By Ian Parfrey
Bojan Bogdanovic is a 24-year old sharpshooting small forward from Bosnia. In 2011, the Miami Heat took him with the #31 pick, but immediately swapped him to the Timberwolves for the rights to Norris Cole. The Nets then sent their 2013 second-rounder to Minnesota for Bogdanovic's rights. The Nets have no second-round pick this year, but they have something better.
Don't confuse him with
Bogdanovic, a 20-year old shooting guard from Serbia, who declared for this year's draft. I can't wait to see a boxscore with the two of them playing each other.
Back to Bojan– he averaged 15.9 points for Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce Ulker this season, while making 40.5% of his threes.
Unfortunately, Bojan doesn't do a lot of other things. He averaged 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per 28 minutes this year, and his DraftExpress profile from 2011 warned that he was defensively "below average at best at the European level, and could have major issues guarding his position in the NBA."
Bojan is an atypical European prospect. The Euro League churns out low-ceiling Swiss-Army-knife forwards (they do a lot of things, but nothing particularly well) by the dozens, Mirza Teletovic being one example.
I tried to find NBA comparables for Bojan– players who were good at shooting and scoring, but racked up very few rebounds or assists. Here's the complete list: Dale Ellis, Peja Stojakovic, Eric Piatkowski, Pat Garrity, Anthony Morrow. I might also add Danny Granger as a best-case scenario, since Bojan will definitely be better at creating his own shot than Anthony Morrow. He's also a more complete player than Steve Novak, though the same issues (can he shoot well enough to keep himself on the court?) may apply.
Bojan is expected to receive the Nets' mid-level exception (3 years, $9.8 million), and the Nets will only have minimum contracts to offer in free agency as a result.
Is this a good thing? There might be slightly better uses of that salary-cap slot– Matt Barnes, Martell Webster, Tony Allen– but Bojan has more upside than just about anyone willing to sign for $3.1 million. Kyle Korver is probably out of the Nets' price range.
How does he fit in? You could make a pretty good offense/defense combination at the small forward with him and Gerald Wallace. If Bojan's shooting prowess carries over to the NBA, he'll significantly improve the often-dreadful floor spacing the Nets had this year.
Bojan's success or failure may be determined by whoever the Nets hire as their next head coach. Deron Williams has asked for a "creative offense," which would be a good thing for a guy with Bojan's abilities. Billy King has made some remarks about establishing a defensive identity, which doesn't play to Bojan's strengths.

The Green Mill is one of the most famous jazz clubs in Chicago. It used to be a hangout for Al Capone and his henchmen but now is one of Chicago's hottest jazz clubs. Dixieland, traditional, bebop, contemporary, progressive - played by such legendary figures as Von Freeman, Franz Jackson and Wilbur Campbell, as well as young lions Kurt Elling, Eric Alexander and Orbert Davis. All capture the broad spectrum of jazz from its root rhythms in New Orleans to New York avant-garde. Deep smokey jazz sounds fill the club in the early morning hours when soulful musicians continue to express their love of jazz by jamming 'til the early dawn.

:: Home > Sports > Top Gear team filming on Transfagarasan road
© europics
24. 09. 09. - 12:00
24. 09. 09. - 12:00
The Top Gear team is currently filming on the Transfagarasan road in central Romania where roads have been closed for two days at their request.
After driving their Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin cars through the tunnels of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's huge construction, the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May headed for the Transfagarasan area, one of the most spectacular in Romanias Carpathian Mountains.
According to local highway officials, the Transfagarasan road is closed between Balea Lac and Bales Fall today (Thurs) from 11am to 7pm and will be closed tomorrow from 6am to 1pm.
The team filmed yesterday near Vidraru Dam, built in 1965. The lake behind it covers 893 hectares surface and is 166 metres deep. The dam is known as one of the highest structures for bunjee jumping in Europe.
The team had a traditional Romanian supper last night at local resort Micutul Vrajitor ("The Little Wizard") in Capataneni in Arges county.
"We offered them traditional peasant soup and barbecue, at their wish. They were all very friendly; they didnt act like stars but like normal people. They all liked our natural ingredients. Our place is in a rural area and everything we use is completely natural," said Dana Barsan, the owner of the resort that opened four year ago.
"Were proud we had them as our guests", she added.
Barsan is very proud of the area visited by the famous British guests. "The area near Vidraru and Transfagarasan is the most beautiful in the country," she said.
Tranfagarasan is the highest road in Romania, climbing up to 2,034 metres. It runs north and south across the tallest part of the Carpathian Mountains between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu, and the second highest, Negoiu. The road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia, rising from 1,034 to 2,034 metres in only 30 kilometres.

Pushing against the widespread image of tour operators as the Luddites of the travel industry, a handful are starting to invest in apps and mobile websites that enable both travel professionals and consumers to explore tour products on their tablets and smartphones.Even so, these operators are the exception, and for the most part even they are focusing only on digital brochures and catalogs of their products, rather than on a fully interactive interface capable of taking bookings. But in many cases there are sound reasons for the slow rate of adoption.Last week, the Globus Family of Brands launched mobile websites for its Globus and Cosmos brands, making all four of its travel brands — including Monograms and Avalon Waterways, which launched mobile sites in late March and late 2012, respectively — accessible via mobile devices. Steve Born, Globus' vice president of marketing, said that implementing technology that offers both consumers and travel agents a mobile interface to the brands' Web content will give Globus a competitive advantage, and he sees it as a necessary investment given the prevalence and continuing growth of smartphones and tablets."Tour operators and river cruise companies in the online space are not real innovators," Born said, acknowledging the segment's reputation for slow adoption. But he said the company's own research on mobile device usage revealed that in the travel segment, people are using their mobile devices not just to search airfares and hotels but increasingly to search for packages. Already, he said, Avalon is drawing 10% of its total Web traffic from the mobile site that Globus launched for the brand several months ago.When the company conducted research on tour operators with mobile sites, "We only found one other tour operator at the time who had a mobile site — one student operator," Born said. "It seemed like a real opportunity."Many tour operators acknowledge the pervasiveness of travelers and agents using mobile devices to access Web content, but they say they're not yet convinced that the time is right to provide mobile sites and apps.A spokesman for G Adventures, for example, acknowledged that a large portion of the traffic to its websites arrives via mobile devices. He added that the company is aware of the potential of a mobile interface and is looking into "bringing the G experience to the mobile space for both consumers and the agent community in the future."Noel Fitzgerald, director of agency and supplier relationships for the online booking provider VAX VacationAccess, said her company also recognizes that a mobile interface needs to be part of its strategy going forward.She wrote that VAX "is aware of the growing demand" for such an interface, "and as we continue to improve and evolve the site, we will consider the mobile strategy." Fitzgerald said VAX knows that many agents already use their tablets and phones to make bookings on the VAX website, so the company is looking into design and functionality enhancements that will improve that experience.For the Travel Corporation, the issue is where best to invest. And for now, said TravCorp President Richard Launder, money is better spent working with agents via existing technology rather than overhauling the company's mobile capabilities. He noted that most of the company's numerous tour operator brands "are very travel agent-centric and so tend to invest in their sales teams instead."In fact, travel agents interviewed for this report said they were not necessarily looking to do bookings on a mobile app or site because tour itineraries are often too complicated to complete on a handheld device. What they would find really helpful, they said, is mobile technology that would enable them to access client reservations and destination information while on the move."As a travel consultant, I would love to see more tour operators use mobile technology for booking support," said Leah Smith, president of Garden Grove, Calif.-based Tafari Travel. "I am often traveling or on the go, and being able to access client reservations or even make payments through a mobile app would really help me do my job, whether I am on the road or in the office."Smith said the most useful mobile technology that tour operators could provide would be the ability to send itineraries, photos and destination information to her clients via mobile interfaces.Lesley Egbert, owner of Helena, Mont.-based Longitude Travel, said she, too, would be reluctant to book through apps. "It's too much detailed information to enter without a keyboard," she said. "I find the iPad too glitchy and my Android phone too small for the things I need to do."She would, however, still like the ability to access bookings and make modifications to them via mobile. And she said she is constantly using mobile apps for research.Contiki Holidays, a TravCorp brand that focuses solely on the 18- to 35-year-old demographic, introduced a mobile website in January 2012 and followed that up in September with an iPhone app and, more recently, with an Android app. Contiki reports that 30% of its Web traffic comes from mobile users. As of now, Contiki doesn't offer booking capability via the mobile site or app."We don't really see it as a preferred booking channel," Contiki USA President Melissa da Silva said of the app, which the company calls Shout. She said Contiki's app was created primarily for consumers. In fact, Shout is intended to be used only after travelers book to help them connect with other travelers on their trip.As for the trade, "if the travel agent community wanted to book through a mobile site, we would definitely support that," da Silva said. But she noted that the majority of travel agents still call the reservation center to make bookings, or they book online at the company's website.Some agents expressed concern that mobile technology could become a way for tour operators to reach consumers directly and bypass agents.Smith, for example, said that rather than focus on consumer-interfacing mobile technology, "I would love to see tour operators create mobile technology that aids our efforts in selling their trips."The Globus mobile sites are a good example of an operator doing just that.Globus does not yet offer booking capability on its mobile sites, which have two main functions: a search feature, so that customers and agents can browse available tours, packages and river cruises; and a travel agent locator function, to connect customers with retailers.Tours remain a complicated product to book, and mobile sites and apps usually contain less product information. "You have to connect [consumers] to a human being who can provide them with that information," Born said. Despite the slow pace of adoption by tour operators and the reluctance of both operators and agents to add booking capabilities, Resmark Technology, a Salt Lake City-based software company, recently developed a mobile booking system that enables clients to book tours and activities on their smartphones or tablets.Resmark's founder, Brandon Lake, said that if tour companies have online booking capabilities, they should be able to translate that into mobile booking capabilities with relative ease — with one major exception."For a company that has a custom [online booking] system that they've developed, it could be very difficult to go to mobile," Lake said, because "they could be so pigeonholed into desktop."In addition, Lake acknowledged that for some larger tour operators with complicated systems, the "big hurdle is really budget."Nevertheless, mobile is clearly the future. The ability to book tours and packages on their smartphones or tablets is the direction customers and agents are headed, Born noted. And it's where tour operators are going to have to be sooner or later.Follow Michelle Baran on Twitter @mbtravelweekly.

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West reportedly previewed new tracks from his upcoming Good A** Job album in New York City over the weekend.
West unveiled four new songs in a lower Manhattan nightclub.
He's back! After a long hiatus from the nightlife scene, Kanye West made an appearance at LES hotspot CV on Saturday night. And fans of the "College Dropout" got more than just a sighting. We hear he gave the deejay four tracks from his upcoming album to play for the crowd. "Josh Hartnett and Kid Cudi were both there, and they immediately got up and started dancing," said one spy. "Kanye stayed with his own entourage in a corner booth, but looked pretty pleased." (NY Daily News)
DJ Semtex recently spoke on what fans could expect to hear from West's new project.
"The album is coming in September. Okay, so I've heard the first Kanye West joint. I was sworn to secrecy. All I can say is it is banging. If that's a taste of what's coming on the album, he has smacked it. Lyrically….he is saying things like, 'Wow, he said that?' It is going to shock everybody, the first record." (Miss LS)
Producer Pharrell Williams also recently discussed Ye's upcoming record.
"I had the chance to listen to the new Kanye West album. I think that people are going to be shocked. His precedent was crazy, this new one goes even farther." (Nah Right)
DJ Premier talked about the sound of Ye's upcoming album in a recent interview.
"Well, first of all, if you look at all of Kanye West's output, he actually did a lot to bring back sampling and make it cool again, even though he's more of a mainstream artist" Premier explained. "But his new album is strictly hard beats and rhyme. He's totally done with electro. You're gonna be surprised what you hear." (Amajanese)
No further details have been revealed as of now.
Check out some details on Kanye West's new album down below:

AT&T Sponsorship Activation
BBC America
A hugely successful digital activation for sponsor AT&T, powered by the LViS Anytime Quiz app, which could be embedded in sites as well as opened through social calls to action on Facebook and Twitter.
Horse Tracker
Channel 4 & Paddy Power
#1 Award-winning app that re-invented horse racing for mainstream audiences using live sports tracking data
The Million Pound Drop
Channel 4
The BAFTA award-winning live second screen play-along app with 2.7 million installs and a profitable freemium content model. One of the world's most successful examples of interaction with broadcast television.
Our Gamification project for Roland Garros and Tour de France has been a big success, in terms of creativity, quality of the second screen engagement, appreciation by the viewers and project management. The LViS platform enables scalability, shorter periods of development and a great user interface for live producers.
LViS gives our development team the tools and framework they need to quickly and easily deliver on our business objectives.
Channel 4's app for the Million Pound Drop game show has been the poster child for second screen apps, with some two million downloads to date and a live audience usage rate of 12%.
Monterosa are much more than a technology company, they combine creative and editorial solutions with cutting edge second screen software.
Monterosa is one of the few companies that could have delivered the Million Pound Drop playalong game in an eight week turnaround for series one. They have been very collaborative, worked hard to deliver to tight deadlines and striven with us to continue to innovate with the launch of the Million Pound Drop app for tablet and mobile. I look forward to working with them in the future.
One of Endemol's biggest global formats, The Million Pound Drop is enduringly popular on the second screen, and the iOS and Android app has gathered a huge following since its release in 2012.
Sunday 25th May is the first day of Rolland Garros, a.k.a. the French Open and France Télévisions have licenced and customised our shiny new, real-time LViS Sports Predictor HTML5 app, to activate fans of both the live stream and the TV broadcast.

The lutungs are a group of Old World monkeys and make up the entirety of the genus Trachypithecus. Their range is split into two parts; one part is much of southeast Asia (northeast India, southern China, Borneo, Thailand, Java and Bali), the other part is extreme southern India and Sri Lanka. The greater part of India has lutungs. Most of the species in this genus can be referred to as lutungs, as langurs, or as leaf...

UK smart meters arrive in 2020. Hackers have ALREADY found a flaw
Change the government's mind?
For those who don't want to have "smart meters" introduced via legislation, it strikes me that there's an obvious way to get this government to change its mind - simply get your MEP to make the EU mandate the introduction. Then this government will immediately object to yet another wasteful imposition from Brussels costing the hard-working families of Britain billions (only, this time they'll be right).
One million people have bonked on London public transport
There'll be little demand for your app.....
"..... buses are free but the Underground isn't."
That's true only for holders of the "bus pass" who live outside London. Residents of London over the age of 60 can apply for a pass (Oyster60+ or the FreedomPass if over the StatePension eligibility threshold) which gives free travel on London buses, London Underground, and most overground trains within the London region (though there are some restrictions on trains eg not before 09:30 Mon-Fri). Merseyside has a similar scheme for its older residents.
Bracelet could protect user herds from lurking PREDATORS
I use a trackball rather than a mouse - my hand and wrist remain completely stationary even though the pointer is zooming around the screen.
Still, it's an interesting technology, though I fail to see how it's better than a token+sensor that activates the system only when the token is less than a metre from the sensor.

There's a much more prosaic reason for his design transgressions - according to legend, he was blind.....
Re: Sunbeam S7 & S8
The old (1946-'50s) Sunbeams, with a parallel twin engine, suffered badly from the inherent engine vibration. After the prototypes fell apart, mounting the engine on flexible rubber bushes in the frame was the only solution which made riding the thing tenable. If the engine is suddenly revved, then the engine would be expected to rock on its mountings. Such was the design brilliance of the British motorcycle industry in the post-war years, that Sunbeam retained the rigid mounting for the silencer...... Guess what? Rather than design the dratted thing properly, they introduced a length of flexible pipe between the exhaust pipe and the silencer. And that's ignoring the use of a worm-gear at the rear wheel which couldn't handle anything more than the modest torque of the original engine. Was it pride or stubborness that blinded them to all the benefits of the transverse-mounted flat-twin as demonstrated by Douglas, BMW, etc? At least Velocette a few years later showed how to do the job properly with the little LE; unfortunately, the market for which is was specifically designed disappeared with the availability of low-cost secondhand cars and the production the BMC Mini.
And when the inevitable happens?
How does one get a half-ton bike vertical again when one leg of the prop-stand lands on a bit of ground that can't support a quarter of a ton?
PS: If the author thinks a £75 ticket is pricey for a motoring event, then he obviously hasn't seen the admission prices for the British GP at Silverstone.
Adam Afriyie MP: Smart meters are NOT so smart
".... and the energy company EDF has said that a smartphone app would be quicker to roll-out and cheaper for consumers."
How would the 'smartphone app' work without changing the meter? My guess is that the energy companies have zero interest in consumer monitoring of energy demand but a keen interest in monitoring each consumer's usage AND the ability to remotely disconnect or 'reduce to the statutory minimum energy flow to preserve life' without having to send out a crew to cut the cable.

Parliament network prang: 'Supplier done it', no Office 365 yet
Don't they keep a log of changes?
"As the estate is used by several thousand people, 'these IT connections and security systems are very complex', and required a 'significant amount of investigative work' to identify the problem."
If the estate is complex, surely they have a change log procedure in place? Why did it need much investigation? All they had to do was to look at the log for changes made just before the problem started to appear.
But then the Director of Parliamentary ICT probably has no more trust in what the politicians say than we do.....

Battle of Bletchley Park: TNMOC chief calls for review of museums' Mexican standoff
BPT's single ticketing proposal
As I understand Bletchley Park Trust's proposal for "single ticketing", BPT would pocket £15 and the Museum would get £2. But the standard admission charge for the Museum is £5 (£2 just for the Gallery which is all that BPT's single ticketing seems to offer). Would it be a surprise that the Museum would fear a substantial fall in revenue?
Methinks they'll now be spending some of that £8M Lottery funding on a better PR agency......
And Bletchley Park Trust sees itself as the daddy of the family!

Sysadmins fail to fix NHS IT snafu, HUNDREDS of appointments cancelled

"NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) had to cancel 288 outpatient appointments yesterday along with four planned inpatient procedures, 23 day cases and 40 chemotherapy treatments when IT systems crashed."
With such a huge scale of operations across Glasgow, the quoted loss of activity is tiny. I'll bet the usual daily DNAs plus cancellations due to staff/theatre non-availability is ten times greater.....

Snowden journo's boyfriend 'had crypto key for thumb-drive files written down' - cops
Re: Remarkable.
I have to fundamentally disagree with you.
Whilst I might find the actions of a despotic regime in a foreign country obnoxious, I have no standing. However, when the actions of the government of the country of which I am a citizen go beyond the limits of civilized behaviour, I have the right, indeed the duty, to protest.
Look more closely at what the government's submission said
To expand on what this government representative actually claimed in his submission, quoted in the BBC news item:
"[a] piece of paper containing basic instructions for accessing some data, together with a piece of paper that included the password for decrypting one of the encrypted files on the external hard drive".
ONE of the files?
Could it be that the file which Miranda had instructions on how to open contained contact information for a lawyer to assist if detained or even Rusbridger's phone number?
The government stooge also said that "many of the files were encrypted". So what was so damaging in the unencrypted files that their contents haven't been leaked by the government? His shopping list perhaps?

Big Pharma spitting feathers!
Now that the US Administration has blocked the ITC from implementing a ban which the ITC quasi-judicial process has arrived at, on the grounds of US "public interest", just how much notice should other nations take of representations from US companies when local "public interest" overrides foreign-owned patents? US pharmaceutical companies must be worried today.....
Re: Typical American behaviour @LPF
You (and Florian Mueller) are entitled to your opinion, but surely isn't the key issue that the US ITC holds a different view and banned the Apple products? The US Administration blocked the importation ban on the grounds of "public interest", not the rights and wrongs of any licence negotiations.

EU minimum tax rates
I understand that there's a minimum rate for VAT across the EU, with exceptions having to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis (eg only 5% VAT on domestic fuel in the UK). Why can't there be a minimum rate for corporate tax rates?
Or will we then see generous tax refunds in the form of "incentives for investment" from governments determined to 'beggar-my-neighbour'?

Smart metering will disrupt weather forecasts, warns Met Office
Switching off the washing machine?
How would switching off a washing machine save electricity? If I switch off my washing machine at the wall socket, when power is restored I have to start the washing cycle from scratch - that *wastes* electricity!
Anyway, what sort of smartmeter can suspend a washing machine's operation without cutting off everything? Surely this can only work if we all have smart devices which can communicate with the smart meter. What's the capital investment required to replace all the high-consumption, but interruptible, devices?
Re: Alternative
My mother-in-law had a water meter fitted last year. That allows remote reading by the meter-man using Bluetooth. The plumber who installed it said the meter charges the Bluetooth device from the flow of water through the turbine inside the meter. I'd have thought the same principle would work for a gas or electricity meter.

From Microsoft's perspective, getting the customer to buy Premium Enterprise and Business Intelligence editions rather than Standard is much "better", so they intend to promote this by changing the incentives for the sales force. What are the odds that solutions offered to the customer will suddenly no longer include the Standard (non-rebated) versions?

Re: robots.txt is bollocks
I think John Lilburne is right that the robots.txt has to cover all possible URL combinations. In further testing to check the dates of the web-pages on my site indexed on Google, the cached option shows that Google last crawled my web-site on 13-Feb! So my robots.txt is either broken or Google doesn't respect it. I'll modify the robots file and then monitor Google for a few years........
Re: robots.txt is bollocks
I too naively hoped that Google and the other search engines would respect robots.txt. So, before posting a reply here to say "Of course robots.txt will do the job", I went to check Google for anything from my little web-site that is supposed to disallow all search engines.
Sorry, guys, but it's there on Google! Either my robots.txt* is broken or Google is displaying the original pages from the few weeks between the website going live and robots.txt being enabled, in 2005!

El Reg seeks hoardiest reader for crap-stashtic honour
Re: Too late...
V2000? Ah, you're using the modern technology - I've only got a (working) Philips N1700 video recorder from 1979 with a stack of VCR150 tapes carrying such programmes as Michael Woods' original "In Search of ..'"series on the Anglo-Saxons (you know, the one about Eric Bloodaxe).
And, no, I'm not submitting any photos of my collection - someone might recognise and break in to steal one of the "valuable IT antiques" such as the original dBaseII (autographed by Mr Ashton himself), Multimate-II, Crosstalk or Displaywrite4 boxed sets. Oops, I shouldn't I have said that, should I!
The hoarder's dilemma, or 'Why can't I throw anything away?'
It may be scrap, but it's got memories associated with it!
I can't claim anything really old, but a few examples from my hoard:
An Anderson-Jacobson AJ832 30cps daisy-wheel terminal (printer and keyboard) complete with pedestal on castors, bought by my wife in the late '70s for data-entry, retired in the late '80s and acquired in 1989 when they moved offices. Ideal for printing on fan-fold paper. Used since 1989? Never.
A K&N acoustic coupler - the sort that you put the telephone handset inside and closed the wooden lid. Maximum speed: 300bps.
Umpteen IBM token-ring ISA & MCA adaptors, a couple of hubs and a sackful of cables, all made redundant when I (reluctantly) switched to 100base-T Ethernet.
The 10" platter and heads from a DEC exchangeable disk pack of unknown age (it was scrap in 1980).
Half-a-dozen IBM PS/2 keyboards, over twenty years old but still our favourite keyboard - I'm typing on one now.
And an old favourite from the '70s and beyond: my paper-tape hand punch with integral guillotine - essential for splicing paper-tape for input to the 1904S. Ah, happy days......
Samsung claims Apple jury foreman LIED to get REVENGE

If you read the transcript of the questioning of the prospective jurors by the judge, you'll see that whilst she explores the one case that Hogan does reveal, she immediately moves on without checking "And were there any other lawsuits you've been involved in?". Hogan may defend his apparent lack of candour by claiming that he wasn't given the opportunity to reveal the earlier cases.
EU, US edge closer to mega-transatlantic patent system
What are these "major efficiency savings"?
The CPC project is entirely laudable (what's taken them so long?). But I question Benoît Battistelli's prediction of "major efficiency savings". Just where do these savings come from? At the end of the EPO press release there is: "It is also expected to enhance efficiency by supporting work-sharing initiatives designed to reduce unnecessary work duplication", but that doesn't sound "major". In fact, what does it mean? Does it mean "we're planning to match applications submitted to both USTPO and EPO, to assign the research to one or other office and to grant or reject patents as if they were one organisation"? I share the fears of what might be EPO's unspoken long-term goal implied by "the CPC will be a stepping stone towards a more general harmonisation of the world's patent systems".
Anyway, what practical difference will this unified classification scheme make to the USTPO? I thought, perhaps I'm wrong, that USTPO were constrained in where to look for prior art, and it doesn't include non-US patents. So how would being able to search European patents just as easily as US patents save them any effort? And that's making the enormous assumption that the USTPO does search their own patents for prior art before granting a patent........
Apple demands $707m more from Samsung
Re: In fairness, should also report Samsung asking for a retrial

And presumably the advert-supported channels won't be too happy either.

STEUBEN COUNTY, N.Y. -- Guthrie Corning Hospital is alerting patients to a possible health risk that certain people may have been exposed to.
The hospital says a former nurse did not follow proper infection control when administering single use saline IV flushes. Although the risk of possible infections is considered low, officials have asked the more than 200 patients who received the flush to seek precautionary testing through the hospital, free of charge. Those individuals all should have received informational packets. If you didn't receive one then you weren't affected.
Patients who receive a letter are asked to call a special toll-free number, 1-855-316-7944, to set up an appointment.

MERRILLVILLE, Ind. – Some northwestern Indiana officials are pushing for a local ordinance banning low-riding pants out in public that they say flash too much underwear.
Merrillville Councilman Don Spann said he's seen many people walking along the street with their pants hanging around the buttocks and that many residents support the Lake County town adopting some clothing rules.
The Times of Munster reports (http://bit.ly/H0A14p) that the proposal would impose possible fines, but not criminal charges, for people wearing their pants more than 3 inches below the hip in public places.
Council President Shawn Pettit said he thinks the saggy pants look is terrible but he doesn't know whether the town can legally restrict how people wear their pants.
He suggested considering having the ban apply only at parks and other town-owned property.
