Protecting IP Rights for Semiconductor Equipment
Using Section 337 Investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission to Protect IP Rights Relating to Semiconductor Equipment
By Gary M. Hnath, Mayer Brown LLP
Semiconductors have been at the heart of most technological progress in the last few decades, and the equipment used to test and manufacture semiconductors is a vital part of the semiconductor business. Manufacturers of semiconductor fabrication equipment seeking to protect their intellectual property and prevent competition from unfair imports have a powerful remedy at their disposal which many do not even know about — Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).
The semiconductor equipment industry is no stranger to patent litigation. Infringement lawsuits have been filed in federal district courts throughout the United States in the last few years by companies such as August Technology (semiconductor wafer inspection equipment), Tegal (plasma etching equipment used to make semiconductor chips), Dainippon Screen Manufacturing (semiconductor manufacturing equipment), Reid-Ashman Manufacturing (test head manipulators and interfacing equipment), Semitool (centrifugal wafer carrier cleaning apparatus and methods for cleaning wafer carriers), MKS Instruments (semiconductor processing equipment), ASM America (equipment used to make semiconductor chips by atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition), Ade (inspection equipment), Intest (mechanical interfacing equipment), Varian Associates (equipment used to sputter coat semiconductor wafers), and Applied Materials (thermal reactor system for semiconductor processing).
Section 337 investigations at the ITC provide a powerful alternative to district court litigation for protecting intellectual property rights. Section 337 prevents unfair acts in the importation of articles into the United States. The ITC has the power to issue exclusion orders which are enforced by U.S. Customs and prevent unfair imports from entering the United States at the border. This article will describe the types of cases that can be brought under the statute, the types of remedies available; how a Section 337 proceeding works; and why semiconductor equipment manufacturers should consider using Section 337 to block infringing imports from coming into the United States.
Types of Cases that Can Be Brought under Section 337
Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 is a statute which prohibits unfair acts in the importation of articles into the United States. Section 337 proceedings take place before the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, DC. As the following graph shows, the number of Section 337 complaints filed has more than doubled in the past 5 years and continues to rise rapidly.
There are three basic elements for showing a violation of Section 337 and getting an exclusion order from the ITC. First, it must be demonstrated that there is some unfair act involved. Second, there must be some connection between the unfair act and importation into the United States, or the sale of goods after importation. Third, a complainant must show that a "domestic industry" exists.
As to the first requirement, virtually any unfair act in the importation of articles can be asserted under Section 337. Over 90 percent of the cases at the ITC involve allegations of patent infringement. However, Section 337 complaints have been based on a variety of other unfair acts, including trademark and copyright infringement, trade dress infringement, grey market goods violations, unfair competition, trade secret misappropriation, passing off, and violation of the antitrust laws. The statute could be used for other unfair acts as well. For example, if products were being made abroad using factories that violate environmental laws, or if illegal child labor was being used, or if the imported products violated safety standards, Section 337 could provide a remedy.
While the ITC's jurisdiction is limited to cases involving imported products, this is not generally a difficult requirement to satisfy. As fewer and fewer products are actually manufactured in the United States, more and more of those products are made outside the U.S. and come within the ITC's jurisdiction. The importation requirement can be satisfied by any importation; a single sample imported for display at a trade show in the U.S. can suffice. A contract for sale may also satisfy the importation requirement, even if no importation has yet taken place.
A company bringing a Section 337 case must demonstrate that a domestic industry exists. Once again, however, this is not usually a difficult requirement to satisfy. In a case involving "statutory" intellectual property rights, such as patents, registered trademarks, copyrights and mask works, the domestic industry test can be satisfied through a variety of activities. Manufacturing in the United States is one way to satisfy the test but is not required. A company involved in significant or substantial activities relating to engineering, research and development, licensing, or even other activities such as quality control and after sales service, may be able to satisfy the domestic industry requirement if sufficiently related to the intellectual property right being asserted. Even foreign-based companies can also use the ITC to their advantage. Indeed, in 2009, over 25 percent of the complaints filed at the ITC were filed by foreign based companies with U.S. operations.
In a case involving "non-statutory" intellectual property or other unfair acts, such as trade secret appropriation, trade dress infringement, antitrust violations, and so forth, a complainant must show injury to the domestic industry. Injury can be shown, for example, by demonstrating that the unfair imports have been causing a loss of sales, lower prices, or adversely affecting employment in the U.S. When actual injury has not yet occurred, the statute permits a showing of a "threat of injury". If a company is concerned enough to bring a Section 337 complaint, it is likely that it will be able to prove injury to a domestic industry under the statute.
How a Section 337 Investigation Works
The process at the ITC begins with the filing of a complaint by the complainant, outlining the alleged unfair import practices, the basis for importation, and what constitutes the domestic industry. The Commission has 30 days to decide whether to institute an investigation. Typically, the Commission will institute as long as the complaint complies with the Commission's rules.
The case is then assigned to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The parties proceed much as in a typical court case, except that everything moves much faster. In general, parties will have 10 days to respond to discovery requests and motions, rather than 30 days or more as in most cases in federal or state court.
The parties in a Section 337 case exchange documents and other discovery and, where appropriate, submit expert reports. Any party can file a motion to resolve both procedural and substantive issues. The case then goes before the ALJ for a hearing, or trial. Typically, trials at the ITC are in the range of 1 to 2 weeks. Any party can call witnesses and submit documents as evidence at the hearing.
After the hearing, the ALJ issues his decision, or initial determination, as to whether or not there has been a violation of the statute. Parties can ask the Commission to review all or part of the ALJ's decision. The Commission then issues its final determination on whether or not Section 337 has been violated, and if so, the appropriate remedy. A party adversely affected by the Commission's decision can file an appeal with the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, but the ITC's exclusion order is in effect while the case is being appealed unless a respondent is able to obtain a stay of the order, which is unusual.
The Advantages of Using Section 337 in Cases Involving Semiconductor Equipment
Section 337 is ideally suited to protect the intellectual property rights of companies that make semiconductor manufacturing and testing equipment. For one, Section 337 is extremely fast. By statute, cases must be resolved expeditiously. Typically, target dates are set which require the entire investigation to be completed, from initial institution of the investigation until a final Commission decision, within 12 to 16 months. This means that the case is likely to go to trial in less than a year, much faster than most federal or state courts. This is particularly important in an industry, such as semiconductors, where technology changes rapidly. An injunction from a district court that takes several years before a case is resolved will be of little use if the technology in the meantime has become obsolete. Section 337 offers a quicker alternative than most district courts.
One common problem with district court litigation is that an infringer can avoid the effect of an injunction by attempting to "design around" the patent. An injunction would be limited to the specific products at issue in the case, or other products not "colorably different" from those products. An ITC exclusion order, however, can cover all products made, imported or sold by the respondents that are infringing, not only the products found to infringe during the investigation, therefore capturing new products that still infringe the patent.
In addition, in certain situations, a complainant may be able to obtain a general exclusion order that prohibits the importation of all infringing products, regardless of source. These remedies are not available through the courts.
All known companies can be named in a single investigation at the ITC, including companies that are manufacturing infringing products outside of the United States, importing the products into the United States, and selling the product after importation. In a typical court case, it may be necessary to bring multiple cases in different states in order to satisfy jurisdictional requirements.
Another important advantage of Section 337 is that in a court case, it may take several months to serve respondents in some foreign countries, and the complaint and supporting documents may need to be translated. In contrast, the ITC serves the complaint on all proposed respondents by certified mail without the need for translations. Companies named as respondents in a Section 337 investigation must answer the complaint and comply with discovery requests, or a default can issue and their products can be automatically excluded from the United States.
Many semiconductor equipment patents include claims for processes for testing or manufacturing products. Section 337 is particularly useful in such cases. Even if the equipment is being used outside of the United States, Section 337 can prevent the importation of products made using a patented process involving the equipment, thus providing more complete protection against infringing uses of the patent owner's technology.
Furthermore, the Administrative Law Judges at the ITC are very familiar with handling patent cases, and so you know you will be before a judge that is knowledgeable in these types of matters.
These are just some of the reasons that the ITC is often the forum of choice for companies asserting violations of intellectual property rights and other unfair acts involving imported products.
As this discussion indicates, Section 337 can be a powerful remedy for semiconductor equipment manufacturers to prevent unfair competition from competitors that may be quicker and more effective than federal court litigation. At a minimum, companies should weigh the pros and cons of a Section 337 investigation when considering their options to protect their intellectual property rights.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Columbia field hockey assistant coach Caroline Nichols formally announced her retirement from the USA Field Hockey National Team. Nichols recently capped her brilliant career at the 2014 Rabobank Hockey World Cup where she helped the United States to a fourth place finish last month.
A pivotal piece of Team USA's backfield and a two-time Olympic Games veteran, Nichols will transition away from the squad with a total of 165 impressive caps to her name. A solid force on penalty corners and penalty strokes, Nichols' skillset was greatly utilized most recently at the 2014 Champions Challenge and Hockey World Cup where the United States made impressive finishes. Nichols is a 2007 Old Dominion University graduate and became part of the National Team that same year.
"Caroline represented the USA with incredible passion and loyalty over her tenure with the program," Lions head coach Marybeth Freeman said. "She is one of the most accomplished USA hockey members to pass through the program and she has left her mark on the world's stage. We couldn't be happier for Caroline, her accomplishments and for the pivotal role she played in making the USA a strong world-class contender. We're excited to have her back!"
"Caroline has had a terrific international career having competed on the world stage," said U.S. Head Coach Craig Parnham. "Her diligence to training is evident and Caroline's career was capped by her final tournament at the World Cup in Holland during which she had an outstanding series of matches. Like many other players on the Women's National Team, Caroline will have inspired many younger players to take up the game. As Caroline moves on to a new phase in her life, we wish her every success."
"I will forever miss wearing the red, white and blue and representing my country as a player, but look forward to supporting and cheering for Team USA at every possible opportunity," said Nichols.

Student or Learner
I am preparing for the ielts. could anyone help to comment the essay? Thanks in advance!
the topic: The internet has altered out lives over the past few decades. although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive. what is your opinion?
My answers:
With the development of the internet, dramatic alterations in our life have been performed during the past few decades. The huge impacts from intensive network technology on our work and life draw arguments among people about the effects from it. In accordance with my experience, I consider its benefits overweight its drawbacks.
Internet renovates the communication methods in modern life. It was not surprising that two decades ago writing a letter was the main approach for people to keep in touch with each other. Business man found waiting to get a reply letter from the another company aboard was a time-consuming, boring and ineffective work. However, Email, created with the developed internet, makes the distance not a problem any more. Moreover, people can chat on the internet even see each other wherever how far they live. Most of business issues are dealt with by the methods on the network basis now. We could not imagine our work without the internet.
Internet alters the ways people learn knowledge and technologies. Searching the internet to find answers when a student has doubt on things is becoming popular rather than going to a library. Network contains knowledge with no limitation to topics, places, decades, ages. It acts as a super library beyond our image. More, you can even enrol an online study course for further education. Who can wipe the positive huge impacts on education from the internet.
No denied that internet brings some bad habits for some people, such as spending too much time in playing games and reducing the time the family joins together. But all these side effects could be coped with by developing good habits. Considering the huge advantages it brings to our life, the drawbacks could be minored and even omitted.

Cultivate a Taste for Gardening Books
Every year about this time people start visiting the library in search of books for garden inspiration or help in dealing with such practicalities as lawn mower maintenance. As for myself, I am not a gardener. While my husband deals with the serious work of getting the vegetables started and fruit trees sprayed I plan the color schemes of the flowers. If I can get a small bed of salvia planted, and a few pots filled with petunias I will feel that I've had my gardening experience for the year. For those of you who aren't gardeners, you will find some fiction with a garden theme at the bottom of this list, and of course all these books are available through your public library.
The Essential Garden Book by Terence Conran and Dan Pearson (Three Rivers Press, 1998).
Famous designer Conran, teams up with one of Britain's best young gardening experts to briefly cover a multitude of garden topics, from lighting to woodland planting. Of course they make sound easy but you will be enchanted by the wonderful photos and illustrations in this outsized book. I'm not going to tell my husband about this for fear he will want to re-design our yard.
Taylor's Guide to Growing North America's Favorite Plants by Barbara W. Ellis (Houghton Mifflin, 1998).
A big, colorful book, this landmark work is designed to answer all the questions you have about growing the most popular garden plants.

By Ann Middleton
In his March 11, 1971, The Bossier Banner article "Bossier Parish in Retrospect," Rupert Payton shares his view of how the Civil War began in Bossier Parish and ended in Caddo Parish.
When the citizens of Bossier declared war on the United States on November 26, 1860, at the tiny community of Rocky Mount, they preceded South Carolina's secession by almost a month and the firing on Fort Sumter by almost five months. Bossier Parish's strong spirit of rebellion and its resentment of the election of Abraham Lincoln (Lincoln did not receive a single vote in the 1860 presidential election) led Bossier citizens to hold a mass meeting where a resolution declaring war "For the Protection of Our Homes" was almost unanimously adopted. Bellevue and Collinsburg took similar action three days later. A company of militia, the Minute Men of Bossier was immediately organized, uniforms and weapons were purchased and drilling was begun. Five months later the company, now called the Bossier Volunteers, marched off to war, many of its soldiers never to return.
Payton goes on to explain that, in 1862, when Federal Forces captured New Orleans, the Confederate capitol was moved to Shreveport which was also the headquarters of the army of Trans-Mississippi, in addition to being the office of then governor Henry W. Allen. Union forces targeted Shreveport frequently but not until after the Confederate surrender were Union forces able to take Shreveport. The last significant Confederate victory of the war was at Mansfield, Louisiana, on April 8, 1864. Robert E. Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865 but the army of Trans-Mississippi under the command of General Kirby Smith continued the struggle hoping that England and France would come to the aid of the South. In spite of further Confederate resistance, Smith realized the futility of continuance and he left Shreveport leaving General Simon Bolivar Buckner in command. Morale of the Confederate soldiers sunk low. They were unpaid and hungry. General Buckner finally accepted surrender as his only alternative and he signed the requested terms at New Orleans on May 26, 1865. Smith formally ratified the surrender terms at Galveston, Texas, June 2nd, and then sought asylum in Mexico.
In his address on the Shreveport Court House Square, Governor Allen said:
"My countrymen, we have for four long years waged a war we deemed to be just in the sight of high heaven. We have not been the best, the wisest, nor the bravest people in the world, but we have suffered more and have borne our suffering with greater fortitude than any people on the face of God's green earth. Now let us show the world that as we have fought like men, like men we will make peace. Let there be no acts of violence, no heart burning, no intemperate language, but with manly dignity, submit to the inevitable events."
Allen, as did General Smith, sought asylum in Mexico.
J. Fair Hardin, twentieth century Shreveport historian, wrote "So here in truth we may say that the sun which rose in such material glory at Manassas, on the hills of the Potomac, sank forever here in Shreveport, on the banks of the Red."

Meet Elle Luna, who believes design plays a role at every stage of the process--even before teams start to think visually.
Dan Pink in his book A Whole New Mind has chapters on storytelling and design as essential 21st Century work skills. Here is a demonstration of how the two are coming to life.
This article is an interview with a former IDEO designer Elle Luna who calls herself a "designer, storyteller, and startup advisor."
She chats about how humanizing brands is essential these days -- they are honest, emotional, and engaging (if done right, I add).
The link to storytelling? You can't understand or design effective customer experiences/products/services without listening to and gathering customer's stories. And you can't engage your customers without sharing your stories in return.
The only danger here? Not enough emphasis in the interview was placed on the ongoing dynamics of story listening and story sharing over time. But I am confident that will come!
Enjoy reading the rest of this article and continuing to understand that storytelling is an essential business core competence.

The Florida House voted unanimously on a bill aimed at protecting the Everglades on Friday.
Apparently, Gov. Rick Scott, an environmental group and the sugar industry are all happy with the bill, which deals with what has been a highly contentious issue.
Here is an early roundup of reaction from stakeholders:
Statement from Eric Eikenberg, CEO of the Everglades Foundation, Regarding Action on HB 7065 & SB 768
Tallahassee, Fla. – The following statement was released today by Eric Eikenberg, CEO of the Everglades Foundation, regarding action taken on House Bill 7065 and Senate Bill 768:
"The Everglades Foundation is pleased by today's passage of HB 7065 by the full House, which will ensure continued revenue for protecting America's Everglades, while also protecting the 1993 Statement of Principles that guide Florida's restoration efforts. We also thank members of the Senate Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee for their support earlier this week of CS/SB 768, which mirrors HB 7065.
"HB 7065 and SB 768 protect water quality standards, provide a reliable source of funding for implementing the state's Water Quality Plan and bring together all the stakeholders involved in the future of the Everglades. Protection and restoration of the Everglades has historically been based on compromise and many parties working together, and I believe this legislation is further proof of that.
"We now look forward to working together with the Florida Senate to usher CS/SB 768 to the Senate floor for full approval, and also working with both chambers to ensure that needed funding is secured to implement the necessary projects and initiatives to continue to restore and protect America's Everglades."
Gov. Scott Applauds Legislative Action Protecting the Everglades
TALLAHASSEE - Today, the House of Representatives unanimously approved House Bill 7065, coming on the heels of yesterday's Senate Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee that unanimously approved Senate Bill 768. Governor Rick Scott issued the following statement regarding the progress of the Everglades Forever Act legislation:
Governor Scott said, "I applaud the work of Senator Wilton Simpson and Representatives Matt Caldwell and Steve Crisafulli for their legislation that moves Everglades restoration forward by funding, and codifying in law, a plan that will ensure the state meets the water quality standards it has set for the Everglades. I would also like to thank members of the agriculture and environmental communities for working toward a solution that will benefit Florida's businesses, families and the ecosystem. In addition to this important legislation, we will continue working with the Legislature to invest $60 million to protect and restore the Everglades."
Bill codifies last phase of Everglades plan, recognizes crucial role of farmers
Tallahassee, Fla. -- U.S. Sugar Corp., Florida Crystals Corp., and Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida applaud today's passage of Representative Matt Caldwell's Everglades restoration bill, HB 7065. The bill as amended reflects an agreement by farmers, policymakers, and environmental advocates. HB 7065 passed the House with unanimous support.
The bill will align state law and a bipartisan, state Everglades plan that Gov. Rick Scott and the Obama administration agreed to last year in order to move past litigation and finish restoration.
The legislation establishes the appropriation framework and provides for funding for ecosystem restoration project construction. The language calls for Florida's sugar farmers to continue their successful on-farm Best Management Practices (BMPs), paid for entirely by farmers, and recognizes their success as has been demonstrated by a reduction of phosphorus of 55 percent over the past 17 years. It also extends the Agriculture Privilege tax, an additional payment made by Everglades Agriculture Area (EAA) farmers, until 2035.
"This legislation demonstrates the art of compromise between all parties and is a victory for all of us who have been part of Everglades restoration efforts for 20 years," said Robert Coker, Senior Vice President of U.S. Sugar. "We are committed to striking the balance that allows us to grow the nation's food and also continue to serve as
partners in the state's restoration plans."
In addition to House passage, the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation amended SB 768, Everglades restoration legislation by Senator Wilton Simpson, to match the House bill and passed it unanimously. This will allow the Senate to move swiftly, pass this Everglades bill, and send it to the Governor for his approval.
"For two decades, the Florida sugar industry has worked together with policymakers, environmental advocates, and other stakeholders in the best interest of Florida," said Gaston Cantens, Vice President of Florida Crystals. "This agreement is a continuation of that successful collaboration and spirit of cooperation we know will get the job done
for restoration."

Checking in on… the MVCPosted by Brian Goodman on February 8th, 2011
Patrick Marshall of White & Blue Review is the RTC correspondent for the Missouri Valley Conference.
A Look Back
BracketBusters Matchups—BracketBuster matchups were announced last week, and the Missouri Valley Conference was awarded three games on national television.
- 2/18, 6PM, ESPN2–VCU @ Wichita State
- 2/19, 4PM, ESPN2–Missouri State @ Valparaiso
- 2/19, 6PM, ESPN2–George Mason @ Northern Iowa
The other matchups between the other conference members:
- Creighton @ Akron
- Evansville @ Murray State
- Morehead State @ Indiana State
- UW-Green Bay @ Southern Illinois
- Illinois State @ Western Michigan
- Detroit @ Drake
- Bradley @ Tennessee-Martin
Bradley Has a Winning Week – After starting conference play 0-11, Bradley has reeled off a couple of wins against Creighton and Southern Illinois. In the game against the Bluejays, the game was moved up four hours to avoid a snowstorm that still left Creighton stranded. The Salukis on the other hand were blown out at home by Drake before coming to Bradley. The Braves were able to take advantage of the other team's struggles to garner a couple of wins and a glimmer of hope that Jim Les will be back next season.
Southern Illinois Imploding—If you were watching last Wednesday night, you saw Southern Illinois get torched by Drake's outside shooting. What you may not have seen was Chris Lowery calling out his team, saying they "quit" during the game. To make matters worse, at the end of the week, it was announced that three players, including two starters, were suspended for three games based on an assault incident on campus. The SIU program has a lot to sort out.
Northern Iowa Suffers a Blow—Lucas O'Rear was injured Wednesday evening against Illinois State. The man of much facial hair ended up suffering a fractured ankle and is now out for the rest of the season. This is a big blow for the Panthers in their run back up the Valley standings. Without him, Northern Iowa suffered a loss to Drake and now have to regroup for the final stretch run to try and get their third straight MVC regular season championship.
Player of the Week—Andrew Warren, Bradley—The play of Warren has been overshadowed by the performance of Bradley as a team this season. However, the talented guard has been carrying this team on his shoulders and continued that this week. He averaged 23 points and almost seven rebounds in the two victories against Creighton and Southern Illinois.
Newcomer of the Week—Rayvonte Rice, Drake—The freshman led the way for Drake this week in their two victories averaging 21 points a game over Southern Illinois and Northern Iowa this week. In a year dominated by Doug McDermott from Creighton, Rice has been coming on as of late. Both Rice and McDermott will lead their respective teams against each other this week.
Power Rankings (Record) (Conference Record) (Last week rank)
- Wichita State (20-4) (11-2) (1)—The Shockers have quietly made their way to the top and are holding on to the conference lead after two wins this week over Drake and Indiana State. After Southern Illinois on Tuesday, the Shockers go on a tough run to end the season at Northern Iowa, at Evansville, the BracketBusters game against VCU, hosting Creighton and then finishing at Missouri State. If Wichita State makes it through this stretch of games, they definitely deserve the MVC regular season crown. One interesting note is that there has not been a Wichita State player that has won a weekly award from the MVC offices, and it has been suggested that they decline the award if a Shocker does get one.
- Missouri State (18-6) (10-3) (3)— The Bears have hit a bit of a wall losing two of their last three and surviving against Indiana State on Saturday. However, the schedule is favorable for Missouri State as four of their final five conference games are against teams at the bottom of the league. It should make for an interesting race between the Bears and the Shockers. A missing part of Missouri State's team this year has been Adam Leonard. If the Bears are going to have a solid run to finish the season, Leonard is going to have to step things up. He has spent extra time in the gym. Hopefully for them, it reflects well down the stretch.
- Northern Iowa (17-7) (9-4) (2)— The Panthers had won eight in a row before and looked like they were rolling until Lucas O'Rear went down against Illinois State which led to the letdown against in-state rival Drake. Three of the final five conference games are on the road including going to Evansville this week for what appears to be a typical "trap" game. They then have a showdown with Wichita State on Saturday night which will decide if they still have a chance for the top of the mountain. Will Dick Vitale actually be in Cedar Falls for their BracketBuster game? I wouldn't hold my breath.
- Creighton (15-10) (7-6) (4)—The Bluejays endured the embarrassment of allowing Bradley to get their first conference win of the season. They did rebound to knock off a hot Evansville team and are now putting themselves in a good position to secure a top-four seed in the MVC Tournament. But they can't let down against Drake and Southern Illinois this week. Doug McDermott continues to put up some amazing numbers—such that he could earn himself awards at the end of the year, including a spot on the All-MVC team.
- Evansville (13-10) (7-6) (6)— Evansville started off the week with a nice win against Missouri State even without leading rebounder and second leading scorer Kenneth Harris. However, they ran into a Creighton team with something to prove and took down the Purple Aces to be tied for fourth place in the Valley race. One thing is for sure, they will not be cellar dwellers this season and the team has made some great strides. They get to host Northern Iowa this week before heading to Peoria to take on Bradley.
- Indiana State (12-12) (7-6) (5)— The Sycamores are coming back to earth after their hot conference start. They have now lost five straight games after playing against the top teams in the league. I guess they have to be satisfied with moral victories. However a date with Illinois State and Drake might be what they need to finish off strong.
- Drake (10-14) (5-8) (9)—Drake won both of their games this week and jumped out of the bottom of the league. They hit 16 three-pointers their win against Southern Illinois and held off Northern Iowa to beat their in-state rival. If it was up to Rayvonte Rice, he thinks they could go on a big run to get to the postseason. Creighton comes to town on Tuesday before heading to Terre Haute for a date with Indiana State.
- Bradley (8-16) (2-11) (10)—Teams will take wins any way they can get them. For Bradley, that first conference win came against Creighton. With that win and a victory against Southern Illinois, who they caught at the right time, Bradley enjoys the month of February. January was winless, but in February, they have two wins already. They get to play the role of spoiler, going to Springfield to take on Missouri State and celebrate alumni weekend against Evansville.
- Illinois State (11-13) (3-10) (8)—The Redbirds are back to their struggling ways after winning three in a row. It wasn't a surprise that they lost to Wichita State and Northern Iowa, but they did keep things close. Any game in the MVC is a possible upset and you never know what is going to happen. They can spoil the party for everyone with the Sycamores and the Bears coming to town this week.
- Southern Illinois (10-14) (4-9) (7)— We have talked about already how Southern Illinois has hit rock bottom. Fans are getting tired of the once proud program that will be missing the postseason for the third year in a row. It will cost the school dearly to send Chris Lowery packing, but it may be the only option after spending millions of dollars remodeling SIU Arena and playing to a half full crowd. One way or another, things must change.
A Look Ahead
Look out for these games:
2/8—Northern Iowa @ Evansville (No TV)—The Panthers are struggling without Lucas O'Rear and head for their second straight road game without him. Evansville has been hot and could knock them off.
2/8—Southern Illinois @ Wichita State (Local TV in both markets)—The Shockers are the dominant team in the league at this point and SIU is in shambles right now. However, there is always a chance for a shock here, pardon the pun.
2/9—Bradley @ Missouri State (Fox Sports Net)—Bradley has a couple conference wins under their belt and could play the role of spoiler. Missouri State needs to keep winning.
2/12—Wichita State @ Northern Iowa (ESPN2)—This is a big game for both teams, but even bigger for Northern Iowa to try and catch up to the Shockers. The Shockers on the other hand are trying to pull away from the rest of the league. A special 9PM CST start for this one.
2/13—Southern Illinois @ Creighton (ESPNU)—Is this one of the final games in the Chris Lowery era at SIU? Creighton is looking for a good seed for the MVC Tournament. Oh yeah, and it is a rivalry game, but that is sort of lost in the mix at this point.

Submission + - Software Patents in New Zealand Dead. Again. (computerworld.co.nz)
Hairy1 writes: Wellington, New Zealand. Minister of Commerce Simon Power confirms that software will be included as an exception to the Patent Bill currently before Parliament. After the initial announcement made earlier this year that software patents would be excluded from patentability significant pressure was applied by "NZICT", an organisation representing the major multinational IT vendors. After a meeting with NZICT on June 9 the Minister initially appeared to change course, saying that a modification may be made and raising fears that behind the scenes lobbying had derailed the transparent Select Committee process. Those fears are now quiet after the Minister confirmed that the Bill would be adopted by Parliament as recommended by the Select Committee.

MARSHALL COUNTY, OK - A boating accident on Lake Texoma sends two teens to the hospital Sunday.
OHP said 14-year-old Baylee Green and 19-year-old Antonio Martinez were air lifted to OU Medical Center in stable condition after they were thrown from a boat.
Troopers say the boat Green and Martinez were on was struck when the boat's power was cut and they turned into the path of an oncoming vessel.
Troopers say Green was driving.
The driver and passenger on the other boat were not injured.
The crash happened about half a mile southwest of the Roosevelt Bridge in Marshall County.
Troopers said every one was wearing a life jacket.

The coaches tape which is done from one end zone and from the top of the press box has to focus on the plays on the field, not the guy calling in the plays with hand signals.
Dont minimize what your team did. They were stealing signals, reviewing them during halftime and then using that to their advantage in the second half.
At home, they would intercept headset signals.
Your team cheated. Brady's numbers will never count in my eyes since he knew what the defense was in most of the time.

European Union adds Hezbollah military wing to terror list
European Union governments have agreed to put the military wing of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on the EU terror list.
The move is a major reversal of policy driven by concerns over the group's activities in Europe.
Until now, the EU had resisted pressure from Washington and Israel to blacklist Hezbollah, arguing such a move could fuel instability in Lebanon, where the group is part of the government, and add to tensions in the Middle East.
The decision triggers the freezing of any assets the group's armed wing may hold in the 28-nation EU.
Britain and the Netherlands had pressed their EU peers since May in support of the vote, citing evidence the group was behind a bus bombing in Bulgaria last year.
"It is good that the EU has decided to call Hezbollah what it is, a terrorist organisation," Dutch foreign minister Frans Timmermans said.
"We took this important step today, by dealing with the military wing of Hezbollah, freezing its assets, hindering its fundraising and thereby limiting its capacity to act."
To do so, ministers agreed that EU political and economic links with Lebanon would be maintained.
A draft of the meeting conclusions noted that making use of "restrictive measures to combat terrorism does not prevent the continuation of dialogue with all political parties in Lebanon".
"Legitimate financial transfers" and aid will also not be affected, it added.
Britain pressed hard for the decision, saying it was a "high priority."
"It is very important that when there is a terror attack on European soil there needs to be a reaction," British foreign secretary William Hague said.
Mr Hague said he did not believe that blacklisting Hezbollah "would destabilise Lebanon".
"It is important to show that we are united in face of terrorism," he said.
German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle agreed.
"We cannot allow the military wing of Hezbollah to carry out terrorist activities in EU ... we think we have to answer such activities ... and the answer is to blacklist them," he said.
Mr Hague and other ministers deplored the deterioration in Syria where president Bashar al-Assad has made inroads against the rebels who are torn by bloody infighting and growing extremism, prompting concerns they will lose the war.

Tomato Pesto Sauce Recipes
Red Pesto Pasta Salad Recipe
Pasta salad is an easy dish for quick on-the-go meals. For this version, I used radiatore pasta because its unique shape that traps the sauce into the corkscrew-style curls. The sauce is a colorful bright red pesto made of sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red bell pepper, eggplant and pine nuts.
This is a perfect main course or side dish for picnics or summer parties. This time, I let the pesto pasta salad chill in the refrigerator for our family's road trip to Oregon. We're leaving in the wee hours of the morning today and will arrive in Ashland for Oregon's annual Shakespeare Festival. We're looking forward to the visit! I will try to post about it and share our experience with you.

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta with Turkey Sausage
Pasta and sausage is a combination that is probably not new to most people. The challenge is that I need to make the dish accommodate both the vegetarians and meat eaters in my house.
To this end, I separately grilled tofurkey (mock turkey made of tofu) and apple turkey sausages and mixed them into two batches of homemade sun-dried tomato pesto sauce.

WILSON, NC – Senior forwards Allie Wilkerson and Tara Davis tallied two goals apiece and senior Jessica Corsey added two assists Wednesday night as the Barton College women's soccer team tallied a 4-1 conquest of Conference Carolinas foe Coker.
Wilkerson scored off a pass from sophomore Dillon Sauls in the 15th minute, but Coker countered with a breakaway goal by Katie Holliday just two minutes later.
It was not until midway of the second half that Barton took control, getting goals from Davis at 51:29, Wilkerson at 60:41 and Davis at 76:58. Rachel Lawson assisted Wilkerson's second goal.
Barton, amid a six-team battle for third place with three weeks left in the regular season, rose to 4-5-4 overall and 4-2-2 in the league. Coker slipped to 4-8-1 overall and 1-7-1 in the conference. Barton entertains last place Converse Saturday night at 7.
The four goals was Barton's second-highest offensive output of the season.
The Lady Bulldogs outshot Coker 15-3 and missed a penalty kick early in the second half. Ashley Gregory notched two goalie saves for the victors while Margaret McCoy claimed 11 saves for the Cobras.

It's more like a "z" when I say it.
Student or Learner
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.
It's more like a "z" when I say it.
Same here.
if a words ends in a vowel in the case of ancestors ' the schwa' then the final 's' is pronounced /z/. I suggest you refer to "The English Pronouncing Dictionary" by Daniel Jones
Also, the simple rule is, the audible phoneme (sound) immediately preceding the final S determines whether the S is voiced or unvoiced, as the S simply follows its pattern:
dog - dogs (/z/ because /g/ is voiced)
cat - cats (/s/ because /t/ is unvoiced.)

"He ran a decent race to be fourth in the Holy Bull (Jan. 29) and fifth to Union Rags in the Fountain of Youth (Feb. 26)," said trainer Stanley Gold. "He had a little trouble at the start of the Fountain of Youth, but not enough to give him an excuse. He was beaten only nine lengths by Hansen and Union Rags in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1), which is hardly a disgrace.
The field for the 61st Florida Derby is also expected to include Fountain of Youth winner and Kentucky Derby (G1) favorite Union Rags, Risen Star (G2) winner El Padrino, Fountain of Youth runner-up News Pending, Gulfstream Park Derby winner Reveron, Arlington-Washington Futurity (G3) runner-up Take Charge Indy and Neck 'n Neck, fourth in the Fountain of Youth.
A son of Awesome of Course, Fort Loudon earned his chance in the Breeders' Cup by winning four straight races last year as 2-year-old at Calder, including a sweep of the three 'open' divisions of the track's Florida Stallion Stakes series, an accomplishment achieved by the same team in 2009 with emerging star Jackson Bend.

Today an eclectic roundup of handy apps that you can download. Unless noted, they are in English and work on both iPad and iPhone. All are free.
Israel HaYom English Edition
Since it debuted five years ago, Israel HaYom has leapfrogged to become the country's most popular newspaper. Like its hard-copy counterpart, this iPhone edition is free and includes news, commentary and photo galleries. [http://bit.ly/jewapp9]
Channel 2 News (iPad only)
If you prefer to watch the news rather than read it, then download the superb Channel 2 News app. Watch broadcasts live, when available. (Don't forget about the time difference.) Or choose from a huge selection of on-demand reports. Even if you don't speak Hebrew, you'll feel like you've just switched on an Israeli TV. [http://bit.ly/jewapp10]
Yeshiva World News
For a window into a different kind of news, this app draws on content geared to developments in the haredi world – although I certainly saw a mix of general news when I visited. Also, check out the "Coffee Room," where I found fascinating discussions about "Yeshivish Hipsters," people having difficulty finding shiduchim (matches), and some inspirational stories. [http://bit.ly/jewapp11]
Hebrew Date Converter
The High Holiday season is around the corner, and if you find yourself scrambling for the dates of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur or Sukkot, download this app. You get today's Jewish date at a glance, as well as the Jewish and secular dates for all holidays during the upcoming year. [http://bit.ly/jewapp12]
Shadows of Shoah (iPad only)
Using striking, contemporary black-and-white photos, subtitles and a piano score, this app tells the story of five Holocaust survivors. In 2008, New Zealanders Perry and Sheree Trotter interviewed and photographed several Holocaust survivors living in Israel. Starting with that encounter, the Trotters plan to create a comprehensive website, an audiovisual art exhibition and this free app, which will eventually include teaching plans and additional Holocaust-related material. [http://bit.ly/jewapp13]
Anne's Amsterdam
This one is geared to visitors to Amsterdam. Rather than just retell the story of Anne Frank, this app challenges you to interact with Anne's Amsterdam by "collecting" 30 items from various locations in the city. For example, when you click on Niersstraat 41-43 (Montessori school), you learn about Anne's prewar days and view a short video with her childhood friend, Hanneli Goslar. [http://bit.ly/jewapp14]
For Israelis Abroad
This is a handy app designed for Israelis who venture beyond their borders. It includes general information about safety and how to conduct yourself while travelling. "Avoid political debates with strangers and keep away from demonstrations." Also includes basic travel information about dozens of countries and facts about Jewish communities. A handy reference guide for anyone who speaks Hebrew. [http://bit.ly/jewapp15]
Kibbutz Lotan Ecological Living Guide
The kibbutz, located in the Arava Valley north of Eilat, is a well-known centre for ecotourism. Even if you aren't planning a trip to the Negev, the kibbutz's free app is certainly worth a download. You'll find tips for "Thinking Ecologically," with information about gardening, lowering your water usage, sowing seeds indoors and vermi-composting, using worms to break down organic waste. After that, you can learn about passive building design and about the community's responsibility to the environment. [http://bit.ly/jewapp16]

August 2013
Released: 2013, Relapse Records
Rating: 5.0/5
Reviewer: Aaron Yurkiewicz
These are tumultuous times that we're living in friends…Global economies are in disarray, political discontent seems to know no boundaries, and the world is in a state of unparalleled upheaval. In times of uncertainty, the masses should find solace in the one unifying constant that will always be dependable, that will always be certain. Friends, rejoice in the comfort in knowing that death is always certain.
This message is a paid political advertisement by the campaign for NECROCRACY 2013.
In a year already packed to the hilt with quality releases, Exhumed ups the ante yet again with their latest full length platter o' gore, NECROCRACY. An album that does the unthinkable by besting its predecessor (the phenomenal ALL GUTS, NO GLORY), NECROCRACY is the crowning achievement from this generation's sultans of sickness.
Consider this scenario – in an alternate universe, if Carcass had released an album in between NECROTICISM and HEARTWORK, it would've sounded a helluva lot like NECROCRACY. It's an album that's every bit as visceral and ugly as anything you'd expect from Exhumed, but which exhibits a pedigree of exceptional songwriting and performance quality that everybody kinda knew that the band was capable of, but had yet to be fully realized. NECROCRACY is the musical culmination of everything that the band has been building towards since ANATOMY IS DESTINY – smartly crafted death metal riffs, lead runs that would make Priest and Maiden proud, and an overall catchiness in the songwriting structure that begs to be heard. Opening with the death metal anthem of the year, "Coins Upon the Eyes", the band tears into the album bearing a mouth full of teeth and a cadre of six string wizardry that immediately puts Exhumed on a completely different level of reverence. Driving head first through the grind friendly "The Shape of Deaths to Come" to the buoyant volley of the title track (which is possibly one of the best in the band's catalog to date), and on through the night to the stalwart march of "The Rotting", Exhumed rarely stop to come up for air on NECROCRACY. And it's wonderful; it's an album that's both straightforward brutality and tasteful maturity, wrapped in a rotting carcass left exposed on the side of a freeway.
When I found myself sitting at my desk singing the chorus to "Dysmorphic" while working on Excel spreadsheets for my day job, I quickly realized that NECROCRACY is a definite contender for best of show in 2013. With the only plausible exception being Carcass' forthcoming SURGICAL STEEL, Exhumed's NECROCRACY is easily the best death metal album of the year – it simply CAN'T get better than this. At least until their next album, that is.
NECROCRACY releases globally in August through Relapse Records.

August 2013
Released: 2013, Relapse Records
Rating: 4.5/5
Reviewer: Peter Atkinson
Until the long-awaited new album from the reincarnated Carcass arrives next month – and it is quite awesome – fans can get themselves primed with the latest effort from California's also recently reanimated Exhumed. Perhaps the most competent and clever of the gore-grind acts that followed in Carcass' wake, Exhumed returned after a five-year hiatus with 2010's stellar All Guts, No Glory, which ratcheted up the technical death metal prowess and eased up on the overt splatter-ama.
Despite some rather significant lineup changes, only guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey remains from the Guts roster, though former bassist Bud Burke returns this time on guitar and vocals, Necrocracy – the band's fifth album overall - is an excellent follow up that takes the changes in stride and plays to their strengths. And in its approach, Necrocracy, perhaps ironically, perhaps not, recalls Carcass' similarly titled 1991 masterpiece Necroticism, with grit and grace doled out in equal measure.
Groovier and gnarlier than Guts, Necrocracy is as catchy as it is brutal and as sophisticated – if that's the right word - as it is savage, thanks to the lockstep tag-team riffing and nifty soloing of Harvey and Burke, meat-grinding vocal tradeoffs of Harvey (the guttural) and bassist Rob Babcock (the shrieking), and the gut-wrenching rhythms of Babcock and Mike Hamilton. The beefier backbone gives Exhumed a swagger that actually makes them sound more menacing, even as the material is less obviously grotesque - "The Rotting" and "Dysmorphic" being about as "sick" as things get, and "Dysmorphic" ends up being tempered by a short acoustic foray.
The somewhat rough-hewn production here is a perfect fit as well, giving Necrocracy an abrasive old-school feel that delivers genuine crunch – and copious slabs of it – and avoids the clinical sterility that has become so common. Instead, "(So Passes) The Glory of Death," the title track and "Carrion Call" come at you with hooks aplenty and grind away with determined glee. And if thing get a bit messy, so be it.
This is death metal the way it should be, but hardly is anymore: complex but still compact, well-played without being wanky, brutal without going to ridiculous extremes, and listenable, if not inviting, in spite of its inherent ghastliness. Necrocracy kills, plain and simple.

Patients benefit from clear, comprehensive and quality patient education materials
Navigating our complicated health care system isn't easy. But clinicians at the Massachusetts General Hospital Transplant Center are taking steps to help patients find their way. By publishing an award-winning patient education book and streamlining the patient evaluation process, the Transplant Center stands out as a leader in patient education.
This summer the Transplant Center received a Silver National Health Information Awardfor the patient education book Transplantation: What Do I Need to Know? (PDF) A panel of experts judged more than 1,000 entries for this elite award. Entries included brochures, audio/video, newspaper and magazine articles, books and other media from hospitals, publishers, ad agencies and trade associations.
"These awards set an industry standard of quality for consumer health materials, and this 'seal of quality' helps health professionals find the best consumer health information resources for their programs," says Patricia Henze, executive director of the Health Information Resource Center, which organizes the National Health Information Awards program.
The book explains the transplant process (from initial evaluation to surgery and follow-up), limitations after surgery, medications and side effects and a glossary of common terms used in transplantation. Over 40 transplant nurses, coordinators, social workers, case managers and physicians developed Transplantation: What Do I Need to Know? (PDF). Since 2008 over 500 patients and family members have received a copy of the book.
Patients accessing the web can also download a copy from the Transplant Center's website.
"The project re-emphasized our focus on patient care and education, and it demonstrates how much we can achieve as a center, working together," says Jay Fishman, MD, co-director of the Mass General Transplant Center and director of the Transplant Infectious Disease Program.
Understanding care from the very beginning
Health education is important for all transplant patients, especially those who are too sick or anxious to fully understand their treatment. They should know the signs of graft rejection or infection and ask about new activities, vaccines or life changes (e.g. pregnancy). Because patients are usually first to recognize illness, they should also know when to seek treatment.
"Transplantation is very much a partnership between the medical staff and the patient – at every stage of the transplant experience. The goal is to make this as seamless as possible, so people understand transplantation and know their care providers," explains Fishman.
As the Transplant Center grew, (it now includes heart, lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, islet and multiple organ transplants), the team expanded its patient education offerings. Clinicians started group education sessions, and patients now receive coordinated evaluations by the entire transplant team, including physicians and surgeons, transplant coordinators, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, a transplant financial advisor and nutritionists.
"Each person provides a different perspective and essential information for patients," says Fishman.
Making sense of complex medical information
Every organ transplant program at the center provides educational brochures and presentations to patients. Written at 6th grade reading level, the materials strictly adhere to recommended health literacy guidelines. Patients can even reference glossaries and medication lists that explain common side effects.
But Fishman says there's more to do. The next step is translating the materials into multiple languages. Patients should also be able to manage their health care experience online – by accessing records, refilling prescriptions and even communicating with doctors.
"We have to make sure our patients have sufficient information to recognize problems when (and if) they occur," says Fishman.

And they'll be filling his 'slot' in prison. At least there'll be plenty of tables to play. If he plays his cards right, he'll probably get a shortened sentence. Maybe he can roll the dice and get in with a gang that will protect him.
Hopefully he'll be well behaved and won't end up in the pit.
I literally laughed out loud when I read the bit about "Zynga" and "worth 12 million".
Just because they are trying to sell them for 12 million doesn't make them worth that.
Social Game Maker Zynga's Market Valuation Tops $5.5B

Who's laughing now?
Throw him in the worst virtual jail there is !!
I'm sure something can be arranged in Second Life...
Gang raped by furries ?
he might like it.
Yeah really! Make him use AOL.. on dial up.. at 14.4
Incredible.. we have gone completely bonkers
You whippersnappers.. Some of us used 300 baud modems (not with AOL).
As if they would not notice. This is a "currency" they
control. While the guy seems to have been at least somewhat capable for
being able to hack, I can see the risk analysis on the other side: "We can
track those in detail anyways, so if so somebody steals them, we will easily
identify the thief. No need to secure this better." I mean, how stupid can
you get? Obviously a person that cannot generalize or apply his intellect to
something not in his narrow vision.
In addition, he has a previous (suspended) sentence of 30 weeks for hacking.
Obviously also unable to learn.
When a former school-mate that is now a
police detective told me that they do not catch the really smart perpetrators, but
that there were plenty of dumb ones around of any level of intelligence, I
first did not believe him. By now I do. This is just one more data point.

To put it in a way that is easier to understand: Int: 18, Wis: dump stat.
you and 1337 others like this
I keep dreaming of a day when things like this will not be described at a grade 6 reading level. (Full blame on TFA in this case.)
- Chips were not stolen. A number in a database was forged.
- He did not "make off" with anything. Probably didn't leave his chair.
I like Tron and Ocean's Eleven too, but using these metaphors for real crime is just as goofy.
I am reminded of how the fractional reserve system works:
A and B have balances of $0.
A deposits $10.
A has a balance of $10; B has a balance of $0.
B asks for a loan of $5; bank "uses" A's money.
A has a balance of $10; B has a balance of $5.
The house always wins.
What, are those zynga chips worth actual money? As far as I remember you got them for free all the time, removing the point of the whole game.
...the CFO of Parker Brothers was convicted of felony embezzlement when he tried to make off with 12 million pink Monopoly dollars.
Funny how my story sounds ridiculous yet 21st-Century funny money is a "crime".
By getting a business license, then he could steal like paypal and get away with it.
if you steal cash from a bank, the cash you have stolen is anonymous (well, it usually is): that is, there's no way to tell later if it is the same cash you stole from the bank
but this guy just moved around bits on someone's server. hey frank, the ton of chips with id #445566, where'd they go? hey jack, maybe its this guy here, with a ton of chips with id #445566?
i mean seriously: you're smart enough to hack a server, but not smart enough to play that scenario out?
I know a guy that hacked into a bank and stole real money from someone's account and transferred it into HIS OWN PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT.

The project had funding commitments of $92-million each from VIA Metropolitan Transit and the Texas Department of Transportation.
In a statement regarding the project, the city cited a lack of community support for the 5.9-mile streetcar project. Interim San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor, who was picked by City Council members last week to fill Julian Castro's place after he was named head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is asking city staff to draft an ordinance for City Council consideration which withdraws the city's $32 million to the streetcar project, redirects those dollars to other development initiatives and states that the City Council will not approve streetcars without a vote of the electorate. The mayor also plans to appoint a Charter Commission to explore transportation and other issues.
"We hear and understand the concerns of our community and agree to discontinue our involvement in the streetcar project. We wish to give San Antonio residents the opportunity to provide input on a new proposal which could culminate with a community-wide vote," said Mayor Taylor. "The public's support and participation in deciding on public transit services is important to the City. It is also consistent with the City's current effort to update the San Antonio Comprehensive Master Plan and Transportation Plan."
In a statement published on its website in March 2014, VIA Metropolitan Transit said its legal council concluded a referendum on a streetcar project is not permitted because the agency is not asking for a new or increased tax.
"The state legislation that governs VIA specifically requires the agency to hold a referendum for any new tax or for any increase in an existing tax rate. Since the streetcar system will be built using existing local funds and no new tax or tax increase is needed, a referendum is not permitted.
"The legislation also restricts referendums related to rail projects to transit authorities that have principal municipalities with populations greater than 1.9 million or less than 850,000. San Antonio has a population of just under 1.4 million."
"The short, simple answer is, VIA is not permitted to hold a referendum on the streetcar project," said VIA Board Chairman Alex Briseño. "Similarly, referendums are not held for other transportation projects in the region, such as toll roads and highway interchanges."

On Tuesday night, Fox News talking head Bill O'Reilly his colleague, Megyn Kelly, on his program to discuss the Supreme Court's looming decision regarding Prop 8 and gay marriage. During the segment, Kelly posited that it's a waste of breath to discuss the religious side of the argument.
O'Reilly agreed and took it a step further.
"I agree with you 100 percent, the compelling argument is on the side of homosexuals. That is where the compelling argument is. We're Americans, we just want to be treated like everybody else. That's a compelling argument, and to deny that you've got to have a very strong argument on the other side. And the other side hasn't been able to do anything but thump the Bible." [h/t Politico]

Be it a big store or a small tent, it's a busy weekend for fireworks vendors.
"It's getting closer to the Fourth, so time to start buying!" said Larry Fields, Manager of a Jake's Fireworks tent off Edgewood Blvd. "Lots of people work during the week so the weekend is the best time to buy."
At American Eagle Superstore, Big Fireworks has been preparing all year for the week before Independence Day.
"We do I'd say 80-90% of our business really related to the fourth of July [this weekend]," said Ben Bakken, American Eagle Big Fireworks' Chief Financial Officer. "So it's huge for us."
Bakken says firework sales tend to increase day by day until the holiday, so he doesn't expect the rush doesn't end when the work week begins. And because July Fourth falls on a Thursday this year, sales could extend past the holiday as people prepare for the weekend.
But regardless of his sales, Bakken says he sees legal fireworks in Michigan as a win for everyone. He says it increases jobs, keeps tax dollars in the Mitten State, and helps other businesses.
Some buying the pyrotechnics Saturday had long planned on purchasing, others just stopped by on a whim. Some said they liked the colors the fireworks make and others said they like the noise, but all said they like the entertainment.
"I'm putting a show on for other people," said Jake Bruin, who was buying fireworks. "So it kind of gives me a good feeling."
