proposed by HR 1908 don't go far enough, in my opinion: but at least they point in the right direction.ReplyDelete
See my blog post for more details.
While the proposed goals of the legislation are, to a degree, laudable they fail to in any part address overlong copyright terms.ReplyDelete
Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution states:
"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."
the purpose was to secure the rights of inventors, while at the same giving them rights over their works for "limited times." In the last century those rights were extended numerous times to their now egregious extreme of 120 years for works of corporate ownership.
I wish we could take some cues from the British and their sensible decision not to extend their own limits.
Perhaps google would be interested in throwing their considerable weight behind the kind of legislative effort needed to effect a change in this domain.
These reforms are not needed. I sympathize with having to defend against nuisance lawsuits. I don't believe www.google.com and other critics of this legislations including web design company has sufficiently considered the unintended consequences of this legislationReplyDelete
"Unfortunately, the patent system has not kept pace with the changes in the innovation economy." is an important observation especially in the wake of business method patents.ReplyDelete

The only reason on why you have software companies complaining about frivolous lawsuits is software patents.ReplyDelete
We don't need software patents to make useful products, we just need the freedom to sell them, which is what is forbidden by some software patents.
Software companies should consider getting rid of software patents, this patent reform is not gonna solve the problem of patent trolls in anyway. And reducing damages won't help our small internet companies, they don't have the money to go to court anyway.

As Ms. Lee and Ms. Shelton point to our founding fathers, another reference was missing. The founding fathers were familiar with the "English Rule" on prevailing parties - the loser pays the winner's costs.ReplyDelete
Perhaps the solution lies in larger reform of the legal system to do away with frivous claims of all sorts, not just in pantent litigations.
I sympathize with having to defend against nuisance lawsuits. However, I don't believe Google and other critics of this legislation has sufficiently considered the unintended consequences of this legislation, which will be to significantly devalue patents and stifle innovation.ReplyDelete

The new Samsung Galaxy Note "phablet" is in the works as a follow up to the success of its first phone/tablet hybrid – the Galaxy Note.
The Galaxy Note was one of the key contributors to Samsung's success in the past year. Over seven million devices have been sold worldwide. That beats the company's sales projections from back in March by two million units.
According to MK Business News, Samsung plans to release the new handset in October. Samsung apparently wants its new Note to go head to head with the Apple iPhone 5 that is also expected to enter the market in the fall.
The Galaxy Note2 will have a display that is rumored to be larger than the current Note's 5.3-inches. It will up the technology bar with a display made from "unbreakable plane" (or "UBP"), a precursor to the flexible display. The Note II is also is rumored to have a slimmer design than the Note, a quad-core processor and an Android Jelly Bean OS.
No details on pricing have been provided by Samsung.

Final Score: Cardinals 6 – Jets 7
Today the Jets learned some valuable lessons. Just because someone was on the top of the depth chart in May doesn't mean anything come Sundays in the fall. Mark Sanchez is proving his decision-making is horrendous and that he's incapable of playing at the level he's been billed as. Mark Sanchez was removed after an abysmal performance in the first half that saw no great improvement in the second half. The Jets stadium did the right thing in shaming the Jets coaching staff into playing their backup — and just like that the Jets four year enabling relationship of their starting quarterback changed … even if just for a day …
10-21, 97 yards, 3 INT, 21.4 Rating
5-7, 29 yards, 1 TD, 118.5 Rating
One represents a four year veteran starter with playoff experience and one represents a second year player with extremely limited reps. Greg McElroy might not be the answer … but if the question is "can anyone stabilize this offense and NOT sabotage the unit at the quarterback spot?" then maybe he is the answer.
The Jets defense had 22 tackles. That's the mark of a unit's dominance. Now granted, they weren't playing against any great QB. But still, the Jets defense wasn't even on the field enough to rack up any of the "vanity stats" that people quickly look to like sacks and the like. Credit the Jets defense with hanging in while the Jets coaches pushed Mark Sanchez out of the way.
Nick Folk missed two kicks on the day, both off the bars. One was from 46 yards and the other was from 52. It was another rough day for the special teams unit.
The Jets running game came to play, racking up 177 yards mostly from Green and Powell. Powell continues to eat into Shonn Greene's carry totals and is deserving the reps he's getting. Powell still has a lot of work to do in the passing game, but he's becoming a competent second running back and the Jets will carefully consider what his role should be going forward as they head into the offseason and Shonn Greene hits free agency in a likely cap-strapped year.
One more thing about Sanchez. It's amazing to think that he only has 13 interceptions so far on the year, but don't forget that he's fumbled the ball seven times as well.
Remember when Rex Ryan's big disciplinary move with Mark Sanchez was withholding a few measly snaps from him for Mark Brunell? That was about as "real" as Ryan has gotten with Sanchez in the tandem's almost four years together … that is … until today. There's nothing wrong with a good old fashioned kick in the ass, but Rex has seemed anathema to the concept in his time with the Jets and nowhere moreso than with his quarterback.
I said during the game that if Rex Ryan hadn't benched Sanchez and the Jets then lost, that he would most assuredly have been fired this offseason. Why? Because it's the callous disregard to motivating players by actually disciplining them. We get that Rex likes to be all buddy-buddy with his players, but if he can't separate reality from his "belief" that Sanchez is great, then that's called being delusional. Allowing Sanchez to think that nothing was wrong from such a miserable performance would have been an unforgivable sin. While their secondary is decent, the Cardinals are still a bad team and the fact that Mark Sanchez couldn't get over on them is HORRIFYING. So … why has it taken basically four years for Ryan to hook his quarterback? And could this season have looked different if Rex doused him with cold water sooner?
As for next week, I don't think that McElroy has earned himself the Divine Right of Starters from his performance, but I at least expect he'll split some reps this week with Mark Sanchez.

|More Info
Of all the masterful works of suspense created over the course of his career, NORTH BY NORTHWEST is truly the quintessential Alfred Hitchcock movie. If PSYCHO made the world aware of how frightening showers can be, this film introduced us to an improbably terrifying crop duster. The suspense is punctuated by acutely funny jabs throughout, elevating this mistaken identity, innocent-man-on-the-run tale to a level of total magic.
It also features one of the best of the director's trademark cameos.
Alfred Hitchcock began his cinematic storytelling career with silent films and grew his legacy from there. But music came to play a huge role in his work, thanks to composer Bernard Herrmann, best known for the high pitch staccato sounds of the shower scene in PSYCHO. The duo's work in NORTH BY NORTHWEST punctuates an amazing performance by the witty and yet classy Cary Grant. The opening title of this film features one of the most iconic sequences by graphic designer Saul Bass and the opportunity to see it on the silver screen is not to be missed.
The film achieves a rare level of entertainment that is both wickedly funny and to this day has viewers clutching seats. NORTH BY NORTHWEST is more than just a thriller, it is a national treasure. If you've already seen this sensational Grant/Hitchcock collaboration 100 times, it's probably time to see it again. And if this is the your first time...don't worry, we won't tell anyone.

OGDENSBURG Ogdensburg Cinemas, closed in a dispute since last summer, may be reopening soon.
Owner Gilbert J. Jones on Wednesday asked the Ogdensburg Growth Fund Development Corp. for a $100,000 loan for digital projection equipment for his theater at 219 Ford St. He closed it last summer in a dispute with the city over his waterfront development projects.
Im willing to work with the city, said Mr. Jones, a Plattsburgh developer.
The Growth Fund board made no decision, wanting more time to review Mr. Joness application.
Mr. Jones shut down the twin-screen cinema last July in a fit of annoyance with the city. He clashed with planning and development officials over alleged violations in the construction of a concession stand near the former Ramada Inn at 119 W. River St., which he owns and is renovating.
The concession stand dispute was resolved.
Its unfortunate that it happened, Mr. Jones told the board. Nevertheless, The equipment remains obsolete.
Mr. Jones bought the theater in 1980 and over the years has invested heavily in the 9,000-square-foot property. A new roof and ventilation system cost a total of $85,000, and a $73,000 marquee was installed with assistance from a $50,000 state grant.
Mr. Jones said Wednesday he just invested an additional $42,000 for further renovations.
Yet the theater remained unprofitable when it was open, losing an estimated $5,000 annually.
Mr. Jones wants to reopen the theater by or on Easter Sunday, which this year falls on March 31. He anticipates employing 10 people full and part time.
Its not a one-man operation, he said.
While no decision was made Wednesday, Mayor William D. Nelson, the boards chairman, made it clear that Ogdensburg misses having a movie theater downtown.
I want to see the marquee lit up again, he said. I want to see long lines again.

DEKALB JUNCTION More than two dozen DeKalb property owners asked the Town Council on Wednesday to scrap this years revaluation and revert to last years roll because of widespread unhappiness over leaping land values.
The town board is still weighing whether to ask Assessor C. Bruce Green to reject the roll he prepared for this year, but some council members said they also were stunned by some of the increases. The final decision rests with the assessor, subject to challenges to the town Board of Assessment Review and, failing there, state Supreme Court.
At this point, we have not made a decision. Were going to do whatever the right thing is, Supervisor Larry D. Denesha said. We didnt realize it was going to be so drastic. It was certainly sticker shock. This board does not want to put anyone off their property.
Residents turned in petitions signed by 19 Amish property owners and 50 others asking for rejection of Mr. Greens revaluation and substituting it with the 2012 roll plus an across-the-board increase of 5 percent on buildings and up to 10 percent on land. Other petitions still are circulating.
You decide what is actually needed within these limits, said Kenneth Masters, a fourth-generation owner of his family farm. Almost everyone agrees with what were asking.
Reaction to the revaluation started off more muted than the widespread opposition that was seen in Potsdam this year, but became more organized as time went on and property owners started comparing notes. Mr. Green, who was not at the meeting, said earlier the biggest changes were in land values.
But property owners said the values Mr. Green set were widely disparate, even among groups of modular houses near each other that had approximately the same amount of land.
Dan Stone said Mr. Green nearly doubled the assessment on 34 acres he owns on a seasonal road that has no utilities.
Its a place even the rabbits dont want to hang out, Mr. Stone said. I dont think he knows where it is.
Others complained that Mr. Green assessed their older homes as if they were newly built.
Theres not any equity, Lila M. Youngs said. Its not fair.
Residents of Vermont and Massachusetts are finding north country land prices to their liking, but that should not be used to drive longtime residents away, said Constance J. Elen, a former town supervisor.
I think its too much of a bite, she said. Let us be reasonable, not to raise taxes an exorbitant amount because New York state wants it.
While some land in the town has sold for more than expected, the entire populace should not suffer, James A. ONeill said.
Just because someone is foolish enough to pay twice what something is worth doesnt make everything in town worth that much, he said.
Precedent exists for rejection of an entire roll. The Lisbon Town Council persuaded Mr. Green in 2009 to substitute the 2008 roll instead of his revaluation after massive complaints.
That same year, Macomb Assessor Christopher B.T. Coffin tossed aside his efforts and used a 2008 roll with a 10 percent increase under pressure from that town board.
The 2012 roll for DeKalb could be substituted by Mr. Green as long as he has not signed the 2013 roll, town attorney Charles B. Nash said. Last year, Mr. Green signed the roll June 5.
Mr. Greens six-year term as assessor is up this year, and residents urged the board to look elsewhere, but Councilman John M. Frary said Mr. Green tried to do a competent job.
His predictions are based on sales. He didnt stay up at night trying to goof people up, Mr. Frary said. He made some mistakes.
Every revaluation is an upheaval, and returning to the 2012 roll, even with an across-the-board increase, might not solve inequities down the road, Mr. Frary said.
Its just who ends up paying their share, he said. One way or the other, its just not going to end here. Land prices went up double and we didnt expect that. I see everyone coming back here no matter what we do.

Oregon cowboy rides bronc to $30K at National Finals Rodeo
LAS VEGAS, Ore. - An Oregon cowboy rode a bucking bronc named Wise Guy to $30,000 in prizes through Tuesday night at the Wrangle National Finals Rodeo.
Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore., hadn't competed on a bucking bronc since suffering broken ribs and an internal injury in August before returning to competition at the Super Bowl of rodeos on Dec. 1.
Even then, Mote went winless in the first few rounds in Las Vegas.
That changed Tuesday, when Mote scored 87 points aboard a bronc named Wise Guy to win the sixth round and bring his total on the week to nearly $30,000.
"Wise Guy, owned by Classic Pro Rodeo, is a legend in bareback riding," said Mote. "You've got to draw a great bronc here because everyone is on top of their game and it's great competition. It feels good when you get a chance to win."
The summer's injury likely eliminated the four-time world champion from a shot at a third straight world title, according to rodeo insiders.
Competition continues in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Dec. 7, with the seventh round kicking off at 6:45 p.m. PST.
Knowles finds success in steer wrestling
Another Oregon cowboy with success at Nationals is Trevor Knowles of Mount Vernon, Ore.
Knowles tied Jason Miller of Lance Creek, Wyo., for first in the opening round of steer wrestling, then won in 3.3 seconds in the second round.
The wins pushed Knowles to season's winnings of $107,139.
"Everyone here is as competitive as it gets," Knowles said. "So, when you see a 3.3, they want to be 3.2, and you've got guys behind you like Luke and Dean and Jason. They're going to be coming at you, and I'd be coming at them just as hard.
"We're off to a great start. I got hurt in late July and didn't do very good all fall. I just mentally wasn't ready, and physically it held me back. I feel as healthy as I've been since that day, and it feels great to open up and go at them and do my job as best as I can."

What is a CPU/Processor?
The CPU (Central Processing Unit), or processor, is fundamentally the brain of your computer, so it should be among your first purchases when building or updating your system. Key factors to consider when buying a CPU include speed and cost, so take into account how you'll be using your computer. Are you just building or upgrading a basic system? Or maybe you're a computer enthusiast who plays games and loves outstanding multimedia entertainment?
Whether you need a powerful 64-bit processor, a mighty Pentium 4 or a games-crunching AMD Athlon 64FX-60, TigerDirect has the processor to meet your needs, with one of the world's largest and most complete selections of both AMD and Intel CPUs of every type.
Because both AMD and Intel are constantly upgrading their products, you should select the fastest, most powerful processor for your budget, so it won't become obsolete as applications become more complicated and graphics-intensive. If you're only using your computer for things like web-surfing, email and word processing, though, you can get by with a less expensive yet highly efficient processor such as AMD's Sempron or Intel's Celeron.
You'll want to make sure that the processor you get is compatible with the motherboard you'll be using in your system. CPU-motherboard compatibility is determined by the type of socket the processor fits into. For example, Socket 754, Socket 939 and Socket 940 are designed to work with AMD processors, while Socket 478 and LGA Socket 775 are for Intel processors.
With its wide selection of CPUs, TigerDirect has the processor that's right for your system and budget. You'll also find a complete line of cooling fans to fit every type of processor.
How to Choose a Processor
In this video we cover the basics on How to Choose a Processor (aka CPU aka The Chip). Here are a few distinct CPUs that would be suitable for various types of PC Builds, ranging from the everyday Basic Performance to a High Performance PC.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
One in 10 children in the United States suffers from a mental disorder severe enough to cause some level of impairment, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). To counteract this trend, though, a local organization, Families United Through Understanding and Respect of Each Others Strength (FUTURES), is seeking to educate Carbon County residents on the need for support and treatment for children with mental, physical and emotional challenges.
FUTURES is a southeastern Utah based group with support in Carbon, Emery and Grand counties. According to Carbon County chapter representative Amy Nicholson, it is a community's responsibility to get involved.
"The blame game is getting really old," she commented. "There are people who don't ever receive the proper treatment and are unable to lead healthy, productive lives."
It is especially necessary to aid children in getting support and treatment. In the past 20 years, intervention in the field of children's mental health has steadily shifted from institutional-based care to community intervention, according to a collaborative report by the Surgeon General and the NIMH. This shift in responsibility has made being an informed and involved community more essential than ever.
"Spanning roughly 20 years, childhood and adolescence are marked by dramatic changes in physical, cognitive, and social-emotional skills and capacities," the report states. "Mental health in childhood and adolescence is defined by the achievement of expected developmental cognitive, social, and emotional milestones and by secure attachments, satisfying social relationships, and effective coping skills. Mentally healthy children and adolescents enjoy a positive quality of life; function well at home, in school, and in their communities; and are free of disabling symptoms of psychopathology."
Nicholson, with the help of fellow FUTURES representative Debbie Sartori and other, has been actively pursuing a recognized Mental Illness Awareness Week for the cities in Carbon County.
The Mental Health Awareness Week proclamation, which was signed on Sept. 24 by Price City Mayor Joe Piccolo, states that increasing public awareness of severe mental illness will promote greater access to effective treatment for those who suffer from the potentially disabling symptoms of the disorders. The mayors of Helper, Wellington, East Carbon and Sunnyside have also been presented with the same proclamation, which Nicholson and Sartori hope they will show support for.
Mental Health Awareness Week, which will take place Oct. 3-9, will address the following issues to help improve mental health understanding in the area:
Where as, mental health is essential to health, every individual, family and community must understand that mental health is an essential part of overall health and we must increase suicide prevention by reducing the social discrimination of seeking care;
Where as, it is essential to eliminate disparities in mental health by promoting well-being for all, regardless of race, ethnicity, language, place of residence or age and ensure equity of access, delivery of services and improvement, of outcomes, through public and private partnership to ensure culturally competent care to all;
Where as, consumer and families must have the necessary information and the opportunity to exercise choice over their care decisions, including individualized plans of care, expanded supported employment, enhanced rights protections, better criminal and juvenile justice diversion and re-entry programs, improve access to housing and end chronic homelessness;
Where as, every individual must have the opportunity for early and appropriate mental health screening, assessment and referral to treatment;
Where as, adults and children with mental illness must have ready access to evidence-based best treatment, services and support leading to recovery;
Where as, the mental health care system must inform consumers, providers and public policy with quality, accessible and accountable information supporting improved care and information dissemination.
The theme of Mental Illness Awareness Week 2004 is Unity Through Diversity. A kickoff on Oct. 2 at the Carbon County School District offices will include a community panel of concerned citizens and specialists on mental disorders. The open forum discussion will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Nicholson and Sartori said they hope that by bringing Mental Illness Awareness Week to the community, people will know that support and treatment is available.
"Support Mental Health Awareness Week, get involved, make a difference," Nicholson concluded. "It doesn't take that much to get involved in someone's life."

Congrats to Marshall Plouffe, who won the first annual CABO Homerun Derby. His 4 homeruns were enough to win the contest. Plouffe excited the
crowd with a couple mammoth homeruns early in the round, including a 400+ foot shot to straight-away center. Josh Miranda, of the
Gamecocks, finished 2nd, with his 3 towering homeruns to right field.
The East All-Stars also had a couple good hitting performance from Angel Espindola and Mike Noteware of Sandlot and Marshall Plouffe of Los Doyers, who each had
2 hits. Steve Diaz of Sandlot scored twice and stole 2 bases. Jason Mitchell missed a homerun by less than 2 feet, with his 7th shot of the left-center wall. Even
though he was held to a long single, it scored Alan Eldridge from 1st, to pull within 5 runs.

Any intentional harm or mistreatment to a child under 18 years old is considered child abuse. Child abuse takes many forms, which often occur at the same time.
Most child abuse is inflicted by someone the child knows and trusts, often a parent or other relative. If you suspect child abuse, report the abuse to the proper authorities.
A child who's being abused may feel guilty, ashamed or confused. He or she may be afraid to tell anyone about the abuse, especially if the abuser is a parent, other relative or family friend. In fact, the child may have an apparent fear of parents, adult caregivers or family friends. That's why it's vital to watch for red flags, such as:
Specific signs and symptoms depend on the type of abuse. Keep in mind that warning signs are just that — warning signs. The presence of warning signs doesn't necessarily mean that a child is being abused.
Sometimes a parent's demeanor or behavior sends red flags about child abuse. Warning signs include a parent who:
Although most child health experts condemn the use of violence in any form, some people still use corporal punishment (such as spanking) as a way to discipline their children. Corporal punishment has limited effectiveness in deterring behavior and is associated with aggressive behavior in the child. Any corporal punishment may leave emotional scars.
Parental behaviors that cause pain or physical injury — even when done in the name of discipline — could be child abuse.
If you're concerned that your child or another child has been abused, seek help immediately. The sooner you get help and support for the child, the better the child's chance of recovery.
If the child needs immediate medical attention, call 911 or your local emergency number. Depending on the situation, contact the child's doctor, a local child protective agency, the police department, or a hotline such as Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (800-422-4453).
Keep in mind that health care professionals are legally required to report all suspected cases of child abuse to the appropriate county or state authorities.
Child abuse occurs across all social and economic levels and ethnic groups. Factors that may increase a person's risk of becoming abusive include:
Some children overcome the physical and psychological effects of child abuse, particularly those with strong social support who can adapt and cope with bad experiences. For many others, however, child abuse has lifelong consequences. For example, child abuse may result in physical, behavioral, emotional and mental issues. Examples include:
Talk therapy, also called psychotherapy, can help a child who has been abused learn to trust again, as well as teach the child about normal behavior and relationships. Therapy can also teach children conflict management and boost self-esteem. Several different types of therapy may be effective, such as:
Psychotherapy can help parents discover the roots of abuse, learn effective ways to cope with life's inevitable frustrations and learn healthy parenting strategies. If the child is still in the home, social services may schedule home visits and make sure essential needs, such as food, are available.
Children who are placed in foster care because their home situation is too dangerous will also need mental health services and therapies.
If you need help because you're at risk of abusing a child or you think someone else has abused or neglected a child, there are organizations that can provide you with information and referrals, such as:
If a child tells you he or she is being abused, take the situation seriously. The child's safety is most important. Here's what you can do:
If the abuse has occurred at school, make sure the principal of the school is aware of the situation, in addition to reporting it to the local or state child protection agency.
You can take simple steps to protect your child from exploitation and child abuse, as well as prevent child abuse in your neighborhood or community. For example:
If you're concerned that you might abuse your child, seek help immediately, especially if you were abused as a child. If you were a victim of any type of child abuse, get counseling to assure you don't continue the abuse cycle or teach those destructive behaviors to your child. These organizations can provide information and referrals:
Or you can start by talking with your family doctor. He or she may offer a referral to a parent education class, counseling or a support group for parents to help you learn appropriate ways to deal with your anger. If you're abusing alcohol or drugs, ask your doctor about treatment options. Remember, child abuse is preventable — and often a symptom of a problem that may be treatable. Ask for help today.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Property issues continue to be at the forefront of city business in East Carbon as local officials are now considering the first of what promises to be many changes to the city's nuisance laws.
If ratified, the new ordinance would compel those who are ticketed to appear in municipal court rather than simply pay a fine. This initial move ultimately will bring property owners face-to-face with city officials who have vowed to make a change in the way local homes and yards are cared for.
"I am looking out for the members of this community, that is what I was elected to do," said council member David Maggio, who has taken a large interest in this issue. "There has to be a change and if that means increasing the consequences for unkempt property, then so be it."
According to Maggio, most of the time somebody passes away, their children either have their own homes or can't afford to keep the property which has been left to them.
"So they get what they can for these houses and one of two things happen," said Maggio.
"Either they become slum lord rental units or they are sold to someone who isn't capable of taking care of the property themselves."
Since the beginning of this issue, Maggio has held firm in his position that a big change needs to be made within the city. However, it is important to note that his comments in the Tuesday Sun Advocate were specifically aimed at several renters which had left large messes when they vacated the city, not all of those who rent in East Carbon.
Several of the area's property owners see this distinction as too little, too late.
"I don't have a problem with the new ordinance and I don't have any problems with cleaning the town up," said Roger Bunn, who owns seven local properties and manages more than 25. "And if you go past my properties you will see that they are cleaned up, this is my community as well, as I have chosen to live here."
Currently, most of Bunn's properties are being rented and while he did stipulate that some of them could definitely use a coat of paint, he considers them to be in as good condition as many of the owner-occupied homes in the community.
"From a rental owner's perspective, the real problem is that you can't rent a home for $400 a month and expect that an executive is going to live there," said Bunn. "These are just regular everyday people. One of the things I love about being a landlord here is that I do feel a responsibility to my renters and I help them. However, I don't have the constitutional right to tell a person how to clean their own home."
Council member Maggio has a different perspective concerning even the financial end of this issue. He has stated on numerous occasions that nicer homes with newer appliances and amenities would bring in renters looking to spend a little more.
Don Hicken, who owns properties in both Sunnyside and East Carbon, also has strong opinions concerning the way the city is handling this issue. Hicken asked via email if council member Maggio thought that being compelled to appear in court, in a distant city, over the actions of another person might dampen the interest of possible investors.
Hicken took issue with several comments made by Maggio in Tuesday's article, inquiring as to his thoughts concerning the civil rights of both landlords and their tenants. He also asked if Maggio favored the possibility of granting certain policing powers to landlords, including the right to summary eviction.
Both Hicken and Bunn reported an interest in seeing steeper and more strict penalties for those who rent the houses rather than the brunt falling on the landlord.
"While I agree with the ordinance they proposed last night, I do think there should be harsher penalties for the renters who are in these properties. Once their rent is paid, I can't just come in and do what I want to clean up their yard," he explained. "These are not children or elderly people who are not able to clean their property. These are people who are capable."
While many associated with this issue have stated that those living at the property should be responsible to care for it, in many instances compelling that care is impossible.
"Problems with renters is an ongoing problem. If we can fix this with the land owner, we are getting closer to a solution with some staying power," said Maggio. "Because when the renter skips town, someone has to be responsible."
For their part, both Bunn and Hicken have stated that their monetary investment in their properties along with ongoing repairs should hold some weight with the council. For Bunn especially, he feels he has worked with the city.
"I have assisted the East Carbon police in ridding this community of drug use at the properties I own," said Bunn, while recounting his role in a large bust within the city. "I have also evicted renters myself due to problems with the way they cared for their property. This is my community as well and I don't want this to get out of hand between the council and owners within the city."
For his part, Hicken also took exception with comments made by Planning and Zoning director Liz Ferguson. Specifically, the fact that she had been dealing with problems stemming from a rental unit for a year.
"I want to know if she had filed complaints within the existing nuisance ordinance before the end of March?" asked Hicken. "And is she after punishment or justice and is justice not available through the ordinance which already exists?"
Liz has stated that the current ordinance is not enough.
"The ordinance Liz provided to us will provide the leverage we need to clean this problem up and that is the direction we are headed," concluded Maggio.

Panoramic ViewThe Vitra Design Museum presents Konstantin Grcic
Over more than two decades Konstantin Grcic has been firmly established in the design scene – Vitra Design Museum now dedicates the biggest ever exhibition to the Munich designer's works.
Konstantin Grcic is considered one of the most important contemporary designers of our time and since the opening of his office KGID in 1991 Grcic has been captivating the design world with his impressive designs and frequently awarded works for international furniture manufacturers. The 49-year-old product designer's unmistakable hallmark re-interprets well-established shapes. His creativity critically scrutinizes form and function – creating exciting designs of an aesthetically appealing form. Many of his works, such as the cone-shaped lamp "Mayday" or the legendary "Chair One" made of aluminum among others, are already regarded as design classics today.
Vitra Design Museum in Weil on the Rhine is now dedicating a comprehensive solo exhibition to Grcic, presenting not only his countless design drafts but also many extensive installations. Under the title "Panoarama", Grcic divides his exhibition into different sections in which he demonstrates his visions of tomorrow's life: a residential environment, a design studio and an urban space. A forth section gives the visitor personal insight into Grcic's everyday work life – surrounded by drawings, prototypes or finds which inspired the designer. Therefore objects of other designers and artists, such as Marcel Duchamp, Gerrit Rietveld or Enzo Mari, that have had a bearing on Grcic's work, will also be on display. For three years Grcic has been preparing the exhibition in order to make the visitor gain access to his personal artistic visions and ideas.
Grcic talks with Vitra Design Museum curator Janna Lipsky about his thoughts on the exhibition and his personal paragons:
The exhibition »Panorama« presents your work to date, but also ventures a look into the future of design. How did this project come about?
I was never interested in a classic presentation of works. Instead, I wanted to understand the exhibition as an independent work, as a design project. In dialogue with Mateo Kries, it was decided that the show should involve a discourse on the future. As an industrial designer this isn't all that unusual, but the exhibition provided an opportunity for a much more programmatic and comprehensive investigation of the theme. The show could become an expression of my personal view of the future.
Why did you aspire to become a designer?
In the 1980s, I apprenticed as a cabinetmaker in England. At the time, my sister was living in Vienna, where a retrospective was being shown on Achille Castiglioni. I wasn't familiar with Castiglioni but my sister sent me the exhibition catalogue, which really made an impression on me. The catalogue not only covered his works but also Castiglioni as a person. He was already quite old but still so curious and spry! At the time, I was thinking about what I wanted to do. I believe people not only need to find something that interests them, but also role models. Castiglioni was such a person for me and it suddenly clicked that I could become a designer.
You then studied design at the Royal College of Art in London and founded your own practice KGID in Munich. In your studio, you surround yourself with many found artefacts and design and art objects. What significance do these objects have for you?
I'll start with a teapot made of tin, which I bought when I moved from England to Munich. That's basically the beginning of my studio right there. I love this thing and still use it every day. Then the chair I'm sitting in, it's the Box Chair by Enzo Mari. I often find myself marvelling at this chair, the way its form and design are so extremely defined by its directness and pragmatism. Then there's this poster for a Marcel Duchamp exhibition from the 1960s. It's simply a very beautiful poster that stands for an art movement – a conceptual, radical and highly intellectual one.
The exhibition is open from 21 March to 14 September. Tip: combine a visit to the Vitra Museum with a trip to Art Basel from 19 to 22 June.

i'd say i like voyage century more than pirates king, although it's a little laggy.
IGG made them both, so they both suck! lol that's my opinion mates.
I have never played PKO. All I have to say is VOC is fairly fun. The game does have flaws in it's system. Also how the game is managed. Some of the translations are poor. Construction program in the game (making weapons armor) is a monster. The amount of materials (MATS) needed to achive mission goals can be just down right rediculous. Only due the a chance that nothing will come from the production attempt. Example items need 30 lvl1,2 and 3 cloth so 90 in total. 11 attempts and nothing. Under stand the frustration of growing,compounding and stockpiling these resources. Hours and hours and hours and so on of play (boring play) for nothing. Needlees to say he dosent play anymore. Skill lvl restrictions unless you pay. You cant even "go to the next lvl" with all your skills only 8.....unless you pay. Some thing you pay for such as Morhping your guy in to monster is time limited. So the game is fun and free with it's problems. It is also designed go suck as much money from you as it can. With no support. Which can be nice. Because they dont suppot or really monitor. Guilds can run wild and really controll the seas from other players....If the guild is large enough well managed.....
