On this week's True Blood, Tara, Pam and Eric explore the challenges of vampire parenthood. Someone finally wonders aloud why so many of Sookie's friends take such big risks for her. Jason and Andy discover the faeries' secret hideout... and a big secret about the backstory of the Stackhouse family legacy.
TARA, PAM and ERIC
This week we see the stories of two parent-child vampire relationships take very different turns. As Tara begrudgingly comes to terms with her fate and her role as Pam's child, Eric realizes that his precarious agreement with the Authority could endanger Pam, and thus he releases her from his bond. I wish I knew more about this process, because while it all seemed very sad and solemn, I wonder what the real effect is. I mean, they can still hang out, bump into each other at the grocery store, maybe even still work together, right? I understand the bond between maker and child is a poignant one, but for all intents and purposes — and provided Eric escapes his iStake and kills Russell -- couldn't things continue as normal?
SOOKIE and LAFAYETTE
Is Sookie the angel of death? This is a perfectly logical question posed by Lafayette in his frustration to keep the Debbie Pelt mess a secret. As a result, Sookie goes a little round the bend in this episode, as she ponders this question and the immense sacrifices her friends have made for her. So when the brakes in her car fail and she has to roll out the driver's side door to avoid a crash, she was probably too distracted to ask: Why did my brakes fail? (Answer: Because Lafayette put on his lucha libre face and put a hex on Sookie's Pinto.)
So what's a girl to do when she narrowly escapes death but is facing incarceration? Get sloppy drunk, of course! (See more on that below.) But no need for the one-woman pity party. Alcide shows up to tell her she's off the hook for Debbie's death because he lied for her. She rewards him with a hot makeout sesh, which naturally Bill and Eric witness through the window.
What seems like an incidental development — that pervy judge invites Andy and Jason out for an evening of debauchery — turns out to be a very important night. They climb into a limo with three comely lasses who cover their heads with pillowcases and bring them to a top-secret nightspot, which is, of course, the faeries' Bon Temps-based wonderland.
It's best described as the set of a traveling show of Moulin Rouge, which is to say it looks cheap. But there are hot boys and girls in all states of undress and everyone seems to be having a grand old time. Andy even bumps into Maurella, the faerie to whom he promised his loyalty last season. They kiss, and it's clear that whatever Maurella wants, Maurella gets.
Jason bumps into his faerie cousin Hadley, who is surprised to hear that Sookie is still alive and that he isn't in hiding from the vampires. She also drops a big bomb on Jason's size-of-a-walnut brain: Jason and Sookie's parents were killed by vampires!
But Hadley has said too much, and Jason causes a ruckus that gets he and Andy booted from Faerieland. As a final insult, once they're laying on the lawn, dumbfounded as to what just transpired, two bouncer-types shoot their faerie blasters at them and the screen fades to black. Memory erasers?
-Clever! Alcide clears Sookie's name when he lies to Debbie's parents and tells them that Marcus killed her, and that he in turn killed Marcus.
-Terry and Patrick travel to South Dakota to find Eller and we learn what happened in Iraq. Basically, the boys took some goofballs, watched some fireworks and then Eller shot a civilian, which sparked a firefight with some hostiles that led to several civilian casualties. (I am 300 years old so this whole sequence was very reminiscent of one years ago on China Beach, in which accidental civilian casualties in a firefight haunted Boonie and Dodger.) At any rate, once they reach Eller's secret bunker, they discover that he is batsh-- crazy, and, as he puts it, "armed."
-"I'm turning myself in," Sookie tells Jason, before she realizes that Alcide has taken care of the matter for her. "Into what?" Jason replies. Hilarious, but also, to be fair to Jason, this is an entirely feasible question to ask in Bon Temps.
-Didn't it seem totally out of character for Bill to comment on the "low-quality s--" marijuana that Jessica had at her party? I liked it better when he was the officious, arms-crossed kind of vampire dad.
-Sookie and I have the same "singing while drinking song": Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)." Go back and listen to her customized lyrics; they're really great. Now I'm going to have to try her signature drink: triple sec, Amaretto and Bailey's (barf).
-Two of Sam's shifter friends come to see him in a last-ditch effort to get him to rejoin their group. He relents, because he's an idiot, and when he happens upon their tasteful dinner gathering, he finds them both murdered.
-OMG! The little-kid chancellor was the traitor, so he gets the stake! This is a shame because I really wanted to hear more about his conversion efforts in Scandinavia. On the upside, Meloni showed a bit of life this week, sexily covered as he was with the kids' blood.
What did you think of "We'll Meet Again"? Do you think Tara will make a good vampire? Were you more moved than I was by Pam's "freeing"? What exactly do the faeries have up their nonexistent sleeves? Pour yourself an Orange Marzipan and tell me all in the comments below.

How did I decide what class to play ? I made a lvl 1 Charr and as soon as I could, I went to the capital and looked over my racial armors. Yes, that is how I decided.
Now, how do I want to decide my "main norn" … same way, but I can't preview armors that aren't my class. I have no free slot for a caster norn.
I'm sure I could find a way, look for them on the interwebs. But I don't want that. I want a good reason why I can't preview the other racial armors -.-. (From my race, ofc)

funneh tune
but wtf is with the title?
Well, it's a Ragtime (genre of the song) and if a silly cat would ask you what is this music, that's the way you should answer.
Thanx for the review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
great touch
the static in the background made the music seem vary realistic to the old timey' setting that was obviously intended. good job!
The "lo-fi" effect and crackles took quite a while, made those "by hand" not with "iZotope Vinyl", so, it's not only intended but also carefully worked ;)
Thanx for review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
blame this pecie of crap
hehe just kidding with ya i love it XD classic and awesome ^^ 10/10 5/5
so ... you're just kidding ... well, you should have told this earlier, I already zero voted it :p
thanx for review, Happy Holidays.

Wonderful loop!
Simple and classic. I dunno why, but i could not stop laughing while the song was playing!
So ... then my silly song should be featured in therapies ... :))
Thanx for review

Which is best? Biology or Chemistry or Physics
Discuss topics related to other sciences, post news that you feel our community needs to hear about. Any interesting discussions about pretty much anything are also welcome.
Moderator: BioTeam
Is difficult to isolate the importance of the subject. The man use the classification artificially. For Nature it does not matter: physics, chemistry or biology - for it all this is one organic whole. Therefore a true researcher must be competent in all things.
Biology and Physics,both are my favorite subjects.But mostly like to read biology.Really helpful to read about traditional, underpinning topics such as animal and plant systematic and relationships, with modern developments and techniques in all spheres of biology, from the molecular and cellular to the whole organismic and ecological.
Re: Which is best? Biology or Chemistry or Physics
Well definitely not physics xD
I prefer Chemistry to Biology and Physics.
For me Chemistry stayed Chemistry...same principles still applied and while the material did change, I found it easy to understand.
Physics,well...I really enjoyed Physics. Circuits and Space really intrigued me...A level Physics felt like Additional Mechanics (Add Maths = additional Pure), but since I wasn't also doing Maths it took me a while to get into it.
Biology focused less on the Cellular level with cycles, structure genetics etc, and moved into essay intense subjects like Ecology (bane of my life for A levels). It felt more like English Literature than Biology.
Didn't stop me doing a Pharmaceutical based degree, which involved all three... but thankfully the only physics was really the Gas Laws for aerosolized compounds.
I still am interested in microbiology, specifically virology and bacteriology, as these relate to what I hope to achieve (deal with) with Pharmaceuticals. Physics papers I cannot read for too long before headaches ensue...but I read physics articles.
I think that each of these is worthy to be studied, especially if you enjoy them! As I said, I always preferred Chemistry and Biology, even though I was extremely close to dropping Chemistry at the end of my GCSE's.

Re: Which is best? Biology or Chemistry or Physics
Biology,Chemistry and Physics three are important for everyone. Chemistry and Bio is must for medical students. Biology become best among all..

GUI or Gooey
Just recently, I joined a project where the goal was to implement cheaper storage. The cost needed to be reduced obviously. I joined the project when the RFP was already done and vendor selection was already done too, so I had no part in the selection process.
My involvement in the implementation was primarily the implementation of a High Performance NAS box and prepare a file services environment for virus scanning, NDMP backup and all that goes with an implementation like NAS. As a second activity I also assisted in the implementation of the management software for the mid-range/modular FC block storage, which happened to be the same vendor as the NAS box.
Like we are used too, the most part of the implementation went without any problem and the gear does what it is supposed to do. What did get my attention however is the management interfaces the vendor had us implement.
The thing I think is most concerning is that vendors think it is OK to implement management software that just doesn't seem to be fully completed yet, or is going through a transition between older and newer versions, where it seems to be caught up by new technologies faster than the pool of programmers can update the code of the management software.
I have to admit, personally, I never was a fan of the EMC Control Center suite, but I always keep an open mind. However, most EMC shops I worked in, storage admins were complaining about the speed (or better said the lack thereof), functionality, and problems they were experiencing with ECC. I myself turned to the CLI after spending more time looking at the hourglass then actually provisioning anything. In one place I worked in, the ECC server farm had a tremendous capex and opex for managing about 18 symmetrix boxes. A complete server farm was needed to run the ECC suite, including the Storage Scope reporting tool. I was always wondering why customers actually did put up with these practices. Now, with the 6.x version of ECC, things seem to have improved greatly. But still, the customers I speak to, pay a shipload of money to run ECC (license fees, personnel cost, and server cost), while they only use the CLI to manage their EMC storage farm. I just don't understand that.
One other example I'd like to mention, is HDS's management suite, they call Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM). A previous version was called Storage Navigator Modular (SNM). SNM version 2 was an improvement over version 1 of course, but never made it to a complete product. Now HDS is transitioning their SNM2 suite into HDvM, where some parts of SNM2 are still using parts of SNM1. While using HDvM, you still have to use SNM2 for some tasks, because not all functions have been ported to HDvM. In my book, this is an incomplete product, and should not be sold to customers, especially ones running in an high-end shop. While working with HDvM and considering all the ancient elements in the software, it kinda made me compare it to Microsoft's pre-Vista (some will say pre-XP) era, where many modifications were made on top of each other, actually not improving the OS as a whole. Even the CLI for this suite of products are different. There's a CLI for HDvM, SNM2 and even a separate one for managing replication (CCI-RaidManager).
Then there's IBM, which is struggling for years to put all storage management software under a single framework. For TSM there is the Integrated Solution Console, for the DS8000 there is a similar themed but completely different product called TotalStorage Manager for DS8000, as well as the SVC Console. The Totalstorage (or System Storage, I can't keep up with their marketing name changes) web based management tools all have the same theme, but work completely different. For more then six years now, they are trying to simplify management. Most of IBM's products are based on WebSpere which in my opinion is OK, but should be more reliable. Upgrading the WAS (Websphere Application Server) can break the management console a bit too easy with all the prereqs and pitfalls. In many cases admins revert to completely reinstalling instead of upgrading. Again, not good.
I haven't been able to get experience with all vendor's products and management software so I cannot and will not say this applies to all vendors, but the large ones surely have issues getting the management software right and tight. For all the products I know, myself and many others seem to prefer the CLI to manage storage. For all the money involved in this area, that seems like a bad thing to me.
So many vendors are playing catch up to play in the storage arena, all claiming simpler, cheaper, more efficient storage environments by introducing clouds, fancy licensing constructions, and what not. But I think the vendors should pay more attention to the way they build their management software. Just make it work, work fast, work efficient, and make it easy to use.
I thinks there's plenty of work to be done there which in return can make true to many of the ROI promises the vendors make.
Please comment on this article of you agree or disagree, or share your own experience with us. Some examples of when a vendor has a great GUI or management suite would also be nice.
This article is an expression of my own personal opinion and is not to be related to any contract or consulting position I filled, nor is it in any way sponsored.

Get Young Kids To Read?
My cousin sent an e-mail today saying his 7 year old was reading all the time now and had discovered a series of books he loved. The author? Dav Pilkey. He's the "Captain Underpants" award winning author. I told him that's how I got my twin boys reading a lot more. They loved his books and the next thing I knew they were reading Harry Potter and fantasy stuff and all kinds of other things. But, they discovered FUN reading thanks to this author. So, I wanted to suggest to anyone who has (approximately) 5-9 year olds that don't read or don't like to read, just get one of these books and start reading it to them. Then hand the kid the book and say, "Keep reading, I'll be back in a minute." Great stuff. The guy never grew up and understands kids and how they like to laugh and like the ridiculous stuff. Here's his website:

John F. Russell: Hooked on Heavy Medal
March 6, 2011
Steamboat Springs — Twelve days touring islands in the Pacific Ocean might seem like a vacation for some, but for Steamboat Springs resident Mike Lane, the trip is not about getting away. This trip is about giving back and, in some ways, going back.
Lane, public relations director for Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., will escort 1992 Olympic bronze medalist Nelson Carmichael, three-time Olympian Caroline Lalive, world champion rower Sean Colgan and two-time Olympian Kaylin Richardson on the Armed Forces Entertainment's Heavy Medal III tour from April 29 to May 10.
He will act as the group's public relations liaison and photographer.
Lane, the athletes and Warrior Tours founder Rob Powers will try to make the most of their days visiting military bases in the Pacific in places such as Guam and Japan. Their goal is to meet as many service members as possible and offer thanks to the military personnel families who are stationed thousands of miles from home.
Lane will trade in some of his vacation time for 18-hour days, a nonstop schedule and late-night hours spent filing stories and posting photographs to document the trip.
So why in the world would he, or anyone else, want to do this?
Recommended Stories For You
"The joy and excitement you see is pretty amazing," Lane said. "This is one of the most rewarding experiences that I've ever had, and I'm just glad to be a part of it."
Lane said the smiles on the faces of American servicemen and servicewomen he saw as a volunteer for Heavy Medal II in July made it all worth it.
Lane has volunteered on the Warrior Tours Senior Advisory Group for years, but he took a more active role in summer when he traveled with Olympian Todd Lodwick and astronaut Steve Swanson to visit military bases in Cuba as part of Heavy Medal II.
Lane never has been in the military, but he does have a personal connection. He says he can relate to the men and women he meets on bases across the world and knows how important a visit can be to someone far from home.
Lane's father was in the Army. Lane was born in Okinawa, Japan, and spent most of his life bouncing from base to base across the world. He spent two years living in Saudi Arabia when he was in elementary school, so he understands what a small reminder of home can mean.
"I know that my childhood is one of the reasons I wanted to do this," Lane said. "When you are stationed in a foreign country, you come to appreciate and value of what we have here. This is my chance to give back to the men and women who are serving our country."
But Lane insists he's not the real story. He praised Powers for making Heavy Medal a reality, and he praised the athletes who make the trips.
He says he's just there to record the moments, take a few photographs and, in a small way, bring those servicemen and servicewomen a little closer to the country they are serving.

President Students Union of UoH strongly condemned the statement of VHP president (Telangana) in which he threatened that the Bajrang Dal would enter the university on July 28. The UoH Students Union will not allow any such move, said the President Students Union of UoH. He demanded that the university administration ensure the safety of students. "The right-wing bigots have no place in our university", the JAC said in a statement.
President VHP Telangana Rama Raju had allegedly said that University of Hyderabad has become a hub of anti-national elements. He had claimed that police and government were supporting them who were shouting anti-national slogans and were booking cases against ABVP activities.
President VHP (Telangana) said that if police failed to arrest those attacking ABVP leaders, Bajrang Dal would enter into university on July 28 and nab them.

Domi was the reason I joined Cosplay Deviants for the first time way back in the day, and she's the reason I keep my subscription every month. Her body is so insane that it's unsane! Goddaaaaaaaamn
Ok, Domi might not be the only reason I've stayed signed up all these years, but she is one of the main ones. Aside from her, Cosplay Deviants has a huge collection of sexy female (and male!) cosplayers dressing up as their favorite anime and comic book characters. There are other adult cosplay sites online, but take my word for it, nothing compares to the Cosplay Deviants community. That right there is worth the monthly fee. The T&A is just a bonus.

The Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi)
The Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi)
The Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi) represents an interdisciplinary effort to advance the understanding of the complex relationship between the brain, cognition and behaviour at multiple levels of analysis. It brings together researchers with an interest in cognitive neuroscience, functional neuroimaging, neuropsychology and computational modelling. The CCNi is developing new methods to further understand brain mechanisms and train interdisciplinary scientists in the use of those methods and techniques.
The main research strength of the CCNi lies in the application of non-invasive multimodal brain imaging using fMRI, MEG, TMS and EEG. These techniques are used together with sophisticated analysis methods (some of which are developed in our Centre) to study the functioning of the human brain with a particular focus on the dynamics of visual perception (particularly faces) and attention, the functional role of brain oscillations, interactions in brain networks, auditory processing (particularly voices) and predictive coding.
Principal investigators: Goense, Gross, Kayser, Muckli, Philiastides, Robertson, Rousselet, Schyns, Sereno, Thut and Uhlhaas
History: The CCNi was created in 2008 as part of significant investment from the University of Glasgow, Scottish Research Infrastructure Fund (SRIF) and Wolfson in state-of-the-art, multi-modal neuroimaging technologies to support research in cognitive neuroscience.
Grant Highlights: Since opening in 2008 CCNi researchers have gained £7.6M in competitive awards (BBSRC, Wellcome, MRC) including two ERC Consolidator Award (Muckli, £1.2 'Brain Reading of contextual feedback and predictions' and Kayser, £1.4 'Multisensory Integration'), three Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator Award (Thut and Gross, £2M, 'State-dependent decoding and driving of human Brain Oscillations' and Schyns, 'Brain algorithmics: reverse engineering dynamic information processing in brain networks from MEG time series', £2M), and a MRC research grant (Uhlhaas, £0.8M, 'Prodromal Schizophrenia brain imaging research');
Publication highlights: The CCNi researchers have published more than 235 papers between 2008 and 2013, with more than 4500 citations.

Suzann Roalman: Vegetarianism can be based on self-interest
I won't debate Walter Sikora as to whether vegetarianism is a virtuous choice or not, since he's apparently incensed by the alleged sanctimoniousness of some vegetarians (Letters, "Vegetarianism isn't a matter of virtue," Feb. 3). However, I would like to challenge his assertion that meat is a "very high-quality food." He claims meat-eating directly contributed to development of large brains in humans and thus to the development of culture.
Jerry Haas: Editorial failed to note taxes are private dollars
A premise of the Athens Banner-Herald's Thursday editorial, "Bill on vouchers should focus on children's needs," is flawed. It's a fact that, as the editorial notes, the "Georgia Senate has joined the ignoble effort of state Sen. Eric Johnson, R-Savannah, to establish a voucher system in this state." It's erroneous, though to contend, as the editorial does, that such a program would be "steering public dollars into private schools."
Grady L. Cornish: Oaky Woods available at outrageous premium
Remember Oaky Woods, the 20,000-acre tract of pristine land near Gov. Sonny Perdue's farm that became an issue in Perdue's re-election campaign last year? It abuts a 100-acre tract Perdue purchased near his Houston County farm. The state could have purchased the tract for $50 million, but Oaky Woods now is in the hands of private developers. According to recent media reports, the owners say they are willing to sell if the state is willing to pay the asking price, which is $280 million.
Robert D. Clements: Farming, not bigger brains, led to modern civilization
Regarding Walter Sikora's Saturday letter to the editor, "Vegetarianism isn't a matter of virtue," expressing his displeasure at what he sees as the self-righteousness of vegetarians: As a general principle, we should practice tolerance and guard against hurting other folks' feelings, especially over such a personal choice as what one ingests. However, to extend Sikora's displeasure over self-righteousness, when we are with friends, should we refrain from telling about our fabulous vacations, lest we offend those who stay at home? A principle that I have found useful is to take nothing personally.
H. D. Lott: Tying troops' hands will embolden the terrorists
I recently was reminded that history often repeats itself. The reminder was in the form of an e-mail on a church bulletin board from an Army officer in Iraq to his parents, who are in the congregation. The officer said he no longer thought we could win the war, since the rules of engagement had been changed since his first tour. All he's interested in now, he said, is getting his men out alive and coming home.
Norm Weatherby: Teachers' language skills should be tested locally
Before we yield to the myth that money is the cure for poorly performing students, I think we need to consider the abject incompetence of some educators.
Donald Burkhard: Ethanol 'craze' will get gullible investors
Judging from President Bush's recent State of the Union speech, which included support for development of ethanol as an alternative fuel, it appears the ethanol craze will have to run its course until it self-destructs, leaving billions of dollars worth of useless processing equipment to be paid for by the taxpayer and gullible investors.
Jeff Walker: Gambling investigation was waste of resources
I've been giving some thought to the Athens Banner-Herald's coverage of alleged slot-machine gambling at the Brass Rail, a Mitchell Bridge Road pool hall (Stories, "Pool hall hit in gambling raid," Jan. 19, "Owners targeted in pool hall sting," Jan. 23).
Allen Moon: Nuwaubian deputies can see their leader in prison
I can't believe the four Clarke County sheriff's deputies fired for their association with the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors, a quasi-religious black-supremacist sect, are trying to get their jobs back (Story, "Fired sheriff's deputy fights to be reinstated," Jan. 30).

Jefferson's Dozier Mobley captured the greatest faces of the 20th century on film
For close to half a century, Dozier Mobley was a photographer for a host of newspapers, news agencies and NASCAR-related organizations. But saying that Mobley merely "took pictures" doesn't do justice to the canon of images he's captured and preserved, some of which are photojournalism's finest.
Larger than life: Gabler discusses Disney's dream
Author and educator Neal Gabler knows that whenever he talks about legendary entertainment mogul Walt Disney, he's liable to hear more queries about Disney mythology than the genuine stamp the creator of Mickey Mouse put on American culture.
From Animal Control: Please meet Tito
Tito is a friendly and lively 4-month-old puppy. He loves to play and run, so he would make a great running partner. He is super playful, but a good head scratching calms him down. Although he's a bit big to be a lap dog, he is a cuddler who loves to give kisses and hugs. Tito needs a loving home that will provide him with discipline as he outgrows the puppy stage.

Elected school superintendents not the answer
State Rep. Clay Cox, R-Lilburn, appears to have high hopes for his House Bill 14.
Shorter school year leaves out many students
Maybe there is an argument to be made that keeping students in Georgia's public school classrooms for fewer days each year would be a good thing. This is, after all, a state that has carved a niche for itself at or near the bottom of any number of student-achievement measures, from the SAT to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Maybe it's possible that giving young people more time with their families - for vacations in places they've only read about in history or geography texts, or for day trips to museums, aquariums or nature preserves - would help them learn more than they do in a Georgia classroom.
Public schools are best environment for students with disabilities
The Athens Banner-Herald's Thursday editorial, "Bill on vouchers should focus on children's needs," headlines the problem of Senate Bill 10, now under consideration in the Georgia General Assembly.

One sniff of this aroma as it's brewing and I'm transported back to middle and high school. Why? The dry leaves and as this tea is brewing remind me of the old Bath and Body Work lotion Pearlight (or something like that). It's delish!
It's very fragrant as it's brewing, but as I sip it, I feel like there is something missing. Should there be more spice? Maybe another flavor with the pear?
Perfect Pear isn't the worst tea I've had, I just have high expectations from Della Terra Teas. This isn't my fave from them (ahem, Cinnamon Crackle) but it's decent. I got this in a try-me pack, and I would consider getting it, if I enjoyed pear as a flavor. I don't, not really. Perhaps pear fans would enjoy this cuppa more?

Current law concerning the militarization and weaponization of outer space is inadequate for present times. The increased implementation of "dual-use" space technologies poses obstacles for the demilitarization of space. This paper examines how far the militarization of space should be taken and also whether weapons of any kind should be placed in space. Further steps must be taken in international space law to attempt to keep the militarization and weaponization of space under control in order to promote and maintain a free outer space for research and exploration.

Embryos as Patients? Medical Provider Duties in the Age of CRISPR/Cas9
By: G. Edward Powell III
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering platform is the first method of gene editing that could potentially be used to treat genetic disorders in human embryos. No past therapies, genetic or otherwise, have been intended or used to treat disorders in existent embryos. Past procedures performed on embryos have exclusively involved creation and implantation (e.g., in-vitro fertilization) or screening and selection of already-healthy embryos (e.g., preimplantation genetic diagnosis). A CRISPR/Cas9 treatment would evade medical malpractice law due to the early stage of the intervention and the fact that it is not a treatment for the mother. In most jurisdictions, medical professionals owe no duty to pre-viable fetuses or embryos as such, but will be held liable for negligent treatment of the mother if the treatment causes injury to a born-alive child. This issue brief discusses the science of CRISPR/Cas9, the background legal status of human embryos, and the case for considering genetically engineered embryos as patients for purposes of medical malpractice law.

Damned Lies & Criminal Sentencing Using Evidence-Based Tools
By: John Lightbourne
The boom of big data and predictive analytics has revolutionized business. eHarmony matches customers based on shared likes and expectations for romance, and Target uses similar methods to strategically push its products on shoppers. Courts and Departments of Corrections have also sought to employ similar tools. However, the use of data analytics in sentencing raises a host of constitutional concerns. In State v. Loomis, the Wisconsin Supreme Court was faced with whether the use of an actuarial risk assessment tool based on a proprietary formula violates a defendant's right to due process where the defendant could not review how the various inputs were weighed. The opinion attempts to save a constitutionally dubious technique and reads as a warning to lower courts in the proper use of predictive analytics. This article explores certain equal protection and due process arguments implicated by Loomis.

The Licensing Function of Patent Intermediaries
By: John E. Dubiansky
The contemporary patent marketplace is a complex ecosystem comprised of innovators and manufacturers who are often connected by a varied group of intermediaries. While there are a variety of intermediary business models—such as patent assertion entities and defensive aggregators—each facilitates a variant of a similar licensing transaction, connecting a set of patents held by a patent owner with a product or service offered by a prospective licensee. One explanation for the prevalence of intermediaries is that they engage in practices tantamount to arbitrage, acquiring patents and then licensing them at a profit because they enjoy greater success in patent litigation than patent holders would on their own. This paper advances an additional explanation: some intermediaries may serve a function analogous to a platform trading in non-exclusive licenses, overcoming search and valuation costs to facilitate licensing.
This paper focuses on the use of two contract terms in intermediaries' dealings with technology market participants: revenue sharing in patent acquisition and non-exclusive licensing. The Federal Trade Commission's Patent Entity Activity Study reported that intermediaries used both of these terms. Building on those findings, this paper argues that intermediaries that use both provisions may, under some conditions, operate in a manner analogous to a two-sided platform. First, this paper examines how participants in a technology market would value non-exclusive licenses granted ex post, after the licensed product is already on the market. The paper argues that—in addition to the avoidance of litigation costs— the reduction of uncertainty can also drive licensee demand. Next, the paper proposes that use of revenue sharing allows patent holders to experience network effects from the number of prospective licensees accessed through the intermediary, which may make the intermediary more attractive than licensing unilaterally. Finally, this paper argues that the conduct of a patent licensing intermediary using these contract features can be analogized to the practices of other licensing intermediaries such as performing rights organizations and patent pools. These observations suggest that one explanation for the success of some intermediary models—as well as one aspect of their conduct that may influence competition in technology markets—is their ability to connect patent holders and prospective licensees with a greater number of potential trading partners than they would otherwise be able to connect with on their own.

Seeking Rights, Not Rent: How Litigation Finance Can Help Break Music Copyright's Precedent Gridlock
By: Glenn E. Chappell
Since its inception, litigation finance has steadily grown in prevalence and popularity in the United States. While many scholars have examined its merits, few have considered litigation finance specifically in the context of copyright law. This is most unfortunate, for there, a vicious cycle has taken hold: high litigation costs discourage many market participants from taking cases to trial or summary judgment in order to vindicate their legal rights, even when they have strong cases. Thus, parties settle almost every case, which in turn prevents resolution of longstanding precedential questions in critical areas of copyright law. The legal uncertainty resulting from this precedential gridlock generates higher avoidance costs and poses more financial risks for market participants, particularly less-heeled or less-established parties.
This Note proposes one way in which litigation finance could help break that cycle. Specifically, rights holders and defendants alike can use litigation finance to fund strategic-litigation campaigns to pressure the development of precedent. To illustrate how this might work, this Note examines litigation finance in the narrow context of music copyright, an area that perfectly illustrates the problems besetting copyright law writ large. In doing so, this Note flips a popular criticism of litigation finance on its head: while some scholars argue that litigation finance can distort litigation strategy by encouraging litigants to reject mutually beneficial settlements, it is normatively desirable to do so given the unsettled state of music copyright law.

Law Firm Cybersecurity: The State of Preventative and Remedial Regulation Governing Data Breaches in the Legal Profession
By: Madelyn Tarr
With the looming threat of the next hacking scandal, data protection efforts in law firms are becoming increasingly crucial in maintaining client confidentiality. This paper addresses ethical and legal issues arising with data storage and privacy in law firms. The American Bar Association's Model Rules present an ethical standard for cybersecurity measures, which many states have adopted and interpreted. Other than state legislation mandating timely disclosure after a data breach, few legal standards govern law firm data breaches. As technology advances rapidly, the law must address preventative and remedial measures more effectively to protect clients from data breaches caused by outdated or ineffective cybersecurity procedures in law firms. These measures should include setting a minimum standard of care for data security protection and creating a private cause of action for individuals whose personal information has been improperly accessed because of a failure to comply with those standards.

The Dawn of Fully Automated Contract Drafting: Machine Learning Breathes New Life Into a Decades-Old Promise
By: Kathryn D. Betts and Kyle R. Jaep
Technological advances within contract drafting software have seemingly plateaued. Despite the decades-long hopes and promises of many commentators, critics doubt this technology will ever fully automate the drafting process. But, while there has been a lack of innovation in contract drafting software, technological advances have continued to improve contract review and analysis programs. "Machine learning," the leading innovative force in these areas, has proven incredibly efficient, performing in mere minutes tasks that would otherwise take a team of lawyers tens of hours. Some contract drafting programs have already experimented with machine learning capabilities, and this technology may pave the way for the full automation of contract drafting. Although intellectual property, data access, and ethical obstacles may delay complete integration of machine learning into contract drafting, full automation is likely still viable.

SEC Reporting Requirements for Publicly Traded Companies Should Not be Expanded Despite Advancements in Information Technology
By: Lindsey Kell
Advancements in information technology allow information to be collected and analyzed quickly within a corporation. As a result, technology also allows the quicker release of information to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC)—much quicker than the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q releases that are currently required for publicly traded companies. Although publicly traded companies must also disclose certain significant events in Form 8-K, the reporting requirements for publicly traded companies are not nearly as expansive as they could be considering the easy access these companies have to their business information. Even with this in mind, the SEC is well into a reevaluation of Regulation S-K primarily because requirements have accreted over time to become not just burdensome to companies but also blinding to investors who are overwhelmed by the volume of disclosure thrown at them. This paper expounds on these arguments and posits additional arguments for why the SEC should not expand reporting requirements for publicly traded companies. Specifically, expanded requirements are associated with high compliance costs; market forces already induce higher-quality disclosures; the more information companies file with the SEC, the more advantages they give to their competitors; and both the liability concerns and the doctrinal issues already associated with the current requirements will be exacerbated with an expansion of the requirements.

Websites as Facilities Under ADA Title III
By: Ryan C. Brunner
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires public accommodations—private entities that offer goods or services to the public—to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. There is an ongoing debate about whether Title III applies to websites that offer services to the public, but this debate may be resolved in the coming years by litigation or Department of Justice regulations. Assuming for the sake of argument that Title III will eventually be applied to websites, the next inquiry is what that application should look like. The regulatory definition of "facilities" should be amended to include nonphysical places of public accommodations. This change would open the door to a multilayered approach to accessible websites, wherein existing websites are subject to relatively lax requirements but new and altered websites are subject to stricter requirements.

What's in a Name: Cable Systems, FilmOn, and Judicial Consideration of the Applicability of the Copyright Act's Compulsory License to Online Broadcasters of Cable Content
By: Kathryn M. Boyd
The way we consume media today is vastly different from the way media was consumed in 1976, when the Copyright Act created the compulsory license for cable systems. The compulsory license allowed cable systems, as defined by the Copyright Act, to pay a set fee for the right to air television programming rather than working out individual deals with each group that owned the copyright in the programming, and helped make television more widely accessible to the viewing public. FilmOn, a company that uses a mini-antenna system to capture and retransmit broadcast network signals, is now seeking access to the compulsory license. In three concurrent legal cases in New York, California, and D.C., FilmOn argues that it meets the statutory requirements to classify as a cable system. This Issue Brief examines the legal history of cable systems and considers the effects of agency influence, policy concerns, and the lack of judicial or congressional resolution regarding FilmOn's contested legal status.

Mitochondrial Replacement Therapy and the Regulation of Reproductive Genetic Technologies in the United States
By: Bob Zhao
The ability to alter the genes of future generations no longer belongs in the realm of science fiction. The genetic modification capabilities of modern science are advancing rapidly. Mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) represents the first crossing of the germline barrier in humans, and as of February 2015, it is the first procedure of its kind to be legalized in the Western world. How Congress decides to regulate MRT will influence future regulation of all genetic manipulation technologies. This brief argues that the current patchwork regulatory framework established in the United States is insufficient to deal with the complex issues MRT presents. As such, the creation of a new regulatory agency specifically focused on the oversight of reproductive and genetic biotechnologies may be necessary to balance the goals of ensuring the safety of research participants, promoting public debate, and stimulating continued scientific progress.

Flying Under the Radar: Low-Altitude Local Drone Use and the Reentry of Property Rights
By: Kenneth Maher
The characteristics and capabilities of civilian drones have proliferated in recent years, giving rise to a burgeoning industry. The popular media and academic literature have predominantly focused on privacy concerns, devoting considerably less attention to the regulatory challenges created by the new technology. Congress instructed the FAA to integrate drones into the National Airspace System in 2012, but rulemaking delays and a moratorium on commercial uses hampered the industry and withheld benefits from the public.
Final regulations are now in place, but the new rules revive legal uncertainty over the constitutional limits of federal authority and the ambiguous vertical bounds of private property rights. Low-altitude local drone use is one of the most promising aspects of the technology, and lies at the outer edge of federal authority. Much of the current debate gets key questions exactly backwards. Under current Supreme Court precedent, the proper legal question is not whether federal airspace authority can extend lower to govern virtually all drone use, but whether drone use pushes private property rights in airspace higher, limiting federal authority. Therefore, this Issue Brief joins the scholarly criticism of FAA efforts to date and calls for a greater focus on clear property rights.

Copyright Severability: The Hurdle Between 3D-Printing and Mass Crowdsourced Innovation
By: Alan Fu
3D-printing is gradually becoming widely accessible to the population, and with accessibility come enthusiasm, participation, and ingenuity. Its continued development reflects a potential surge in technological advancement, bestowing on any person with a computer and the right software the ability to design and create. So far, the utilitarian benefits of designs such as blueprints, schematics, and CAD files have always been safeguarded from copyright over-protection through the doctrine of copyright severability. However, the doctrine is applied inconsistently across different circuits and different factual scenarios. This inconsistency can chill innovation by making it impossible to distinguish aesthetic designs protected by copyright from functional designs that are not. Thus, copyright severability does not do enough to protect innovation as 3D-printing begins to make product design more accessible to the general public. A more suitable solution may lie in the abstraction-filtration-comparison test from the software context of copyright infringement.

Putting Fair Use on Display: Ending the Permissions Culture in the Museum Community
By: Rosemary Chandler
Digital technologies present museums with tremendous opportunities to increase public access to the arts. But the longstanding "permissions culture" entrenched in the museum community—in which licenses are obtained for the use of copyrighted materials regardless of whether such uses are "fair," such that licenses are not legally required—likely will make the cost of many potential digital projects prohibitively expensive. Ending the permissions culture is therefore critically important to museums as they seek to connect with diverse audiences in the Digital Age. In this issue brief, I argue that such a development will require clear and context-specific information about fair use that enables museum professionals to better understand the appropriate boundaries of fair use, and that a community-based code of best practices—like the College Art Association's recently released Code of Best Practices for Fair Use in the Visual Arts—is likely the best means to achieve this.

ICRC, NATO and the U.S. – Direct Participation in Hacktivities – Targeting Private Contractors and Civilians in Cyberspace Under International Humanitarian Law
By: Ido Kilovaty
Cyber-attacks have become increasingly common and are an integral part of contemporary armed conflicts. With that premise in mind, the question arises of whether or not a civilian carrying out cyber-attacks during an armed conflict becomes a legitimate target under international humanitarian law. This paper aims to explore this question using three different analytical and conceptual frameworks while looking at a variety of cyber-attacks along with their subsequent effects. One of the core principles of the law of armed conflict is distinction, which states that civilians in an armed conflict are granted a set of protections, mainly the protection from direct attacks by the adversary, whereas combatants (or members of armed groups) and military objectives may become legitimate targets of direct attacks. Although civilians are generally protected from direct attacks, they can still become victims of an attack because they lose this protection "for such time as they take direct part in hostilities." In other words, under certain circumstances, if a civilian decides to engage in hostile cyber activities (or "hacktivities"), they may well become a target of a direct lethal attack. I will argue that although the answer is highly nuanced and context dependent, the most salutary doctrinal revision that can be made in this area is that the threshold of harm must adapt to the particular intricacies of cyberspace.

Police Body Worn Cameras and Privacy: Retaining Benefits While Reducing Public Concerns
By: Richard Lin
Recent high-profile incidents of police misconduct have led to calls for increased police accountability. One proposed reform is to equip police officers with body worn cameras, which provide more reliable evidence than eyewitness accounts. However, such cameras may pose privacy concerns for individuals who are recorded, as the footage may fall under open records statutes that would require the footage to be released upon request. Furthermore, storage of video data is costly, and redaction of video for release is time-consuming. While exempting all body camera video from release would take care of privacy issues, it would also prevent the public from using body camera footage to uncover misconduct. Agencies and lawmakers can address privacy problems successfully by using data management techniques to identify and preserve critical video evidence, and allowing non-critical video to be deleted under data-retention policies. Furthermore, software redaction may be used to produce releasable video that does not threaten the privacy of recorded individuals.

The Silence After the Beep: Envisioning an Emergency Information System to Serve the Visually Impaired
By: Elana R. Reman
Due to a series of legal and regulatory setbacks, media accessibility regulations for consumers who are blind and visually impaired have lagged significantly behind those for deaf individuals. Until April 2014, when the Federal Communications Commission's Emergency Information Order took effect, blind consumers were left "in the dark" when their safety mattered most—during weather emergencies—because visual emergency information displayed in the on-screen crawl during television programming was not accessible in an aural format. The Commission now mandates that this information be provided in an aural form through the secondary audio stream for linear programming viewed on televisions and mobile devices and other "second screens" used inside the home over the MVPD's network, but this requirement leaves many issues unresolved. This Issue Brief examines and analyzes the arguments made by industry and consumer groups for and against expanded regulation, and makes several recommendations that efficiently fill gaps in the current regulatory requirements for accessible emergency information. These recommendations are technically feasible, not unduly burdensome, and necessary to effectuate the purpose of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. Specifically, the Commission can extend emergency information regulations to the entities it failed to reach with its Emergency Information Order and Second Report and Order by adopting the Linear Programming Definition of an MVPD that it puts forth in its MVPD Definition NPRM. The Commission should adopt this definition, thereby expanding the scope of entities required to comply with the Emergency Information Order, but it should curtail the Order's rigidity by not passing prioritization guidelines and by removing the requirement to include school closures and changes in the bus schedule in the secondary audio stream.

The Frontiers of Peer-to-Peer Lending: Thinking About a New Regulatory Approach
By: William S. Warren
The growth of online alternative lending presents several advantages for both those seeking credit and those with excess capital to lend. Over the past decade, several different models of peer-to-peer lending have emerged in the US and U.K. Each of these models has developed in response to the different regulatory system it faces, which has led to the models' different risk and reward profiles. However, the current regulatory framework for regulating peer-to-peer lending, especially in the U.S., leaves much to be desired. The inadequate regulatory regime not only hampers the potential for growth and further innovation in the industry, but also creates risks for consumers, lenders, and, as the sector grows, entire markets. There is no clear or easy answer as to the optimal regulatory regime, but regulators should at least consider the basic functions of peer-to-peer lending and how to address risks with a more comprehensive and sensible model for regulation.

The NLRB's Purple Communications Decision: Email, Property, and the Changing Patterns of Industrial Life
By: Josh Carroll
On December 11th, 2014, in a much-anticipated case, the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") held in a 3-2 decision that employees with access to an employer's email system had a presumptive right to use that email system during non-working time under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). In an attempt to adapt to the "changing patterns of industrial life," the NLRB reversed a seven-year precedent by overturning In re Guard Publ'g Co., 351 N.L.R.B. 1110 (2007), and thereby gave employees the statutory right to use employer email systems for non-business purposes.
This issue brief argues that the majority opinion in Purple Commc'ns, Inc., 361 N.L.R.B. No. 126 (2014) erroneously presumed that a ban on employer email systems interfered with employees' rights to engage in concerted activities under Section 7. In reality, the influx of alternative avenues of communication, such as smartphones, social media, and tablets, have substantially grown for employees over the past several years, thus strengthening employees' Section 7 rights. The new framework set forth in Purple Communications not only exaggerates the need for employees to exercise their Section 7 rights by using a company's email system, but also unfairly burdens an employer's resources, time, and energy in implementing such access. For these reasons, the rule in Purple Communications is unworkable and the prior Register Guard standard should still apply.

Informational Inequality: How High Frequency Traders Use Premier Access to Information to Prey on Institutional Investors
By: Jacob Adrian
In recent months, Wall Street has been whipped into a frenzy following the March 31st release of Michael Lewis' book "Flash Boys." In the book, Lewis characterizes the stock market as being rigged, which has institutional investors and outside observers alike demanding some sort of SEC action. The vast majority of this criticism is aimed at high-frequency traders, who use complex computer algorithms to execute trades several times faster than the blink of an eye. One of the many complaints against high-frequency traders is over parasitic trading practices, such as front-running. Front-running, in the era of high-frequency trading, is best defined as using the knowledge of a large impending trade to take a favorable position in the market before that trade is executed. Put simply, these traders are able to jump in front of a trade before it can be completed. This Note explains how high-frequency traders are able to front-run trades using superior access to information, and examines several proposed SEC responses.

Legal Nature of Emails: A Comparative Perspective
By: Edina Harbinja
There is currently a conflict between laws and the market in their treatment of email. Laws mandate that emails are not protected as property unless copyrightable or protected by another legal mechanism. But the market suggests that emails are user-owned property without further qualification. Moreover, the nature of email is treated slightly differently between the U.S. and U.K. legal regimes. While the current legal regimes applicable to email in the U.K. and U.S. are reasonable, legal harmonization within these systems, and with the service provider market, should be achieved.

The research in this paper will seek to ascertain the extent of personal data entry and collection required to enjoy at least the minimal promised benefits of distributed intelligence and monitoring in the home. Particular attention will be given to the abilities and sensitivities of the population most likely to need these devices, notably the elderly and disabled. The paper will then evaluate whether existing legal limitations on the collection, maintenance, and use of such data are applicable to devices currently in use in the home environment and whether such regulations effectively protect privacy. Finally, given appropriate policy parameters, the paper will offer proposals to effectuate reasonable and practical privacy-protective solutions for developers and consumers.
