Invalid claim to priority brings down Broad Institute's original CRISPR patent at the EPO
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) is a natural defence system used in bacteria which has been modified for use in genomic engineering and become one of biotech's most lucrative technologies, predicted to be worth $2.3 billion by 2022. CRISPR can be used to correct mutations at targeted DNA locations, providing the potential to modify the genome to correct genetic diseases.
Currently, there are two major parties at the forefront of patents regarding the use of CRISPR; The University of California, Berkeley and The Broad Institute. These parties are involved in a long running dispute over who should have the benefit of the rights to the initial CRISPR technology.
In the US, The University of California first filed a provisional US application for the general use of CRISPR for targeted DNA modification. In the same year, The Broad Institute filed a provisional US application for the use of CRISPR for targeted DNA modification specifically in eukaryotic cells, but requested accelerated prosecution. As a result of accelerated prosecution, The Broad Institute was granted the first CRISPR patent in April 2014. The University of California requested interference proceedings in the US, arguing that they were the first to invent the CRISPR tool. However, the US Patent and Trademark Office ruled that each party claimed patentably distinct subject matter in the two patents and therefore, each party could be granted their own patent. This means that companies working on CRISPR in the US could need a license from both The University of California and The Broad Institute, because the eukaryotic route looks the most commercially promising.
In Europe, the Broad Institute have a number of CRISPR patents in opposition. The opposition division at the EPO announce their decision to revoke Broad Institute's original CRISPR patent on 17 January 2018, based on a lack of novelty arising from an invalid priority claim.
The patent (EP2771468) claimed priority from twelve US provisional applications, which named the inventors as applicants. However, when the PCT application was filed, it did not name all of the inventors/applicants of the provisional application as applicants of the PCT application.
According to Article 87(1) EPC, the right of priority belongs to"Any person who has duly filed…an application for a patent…or his successor in title". In order for a patent to validly claim priority from a priority document, the applicant of the patent must be the same as the applicant of the priority document (or his successor in title), or, the right to claim to priority must be transferred from the applicant of the priority document to the applicant of the priority claiming applicationbeforethe latter is filed.
In accordance with established case law, if there are a number of applicants on the priority applications, then the right to priority belongs to all the applicants. Consequently, all of the applicants of the priority documents need to be named as applicants (or their successor in title) in the priority claiming application, or, they must transfer their rights to priority to the applicants named on the priority claiming application before the latter is filed.
In this case, the PCT application which led to the European patent was filed in the name of The Broad Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and The President and Fellows of Harvard College. However, an inventor/applicant Luciano Marraffini named on a number of the US provisional applications, including the earliest two priority documents, was not named an applicant of the PCT application, nor was his successor in title; The Rockefeller University.
Therefore, the opponents argued that Luciano Marraffini did not transfer his right to claim priority to the applicants named on the PCT application; neither did his successor in title, and therefore the patent lacked a valid priority claim. The patentee did not submit any evidence to dispute this but argued that Luciano Marraffini did not make any contribution to the inventions in the earliest two priority applications and so had no priority right to transfer. They argued that this matter should be considered under US law, and that the requirements of Article 87 EPC were fulfilled since all persons, who under US law are considered to have contributed to the same inventions disclosed in the first two priority documents were later claimed in the PCT application, were named as applicants in the PCT application.
In their preliminary opinion, the Opposition Division stated that the formal validity of the priority claim for the European patent must be assessed within the EPC legal framework. They confirmed that the right to priority constitutes a legal right, which is independent of the right to entitlement. In both the EPC and the Paris Convention, the decisive fact for a valid claim of priority is the status of the applicant, rather than the entitlement to the subject-matter of the first application. They concluded that there was no evidence that the priority rights of Luciano Marrafini had been transferred into the PCT application before the PCT filing date, and therefore the right to claim priority from at least the earliest two priority documents was invalid.
The Opposition Division upheld their preliminary opinion. The European patent was found to lack a valid claim to priority, and therefore, the patent was found to lack novelty in light of a number of intervening documents.
We look forward to the publication of the full decision to determine whether the Opposition Division fully followed the reasoning in their preliminary opinion.
The Broad Institute has already announced via their website that they plan to appeal the decision to the Boards of Appeal at the EPO, stating that they consider the decision is "unrelated to the substantive merits of the CRISPR patent" and based on a formal technical requirement that they consider to be inconsistent with the Paris Convention and other treaties "designed to harmonise the international patent process".
Practice points
This case highlights the importance of ensuring that the claim to priority is valid, and that all necessary transfers of the applicant(s) priority rights have taken placebeforefiling a later priority-claiming application before the EPO (either a PCT application or a direct EP application).
On the one hand, if the Board of Appeal upholds the Opposition Division's decision, this priority issue will likely impact a large number of the Broad Institute's other CRISPR patents that have the same issue. On the other hand, if the Opposition Division's decision is overturned, this will contradict established EPO case law on priority rights, which would likely impact many fields of technology, not just the world of biotech. We are watching the appeal with interest.
If you would like any advice on ensuring your portfolio complies with the European rules on priority rights, please contact the undersigned or your usual Forresters attorney.

My client's code was sporadically afflicted with a ClassCastException. As you can see from the stack trace below, there is no client code involved, just Swing (and swingx) code
java.lang.ClassCastException at javax.swing.LayoutComparator.compare(LayoutComparator.java:61) at java.util.Arrays.mergeSort(Arrays.java:1293) at java.util.Arrays.mergeSort(Arrays.java:1282) at java.util.Arrays.sort(Arrays.java:1210) at java.util.Collections.sort(Collections.java:159) at javax.swing.SortingFocusTraversalPolicy.enumerateAndSortCycle(SortingFocusTraversalPolicy.java:119) at javax.swing.SortingFocusTraversalPolicy.getFirstComponent(SortingFocusTraversalPolicy.java:434) at javax.swing.LayoutFocusTraversalPolicy.getFirstComponent(LayoutFocusTraversalPolicy.java:148 at javax.swing.SortingFocusTraversalPolicy.getDefaultComponent(SortingFocusTraversalPolicy.java:511) at java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy.getInitialComponent(FocusTraversalPolicy.java:152) at java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.dispatchEvent(DefaultKeyboardFocusManager.java:340) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Component.java:4502) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Container.java:2099) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Window.java:2475) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Component.java:4460) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:599) at java.awt.SequencedEvent.dispatch(SequencedEvent.java:101) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:597) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:269) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:184) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:174) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:169) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:161) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:122)
Google searches revealed that others have seen this error, and supposedly it is caused by Swing components being added or removed while not on the Event Dispatch Thread. O.K., makes some sense. But how can you determine which rogue component is causing the problem? Simple-minded attempts to "hook-into" this stack trace to catch and view the cause are rebuffed by the fact that Component.dispatchEvent() is final, and all of the dispatchEventImpl()s are package access, not protected.
The place you can access a FocusTraversalPolicy() is in your Container. However, you cannot access the Comparator it uses, because getComparator() is protected. So, you have to write your own TraversalPolicy. The first part is easy.
public class BetterFocusTraversalPolicy extends LayoutFocusTraversalPolicy { public BetterFocusTraversalPolicy() { setComparator(new BetterLayoutComparator()); } }
So, what to use for the "better" Comparator? I copied and pasted from javax.swing.LayoutComparator, changing a couple of lines. Here is the original:
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) { ... some code deleted ... if (a == null) { // 'a' is not part of a Window hierarchy. Can't cope. throw new ClassCastException(); }
My first reaction is "why throw a ClassCastException? (instead of say, an IllegalArgumentException. But the deeper issue is that the code provides no information about the rogue Component that is not part of the hierarchy. The proper behavior would be to put o1.toString() into the exception:, e.g.
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) { ... some code deleted ... if (a == null) { // 'a' is not part of a Window hierarchy. Can't cope. throw new ClassCastException(o1.toString()); }
Making this change quickly revealed the problem. One of the axes for a graph was Time, and it was subject to programmatic change in the data collection thread. Correcting this fixed the bug.
But it would sure be simpler if LayoutComparator provided the information in the first place.

Facebook and Twitter are 'Internet ghettos' designed to eradicate the open range of independent thought that was once the Internet, according to media pioneer Matt Drudge.
"I don't know why they've been successful in pushing everybody into these little ghettos, these Facebooks, these Tweets, these Instagrams," Drudge said on The Alex Jones Show. "This is ghetto, this is corporate; they're taking your energy and you're getting nothing in return."
While the Internet started out as a renaissance-style free range of ideas, establishment interests have since corralled Internet users into a handful of social media sites where dangerous groupthink can blossom in favor of the status quo, he pointed out.
"This whole social media stuff is bogus," Drudge added. "Facebook has two billion users? This is garbage, this is designed to demoralize the individual."
He makes an excellent point. It's already well known that Facebook in particular is censoring news articles critical of government policies, so conservative and libertarian activists who predominantly use Facebook are easily silenced by the establishment.
In fact, a recent study revealed that the most successful individuals operate in large, open networks where they're the link between people of different backgrounds.
Facebook, on the other hand, confines you to a small, closed network in which you're only connected to "Facebook friends" who likely share your same views and already know you.
In other words, your potential reach on Facebook is less than the Internet as a whole, and the establishment wants this because in a closed network you're also more likely to repeatedly hear the same government talking points and accept them without thought.
It's easier for the power elite to control a population divided into isolated groups where independent thinking has been restrained.
"…I'm just warning this country: don't get into this false sense that you are an individual when you're on Facebook," Drudge stated. "No you're not; you're a pawn in their scheme."

Ring a bell? If you're a New Yorker cartoon aficionado, it should. And the Pavlovian response we're looking for is laughter.
Since way back in 2011, every holiday season brings what we insiders like to call a cartoon S.I.P., which stands for Special Issue Publication. Actually, our first go at it was just a mere Special Issue Publication. The year after that, though, we upped our game to a Very Special Issue Publication (V.S.I.P.), and this year, we've gone all out and made it a Very Extra Special Issue Publication (V.E.S.I.P.), with:
A great new feature highlights five of the cartoonists who have done our daily online cartoon: David Sipress, Christopher Weyant, Danny Shanahan, Mike Twohy, and Emily Flake.
Each selected four favorite efforts from his or her month-long sprint, and then, in a little essay to accompany these selections, whines about how the switch from the relatively leisurely pace of weekly cartoons to the more frenetic pace of a daily forced him or her to forego sleep, food, and family obligations, just so that you, Mister and Missus Cartoon Aficionado, could get your daily dose.
Really, this feature is not to be missed. It's well-worth all the whining.
Also of interest to the cartoon nerd in all of us is Michael Maslin's
piece "The One and Done Club." Many cartoonists strive for many years to get into The New Yorker, and never make it. That's not unusual. Rarer are those cartoonists who strive and strive, only to appear once. Usually, these one-and-done-ers were non-entities in the cartoon world, but a few, like Milt Gross, B. Kliban, and Bill Mauldin, established themselves in the cartoon pantheon—just elsewhere.
What else? A lot else:
Dr. Ben Schwartz
reveals us how he learned to quit medicine and love cartooning. Aspiring cartoonists will love it. Aspiring Jewish mothers won't.
The cartoonist Shannon Wheeler
in "Wheelering and Dealering at Comic Con," tries to get his underground comic book above ground for movie-studio moguls to ogle, because, as he states, "Nothing says 'comic books' like 'movies.' "
In "Family Holiday Pain Chart," Bob Eckstein
provides a handy tool for you and your significant other to measure and understand each other's torment at an awkward family gathering. Don't leave home, or enter your relatives' home, without one.
In "Robots: The Future of Cartooning?," the cartoonist Zach Kanin
uses his twisted imagination and moustache, along with some hard-earned experience gained as an indentured, part-time toaster repairman, to look into the heart of the man-machine-cartoon nexus, and finds a bleak future relieved only by humor.
For the final feature in our feature-laden V.E.S.I.P., "The Engraver," Drew Dernavich
describes his part-time job hand-engraving photo-realistic pictures on gravestones. It's as funny as it is sad, and vice versa.
Anything else? Oh yeah, two hundred and fifty cartoons. You might like those also.
P.S. The V.E.S.I.P. is available on fine newsstands everywhere. The e-V.E.S.I.P. you can get on your iPad, Kindle Fire, and other tablets, as well as Zach's toaster.

How do I Decorate a House in a Victorian Style?
The Victorian era is named after Queen Victoria, the Queen of England from 1837-1901. Victorian decor reflects the tastes and styles of this era. According to Creative Home Decorating Room by Room, the Victorian period "was an era of ornate and excessive decoration in all things," which was preceded and followed by simpler times. In addition to the ornate, lighter Victorian decor often favored by bed and breakfasts, the Victorian era also had a more masculine side, and often used dark furniture and animal trophy accessories throughout the home. If you own a Victorian home and are selling your property, adding a bit of Victorian flair may enhance and accentuate the historic value of your home. San Francisco in particular is home to several thriving Victorian home districts, such as Pacific Heights and the Western Addition.
Purchase antiques from the Victorian era. Search local antique shops, particularly any stores that may specialize in Victorian antiques. Antique shops can be pricey, so also look at thrift stores, which may offer additional antiques for lower prices.
Replace plain light fixtures with ornate Victorian pieces. Look for chandeliers, beaded lampshades, and cast iron lanterns. For a truly authentic feel, use Victorian candle holders and candleabras to provide dim lighting in your formal dining or living room.
Replace drapes and blinds with Victorian window treatments. The Victorian era tended to use lush, ornate fabrics such as velvet and silk, with rich color tones. As noted at From Times Past, one telltale sign of a Victorian era home is stained glass windows, which can be purchased at home improvement stores or found in antique shops. (See Reference 4)
Accessorize with decorative vases and bold floral arrangements, animal trophies, needlepoint pillowcases, Grecian busts and vases, and a wide variety of knick-knacks and miniatures. As noted at The New Homemaker, you may also want to invest in display cases and box-style frames to prevent breaking and minimize dusting.
Hang Victorian wall art, such as antique mirrors, needlework, portraits and nature pieces. Use ornate frames to accentuate artwork and portraits.

Kidney stones
Kidney stones, also known as renal calculi, are small stones that form in the kidneys from minerals and salts. They can be very small or as large as a golf ball and can affect the kidneys, ureters, or bladder (urinary tract). Kidney stones may not cause any issues unless they move around in the kidneys or the ureter. Symptoms can include severe pain in side and lower back, pain in urination, different colored and foul-smelling urine, vomiting, constant urination, and feeling sick (nausea).
Kidney stones have many different causes. They typically form because there is too much of a stone forming substance for the fluid in the urine to dilute. These substances, which are usually calcium, oxalate, or uric acid, can then crystalize to form the stones. Certain conditions, such as gout, cystinuria, urinary tract infections and rare genetic conditions, can also increase the risk for certain types of kidney stones. Finding out what the kidney stone is made from can help determine the cause of the stone and may also help with treatment. If you have symptoms of a kidney stone, there are a number of tests your doctor may use to confirm the diagnosis. These can include blood and urine tests to look for high levels of stone forming substances and imaging (X-rays and CT) to find the location of the stones. The treatment used depends on the size and location of the kidney stone. Your doctor may recommend just drinking water and managing the pain with medication until the stones are passed in the urine. If the stone is large, your doctor may use sounds wave to break up the stone as well as surgery or a scope to remove the stones. If you or your child has been diagnosed with kidney stones, talk with a specialist to find out the reason for kidney stones and to determine the treatment plan that is best for you.

We are all feeling the nip from Jack Frost here in Scotland and to be honest, I hate it! especially this morning. I woke up and darling Mr Sweet Elyse had put on the heating to warm up the house but it was still far too cold and that was even with my fluffy spot socks. ( I know I am so cool). I find when the cold hits fashion sort of goes out of the window, it becomes more about keeping warm and wearing fantastic textures such as boucle, warm cotton, wools and cashmere.
So this morning I got up in my cool garb, I sat on the couch with 2 cushions snuggled around me and my housecoat wrapped around me and I was still feeling that nasty icy nip so I started thinking what the heck could I put on just so I could get the courage to go and get dressed. Then, it started to rain! so that was that it was decided that today was going to be working from home, craft and play with the little princes and get up to date with everything sort of day. This still didn't help my predicament of what to do to keep warm until...
I remembered my Funzee! all hail for the Funzee! You're probably wondering what the heck a funzee is so I thought I would put up a pic of what it is. It can also be described as a 'onesie' and is a one-piece suit made of soft, fluffy material that closes with a zip from the naval to the neck.
This baby is super soft and is a fleece material. My Funzee is white with blue cuffs and is super warm and cosy. No frost gets into nip my skin
I got my Funzee from here I chose the white as I tend to go for classic colours, as much as I love patterns I get bored easily and classic colours never go out of style. Funzee offers the Onesie in a range of colours and patterns such as stripes, due coloured, hooded and ones with no hoods, wizard print and also leopard print.
The onesies are made of either 100% polar fleece (which is what mine is made of) or 100% cotton so if you're typically hot all the time I'd advise going for the 100% cotton. The polar fleece is super soft, the cuffs are also well made and give the onesie great shape.
I was also surprised because at 5ft 1 I tend to find that most onesies are too long, they drag on the floor or they become baggy around the crotch and bottom area, this was different in that the sizes are specifically made for heights rather than sizes and therefore, fitted me as though it had been custom made.
I will put up pics of Little prince wearing the Funzee later on as they wanted to prove to me how it would fit them as they wanted to steal it once it arrived! let's just say there was a grumpy little prince when it became clear it was too long for them.
The Funzee onesie's cost £26.95 and I will be buying my mum one for Christmas, I'm thinking the leopard print as I know she will adore it.
Which Funzee onesie would you choose?

On "Fox News Sunday" yesterday, Chris Wallace kicked off his interview with Donald Trump by asking Trump about violent protesters assaulting a supporter of his days ago. Wallace
Trump called Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's endorsement of rival Ted Cruz "the weakest endorsement anyone has seen in a long time."
Trump denied his comments toward Clinton have driven down his already extremely low support women in the polls. "Even women don't like her. They don't like her. It's the women's card, and she plays it, and I'll let you know in about 6 months if she plays it well. It's true. if she weren't a women, she wouldn't even be in this race."

Internship Experience @ Urbanus Lex, Online Internship: Bad Work, Creepy Communication
Name of Organisation, Location city, Team Strength
Urbanus Lex, Online Internship
Application Process with contact details
Applied there after seeing an internship opportunity on Lawctopus. You have to submit your CV at email@example.com.
Join Lawctopus Law School, the law school you always wanted, online! Check courses.lawctopus.com
Duration of internship and timings
21st March-21st May
First impression, first day formalities, infrastructure
There was no formalities as such. I got a mail from the HR department, which said that if I wish to start the internship I have to get back at their office email. After I did that, my internship was confirmed.
Main tasks
Well this is where it gets weird. For the first one month or so, they'd send me a mail to write an article of about 1000-2000 words, usually once a week.
However, after that suddenly all communication ceased from them. I shot a couple mails, but in vain. Then about ten days before the internship ended, I got notified that the mentor Priyanka is unavailable right now, so someone named [X] will be taking over in her place.
He had me doing meaningless tasks like finding previous years' CLAT papers, finding internship contact details for law students etc. (which I got to know later was for his personal blog).
Work environment and people
My first mentor Priyanka was pretty nice. Assigned us works timely.
The new guy [X], however, was a nightmare to work with in my experience. At first he asked me to message him on whatsapp so that he can send me the details. Why he couldn't send them over the mail is beyond me.
After that, even after my incessant attempts at keeping things professional, he seemed more interested in chatting with me than actually assigning me work.
At this point I had no clue what to do, as there were about 4-5 days left of the internship, and I didn't want to piss him off until I got my internship certificate as I already put in two months there.
But it was pretty irritating. I also got to know from my co-interns that after the communication ceased, only the girl interns got mails from [X] (who was 'assigned' as our new mentor). The guys never received any communication from them again.
Best things
The flexible work environment and no work pressure. At least for the first month.
Bad things
I even had to keep pestering him for the internship certificate, to which he kept saying 'hopefully by 2-3 days you'll get it' (hopefully?) for about two weeks.
Biggest Lessons
Think before you take up online internships, please. Also I had no idea that such unprofessional people actually exist or get hired, so that.
Disclaimer: Internship experiences are opinions shared by individual law students and tend to be personal and subjective in nature. The internship experiences shared on Lawctopus are NOT Lawctopus official views on the internship.

Everyone in the harness racing industry has an opinion on the pros and cons of most runners contesting the Harness Jewels races at Cambridge this weekend so we here at Harnesslink thought we would put our two cents worth into the mix.
Not only will the best in the country compete for over $1.2 Million in prize money but punters will also get their chance to win big with several big betting pools available on this year's Harness Racing Jewels Day at Cambridge.
Click here for up todate betting options from the TAB.
Today we will look at the three 3yo divisions, that is the 3yo Emerald, the 3yo Diamond and the 3yo Ruby.
1) PEPE BROMAC - (c, by Mach Three - Pascale Bromac - Holmes Hanover) Has looked promising in his brief career to date but several here look better. It is hard to see in him in the first four.
2) ISAIAH - (c, by Art Major - EJ Becks - In The Pocket) In unbelievable form in his last few, especially his win three back over 1,950 metres in a 1:54.6 mile rate. With his great draw and his high gate speed it is very hard to see him beaten.
3) TIGER TARA - (c, by Bettor's Delight - Tara Gold - Dream Away) Has had a great season but just seems to have tapered off a touch lately. From the draw he is the biggest danger to Isaiah.
4) EARTHBOUND - (g, by Elsu - Move Heaven Andearth - Christian Cullen) Has won five from fifteen but all in the Central Districts and he faces a huge jump in class here. Not for us.
5) NO DOCTOR NEEDED - (c, by Mach Three - Molly Darling - Christian Cullen) The find of the later part of the season in the south. Has blistering speed but drawing outside of the favoured duo makes his task a hard one. First four chance.
6) ALLELUIA - (g, by Art Major - Shy Annie - Village Jasper) Burst onto the scene early in the season but he has not really fulfilled his early promise. He has been thereabouts in all the major races without threatening to win one. He is a first four contender.
7) REGULUS - (g, by Mach Three - Hunter Franco - Sokys Atom) A high speed horse who has won six but wide draw makes it hard in our opinion. A great driver gives him a first four chance.
8) MESSINI - (c, by Art Major - Mesmerizing - Sir Vancelot) Super consistent all season and if he had drawn well would have been a major player. He was a great fourth to Isaiah, beaten less than a length just prior to the Derby in a dazzling 1:54.6 mile rate. First four contender.
9) IDEAL SUCCESS - (g, by American Ideal - Maheer Glen - Holmes Hanover) Nice colt who has won three this year but thrown in the deep end here. Not for us.
10) JANGO FETT - (c, by Western Ideal - Regina Coeli - Christian Cullen) Looked very promising earlier in the season winning at Addington in a 1:55.7 mile rate for 1,950 metres but not the same horse since nasty fall in Southern Supremacy Final. Not fancied.
11) CYCLONE PRINCE - (c, by Mach Three - Eyre To The Throne - Presidential Ball) Nice last start winner but he has struggled at this level all season. It is hard to see in first four unless he lifts big time.
12) FRANCO SALISBURY - (g, by Lis Mara - Sally Franco - Badlands Hanover) Nice horse but way out of his comfort zone here if he does get a start. Not for us.
13) THOMAS McBRIDE - (g, by Extreme Three - Xinran - Badlands Hanover) Looked quite promising earlier in the season but form has tapered off badly and that coupled with his draw makes this way too hard.
14) SKY MAJOR - (c, by Art Major - Sky Beauty - In The Pocket) Would have been a "Major" player if he had only drawn well but has his work cut out from here. He has only won two from 14 this season so from draw place chances look best.
ISAIAH looks the one they all have to beat here. No matter how many different ways you look at this race he still appears the logical winner. So in our view the fight is only for the minor places. Tiger Tara, No Doctor Needed, Alleluia, Messini and Sky Major look the five with the credentials to fill the spots behind Isaiah.
1) ROYAL COUNSEL - (f, by Gotta Go Cullect - Seabreeze Franco - Holmes Hanover) Very tough filly who won the Southland Oaks in a 1:56.6 mile rate for 2,200 metres. Not super quick off the gate but if she can hold her position early, she becomes a great place prospect.
2) COUGAR BROMAC - (f, by Art Major - Congo Breeze - Holmes Hanover) Nice filly who has won six races but they have all been in the Central Districts and none against a field of this class. Not for us.
3) MILLIE SAMPSON - (f, by Bettor's delight - Cullen's Creation - Christian Cullen) Emergency who is unlucky to have missed the final. Looked special earlier in the season and last start sixth in the New Zealand Oaks was okay. A place chance if she makes it back into the field.
4) SNOOKI - (f, by Bettor's Delight - Offagain - Soky's Atom) Very game and honest filly whose only real failure to date was in the Great Northern Oaks. It is hard to see her winning the race but a definite first four chance.
5) IDEAL BELLE - (f, by American Ideal - Blistering Belle - Butler BG) Has really stepped up lately and from the draw looks the one they have to beat. Still has a trick or two having galloped twice in the fillies' features this season so no certainty.
6) SHEATHEREALDEAL - (f, by American Ideal - Blazing Spirit - Holmes Hanover) Has won five races this season but again they have all been in the Central Districts and in fields lacking the class of this race. Not for us.
7) ROCKNROLL ARDEN - (f, by Rocknroll Hanover - Winter Rose - In The Pocket) Lovely filly who has been thereabouts in all the big fillies' features this season. It is hard to see her winning from the draw but a major first four player.
8) CHARLESTON BELLE - (f, by Christian Cullen - Elite Belle - Presidential Ball) Has real gate speed but the wide draw here negates that. Would have been a first four contender from a good draw but hard to have from out there.
9) RAKSDEAL - (f, by Western Ideal - Raksplace - Artsplace) This is the worst possible draw for this super tough free going filly. Good enough to win this from a front row draw. Needs to be out and running to maximise her talents and this draw makes that highly unlikely.
10) ROCKN RUBY - (f, by Mach Three - Doug's Choice - Soky's Atom) Good third in the Great Northern Oaks against most of these which she followed up with two smart wins and then spelled. Hasn't been as sharp since her return with her last run the worst she has gone all season. Place chance at huge odds.
11) SAHARAZONA - (f, by Ohoka Arizona - Sahara Starlight - Jeremy's Gambit) Should get an award for most appearances this season, but form has tapered off badly in the later part of the season. Not for us.
12) LANCEWOOD LIZZIE - (f, by Bettor's Delight - Kamwood Elsie - Falcon Seelster) Looked above average earlier in the season before failing badly in the Great Northern Oaks. Since transferred to Barry Purdon, where she has thrived, winning two from two. I cannot see her winning from the draw but a definite first four player.
13) VENUS SERENA - (f, by Mach Three - Inspiring Dash - Falcon Seelster) Absolute super star who has over raced in her last couple. Her trainer is confident that he has fixed the problem. Has a four to one advantage head to head over Ideal Belle and at her very best would win, even from her bad draw.
14) TE AMO BROMAC - (f, by Mach Three - Tandias Courage - Stoneridge Scooter) Really at the top of her game at the moment but the draw gives her few options. She is still a serious first four player even from this draw.
Ideal Belle looks the logical choice from her great draw but we still favour Venus Serena, even though she has drawn so wide on the second line. She has over-raced in her last couple but her trainer is confident he has the problem sorted. At her very best she would win this. Ideal Belle is obviously a massive win chance even if the real Venus Serena turns up. Any two of Royal Counsel, Snooki, Rocknroll Arden, Lancewood Lizzie and Te Amo Bromac should round out the first four.
1) PHILL'S FOLLY - (g, by Great Success - Zesty - Gee Whiz 11) Won a couple in the deep South but this looks way to hard even from the ace draw. Not for us.
2) MONSEIGNEUR - (g, by Sundon - Duchess Of Whiz - Gee Whiz 11) Emergency who has only placed once from ten starts. No
3) TROUBLE RIEU - (c, by Great Success - Cong Chua Rieu - Sundon) Has gate speed so should get good run from the draw. Can't see him winning but he could sneak a first four placing.
4) MUM'S PRIDE - (g, by Monarchy - Teachers Pride - Evander's Gold) The find of the latter half of the season. First race left handed is a small question mark. Draw and manners make a serious contender.
5) KING KENNY - (g, by Majestic Son - A Touch Of Sun - Simon Roydon) He has had his issues lately but you wouldn't know it looking at his form. Stable a lot happier with him lately and he trialled super last weekend. The horse they all have to beat.
6) I'MNOTQUITESURE - (g, by Quite Easy - Wheresmemum - Muscles Yankee) One placing from just three starts makes this mission impossible. No
7) MAJESTIC TIME - (f, Majestic Son - Time To Shine - Sundon) Forget her last run as she didn't handle the Auckland way round. Has blinding speed and the mile distance is right up her alley.
8) ALL ROYAL GAL - (f, by Monarchy - Roydon Action - Sundon) Nice filly but appears to have gone right off the boil lately. Not fancied.
9) ONE OVER DA MOON - (c, by Majestic Son - One Over Kenny - Sundon) The enigma of this field. Can win this race but the draw has seriously dented his chances. He has only recently come off the unruly so one on the second line is not ideal. No doubting the ability, just the ring craft.
10) SIR GEORGE GREY - (g, by Monkey Bones - Georgeina - Sundon) Has won five so deserves respect but a few just look better at this stage. He is an outsider for first four combinations.
11) K D MUSCLES - (f, by Muscle Mass - Kazzle Dazzle - Armbro Invasion) Even allowing for her last start second, she is not going as well as she was three months ago and it's hard to see her featuring from this draw.
12) DAVEY'S BROTHER - (g, by Sundon - Jasmyn's Sister - Holdonmyheart) Nice horse long term but not against these and not over a mile. Not fancied.
13) DJOKOVIC - (g, by Sundon - Lovinski - Earl) Likes to run along in front so draw a major handicap and just a notch below the top ones. Not for us
14) HANOVERDAKASH - (f, by Monarchy - Amanda's Gem - Sundon) Nice filly but not in this field and not from this draw. Not fancied.
To us this looks like a two horse war. King Kenny has won both Derbies this season. He has had the chiropractor working on him recently and trialled super last weekend. He is definitely the one to beat. The big danger has to be Majestic Time who has blinding speed and is a noted miler. There are only two other horses capable of toppling the favoured duo and they are Mum's Pride and One Over Da Moon. Both are more than capable of upsetting but probably need a touch of luck as well.

Wenty Leagues Home Stretch
July 17, 2018
Since completion of the first suspended floor in May 2018 of the new multi-deck car park, we have completed 3 more levels and achieved 7-day pour cycles in a line with our target programme in June/July. To date over 20,000 m2 suspended concrete slabs have been poured. With concrete trucks and pumps now turning up almost every second day, it's quite an exciting atmosphere out at Wenty.
We are on track to achieve four major concrete pours in a month, which entails concrete onsite from 3am. Our final floor is due to 'top out' in August which brings on a new challenge with the install of the external façade perforated screens. The installation will happen one elevation at a time, so it will be interesting to observe the construction come to life.
We are all very motivated with the finish line insight.

News in Brief
ACLU Claims ELLs Not Served in California
More than 20,000 English-learners in California are not receiving English-language instruction that is required under state and federal law, according to civil rights lawyers who are threatening to sue the state education agency over the matter.
The American Civil Liberties Union of California last week demanded that state officials take action against 251 school districts that it says are not providing English-language-acquisition services to ELLs enrolled in their schools. Those districts include Los Angeles Unified, the state's largest, with roughly 670,000 students.
The ACLU, along with the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, sent their demands in letters to Tom Torlakson, California's schools chief, and members of the state board of education. Lawyers for the organizations said they would file a lawsuit if the state education agency did not act within 30 days.
There are roughly 1.4 million English-language learners in California. The ACLU claims that nearly 21,000 of them don't receive any language services and that many parents are not even aware that their children have been designated as ELLs because they don't receive information in a language that they understand, in violation of state law.
California education officials said 98 percent of the state's English-learners receive services, according to a statement.

Ever find a stray hair on your face that you could have sworn was not there yesterday? You look in the mirror every day and all of a sudden you scream "WHAT IS THAT? WHERE DID IT COME FROM?"
I don't get these stray hairs often. Usually, I find a white hair growing straight out from my eyebrows, and I'm quick to find the tweezers and pull out that one hair with super powers. Of course, I know these mutants can be found anywhere on the face, and I'm just lucky I haven't seen too many.
Well, yesterday, while driving to work, I was treated to a woman behind me who was determined to remove that errant hair on her chin like right now. In the car, one hand on the steering wheel, one eye on the road, and the rest of her focused on getting rid of this hair. I could see her yanking and she appeared to be tweezing. And I wondered if she carries tweezers in her car for just such an emergency.
Okay Google: is a stray hair something to be alarmed about? Is it a sign of some health problem? There are some scientific reasons, of course, and some reasons are better left saved for last.
As for the scientific, logical explanation: Dr. Heidi Waldorf, the director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital, broke it down for HuffPost. "These are terminal hairs versus the vellus hairs on the rest of the face," she said. "Hair differs in its susceptibility to testosterone. Beard and mustache hair are more susceptible."
"Hair follicles have a mind of their own," Angela Lamb, director of the Westside Mount Sinai Dermatology Faculty Practice, director of dermatology at the Institute of Family Health and an assistant dermatology professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, told HuffPost. "Many cases are hereditary," Lamb said. "If the women in your family grow facial hair, you may as well. It has to do with how your hair follicles respond to androgens [male sex hormones, like testosterone] that are present in all women's bodies."
Waldorf did say, however, that the reason it may appear longer is thanks to the different ways hair grows on the body. "Hair growth differs in different areas of the body, as does the growth cycle," she said. "Which is why scalp hair generally grows longer than eyelash hair."
Or we can go with this completely non-scientific reasoning:
It seems that these errant hairs are related to being a unicorn. No really. Read on.
Every night I wash my face and examine it to see if I have any new wrinkles. So, last night I washed my face and checked it carefully and it was normal and then this morning I woke up and found a three inch white hair growing out of the center of my forehead. What the hell, y'all?
It was totally not there yesterday and today it's there. So I pull it out with tweezers and I go to look on the internet for "fast-growing white hair" and turns out that there are a lot of message boards about people who woke up with long white hairs growing out of them and about half are growing out of the middle of their foreheads. Which is a really weird coincidence.
And, yes, I remember my great grandma having those old-lady chin hairs but this is not that, let me assure you. It's a giant, white hair growing out of the center of my forehead. And then I started thinking that horns are made out of the same thing that fingernails and hair are made of and maybe this is just the way I turn into a unicorn. So it was probably just a very limp unicorn horn. The bad news is that I freaked out and plucked it before documenting it in a picture but the good news is that, according to these message boards, these white alien hairs frequently come back out of nowhere. So if it happens again, I'll totally take a picture of it.
Anyway, this post is just to say that if you got here looking for "HOLY CRAP, WHY IS THERE A THREE INCH WHITE HAIR ON MY FOREHEAD?" you are not alone and you might be turning into a unicorn.
There you have it, ladies.

Most of us have experienced it. That moment when you decide to take a selfie at a certain angle, and all you see is that extra chin.
Sometimes it's just the camera angle, but sometimes there's enough skin and/or fat to make you think about taking action. Our dermatologists here in Dallas, Texas, can help. But how did it get there? Why does it exist? And what can you do about it? Here's the scoop.
Sometimes, it's just genetics.
Submental fat, or the fat that accumulates below the chin, has a few prominent causes. Weight gain is perhaps the most obvious path to a double chin, but it develops for plenty of people who maintain a healthy weight their entire lives.
For some, persistently poor posture can contribute. But for most of us, it's simply the combination of 2 inescapable forces: genetics and aging. We're programmed to gather fat in certain areas, and the double chin is the result.
Here's how to get rid of it.
Because double chins are so common, multiple approaches have been developed to help make them go away.
Nonsurgical Injections
The first option is also the newest. It's called KYBELLA®, and it's a nonsurgical injectable treatment that dissolves submental fat, with no incisions and no downtime. When you come in for a treatment, we begin by cleansing your neck and preparing it for treatment. You'll then receive about 50 injections during a single session (which lasts about 30 minutes). We space treatments at least a month apart to allow time for the breakdown and elimination of fat. Most patients achieve their optimal results after 2 to 4 sessions.
You can even purchase a KYBELLA treatment through our online store.
Radiofrequency Energy
If your double chin is primarily due to loose skin, or if you want your neck skin tightened after KYBELLA treatments, we may recommend Thermage®. Using a radiofrequency energy device, Thermage heats the collagen fibers down in the deeper layers of the skin. This makes 2 things happen: First, your existing collagen contracts, producing a tightening effect. Second, the heat energy also triggers the production of new collagen along the jawline and upper neck line, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin.
The results of Thermage (i.e., measurably tighter skin) emerge gradually over a 4 to 6-month period.
Topical Treatment
For milder cases of a double chin, Nectifirm® from Revision Skincare can firm up the neck and décolletage. Its mix of plant extracts, antioxidants and proprietary biotechnological blends work to smooth out rough, crepey skin as it gives the skin a gentle lift.
Available on our online store, Nectifirm is one of our bestsellers.
Surgical Intervention
In more severe cases of laxity, the best approach is plastic surgery. In your consultation, we'll tell you if your case falls under this category. If it does, we'll most likely tell you to research neck liposuction or neck lift surgery.

WASHINGTON -- In a tacit admission that older Americans could take a big financial hit from the Republican healthcare bill now making its way through Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said on Sunday that he is seeking changes in the legislation.
"We believe we should have even more assistance -- and that's one of the things we're looking at -- for that person in their 50s and 60s because they experience higher healthcare costs," he said on the "Fox News Sunday" television program.
Ryan insisted that ultimately the Republican plan would cut premium costs for people in their 50s and 60s, but "we think we should be offering more assistance than what the bill currently does."
Last week, the Congressional Budget Office said the plan in its current form could raise premiums dramatically for older individuals not yet eligible for Medicare. Among the bill's provisions is an increase in so-called age banding, allowing older people to be charged up to five times the premiums for younger individuals; current law sets a 3:1 maximum on age banding.
Politico reported that the plan was facing opposition from some House Republicans because it doesn't seem likely to curb rising premiums.
Watch for in-depth coverage of the GOP bill's evolution later this week on MedPage Today.

|| BigLeaguePolitics.com
Where is Whoopi?
"Whoopi Goldberg, a regular co-host of ABC's show "The View," has been absent from the show since Wednesday morning, just after the resurfacing of co-host Joy Behar's blackface photos Tuesday.
