Sherlock Holmes – Some Copyright, Some Not
In a 10-month-long dispute between the Conan Doyle Estate and writer/editor Leslie Klinger, the trial court ruled 50 of the Sherlock Holmes stories, all published prior to 1923, are in the public domain. Ten stories published after 1923 are protected by copyright in the US.
The court held elements introduced in the Sherlock Holmes stories published after 1923, such as Watson having a second wife, remain under copyright in the United States.
The UK copyright for all the Sherlock Holmes stories expired in 1980. According to UK law, the term of copyright protection is the life of the author plus 50 years. Mr. Doyle died in 1930.
Even though the works were originally published in England, they still receive copyright protection in other countries. The protection in the US, is based solely on US law. So why is 1923 the magic year in the US, the short answer is with implementation of the Copyright Term Extension Act it was determined that works published prior to 1923 are in the public domain. "Because of legislation passed in 1998, no new works will fall into the public domain until 2019, when works published in 1923 will expire. In 2020, works published in 1924 will expire, and so on."

Malcom X Heirs Sue for Copyright Infringement and Injunction
The Heirs of Malcom X sue to stop the publication of key portions of Malcom X's diaries. While the diaries were donated to the New York Public Library, the family argues no copyright transfer has occurred to allow defendant, Third World Press, to print all or any portion of the diaries. The family, via the entity X Legacy, LLC, seeks emergency injunction relief to stop the publication. To add to the confusion, one of Malcom X's daughters is an editor of the project and seems to be defending the actions of Third World Press.
Donating of papers to a library or other organization is a common practice of high-profile individuals. The act of donation does not constitute a transfer of the copyright. At a minimum, in accordance with the terms of the donation or loan agreement, the donee may have the ability to display the materials for research purposes or public review.
At this stage in the litigation process, it is unclear on what grounds Third World Press, LLC is claiming they have the right to reproduce and distribute the diaries.

EMI Entertainment World, Inc. v. Karen Records, Inc. – Who is the right plaintiff in a copyright dispute
EMI Entertainment World, Inc. learned the hard way that making sure you name the correct plaintiff in a lawsuit is pretty important to winning.
EMI sued Karen Records, Inc., Karen Publishing, Inc. and the owners of these entities for copyright infringement and won a $100,000 verdict.
Too bad EMI did not listen to Karen's attorney and verify who actually owned the copyright in the songs/sound recordings that were infringed by Karen. Because EMI refused to join in the lawsuit one or more of EMI's subsidiaries as the proper party and owner of the copyrights, the case was dismissed by the judge for lack of jurisdiction. EMI did not have standing to file the suit on behalf of the EMI subsidiaries. EMI was notified of this potential deficiency in the lawsuit and refused to fix the problem.
Copyright litigation practice tip – Name the actual copyright owners as the parties to the lawsuit. EMI won, but actually lost.
Here's a link to the Opinion.
Copyright Basics FAQ
Copyright FAQ
The US Copyright Office has a wealth of information available at their website on the copyright registration process.
What is a copyright? Copyright is an original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression — such as a song, book, or sound recording.
What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright? A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others. Examples of well-known trademarks include NIKE, CHANEL and ZYRTEC. Click here to read more about trademark basics.
What is a "Poor Man's Copyright?" The practice of mailing a copy of your own work to yourself is sometimes called a "Poor Man's Copyright." There is no provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of protection, and it is not a substitute for registration. In the event of an infringement lawsuit it may not even be admissible to prove creation and ownership of the work.
Do I need a lawyer to file a copyright application? NO. Anyone may complete and submit an application to the Copyright Office.
Where do I file a copyright application? Copyright applications may be filed through the U.S. Copyright Office. More information is available at: http://www.copyright.gov.
Which copyright form should I use? The Copyright Office has transitioned to an online filing system to replace the old TX, SR, PA paper forms. To use the eCO Online Filing system click here.
What does it cost to file a copyright application? The current filing fees charged by the Copyright Office are $65 per hard copy application or $35 per eCO Online Filing application.
Do I need to register my work to have copyright protection? The short answer is No. Copyright protection arises at the moment of creation — when you fix an original work in a tangible expression. Follow through with a copyright application to gain additional protections. Many choose to register their works because they wish to have the facts of their copyright on the public record and have a certificate of registration. Registered works may be eligible for statutory damages and attorney's fees in successful litigation. Finally, if registration occurs within 5 years of publication, it is considered prima facie evidence in a court of law.
Creative Commons is all the protection I need, right? Creative Commons Licenses do not give you copyright protection. The licenses available from Creative Commons are simply that … licenses to help you define the rights and obligations by which other people can use your works. Creative Commons is simply one option available to you for licensing your works to third parties.
Pre-72 Sound Recordings not subject to DMCA
Under New York state law a decision issued last week holds pre-1972 sound recordings are not subject to the DMCA safe harbor provisions and Grooveshark is liable for state law copyright infringement of UMG owned pre-1972 sound recordings. UMG Recordings, Inc. v. Escape Media Group, Inc. Opinion linked here.
The year the sound recording was released is key to UMG's argument. Prior to February 15, 1972 sound recordings were protected by state law copyright schemes. All sound recordings released after February 15, 1972 are protected by Federal Copyright Law.
Grooveshark continues to hide under the protection of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Safe Harbor provision claiming it didn't know that content uploaded by third parties was infringing and had been uploaded without permission. I believe the judges' decision was correct. If the pre-72 sound recording owners do not receive any of the protections of the Federal Copyright Act such as the ability to recover attorneys' fees or sue for statutory damages, then why should an infringer receive defensive benefits from the Copyright Act?
Because this decision was issued by the New York State Appellate Court, that court had no obligation to follow a footnote in Capitol Records, Inc. v. Mp3 Tunes, LLC, 821 F.Supp.2d 627 (S.D.N.Y. 2011) in which the court states in dicta:
This Court agrees with [Mp3 Tunes, LLC] the plain meaning of the statutory language makes the DMCA safe harbors applicable to both state and federal copyright claims. Thus, the DMCA applies to sound recordings fixed prior to February 15, 1972.
UMG made a great tactical decision in keeping their pre- and post-72 sound recordings separated in their legal filings. A state court was the appropriate venue to decide if the DMCA applies to sound recordings that are not otherwise protected by the U.S. Copyright Act.

Sherlock Holmes, Elementary, Copyright Protection and Trademarks
Updated 2/10/14
In a 10-month-long dispute between the Conan Doyle Estate and writer/editor Leslie Klinger, the trial court ruled 50 of the Sherlock Holmes stories, all published prior to 1923, are in the public domain. Ten stories published after 1923 are protected by copyright in the US.
The court held elements introduced in the Sherlock Holmes stories published after 1923, such as Watson having a second wife, remain under copyright in the United States.
The UK copyright for all the Sherlock Holmes stories expired in 1980. According to UK law, the term of copyright protection is the life of the author plus 50 years. Mr. Doyle died in 1930.
Even though the works were originally published in England, they still receive copyright protection in other countries. The protection in the US, is based solely on US law. So why is 1923 the magic year in the US, the short answer is with implementation of the Copyright Term Extension Act it was determined that works published prior to 1923 are in the public domain. "Because of legislation passed in 1998, no new works will fall into the public domain until 2019, when works published in 1923 will expire. In 2020, works published in 1924 will expire, and so on."
"It's elementary my dear Watson, Sherlock Holmes might still have copyright protection." Not precisely the definitive answer one expects from Sherlock's reasoning of all things – even the intricacies of copyright law.
The recent lawsuit filed against the estate of Sir Author Conan Doyle might bring out heirs of other great works created in the late 1800's and early 20th century to see just how long copyright protection can be stretched.
The character of Sherlock Holmes first appeared in publication in 1887 and was featured in four novels and 56 short stories spanning until 1927. According to US Copyright Law, the works written and published prior to 1923 are in the public domain. That means the characters, story lines and plots are free for use. The Estate asserts the works between 1923 and 1927 are infringed by the book In the Company of Sherlock Holmes scheduled for publication by Random House. In order to head-off an infringement suit, author/editor Leslie Klinger filed a declaratory judgment action asking the Judge to find the copyright on certain works featuring Sherlock Holmes and certain elements of the stories has expired.
The Complaint filed does a great job laying out the facts regarding when certain elements were first used in the Sherlock Holmes stories and why those elements are in the public domain.

On another interesting note, the Conan Doyle Estate Limited has been busy filing trademark applications for the brand SHERLOCK HOLMES. In 2010 the estate filed six intent to use trademark application featuring the name SHERLOCK HOLMES. Based on US Patent and Trademark office filings, none of these trademarks are currently in use by the Estate. The image above of Holmes with the Pipe is a registered trademark of the The Sherlock Holmes Memorabilia Company. According to the Conan Doyle Estate Website, the Estate is pursuing cancellation of this trademark registration.

Copyright First Sale Doctrine Before Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court will decide in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. if importing and re-selling copyrighted works originally intended only for sale in a foreign territory is protected by the "First Sale Doctrine" or constitutes copyright infringement.
If the importation of what are deemed "gray market goods" and their resale is protected by the "First Sale Doctrine," book publishers, music owners, and other content owners argue the economic impact on the US market will be devastating. It will under-cut content owners' ability to offer content for different price points in foreign countries, ie, books/music/films might be sold for a cheaper price in a foreign country than in the US.
Supap Kirtsaeng, a Thai national and former Cornell University student, had family members purchase authorized copies of textbooks in Thailand which he resold on eBay in the US for a profit. Evidence at trial suggests Kirtsaeng had a million dollar operation. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. sued Kirtsaeng for copyright infringement and won at trial and the Second Court of Appeals upheld a $600,000 damage award.
Kirtsaeng argues his actions were not copyright infringement but protected by the first sale doctrine which provides an individual who knowingly purchases a copy of a copyrighted work from the copyright holder receives the right to sell, display or otherwise dispose of that particular copy. See 17 U.S.C. § 109(a) & (c).
John Wiley & Sons argues unauthorized importation of the books constitutes copyright infringement in violation of the copyright owners' distribution rights. See 17 U.S.C.§ 602(a)(1). Content owners argue such "gray market" goods or unauthorized imports are not lawfully made under the Copyright Act and the resale constitutes copyright infringement.
The case is ripe for Supreme Court review as the 2nd and 9th Circuits say the "first sale doctrine" does not apply and the 3rd Circuit says it does.
Music lawyer Tamera Bennett and film lawyer Gordon Firemark discussed the Kirtsaeng appellate court ruling on Episode 23 of the Entertainment Law Update podcast.
Copyright Renewal Vests in Sony not Roger Miller's Heirs
For works published or copyrighted prior to January 1, 1978, the sixth circuit court of appeals made a landmark decision holding the copyright renewal term vests in the music publisher when the author dies during the twenty-eighth year after copyright was secured — the last year of the fist copyright term.
The history of the case can be found here and here. Miller's heirs have been in a litigation with Sony Music Publishing for years over who owns the songs that Miller wrote in 1964. Miller died in 1992, the 28th year after writing songs such as "King of the Road" and "Dang Me."
It takes a family with assets to pursue litigation to trial, appeal and back again. The Miller estate has helped to clarify, at least in the sixth circuit, an unanswered question in copyright law.

Sir Elton John Sued for Copyright Infringement
Twenty years after Guy Hobbs first thought Elton John's hit "Nikiti" was lyrically too similar to Hobbs' poem "Natasha," Hobbs' sued John, Bernie Taupin and Big Pig Music in federal court for copyright infringement on April 26, 2012.
Both the song and poem tell a story of a cold-war romance. Hobbs' poem, or he calls it his lyrics, was written in 1982 and registered for copyright in the UK in 1983. In 1984 Hobbs forwarded the poem "Natasha" to Big Pig Music, the music publishing company that represents Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Elton John released "Nikita" in 1985 on the album "Ice and Fire." Hobbs alleges he first discovered the release of "Nikiti" in 2001.
Whether or not Hobbs can prove infringement is not the primary issue in this case. Hobbs' has admitted in his complaint he had actual knowledge in 2001 of the alleged infringement. Further, the defendants could easily imply Hobbs should have had knowledge in 1985 when John released the album "Ice and Fire."
The defense should succeed in this case on their defenses of statute of limitations and laches. Hobbs simply waited too long to sue. The statute of limitations for copyright infringement is three years. Laches is a defense in common law created by judges, meaning not a law created by legislators, that says you can't wait too long to sue.
There may also be some interesting procedural questions based on the fact that all the parties are residents of countries other than the United States.
Does Phone Call Equal Song Lyrics? Drake Sued by Ex As Co-Writer of Song
Grammy nominee Drake has been sued by an ex-girlfriend who claims she co-wrote the hit song "Marvin's Room" and is entitled to part ownership in the copyright in the song; copyright in the sound recording; and payment of songwriter royalties.
The first 30 seconds of the song is a recording of a phone conversation with the ex-girlfriend and plaintiff, Erika Lee. Lee asserts that she and Drake had every intention to write the song together and that her contributions were intended to be incorporated into the final song. Lee contends the intro "phone message" is key to the underlying song.
Lee's complaint is somewhat confusing as issues of ownership of the sound recording are intermingled with claims asserting ownership in the underlying song.
The most interesting thing in the complaint to me is a cause of action for Breach of Fiduciary Duty. Really, songwriters have a fiduciary duty to one another? If a record label doesn't have a fiduciary duty to an artist, do we really think that one songwriter would owe the highest duty of utmost care to a co-writer?
Read the complaint here.
Newt Gingrich Sued Copyright Infringement "Eye of the Tiger"
Newt Gingrich's campaign makes the news twice in a week for claims of copyright infringement of a song. Rude Music Inc., owned by Frank Sullivan, a co-author of the song "Eye of the Tiger," filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in federal district court in Chicago for Gingrich's use of the song on the campaign trail.
As discussed last week, so long as Gingrich's campaign secured the necessary public performance licenses, any song may be played at a campaign event without permission from Rude Music, Frank Sullivan or Rocky Balboa.
Rude Music complaint's does raise an interesting point regarding videos of campaign events where "Eye of the Tiger" can be heard. There may be a blush of a valid claim for copyright infringement related to these videos. Reproduction and distribution of the video footage looks a lot less like a "public performance" and more like a synchronization of the song to the other visual images in the footage.
Volcano Records (parent company is Sony), the copyright owner of the underlying sound recording, is not a party to the lawsuit.
Happy reading: Jump to the complaint.
Supreme Court Upholds Copyright Protection For Foreign Works
The U.S. Supreme Court decision released this week in Golan v Holder maintained copyright protection for millions of works created by foreign authors. Before 1989, many foreign authors' works became public domain for not fulfilling requirements in the U.S. Copyright Act. In 1994, Congress passed the Uruguay Round Agreements Act restoring U.S. copyright protection for works published by foreign authors primarily between 1923 and 1964. The URAA brought the U.S. into compliance with the Berne Convention copyright treaty.
The Justices that dissented in the 6 to 2 decision expressed concern that upholding the pertinent section of the URAA denies the right of freedom expression and curtails the incentive to create new works.

Thursday Sept. 30, 2008
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Steve Spurrier has the No. 1 defense in
college football. Now, if he could only get his trademark offense
playing the same way at South Carolina.
The Gamecocks coach said Tuesday he was proud of his defenders,
ranked first in overall defense among Football Bowl Subdivision
clubs. Spurrier says he'll work this week to nudge his 79th-ranked
offense for South Carolina's Southeastern Conference game at Ole
Miss on Saturday.
Spurrier says freshman quarterback Stephen Garcia had his
moments in last Saturday's 26-13 victory over UAB. However,
Spurrier will again wait until later in the week before naming a
starter for this week.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ESPN's Mark May says containing Oregon State's passing game key for ASU
As Arizona State hosts Oregon State Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium, ESPN college football analyst Mark May says the key for ASU will be to contain the Beavers' passing game, and that it won't be easy.
OSU boasts two players, Sean Mannion and Brandin Cooks, who are leading the nation in passing and receiving yards, respectively.
"Oregon State's not an easy team. Their defense is so-so. Can (ASU) contain their passing game? That's going to be the real problem," May told Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo Tuesday. "And nobody's really stopped them, except Stanford. Stanford really kind of shut down Sean Mannion and their wide receiver (Cooks)."
Stanford defeated OSU 20-12 two weeks ago in Oregon. Mannion threw for 271 yards and Cooks had 80 yards receiving — both modest numbers compared to the duo's usual output.
"(Cooks) is quick as a hiccup. He's not really big. They list him, I think, as 6-foot or 6-foot-1. He's really like 5-foot-11, but he's quick and he runs terrific routes," the analyst said.
May was hesitant to praise the Sun Devils' recent 20-19 win on the road over Utah, even though it was the team's fourth victory in a row.
"Boy, they squeaked that one out," he said. "They had to have a defensive lineman [Will Sutton] come up with an interception to get the win against the Utes."
Utah dropped to 4-5, including 1-5 in the Pac-12, with its loss last Saturday to ASU.
"Job well done, guys. I'm very proud of those (ASU) players. They've worked their tails off," May said sarcastically.
The analyst also said the Sun Devils may have a chance to play for the Rose Bowl at the end of the season, and he offered some advice on how the team can get there.
"If they can keep the ship going, I think it's going to be a good season for them. They've just got to finish strong. That's the key," he said. "It's not how you start; it's how you finish. They need to finish strong. They've got to play consistently throughout the year. They went three games in a row of scoring 50 points-plus, then all of a sudden they get stymied in Utah. So, it's one of those things: What track are they on?"

Does something like this exist online. I am not a web developer nor do I have an understanding of script. I'm a simple guy who wants to start a blog, but not at *.blogspot.com, etc. I want my own blog with my own hosting.
I am stuck on the installation part...looks like on step #4 with uploading the config file. My hositng company would not answer any questions about me confirming if the config.php file was in ascii:
"Thank you for contacting customer support. Although we do support the use of HTML, Java, CGI, PHP and/or ASP within our hosting accounts, we are unable to assist our customers with scripting issues or assist with third party coding/scripting."
Sooo, since I like the features of wordpress (from what I have gathered online), do not want to use the free blog formats, and am stubborn as hell (read: now its simply a mission learn in order to get up and running).
I know absolutely nothing except I get a lot of errors when I click install. Is there a source to understand what I'm supposed to be doing a little better. It seems to me that in reading many of the topics, some answers are there but I don't know what they mean ;-)

Maximum Profit Configurations of Commercial Engines

AbstractAn investigation of commercial engines with finite capacity low- and high-price economic subsystems and a generalized commodity transfer law [n ∝ Δ (P m)] in commodity flow processes, in which effects of the price elasticities of supply and demand are introduced, is presented in this paper. Optimal cycle configurations of commercial engines for maximum profit are obtained by applying optimal control theory. In some special cases, the eventual state—market equilibrium—is solely determined by the initial conditions and the inherent characteristics of two subsystems; while the different ways of transfer affect the model in respects of the specific forms of the paths of prices and the instantaneous commodity flow, i.e., the optimal configuration.

Just updated, and now I cannot add or change secondary featured images.
Can you provide more details? And from which version you updated?
Same thing happened with mine as well. Before I had options to remove, or add. Those text options are now gone.
A page/post with NO secondary image in place has no options to add one, though the box for Featured Image 2 exists. A page/post with a secondary image in place has no options to remove it.
I am running WordPress 3.7.1, WooCommerce Version 2.0.18. I was running 2.0 of your plugin previously.
I replaced the text link with image in ver 2.0.1. Does the plugin folder has images after upgrade? Can you clear the cache and check it again? Also is the firebug console showing any kind of javascript conflict?
I checked it in ver 3.7.1 by upgrading it from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 but it is working good. I will check for the issue in detail and will get back to you as soon as possible. Sorry for the trouble you guys are facing.
I'm a bit embarrassed by the idea that I didn't clear the cache.
I'm always giving that advise out to clients. For the sake of anyone else having this issue, command R or Ctrl F5 is your friend here.
That happens Nate. After all programming is not an easy job ;). Glad to know that it worked. I will add it in the documentation too.

I worked diligently on the process, but after countless efforts, and sinking a large sum of additional money into this task, I had not recouped my money. At this point, I called the company's hotline, and requested the refund promised to me at the beggining of this process. From this point on, I have been met with nothing but hostility, bullying, lying, and double-talk.
I have been given numerous excuses and reasons why they claim they will not refund me my money. Their reason why has changed over the years. Furthermore, everytime I call, they tell me that "according to their records, I haven't called them to try to settle this in over a year." I am at my wits end, and wish this could get resolved.

Better Bang For Your Buck: Boxing or UFC?
Went out to east Dallas last week to spend some quality time with the only Olympic boxer in the history of Dallas, Luis Yanez.
The kid is immensely cocky, tiny - would you believe 5-foot-4 and around 118 pounds? - and has the world by the short hairs. You'll want to hate him, but you'll wind up loving him. Here, read for yourself.
Yanez fights as a pro for the first time Friday night at AAC. I'll be there. You?
If you haven't noticed, boxing needs charismatic up-n-comers like Yanez. The sport isn't dead, but it's on life support. From what I can tell, UFC/MMA has boxing's sweet science in an arm bar.

Have you seen a UFC fight? Better yet, when's the last time you attended a boxing match?
Boxing's golden age of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns and Tyson has gone the way of 8-tracks and stewardesses. Quick, name the heavyweight champion of the world.
Trick question, because there are four of them. Two are named Klitschko - Vitali and Wladimir. The other two? Ruslan Chagaev and Nicolay Valuev. Where's Rocky when we finally need him?
While boxing drowns in a confusing bowl of WBC/IBF/WBA/WBO alphabet soup, UFC seems to be overtaking poker as America's latest sports fad. I watched a fight recently - St. Pierre over Penn - and, I admit, thoroughly enjoyed it. As opposed to boxing, there are countless avenues to victory. Less slugging; more strategy. Boxing always looks to me like the strongest, longest dude will win. But UFC looks like when you used to wrestle your brother in the back yard. Rules? Pffffffft.
It got me to wondering, who would last longer: A UFC fighter in a boxing match? Or a boxer in a UFC fight?
Sorry, Luis. Gimme the UFC fighter.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Bryce Petty threw three touchdowns and ran for two more as No. 4 Baylor stayed undefeated, overcoming its first double-digit deficit of the season in a 63-34 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night.
Shock Linwood, effectively the Bears' third-string running back, ran 29 times for 187 yards and a touchdown while Devin Chafin, another redshirt freshman, had 11 carries for 100 yards and two TDs. Levi Norwood had TD catches of 40 and 58 yards, and also returned a punt 58 yards for a score.
Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4) lost its fourth straight game since a 7-0 start for first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Team Khan Deny Mayweather Rumors, Eye Alexander
By Team Khan
Team Khan would like to dispel recent reports that Amir Khan has pulled out of a potential match-up against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander on December 7th, taking up a fight against Floyd Mayweather in May of next year instead.
Contrary to this story, Amir Khan is currently in training camp in San Francisco with the aim of fighting again in December against Alexander once an agreement can be reached.

Live-Blogging Obama's State of the Union Address
President Barack Obama will deliver his second official State of the Union address tonight, facing a far more Republican Congress than his first. The president will call for comity and national unity even as he establishes the battle lines on spending and budget matters that will dominate the next two years.
The guests in First Lady Michelle Obama's box indicate where he is going. The mix of entrepreneurs, science-minded students and the survivors of the Tucscon shootings that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords grievously wounded point the way to an emotional address that seeks to capitalize on this moment of national introspection to refocus the country on what Mr. Obama says is necessary to "win the future": increased spending on education, innovation and infrastructure, balanced with spending cuts elsewhere and a call to get serious about a deficit that could create a crisis in the medium to long term.
Hi, I'm Devlin Barrett and I write about Congress, and I'll be contributing to the live blog here.
In excerpts released ahead of the speech, the president calls for new spending on education and innovation to invigorate the economy, calling it "our Sputnik moment.''
But does the Sputnik analogy – comparing the space race to our current quest for a stronger economy – really work? Beating the Russians to the moon seems a world removed from beating the Chinese in the global economy. And even if the United States succeeds in launching a stream of new cutting-edge technological wonders, presumably we would be selling as many of them as possible to the Chinese and everyone else on the planet.
Hi. I'm Damian Paletta, economic policy reporter at the Wall Street Journal.
President Obama is slated tonight to proposed a five-year freeze on non-security, discretionary spending.
What does that mean?
"Non-security" essentially means money that isn't being used for homeland security or national defense. "Discretionary" spending is a budget term, which essentially excludes entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
So to put it in context, non-security discretionary spending was in the ballpark of $500 billion last year, or roughly 15% of the $3.5 trillion spent by the government.
The White House is describing the freeze on this category of spending as a "down payment" on cutting the deficit. Republicans are saying it isn't enough.
I'm Joe White, senior editor for regulation.
President Obama is trying to deliver at least two messages at once, never easy.
Message 1: Cheer up! America's on the Comeback Trail.
"We are poised for progress. Two years after the worst recession most of us have ever known, the stock market has come roaring back. Corporate profits are up. The economy is growing again," he will say, according to a White House teaser.
Message 2: For Pete's Sake, America, bust out of your self-doubting funk and recapture the spirit that put Neil Armstrong on the moon. And by the way, knock off the partisan bickering.
Agree with my colleague Devlin Barrett. Reaching back to the Cold War for imagery is an odd way to inspire the nation to innovate for the 21st Century.
We've also got some excerpts from the Republican rebuttal to the speech, which as one might expect, paints a far more foreboding picture of the challenges ahead.
Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, warns of a debt-driven catastrophe if government spending is not checked.
If the country continues on the current spending path "we will transform our social safety net into a hammock, which lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency," says Ryan, who goes on to say: "It's no coincidence that trust in government is at an all-time low now that the size of government is at an all-time high."
For fun, real State of the Union aficionados can go online and grab the text of Bill Clinton's 1995 address — given to the newly Republican Congress. Here's a copy:
Score a point for each parallel. Here's one to start you off: Both addresses start with a reference to the election setback.
Their separate speeches Tuesday night will probably be after bedtime for a lot of children on the east coast, but President Barack Obama and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wisc.) will both invoke the next generation to try and drive home their points.
This is according to excerpts:
Mr. Obama: "We measure progress by the success of our people. By the jobs they can find and the quality of life those jobs offer. By the prospects of a small business owner who dreams of turning a good idea into a thriving enterprise. By the opportunities for a better life that we pass on to our children. That's the project the American people want us to work on. Together."
Mr. Ryan: "On this current path, when my three children – who are now 6, 7, and 8 years old – are raising their own children, the federal government will double in size, and so will the taxes they pay."
The advance text of the speech is out.
After the call to transcend party, Mr. Obama rolls through a litany of voters' fears: "…shuttered windows of once booming factories;" Chinese and Indians "educating their children earlier and longer." Then, he turns on the "naysayers predicting our decline."
It's all a set up for a lengthy defense of continued government involvement in subsidizing alternative energy research, expanding broadband, putting 1 million electric vehicles on the road. All familiar. All unlikely to find much support in the Republican House.
President Obama makes it official: He's calling on Congress to overhaul the corporate tax code — ending loopholes and cutting the 35% top rate. This is a big step in the White House post-election effort to re-boot its relations with Corporate America. It's also one idea — maybe the one idea — that House Republicans have said they could support.
Addendum: Mr. Obama says it's time to overhaul the individual tax code, too. Right after he throws the Left a line about letting tax rates rise for "the wealthiest 2% of Americans."
If Congress takes the bait, this could set up an epic struggle among Washington's many interest groups over the future of the tax code.
Remember Bill Clinton's Reinventing Government? President Obama says he plans to take that to the next level.
Wait for Mr. Obama's Reagan-style riff on the silly overlap among government agencies somewhere in the last third of the speech:
"The Interior Department is in charge of salmon while they're in fresh water, but the Commerce Department handles them in when they're in saltwater. And I hear it gets even more complicated once they're smoked."
With all this talk about "competitiveness," President Obama uses his State of the Union speech to make it pretty clear who the U.S. is competing against:
China and India.
This is from the speech:
"Meanwhile, nations like China and India realized that with some changes of their own, they could compete in this new world. And so they started educating their children earlier and longer, with greater emphasis on math and science. They're investing in research and new technologies. Just recently, China became home to the world's largest private solar research facility, and the world's fastest computer."
Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security – they could face the budget knife too.
President Obama in his speech says reducing health care costs, including the ones in Medicare and Medicaid, has to be part of tackling government spending. He said he's willing to look at different ideas, including "medical malpractice reform to rein in frivolous lawsuits."
Mr. Obama also says there needs to be a "bipartisan solution to strengthen Social Security. " He doesn't really say what that means, but he does say what it doesn't mean. He says it can't put at risk current retirees, the most vulnerable, or people with disabilities."
He says it also can't including "slashing benefits for future generations" or allowing the money to be invested in the stock market.
There are scores of rules about congressional behavior, but there appears to be some confusion about which lapel a ribbon should go on.
Lots of lawmakers are wearing black and white lapel ribbons in honor or Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D., Ariz.).
A quick scan of the lawmakers congregating on the House floor shows how some have decided to pin the ribbon on their left lapel and some have decided to pin the ribbon on their right lapel.
In the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, many lawmakers are choosing to break with tradition tonight and sit beside a member of the opposite party in a show of civility.
One of the more notable pairings is Republican congressman Peter King with fellow New Yorker Anthony Weiner. The two got into an infamous shouting match on the House floor earlier this year in a debate over a health care bill for Ground Zero workers. At one point, Weiner — using the peculiar language of House debate — bellowed at King: "The gentleman is correct in sitting!"
In other words, sit down and shut up. Presumably tonight, both gentlemen are correct in sitting.
But the "sit next to your opponent" approach raises an interesting question: should the rest of the world try to take a lesson from the politicians?
Should Conan O'Brien be forced to sit for an hour next to Jay Leno? Should the two quarterbacks in the upcoming Super Bowl — Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers — be required to sit next to each other at some public event? Should Lindsay Lohan be forced to sit down next to, well, about half of the people in Hollywood?
Who should be forced to sit with whom?
And we're off. Very slowly. Speaker John Boehner introduces lawmakers who will escort President Obama into the chamber. Vice President Joe Biden introduces Senators in the posse. Pomp and circumstance — and a lot of milling around. Such an antique event — especially since huge numbers of people already know what the President will say, thanks to the unruly internet.
Here come the Supremes. There's no scripted reference to them in this speech.
Here's the first few Cabinet members who walked into the House chamber, in order of appearance:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
Attorney General Eric Holder
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack
Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke
Spot Mr. Obama's rhetorical nods to election season antagonists. Here's one: "Our free enterprise system is what drives innovation." That could have been written by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has as one of its slogans: "We are American Free Enterprise. Dream Big."
Here's one industry that will be happy with tonight's speech: Biofuels producers. Companies trying to concoct vehicle fuels out of corn, yard waste, cooking oil and other things that aren't petroleum have had a rough ride. Even former Vice President Al Gore has turned on corn ethanol as a fuel. But Mr. Obama says: "With more research and incentives, we can break our dependence on oil with biofuels…"
The president is offering several olive branches to Republicans tonight, including his support for medical malpractice reform. One of the GOP's biggest complaints about the health care law passed by the Democratic Congress is that it did not address concerns about the high cost of health-related lawsuits.
Yet in agreeing with the Republicans, Obama is also pushing the issue away, because while he mentions malpractice reform, a White House fact sheet released with the speech makes clear it is a change of state laws that he is backing.
That is a crucial political and policy point. Politically, Obama is embracing the idea of limits on malpractice suits at the same time he is arguing it is not Washington's problem to deal with. On the policy level, there is a view that since most malpractice suits are filed in state, not federal courts, state laws are the ones that would need to be changed.
Speaker of the House John Boehner has switched his lapel ribbon so that it's on the same side as Vice President Joe Biden. It's sort of crooked, but let's not get too picky.
Mr. Obama is working his way to the podium…..shaking hands. Big smiles. Greeting members of the Supreme Court. A friendly vibe…so far.
first reference to "jobs" at 9:16 p.m.
second and third reference to "jobs" – 9:17 p.m.
Obama: "We will move forward together, or not at all."
The problem is, which way is "forward?" As we'll hear later from Rep. Paul Ryan's GOP response, there's a big divide on that point. That's the core of the debate.
Applause for "America still has the largest most prosperous economy in the world."
Then, a dig at Chinese education: "..our students don't just memorize equations."
Will that reassure all the parents worried that Tiger Mom Amy Chua may be right?
Was someone trying to clap for the shout-out to Facebook?
The Sputnik moment line gets….no applause.
Mr. Obama still believes in government — calling out the business that got through the recession with the help of a government loan..
As my colleague Joe White points out, the Democratic White House and the House GOP are very much divided about which is the right way forward, sort of like that old joke, when you come to a fork in the road, take it.
The disagreement includes the road itself. Take earmarks for infrastructure spending. Both Obama and Republicans say they are wasteful. Obama is again pushing the creation of an infrastructure bank, an idea that is popular among New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others who say it would provide a business-like approach to building, and depoliticize the process of lawmakers more interested in dumping federal dollars into their district than making the smartest investments. Republicans, however, say the way to stop wasteful spending is to just stop spending.
President Obama is trying to hit an upbeat theme in this speech. But one word he uses twice tonight is "painful." He uses it first when he referenced the changes Americans have had to go through in the economy. The second time he uses the word he's talking about the spending cuts that are on the horizon.
Oil companies still get the back of the presidential hand. He calls for raising taxes on oil — 'yesterday's energy."
Big Oil has defeated this proposal before, and with gas prices rising, Mr. Obama could find it tough to explain a move to make oil more expensive.
By the end of the night, President Obama will have used the word "future" 15 times.
In the section on schools, note the bow toward state and local control and the critical reference to "top-down" mandates. Another example of Mr. Obama borrowing the rhetoric of the other side to make his own case.
The President is clearly trying to make the case for how federal spending can be used as an incentive. First, he referenced how it could encourage companies to innovate. "We'll fund the Apollo Projects of our time," he said. Then he talked about using the money to push schools to improve themselves.
Nerds of the world, unite!
"We need to teach our kids," the president said, "that it's not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair."
The country needs to get smarter, and to do that, the president argued, we will need to hire 100,000 more teachers over the next ten years in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
"To every young person listening tonight who's contemplating their career choice: If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you," Obama said.
The suggestion drew sustained applause.
Big applause for the line: "Become a teacher, your country needs you."
Unexpected career advice from POTUS – "If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you."
The words "child" or "children" appear in this speech 15 times.
I'm sure some of those teachers President Obama was just talking about might nitpick with this line.
"Countries in Europe and Russia invest more in their roads and railways than we do."
There aren't countries in Russia, unless he knows something the rest of us don't.
South Korea has faster internet….China has faster trains…U.S. infrastructure gets a D.
Mr. Obama says he wants to "redouble" efforts on infrastructure. He doesn't say what that means or where the money will come from. Remember, he's opposed to a higher gas tax. Maybe we should be thankful he didn't try to explain the proposed "infrastructure bank."
One by-product of the mixed seating arrangements: It's harder to tell which party is applauding what lines.
His nuance on the corporate tax rate stuff is important.
He says get rid of the loopholes (that means get rid of tax breaks).
"Use the savings to lower the corporate tax rate for the first time in 25 years – without adding to our deficit."
In other words, he's drawing a line in the sand: aggregate revenue from corporate taxes won't go up or down. He won't let it add to the deficit.
At last a laugh line:
"Now, I've heard rumors that a few of you have some concerns about the new health care law."
Mr. Obama's offering no real quarter on health care. Dump the hated 1099 filing requirement? Sure. Gut the core of the bill? Forget it.
"So instead of re-fighting the battles of the last two years, let's fix what needs fixing and move forward."
Government spending "not sustainable," President Obama says. "Every day, families sacrifice to live within their means. They deserve a government that does the same."
Damian's right about the complexity of the corporate tax issue. It's significant that the president is willing to start the process. But for a lot of companies, paying a low flat rate means a big tax increase.
Wow, really muted response to the five-year freeze proposal.
A tepid response to the five year spending freeze line.
Closing in on 45 minutes. Lots to go. Wading now into cautious generalities about trimming Medicare and Medicaid spending and seeking a "bipartisan solution to strengthen Social Security for future generations."
"Whims of the stock market" is Democrat code for "private Social Security accounts"
Another spending issue where the president is clearly at odds with Republicans — and not backing down — is trains.
Obama said that within 25 years, 80% of Americans should have access to high speed rail service "which could allow you to go places in half the time it takes to travel by car. For some trips, it will be faster than flying – without the pat-down. As we speak, routes in California and the Midwest are already underway."
Many House Republicans want to spike those plans. Not only do they want to yank funding for high speed rail, they also want to eliminate $1.6 billion that went to Amtrak in 2009 to help it maintain national passenger service.
Such cuts would likely force Amtrak to significantly reduce its service outside the heavily used lines along the coasts. Conservatives have long argued it is wasteful to operate such lines at a loss and force taxpayers to subsidize them. Democrats are vigorous defenders of the rail service, saying that it is a bargain compared to the many billions more of taxpayer dollars spent every year on roads and air travel.
Democrats stand to applaud Mr. Obama's attack on the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Behind the president only Biden applauds that.
When he calls to simplify the individual tax code, both Biden and Boehner applaud.
How would you like to be one of the 12 agencies that deals with exports right now?
Should be a good read: President Obama promises a "proposal to merge, consolidate, and reorganize the federal government in a way that best serves the goal of a more competitive America."
Veto threat – any bill with earmarks isn't getting signed into law.
The president says he'll veto bills that contain earmarks. McCain applauds. Nice theater.
At last we arrive at Iraq and Afghanistan. "The Iraq war is coming to an end" gets a smattering of applause. More applause for the line that in July troops will start leaving Afghanistan. Mr. Obama doesn't connect the wars to budget woes, but others will, including many in his party.
President Obama announces his first trip to South America. In March, he's headed to Brazil, Chile, and El Salvador "to forge new alliances for progress in the Americas."
Mr. Obama painting a positive picture of the U.S. standing and relations around the world – much sunnier than recent headlines might suggest.
Mr. Obama says the U.S. stands with the people of Tunisia. No mention of today's upheaval in Egypt.
Mr. Obama says the U.S. stands with the people of Tunisia. No mention of today's upheaval in Egypt.
President Obama calls on college campuses to allow military recruiters and the ROTC on campus after repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
Another one for the GOP: Calling for colleges to ROTC now that Congress has repealed Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Reading over the full text of the Republican response to the State of the Union by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, one section jumps out, and it is another sign of how wide the divide will be when they try to craft an actual budget compromise.
Ryan is warning that if the U.S. doesn't make drastic changes, it will face the kind of fiscal pain that has sparked large-scale turmoil in some European countries.
"Just take a look at what's happening to Greece, Ireland, the United Kingdom and other nations in Europe. They didn't act soon enough, and now their governments have been forced to impose painful austerity measures: large benefit cuts to seniors and huge tax increases on everybody. Their day of reckoning has arrived. Ours is around the corner. That is why we have to act now," says Ryan.
As a sidenote, it's an interesting reversal of postures for the two major parties: on many issues, such as health care, Republicans often insist on American exceptionalism, the notion that the United States is a singular country that is categorically different than many others, and should remain so. Democrats often counter that the United States should follow the lead of western European nations that have national health care or other programs.
Yet in the budget battle, the Republicans are showing an ideological affinity with the more European-style calls for austerity, while it is the Democrats who are implicitly invoking some kind of American exceptionalism.
The speech is now heading for Clintonesque length. Mr. Obama is rounding to the stretch run.
Obama almost gets Boehner with this line:
"That dream is why someone who began by sweeping the floors of his father's Cincinnati bar can preside as Speaker of the House in the greatest nation on Earth."
Biden shakes Boehner's hand. The speaker retains his composure.
"We do big things" – the payoff line set up by pointing up to Brandon Fisher, founder of the Pennsylvania company that developed the drilling gear that saved the Chilean miners.
It's over, after more than an hour.
That was Council of Economic Advisers head Austan Goolsbee and National Economic Council director Gene Sperling who were sitting right off the stage and got immediate handshakes after the speech. Both were heavily involved in writing the State of the Union.
Main takeaway on deficit and spending cuts: President Obama spared little when he talked about things that might get cut. But he didn't get too specific when he said what would get cut.
Another theme Paul Ryan hits repeatedly in his Republican response to the State of the Union is the idea that whether Democrats talk about "investment" or "stimulus," what they're really talking about is wasteful spending, and debt.
"Our debt is out of control. What was a fiscal challenge is now a fiscal crisis," says Ryan. "We cannot deny it; instead we must, as Americans, confront it responsibly. And that is exactly what Republicans pledge to do."
An impression, and only that: the mixed seating of tonight's speech made a difference, in that you saw less of the prolonged 'huzzahs' and standing ovations on partisan talking points that were evident in such speeches over the past decade.
The tradition has long been that when the president comes to a point that is dear to his party — in this case, say, the DREAM act reference — members of his party felt obligated to stand and loudly applaud to make a televised point about the party's fealty to the cause.
Tonight, it felt like there was much less of that, because the parties were intermingled.
Now, Rep. Paul Ryan (R.,-Wisc.,) delivers the Republican response — he's soft spoken, gracious (some of Obama's words about spending "were reassuring,") and then the upper cut: "He engaged in a stimulus spending spree."
Rep. Paul Ryan, in Republican response: reducing spending "imperative." He says rising debt is one of his "greatest concerns as a parent." Refers to the 2009 economic stimulus package as a "stimulus spending spree."
Ryan's got the gloves off now: "Health care spending is driving the explosive growth of our debt. And the President's law is accelerating our country toward bankruptcy."
Rep. Ryan said Republicans will push to replace health care law with "fiscally responsible, patient-centered reforms."
Ryan zaps the Democratic Congress for its failure to pass a budget.
Rep. Ryan: "We believe the government's role is both vital and limited." He makes several references to "founders," the Constitution, and Declaration of Independence.
Rep. Ryan doesn't offer any clues on Republican strategy regarding the debt ceiling, only to say that spending cuts must come first.
Ryan's outlining the GOP idea of limited government as if it's unfamiliar to his listeners. He's reintroducing the GOP philosophy.
Rep. Ryan warns about us following in the fiscal footsteps of Greece, Ireland, and United Kingdom. "They're day of reckoning has arrived. Ours is around the corner."
Ryan's speech turns dark. The nation is "at a tipping point;" the social safety net "lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency;" and "we still have time..but not much time." A long way from the optimism Obama tried to convey in his speech.
Ryan clocks in at just under 11 minutes. His speech is mainly a statement of principles, not a detailed explanation of what the GOP would do differently. No soaring rhetoric. The political equivalent of a tough love talk. The battle lines are drawn for the coming year. Very civil. Very far apart.

Albrecht Dürer's hat
I want Albrecht Dürer's hat. The hat is the one in this self-portrait. I would like to make a replica of this hat. It looks fairly simple at a glance, but examining it closely, I can't figure out how it's constructed. Other paintings or illustrations of this type of hat would be helpful, too.

mystery painting
Can anyone identify the artist, title, and location of this artwork? (It's a cropping of a larger work, and it may be a version of the Last Judgement, that's all I know....)
Historical fiction featuring Renaissance popes?
I've been reading Barbara Tuchman's The March of Folly, an account of notable historical episodes where governing bodies persisted in the pursuit of policies contrary to the interests of the governed. Among the most amusing and weird episodes is the history of the papacy in the decades around 1500 -- when popes led troops in battle, presided over orgies, and generally fiddled while Rome was about to be sacked (in 1527). Anyone know of a really sprightly historical novel on this subject?
Anyone know about old type faces?
I'm reading a French text printed in Paris in 1527. The language is clear enough, no less intuitive than Olde Englysh, but the typography can be a poser. Can anyone recommend a particularly good reference text (or web site) that lists the various abbreviations, letter, and number variations, that keep cropping up?
renaissance florence reading?
NovelFilter: I just finished Romola, by Eliot, and didn't love it, but want to learn more about Florence in the era--a very interesting time, to put it mildly--with the Medicis, Savanarola, etc. Any good novels or non-boring non-fiction on Florence in the late 1400s-early 1500s?
