Nuzzled in the sidebar of an otherwise typical New York Times piece on the rapidly evolving comfort tech of your average consumer vehicle's options, this brilliant illustration by Bruce McCall of the world's most advanced and dangerous car. Father drives while simultaneously watching Casablanca and getting a haircut, while Junior bakes a pizza, whips a toy airplane around his head as hard as he can and considers getting a few slam dunks in. Meanwhile, Mother uses a remote control to change channels on a television she could easily reach to adjust herself, but her laziness is redeemed by the fact that she is apparently a Popeye fan. Even the pets are kept occupied: Fido is entranced by the admittedly captivating plots of the Bone channel, while Whiskers lazily watches a motorized mouse move back and forth... which will eventually, in the manner of felines, prompt him to wig the shit out, lodge himself in hissing terror underneath Father's accelerator and cause the very same horrific car crash that Junior is cheering on through the occulus his backseat Chronoscope. Fully Loaded [NY Times via book of joe]

There's something about the art style in that pic that makes me want to fold it in to see what the gag is.
Shutz, god, I know. I almost made that same comment when I was writing it, but forgot by the time I'd gotten to the end of it.
To me, the gag part is that in the fifties, the car of the future would've been a saucer.
Now, we have a kid in the backseat playing with an old airplane.
That's a natural parody for Mad Magazine to run.
I'm going to print the picture and fold it.
(runs off to print picture…)
Yup, fold it up and sure enough the dog is flying the saucer, with only the girl as passenger.
And still someone has to drive the damn thing?! sheesh, some future.
I love the fact that they're driving at 88mph.
Oh, and there are apparently no seatbelts in the future.
Also: Where are the pop-up gun turrets and side-mounted missile launchers?
One more: Is that kid wearing a pager? I thought this was the future, not the past! Well, maybe they're retro in the future.
88 mph? Anybody see a flux capacitor somewhere?
They do seem to have a forward-facing dash mounted pain ray. Useful for when some moron cuts you off.
Where's the driver's glass of wine??
No mention about Sis and her keyboard stylings? You really bought into the 1950s illustration style.
Bruce McCall did dozens of car and invention-related articles for the National Lampoon.
Nice to see he's still slamming them out.
Reminds me of this.
I love that the passenger in the front seat is watching the news and Popeye!
This could not possibly illustrate the future. The occupants are not fat enough.

Millionaire Brant Matthews's desire for his secretary only fully ignited when she became engaged to his business partner. Brant knew Kia was not in love with the other man and set out to discover what game she was playing.
A startling request to be a "pretend fiancee" allowed Kia a respite from Brant's relentless pursuit. Surely he wouldn't seduce her believing she belonged to another man. But Kia had severely underestimated how much Brant wanted her...or the revenge he would evoke when he revealed her engagement ruse.

The Brother PT-9700PC Desktop Thermal Barcode Label Printer prints truly laminated labels on demand and is designed for applications that require a more permanent label. Although conventional thermal transfer printed labels are durable, fade resistant and may be used in extreme temperatures, a laminated label offers additional protection against abrasion, chemicals and moisture. Printed at 360 dpi resolution, these high quality laminated labels have a glossy clear finish that makes them ideal for serial number labels in manufacturing, parts and product identification labels in warehouse, calibration and asset management stickers in quality management, speciman identification in clinical labs and for markings in harsh environment applications.
With an attractive industrial design and small footprint, the fast 3.1 ips? print speed makes this desktop thermal barcode label printer suitable for use in line for manufacturing applications. A built-in automatic cutter reliably trims the continuous label to your desirable length, one at a time or configure it to half-cut multiple labels into a strip for easy label removal.
Unlike other thermal transfer label printers, changing consumables is simple and virtually trouble-free because the PT-9700PC uses HG and TZ tapes, true drop- in cartridges that contain all the consumables: ink ribbon, adhesive back media and lamination preloaded and ready to go - no adjustments are necessary.
Although designed to be a GDI printer, fully compatible with Windows 7 and other Windows OS computers, the PT-9700PC can also be used with other operating systems and standalone devices¦ like a barcode scanner, keyboard, medical or test equipment.
With this combination of high performance, versatility and reliability, why not experience this for yourself and see why the PT-9700PC is the best value desktop bar code and label printer for professional quality and harsh environment applications.

Israeli warplanes and Apache helicopters attacked the Palestinian Authority's security headquarters in Gaza Cityyesterday after Palestinian armed groups fired a new type of homemade rocket into Israel. The attack came at a timeof changeover between morning and afternoon shifts at nearby schools, and streets were crowded with youngsters whoran away from the explosions, some screaming in panic. Almost 40 people were injured in the assault, four critically.It was the second air strike on Gaza City in two days.
Meanwhile, inside Israel, battle lines of a different kind were being drawn. In the biggest challenge to the army'sauthority since the second Palestinian intifada began 16 months ago, a growing corps of Israeli reserve officers hasbegun to refuse service in the occupied territories. Almost three weeks ago, 52 officers signed a public petitiondenouncing the occupation and refusing to take part in it through military service. The petition was published inone of Israel's leading newspapers, and reads like this:
"We hereby declare that we will continue to serve in the Israel Defense Force in any assignment that will serve thedefense of the state of Israel. The assignment of occupation and repression does not serve that aim–and we willhave no part in it."
Since its publication, several hundred more reserve officers have added their names to the petition, while streams ofothers have risen to condemn it. As of last Friday, the army had suspended nearly 50 petitioners, and a countermovement has emerged with its own letter denouncing the officers. The streets of Israel are buzzing with debate,marking perhaps first time since the second intifada began that the national consensus has been fractured. Today,we'll have our own debate.
- Yair Halper, Conscientious Objector. Just finished serving 3 months in prison for refusing to be draftedinto the army. He is 18 years old.
- Uri Avnery, journalist, peace activist, former member of the Knesset, and leader of Gush Shalom, the mostmilitant part of the Israeli peace movement. He is also a highly decorated war veteran, who served in an elite unitof the Israeli army.
- Dr. Yoram Peri, political science teacher at the Ankori high school, the largest private school network inIsrael. Before that, he was a high-ranking army officer.

Josh's Afternoon Jam: The Script 'Superheroes' [Video]
If you want something, let this be your anthem.
If you want something, let this be your anthem.
By John Sinkevics | Local Spins
Less than a year after the death of The Orbit Room owner Don Dorshimer, the future of the longtime Grand Rapids concert venue is up in the air now that manager Ted Smith is leaving to head up booking at the new HopCat in Detroit.
Andy Grammer's for-Channel 95.7-listeners-only concert at The B.O.B. on Wednesday night was phenomenal!
Grammer took the stage to perform for Channel 95.7 listeners and definitely did not disappoint as he played songs from his new album "Magazines And Novels" as well some of his older songs like "Keep Your Head Up".
We, of course, had a full staff of photographers and videographers (okay, we just made our co-worker Johnnie come and take video all by himself) so that we could capture the moment to be relived by concert-goers and watched by folks who weren't able to attend.
Intimate and personal. That's the only way to describe Andy Grammer's for-Channel 95.7-listeners-only concert at The B.O.B. on Wednesday night.
Performing in the ground-floor House of Music and Entertainment (H.O.M.E.), the 30-year-old "Keep Your Head Up" singer-guitarist engaged an audience of just more than 200 people in his first Grand Rapids performance.
Well, it's a total girl jam, but it's catchy!
Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" has become an anthem of sorts for women everywhere. It's a none-to-subtle middle finger to the folks who perpetuate the idea that women aren't attractive unless they're stick thin. The song's popularity has made Trainor an instant star.
This week, she went on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to perform, but before that, she got together with Jimmy and the Roots to perform "All About That Bass" and play it on classroom instruments. I think this is my favorite one of these videos yet.
Going back to school has never been so fun.
What do you get when you take "Stay With Me," subtract Sam Smith, add Cristina Gatti and a jazz band? This awesome vintage cover!
Check out the 40 songs in Channel 957's rotation for the month of November
Andy Grammer -- a longtime Channel 95.7 artist -- will be coming to Grand Rapids on Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. for a special intimate show at H.O.M.E. inside The B.O.B. just for Channel 95.7 listeners!
The only way that you can go to the show is to win tickets through us! Be sure to be listening every weekday and every hour from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. for your chance to win!
Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora's new single becomes a happy, singalong bluegrass song!
Meet Chase Holfelder, the genius behind a hauntingly beautiful version of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".
This version isn't meant to depress people (though it might), but it's here to show us that switching to a minor key can affect tone in a major way.

Last week I had the pleasure of enjoying tea with Joanna August, a super talented designer out of California who does gorgeous bridesmaids and wedding dresses. Her objective is simple: she'll only make dresses that she herself would wear, and that can absolutely be worn again. Its more about making dresses that can be used FOR weddings, rather than bridesmaids dresses that can be worn OUTSIDE of weddings. Pretty clever if you ask me.

Delivering Energy Savings to TaxpayersPosted byon September 18, 2012 at 12:52 PM EDT
It is no secret Americans everywhere are looking for more ways to save. From electricity bills to gas pumps, families and businesses are turning over more stones to save on their energy use.
The Federal Government is no different. As the nation's top energy consumer, there is great potential to deliver energy savings to taxpayers. Thankfully, there is a giant opportunity right in front of us: Commissioning.
As with ships, commissioning for new buildings is meant to assure that systems are properly installed and operate within specifications. Commissioning identifies and corrects such errors as fans installed backwards or wired to stay "always-on," faulty equipment, and improperly programmed building energy systems. Properly done, commissioning includes training so building staff can provide high performance operation.
However, over time, building performance tends to drift. Building use can change, equipment can be altered, and new staff are not always fully trained. Equipment may no longer operate within specifications; leaks may go unrepaired. The result is that energy performance suffers, along with occupant comfort. This can drive up energy costs and our bills. Without a quality-assurance process, problems may go unfixed for years and even decades.
Recommissioning (or retrocommissioning for a building not previously commissioned) can be thought of as a "tune-up" to restore and enhance building performance. Commissioning agents work with building operators to do this. Good recommissioning includes training so operators can keep buildings operating optimally long after the process.
And the savings offered are impressive. A Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study of 643 buildings across 26 states found that commissioning led to median energy savings of 16 percent in existing buildings and 13 percent in new construction.
Most of this vast potential remains untapped – but change is coming. California and New York City both recently began including commissioning as part of their strategies to advance building efficiency, and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 established commissioning as part of its Federal energy management goals and requirements.
As the operator of more than 500,000 buildings covering 3.1 billion square feet, the Federal Government is leading by example here. But they cannot do it alone. Add in 5 million commercial buildings totaling 72 billion square feet and commissioning becomes a prime opportunity for business and government to come together to help Americans save money and power the economy forward.
Commissioning and other innovative ideas will be discussed at the upcoming 2012 GreenGov Symposium, which will focus on sharing ways to create jobs and save taxpayers money by making the Federal Government more sustainable and energy efficient.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Montreal ProtocolPosted byon September 17, 2012 at 5:03 PM EDT
September 16th marked the 25th anniversary of the ratification of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, one of the world's greatest environmental protection success stories. The United States played a leading role during its negotiation in 1987 and, today, Americans continue to benefit from its impacts. By phasing out the production of chemicals that threatened the ozone layer, the Montreal Protocol today protects the health of billions of people across the world.
In the 1970s, evidence began to surface that certain products we use every day, from aerosol spray cans to refrigerators, contained chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that were depleting the Earth's protective ozone layer and increasing the level of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface. Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause serious health problems, including higher incidence of skin cancer, and negatively impact our environment by damaging crops and food sources.
The United States was instrumental in crafting a solution to this risk. On September 16, 1987, twenty four nations, including the United States, signed the Montreal Protocol. Today, all 197 member nations of the United Nations have followed our lead, making it the most widely ratified international environmental agreement in history.
The Montreal Protocol has been and continues to be a clear and resounding success. The United Nations estimates that global production of ozone-depleting substances has fallen 98% since ratification. As a result, the ozone layer is recovering, and experts project that it will return to its pre-1980 levels as early as 2060.
When the world first grappled with the challenge of a diminishing ozone layer, few substitutes existed for ozone-depleting chemicals and many observers warned that tackling the problem would impose tremendous economic burdens. But global innovation, led by a number of American companies, proved them wrong. An unprecedented research and development effort has led to the rapid, widespread adoption of low-cost alternatives to harmful CFCs. Today, everyday products that once contained CFCs, from spray cans and computers to furniture and packing peanuts, are produced with ozone-friendly materials.
These accomplishments have produced real benefits for Americans, preventing sicknesses and deaths, and saving us money on health care costs. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that every dollar invested in ozone protection provides $20 in health benefits here at home.
The Montreal Protocol has also played a significant role in helping to address climate change. Many ozone-depleting substances are potent greenhouse gases. By dramatically reducing the production of these substances, the Montreal Protocol has so far averted the equivalent of 135 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide worldwide, according to United Nations estimates.
In the 1970s and 1980s, there was widespread concern that the depletion of our ozone layer would have a long-lasting negative impact on our health and communities. Today, thanks to the United States' leadership on important environmental issues, we are well on our way toward restoring the ozone layer, and its benefits. On the 25th anniversary of this agreement, it is important to recognize that the success of the Montreal Protocol is not only a cause of celebration, but also a model of how we can work together to build healthier, cleaner communities and spur innovation and economic growth.

USDA Drought Code Sprint: Giving Americans One-Click Access to Federal Drought ReliefPosted byon September 14, 2012 at 12:53 PM EDT
Ed. note: This is cross-posted from the United States Department of Agriculture Blog. Please note the deadline for submission has been extended to October 24.
Americans across the country are feeling the impact of the most severe and extensive drought in the last 25 years. We've heard from people throughout the United States, asking how they can help. That's why today we're launching USDA's first-ever Drought Code Sprint, a call to developers across the country to use publicly available government information to help farmers, ranchers, and others gain quick and reliable "one-click" access to information on drought conditions and Federal drought relief. Developers can submit their apps using this form by October 24. Some of the most innovative ones will be featured on USDA.gov.
Crops are withering as a result of this historic drought and feed for livestock is growing ever more scarce and expensive. None of us is immune—these conditions are affecting over 50% of the country and almost 80% of our agricultural land. But our rural communities and family farmers and ranchers are on the front lines, and have been the first to feel the drought's full effects. They are working hard to overcome these hardships, and the Federal Government has stepped up to help.
Of course, apps can't influence the weather or refill our reservoirs. But they can help farmers and ranchers become more easily aware of the kinds of assistance available to them, and they can simplify the process of taking advantage of these options so relief gets to the people who need it as efficiently as possible.
Some tools we'd love to see include apps that provide "one-click" access to the nearest USDA service centers and available drought programs; county-level drought disaster designations and program eligibility; information on Federal assistance available based on location and sector; types of loans or refinance options available with a handy repayment calculator and eligibility requirements; drought maps; and localized weather outlooks. These are just a few of our ideas but we're confident that you have even better ones—so get coding!
To get started, check out these publicly available data sets in the Natural Hazards Data Community on Safety.Data.gov and on the USDA drought website:
- USDA Service Center Locator
- USDA Secretarial County Disaster Designations
- Monthly Crop Production Reports
- Weekly Crop Progress and Condition Reports
- Hay Stocks
- National Integrated Drought Information System
- National Water and Climate Center data including SNOwpack TELemetry Network (SNOTEL) and Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN)
We encourage developers to use other freely available resources on safety.data.gov or the USDA website as well—including Agriculture Weather and Drought Outlook blog posts and Drought Assistance Programs and Information sites—and any other data resources that would be helpful to those affected by the drought.
Here is a great opportunity to apply American ingenuity and technology to the cause of helping America's farms. We look forward to seeing your ideas.

Federal Buildings Leading By ExamplePosted byon September 10, 2012 at 12:46 PM EDT
I'm thinking of a Federal building. It is the third oldest federal building in our Nation's capital. It houses the Federal department in charge of promoting economic growth. And, thanks to a green retrofit, it saves American taxpayers $3.5 million every year.
It is the Treasury Building. This LEED Gold project – the oldest building in the world to earn this designation – is a shining example of how green building is conserving energy, protecting the environment, and saving taxpayers money. There are now more than 800 LEED certified Federal Government projects, representing almost 100 million square feet of space.
Over the last 18 years, our organization, the U.S. Green Building Council, has worked closely with stakeholders from the public and private sectors to help them deliver the economic and environmental benefits of green building. We have seen wonderful examples of pioneering government activity as well as the pursuit of new opportunities to scale and accelerate innovation for the benefit of the broader building industry.
The Federal Government (including the military services) oversees approximately half a million buildings, and spends $7 billion a year in energy costs for those buildings. Clearly, improving energy and resource efficiency represents an enormous opportunity to save taxpayers money and promote the uptake of cost-effective clean energy technologies and practices.
We have seen tremendous progress to date. Governments at all levels have chosen to lead by example when it comes to the construction, design and operation of their buildings.
Young Americans Building a Sustainable FuturePosted byon August 31, 2012 at 3:52 PM EDT
Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with the extraordinary winners of the Youth Sustainability Challenge. We launched this challenge this spring to encourage young people from across the United States to tell the world what they're doing in their communities to foster sustainability – and these winners rose to the occasion.
Our winners represent the innovation and talent of young Americans making a difference in communities across the Nation every day. From college student organizations that create "Solar Streets" in their communities, to youth-directed community micro-grant programs that provide assistance to young people for conservation projects, the winners of the Challenge have all applied their skill, creativity, and energy to make their communities stronger and healthier.
You can learn more about the innovative projects of our five winners by watching their short videos, which we featured at the"Rio+20" U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in June. At the conference, we also sponsored a Forum on Youth Action to highlight the commitment and creativity of these young people and the millions like them across the United States and the globe.
To complement these events, today, the Challenge winners came to Washington, D.C. to meet with senior environmental policy-makers from the Administration, like EPA's Deputy Administrator Bob Perciasepe. They discussed how young people can lead their campuses, schools, and hometowns in environmental initiatives. They also met with youth engagement leaders from the White House and EPA, and learned more about programs like EPA's EcoAmbassadors.
These remarkable young people have reminded me of the importance of harnessing the creativity and passion of America's youth in facing the critical issues of our day. Young people today have remarkable new tools and connective technologies at their fingertips to understand the world and others' experiences, to generate and share solutions to sustainability challenges, and to inspire action. Here in Washington, we will continue to factor their insight and enthusiasm into our work. As they return to their schools and communities, it is our hope that the dialogue we had here during their visit will serve as a foundation for fresh initiatives and innovative solutions to our shared global challenges.

What the New Fuel Economy Standards Mean for YouPosted byon August 30, 2012 at 11:52 AM EDT
When President Obama came into office, fuel efficiency standards for cars had not budged for two decades, and American consumers were losing out as a result. Thanks to the newest fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards finalized this week, the Administration has now guaranteed steady improvements for our cars and light trucks from model year 2011 through 2025.
The Administration's standards represent the single biggest step the U.S. has ever taken to reduce dependence on foreign oil and cut harmful carbon pollution, and they will save consumers more than $1.7 trillion at the gas pump. They were supported by a diverse crowd of stakeholders – including 13 major auto companies that together represent more than 90 percent of U.S. sales, as well as the United Auto Workers, consumer groups, and environmental organizations.
This action is clearly historic, but what will it mean for individual car buyers? Because numbers like $1.7 trillion can be hard to grasp, here are answers to a few commonly asked questions about what the new fuel efficiency standards mean for Americans.
1. What will the effect of the 54.5 mpg target be on drivers?
An easy way to think about the effect of these standards is that average fuel efficiency of a car or light truck purchased in 2025 will be roughly double what these vehicles were required to achieve before 2011, when the Administration's first round of new standards took effect. So if you currently fill up at a gas station every week, you'll only need to stop every two weeks.
2. Will more efficient vehicles still be affordable?
Yes.The incremental costs of technologies that improve vehicle efficiency are recouped several times over by savings at the gas pump. In fact, consumers purchasing a vehicle with a standard 5-year loan can expect to benefit from day one as fuel savings offset higher payments in the very first month of ownership.
Another way to think about it: net savings (after accounting for any vehicle cost increase) for the owner of an average 2025 vehicle will be equivalent to a drop in fuel prices of $1 per gallon.
3. Will I still have the option to choose a large car with these standards?
Absolutely. The standards are designed to preserve consumer choice and allow you to choose the vehicle size that best meets your needs. Although we often talk about a 54.5 mpg-equivalent average for the industry, individual fuel economy and emissions requirements actually vary based on the size of a vehicle. A manufacturer's fleet comprised of smaller cars must meet a higher mpg target than a fleet made up of larger vehicles, reflecting the different fuel economy capabilities of smaller and larger vehicles.
The standards also do not require specific technologies, but instead allow automakers to meet their fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas targets however they choose. In fact, manufacturers are expecting to deliver the required savings with a wide range of vehicle technologies. While these include advanced vehicles – like natural gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles – they also include very substantial improvements in gasoline and diesel vehicles, from advanced transmissions to highly efficient engines to improved aerodynamics. As a result, consumers will have many options to save on fuel.
4. Do I have to wait until 2025 to save?
There's good news on that front too. The standards deliver steady year-after-year improvements (see chart above), and purchasers of new vehicles today are already saving at the pump as a result of the Obama Administration's first round of car and truck standards. As we're seeing in showrooms today, automakers are stepping up and selling some of the most fuel efficient and cleanest vehicles ever available.

Re: BooksOnBoard has the lowest priced Star Trek eBooks
When it comes to the price for E-books, I really don't mind spending the full paperback price for them since chances are if I was getting a paperback version from a bookstore or one of the websites I'd probably be paying that much anyways. I'm even willing to pay a little since I'm saving the gas and time of having to go to the book store or pay for shipping. Now there is a certain point where I draw the line. The first Kahn book is a great example of that, I refuse to pay $24.03 for something that was $7.99 a couple months ago. But if it's like $9 or $10, I'm more than willing to pay that.

From Batman to Birdman
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 1 2014 5:00AM
Michael Keaton was the first actor to reboot the
movie franchise. Many still think he was the best- even if he was eclipsed by Nicholson's Joker.
That was 25 years ago, and there have been a handful of movie Batmen since.
Now Keaton's back in
– a dark comedy that has him as a washed-up actor famous for playing a superhero in the past who's trying to reclaim his glory days by putting together a Broadway play.
Check out the trailer – the movie looks intense. It's due out in theaters in mid-October.
If you want a grittier ride, check out the
international trailer
that was released yesterday.
Warning: it is definitely NSFW!

Good luck, and have a great summer! 1 QUESTION I In 2002, Pepsi began developing a new flavored-water product, which it called "Aquagusta." Aquagusta was to be prepared at Pepsi's bottling facilities by mixing a bottled flavor concentrate with water. Pepsi engaged another company, Sapore, Inc., to prepare the concentrate exclusively for sale to Pepsi. Under their arrangement, Sapore would order and purchase the raw ingredients for the flavor concentrate from other suppliers. Then, at the Sapore plant in Albany, New York, it would blend the ingredients to make the concentrate. The parties did not enter into a written agreement setting out this arrangement, but Sapore signed a five-year agreement not to disclose any of Pepsi's confidential or proprietary information regarding Aquagusta or its flavoring. Sapore began producing the Aquagusta flavor concentrate in April 2003. With this initial production of concentrate, Pepsi prepared a test batch of Aquagusta, but was not satisfied with the flavor. Consequently, Pepsi revised the formula and discarded the test batch of Aquagusta. Pepsi also paid Sapore for its inventory of the unsatisfactory flavor concentrate. Sapore then worked overtime to produce new quantities of the reformulated flavor concentrate to stock Pepsi's warehouses in anticipation of a May 19, 2003 start of retail sales. When retail sales began, Pepsi ordered flavor concentrate as its needs arose. That is, when its bottling facilities ran low on the concentrate, Pepsi sent purchase orders to Sapore for flavor concentrate, and Sapore filled those orders by sending Pepsi the flavor concentrate, together with invoices billing Pepsi for it. In the parties' conversations regarding the Aquagusta project, they discussed the importance of ensuring that Sapore had one month's supply of flavor concentrate on hand at any given time. They also discussed the importance of Sapore manufacturing the next month's anticipated supply in the current month. Thus, the parties contemplated that Sapore would purchase the raw materials for the manufacture of the flavor concentrate a month or more before the concentrate would be used. Indeed, Sapore referred to its interpretation of this arrangement in the invoices that it submitted to Pepsi when it shipped the flavor concentrate, with the following language: "As agreed, Seller [i.e., Sapore] is preparing for and manufacturing additional quantities of flavor concentrate in expectation of future orders. This requires the purchase of raw materials in advance of orders. If the expected orders are not received, and the raw materials are not used, Buyer [i.e., Pepsi] will be billed for the raw materials." Pepsi never acknowledged or responded to this language in any way. The Pepsi-Sapore arrangement worked well during the first few months of sales. But the parties were concerned that, other than the confidentiality agreement and individual Aquagusta concentrate transactions, they had no written contractual relationship. Beginning in June 2003, they began negotiating a Supplier Agreement (SA). Their plan was that the SA would, among other things, commit Sapore to provide the flavor concentrate for a specified period of time and would make clear when Pepsi was liable for unused raw materials purchased by Sapore. On July 14, 2003, Pepsi sent to Sapore a final draft, which provided that Sapore would supply Pepsi with flavor concentrate through December 2004, but that the SA could be terminated by either party with one month's notice. The draft SA also provided that Pepsi would purchase from Sapore any Aquagusta raw materials that could not be used by Sapore if (1) the SA was terminated, and (2) the raw materials were reasonably purchased based on historical usage. 2 But Sapore did not sign the SA. It delayed, telling Pepsi that it was bogged down due to its impending sale of a West Coast facility. Actually, though, Sapore was trying to sell its Albany-based juice and concentrate business. For strategic reasons, Sapore's president did not want to enter into a contract with Pepsi that might interfere with the sale of the business. In the meantime, July demand for Aquagusta exceeded Pepsi's expectations. Pepsi began scrambling to replace dwindling quantities of concentrate to prevent its bottling facilities from running out. Pepsi faxed purchase orders with tight turnarounds — sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. This quickly depleted Sapore's inventories. Given Pepsi's demand, and in view of Sapore's inventory situation at the end of July, Sapore needed more raw materials to fill expected Pepsi purchase orders. Sapore thus issued two flavor ingredient purchase orders to its supplier on July 29, 2003. These orders were for certain quantities to be delivered on August 12 and during the first week of September, intended for production runs on August 20 and 21 and on September 17 and 18. Pepsi was not aware of these purchases, as it did not involve itself directly in Sapore's raw materials purchases. By late August Aquagusta sales had slowed to below forecast. Sapore did not produce any more Aquagusta flavor concentrate after the August 20 and 21 production runs, because Pepsi's bottling facilities had sufficient concentrate to meet demand. But Sapore still had a large inventory of unused flavor ingredients from the July 29 orders. Due to spoilage of fruit juices, the shelf life of these ingredients was three months, and therefore, since there were no more orders from Pepsi after August, they had to be destroyed in November 2003. Sapore sold the Albany plant in January 2004, thus terminating the Sapore-Pepsi relationship. Soon after the sale, Sapore began demanding that Pepsi pay it for the unused and destroyed flavor ingredients. Pepsi refused. Discuss whether Sapore could show that Pepsi had a contractual obligation to pay for the unused flavor ingredients. Please note the specificity of the question. You should not discuss any other issues, unless they bear on whether Pepsi would be obligated to pay for the ingredients. 3 QUESTION II Hal Jordan operates a small motel in Dana Point, California, called the Green Lantern Inn. A dispute has arisen over the relationship between Jordan's motel and Guardian Hotels, a franchising organization for hotels and motels. The relationship began when Jordan was visited by Alan Scott, a representative of Guardian. Jordan describes the visit in this way: What I recall is Alan coming into my office and representing himself to me as a salesman for the Guardian franchise. He told me he could bring me at least 15 percent reservations by getting me into their central reservation system. He told me about the Internet program they were developing, and he said it would go nationwide. All you would do is click, and my property would be on that if I chose to franchise. He spoke of the benefits of having a Guardian sign, which has that interesting shape, with a ring and bars on the top and bottom, on our marquee out by the road. He specifically said that he could generate at least 15 percent of my reservations and they even looked at my numbers, which showed that we usually get more than 100 reservations a month. Following this conversation, the Green Lantern Inn and Guardian Hotels entered into a contract. The contract provided that the Green Lantern Inn would operate as a Guardian motel for fifteen years in Dana Point, California. In exchange for converting the Green Lantern Inn to a Guardian hotel, Green Lantern Inn, among other things, would receive the benefit of participating in Guardian's central reservations system. Section 3.1 of the contract specifically provided that the Green Lantern Inn would "receive reservations through participation in Guardian's Central Reservation System" for the full term of the contract. Under Section 10.2 of the contract, Guardian had the power to suspend Green Lantern Inn's access to the reservations system upon failure to pay or perform under the contract. Green Lantern Inn also had various obligations to Guardian. Sections 5 and 9 required Green Lantern Inn to make periodic payments for royalties, reservation system user fees, and other fees. Section 6.2 obligated Green Lantern Inn to prepare and submit to Guardian monthly reports concerning gross room revenue, on which the fees due from Green Lantern Inn to Guardian were based. Section 20 was entitled "Special Acknowledgments and Disclaimers." In Section 20.1, Green Lantern Inn agreed that it had "received Guardian's Uniform Franchise Offering Circular ("UFOC") for prospective licensees at least 10 business days before paying any fee to Guardian or signing any contract with Guardian." The UFOC stated in part that "GUARDIAN DOES NOT FURNISH OR AUTHORIZE OUR SALES PERSONS TO FURNISH ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION CONCERNING ACTUAL, PROJECTED, OR POTENTIAL COSTS, EXPENSES, OR PROFITS OF A PROPOSED FACILITY." Section 20.2 of the contract was another "special acknowledgment": "This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules attached, is the entire agreement superseding all previous oral and written representations, agreements, and understandings of the parties." 4 By its terms, the contract became effective on April 1, 2004. But in the first few months after that date, the Green Lantern Inn received only about one reservation a month through the Guardian system. Indeed, Jordan called Guardian's 800 number for its reservation system several times in April and May, and went to the Guardian site on the Web, and he claimed that "we were not in the reservation system, nor were we on the Internet as promised." Because Jordan believed that the Green Lantern Inn was getting nothing from the deal with Guardian, the Green Lantern Inn submitted no payments to Guardian. On August 21, 2004, Guardian wrote a letter to the Green Lantern Inn, stating that the Inn had not filed its monthly revenue reports from April through July 2004, and that the Inn owed $35,912.91 in unpaid fees. In addition, the letter said that Guardian would take action under Section 10.2 of the contract: "Because the Facility [i.e., the Green Lantern Inn] has failed to remit royalties and other fees in accordance with the terms of the Agreement since April 2004, the Facility has been removed from the Central Reservation System as of August 16, 2004." In a subsequent letter, dated December 18, 2004, Guardian stated that it had terminated the contract. Guardian has sued the Green Lantern Inn for breach of contract, seeking as damages the fees that Guardian says were due and unpaid under the contract prior to its termination. Discuss any arguments that the Green Lantern Inn could raise in defending against this suit by Guardian. 5 QUESTION III I have recently been involved in a case concerning Monsanto Company's licensing of certain of its patent rights to farmers. The farmers entered into these agreements in various years between 1997 and 2004. Assume that a farmer enters into an agreement only in the first year that it uses Monsanto's patented technology, so that the same agreement governs the parties' relationship in that and subsequent years. In each year, the license agreements included this language: "Once you enroll, information regarding any new terms will be mailed to you each year." Starting in 2001, the agreements also included this language: "Continuing to use Monsanto's technologies after receipt of any new terms constitutes your agreement to be bound by the terms." Prior to 2001, neither that latter language nor any language of similar effect was included in the agreements. Discuss whether any new terms sent by Monsanto to farmers would bind the farmers, and discuss whether it matters whether they entered into the agreement before or after January 2001. (In general, a patent licensing agreement is governed by normal principles of contract law. In any event, do not consider any special issues that might be raised because the license agreement involves patent rights. Patent license agreements are not governed by the U.C.C.) 6
