The Intellectual Property, Information & Communications Law Program
The centrality of transformative technological innovations to economic growth has placed intellectual property (IP) law at the heart of the global information economy—the "new economy." Michigan State University College of Law's Intellectual Property, Information & Communications Law (IPIC) program offers one of the most extensive programs of its type in the nation.
The program's full-time faculty members, David Blankfein-Tabachnick, Adam Candeub, Jennifer Carter-Johnson, James Chen, Nancy Costello, Renee Newman Knake, and Sean Pager offer students in-depth coursework in all areas of IP, including patent, copyright, trademark, cyber law, entertainment, international IP, as well as emerging areas such as informatics and the law.
Our location at a research university with world-renowned science and engineering programs puts MSU Law at the center of technological development. Our faculty works closely with other scholars at MSU to build on the university's internationally recognized strengths in engineering, computer science, agriculture, and communications to provide our students with a unique interdisciplinary perspective to their legal studies. Our capstone seminar series allows our best IP students to interact with leading IP scholars and practitioners from throughout the country. Through its adjunct professors and outreach efforts, IPIC boasts close connections to Michigan's intellectual property bar—one of the most active in the country. The relationship has helped launch many of our graduates' careers.

Researchers may have discovered another contributing factor to the obesity epidemic! And it's... c-sections?
Plus: Child Obesity Health Guide
A new study from Brazil has found that babies born via cesarean are more likely to be obese when they're adults. Tracking more than 2,000 23- to 25-year-olds, 15 percent of those delivered via C-section were obese compared to 10 percent of those born vaginally. Doctors say it's possible that these babies are denied certain bacteria found in the birth canal, making it harder for their digestive tracts to pick up microbes important for their metabolism.
What the study doesn't do is take into consideration the mother's weight, a key omission since obese moms are more likely to have c-sections in the first place and more likely to have heavier kids.
Plus: Strange But True Pregnancy Tales
To blame obesity on c-sections seems like a pretty big jump to me, but with the US c-section rate so high (33%), it seems something worth investigating. What do you think: could there be a strong connection between birth by c-section and a weight problem later in life?

Person familiar with situation: Duke assistant Chris Collins interviews at Northwestern
A person familiar with the situation says Duke assistant Chris Collins has interviewed for the head coach opening at Northwestern.
The person told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Collins spoke with Northwestern about the job on Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Northwestern is not publicly discussing the hiring process.
Collins is a native of the Chicago suburb of Northbrook, Ill. — roughly 15 miles from the Northwestern campus in Evanston — and is the son of Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins.
The former Duke guard and Mr. Basketball in Illinois has been on Mike Krzyzewski's staff since 2000. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2008.
Northwestern is searching for a replacement for Bill Carmody, who was fired earlier this month after 13 seasons.

Each day this week we will be breaking down the spring training roster position-by-position as we prepare for the official reporting date, which is a week from Wednesday. In today's Daily News, we looked at the projected rotation for the 2013 season and why it probably isn't very realistic to expect a drastic improvement over last season (mostly because the unit was better in 2012 than conventional wisdom suggests).
Here's a look at the rest of the roster:
PROJECTED: 1. LHP Cole Hamels, 2. LHP Cliff Lee, 3. RHP Roy Halladay, 4. RHP Kyle Kendrick, 5. LHP John Lannan.
NAMES TO KNOW: LHP Adam Morgan and RHP Jon Pettibone are the two minor leaguers most likely to get a look this season. Non-roster invitees RHP Rodrigo Lopez and RHP Aaron Cook are veterans with major league experience, but both are coming off uninspiring campaigns. Zach Miner, a 30-year-old lefty, also has major league experience, but has not pitched in the big since 2009 and has a 4.85 ERA in 35 career starts. So Morgan and Pettibone will enter spring training with chances to earn themselves serious considerations should the Phillies need an extra arm in 2013. But 26-year-old righty Tyler Cloyd, who had 3 impressive starts and 3 lackluster ones after being promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in August, could be the first man up.
OTHERS IN CAMP: Cesar Jimenez, a 28-year-old lefty non roster invitee, started 3 games for the Mariners from 2006-08 and worked 8 games in relief in 2011. He has pitched exclusively as a reliever the past two seasons. RHP Ethan Martin is another young pitcher on the 40-man roster who will be in camp with an opportunity to earn himself big league consideration down the road. MLB.com had Martin ranked on its Top 100 prospects in the game, but that is probably a bit ambitious. He has a big frame with a big fastball but needs to work on his consistency and his curveball and is pretty old to be still needing significant work on those things. That being said, he is definitely somebody to watch this spring.
By my count, there will be 11 or 12 starting pitchers in camp, depending on the role a couple of guys slot into.

Kelley Blue Book Expects Green Car Prices to Decrease by Year's End
If you're considering a green vehicle, you may want to wait a few months. According to KBB.com, fuel-efficient vehicle values are likely to fall 15 percent by year-end, due to stabilizing gas prices and a return to normal production levels for Japanese manufacturers.
So far in 2011, Kelley Blue Book reported significant strength among values of fuel-efficient subcompact, compact and hybrid cars. From January through May of this year, fuel-efficient vehicle values increased 20 to 25 percent, surpassing the used-car market average increase of 5 percent during the same time period. KBB attributes this steep increase to a few things:
- Average gas prices increased from \Average gas prices increased from \•.00 on January 1 to \•.97 per gallon on May 15..00 on January 1 to \Average gas prices increased from \•.00 on January 1 to \•.97 per gallon on May 15..97 per gallon on May 15.
- The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan severely constrained Japanese vehicle production.
- Continued supply constraints of good-condition vehicles due to reduced leasing and trade-ins.
Japanese manufacturers plan to have their production facilities back to 100 percent capacity by September. With gas prices on the decline and Japanese vehicle and part production recovering, demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is waning. As a result, dealers are becoming more reluctant to pay premium prices for these vehicles at auction.
"While depreciation has been relatively mild so far, based on changes in gas prices and issues with supply, Kelley Blue Book believes a significant 15 percent correction is likely by the end of the year," said Alec Gutierrez, Manager of Vehicle Valuation for Kelley Blue Book. "If we take a look back at the auction market in 2008 when gas prices hit $4.00 per gallon, we can foresee drops during the next few months."
With values inflated 20 percent since the beginning of the year, KBB predicts that we will surpass the drops during the peak of the recession. But, the key factor in determining the July to December drop in fuel-efficient vehicle values is fuel prices.

Bigger over-reaction: Federer or guy from the comment section, who ya got?
So I did a blog earlier in the week about Roger Federer yelling at a fan to shut up and how tennis players are pathetic for not being able to deal with a little crowd noise when athletes is basically every other sport have to deal with fans actively trying to get them to screw up. Which elicited the following response
Anon from the comment section–Are you fcking serious? Stop acting as if you know how does it feel like to be on the court u fucktard. –
Dude more like YOU need to fucking chill down because put yourself in his shoes and I'm sure you would react the same too fucker. C'mon. If u think he has overreacted what about the other players like nadal, djoker etc? They're even worse aren't they? So, PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT YOU FUCKING RETARDED DOUCHE BAG PERSON NO WAIT YOU'RE A FUCKING DOG. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A HUMAN FUCKK YOU. Go burn in hell already.
He was pissed off. Imagine yourself playing in such an important slam and you were about to lose and the crowd goes like OUT OUT when it was clearly in. Fucktard, use your brain okay?
Now I get comments telling me to castrate myself so I can't reproduce and telling me to kill myself on pretty much a daily basis. Doesn't bother me. In fact I kind of like knowing that I am getting that type of emotion out of people. Especially when 95% of the stuff on the blog is satire. So here is my real question…is flipping out and completely losing your shit over nothing just part of the tennis culture? I mean we have got Federer yelling at fans, this bro smashing every racquet he owns, comment section guy, and John McEnroe has made an entire career out of blowing his lid. I guess if you're forced to play a non-contact sport that nobody cares about anymore in a prissy white outfit then you have to go out of your way to prove that you are a tough guy. It's not like anybody is going to respect you just on your athletic abilities alone. So I guess what I am trying to say is…I ain't mad at ya comment section guy. Just let it out bro. Let it out.
Having said that…comment section guy is clearly the one who over-reacted more. Federer is playing a major tournament with huge money on the line in the twilight of his career. Comment section guy has nothing going on. Nothing.

Two FL teens caught up in the high stakes crime racket of stolen puppy distribution
(ST. AUGUSTINE, FL) – Two teens are behind bars after allegedly breaking into an industrial building and stealing guns and puppies in the World Golf Village area in mid-May. Jonathon Roberto Espinal, 18, also known as "Chico," and Avery Robert Russell, 18, are accused of breaking into an industrial building behind a residence on Francis Road, where the pair allegedly stole two firearms, an adult pit-bull terrier mother and her ten very young pit-bull puppies, according to a report from the St. Johns Sheriff's Office. The two later allegedly sold eight of the ten puppies. Two of the puppies died since they were removed from their mother at four weeks old, the report states. Espinal and Russell are charged with larceny, burglary and animal cruelty for causing a cruel death to two of the puppies. Espinal is currently being held on a $12,500 bond, Russell is held on $7,500.
Nothing is going to get you raped in prison faster than being convicted for being a puppy thief. I mean that is as soft as it gets. These guys have no idea what they are doing. Of all the Disney villains to model your life after you went with Cruella De Vil? Just a terrible, terrible choice. She is probably second to last on the Disney villain power rankings. The only worse villain to be is Ursula. Which leads me to the real point of this blog…if you had to be one Disney villain, who would it be? In my mind there are really only three possible choices. Gaston, Scar, and Jafar.
Being Gaston would be sweet. You're a big, good looking, dude who spends his days eating dozens of eggs, firing on chicks, and just gallivanting around Europe. I mean it's gotta suck to lose Belle to a walking, talking, bear-buffalo hybrid beast thing, but at the end of the day who gives a shit? If he would have just told Belle it was her loss he would have lived out the rest of his days like Prince Harry. She wasn't even that hot.
Scar is by far the smartest of this group. Just assassinating his brother without hesitation or remorse and assuming power. That stampede murder was sheer genius. Makes the Kennedy assassination look like a game of hungry hungry hippos. He just moved too fast. Too much too soon. Like Mufasa just died bro. Let the people mourn a little before you announce that you're forming an alliance with their mortal enemy. Ease into that transition. I like the idea overall. You have to consolidate power, but hubris got in the way again. Also…you've got to surround yourself with better people. Killing Simba was the right move, but sending three dumbass hyenas to do the job is the height of stupidity. Especially when one of them is Whoopi Goldberg.
Jafar…pros: You've got access to a Genie and the only guy standing in your way is a peasant. Cons: you're fucking ugly and you have to live in the Middle East. I mean I suppose if you've got three wishes you can spend one of them on making yourself look like Gaston. Then wish number 2 you go for power of the empire. But not in the Middle East. Somewhere cool like Europe. Then final wish…10,000 Jasmine sex slave look-a-likes. Boom, done. Then you just take that lamp and drop it in the bottom of the ocean or some place where nobody could ever get it. Viva Jafar!
Official Disney Villain Power Rankings:
1. Jafar
2. Gaston
3. Scar
4. The neighbor kid in Toy Story that blows shit up
If you say anyone else you're an idiot.

Skyforce in Four Different Cities over Five Days This Week
It's all business from here on out for the Sioux Falls Skyforce as the All-Star Game has passed and the jockeying for playoff spots will commence in the NBA Development League.
The upcoming four-game stretch this week is a daunting one for Sioux Falls as each one will be played in a different city. The trip starts in Tulsa on Tuesday then to Austin on Wednesday. Sioux Falls will host Austin on Friday with the final meeting of the year between the Mad Ants and the Skyforce in Fort Wayne Saturday.
The Skyforce currently have the fourth-best record in the league and are in heavy competition for the post season. Staying above the line will take more sustained effort from a few and continued improvement from some others.
Losing Quincy Douby after just two games was a jarring loss early in the season. However, the maneuvering of Tre Kelley into that slot and the emergence of Larry Drew II's scoring capabilities gives the Skyforce a strong backcourt.
The two Skyforce All-Stars were certainly deserving of the honor and equally as deserving of an NBA Call-up. DeAndre Liggins has been as advertised as the 7th pick in the NBADL draft and capable of filling the stat sheet in four different categories and playing four different positions. Justin Hamilton has improved greatly since the start of the season filling the starting center role and has been on the Prospect Watch for a lion's share of the season.
Rookies A.J. Davis and Ryan Evans have had shining moments and some rough spots typical of a first professional season. Henry Walker has had a mostly steady veteran presence with Anthony Mason, Jr. and Chris Ayer nursing injuries and spending some time out of action. Recent acquisitions guard Tajuan Porter and forward Alex Oriakhi will have to adjust quickly to define their roles after joining the team in early February.
Twenty one games remain for the Sioux Falls Skyforce. It's time to lay the cards on the table and see who has the best hand.
