Journalists will miss out without Mitt
Dana Milbank
WASHINGTON — "The media wants to beat up Mitt Romney," Sean Hannity told his Fox News viewers this week, "which is driving me nuts."
Me too, Sean. Much as I'd like to see Hannity driven nuts, I agree that we in the media have been far too rough on the Republican presidential nominee. In fact, I send this urgent appeal to my fellow members of the lamestream media: Please go easy on the guy — for our own sake.
First, Romney was pounded for his false and tone-deaf statements about the attacks on U.S. embassies in Libya and Egypt; in a weak moment, I joined in the criticism.
Then Politico came out Sunday night with an article titled "Inside the campaign: How Mitt Romney stumbled," discourteously detailing all sorts of infighting and missteps.
Worst of all was Monday, when my friend David Corn had the temerity to post on Mother Jones a surreptitiously recorded video of Romney dismissing nearly half the country as moochers.
At this rate, Romney will surely lose the election — and for journalism, this would be a tragedy.
At these times of declining revenue, we in the media need to stay true to our core interests. As the old saying goes, we should "vote the story." And the better story in this election is clearly a President Romney.
Romney's hit parade — insulting the British, inviting Clint Eastwood to the Republican convention, flubbing Libya and now dismissing half the nation as parasites — may make good copy for the next seven weeks. But if we go easy on the man, we could have four years of gaffes instead of just seven more weeks. Admittedly, this may not be the best outcome for the country, or for the world. But in this race, there is no denying that one man will give us much better material.
President Obama has many talents, but he is not good copy. He speaks grammatically, in fully formed paragraphs. He has yet to produce a scandal of any magnitude. He is maddeningly on message, and his few gaffes — "you didn't build that," "the private sector is doing fine" — are inflammatory only out of context.
Romney, by contrast, has truly blossomed in the gaffe department this cycle, when he became a one-man blooper reel:
"Corporations are people, my friend."
"I like being able to fire people."
"I'm not concerned about the very poor."
"I'm also unemployed."
"Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs."
"$10,000 bet?"
"I have some great friends that are NASCAR team owners."
In addition, Romney frequently gives the media fresh opportunities to rerun the blooper reel with his attempts to explain the original mistakes. This goes back to his explanation for why he strapped his dog Seamus to the top of the family car: The dog "enjoyed himself" up there.
More recently, Romney offered this explanation for his claim that Obama was making America a less Christian nation. "I'm not familiar precisely with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was," he said.
Saying zany things and then standing by them: From a presidential nominee, this is newsworthy. From a president, it could be sensational.
Usually, reporters have little trouble recognizing our self-interest. For all of Newt Gingrich's complaints about media bias during his primary candidacy, reporters fantasized about a Gingrich presidency.
We should do the same now as we consider a Romney presidency: gaffes in news conferences, diplomatic slights or ham-handed attempts to placate conservatives in Congress. This is exactly the man our industry needs.

Yes, that would be me... I apologize for being away for so long. Trust me, I have been a busy little bee flying around--working on my house, planning details for the wedding {meeting with florists, picking our save-the-dates}, and partaking in all the festivities from my BFF's wedding last weekend in Knoxville. But I promise to get back in the swing of things and devote more attention here:
A few weeks ago, I did finish another friend's order for her wedding calligraphy, Brittany. She is marrying her love Michael the last weekend in September here in Nashville and she called on me for help in addressing her envelopes, to which of course I shouted YES!
Here is a sample of her finished envelopes {the Miller style}, with the finished details...
Congratulations Brittany and Michael... I know your wedding is going to be FABULOUS!
And in other news, I let myself buy a book online--thank you Amazon--that will help me learn the fine art of mastering Copperplate Calligraphy... this is the epitomy of the classic couture style of writing, and I am determined to teach myself each and every stroke. Granted, this will take a lot of time, but I am excited to get started so that I can hopefully use this style to hand address our envelopes that will go out to our guests next spring... fingers crossed this works, but I have heard incredible things about this book and how it's the "end all" so we will see =)

Khloe Kardashian Gets Warning From Her Family About French Montana
April 15, 2014 03:00 PM by Lisa Princ
All of the buzz on Twitter these days surrounding Khloe Kardashian is about her possible new relationship with hip hop star French Montana, even though neither of them have confirmed anything. But something must be going on, because everyone seems to be ready to warn Khloe about Montana – even her own family!
Khloe Kardashian and French Montana may not be ready to admit that they are dating, but the photos and videos snagged of the couple recently definitely speak volumes. And recently, Montana's estranged wife issued a warning about him for Khloe, insisting that he is a deadbeat, while his other lover, rapper Trina was reportedly devastated by the news that French has been hooking up with Khloe. Now, you didn't think Khloe's family would sit back and keep quiet, did you? Nope! In typical Kardashian fashion, one of them has already warned Khloe about hooking up with French.
However, it wasn't busy body Kris Jenner that had anything to say recently, but instead, it was big sister Kim Kardashian who had a talk with Khloe about Montana, according to our friends at Radar Online. "Kim has said that Kanye doesn't have any family problems or past relationships that hold him back from completely loving her and so that's what she wants for Khloe. She wants to see her sister happy and she's worried that French isn't going to be able to fully commit to her sister. But the comparison irritates Khloe," one family insider dished to the site.
Kim is reportedly bothered by all of the baby mama and female drama French has going on his life, and she doesn't want to see Khloe getting hurt again after what she went through with Lamar. Something tells us that this has more to do with Kim's upcoming wedding than it does with Khloe getting hurt, because when it comes to Kim, it's all about Kim.
What do you think about Kim Kardashian warning her sister about French Montana? Do you think Kim should just butt out of Khloe's love life? Join the discussion on Facebook and tell us what you think!

my bottom bracket(truvativ ISIS drive 2) was submerged in a few inches of water for at least a week. it was not in the frame at the time. what should I do to it before I reinstall it?
my bottom bracket(truvativ ISIS drive 2) was submerged in a few inches of water for at least a week. it was not in the frame at the time. what should I do to it before I reinstall it?
Buy a replacement. It is likely to die from corrosion in fairly short order.
thanks for the reply. for s#@ts and giggles, is there something I can soak it in to extend it's limited life(oil,kerosene, Tri-Flo)? Also my pedals, crank arms, chainring, and bash ring all got soaked too. They are showing a little corrosion in a few spots. What should I treat those with?

Which model of BB is it specifically? It might make a difference whether you can remove the seals or the bearings (I can't remember the details of ISIS 2 without a picture). You need to remove any moisture without damaging the bearing seals and replace it with oil (which won't stay there) and/or grease. Bearing seals can be damaged by removal and refitting, heat, water-dispersing agents or even mineral oils in some cases, depending on materials and design. I don't think it is easy to change bearings in most ISIS BBs.
Corrosion may have already started and, if so, the damage will expand as the bearing is loaded and rotated. If it is too difficult to get into the bearings (or to replace the cartridge bearings), just ride it till it dies and fit a new one. Manufacturers are doing their very best to turn bike components into non-serviceable items.
For all the grief it takes, this is the place where WD-40 is the right choice to displace water.

Once again, thank you for your quick and informative response. The only info on the drive that may help is 'BB-02-SPL-DH-113/68 shell -One Spacer', and 'BC 1.37" x24TPI'
This is Africa, 1943. War spits out its violence overhead and the sandy graveyard swallows it up. Her name is King Nine, B-25, medium bomber, Twelfth Air Force. On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

Rocklin police arrest two in Sierra College and Lincoln car burglaries
Two men have been arrested following four car burglaries in Rocklin and Lincoln, according to a report from the Rocklin Police Department.
On Nov. 28, Rocklin police responded to four separate vehicle burglaries on the Sierra College campus in Rocklin. Based on physical evidence and investigative leads, within hours officers obtained a search warrant for a residence in the 2300 block of South Whitney Boulevard in Rocklin. When they served the search warrant, Rocklin officers located evidence from the Sierra College burglaries, the report said. The investigation also tied Jordan Edwards, 29, and Mark Dingman, 39, both of Rocklin, to another vehicle burglary that occurred earlier in the morning near Twelve Bridges and East Joiner Parkway in Lincoln, the report added. Edwards and Dingman were arrested at the scene.
Edwards and Dingman were booked into the Placer County Jail. Dingman is held in lieu of $45,000 bail on charges of possession of stolen property and outstanding warrants. Edwards is held with no bail on a charge of possession of stolen property.
The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information about these or related crimes is asked to contact the Rocklin Police Department at 625-5400.

IE and "Operation Aborted"
Internet Explorer's behavior sometimes really, really makes me angry.
We recently rolled out a copy of our javascript libraries after much testing and, a few hours later, discovered a page on our site that IE was barfing on. Specifically, the page would load about half way and then announce that it could not load the page (despite the fact that it's clearly loaded behind the error message) and then present you with its generic "page not found" content.
I've seen this behavior before and generally know what to look for, but it's a huge pain because the page is gone and your only method for debugging it is to slowly remove code, line by line, until it stops doing it. Then you put things back bit by bit until you narrow it down to the offending line. It's painstaking work and the constant error popping up begins to really grate.
So why does IE do this?
Perhaps I should use "when" instead of "why" in that header, because I don't really know why the developers of IE would do this.
Update: Bit thanks to Jon in the comments for turning me on to this MSFT support page about this topic. I've updated this article here to more accurately describe the problem. More detail can be found in the MSFT article.
IE does this when you attempt to modify a DOM element before it is closed. This means that if you try and append a child element to another and that other element (like the document.body) is still loading, you'll get this error. This will occur if you use .appendChild (which in Mootools includes .adopt, .injectInside, .injectBefore, etc.) or if you use Element.innerHTML = "" (or in Mootools, the .setHTML method).
The general rule of DOM manipulation is that you can't mess with it until it's loaded, which is why we use the domready event (this is not a native event, but most frameworks have some method for creating this event). In Mootools, you do it like this:
[js]window.addEvent('domready', function(){
//DOM code…
The exception to this rule is that you can modify the DOM that's loaded so far if you do it inline. In other words, you can't modify the DOM before it's loaded, but you can modify the portion of the DOM that's loaded at any given point. For example, you could have this and it would work:
Because you are executing this code after the DOM element is loaded, it's ok.
…except when it's not.
What I found today was that a Class I'd written long ago (IframeShim) created a conflict of sorts with this general rule (the rule that you can alter DOM elements that have already loaded, even if the page hasn't finished).
IframeShim puts a hiden iframe under an element to hide things below it (like select lists; see the link above for more detail). Previously, I inserted the iframe into the DOM right after the element that it was shimming:
[js]var iframe = new Element('iframe');
//…some more stuff to format it
I recently changed this because if the parent element of the one you were shimming had CSS properties that cascaded to its children, the iframe, which is positioned absolutely, would inherit margins and padding and it would throw off the positioning. Instead, I needed to inject the iframe into the document body:
[js]var iframe = new Element('iframe');
//…some more stuff to format it
This code on its own worked fine (and passed our QA process). Here's where it gets bizarre (perhaps not, as this sort of thing is almost normal in IE).
The document that was breaking (the "Operation aborted" message) had in it a line like the first example above:
This is an over simplified example, but when I removed all the other code it was the innerHTML = "something" that was the culprit.
If I removed that line, the page worked. The thing is, the only thing that changed was our library (which has a LOT of stuff in it). So how did that change suddenly make this innerHTML = "something" become so destructive?
So then I started removing chunks of the library until I found that it was the IframeShim class, which I had recently changed. This led me to the change I mention above, where I append the iframe to the document.body.
It would seem that IE is ok with adding something to the document body at any time, but if you use innerHTML = "string…" after you do it, you'll somehow retroactively-prematurely close the DOM or something. That is messed up.
Anyway, it took me a day to figure all this out and make it so that IframeShim won't append the element to the DOM until it's ready (in IE) and fix the bug.
After reading the MSFT support article, it's apparent that this behavior isn't quite explained by it. According to the article, you'll get this error when you try and inject content into a dom element that isn't closed. Their example:
This problem occurs because a child container HTML element contains script code that tries to modify the parent container element of the child container. The script code tries to modify the parent container element by using either the innerHTML method or the appendChild method.
According to MSFT, this error will occur because you are trying to modify thebefore the is closed. Using the onDomReady event would solve this problem here. But in my problem that I worked out above, I append something to the before it's loaded, but IE doesn't complain. It only complains when I have that AND a innerHTML="something" line on the same page. The line that uses the innerHTML="something" isn't referencing a tag that is still open, though the IframeShim is. It's like trying to diagnose why opening the gas cap on your car makes the hub caps fall off. They aren't connected.
This breaks
This doesn't break
This doesn't break
Microsoft, please make better browsers (note that IE7 has this problem, too).

According to the report, police also noticed that the international barcode for the items was scratched with a blue pen and a new code was handwritten on the bag.
The case was referred to the military judiciary for investigation into how the Israeli products made it through the customs department at the port or airport.
A similar incident took place at Spinneys almost 10 years ago when shoppers discovered mugs made in Israel being sold at the retailer.
In July, Lebanon's Al-Akhbar online newspaper reported
that the Lebanese market hosts a wide variety of medical equipment originating in Israel.

Prophets foretold of the birth of Jesus hundreds and hundreds of years before it took place. But God had a plan for when it was to happen - a pivotal time that would change the world forever. Galatians 4:4 says, "But when the right time came, God sent his son ...".
Tell us your "Wow, God Came At the Right Time" story that was a pivotal moment in your life?
From Matthew West's book GIVE THIS CHRISTMAS AWAY...
It's easy to give gifts at Christmas to the ones you love, isn't it? I would imagine that the people who are on your Christmas shopping list are people whom you are quite fond of. How about enemies? Got any of those on your list this Christmas? Most people aren't racing to the stores to buy a gift for that special arch nemesis in their lives. Does someone come to mind who would be completely shocked to receive a gift or a card from you this Christmas?
Well, what if you did it?
What if you shocked that enemy of yours by taking the first step? Even if it seems like it's too big a step to actually give gifts to our enemies, we are still called to pray for them. That is something we can all stand to be reminded of. I know that's not my first instinct when I think of someone who has hurt me. Love your enemies. We learned the lesson in Sunday school. Consider this a little refresher course.
You have heard the law, that says, "Love your neighbor" and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. Matthew 4:43-45

Marquez can only become a legend like Rossi if he's "lucky" enough to race the next decade without serious injury! Sometimes it's your own fault, other times there is a "Bautista" out there who can ruin it for you. At least at 20 years old his body heals faster than the guys in their 30's.
I wish all the racers today a safe but exciting race. I don't mind who wins as long as it's exciting

Wi opens up 3-shot lead at Pebble
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. On a day when sunshine gave way to a light rain, two things stayed the same Friday at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Charlie Wi was still atop the leaderboard, and Tiger Woods didn't hole enough putts to make up ground.
Wi escaped most of the rain at Pebble Beach, where he holed a wedge from the 13th fairway for eagle and limited the damage to a bogey on his final hole for a 3-under 69 that allowed him to open a three-shot lead.
Dustin Johnson was caught off guard by the rain in the worst way. He stood in the fourth fairway at Spyglass with a short-sleeve shirt, hands thrust in his pocket, as his caddie sent a friend running up the hill to the parking lot to retrieve his rain gear. His short game let him down, and the two-time Pebble champion had to settle for a 72 that put him three back.
Padraig Harrington had a 66 at Pebble Beach and was among those tied for third. Harrington had five birdies in a six-hole stretch early in his round, the exception coming at the par-5 sixth.
Woods, meanwhile, again looked poised to make a move over at Monterey Peninsula. He missed a 5-foot birdie putt on No. 9 and failed to make birdie on the par-5 10th when he pulled his second shot into the gallery. He had to settle for a 2-under 68, leaving him six behind.
Along the way, he stung his wrist hitting out of a divot and said he had to pop it back into the joint.
"No big deal," he said.
The bigger deal was putting. Woods took 33 putts on the Shore Course, which he attributed to leaving the ball in the wrong spot - mostly above the hole - and struggling with greens he felt were getting slightly more bumpy as a mist turned into a light rain.
"It's very close," said Woods, playing this event for the first time in 10 years. "I got my ball-striking to where I feel very comfortable hitting the shots. I just need to make a couple of putts to get on a roll."
Phil Mickelson struggled in sunshine. In rain, he ran off five birdies for a 65 at Monterey Peninsula that put him five shots behind.
"I don't know what happened, but I started to play a lot better and make some birdies," said Mickelson, a three-time winner at Pebble. "In the perfect conditions, I struggled. But to play these golf courses in such great condition either way has been a lot of fun."
Wi was at 12-under 130 and now heads to Spyglass Hill, which has played slightly tougher than the other two courses.
In these shifting conditions, Spyglass played about two shots harder than it did Thursday, while Pebble Beach and Monterey Peninsula were about one shot more difficult than the day before.
Only 56 players broke par, compared with 87 in the opening round.
That would explain what was going through Wi's mind when he set off at Pebble Beach, knowing the course gave up a pair of 63s in the opening round. It sure didn't feel that easy.
"I thought Pebble played really difficult today," Wi said. "The greens were very firm, and the guys that shot 8 or 9 under out there, I was very surprised how well they played. Some of the pins were really tricky. I said, `Gosh, how did they shoot 9 under out there?' And for me to shoot 3 under today, I was very pleased."

Subject: [hwloc-devel] hwloc 1.3.1 needed?
From: Brice Goglin (Brice.Goglin_at_[hidden])
Date: 2011-11-03 11:29:25
hwloc v1.3 was released more than 2 weeks ago. We only have two fixes so
far. The only important one fixes the pciutils detection in some cases.
I am not sure how bad this bug was, so I don't know if it deserves a
v1.3.1 soon. If anybody else is annoyed by this bug, please let us know.
If you haven't tested the v1.3 branch yet, please test it :) You'll have
to install pciutils-devel or libpci-dev depending on your distro. Then,
for instance, running lstopo on Linux should report some I/O devices.

Big St. Etienne fan myself will get my hands on the new release. Cheers
Forgot about Moby 18, also the new one form Morcheeba - Charango would probably make the top 10. brillant from what i can remember, but left it with an ex. a few months ago -< bad move.
Simply the best album I have bought for a long, long time.
Also, in particular order :

1. "With A homie like Dre just supplyin' the beat" (From Eazy-E's song "Eazy Does It", Dr. Dre produces Eminem nowadays for those not familiar.)
2. Past rappers had an "East Coast/West Coast" rivalry that may have indirectly resulted in the deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious BIG. Eminem chooses to "attack" Chris Kirkpatrick and Moby in his latest song. He attacks a "boy band" singer and a Buddhist. That's like saying you're the toughest kid in school because you can beat up everyone who rides the short bus. (From a comedian I saw at the local comedy spot last week. Probably the best opening act I've seen there.)
3. Ghetto rage goes down easier from a guy named Marshall. (From an Onion.com Infographic about "The White Rap Boom".)
What's this about 2002? ;)

DENVER (AP) — Jurors have started deliberating in the drunken driving case against Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams.
A jury was seated Wednesday, and testimony and closing arguments wrapped up by the afternoon.
The weakside linebacker is already facing a six-game suspension for failing an offseason drug test. A conviction for driving under the influence and traffic charges could result in an even longer suspension.
Williams' trial was delayed several times, including last fall after he suffered a dislocated right elbow during a game. In May, just as opening statements were about to begin, his lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, won a mistrial after objecting to how jurors were selected.

CASRIP's 1999 High Technology Protection Summit focused on technology transfer, from university and independent government funded projects to useful commercial applications. The summit had an international focus with presentations on the laws and structures in Japan, Taiwan, China, Germany and the US. A cross-section of professional perspectives was offered; from judges, professors, corporate executives, attorneys, patent officials to inventors. Many symposium participants and speakers returned from previous years in order to stay current on recent intellectual property developments. The presentations contained much substantive practical information useful to all IP professionals.
Friday July 2
Judge Randall Rader of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Court, Washington D.C. Circuit gave the keynote address. His thesis was that the expense of litigation in intellectual property cases in the United States is the price of the rule of law system. The high costs of litigation keep the courts in their proper role in the system by encouraging private settlement. The court expenses provide a benchmark for attorneys to calculate costs of settlement. The ultimate cost of enforcement of voluntary compliance of the current U.S. Intellectual Property system is far less than it would be for an alternate system.
Next, Judge T.S. Ellis of the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia and Judge John C. Coughenour of the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington spoke about intellectual property litigation. Judge Coughenour focused on the Federal Courts in general. He first noted that district courts do not specialize, but hear a wide variety of cases. Judges are generalists; they receive no special training to be judges, and very few have backgrounds in intellectual property issues. He commented that many patent and trademark attorneys make the mistake of assuming judges understand the language and the intricacies of this field of law. He suggested that if lawyers endeavor to make their case interesting, easy to understand, and use their time efficiently, judges and juries would be appreciative. This advice is particularly important because of the no holds barred approach of IP attorneys. Cases quickly can spin out of control, especially if the defendant files an anti-trust counterclaim. Judge Coughenour urges attorneys to think about the scope and costs of their cases.
Judge Ellis is from the famous "rocket docket" where cases typically start and finish within 6-8 months. His court has experienced an explosion of intellectual property cases for the last few years. Judge Ellis noted several common difficulties and surprises litigants commonly experience in his district. Among these points were: 1) litigants waste time with venue and jurisdictional issues; 2) the willingness of the court to consolidate complex cases involving Markman issues; 3) the rapid pace does not permit leisurely exploration of damages in the discovery phase; 4) around 95% of patent trials are by jury; 5) extension of the period for response to the initial motion for trial does not shift the schedule for trial; 6) assignment of a master judge for settlement proceedings (different from the trial judge); and 7) Markman hearings are held as soon as practicable.
The second session began with an overview of the Japanese court system. Mr. Yoshio Kumakura, reknown as the top litigator in Japan, spoke about the recent changes in litigation of IP cases. During the past 5 years IP cases filed in the Tokyo District Court have increased dramatically. In response to the high volume of cases Japanese courts have attempted to expedite procedures. In particular, new flexible hearing methods were adopted nationally in 1996 and the three-step trial process has been adjusted to allow the court to handle the different phases at the same time. Mr. Kumakura also made several recommendations to obtain quick and less expensive enforcement in Japan. Among his suggestions were: to use the expedited examination system, to use the expedited examination system, to study prior arts before filing, and to submit the infringement argument with evidence as well as to prepare and submit the argument and evidence of damages at an early stage of litigation.
Professor Toshiko Takenaka, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington and Director of CASRIP undertook a structural comparison of U.S. and Japanese court systems for patent litigation and referenced recent changes in Japanese intellectual property law. The Japanese system has special divisions within general courts as compared to the U.S. system, which has a special patent court. The disadvantages of the Japanese system are that it is inefficient and slow, but it has an important advantage in its use of expertise and ability to resolve complex issues. However, recent revisions in Intellectual Property Laws have remedied the inefficiency significantly. Increased interests of Japanese IP owners in enforcement has resulted in an increase in the number of disputes brought to the courts, and resulted in important alterations in case law. There have also been case law developments with regard to statutes that have remained unchanged.
During lunch Dr. Alvin Kwirum, Vice Provost for Research, Office of the Provost of the University of Washington presented an overview of the technology transfer process at the university. He noted that in the last decade, there has been a dramatic increase in research projects and technology transfer activities that have brought with them a host of new issues for consideration. Among these: how does a university decide which properties to protect, how aggressive should universities be in gaining value for their patents, how do the various external relationships-for example university donors-affect the transfer arrangements, what incentives should the school offer inventors and who owns copyright in a university. Dr. Kwirum encouraged participants to carefully reflect on these issues, as the answers will shape the architecture of future IP law.
Next, Professor Rebecca Eisenberg of the University of Michigan School of Law, surveyed public research and development in patents and technology transfer in government sponsored research in the United States. She believes the current IP policy does not always further the transfer of new technologies to the private sector for commercial development. It does not take into consideration the tension between the revenue motive of research performers as patent owners and licensors, and the profit incentives of innovating firms. Eisenberg argues the Bayh-Dole Act may actually serve to retard product development, and cautions that revenue incentives might not be the best measure for selecting research projects at universities and other institutions.
Following Professor Eisenberg was a panel discussion offering a review of the current system of technology transfer at U.S. universities. First to speak was Mr. John Sandolin of Standford University, who presented an overview of the operation of a technology transfer office. He provided a basic understanding of patent and licensing, describing the different types of agreements used and their key terms. Next, Dr. Catherine Hennings, Director of the Technology Transfer office at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, focused on the benefits of establishing a good relationship between the technology transfer office and the scientist-inventor. She advocated a customer service approach to dealing with inventors, and gave practical tips for managing expectations. Then Dr. Jeffery Labovitz, Director of the Office for Technology and Trademark Licensing at Harvard University spoke about the tensions in technology agreements between universities and for profit corporations. He advised universities to explain fully and to educate potential partners the constraints under which they work. He also urged universities to be creative in their thinking. Lastly, the moderator, Dr. Robert Miller, Director of the Technology Transfer office at University of Washington, analyzed the financial importance of industrial research agreements to universities. He also summarized the University of Washington's approach to and management of technology agreements.
Dr. Leroy Hood of the University of Washington presented the inventor's perspective. He spoke about the revolutionary changes in our understanding of biology that have occurred in the last ten years, and their potential legal impact. He suggested a new perspective: that intellectual property law, where it intersects with biology, should patent the specific information rather than the general mechanical compositions for translating information. He proved to be the most thought-provoking speaker of the conference.
Next, Mr. Richard Donaldson, Senior Vice-President of Texas Instruments, presented the industry perspective on university technology transfer. Many industry leaders such as Texas Instruments and Sony among others currently have research agreements with American universities. He advised that these agreements are most successful with the parties keep the agreement simple and long range. He also counseled against mixing students, professors and industry employees between institutions, as it is it a complicated mix for most corporations, and against joint ownership of IP projects. Despite the difficulties, he stated that he foresees a bright future for the joint projects.
Last on Friday, Mr. Stephen Maebius of Foley and Landner, and Mr. Steve Faczewski of CTI, offered views on university technology transfers from their position as attorneys. Mr. Maebius spoke about specific forms of licenses and agreements, in particular research tool patents and reach through licenses. He used the experience of the Gene Logic company and a patent developed by Yale researchers as a case study for successful commercialization of a university research project. Mr. Faczewski spoke about the legal concerns in commercial applications and gave practical advice for interested companies. In particular, he suggested business and university to establish the boundaries of their relationship, to set the commercial priorities, and to define the roles of the contributors at the outset.
Saturday, July 24
The morning began with a presentation from Dr. Hans Ullrich, Professor of Law at Bundeswehruninversitat. He began with an overview of the German and European Union Approach to technology transfer, and identified two fundamental flaws of the European approach: an over-simplistic view of product development, and the inability of the current intellectual proper rights system to accommodate technological developments. In response, Dr. Ullrich made several recommendations for changes in short term policies, and international initiatives. He believes IP policy should concentrate in promoting the effectiveness of intellectual property rights as an innovation system.
Next Professor Katsuya Tamai, Professor RCAST of the University of Tokyo spoke of the problems surrounding the traditional technology transfer system at Japanese universities, and the hope that the newly formed organizations (such as University of Tokyo's Center for Advanced Science and Technology Incubation) will soon improve the situation. These new pro-technology organizations will better understand the potential of the university departments, and will help with the processing of applications and in the marketing phase. Professor Tamai predicts Japanese universities will soon experience a boom in technology transfer operations.
Dr. Kuan Hsiu Hsiao, Director of the Department of Central Processing of the National Science Council of Taiwan then gave a summary of the recent developments regarding university technology transfer in his country. Influenced by Bayh-Dole in the United States, and organizations like CASTI in Japan, Taiwan is formulating its own technology transfer offices. Although some changes have already taken place, Dr. Hsiao expects that it will take between five and ten years for the new technology transfer system to came established and profitable.
Later, Professor Martin Aldeman of the George Washington University School of Law, spoke on the complications involved in the drafting of patent applications. He gave an introduction to the problems associated with multiple inventors, and used the development of AZT as an AIDS medication as a case example. He urged pratictioners to draft broadly, and be aware that inventions may have third party inventors that are presently unknown.
Professor Jerome Reichman of Vanderbilt University Law School presented an overview of the problems of overlapping property rights in university generated research projects. He spoke of the difficulties involved in joint ownership of patents, and current contractual practices of American universities. He also discussed ownership of copyrights focusing on its application to university-generated software and the problems of multiple creative contributions. His analysis finished with a call for a new intellectual property paradigm to address the current patchwork application of patent laws.
Mr. John Whealan, Acting Deputy Solicitor of USPTO next spoke on inventorship and ownership in regards to the PTO. He cautioned that under current law the USPTO does not make determinations regarding the true inventor or assignee of the patent. To be named as a joint inventor, an individual need only have contributed to one claim. An unknown third party inventor may face a substantial burden in proving his contribution, but can complicate and extend infringement lawsuits between companies and inventors. Mr. Whealan recommended that to avoid conflict in the future, an agreement should be signed prior to the start of any work, and that companies should only accept assignments from all of the inventors.
During lunch Commissioner Ming-Bang Chen of the Intellectual Property Office of Taiwan gave a presentation on the reorganization of Taiwan's Intellectual Property Office formally established by law in January 1999. He provided an overview of the departments and management systems of the office, and outlined plans to promote expedited patent, trademark, copyright and anti-counterfeiting examinations. He also surveyed current law and proposed rules governing patents, trademarks and copyrights.
The afternoon session began with a comparative law section devoted to systems giving inventors incentive to research and develop new products. Dr. Heinz Goddar of Boehmert and Boehmert gave a summary of intellectual property right laws in Germany with respect to company employees, public servants, university professors and assistants. He focused on the acquisition of ownership by the inventor in each setting. He then discussed the obligations of the employer after acquiring ownership of the patent with respect to the protection of the inventor, and remuneration for the invention. The German system for patent protection is unique and is facing pressure to change as other European nations strive for harmonization of their laws.
Next, Dr. Robert Kneller of the University of Tokyo and RCAST surveyed the different approaches to IP transfers in the United States, Japan and China. He noted technology transfers at American universities are handled by contract and managed by the Technology Licensing Office (TLO). In contrast, in Japan the majority of inventions are passed from inventors of companies informally because of ambiguous reporting requirements that are loosely enforced. China appears to be moving to a U.S. style system. An inter-ministerial regulation of March 1999 has given universities greater autonomy in the management of technology. However, most schools have not established TLOs yet and actual implementation will take time.
Professor Harold Wegner of the George Washington School of Law proposed a one-world system of patent application model for harmonization of the different national systems. He suggested applicants should be able to file at the office of their choosing. The different patent officers would be required to learn the patent law of the different nations. Professor Wegner believes such a system would improve efficiency, and allow nations to maintain the size of patent office that would reflect true need. He also made two suggestions for aligning the present systems: to add a domestic opposition system in the United States, and to amend the Patent Cooperation Treaty to extend the preliminary examination system to 48 months.
The Honorable Todd Dickinson, Comissioner of the Patents and Trademarks Office, surveyed U.S. legislative developments over the last two years. He introduced recent budget related changes that have caused internal revisions at the PTO, and affected fees. The bulk of his presentation was spent detailing the provisions of the current omnibus patent law reform bill, HR 1907 The American Inventors Protection Act and the PTO office concerns related to the proposed law. He then summarized other bills currently under consideration. Legislation topics include: databases protection, trademark dilution, anti-cyber squatting (in regards to domain names), the Madrid Protocol Implementation Act, and patent term extension. He concluded with a brief description of the advanced rulemaking package currently under consideration at the PTO.
Mr. Shozo Uemura, Deputy Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization outlined WIPO's programs and activities for reduction of patent costs. Currently, the WIPO also helps with enforcement providing an arbitration and mediation center for resolution of commercial disputes between private parties. In particular, the draft Patent Law Treaty, scheduled for adoption in 2000, strives to harmonize national patent rules around the world. The Patent Cooperation Treaty, aimed at streamlining the application process is to be incorporated into the Patent Law Treaty. Mr. Uemura renewed WIPO's pledge to contribute to the improvement to harmonization of international patent law, but said ultimately progress depends on the willingness of individual nations.
The last presentation of the conference was given by Mr. Shigeo Takakura of Kyoto University and Chief Appeal Examiner of the Japanese Patent Office. He commented on the role of APEC and the Japanese Patent Office, recommending Japan to align its national legislation with the TRIPS Agreement, and to participate in the WIPO global systems for technology protection. He also urged expanded bilateral technical cooperation in the areas of patent search and examination, and to simplify and standardize enforcement of intellectual property rights.
The symposium was a great success because of the combined efforts of the speakers and interest of the participants. A more detailed account of each presentation will be available in Vol. 5 of the CASRIP Publication Series.
