Human Rights, Intellectual Property and Access to Medicines, notes from Yale workshop
Submitted by James Love on 4. May 2013 - 7:01On April 26, 2013 I attended a half day meeting on "A Human Rights Approach to Intellectual Property and Access to Medicines" organized by the Yale Law School and the Yale School of Public Health. These are notes from my interventions on behalf of KEI.
1. KEI does a lot of work on intellectual property rights that has impact on human rights. We do not always give prominence to human rights law or the language of human rights, although at times and in the right context, it can be important to do so.
PhRMA press release on USTR Special 301, expresses disappointment over language for India, Canada
Submitted by James Love on 3. May 2013 - 12:07Below is the PhRMA press release on the Special 301 Report.
Key points in the PhRMA release:
* PhRMA "dismayed that USTR did not grant an out-of-cycle review for India." PhRMA claims that India decisions involving German owned Bayer and Swiss owned Novartis "disproportionately impacted U.S. biopharmaceutical companies." (Perhaps PhRMA could have said, companies that have ownership claims on the US government).

Friday gold puzzle – can you crack it?
Here's a little gold puzzle for you to ponder as you're getting ready for the weekend. See if you can figure it out.
U.S. stocks halt five-day slide after November jobs report
U.S. stocks advanced, halting a five-day slide for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, as investors weighed better-than-forecast jobs growth to gauge the strength of the economy and timing of Federal Reserve stimulus cuts.
Stocks risk a bubble by pushing too high, too fast
The stock market could use a healthy correction soon, before prices start rising at an unsustainable pace.
Dollar rises vs. yen as U.S. jobs gain shapes Fed speculation
The dollar gained versus the yen after a report showed the U.S. added more jobs last month than forecast, signaling the Federal Reserve may reduce monetary stimulus that's seen as debasing the currency.

Lewis and two others were charged in their killings.
Four months later, Lewis pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice. A jury acquitted Joseph Sweeting and Reginald Oakley. "It was self-defense for me because someone attacked me," Oakley told CNN.
Today, Lewis insists whatever happened in Atlanta changed him.
"With everything I've been through in my whole life, the thing for me to be here today and my only purpose in life is to find ways to help people and encourage people and make our world a better place," he said.
Bryant compares Lewis to the biblical figure King David.
"David was a man after God's own heart, after committing adultery, after committing murder, after being negligent on the job, after being taken out of position," Bryant said. "He's still somebody who God honored, and I think that many times history can't appreciate it while you're in it, it's only after you walk away."
That is the definition of redemption, Bryant said. It's not what you've done, it's what you've become.
3. From starter to mentor
Alex Smith can't help but be a little disappointed even though the 49ers are in the game of their lives. Just a few months ago, Smith was San Francisco's starting quarterback before a concussion sent him to the sideline.
Kaepernick, the second-year backup, played even better than Smith, stayed in the lineup and had a big role in getting the 49ers to the Super Bowl. He said Smith has been supportive since losing his spot.
"It means a lot," Kaepernick said this week. "I think it really shows his character and the kind of man he is. He's helped me through everything, from Week 1 'til now."
Smith, who is healthy again, said he said he became a starter in college at Utah when their No. 1 quarterback went down.
"I'd be pretty hypocritical to be upset about it," Smith said. "It's the nature of sports. He got an opportunity, stepped up and made the most of it."
NBC Sports reported this week that Smith will ask to be released in the offseason, giving him greater control of which team he will play for next. The 49ers also could trade him, or keep him, but not many teams would want to pay their backup quarterback $8.5 million.
It's unlikely Harbaugh will pull Kaepernick if he struggles, but if he is injured the 49ers have little to worry about in his replacement.
4. Distractions, distractions, distractions
This Super Bowl has had more distractions than most. First there was Lewis being asked whether he had taken a banned substance called deer antler spray. Then 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver said Tuesday he didn't want any gay players on his team. Add to that the story of TV analyst Dan Marino fathering a child out of wedlock and San Francisco's Randy Moss boasting he was the best receiver of all time (to which Jerry Rice replied, "Scoreboard.")
Players were sure the media circus wouldn't affect Super Bowl XLVII.
"You get to play at this level because most of the guys are mentally tough, so when you get out there, the last thing you're going to be thinking about is what people are saying," 49ers center Jonathan Goodwin said.
Ravens center Matt Birk said the being a professional football player requires staying focused at the task at hand, something some guys can't handle. He said he compartmentalizes the bad stuff, blocks it out.
Patrick Willis, a 49ers linebacker, defended Culliver.
"In this business, it's always going to be something, and we know those guys," he said. "We know those guys' hearts. We know that those things that come out of their mouths aren't intended to hurt anyone or intended to make it about them."
Culliver apologized Wednesday and again Thursday, saying: "I'm sorry that I offended anyone. They were very ugly comments, and that's not what I feel in my heart. Hopefully, I can learn and grow from this experience and this situation. I love San Francisco."
5. New Orleans on the comeback
The Big Easy is playing host to its 10th Super Bowl and even though locals are crushed that the hometown Saints aren't playing in the game, they are happy to show a city that has rebounded strongly from Hurricane Katrina seven years ago.

When the Pocumtuck hills blaze with color in the fall, tiny snowflakes twirl and tumble to a white-blanketed ground, or the morning mist lifts off the quad, I wonder if I dreamed up Deerfield.
I close my eyes and remember how I became a Deerfield student long before I first stepped foot on the brick pathways. As I looked outside my bedroom window to the hills that cling to the Ohio River, the idea of boarding school seemed far away on the pages of novels I read growing up. Letting my fingers drag across the glossy pages of every pamphlet, paper, and picture I got caught up in a world foreign to my own. I let the images piece together Deerfield, and I imagined myself in a different valley studying under the shade of blossoming trees, or discussing issues around a wooden table.
The first time Deerfield felt like home was late one night my junior year. I had just spent the past few hours with friends sharing a batch of brownies my mom had sent, and as we ate, our conversation weaved through different cultural ideas and political views. As I lay down to sleep, my mind buzzed with fresh notions of the world. I watched the luminous moon gleaming down through my window, and I stayed awake a few hours longer, just thinking.
When I went home to West Virginia that Christmas, I asked my dad to drive me past my old high school. I was once again reminded of its enormous beauty—it's a large historical building, with a brick facade and long horseshoe driveway—but as we circled the school, I felt empty. There were no students laughing happily as they walked to class with friends and teachers, and the looming football stadium cast its gray shadow on the back of the school. I missed my new campus—the one laced with flowered walkways and adorned with majestic trees. As my dad and I drove away, I felt lucky, incredibly lucky. Sitting at home, I never imagined that my Deerfield experience would be defined, not just by time spent in the classroom, but by moments in the Dining Hall, at the river, or in a friend's room.
I still try to explain Deerfield to friends at home, but no story, no picture, could ever describe the feeling as bagpipers march down Albany Road, "Sweet Caroline" blares at a hockey game or the school sings the Evensong. Even as I celebrate the holidays with family, there is still a part of me that yearns to return to the classrooms, the Greer Store, and the beautiful homes of Main Street.
Now, as I prepare to graduate, I find myself envious of the underclassmen girls on my hall, who have a few more years to enjoy this place and every little thing it offers. During school meetings or at sit-down meals, I find myself in awe of the students sitting around me and realize that I may never again live in a place with such a concentration of talented and remarkable people. I am privileged to have been taught by some of the best teachers in the country, but regardless of what I learned seated in the classroom, what I prize the most are my relationships with friends, teachers, proctees, advisors, and coaches. Those treasured bonds will last forever.
My two years in this home will always seem too short.

The Bad Boys
Lucien Remington (hero of "Lucien's Gamble" in Scandalous Liaisons) is the proud owner of Remington's, an elite gentlemen's club. His establishment–and occasionally Lucien himself–can be found in most of my other Regency-set books. You can also catch his heroine, Julienne, in Catching Caroline. The Marquess of Fontaine first appears in "Lucien's Gamble". His story is told in "Mischief and the Marquess", which is in Perfect Kisses.

I liked Open Water.
It's way better than Forest Gump. Perhaps if Gump had been eaten by sharks, the movie would have been better.
Heh, I went to see Open Water with a friend in theaters when it was released. He liked it and I absolutely hated it.

The idea would make for an interesting worst case scenario movie, but the presentation was so dull. I hardly remember anything about it besides the brief intro nudity and the credit sequence. When that's all a movie makes me remember, it was missing some key components.

I haven't watched it in a long while, but I remember not enjoying it when I did. I think I wanted to see the dragons win, and when humanity with minimal resources defeated the flying, fire breathing reptiles, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Plus, I remember it being very boring and devoid of any cool action sequences. Hmm, maybe I should watch it again...
It's kind of the way I disliked Transformers: too much humanity, not enough robots fighting.
A Knight's Tale took me a few sittings to warm up to, but I'm finally at a point where I can enjoy it for what it is. Plus, Chaucer's portrayal is pretty ludicrous and fun. Final Fantasy: TSW I enjoyed just from the animation aspect (I was still in art school when this came out). Loved the style and art, just didn't care for the story.
Aww, that was the best part of the movie! Shakespeare with guns!!
I'm curious, what is it you didn't like about Forrest Gump? I know people who dislike it, but never with such fervor.
5+ years, 4,000+ songs, 1 awesome developer. Thank you!

Earlier this week a not-for-profit corporation called Save the Tarpon claimed it had irrefutable DNA proof of the incident. Ingman's response?
"We can lie detector test any of our people," he said. "We did not do this. Who knows who found that fish and did something with it. The people responsible who weighed and released the fish, those are the people who I know have nothing to do with that. Whatever happened to that tarpon, I hope it wasn't done to make people look bad."
The article posted on savethetarpon.com says that Capt. T.J. Stewart of Team Castaway Charters and Edgewater Boats caught the 124-pound tarpon during the tournament. DNA samples were taken and swabs sent to a laboratory in St. Petersburg.
The tarpon was found floating in the Gulf the next day, on June 4.
"It was cut open in a failed attempt to send the fish to the bottom so it couldn't be DNA tested and traced back to the PTTS," the article states. "This fish, with belly intact, had been sampled the previous day at the PTTS scales."
During the 2012 fishing season, six of the fish that were caught during PTTS tournaments were DNA sampled, then sampled again at a later date. Four of them were dead.
Ingman said while he didn't know exactly how many fish were caught and sampled during that particular June tournament, he did know that four of them were found dead afterward. He said he's not happy about that, but said the PTTS would not stop DNA sampling tarpon, because it's for a good cause.
"We sample hundreds of fish, we don't hide anything because it all helps science," he said. "We set ourselves up in a way, we're putting a fingerprint on every fish, but it helps the scientists and helps a good cause ... so it's worth doing."
Ingman said every fish brought to the scale and weighed in previous tournaments was issued a possession tag.
"That's something the FWC watches," he explained. "If someone brought a fish to the scale and didn't have a tag, we wouldn't weigh it."
Capt.Tom McLaughlin, chairman of Save the Tarpon, said that the person who performed the DNA sampling was not affiliated with his group in any way, and that no one tampered with the fish after its death.
McLaughlin has been closely watching the data retrieved from DNA sampling from Boca Grande Pass.
"As of 2011, DNA samples have been taken from only two living fish caught during or after a tournament," he said. "When you have a tournament killing a large portion of fish, masquerading as a conservation group and you put it on television, you've just said that gaffing, dragging and holding fish up for pictures is perfectly fine. That is the culture they created, that it was OK to treat the fish that way."
McLaughlin wants to know how many dead fish is enough to prove that angling methods employed by some PTTS anglers is unethical.
"During two PTTS tournaments held on the same day they DNA sampled 80 fish," he said. "Four fish found dead were from the fish that had been weighed. The curious thing is, though, that all the dead ones from that day were found after the tide changed at the end of the tournament."
McLaughlin said what that means is that during much of the tournament the tide was going out. When it switched later on in the day, near the end of the tournament, the dead tarpon weren't being taken offshore and they were found by DNA sampling boats.
How many fish would have been found prior to the incoming tide is a mystery, but McLaughlin said the odds of finding a live tarpon during DNA sampling should have been just as good as finding a dead one.
But only dead tarpon were found.
The PTTS announced last fall that they would be changing their methods during the tournaments. No more tarpon would be gaffed, dragged to the scales near the beach and weighed, they said. Instead, they will be using other measurements to judge the size of the fish. Whether those methods fall under the category of "possession" is now in question.
McLaughlin said that trying to hold a fish at the boat, whether with a gaff or a lip-lock device, while waiting for camera crews to show up would be in question as far as possession laws go.
"If they had possession tags during their tournaments and killed a fish, that's not illegal," McLaughlin said. "But if they called it a 'kill' tournament, which is what it is, they would have no supporters, no TV show, no sponsors."
Ingman said he agreed that Charlotte Harbor is a valuable asset to the community, and the tarpon that live within it provide an economic boon for the area during fishing season. According to Ingman, the PTTS has the tarpon population's best interests at heart.
"The people who care about the fish are the ones we are going to listen to," he said. "Our area, Charlotte Harbor, is probably the most-watched area for dead tarpon. I have a real passion for these fish and I can tell you, at the end of the day, we didn't do this."

Capped at Wales under-20 level King has been tipped to challenge Dan Lydiate for a starting berth in the future, with his favoured position blindside flanker.
But despite representing Wales at under-20 level, King is not yet committed to Wales having missed the "Steven Shingler" match – a clash with France that was deemed an official Wales second team fixture by the International Rugby Board.
And having been born in Australia to English parents, King admits he is not certain where his international future will lie.
"I have lived most of my life in Wales and I class myself as British," said King.
But which country would he choose if he could pick?
"I don't know. I would think about it, but I don't think I would say no to the chance of playing international rugby."

Sometimes the only evidence of a bug is the fact that the optimal solution to a particular problem is never found. This is usually caused by either (1) adding an invalid cut, or (2) performing an invalid branching. There are two options available for discovering such errors. The first is for checking the validity of added cuts. This checking must, of course, be done by the user, but SYMPHONY can facilitate such checking. To do this, the user must fill in the function user_check_validity_of_cut(). THIS function is called every time a cut is passed from the cut generator to the LP and can function as an independent verifier. To do this, the user must pass (through her own data structures) a known feasible solution. Then for each cut passed into the function, the user can check whether the cut is satisfied by the feasible solution. If not, then there is a problem! Of course, the problem could also be with the checking routine. To enable this functionality, the user must configure SYMPHONY with the flag -enable-cut-check (see Section 22.214.171.124).
Tracing the optimal path can alert the user when the subproblem which admits a particular known feasible solution (at least according to the branching restrictions that have been imposed so far) is pruned. This could be due to an invalid branching. Note that this option currently only works for branching on binary variables. To use this facility, the user must fill in the function user_send_feas_sol(). All that is required is to pass out an array of user indices that are in the feasible solution that you want to trace. Each time the subproblem which admits this feasible solution is branched on, the branch that continues to admit the solution is marked. When one of these marked subproblems is pruned, the user is notified. To enable this functionality, the user must configure SYMPHONY with the flag -enable-trace-path (see Section 22.214.171.124).

So, my question for you guys that had this problem is, what did you do to alleviate it? For example, did you add a certain type of material for padding to take out some of the vibration and if so, where and how did you add it? Any info would be appreciated and pics of your setup would be even better!

Bump the screen rate up to 60fps. That seemed to do the trick for me. After trying several things, best I could determine is that there was too much vibration with the airplane at certain speeds. Downside is that you can only shoot at 720.

Tinsley Mortimer Hosts a Shiba Rescue Benefit at Samantha Thavasa
Filed under: Handbags, Charity, Big Givers, Celebrity Design
Don't beat yourself up if you haven't heard of Samantha Thavasa. The luxury-cute handbag line only has one store in the United States (965 Madison Avenue, NYC). Their market? Japan, where they have over 160 stores.
Samantha Thavasa was founded in 1994 by its CEO and president Kazumasa Terada, and Tinsley Mortimer designs a subcollection of bags for them. It's a smart move on both parts -- Tinsley certainly knows fashion, and Samantha Thavasa's target audience, young Japanese girls, love American socialites and celebrities. Previous ad campaigns have featured the Hilton sisters, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Solange, and Brit social queen Victoria Beckham.
Last Wednesday night, Mortimer hosted a benefit at Samantha Thavasa for Shiba Inu Rescue. NYC Shiba Rescue is a two-year-old non profit which provides foster homes for abused Shibas (a trendy Japanese breed) and finds them new owners across the tri-state area. We asked NYCSR president Zennia Barahona how the benefit came about:
Zennia Barahona: [Samantha Thavasana] contacted us. They wanted to do a fundraiser for a New York based organization, but on the other hand, they wanted to be able to do something that also coincided with their Japanese roots. We're able to get the word out about Shiba and other pure bred rescue, and people get to shop, so it's a great thing!
Luxist: Why pure breds?
ZB: When most people want a specific pure-bred dog, they think to go to a pet store, and we want to discourage people from doing that. We're really trying to educate people about puppy mills, and the dangers of that. But we also take in shiba mixes. We love them as well. If you want to get a dog, especially a pure-bred, definitely look at rescue and see if there's a dog that fits your lifestyle.
L: And what are Shiba Inus like?
ZB: Shibas can be quite aloof. They're very loyal to their humans but they can be aloof. They can be stubborn. They're very intelligent, very sweet -- their intelligence can lend itself to a great relationship, but it can also lead to training problems.
Ha! We love dogs with a little spirit. Click here if you're interested in adopting or becoming a foster home. Next we chatted with Ms. Mortimer about her designs, dogs, Japan, and how she feels like she's working for Disneyworld!

HOW TO: Get Clear Skin
I am almost guaranteed to receive a question or email from a reader on a weekly basis asking how to clear up skin. It seems that everyone is battling with breakouts that continue to rear their heads beyond the teenage years and well into the twenties and thirties.
I have compiled this 'how to' based on my own experience with my skin - after a relatively clear run in my teens I struggled with pimples and blackheads throughout my twenties. Nothing major - at most I probably had three or four pimples at once, mainly on my chin and forehead, but enough to get me down.
The tips below have transformed my skin, and I hardly ever break out anymore (and when I do, it's usually because I haven't been following my own advice!). I hope that they work for you too, and please feel free to share your own experience and tips.
Cleanse less: Yep, you heard me. I used to stock up on every anti-acne, blemish busting, salicylic acid based product on the planet. And yet I still broke out. Since going clean, I have switched to kinder, gentler cleansers, and I haven't looked back. Although it seems counterintuitive, conventional, chemical heavy cleansers that are supposedly made to target oily and breakout prone skin are incredibly stripping, which in turn encourages skin to produce more oil, which then leads to more breakouts - which then leads to using more stripping products to try to get rid of them! It's a vicious cycle. Break this cycle by using a gentle, pure cleanser - cleansing oils and balms are brilliant - which will get skin back on track to regulate its own oil production. It might take a few weeks for your skin to get used to this, but it will happen. Your skin is a very clever organ.(As a side note, I actually found that once my skin got back in balance, I had dry, not oily skin as I had always previously thought!).
In a similar vein, I now only cleanse once a day, at night, and simply splash my face with water in the morning (unless I use a particularly heavy treatment the night before). This is for the same reason: to get skin regulating its own production and not disrupting its balance.
Eat your way to good skin: Whether we like it or not, diet plays a HUGE role in skin. Since cutting back dramatically on sugar, my skin is clearer, brighter, and softer (not to mention the other benefits - less mood swings, a clearer head, and less tummy fat!). I also try to avoid soy and dairy, as in my experience if I eat too much of either they will also lead to breakouts. If I binge on junk food I will immediately see the effects on my skin over the next week - and it's not pretty. I also add lots of chia seeds and coconut oil to my diet (I love to throw them into a hot bowl of porridge), as these supply the skin with good fats to keep it plump, glowing and hydrated.
Get into clay: Clay based masks are brilliant at giving congested skin a little jump start to purge impurities and heal existing blemishes. I use one once a fortnight to keep skin in top condition - it's a great Sunday night ritual.
Don't scare your skin: In addition to my former life as a Lover of Oil-Stripping Cleansers, I must also confess to trying just about every 'overnight pimple zapper' under the sun. At the merest hint of a pimple I would drop a dollop of (usually salicylic acid based) potion on it. Yet my skin didn't get better - in fact, I found that these treatments usually left skin dried out, frazzled and red. So I stopped. And just ignored pimples, and let them do their own thing, and heal themselves. And again, my skin's ability to help itself amazed me. Sure, pimples took a little longer to go away, but they never erupted into a sore, inflamed spot, which meant they were far less noticeable (and much easier to cover with a little dab of concealer), and just gradually disappeared without a fight. I've also noticed that my skin scars far less with this approach.
Product recommendations: I've tried to keep this post general rather than list specific products, as it's more of a guideline on how to care for skin rather than a hardwired regime. But sometimes you just want a recommendation, straight up, so here are the products that I have used and liked:
- Stark Skincare Green Tea Detox Clay Mask
- Planet Eve Organics Cleansing Oil
- Coconut oil
- Dr Alkaitis Soothing Gel
- Spiezia Organic Facial Cleanser
- MV Organics Gentle Cream Cleanser
So, if I could summarise my clear skin regime in one sentence, it would simply be:
Be kind to your skin and to yourself.
You will be amazed at what this will do.

about the exhibition
International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 05.1
Cruz Ortiz
San Antonio, TX
March 23–May 08, 2005
about the artistCruz Ortiz uses print, performance, and video to embrace issues relating to his experience growing up in the bicultural landscape of South Texas. Replacing classical icons with symbols of contemporary pop culture such as taco trucks, canned beans, and an alter ego named Spaztek, Ortiz's work maintains a tense relationship with consumerism and his heritage. One is never sure whether he is selling an idea, a product, or a revolution.
While much of Ortiz's work has focused on the idea and efficacy of protests in the post-Civil Rights era, a related strain explores the type of melancholic love sung about in Conjunto, Tejano, and Country music. Through videos and prints Spaztek futilely chases amor just as protestors long to create change. With a methodological approach that often forsakes institutional space for guerilla tactics and public outreach, Ortiz's work is multi-layered, cross-cultural, and unconventionally charged.
Born in Houston, TX in 1972, Cruz Ortiz lives in San Antonio, TX, where he received his BFA from The University of Texas at San Antonio in 2000. Solo shows include Dallas Center for Contemporary Art, TX (2003) and the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, San Antonio, TX (2001). Group exhibitions include ev+a, Limerick, Ireland (2005); San Juan Triennial, Puerto Rico (2004); and San Antonio Museum of Art, TX (2001).
about the project
For the installation but still I'd leap in front of a flyin' bullet for you, Cruz Ortiz uses screen prints, videos, performance, and homemade signs in Spaztek's quest to understand the world and his relationships. The electric colors and quick handcrafted aesthetic opens a conversation with the populist history of "Chicano" art and culture inflected by a postmodern, Punk understanding.
The installation employs the venerable tradition of storytelling while staging a thoroughly contemporary assault on the senses. Gallery walls have been plastered with a series of four-foot wide hand-pulled screen prints offering glimpses of Spaztek's life. Grainy photos inked in black show Devil Girl, his sassy tormentor/sweetheart with horns, putting on lipstick, hanging out with friends, and tempting with sultry stares. Texts and signs articulate Spaztek's forlorn nature. Soy un boring lover is spelled in enormous block letters on red paper while necio (rowdy or silly) is sculpted in cardboard.
The story continues with video works projected five feet wide on free-standing red and white billboards. On one, a live web cam streams scenes of devil girls drinking at a local dive bar while the other features the video Spaztek finds his heart burning in the parking lot, a dizzying, six-minute series of quick cuts. The character numbs heartache with tequila, stumbles around in search of his heart, and finally finds it as a burning tire.
Through Spaztek, Ortiz approaches fundamental questions about what we live for—love or the chase, action or effort—all the while exploring what "Chicano" art is in the contemporary moment.
