(For the final month of the regular season, "Closing Time" will be called "Why you should have cared," looking beyond the final score -- at a time when losses are arguably more valuable to the Sox than wins (for draft and waiver position) -- for either meaningful signs for 2015 or simple aesthetic considerations.) Stephen Drew wasn't simply sent to the Yankees as some kind of Trojan Horse. The Red Sox recognized, even hoped, that he might help New York. But the team's desire to see Xander Bogaerts at shortstop and Will Middlebrooks at third down the stretch was so compelling that they were willing to aid an enemy with whom they had not dealt since 1997. Bogaerts has rewarded that strategy. He has shown growing comfort both at shortstop and back in the batter's box down the stretch, laying what both the player and the team hope will prove to be a springboard for greater success in 2015. Middlebrooks has been another story. The third baseman entered Thursday hitting .173 with a .209 OBP and .218 slugging mark in 32 games since the trade of Drew, and marks of .182/.249/.260 on the year. He had gone 10 straight games without a multi-hit performance; he collected two hits (and no more than two hits) in five of his first 53 games. Team officials still believe that the same player who made a splash in the big leagues in 2012 -- delivering arguably the best rookie performance of any Red Sox position player since Dustin Pedroia -- still is present, but is dormant inside the struggling third baseman. While belief in his potential remains present in the organization, however, the validation of that faith has been rare. And so, nights like Thursday matter to those who seek evidence of Middlebrooks the producer. The 26-year-old went 2-for-4 with a double , a walk and an RBI. He managed to lay off breaking stuff off the plate away, manage his at-bats and hit the ball hard. The game marked his second of the year (first since May 1, when he had two hits and got hit by a pitch) in which he reached base three times. It was the sort of contest that served as something of a reminder -- in the same venue where Middlebrooks had one of his most dominant early-career performances, slamming homers down both lines and nearly driving a ball out to center near the start of his big league career in 2012 -- from a player who has plenty to prove down the stretch in order to win a roster spot in 2015. Middlebrooks and the Sox did some spoiling, beating the AL Central-leading Royals, 6-3. OTHER REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE CARED ABOUT THURSDAY'S GAME -- Feats of Mookie: Leadoff prototype. Mookie Betts continued to serve as a kickstarter for the Red Sox offense, going 2-for-5. He has reached base at least once in all six of the games where he's led off, including four contests where he's reached at least twice. In 24 games since becoming an everyday player for the Sox, Betts is now hitting .303/.392/.493 with 13 walks and 15 strikeouts. "To have that skill set -- on-base, base-stealing ability, and in his case, the ability to impact the baseball with extra-base power, he's a pretty dynamic skill set," manager John Farrell told reporters before the game. "It's very encouraging to see the athleticism which he plays with." -- Clay Buchholz continues to offer the Sox a measure of reassurance about what he should be able to contribute next year. He delivered his fourth straight quality start (and fourth straight outing in which he reached the seventh inning) on Thursday, tossing 6 1/3 frames in which he permitting three runs (two earned) on six hits (four singles, two doubles) while walking three and punching out seven. In his last seven starts, Buchholz is now 3-1 with a 3.18 ERA, 7.8 strikeouts and 2.3 walks per nine innings. -- Jackie Bradley Jr., who stands to claim increased playing time with Betts slated to move back to second, had a tough night in his first start in four days and his second since being recalled from Pawtucket. He went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts and grounded into a double play.


The Obama administration keeps them around for some reason.
Great, just great. Obviously Obama hasn't cleaned house thoroughly enough in the past five years. God help us if the neocons are in this.
Why is Pepe Escobar the only one who ever knows what the hell is going on in the world? Why is that? This article and even the comments are worth reading before you decide to decide what you think about this mess in Ukraine. Maybe Victoria Nuland has been taking lessons from April Glaspe.
Oh, and by the way, if Crimea goes back to Russia, are they going to deport the Sunni Crimean Tatars back to Central Asia again? Just wondering.

Medical Errors: Is honesty ever optional?
Most doctors say they tell patients about their mistakes. But they also practice "defensive medicine" to protect themselves.
Jump to: Choose article section...No harm, no foul?"I'll certainly cover my tail"
By Berkeley Rice
Would you inform a patient if you made a mistake that caused an injury or might have an adverse impact on a patient's health? A staggering 94 percent of the physicians who responded to our ethics survey answered a resounding Yes—regardless of their age, gender, specialty, location, or practice size.
That candor is right in line with the AMA's Code of Medical Ethics. "It is a fundamental ethical requirement that a physician should at all times deal honestly and openly with patients," the code states. Even if a patient "suffers significant medical complications that may have resulted from the physician's mistake or judgment, . . . the physician is ethically required to inform the patient of all the facts necessary to ensure understanding of what has occurred. . . . Concern regarding legal liability which might result following truthful disclosure should not affect the physician's honesty with a patient."
While our respondents' hearty endorsement of honesty is admirable, some skeptics maintain that it's easier to brag about virtue on a survey than to actually be forthright with patients—especially in cases involving serious injury. One patient-safety advocate, when informed of our survey results, scoffed: "It flies in the face of what I believe. I doubt that most doctors would really tell."
Be that as it may, many doctors in our survey did confess to errors such as prescribing the wrong medicine or dosage, or giving the wrong immunization. Some admitted to misinterpreting X-ray or lab reports, or missing a lump during a routine breast exam. Others told of accidentally perforating a colon, eardrum, or bladder.
One mistakenly gave a patient a double dose of a narcotic. "We informed him, and observed him for ill effects," says the doctor. "Fortunately, there were none." Roger Willis, a family physician in Texas, recalls a similar error: "I'd given a patient an antibiotic in the ER. It wasn't until I was writing my notes that I saw in her chart that she was allergic to the drug. I informed the family and told them to watch for allergic symptoms."
Several physicians remembered blowing a diagnosis. A pediatrician in Ohio remembers the morning he saw a child with "what I thought was a viral illness. Later that day, her mother took her to the ER with what turned out to be an obstruction. I called the mother in the hospital to tell her she'd done the right thing, and apologized for having missed the diagnosis. She appreciated the call."
A California FP misdiagnosed a patient who came in with severe gastritis and arm pain. "A week later, they discovered that the arm pain was caused by an MI that I'd missed. After bypass surgery, the patient returned, and we discussed my error." An FP in Michigan recalls the worst kind of mistake—one that led indirectly to a child's death. "We informed the parents about the error. Being upfront about it probably avoided a lawsuit."
Based on such experiences, most doctors concluded that honesty is the best policy. "It's better to be upfront about a mistake," says Nancy Cooley, an ob/gyn in Minnesota. "It always comes out eventually, and dishonesty only causes more damage." Another doctor, echoing the same sentiment, adds, "I'd want them to hear it from me first." Says a third: "I may not call it a mistake, but I'll definitely tell the patient." "If the injuries are small and correctable, the patient will be on your side to help correct them," notes a fourth.
Roger Tyson, a family practitioner in Washington state, says, "I create a covenant with my patients: If we're going to do the best we can, we must expect absolute honesty of each other." Another respondent comments, "My patients have always appreciated my honesty, and usually say the mistake was understandable." Finally, as one cardiologist points out, "Honesty decreases the chance of being sued, and besides, it's the right thing to do. In the long run, you can live with yourself."
Some physicians doubt the wisdom of total honesty. "It's probably the right thing to do," writes one internist, "but it's no obligation." Another hedges: "It depends on the circumstances." "Not unless specifically questioned by the patient," writes one GP. An FP agrees with the policy of honesty, but cautions, "I'd be very careful about how I phrase my statements."
Randall Weyrich, a Louisiana plastic surgeon, can testify to the value of that warning. "I told one patient's family about an intraoperative complication that occurred, and what course of action I was taking. Although there was no permanent damage, she still filed a suit."
Several doctors cite the risk of litigation as grounds for caution when discussing medical errors. "I might say that something wrong occurred," says one internist, "but I wouldn't admit I'd made a mistake." Another writes: "No one is perfect. In this litigious climate, the punishment often is more egregious than the error." A cardiologist says he definitely wouldn't tell, explaining, "There are too many lawyers in Florida."
No harm, no foul?
The AMA's code of ethics doesn't clearly distinguish between situations involving real injury to the patient and those that pose no threat. Several physicians did, however. As one puts it, "Yes, I'd tell the patient if the mistake was truly significant, but not if it's trivial." Another writes: "If it caused no harm, I probably wouldn't disclose it, so as not to jeopardize the therapeutic alliance."
To see how many doctors make such distinctions, we also asked, "Would you tell the patient if the mistake didn't cause a serious problem and probably wouldn't be otherwise discovered?" In this less-threatening hypothetical situation, two-thirds of the respondents said they'd tell the patient anyway. As with the first question, the responses varied little by age, gender, location, and size of practice. Among specialties, however, ob/gyns were more likely to confess such minor mistakes, while FPs and GPs were less likely to.
How does the fear of litigation affect the way doctors practice? To find out, we asked: "Do you engage in 'defensive medicine,' such as ordering tests or seeking consultations, to protect yourself legally rather than because you think they'll be clinically useful to the patient?" Two-thirds of our respondents say they engage in such defensive techniques.
The responses varied considerably by specialty, age, size of practice, and geography. Internists, cardiologists, and ob/gyns are apparently more likely to engage in defensive medicine, and pediatricians are notably less likely to. Perhaps because they're less secure or more fearful of being sued, doctors under 45 are more likely to take defensive steps than their older colleagues, who might be more sure of themselves. Soloists, who may be more independent by nature, are less likely to take defensive measures than those in groups of 10 or more. Doctors practicing in the Midwest seem more likely to than those in the Eastern states.
Doctors' tendency to practice defensive medicine certainly isn't new. In a survey we conducted in 1987, for example, 43 per cent of the doctors said they had changed the way they practice in order to reduce the threat of a suit. And in our 1999 malpractice survey, 76 percent of those who responded admitted practicing defensive medicine. (See "Once burned, twice defensive," July 26, 1999.)
But the apparent growth of defensive medicine has caused considerable concern as well as debate. Over the past decade, estimates of the cost of unnecessary tests, medication, and procedures have ranged from $5 billion to more than $25 billion a year. A government report concluded that the subject of defensive medicine was so open to conjecture that it's too difficult to accurately calculate its cost.
Doctors who say they don't engage in defensive medicine insist it's simply not necessary. John Andino, an FP in New York, says, "I always tell the patient up front what I'm doing, or plan to do, and I try to order only tests that are meaningful." And a Pennsylvania cardiologist says: "This defensive strategy is rarely necessary if the physician is knowledgeable."
"I'll certainly cover my tail"
For most doctors, however, defensive medicine seems to have become a routine part of medical practice. It typically means ordering extra lab tests, X-rays, prophylactic antibiotics, CT scans for minor head injuries, and MRIs for back pain.
One doctor orders X-rays of an ankle "that's almost certainly just a sprain." An internist says, "I'll order colonoscopies for minimal GI bleeding to rule out cancer." Another internist admits, "I'll order an MRI for a headache even if there's less than 1 percent chance of a brain tumor." Says an ob/gyn: "I'll always order mammograms for any lumps, and ultrasounds for any pelvic pain." An Illinois GP says, "If a patient wants an unnecessary ECG or X-ray, I'll usually oblige. It keeps good faith."
Katherine Fisher, an Oregon internist, sometimes gets an MRI of the head, back, or knee "when I could probably wait and see if it improves." Debra Burns, a pediatrician in Texas, writes: "I'll occasionally use a screening lab test to prove to the patient that I'm not missing anything." Richard Chiang, a cardiologist in California, says, "I often order a treadmill test for a patient with chest pain, even though the symptoms aren't consistent with angina."
Many doctors report that they often refer patients to specialists as a form of defensive medicine. One routinely orders cardiac consults for anyone with chest pain. Another gets consults for "any patient who's really sick, to spread the burden and the risk." Some doctors are also happy to give a referral just because the patient wants one—and that may be reason enough. A North Carolina pediatrician orders a consult "if the parents are very concerned, and don't seem satisfied with the answers I give them." Roger Willis, a family practitioner in Texas, says, "Sometimes, if a patient feels a certain test is necessary, there may be a good reason for it. I've found several brain tumors that way."
The risk of a malpractice suit is clearly another powerful motivator. Many doctors say they're more likely to order extra tests or consults if the patient is angry, demanding, or possibly litigious. As one FP writes, "In the current environment, what you don't do may come back to haunt you." An internist adds, "Especially in accident cases, where litigation is almost a given, I'll order imaging studies." Thomas Layman, an Iowa cardiologist, says, "If the family seems aggressive or argumentative, I'll certainly cover my tail."
Some doctors who order extra tests and consults see nothing wrong with the practice. "I don't call it 'defensive medicine,' " says a Kansas ob/gyn. "I call it being thorough. And besides, it's what people want." An FP in Oregon insists, "It's just part of good practice: recognizing the possibility that maybe I'm not right." John Corsi, a solo internist in Rhode Island, says, "In this day and age, if you don't do it, you're either stupid or conceited."

Lost in Dakness and Confusion: Lost Highway, Lacan, and film noir
Lost in Dakness and Confusion:
Lost Highway, Lacan, and film noir
Thomas Caldwell
Metro Magazine 118, pp. 46-50
Originally published in Apocalypse Whenever,
The University of Melbourne, 1997.
With many thanks to Dean Nicholas for providing the essay.
Fred Madison in David Lynch's Lost Highway (1996) is suffering from a crisis of personal identity. Fred is a typical film noir hero, inhabiting a doomed and desolate world characterised by an excess of sexuality, darkness and violence. In Lost highway, however, Lynch has pushed the usual Oedipal themes and stylistic elements of film noir to the limits by portraying the world through the eyes of Fred Madison – a misogynist schizophrenic.
To understand Fred's condition, and the complex non-linear narrative of Lost Highway, Lynch's film can be de-coded by using the psychoanalytic methods developed by Jacques Lacan. Lacan's mirror stage theory developed the idea of three distinct but overlapping orders of human identity – the imaginary, the symbolic and the real. These stages influence each other and work together simultaneously to give most individuals a stable relationship with reality. However Fred Madison has come unstuck and the three orders have become quite distinctly separate, leading to the creation of three versions of the same story, with Fred represented by three different personae. The start of the film features Fred in the symbolic order, the middle part of the film has Fred transformed into Pete Dayton in the imaginary order, and the final part of the film has Fred possessed by the Mystery Man, representing the real order.
to be continued soon. It may take me a while, though, to type that lengthy essay.

Introduction to Typography
Instituto de Artes de California
Curso 2 de 5 en Diseño gráfico Programa Especializado
Typography is the art of manipulating the visual form of language to enrich and control its meaning. It's an essential area of skill and knowledge for graphic designers. Typography predates modern graphic design by around 500 years; it is rich in rules, conventions, and esoteric terminology—but it remains an exciting space for invention and expression. In this rigorous introductory course, we will study, name, and measure the characteristics of letterforms. We'll consider the pragmatic concerns involved in selecting and combining type. We'll peek into the rich historical, cultural, and aesthetic histories of familiar typefaces. We'll discuss time-tested conventions and best practices in setting type, as governed by principles of hierarchy and spatial organization. And we'll explore the expressive, meaning-making potential of type. Informative lectures will be complemented by a series of three peer-assessed assignments, culminating in an opportunity to design a full-scale typographic poster. Please note that this is not a software course; a basic working knowledge of Adobe InDesign or other page layout software will be assumed. You will need access to a computer and page layout software, such as InDesign, to complete the assignments.

Loved that the main typeface study was carried out throughout this course. Loved beginning with the writing assignment and then evolving into a full on typographic poster. Very fun and informative
Week 3: Putting Type to Work
This week, we will engage the visual principles and conventions of typesetting. We will look at how the spaces between letters, lines, and blocks of type can be manipulated to refine the appearance and control the meaning of type. We'll explore the ways typographic hierarchy and grid systems can further organize and clarify type. And we'll survey the rules and conventions that can add polish to your typesetting. You'll apply your skills and knowledge in a peer-reviewed typesetting exercise at the end of the week.

[MUSIC] Over the last two weeks, we've taken an up-close look at type. We've looked at both the formal qualities of type faces and at the meanings and associations they carry with them. This week, we're going to turn our attention to the principles, conventions, and best practices that govern how designers work with type and space. Setting type is fairly traditional convention bound area of graphic design, and it's really important to know how to do it by the book. But know that we will revisit and question some of what we talk about here in the last week of this course. Traditionally, the fundamental objective of setting type has been to give the type a visual form, both in its details and in its overall composition, that supports and elucidates the meaning of the text. There are a number of ways we can achieve this as designers. We can carefully control the spaces in and around letters, lines, and blocks of text so that it's really easy and unconfusing for our eyes to navigate the type. We can visually reflect the organizational logic of the text by using space semantically, by grouping things that go together, for instance, and separating things that don't. We can create hierarchy, visually reflecting what content is most essential, so that a reader can easily appraise themselves of the most important points of information. And we can apply the traditional conventions and rules of typesetting to make type as smooth, refined, and semantically correct as possible. There's a lot to cover here, but unlike other more abstract aspects of design, it's all really learnable stuff. And it can have a really dramatic effect on the refinement of your work.

But Rose was going back, after all. However, it was hard and scary. They had to go through the swamp to get there, turning this way and that, endlessly. A horrifying beast with a row of eyes and a mouthful of fangs pursued them at their heels everywhere. They even talked to it, and it would answer them. They had to run without let up to keep from being bitten, but Rose never got out of breath. Instead, she felt wave after wave of burning fear. As they were about to leave the swamp, the beast caught and ate Lukus. He was quite calm about being eaten. As his insides were being gobbled up, he told her: "Be sure to say hello to Mother and Father for me." She could feel herself sobbing, by her shaking insides, but she wasn't crying.
From there, she walked up the castle steps, feeling sadder than she had ever known. When she told Hebraun and Minuet what had happened to Lukus, they snarled at her with the same voices as the beast and blamed her for his death and disowned her. They sent her from the castle in shame, ordering her to go back and live with Ugleeuh. They said since she had allowed her brother to run away with her in the first place, her crime was as bad as Ugleeuh's had been and that the two of them were no different in their eyes.
Hebraun and Minuet's voices were now familiar again, but they were Fuzz and Lukus's voices, instead. Why weren't they talking about her exile any more? "Drat!" she mumbled as she flopped over, giving her blankets a yank that exposed her feet. "I don't want to know the piddly things about their fire and the victuals from their packs. I never will get the sleep I never got." Somehow she couldn't cover her toes without sitting up. As she did, the dawn sun shone right into her eyes. "Very well then!" she grunted as she stamped upright and jerked her blankets off the ground into a wad. She bore a horrible feeling. She hesitated as a shudder ran up her back. She hoped she never had another nightmare as long as she lived.
"Surely, this feeling will go if I merely start my day," she said, and she quickly put on her clothes and went outside.

The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils (24-26-9) vs. the Arizona Coyotes (20-32-7; SBN Blog: Five for Howling)
The Last Devils Game: On Saturday night, the Devils continued their six game homestand by hosting Carolina. The Devils weren't perfect, but the Hurricanes out-shined the Devils with their own perfection. In the first period, they were turnover happy and defensively sad. The Devils made them suffer. Adam Larsson kicked things off with a blast that Tuomo Ruutu got a piece of for the game's first goal. Adam Henrique torched John-Michael Liles to get a bouncing puck and he beat Anton Khudobin one-on-one to make it 2-0. In the final minute, a three-on-two rush paid off big when Jordin Tootoo rounded the net and found a wide-open Andy Greene cutting to the middle for a one-timer to make it 3-0. The Canes sharpened up their game at that point to avoid the blowout, though the Devils kept them honest in the second period. In the third, the Devils hung back as the Canes got opportunities to attack over and over. An open Jeff Skinner in the slot would get Carolina on the board. But that would be it, despite New Jersey's struggles at defending a 5-on-6 situation for over three and a half minutes. The Devils won their third in a row by a 3-1 score. Here's my recap of the victory.
The Last Coyotes Game: While the Devils were beating Carolina on the strength of a strong first period, the Coyotes hosted Tampa Bay. Would the Coyotes avoid a fifth straight loss? The home team got off to a decent enough start and finished the first period 1-0 due to a blast from Michael Stone. The Lightning struck back in the second period, though. Ondrej Palat got open during a four-minute power play and he ended the second minor to make it 1-1. Arizona was a mess in the second period with only three shots on net, which gave the Lightning more time to attack and take the lead. They did just that when Ryan Callahan got a fortunate backhander past Mike Smith. Early in the third, the Lightning appeared to begin to close out the game when Palat took the puck into the zone himself, warded off a defender, and scored to make it 1-3. But the Coyotes would fight back and turn it into a one-shot game. Mark Acrobello stole a puck from Steven Stamkos, went in on a breakaway, and scored to make it 2-3. Alas, the Coyotes couldn't get one more past Ben Bishop, Keith Yandle took a costly tripping penalty, and Stamkos put home a power play empty-netter to seal a win for Tampa Bay. Arizona did indeed lose their fifth straight game. Seth Juneac at Five for Howling has this recap of the loss.
The Goal: Fire away and keep firing away. One of the reasons why Arizona is so low in the standings is that the goaltending has been dire. According to War on Ice, the team's save percentage at even strength is one of the lowest in the league at 90.7%. Mike Smith has been the main man for the Coyotes and, per the NHL, he has one of the lowest overall save percentages for a starting goaltender at 89.5%. Devan Dubnyk was doing better but he has since been traded, leaving Arizona even weaker at the #2 spot. Considering that Arizona has a poor CF% according to War on Ice and they're in the bottom third in average shots against per game, the poor play of Smith has undercut the Coyotes' season dramatically. The Devils should strive to make Smith work hard just as they made Anton Khudobin work hard for two periods on Saturday. Goals can be had and then the Devils can be in a position to cruise as opposed to scramble for a result. This means dumping the puck in less and taking shots when they're open instead of making an additional pass or move for what may not really be available. This will lead to the goals they so desire and the ones that Washington will likely concede.
You Know What Goes Great With a Bad Save Percentage & a Bad Corsi For Percentage?: A bad shooting percentage! The Coyotes are just below Carolina for the league's lowest shooting percentage at even strength according to War on Ice: 6.2%. If we include all situations, then Arizona moves past Carolina and only Carolina in shooting percentage with 7.5%. Even the Devils have a superior shooting percentage than that - their lack of goals come from the lack of shots. The short summary of why the Coyotes are where they are is that they aren't good in possession and even worse in the percentages. That's a recipe for a lot of losses and so the Coyotes faithful are already wondering who would be good at third or fourth overall.
The Exception: Arizona does have one team stat that demands awareness: their power play. Arizona actually has the fifth most successful conversion rate in the league prior to Sunday night's games. Their 22.1% success rate is an anomaly since the Coyotes don't score a lot at all. After looking a bit deeper at War on Ice, it's not just the fact that Arizona actually has a decent shooting percentage in man-advantage situations. They're third in the league in shots for per sixty minutes (59.4), right behind the amazing and terrifying Washington and San Jose power plays. This means that their personnel understands their formation and runs it very well. Their power play has been scoreless in their last three games, but prior to that a PPG was a common occurrence by the Coyotes. If the Devils want to help themselves, then avoiding unnecessary fouls to keep their strong man advantage off the ice is key.
A Small Plea: By the way, the Arizona PK is, well, awful and they're on it a lot more than the power play. Please, please, please, Mr. Oates, tell the players to not waste breakouts and zone entries on hard dump-ins around the boards. Tell them not to shoot with killers right in their respective grills. Tell them to keep it simple. The Arizona penalty kill has conceded a lot of goals, nothing exotic or outside of the box will be necessary.
Add in Some Injuries and a Bad Team is Worse: Arizona has been missing the services of Mikkel Boedker, Martin Hanzal, and Zybnek Michalek among others. The latter is questionable according to this post at the Arizona Central by Sarah McLellan; Hanzal has had season-ending surgery, and Boedker has just been out. The loss of Michalek on defense is large. With him, the Coyotes had two defenders who could and did take on tough minutes and come out ahead: Oliver Ekman-Larsson (who's very good and remarkably active offensively with 192 shots on net) and Michalek. Being down to one only hurts. Hanzal has been a forward who could take on tough competition and come out ahead. His absence has hurt. Boedker hasn't done as well against the tough competition but a team as low-scoring as Arizona misses his 14 goals and 14 assists (in 45 games). Devils fans know that when a team is playing poorly, missing players that could at least contribute positively can have a huge effect. And so Arizona remains near the bottom of the league. (Note: Don't get into a tank battle with Edmonton).
So What Should the Devils Do In Light of All of This Other Than Bombing Away on Smith / Other Goalie?: Michalek possibly returning tonight can help stem the bleeding on defense. In general, the strategy would be to have which ever line that doesn't get Ekman-Larsson or Michalek needs to go hard at the defense. Those two are the only ones above 50% CF on Arizona's blueline. Keith Yandle has the points (and the shots, he's got 170, Arizona loves it's shots from distance) but he's on for points against. Andrew Campbell, Connor Murphy, and Michael Stone hasn't been good in terms of possession. Those are the four to go against, and it may be five should Michalek is out and Brandon Gormley is involved.
From a defensive standpoint, the danger men are, well, Yandle and Ekman-Larsson. They both are leaders on the team in shots, Yandle leads in points with three goals and 36 assists, and Ekman-Larsson has an impressive 17 goals for a defender. At forward, it's thin. Antoine Vermette is the leading producer at forward, but he hasn't been all that productive recently and he's the subject of trade rumors. His 47.3 CF% is the worst among Coyotes regulars per War on Ice, so he hasn't been all that good in the possession department. While Jordan Martinook and Mark Arcobello haven't played many games with the Coyotes, they have looked good as Sam Gagner's wings from a possession standpoint. Tobias Reider has joined Arcobello and Gagner for quite a bit per Left Wing Lock. Reider and Gagner each have over 100 shots on net but, alas, not so many goals. The team still has Shane Doan, who can power through but he's not getting any younger and like Vermette, he's playing more defense than offense. Provided the Devils don't get stupid and settle for a cycle of shallow-dump-to-defend-back-to-a-shallow-dump or cough up pucks, they should be able to handle Gagner's unit while limiting whatever Vermette can do.
No Lines As We Know Of: As of this writing, the Devils' lineup remains uncertain. They had the day off, according to the end of this post by Tom Gulitti at Fire & Ice. The Devils won their last three games and their last two games featured the team getting three goal leads. I doubt the co-coaches will make any real changes.
The post by Gulitti I linked to two sentences ago focuses on Jordin Tootoo playing significant minutes. It's remarkable that he's handling it well from an offensive standpoint. It's somewhat refreshing to see a Devils forward just pushing forward to try and make a play. He still remains questionable at best on defense and he's not necessarily going to drive plays forward. Nevertheless, he's making the most of his time with Travis Zajac and Mike Cammalleri. Now, if Zajac and Cammalleri are able to make the play go forward a bit more tonight, then Tootoo can perhaps contribute something else amazing - like the goal he set up for Greene on Saturday.
Keep it Up: Adam Larsson may have (correctly) received praise from the fans, Marek Zidlicky has been playing well in recent games. I hope he keeps it up; he's so much more dangerous on offense when he's not trying to play checkers when the rest of the team is playing chess. That's where he can provide value to the team and perhaps to someone else. I liked what I saw from the Scott Gomez line too on Saturday. I'd like to see them to do better.
Please Do Better: The fourth line stunk after a strong Friday night game, so I'd like them to do more positive things. I'd like to see more than just breakaways from Adam Henrique. Like getting the puck on net when he's close to the crease. I'd also like to see Eric Gelinas and Peter Harrold not have so many adventures, though that's about as likely as hoping the Devils dump the dump-and-chase on power plays. And I'd like to see the Devils keep the opposition honest with the lead for more than just a period after building one up.
Lastly: I don't think anyone should be surprised if Cory Schneider starts this one. Keith Kinkaid should be his backup per Lou's comments after Saturday's game.
Your Take: The Devils will strive to make it four in a row while the Coyotes strive to avoid losing six straight. A streak is going to end tonight. Which do you want to see happen? Who do you think the Devils have to be concerned about from Arizona? How would you like the Devils to perform tonight? Please leave your answers and other thoughts about tonight's game in the comments. Thank you for reading.

OK. Don't panic. The answer will come to me any minute. I just have to think hard about what marriage is all about. It's about love, obviously. And companionship, and mutual support. And . . . soup?
My eye rests on a huge antique silver tureen, complete with ladle. Now, that would make a perfect wedding gift. I can just see it: Suze and Tarquin sitting by the fire, ladling soup into each other's bowls. It'll be all lovely and domestic and heartwarming, and every time they drink soup they'll think of me.
Perhaps I could even have it engraved. "To my best friends Suze and Tarquin on their wedding day with love and affection from Becky." And a little poem, maybe.
Mind you, engraving is quite expensive. I'd better check how much it would all come to.
"Excuse me, how much is this soup tureen?" I say, turning to Arthur Graham, who is the owner of Graham's Antiques. This shop has to be one of my favorites in the West Village. It's small and intimate like someone's home, and everywhere you turn, there's something you might want. Like that fantastic carved chair, and a hand-painted velvet throw, and that amazing grandfather clock over in the corner . . .
"The tureen?" Arthur comes over, dapper in his jacket and tie. "This is very special. Eighteenth-century silver. Exquisite craftsmanship. You see this detail on the rim?"
"And it's priced at . . ." He consults a little book. "Four thousand dollars."
"Oh, right." My smile falters, and I carefully put the ladle back. "Thanks. I'll . . . keep looking."
So maybe marriage isn't about soup. Maybe it's about . . . chess? I run my hand over a beautiful old chess set, all set up as though a game's in progress. But I'm not sure Suze knows how to play chess.
A . . . an antique barometer?
Oh God, I'm really clutching at straws here. I can't believe it's Suze's wedding in two days and I still haven't got her and Tarquin a present. Or at least, not one I can actually give them. Months ago I bought them this gorgeous picnic hamper, filled with picnicware, a champagne cooler, really cool knives and forks, and even a rug. It took me ages to choose all the stuff, and I was so pleased with it. But Suze phoned last night to check what time we'd be arriving, and told me her aunt had just given her a fantastic present--a picnic hamper filled with Conran tableware!
Well, no way am I giving Suze the same present as someone else. So here I am in the only place I can think of where I'll find something unique. Except . . . what? She hasn't registered for gifts, because she says she hates the idea of asking people for things. And anyway, I'd never just get her some boring set of plates off a list. Suze is my best friend, and I'm going to be her bridesmaid, and my present has to be something really special.
I can feel myself starting to get anxious. OK, just think laterally. What do Suze and Tarquin enjoy doing?
"Do you have any horse saddles?" I ask in sudden inspiration. "Or . . . bridles?"
Oh well. Anyway, I'd have to get two, wouldn't I? And they probably wouldn't even fit the horses properly . . .
A carved music stand? Except how would I get it home on the plane? And anyway, neither of them plays an instrument. A marble bust of Abraham Lincoln? A picture of . . .
Hang on a minute. I push the bust of Lincoln aside and look carefully at the old trunk he's been resting on. Now that's rather nice. In fact it's very nice. I undo the straps and gently lift the lid, inhaling the smell of old leather.
Wow. This is stunning. All pale silk and leather straps, and a mirror, and little compartments to put your cuff links in. Suze will adore this, I know she will. She can use it to keep jumpers in and when she and Tarquin go on a cruise a porter can wheel it up the ramp for her and she'll look all glamorous and film-star-like.
And the point is, even if someone else gives them a suitcase or something, one of my great maxims of life is: you can never have too much luggage.
"We've had that a while." He frowns at it. "I could let you have it for . . . three hundred."
"Perfect." I breathe a sigh of relief. "I'll take it."
Mission accomplished! I've got Suze's wedding present! Thank goodness for that. Now all I need is my bridesmaid's dress, and I'm there.
"It's Miss Bloomwood, isn't it?" says Arthur, opening a large leather-bound notebook. "I'm sure we have your address . . . And yes. Here it is." He smiles at me. "Is that all for today?"
I don't need anything else. I don't even need to look around the rest of the shop.
"Um . . . Well." Idly I glance around again. It's always a good idea to have your eyes open when you're in antique shops, because there are some really good bargains out there. And it's all a good investment. I mean, this is how some people make their money.
Through the door to the back room I see the corner of a lace shawl, and feel a tug of desire. Antique shawls are so in at the moment. And since I'm buying the trunk, it occurs to me, Arthur might give it to me for half price. Or maybe even for free!
Oh, come on. I'll just have a quick look. But only at very small things, because I've promised Luke no more furniture.
"I'll have a bit of a browse." I smile back at Arthur. "Thanks."
I head happily into the back room and reach for the lace shawl, but close up it looks a bit ragged. I put it down again and pick up a cocktail shaker. This is nice. Maybe I should get it for Suze as well.
"This is cool!" I beam at Arthur, who has followed me in.
"It's fun, isn't it?" he agrees. "It goes with the 1930s cocktail cabinet."
"Cocktail cabinet?" I echo, feeling prickles of interest. "I didn't see a--"
"Here." He walks over to what I thought was a cupboard, unhooks the front flap, and displays the mirrored Art Deco fittings inside. "You see, here's where your bottles go . . . here are your highballs . . ."
I gaze at it, completely smitten. A real, genuine, 1930s cocktail cabinet. I've always wanted a cocktail cabinet.
Just think, if we had one of these in the apartment it would change our lives. Every night Luke and I would mix martinis, and dance to old-fashioned songs, and watch the sun go down. It'd be so atmospheric! We'd have to buy one of those old-fashioned record players with the big horns, and start collecting 78s, and I'd start wearing gorgeous vintage tea dresses.
We have to have this. We have to. This isn't some boring chair, or set of shelves. This is different. Luke will understand.
"How much is that?" I say, trying to sound nonchalant. I'm rather good at getting good prices in this shop. The trick is to sound as though you don't care whether you buy it or not.
"This?" Arthur looks at it thoughtfully, and I hold my breath. "This really should be seven hundred dollars. But since you're taking the trunk as well . . . I could let you have the pair for . . . eight hundred?"
Eight hundred dollars. For a wedding present and a unique cocktail cabinet that we'll treasure all our lives. I mean, this isn't like buying some pair of shoes that you'll forget about. This is a genuine investment for the future.
"I'll take them!" I beam at Arthur Graham.
"Excellent!" He smiles back. "You have a very good eye."
As I let myself into the house, there's a pile of post for us in the hall, and I quickly flick through it.
Oh. My Saks Fifth Avenue store card bill.
I look at the envelope for moment, then remove it and put it in my bag. Not because I'm hiding it. Simply because there's no particular point in Luke seeing it. I read this really good magazine article recently, entitled "Too Much Information?" in which it said you should filter out the day's events rather than tell your partner every single tiny thing and overload his or her weary mind. It said your home should be a sanctuary, and that no one needs to know everything. Which, when you think about it, makes a lot of sense.
I put the rest of the post under my arm and start to walk up the stairs. There aren't any letters from England, but then, I wouldn't expect there to be today, because tonight we're flying home for the wedding! I just can't wait.
Suze is my first friend to take the plunge and get married. She's marrying Tarquin, who's a really sweet guy she's known all her life. (In fact, he's her cousin. But it's legal. They checked.) The wedding's going to be at her parents' house in Hampshire, and there's going to be loads of champagne, and a horse and carriage . . . and best of all, I'm going to be her bridesmaid!
At the thought, I feel a pang of yearning. I'm so looking forward to it. Not just being bridesmaid--but seeing Suze, my parents, and my home. It occurred to me yesterday I haven't been back to Britain for over six months, which suddenly seems like a really long time. I completely missed Dad getting elected captain of the golf club, which was his life ambition. And I missed the scandal when Siobhan at the church stole the roof money and used it to go to Cyprus. And worst of all, I missed Suze getting engaged--although she came out to New York two weeks later to show me her ring.
It's not that I mind exactly, because I'm having such a great time out here. My job at Barneys is perfect, and living in the West Village is even more perfect. I love walking through the tiny tucked-away streets, and buying cupcakes at the Magnolia Bakery on Saturday mornings and walking back through the market. Basically, I love everything I have here in New York. Except possibly Luke's mother.
But still. Your home's your home.
As I reach the second floor, I hear music coming from our apartment, and I feel a little fizz of anticipation inside. That'll be Danny, working away. He'll probably have finished by now! My dress will be ready!
Danny Kovitz lives upstairs from us, in his brother's apartment, and he's become one of my best friends since I've been in New York. He's a fabulous designer, really talented--but he's not that successful yet. Five years after leaving fashion school, he's still waiting for his big break to come along. But like he always says, making it as a designer is even harder than making it as an actor. If you don't know the right people or have an ex-Beatle as a father, you might as well forget it. I feel so sorry for him, because he does deserve to succeed. So as soon as Suze asked me to be her bridesmaid, I asked him to make my dress. The great thing is, Suze's wedding is going to be stuffed full of rich, important guests. So hopefully loads of people will ask me who designed my dress, and then a whole word-of-mouth buzz will start, and Danny will be made!
I just can't wait to see what he's done. All the sketches he's shown me have been amazing--and of course, a handmade dress will have far more workmanship and detail than you'd get off the peg. Like, the bodice is going to be a boned, hand-embroidered corset--and Danny suggested putting in a tiny beaded love-knot using the birthstones of all the bridal party, which is just so original.
My only slight worry--tiny niggle--is that the wedding's in two days' time, and I haven't actually tried the dress on yet. Or even seen it. This morning I rang Danny's doorbell to remind him I was leaving for England today, and after he'd eventually staggered to the door, he promised me he'd have it by lunchtime. He told me he always lets his ideas ferment until the very last minute--then he gets a surge of adrenaline and inspiration. It's just the way he works, he assured me, and he's never missed a deadline yet.
I open the door and call "Hello!" cheerfully. There's no response, so I push open the door to our all-purpose living room. The radio is blaring Madonna, the television is playing MTV, and Danny's novelty robot dog is trying to walk up the side of the sofa.
And Danny is slumped over his sewing machine in a cloud of gold silk, fast asleep.
"Danny?" I say in dismay. "Hey, wake up!"
With a start, Danny sits up and rubs his thin face. His curly hair is rumpled, and his pale blue eyes are even more bloodshot than they were when he answered the door this morning. His skinny frame is clad in an old gray T-shirt and a bony knee is poking out of his ripped jeans, complete with a scab that he got Rollerblading this past weekend. He looks like a ten-year-old with stubble.
"Becky!" he says blearily. "Hi! What are you doing here?"
"This is my apartment. Remember? You were working down here because your electricity fused."
"Oh. Yeah." He looks around dazedly. "Right."
"Are you OK?" I peer at him anxiously. "I got some coffee."
I hand him a cup and he takes a couple of deep gulps. Then his eyes land on the pile of mail in my hand and for the first time, he seems to wake up.

During my $4,927+ Credit Card Application Spree earlier this week I stumbled on a card with a sign up bonus worth $455.
I'll be honest; I was really surprised since this card is rarely mentioned. The only reason I found it was because I already have Citi cards in all the other categories!
The Expedia+ Voyager card has a 25,000 point sign up bonus worth $350 in hotel stays and $100 in annual air travel credits.
The 25,000 point sign up bonus is our Free Money Friday offer this week!
Create an Expedia account if you don't have one already.
Sign up for the Citi Expedia+ Voyager* credit card.
Make at least $2,000 in purchases in the first 3 months.
Redeem points for $350 towards a hotel stay.
Expedia+ Bonus Points Offer is not available if you have had an Expedia+ or Expedia+ Voyager card opened or closed in the past 24 months.
Earning Points. Earn 4 points on Expedia purchases, 2 points on dining and 1 point on all other purchases.
$100 Annual Travel Credit. The travel credit (each calendar year) is good for Global Entry or TSA precheck, and airline incidentals on the following airlines: AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways, and Virgin America Airlines. I found a data point that listed airline gift cards as qualifying for the reimbursement! This is my plan since we already have plenty of cards with global entry reimbursements.
Expedia Gold Status. The card comes with Expedia +gold status which earns upgrades and bonus points on travel. The bonus points are for 30% on all base points earned.
Redeeming Points. You can redeem your points for hotels and airfare, not cash. The points are worth 7 cents/point at standard hotels and 14 cent/point at +VIP Access hotels.
When I started adding this offer up, I realized it actually had some potential! I had originally planned on getting the standard Expedia card with a 15,000 point sign up bonus, but quickly changed direction once I did the math on this one!
You'll earn 25,000 points for the bonus which you can redeem for $350 in VIP hotel rooms. Since the annual travel credit is based on calendar year, you should be able to claim it twice with one annual fee. $350 + $200 – $95 = $455.
I immediately switched my plans from applying for the no annual fee version with 15,000 points and no travel credit when I saw the total value on this card!


Long John or Ant Tree (Triplaris cumingiana) - Richard Lyons Nursery, Inc.
The Long John Tree is native to Central America and tropical South America. It is sometimes called the Ant Tree, because in its native habitat, its hollow branches are inhabited by stinging ants which protect the tree from herbivores. This tree can attain a height of 50-70′ with an oblong canopy that remains narrow. The bark peels off in patches, giving it a smooth blotchy trunk. This tree is dioecious, meaning there are male and female plants. The blossoms of the female tree are more deeply colored than the male tree, and produce nutlike seeds attatched to three brilliant red 2″ long propeller like wings, that are wind dispersed, fluttering down like tiny helicopters.

Lottie Holman O'Neill: First Woman Illinois
Legislator (R-Downers Grove)
Long before the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, giving women the right to vote nationwide, state Rep. Lottie Holman O'Neill (R-Downers Grove) was hard at work for the causes she believed in.
A native of Pike County, in western Illinois, Rep. O'Neill married in 1904 and moved to the Chicago area to pursue a career. She was inspired to enter politics by U.S. Rep. Jeanette Rankin (R-Montana), who became the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress in 1916. She became active in the Business and Professional Women, and before long she was an activist for equal voting rights, working with the League of Women Voters during the debate on the 19th Amendment. Illinois gradually granted women the right to vote – starting in 1913 with legislation allowing women to vote only for President, but O'Neill would not be satisfied until women had access to the entire ballot.
Her efforts bore fruit when Illinois became the first state in the union to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1920. When it came time for candidates to declare for the 1922 elections, Lottie Holman O'Neill announced that she would be a candidate for the Illinois House of Representatives. Victorious in 1922, Rep. O'Neill represented a wide swath of territory running from Elgin, in Kane County, southeast through DuPage and Will County to the Indiana border.
Rep. O'Neill sponsored legislation establishing an eight-hour work day for women in Illinois. She also was an advocate for disabled children and for parks, as well as schools and civil rights. In 1930 she ran unsuccessfully for the Illinois Senate, but after returning to the House, she made history again in 1950 when she ran a second time for the Senate and became Illinois' first female Senator.
O'Neill continued to make her presence known in the Senate, where she was an opponent of growing state budgets and excessive regulations. She was a delegate to the 1956 Republican convention, and was outspoken on federal issues as well. Sen. O'Neill retired in 1962 after 40 years in the General Assembly – making her the longest-serving female elected official in America at that time, a record which has since been eclipsed. By the time she retired, Sen. O'Neill was so respected by her colleagues that she had become known as the "conscience of the Senate."
Upon her retirement, Sen. O'Neill declined an invitation to have a statue of her placed in the rotunda of the Illinois Statehouse. She told friends that she did not want her statue to face the "scoundrel" who defeated her in the 1930 Senate primary "for all eternity across the rotunda." Following her death in 1967, a school was named for her in Downers Grove, but friends later decided to honor her achievement anyway, placing her statue in the rotunda in 1976. In accordance with her wish, however, she does not face her old rival: he is to her right with Mayor Richard J. Daley between them.

8 Facts About the Wage Gap That Will Make Your Blood Boil
It was 1963 when President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act, but more than 50 years later, women are still getting shortchanged when it comes to equal pay for equal work.
By Jillian Kramer
It was 1963 when President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act, but more than 50 years later, women are still getting shortchanged when it comes to equal pay for equal work. Women on average earn just 79 cents of what our male peers take home. But if that's not enough to make your blood boil, we've got eight more infuriating facts about the gender pay gap in honor of Equal Pay Day.
1. Some women are losing out on more than a MILLION dollars. According to an analysis by the National Women's Law Center, the average Latina woman makes more than $1 million less than the average white man over the course of a 40-year career, while black women earn $877,480 less than the average white man over that same career span.
2. The gender pay gap actually gets worse we age. Women who are 35 and younger can, on average, expect to earn about 90 percent of what their male peers make. But by the time we turn 36, the percentage we earn drops as low as 76 percent, according to the American Association of University Women.
3. Women are locked out of top-paying fields. Women are underrepresented in industries with the highest average wages, including the technology and healthcare sectors, but account for more than half of the workforce in the lowest paying industries, including leisure and hospitality and retail trade. Pipeline problems, as McKinsey & Company report shows, keep women from entering and advancing in the highest paying fields.
4. There's not even a good reason for the wage gap. Data from the Current Population Survey shows that choice in industry and occupation accounts for 20 percent of the gender wage gap. (In other words, if you choose to work in retail over technology, you can expect a smaller salary.) But a whopping 80 percent that is not explained by experience, age, race, education, industry, or occupation. The next time someone says that women just choose jobs that pay less, bust out this statistic.
5. When we have children, women lose money—but men GAIN it. Research shows that women can increase their earning potential by 9 percent by delaying having a child for even a year. And yet, men continue to enjoy pay increases when they have children. Of course, when women take off work to care for children, we take a huge hit to our salaries.
6. Women go without pay more often than men. Because we don't have as much access to paid leave as our male counterparts, we're more likely to take leave without pay—to have a baby, for example. What's worse, data from the Council of Economic Advisers shows the gap in paid leave is especially large among workers without a college education, where 52 percent of men—but only 44 percent of women—have access to paid leave.
7. The gender pay gap goes way beyond salary. Not only are women's salaries significantly lower on average than men's, we're often short-changed on compensation packages too—think: employer-sponsored health and retirement benefits, training opportunities, flexible work arrangements, and paid family and sick leave, according to the Council of Economic Advisers.
8. It could take us 100 years to catch up. When it comes to worldwide pay equality, we have a long, long way to go. According to the World Economic Forum's annual Global Gender Gap Index, we could be waiting another 100 years before women around the world earn as much as men. Globally, the report shows, women now on average earn half of what their male peers are paid.

Top 3 Posts from January and February from our IP Law blogs
Kluwer Patent Blog/ February 28, 2017 March 20, 2017 /Leave a comment
To ensure you don't miss out on interesting IP law developments reported on our other IP blogs, we will, on a regular basis, provide you with an overview of the top 3 most-read posts from each of our IP law blogs. Here are the top posts from January and February 2017.
Top 3 Kluwer Copyright Blog posts of January/February
1) Linking to illegal content can constitute a copyright infringement – CJEU Sanoma interpreted by a German Court by Jan Bernd Nordemann and Viktoria Kraetzig
"In GS Media vs. Sanoma, the CJEU recently ruled that linking to illegal content may be considered to be a "communication to the public" and can therefore constitute copyright infringement (C-160/15 of 8 September 2016). The District Court Hamburg has now been among the first German courts to take account of the CJEU's decision. The Hamburg court has, in particular, interpreted what constitutes a "for profit" link and what duties the linker has to check the legality of the content linked to."
2) GS Media in the National Courts: Fresh Issues on the meaning of 'for profit' by Geert Lokhorst
"Lower courts can give fresh insight into the adjudication taking place at the highest national and European courts. This is especially true for the recent GS Media case. The German and Dutch courts have created new food for thought on the meaning of placing a hyperlink 'for profit'."
3) The ECJ condemns the French Act on digital exploitation of out-of-print books by Brad Spitz
"The French Act No. 2012-287 of 1 March 2012 'on the digital exploitation of unavailable books of the twentieth century' created a specific compulsory collective management system for out-of-commerce books … These new provisions were intended to allow the digitisation and reissuing of books that are still protected by copyright, but no longer exploited ('out-of-print' books) …However, the ECJ, in its judgment of 16 November 2016 (Case C‑301/15), ruled that Articles 2(a) and 3(1) of Directive 2001/29/EC of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society must be interpreted as precluding such national legislation."
Top 3 Kluwer Trademark Blog posts of January/February
1) German Federal Patent Court cancels shape mark for sweets due to its mere technical function by Bettina Clefsen
"Following a request for cancellation, the Federal Patent Court decided to cancel a shape mark for sweets arguing that it exclusively consisted of a shape necessary to obtain a technical result."
2) Draft of a new Trademark Act (Markenrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz) by Ulrich Hildebrandt
"On 3. February 2017 the German Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection presented a draft of an act to implement Directive (EU) 2015/2436 of the European Parliament and of the Council to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks … The draft closely follows the provisions of the Directive and merely fulfills its aims. The only change that is not mandatory due to the Directive is a proposal for a new fee structure similar to that of the EUIPO. The Ministry hopes to adopt this law before the next German Bundestag is elected in autumn 2017."
3) Are you threatening me? Unjustified threats almost creep into EU trade mark enforcement by Julius Stobbs
"For manufactures of steam engines in the late 19th century, tactics of systematically threatening to sue your competitors' customers for infringement of intellectual property rights were fair game. Nowadays, businesses in the UK have to contend with the laws on unjustified threats which prohibit such unscrupulous practices. Whilst this undoubtedly protects businesses from being bombarded by spurious claims, on the flip-side it can make enforcing legitimate brand rights dangerous territory."
Top 3 Kluwer Patent Blog posts of January/February
1) Italy ratifies the Unified Patent Court Agreement by Kluwer UPC News blogger
"Italy has ratified the Unified Patent Court Agreement. It is the 12th member state of the Unitary Patent project to do so. The instrument of ratification, the formal final step in the procedure, was deposited with the EU Council on 10 February 2017."
2) 'The Unitary Patent system has become an emergency patchwork' by Kluwer UPC News blogger
"Since the UK announced it wants to ratify the Unified Patent Court Agreement despite the Brexit vote (last week the new IP minister of the UK, Jo Johnson, repeated the announcement of his predecessor Baroness Neville-Rolfe), preparations for the system have restarted in full, despite the fact that a British membership brings about uncertainty. Prof. Dr. Thomas Jaeger, European law expert of the University of Vienna, is very critical of the way the UP system has been pushed through over the last years, most recently after the Brexit vote. Kluwer IP Law interviewed Dr. Jaeger."
3) UK will ratify UPCA in March and has political will to stay in Unitary Patent system post-Brexit by Kluwer UPC News blogger
"The UK will ratify the Unified Patent Court Agreement (UPCA) in March, most likely before the Brexit article 50 is triggered. German will be ready to ratify soon as well, but will delay the official deposit of its instrument of ratification with the EU Council, with a view to the Court starting its operations on 1 December 2017 (art 89 UPCA), preceded by a Provisional Application Phase.
This timeline was outlined by Alexander Ramsay, chairman of the UPC Preparatory Committee and Kevin Mooney, chairman of the Drafting Committee for the Rules of Procedure, on the first day of the Unitary Patent Package Conference in Amsterdam."

Sweden: The mark "Taxi Stockholm" distinctive and enforceable for taxi services
David Leffler (Cirio Law Firm)/ March 3, 2017 March 20, 2017


This is the work of Lawrence from Custom Shack based in Kent. His tag is Kaos and he has done complete vehicles, bonnets and items like crash helmets. We met him a few times at a meet at Briely Coachworks in Tonbridge wells, keep an eye on TorqueCars events page in the forum to see when the next meet will be. His work is of a fine standard and you can tell he enjoys what he is doing. Each work of art comes together rather quickly taking around a day for each one. Full cars obviously take longer.
We will be looking at more of Kaos work next week.

Continuous Delivery is a software development practice where software is always in a releasable state. Teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that the software can be reliably released at any time. By relying on automated testing and deployment, as well as ensuring collaboration and communication between development and operational teams (DevOps), the goal of building, testing, and releasing software faster and more frequently can be achieved. This approach can help to reduce the cost, time and risk of delivering changes by allowing for more incremental updates to applications and configuration items (CIs) into production.
A straightforward and repeatable deployment process is important for continuous delivery and will be critical for operational processes such as Change Management and Release and Deployment Management to be agile and robust in the DevOps environments where continuous delivery will be part of best practices.
· Visibility – All aspects of the delivery system including building, deploying, testing and releasing are visible to every member of the team to promote collaboration.
· Feedback – Team members learn of problems ASAP when they occur so that they are able to fix them as quickly as possible.
· Continually Deploy – Through a fully automated process you can deploy and release any version of the software to any environment.
Continuous Delivery also requires that whenever anyone makes a change that causes an automated test to fail, breaking the deployment pipeline, the pipeline and all associated systems must be brought back into a deployable state. In some cases, the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) may be to have continuous integration and deployment reject any changes that take the code or configuration out of a deployable state.
Remember it is all about "Flow" in which continuous delivery is just one of many practices utilized in the "First Way".

Dinosaur "mummy" unearthed, WWII love letter recovered, ancient bracelet found, nun's murder reopened, T. rex's bite force measured.
Dinosaur 'Mummy' Unveiled With Skin And Guts Intact
Robert Clark/National Geographic
You can't even see its bones, yet scientists are hailing it as perhaps the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever unearthed. That's because, 110 million years later, those bones remain covered by the creature's intact skin and armor.
Indeed, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Alberta, Canada recently unveiled a dinosaur so well-preserved that many have taken to calling it not a fossil, but an honest-to-goodness "dinosaur mummy."
With the creature's skin, armor, and even some of its guts intact, researchers are astounded at its nearly unprecedented level of preservation.
"We don't just have a skeleton," Caleb Brown, a researcher at the Royal Tyrrell Museum, told National Geographic. "We have a dinosaur as it would have been."

WWII Veteran Finally Receives Love Letter Sent 72 Years Ago
Virginia and Rolf Christoffersen
Rolf Christoffersen received many loving letters from his wife, Virginia, during his time fighting for the Allies with the Norwegian Navy.
But one note from May 1945 never reached its destination overseas.
Instead, it lay hidden in a crack in the family's old New Jersey home for more than seven decades — the yellowing envelope covered in purple "Return to Sender" stamps.
It was recently uncovered by the house's new owner, Melissa Fahy, who came across the long-lost treasure during renovations.
"When I read it, I just couldn't believe the love and admiration she had for her husband," Fahy told NBC New York. "It was really sweet to see that long-distance love."

Researchers Find Oldest-Ever Bracelet Alongside Extinct Human Species
Anatoly Derevyanko and Mikhail Shunkov, Vera SalnitskayaThe Denisovan bracelet made of chlorite
A fragmented green bracelet was recently confirmed to be the 40,000-year-old creation of an ancient hominid species.
The accessory was found in 2008, in a cave alongside the bones of a wooly mammoth and the shockingly-preserved pinkie finger bone of a little girl who, scientists later determined, was not a human at all.
After extensive DNA tests, researchers concluded that the girl had brown hair, eyes and skin and was between 5 and 7 years old when she died.
They also found that she belonged to a previously unknown hominid species, which they named Denisovan, after the Siberian cave where the remains were discovered.
The Denisovans — or Homo altaiensis — are a lesser-known hominid species believed to have migrated from Africa, along with Neanderthals and modern-day humans, between 300,000 and 400,000 years ago.
Though little else is known about the species, the bracelet suggests they were much more advanced than originally suspected.

Dead Priest's DNA Could Solve Nun's Decades-Old Murder
Catherine Ann Cesnik and Rev. Joseph A. Maskell
Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik's decomposing body was found in 1970.
When a father and son out hunting in Maryland mistakenly happened upon the corpse, the 26-year-old nun had already been missing for almost two months.
Nearly five decades later, Cesnik's murder remains unsolved. But Baltimore County Police detectives think one dead Catholic priest's DNA might hold the missing clue.
Which is why, on February 28, they dug up his grave.

Scientists Figure Out Exactly How Strong A 'Bone-Crushing' T. Rex Bite Was
It seems obvious that you wouldn't want to get caught between the banana-sized chompers of the history's most famous dinosaur.
Until recently, though, scientists were unsure of just how thoroughly a Tyrannosaurus rex could mash your bones into pulp.
Thanks to a new paper in Scientific Reports, that mystery has been solved.

Corrie actor Sam Aston says his female followers are all penioners who "just want to adopt me".
Coronation Street star Sam Aston has revealed that his female fan club is made up of OAPs who want to "look after" him.
The 15-year-old, who plays the loveable Chesney Battersby-Brown, told The Mirror: "I haven't really had any attention from girls since I joined the show.
"Chesney is more of a geeky guy to be honest, so old ladies over 65 are my biggest fans. They stop me in the street and say 'I'll look after you'."
Aston, who recently signed a new 12-month contract with the soap, entered the Street in 2003 as the son of Cilla Brown. Speaking about his salary, the actor said he saves what he gets for when he is older.
Aston is the youngest of nine siblings and remains at school. His mum, Janet, said stardom has not gone to his head, adding: "I don't think the others would let him get above himself."

Q: Disable content bounce in WP8 Cordova app - disallowoverscroll does not work I have the following code that I run in Visual Studio to deploy a Cordova app to a WP device. I added background colors to certain elements to see how the scrollable content is being rendered. When I scroll to bottom or top, the unordered list will bounce off its parent and the blue background will be visible. How do I render the list so that I only see a yellow background when the bottom or top of the list is reached?
