Angels and Demons: What's Fact – or Fiction?
Originally posted 05/18/2009 11:10AM
Just as he blended fact and fiction in his earlier, controversial book-to-film, The Da Vinci Code, so does novelist Dan Brown concoct a sometimes confusing plot for Angels and Demons, the past weekend's No. 1 movie.
Author to Revive Da Vinci Code Hero in New Book
Originally posted 04/20/2009 03:10PM
As long promised, The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown is putting his hero, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, back to work. Random House will release 5 million copies of Langdon's latest adventure, to be titled The Lost Symbol, on Sept. 15, reports the book-industry trade publication Publishers Weekly.
The plot covers half a day in the life of Langdon. "Weaving five years of research into the story's 12-hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge," the notoriously reclusive Brown, 44, is quoted as saying in a statement. "Robert Langdon's life clearly moves a lot faster than mine."

IOWA CITY, Iowa - The Iowa basketball team is showing a lot of signs of improvement. If you consider recruiting in the Class of 2014, however, it's obvious that more growth is needed.
Fran McCaffery and his staff have filled just one (Brady Ellingson) of the four available scholarships available to them in this cycle with signing day about a month away. For the most part, the prospects they've missed out on have taken their talents to more established programs.
"There's a clear improvement, but I think we kind of have to keep moving the needle to the point where we really get the full effect of it in recruiting," McCaffery said at Wednesday's media day.
Steve Alford began the decline of basketball at Iowa during his seven seasons at the helm. He was replaced by Todd Lickliter, who further drove the program into the ground, fueling apathy and slumping attendance.
McCaffery was brought in three seasons ago to restore respect to a once-proud program. The Hawkeyes have increased their win total in each of those campaigns, culminating in 25 wins and a trip to the NIT Championship game in March.
While the progress has energized the fan base and inspired national analysts to dub it as a program on the rise, the improvements haven't trickled down to the recruits outside of the state and its near boarders. Convincing Adam Woodbury, Mike Gesell and Peter Jok to become Hawkeyes proved important but the local waters run only so deep. It's been illustrated in McCaffery casting a wide web in recruiting from coast to coast.
Iowa is competing against schools regularly in the NCAA Tournament. Those schools often play nationally televised games and reside in the consciousness of top prospects.
Iowa followers notice the strides made by McCaffery. That's more difficult for the top prospects to recognize. When they look at it, they see a school that last made the NCAA Tournament in 2005-06, when they were finishing up elementary school. The Hawkeyes next win in the sport's top event will be its first since '01.
Tyler Ulis served as the extreme example of Iowa's need to continue climbing the mountain in order to secure higher-level talent. The Chicago-area point guard chose Kentucky instead of the Hawkeyes despite McCaffery applying full-court pressure since early in the recruiting process.
In the end, Ulis said he probably would have ended up at Iowa had the Wildcats not offered him a scholarship late in the summer. That still may have been the case even if Iowa made the Big Dance a year ago. The Hawkeyes haven't won a lot of recruiting battles with college basketball's Blue Bloods throughout the years nor have most schools.
Iowa should, and needs to, win out with programs to which it compares favorably in terms of facilities and exposure. Returning to the NCAA Tournament on a regular basis makes that happen.
Consider some of the '14 players offered scholarships by the Hawkeyes but picked other institutions: Lourawls Nairn (Michigan State), Riley LaChance (Vanderbilt), Malek Harris (Marquette), Larry Austin (Tennessee), Sandy Cohen (Marquette) and Jordan Barnett (Texas). All of those schools have enjoyed more success in the last 13 years (three NCAA bids) than has Iowa, who reached the Big Dance 16 times in 21 seasons from 1979-1999.
"Any time you can continue to make progress, and that obviously would be indicated by an NCAA bid, more TV games, more ESPN games, more CBS games, one thing leads to another, and that's what affects recruiting," McCaffery said. "It's the reality of the situation. That's what people are talking about, and when prospects watch TV, that's what they hear. If we are one of the teams that's in, that will really help us.
"Then, of course, the next step is, and hopefully it will happen right away, is not only do you get in but you make some noise when you get in. That even makes it more beneficial in recruiting."
McCaffery refuses to feel sorry for himself or his program with what has transpired in the 2014 class. He's a glass-half-full guy who meets adversity with positivity.
"I never get disappointed," McCaffery said. "Recruiting is an interesting arena. It's a different animal every year.
"You go after some guys. Sometimes you get them. Sometimes you don't. There are enough good players out there that can come in and help us win."
Really, that's what McCaffery believes because he's shown the ability to find contributors off of the radar. He's building without the benefit of four and five star recruits, for the most part, because he's had to.
Aaron White, who chose the Hawkeyes ahead of Duquense, is coming off a summer playing for USA Basketball with a lot of much more highly-recruited talent. As we've seen with the Iowa football program, continuing to find the diamonds in the rough to maintain a high level of success is a difficult chore.
Past battles lost in recruiting could partly be chalked up to lagging facilities. That's changed with the Carver-Hawkeye Arena renovations and a brand spanking new practice gym. LaChance called them "second to none" after his official visit here last month and then chose Vandy.
Iowa targets also aren't heading elsewhere because they see a stacked roster and fear they won't get playing time. Roy Devyn Marble, Melsahn Basabe and Zach McCabe leaving after this winter opens up a lot of minutes. The following year, White, Josh Oglesby and Gabe Olaseni will be seniors during the first season this current recruiting class is on a college campus.
No, it boils down to winning. As the saying goes, it's not the only thing. But it's the most important thing in recruiting.
With these key performers' eligibility closer to expiring, it's a critical time for recruiting at Iowa. It puts that much more pressure on this upcoming season needing to be a very successful one.
Three main '14 targets still are deciding. Dominique Uhl is planning a Friday announcement. Tory Miller and Jackson Forbes have official visits remaining. Analysts feel like Iowa sits on the outside looking in with Uhl and Miller while Forbes is playing his recruitment pretty close to the vest.
A big winter won't impact that trio as they're expected to sign LOIs next month. The way things sit right now, Ellingson could be the Hawkeyes' lone signee during the early period (Nov. 13-20). That would leave three scholarships open for the late period (April 16-May 21).
Perhaps Iowa would be best served waiting until the spring rather than reaching in this early period. A strong season will open doors with late bloomers and other players available in April. It also gives McCaffery a better idea of his needs after watching his current squad's campaign play out.
McCaffery did the right thing aiming high and mixing it up with the tough competition for prospects. They're what he required to take the program to where he wants. It's just not there yet.

Proven fact. All this did today after listening to the CC is creating a buying opportunity that was not there 2/3/10 days ago. Some of you act like you would rather be paying 3.00 more a share for the same product that is still in the ground and will come out in late 2012 or 2013. I can stand on my head for a year.
The silver in the ground doesn't disappear like an oil spill. It is still there.
5 star insults
tj.....now back them up.
I am formalizing 3 estate plans tomorrow and conducting an initial consultation.
I am sorry you do not like my drivel....I must be doing something right to cause someone as important as you to respond.
My portfolio is slightly green in the past twelve months.
I have taken some hits but I have also sold into strength. Although my resource holdings are overall only up slightly year over year....a few significant things have happened:
1) Factoring out additional cash deposits...I have more than doubled the # of shares I hold in favored companies.
2) Many of my favored companies are expanding reserves.
3) Finally, the macro economic reasons why one should be focused on resource stocks have intensified in the last year not resolved. Europe is a mess and distracting us from our own economic mayhem.
I focus # of ounces owned and # of shares owned in quality companies....as opposed to focusing on what they are worth in terms of USD. After all a USD worth is subjective relative to how many of them exist. I would rather own a small amount of something it takes manly men blood, sweat and tears to find and unearth.....compared to a whole lot of what the Federal Reserve can keystroke into existence.
It can be said that the miners have a history of diluting the shares of the company...however it is far easier to negotiate these bid-ask waters because choice of management is far easier an issue to resolve than the seemingly ubiquitous monetary medium of exchange.
Can you please check my spelling....I have been known to misssspell!
Inconsistent? Moron. You've claimed to be a practicing attorney yet your messages repeatedly misstate basic principles of law and procedure. You claim to be a financial adviser yet your stock picks have only lost money, as documented by your own idiotic boasts. You ramble in drunken rushes of incoherent pijin English while contradicting your own archived messages on a 3 week cycle of drivel.
I challenge you to find anything in my thread inconsistant with my previous post!
Knock yourself out! I will give you a hint you won't.
The powers that be will not let the mines move. I sold Hecla years ago at 7.25 and I have not been back since. Miners are being heavily shorted, and there is nothing retail investors like us can do about it. Buy physical and you will save yourself a lot of suffering. http://blog.milesfranklin.com/category/authors/andrew-hoffman
Make sure to read the part from "Dan" sent to Bill Murphy's GATA website. You don't have to take my advice though. It doesn't affect me either way. I'm just trying to help my fellow PM investors out.
yes, the silver is in the ground... it just cost $100.00 an ounce to dig it up after clean up costs...
Make that a few years. I bet this Lucky Friday silver may never be coming out of the ground.
Every variable that constitutes a barrier to converting a resource into inventory makes physical silver and viable production all that more valuable.
It will be interesting as the balance between legitimate environmental and safety concerns decreases production how soon JPM/CME will realize they need all the production they can get. Therefore, solely for the almighty dollar the dogs will be called off.
This will mean once again US silver mine production will not be enough to supply the Silver Eagle production. Recyclers better get busy! WE BUY SILVER HERE!!!!

Maui County has a realistic shot at sweeping the four divisions at Saturday's state canoe regatta in Hilo.
It's an exciting goal for the clubs that battle each other on the water all regular season, then come together as an island for the final race.
Hawaiian Canoe Club, which won a 25th straight Maui County Hawaiian Canoe Association title this year, has 37 crews in the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association championship, most of the seven clubs in the AAAA Division. Hawaiian had a run of seven consecutive state titles stopped last year, and is seeking its ninth championship in 11 years.

Kihei Canoe Club, whose Amity Mason is shown after helping her crew win a mixed novice B race earlier this month, has 19 crews qualified for Saturday's state regatta — second-most in the AAA Division.
Kihei Canoe Club is taking 19 crews, tied with Kaneohe for second in the five-club AAA Division, one behind Puna.
In the nine-club AA Division, Lae Ula Kai is one of six with the maximum 12 crews.
Kahana has six crews, tied for most in the A Division with five other clubs. Wailea is one of five clubs with five crews.

''Most of our master's division have good lanes from first seeds here on Maui and good chances of placing high,'' said Ricky Balidoy who shares the title of Lae Ula O Kai head coach with his wife, Sharon. ''Our 55 men have the fastest time in the state right now, so we're looking to take first in the event. We're excited.''
Napili is taking four crews, and coach Joey Tihada said the club's primary concern isn't finishing atop the A Division.
''Our focus is not really to go out there and win the (division) championship,'' he said. ''We just want to go out there and represent Maui as best as we can, paddle our best and have a good time.''
Kihei coach Kawika Williams remembers Maui's sweep of the three-division state regatta in 2004.
''The last time, the first and only time, after the regatta it was 7:30 or so and we were all feeling good,'' Williams said. ''We were all staying at the same hotel and everyone was out standing on the balcony chanting 'Maui, Maui.' It was unreal.''
Williams is excited about the possibility of another all-Maui championship.
''It's a pretty rare thing to do,'' he said. ''But the chance is definitely there. Hopefully we can pull it off again. We're all really excited at our chance to win the triple-A division. Puna's pretty tough to beat, but it will be fun. Super exciting.''
Williams said Hawaiian's success at the state level has challenged and subsequently improved all of Maui County's clubs.
''After competing against each other all season (we) all try to stay close at states,'' Williams said. ''For many, many years it was always the Oahu teams that would dominate the competition, but then Hawaiian started winning. Once that happened, the level of talent across Maui stepped up. Maybe it sounds kind of crazy, but all of our training and the caliber in which we train is a lot different now. Maui became a real competitor in the past seven, eight years. A lot of us have our own koa canoes to race when before we had to borrow Oahu teams' ones.
''With the canoes it makes a difference because we'd always get the second canoe. Now we have our own. There's a lot of things that have really changed and improved on Maui over the years and I think a lot of it has to do with the inspiration we all got when we saw Hawaiian win and are pushed by them throughout the season.''
Balidoy said the home-island clubs could be a factor.
''I'm not predicting anything,'' he said. ''A sweep would be pretty awesome. We'll see how it goes. The Big Island is tough and their crews are strong this year. Maui does have a lot of strong teams, though, and we're well represented across the board.''

Talking With...george Segal
Nick Fallin juggles his career as a hotshot corporate lawyer in Pittsburgh with his court-ordered community service as a children's advocate. (He reluctantly chose to put in 1,500 hours of pro bono work rather than face disbarment for a drug conviction.) Nick's life sounds exciting—or at least nerve-racking—but you'd never know it to study the face of Australian actor Simon Baker (Red Planet), who has the lead in this new series. Baker looks equally disengaged whether he's playing arrogance, confusion or concern.
Plotting on The Guardian has shown improvement since the premiere in late September. The third episode presented an intriguing situation—custody and paternity issues surrounding the wheelchair-bound son of a prostitute—and resisted the temptation to resolve it too neatly. Characterization, on the other hand, is still a weakness. Nick seems hardly more than a construct, a walking pretext for two kinds of legal drama. It might help if he had more meaningful interaction with Burton Fallin (Dabney Coleman), his father and law-firm boss. Granted, Burton isn't made out to be the warm, communicative type, but would it kill him to ask an occasional question about Nick's personal life? Over at Children's Legal Services, Nick's relationship with supervisor Alvin Masterson (Alan Rosenberg) has been marked by unrelieved antagonism. Masterson needs to develop some redeeming features or we'll wonder how he became a do-gooder in the first place.
In the end, though, tinkering around the edges won't be enough to ensure The Guardian's future if Baker's performance remains a void at the center of the drama.
Bottom Line: Unpersuasive advocate
UPN (Wednesdays, 8 p.m. ET)
Whenever I reflect on the original Star Trek—something I try to do at least once in a blue moon—I wonder what Spock would have been like as a woman. This latest Trek spinoff, an unspectacular prequel to the 1960s series that started the whole TV and movie franchise, satisfies my mild curiosity by introducing T'Pol (Jolene Blalock), a female Vulcan with pointy ears and pouty, glossy lips. T'Pol is second in command to Jonathan Archer (ex-Quantum Leap star Scott Bakula), the he-manly captain of the starship Enterprise NX-01 in the mid-22nd century. In the late-September pilot T'Pol chided Archer for his "provincial attitudes" and "volatile nature," while he took critical note of her "Vulcan cynicism" and "repressed emotions." Is it me or do you sense sexual tension?
Luckily for UPN millions of Trekkers are deaf to the mockery of skeptics. Myself, I don't accept the ship's doctor (John Billingsley) as an alien just because he looks as if he has two snakes glued to his forehead. I felt cheated at the end of episode 2 when a race of androgynous beings with a 400-year life span was solely represented by a guy in standard-issue alien makeup. And I have a "seen one, seen 'em all" attitude toward laser-gun battles. To make new fans, show more enterprise.
Bottom Line: Goes not so boldly
NBC (Sundays, 9 p.m. ET)
Show of the week
Early this month a Saturday Night Live parody called Law & Order: Parking Violations Unit cleverly suggested that the NBC schedule suffers from L&O overload. But thanks to the mesmerizing performance of Vincent D'Onofrio as New York City Det. Bobby Goren, this new series enhances the value of the brand.
Criminal Intent is designed to distinguish itself from the original Law & Order and its Special Victims Unit offshoot by devoting more time to the wrongdoer's point of view. This added emphasis on the perp is good news for a guest actor like Griffin Dunne, wonderfully slimy in the Oct. 21 episode as a murderous lawyer with multiple addictions. D'Onofrio, though, is unquestionably the star of the show.
D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Men in Black) was unforgettable in a 1997 episode of Homicide: Life on the Street as a commuter angrily facing death after being pushed off a subway platform. Now he's playing a cop potentially as fascinating as Andre Braugher's Frank Pembleton on that departed series. Goren is a man of wide-ranging knowledge—from art to automobiles—but his insight into the criminal mind is awesome for someone who acknowledges taking only "a few psychology courses in college." Shouting or whispering, accusing or sympathizing, gesticulating or just raising an eyebrow, he displays an unerring instinct for a suspect's sensitive spots. You have a right to remain silent, but he makes it so hard.
Kathryn Erbe (an executed killer on Oz last year) complements D'Onofrio effectively as his plain-spoken partner, while Jamey Sheridan snaps clichéd commands as their superior. The assistant D.A., coolly played by Courtney B. Vance, seems like one character Goren can't outwit.
Bottom Line: Top cop drama
The WB (Fridays, 9 p.m. ET)
When I heard that Reba McEntire was doing a series called Reba, I feared she'd be playing a country-and-western star with a patient husband, a couple of moderately mischievous children and a penchant for singin' in the kitchen. Turns out fictional Reba Hart is a Texas mother of three who discovered in the pilot that her teenage daughter (JoAnna Garcia) and her estranged husband's girlfriend (Melissa Peterman) were both pregnant. A fine howdy-do, and a partly pleasant surprise.
Subtlety is not a hallmark of the writing, nor of Christopher Rich's performance as Reba's faithless spouse. McEntire delivers some lines too carefully, as if reminding herself which words to emphasize. But the star has a straightforward quality that makes her character seem real by sitcom standards, and humor should flow steadily from the relationship between Reba and her new son-in-law (Steve Howey), a genially obtuse high school athlete who moves into the Hart house with his exercise machine and his inspiring poster of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Bottom Line: Give the gal a try

>When George Segal saw Lee J. Cobb in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman on Broadway in 1949, he was riveted. "My father was a salesman and took us to see it," says the Just Shoot Me star, whose father sold beer hops and malt door-to-door in New England. "Getting in the car after the show, there was such silence. It wasn't just because my dad was a salesman—it was much bigger than that. I thought, 'Wow, you can be that good at something.' We'd never seen acting like that."
Nor did Segal foresee that he'd be starring opposite Cobb in the 1966 Emmy-winning TV adaptation. "[Cobb] really brought my game up," says Segal, who played Biff to Cobb's Willy Loman. Watching the cable special, which airs for the first time in 28 years Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. on Trio, Segal, 67, was astonished. "I've always been in this body, so I think I still look like that," says the L.A. resident. "I'm surprised when I look in the mirror that I'm old!"
Lately he has been acting more like a lovestruck teenager, having married high school sweetheart Sonia, 68, five years ago. After graduation in 1951, "we went in different directions," says Segal. When he went to visit her after his wife's death, "We just kind of fell into each other's arms, and have been together ever since. We're still on our honeymoon."

From today's paper, my review of Paranoid: "There is something effectively cold-sweat-inducing about receiving a Saturday-night text message to confirm a secret meeting place the following afternoon in the city centre for a Fringe performance, with the addition of: "Paranoid? You should be."
Factor in the show's proviso, that anyone you meet over the 90 minutes of Paranoia may be in on the act, and you're guaranteed clammy palms and a mind ripe for messing with. Despite that, and for all its convincing performances and quirky set pieces, Paranoid ultimately squanders the excitement of its mysterious set-up. While the premise – the sole audience member is taken through Dublin's streets without any warning of what's around the next corner – is novel and compelling, the theatrical strands fail to come together to produce any coherent whole, or even the promised, and by the end of the show, strangely desirable, state of paranoia."

Two Seventh Street women, related through marriage, were charged with first-degree assault after attacking a neighbor Wednesday afternoon, causing head and neck injuries that sent her to Erie County Medical Center.
Yareska Duprey-Diaz, 29, and Zuleyka M. Anaya-Duprey, 18, were arrested by Officers Richard Manley and Ibrahim H. Abdul-Wahed about 4:30 p.m. in the 400 block of Seventh Street.
After the officers responded to a 911 call about "neighbor trouble," the victim said she had been attacked with a dark-handled knife that caused lacerations on her head and neck and was slapped, punched and kicked by the two women.

Acer Aspire S7-391-6810
Average of 4 scores (from 5 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer Aspire S7-391-6810
Source: Tweaktown
This Ultrabook is definitely one of the best I've used, though the keyboard still leaves some to be desired. It's got the best screen I've seen an Ultrabook equipped with, a 1080p IPS screen. It's a gorgeous screen to look at and should be capable of doing color-sensitive work such as photo editing. If you do need a capable yet portable machine that has an IPS screen, then I think you may have found your match. I would still advise you to find one in a store where you could test out the keyboard for yourself. I can recommend this machine, unlike its smaller brother. It really is a premium machine.

The Acer Aspire S7 sure does win at Windows 8. It's a lovely machine that we're very fond of. But it's the price that costs this Ultrabook scores on the board. Trim it back in line with its competitors and it'd pick up a whole extra star. If price is no object, the S7 scores high, but for the more realistic buyer the price just isn't right, so we can't award a Brucey bonus to this Ultrabook as it stands.

The Acer Aspire S7-391 is a new Windows 8-toating ultraportable that features an eye-catching, stunningly thin design. It also has a touch screen, so it makes complete use of the new Windows 8 operating system. We did like the performance the S7 offered but battery life could have been better.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - The "Seven Sisters" and the Oil of the Middle East (Second of 2 parts)
This week on New World Notes: radio program #273, June 4, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst looks at international oil politics.
The "Seven Sisters" was Big Oil. It was the cartel of huge private corporations that ended up owning almost all the oil in the Middle East. They stole and kept this treasure by hook and by crook, in violation of many laws, with help from corrupt monarchs abroad and muscle from the U.S. government, armed forces, and CIA.
We adapt to radio a new video documentary. This week, Part 2 of the documentary takes us from the creation of OPEC in 1960 to the fate of Iraq today (its oil weath again taken away from the Iraqi people and again handed over to the big oil companies).
Includes the Suez crisis, OPEC price hikes, Iraq's nationalizing its oil in 1972 (succeeding where Iran in 1953 had failed), the Iranian revolution, and Gulf Wars I and II.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "aegis") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening. The show is archived at both A-Infos Radio Project and (from #90 onwards) the Internet Archive. Either link should get you a reverse-chronological listing of available installments. Or browse the show's Web site: Each installment has a page; each page has links to the recorded audio; and a handy table of contents will quickly find the installment you want.

The extensiveness of a lesion may determine its seriousness. In burns and scalds, the importance of extent of lesion has long been recognized. Sixty-three years ago, Timothy Holmes1 said, "These injuries have been variously classified, into four divisions by Heister and Callisen, into six by Dupuytren, and various other divisions have been proposed; all of them indicating the depth of tissue implicated in the injury . . . but another, and perhaps even more important, consideration is the extent of the burnt surface—a matter which necessarily eludes formal classification."
It is indeed impossible, practically, to determine the actual extent of a lesion. But, what is of greater value, its extensiveness relative to the body surface can be readily estimated. To express such relationship, the lesion must be compared with factors in the body surface which (1) represent the total surface area of the body; (2) maintain a constant relation to each other

By Patrick Tormey
May 12, 2005 | Despite the vast sums invested by the major pharmaceutical companies on R&D, with much of it devoted to sophisticated informatics software and a secure IT infrastructure, most of these companies still rely on the same antiquated technology dating back centuries to the days of Leonardo DaVinci and Francis Bacon to protect their intellectual property (IP): paper notebooks.
The strongest justification for this continued usage of an out-dated technology is the perception that IP protection cannot be managed by electronic systems. Further, there is a concern within pharmaceutical legal departments that without specific representative case law, there is a hesitation to be the first company submitting E-Notebook data in a contested patent case. Could the end of this dilemma be near?
The legal community of internal legal counsel, third-party firms and the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is increasing its involvement in the issue. As the scientific community reacts to the availability of electronic laboratory notebook solutions, the pressure on internal counsel to form an opinion increases. Sometimes, the reaction of internal counsel is to seek external advice as well as look to the USPTO for possible rulings.
Several presenters at the Electronic Notebook Conference, held in January in Atlanta, discussed the viability of collecting laboratory data and information within a fully electronic environment, versus on the traditional paper medium. The consensus was that the case law has already been established. The basis of their arguments forces us not to look specifically for electronic notebooks being used in case law, but to look for examples where electronic evidence has been submitted.
Retired USPTO Chief Administrative Patent Judge Bruce Stoner (now with Greenblum & Bernstein, PLC) presented highlights of the USPTO's new rules (37 CFR ß 41.152(a) and ß 41.200(a); September 13, 2004), which indicate that the Federal Rules of Evidence apply to contested cases. In short, electronic and paper laboratory notebooks will be treated as equivalent evidence.
As a further confirmation of the Office's new rules, James Kanagy, Director e-Commerce & Business Method Patent, GSK, pointed out that in re Jolley (64 USPQ2d 1901, Fed. Cir. 2002), the court upheld the BPAI's decision basing an award of priority in part on an e-mail, which set out materials for solving a lubrication problem occasioned by having to switch to new gaseous propellants. Scientists (who were not co-inventors) who had received the email testified they understood the concept expressed in the e-mail. Consequently the BPAI awarded priority based on this e-mail, and other evidence, a decision the court affirmed.
The legal community has the opportunity to embrace the benefits of electronic solutions that assist in the legibility of data, the enforcement of company signing and witnessing policies and automatic collection of critical data for patents. The time is appropriate for the pharmaceutical industry to embrace electronic management of their most valuable asset — intellectual property.
IP Management: Financial Justification With the myriad of IT projects facing the pharmaceutical industry and the trend to tighten IT spending, can the management of IP via an electronic solution be justified? What metrics should be used to determine success? Do ROI timelines of 12-18 months work? Productivity studies will prove or disprove this, when considering an E-Notebook project. The justification to implement electronic management of intellectual property may be best represented by the cost involved in a typical patent interference/defense. These costs can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for a single interference.
An interference event requiring the delivery of electronic evidence could occur 5-10 years after production and a court case may not require the electronic evidence for as many as 30 years after creation. Although cost savings cannot be realized until what might be considered an unfavorable event in the future, there are other areas where the migration of IP to electronic form adds to the justification.
At the core of a patent claim is the date of first invention. By introducing the behavioral modification amongst their scientists, data archivists and managers, several companies have been able to ensure that all corporate data is captured throughout the invention process, that the data is properly witnessed and that the dates accurately reflect the reality of the invention. There have been patent cases where dates of invention within the same week have meant the difference for a patent claim. For example, at the March 2005 CambridgeSoft European User Group Meeting in London, Dr. David Price of the chemical company Lubrizol, described how a proper third-party electronic witnessing process (via www.ip.com) ensured consistent, irrefutable date-stamping within their electronic system.
Bank SAFE(ty)Recently, the SAFE initiative (Secure Access for Everyone) — created by the pharma industry to establish a common standard for digital identity and signatures for business-to-business and business to regulator transactions — published a new version of its standards. Banks are becoming accredited as issuers of SAFE credentials for the industry. Frank McCarthy (Royal Bank of Scotland) recently presented the benefits a major pharmaceutical company will derive by using the RBS TrustAssured SAFE service in conjunction with an E-Laboratory Notebook. The SAFE initiative has embraced the legal dilemmas by creating a common legal and technical framework for issuance, validation and usage of legally enforceable, regulatory compliant digital signatures now being adopted across the industry.
Productivity increases of 17-25 percent have been measured by top pharmaceutical companies in the areas of data legibility, data quality, data searching/retrieval, collaboration, paper reduction, and experimental setup. These benefits expand should the data be required in a later legal dispute, when the content, data, owner and witness need to be quickly produced and proven. Further, this data is accessed at the desktop via the company's global network versus costly travel to retrieve and review hard to read paper notebooks.
With the continual acceptance of electronic management of IP throughout the pharmaceutical industry, each organization must reflect on the potential savings and increased opportunity to claim first date of invention. Will introducing electronic laboratory notebooks into the R&D process increase the competitive advantage for the early adopters? l

"Over 100 Plant-based Recipes for the Most Nutritious Pizza in the World"
SPECIAL "No More Bull!" and "Heart Healthy Pizza" Offer!!!
While going through some boxes in my office, I found a box full of "No More Bull!" books by Howard Lyman (see description below). I helped edit this book, as well as select and manage the recipe section. What a time interacting with some of the top vegan chefs ever! I've decided to share my find.
I'm offering a copy of "No More Bull!" and MY book (the 1st vegan pizza cook book) "Heart Healthy Pizza: Over 100 Plant-Based Recipes for the Healthiest Pizza in the World" for a special discount. I'm willing to autograph either or both.
Such a deal! You get around 220 vegan recipes.
"NO MORE BULL! The Mad Cowboy Targets America's Worst Enemy: Our Diet"
"Howard Lyman, who told the story of his transition from cattle rancher to vegetarian in Mad Cowboy, exposes the flimsy lies sustaining the meat industry in this new volume. With an update on the Mad Cow threat, an eye-opening discussion of the link between Alzheimer's and meat consumption, and a raucous dissection of the folly of high-protein diets, No More Bull! makes the case for a plant-based diet as clearly and powerfully as it's ever been made.
Featuring over 100 vegan recipes from Howard's friends, cookbook authors, award-winning chefs, and easy-to-follow tips for those transitioning to a vegan or plant-based diet, "No More Bull!" could be the book that changes your life, or the life of someone you love."

Mike Webster, the Hall of Fame center with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was remembered at his funeral yesterday as loving family so much that he treated friends, teammates and even strangers like blood relatives.
Ex-quarterback Terry Bradshaw, one of nine other Steelers Hall of Famers to play on all four Super Bowl championship teams in the 1970s, broke down as he remembered the friend he hadn't seen in more than a year.
"We should never allow the passing of a loved one to be the drawing card to keep our family together," Bradshaw said.

A Burlington County couple allegedly fleeced hundreds of would-be travelers of more than $700,000 between 2007 and 2011 by promising phony vacation deals and used some of the money to buy a luxury house in Marlton, state Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said Tuesday.
Daryl Turner, 41, and his wife, Robyn Bernstein, 43, recruited customers with mass postcard mailings offering complimentary cruises and airfares, but pocketed the hundreds in "fees and surcharges" each customer doled out to qualify, authorities said, announcing charges in a state grand jury indictment.
The pair also promised deep discounts and benefits to those who bought vacation packages, which generally cost between $2,200 and $6,500, while knowing the discounts were unavailable, according to the Attorney General's Office.

Four articles in this issue present initial results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), a nationally representative survey of the prevalence and correlates of DSM-IV disorders. In the first article, Kessler et alArticle show that the majority of Americans meet criteria for at least 1 DSM-IV disorder at some time in their life, with first onset usually occurring either in childhood or in adolescence. Prevalence appears to have increased in recent cohorts.
Wang et alArticle, in a second NCS-R report, show that the vast majority of people with lifetime mental disorders eventually seek treatment if the disorders persist. However, long delays are the norm, ranging between 6 and 8 years for mood disorders and 9 and 23 years for anxiety disorders, with even longer delays among early-onset cases and among people in disadvantaged social positions. The authors conclude that interventions are needed to reduce delays in initial treatment contact.
High prevalence estimates in epidemiological surveys have led to speculation that many community cases are mild. Kessler et alArticle confirm this suspicion in a third NCS-R report, which finds that most cases of 12-month DSM-IV disorder are either mild (40.4%) or moderate (37.3%). The remaining 22.3% are classified as serious. Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a relatively small proportion of cases with high comorbidity.
In the final NCS-R article, Wang et alArticle show that the majority of 12-month cases remain untreated (59.1%). Furthermore, even though a higher proportion of patients in specialty (48.0%) than general medical (12.8%) care receive treatment that exceeds a minimal threshold of adequacy, a majority in both sectors remain undertreated. This is especially true in traditionally underserved groups. These results suggest that interventions are sorely needed to enhance treatment initiation and quality.
Using a large case-control study, Green and colleaguesArticle investigated the possible role of the schizophrenia susceptibility gene, neuregulin 1 (NRG1), in bipolar disorder. They found that NRG1 influenced susceptibility in bipolar disorder, particularly the subset of cases with mood-incongruent psychotic features. Their findings, which demonstrate the existence of biological overlap across the traditional kraepelinian divide, have implications for the understanding of pathogenesis and nosology of the functional psychoses.
Sacco et alArticle demonstrate that cigarette smoking may selectively enhance visuospatial working memory and sustained attention in patients with schizophrenia and that this enhancement may depend on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor stimulation. These findings suggest that smoking-related remediation of neuropsychological deficits may be an important determinant for high rates of smoking in schizophrenia, which may have implications for treatment of nicotine dependence and cognitive deficits in this disorder.
To examine the association between depression and heart rate variability, Gehi et alArticle assessed major depression and 24-hour heart rate variability (HRV) in 873 older adults with stable coronary heart disease. Of these, 195 (22%) had major depression. Overall, they found no evidence of an association between depression and HRV. These findings raise questions about whether low HRV mediates the association between depression and adverse outcomes in patients with stable coronary disease.
Abelson et alArticle examined the impact of a brief cognitive intervention on subjective and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responses to pentagastrin, a cholecystokinin-B agonist that releases cortisol and triggers panic attacks. The intervention attempted to reduce "stress" by enhancing familiarity, coping, and sense of control. It significantly reduced cortisol responses in healthy subjects and in patients with panic disorder and attenuated exaggerated anxiety responses in patients. Familiarity, control, and/or coping can modulate biological stress systems in healthy people, and sensitivity to such factors may shape laboratory abnormalities in psychiatric patients.
Problem and pathological gambling are associated with many negative life events and with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders. Scherrer et alArticle used a cohort and co-twin design to determine if health-related quality of life was impaired in problem and pathological gamblers. Poor quality of life in pathological gamblers is partly explained by genetics, family environment, and co-occurring substance use disorders.
Most investigations of sex differences in Alzheimer disease (AD) focus on differences in risk of disease. Barnes et alArticle used clinical and postmortem data to examine whether the relation between AD pathology and clinical status proximate to death differs for men and women. They found a substantially stronger association between AD pathology and clinical AD in women than in men, suggesting that AD pathology is more likely to be expressed clinically as dementia in women.

We are currently witnessing a radical change in the health care system in the United States as a result of the managed care juggernaut. Driven by the imperative to stem increasing health care costs, managed care seeks to save money by "managing" health care utilization and narrowing the choices available to health care consumers. Although both cost-saving strategies are effective, they also present a potential threat to quality of care. As HEDIS and other measures of quality are revised, physicians must establish guidelines for quality of care that support the burgeoning managed health care environment. In developing these guidelines and measures, two important trends must be acknowledged and addressed. First, managed care was formerly confined mostly to middle class populations but now envelops many more diverse and vulnerable groups, including Medicaid, Medicare, and minority populations [1]. Second, providing care within a managed care environment requires attention to the population of "covered lives" in addition to individual patients.

Stamler, in his editorial in the May 10, 1993, issue of the Archives.1 correctly notes the high mean body mass index and the large proportion of obese Americans. He then goes on to point out that Americans should follow the lead of the Japanese and Chinese and adopt their diet. His evidence regarding the pattern in the United States in diet and obesity is clear. What is not clear from his editorial is that a similar rapid change in dietary, activity, and obesity patterns is occurring in China and Japan. We may wish to follow the traditional diet of pre-World War II China or Japan; however, the diet of modern China and Japan, particularly for middle-and upper-income Chinese and younger age cohorts of Japanese, is changing rapidly and causing great changes in obesity. In other words, we do not want to follow the lead of the Chinese and Japanese.

For those who have been following the project, KernelTrap.org has an
interview with the leader of the Open Graphics Project (me):
An excerpt from the interview:
The Open Graphics Project is a collaboration between the Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS) Community and Tech Source Inc. to develop new 3D
graphics products that are compatible with Free Software, both
philosophically and practically. The project is currently designing an
"open source friendly graphics card" which will offer quality 3D and 2D
acceleration with an impressive feature set at an affordable price,
aiming for availability as early as June of 2005. Though the project
was only started in October of 2004, it has already released the card's
specifications, a design document, and a software model for early
testing and driver development. In this interview, Timothy provides a
wealth of information about the project and its current status,
highlights contributions needed from the free and open source
community, and fully describes the specific capabilities of the card.

The Noticing Journal {an Altered Book Journal} #2/
One of the things I've been trying to figure out is how to draw thinner opaque lines in acrylics. I found Golden Airbrush Colorsand after doing a bit of research learned that they are not just for airbrushes! They are as intense and saturated as fluid acrylics but not as thick so these remind me of ink rather than paint.
the famous coca cola logo, my favorite yet forbidden pop
I used a flat paint brush to paint these pages in my new altered book (my Noticing Journal, to remind me to notice the little things) with air brush paints in blues and whites, with a little off white fluid acrylic. Then I took a paper towel which was saturated wth reds and magentas from dabbing another page and smashed that onto this page. The little dots are from the paper towels!
before collage + lettering
drawing in a cafe, one of my favorite luxuries
after collage + lettering with airbrush acrylics and edged with a white uniball marker
This is the true joy of the airbrush colors, squeezing the bottle (see the lids? they turn to let more or less paint out) and squiggling over the page, letting the colors run together. Wow! I smashed the pages together a bit in the process with fun results. I didn't use a brush at all on these two pages.
These pages have textured gesso as a base layer, squeezed airbrush acrylics, painted in a dreamy way with a round brush. These just rock.
more backgrounds, playing with reds and oranges and whites and pinks
Played around here with greens and yellows in the airbrush acrylics mixed with an off white in fluid acrylics. You can mix and match. So testing the new airbrush acrylics I'd purchase is my "thing" for the creativity queue challenge and an art material I highly recommend.

Lake Oswego Tidbits
Lake Oswego, Oregon's history begins in the manner common to Northeast cities. It all started thousands of years ago, when Native Americans roamed the land in vast numbers. The tribe common to this area in particular was the Clackamas tribe. When Lewis and Clark came through this part of Oregon, they spent some time interacting with the Clackamas Indians. In 1806 their numbers were nearly 2,000. However, as white development progressed into the 19th century, many of their numbers were killed off due to exposition to new diseases. By the time pioneers officially settled the area, the population was down less than a hundred. In 1855, the remaining Clackamas Indians were relocated to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation.
Iron ore was discovered in the area in 1841. By that time, small farms dotted the area with no formal connection or boundaries grouping them. The boundaries of the town, "Oswego" were formed in 1847. The man responsible, Albert Alonzo Durham, decided to name the town after the already established city in New York. He also was the man behind the town's first industrial equipment: a saw mill. Oswego was eligible under the Donation Land Claim Act of 1850. Many new settlers came to the area for the promise of free land. As more people settled in the area, farmlands were established, offering a multitude of crops. Trade relationships developed with Portland. With the Willamette River at its disposal, Oswego became learned in the ways of water trade. After a trade route was established, locals finally began mining the iron ore. In 1865, the Oregon Iron Company was established. It was one of the only cities for miles that offered such a commodity. An iron smelter opened in 1867, and a blast furnace was built shortly after. Farmers and miners alike all established prosperous lives in this community.
This was an age of many industrial strides and developments. The Oregon Iron Company was sold in 1878, later becoming the Oregon Iron and Steel Company. Naturally, a railroad was next to come to the powerhouse of metal. The Portland and Willamette Valley Railway arrived in 1886. Portland and other big cities were now easily accessible. The metals industry received a few backlashes when access to the railroad meant customers could get cheaper materials elsewhere, but Oswego quickly adapted. In the 1880s, Oswego was one of the chief producers of pig iron. A new smelter was built in 1888, which surpassed the capacity of the old plant by five times. The industrial success of the town pushed forward the installation of town necessities. Stores, hotels, churches, a drugstore, and a post office were all established during this time period.
In 1905, a power plant was built on Oswego Creek. Oswego was determined to keep up with the times and stay modern. Power poles went up. Oswego was officially incorporated in 1910. By 1914, the Southern Pacific Railroad was electrified. This was one of the most important developments for travelers because the trains were faster and produced less harmful emissions. It was so efficient that by 1920, 64 trains were leaving to and from Portland on a daily basis. This was clearly the better way to travel, and the acceptance of this new modern luxury brought interest in other residential luxuries.
A City Hall was erected in 1926. In 1930, the Lake Oswego Country Club was developed by Paul Murphy. It was centered on the lake. The smelters no longer needed it, so it was free to be used by the more luxurious members of the community. The country club became a high-end plot of land. Lavish homes were ornamentally placed around the lake. Oswego gained a reputation in Oregon for being an area of extravagance. This spurred even more residential development, and by the 1950s, it was a highly decorated town with many comforts that were available to residents and tourists.
In 1960, Oswego annexed the neighboring Lake Grove. The combination of the two towns inspired the name it has now: Lake Oswego. Since this time, Lake Oswego has not seen many developments. It has kept up with the pace of modern times and continued to add more amenities for its residents and visitors. Even more transportation exists between Portland and Lake Oswego. Fine dining, shopping, hotels, and recreational facilities offer a sense of refinement in this beautiful town. The actual lake in Lake Oswego is still the hub of activity, providing outdoor sports or a spot for a scenic picnic on a warm summer day.
Oswego has certainly changed since its beginnings. What was once a crude, dusty, iron mining town has transformed into something beautiful. It has long since shed its industrial beginnings, favoring the more comfortable life of luxury. Many of the original fine homes still surround the lake, proving that Lake Oswego hasn't forgotten when it's come from; it simply prefers the more beautiful things in life. And there is quite simply nothing wrong with that.
