Piano Concertos with the Camerata Academica
Hear Nicolas Kenyon Discuss Today's 'Must-Have Mozart' Recording
As part of our run-up to Mozart's 250th birthday in January, we're introducing a new series. "Must-Have Mozart" is a series of intimate reflections on particular recordings of Mozart's music. Our guide in the series is Nicholas Kenyon, who is responsible for broadcasts of the Proms concerts at the BBC. Kenyon has also written a book, The Faber Pocket Guide to Mozart. He will join Fred Child on Tuesdays to talk about a favorite Mozart recording.
The recording Kenyon picked for today's installment is a collection of three piano concertos with pianist Geza Anda and the Camerata Academica of the Salzburg Mozarteum. Kenyon talks about the first and second movements of the concert with Fred Child. We then hear the complete third movement. This a Deutsche Grammophon recording, number 447 336.

Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co. v. Nagata
By Erica Larson – Edited by Suzanne Van Arsdale
Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co. v. Nagata, No. 2012-1245 (Fed. Cir. Feb. 11, 2013)
Slip opinion
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the judgment of the Northern District of California, which ruled that plaintiff Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co. ("SEL") could not establish federal jurisdiction over defendant Dr. Yujiro Nagata. The courts rejected a novel offensive application of assignor estoppel, traditionally a defense, which bars the previous holder of a patent from attacking the patent's validity when sued for infringement by the assignee.
SEL asserted the doctrine offensively, arguing that Nagata had violated assignor estoppel in a previous lawsuit by testifying against SEL, giving rise to a federal cause of action under 28 U.S.C. § 1338(a). Like the district court before it, the Federal Circuit did not reward plaintiff's legal creativity. Instead the court held that the argument lacked precedent or strong supporting authority and declined to extend the doctrine. Semiconductor Energy Laboratory at 6–7.
Property, intangible provides an overview of the decision and prior events. Dennis Crouch, writing for Patently-O, speculates that the Federal Circuit would have affirmed without opinion were the Supreme Court not presently considering Gunn v. Minton, a case which questions the extent of federal jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1338(b). Minton v. Gunn, 355 S.W.3d 634 (Tex. 2011) cert. granted, 133 S.Ct. 420 (2012) (focusing on whether the state law attorney malpractice case raises a federal cause of action under 28 U.S.C. § 1338(b)).

CLEVELAND (AP) — Colt McCoy threw three touchdown passes — two to tight end Evan Moore — in the first half, but the Cleveland Browns blew a 15-point lead after halftime and lost 30-28 to the Detroit Lions on Friday night in a penalty-filled exhibition that showed both teams have plenty to fix in the next three weeks.
McCoy finished 10 of 18 for 96 yards, his second straight solid performance running first-year Browns coach Pat Shurmur's new West Coast offense. McCoy was victimized by a few drops and wasn't as sharp as in last week's win over the Super Bowl champion Packers. However, the second-year QB showed poise, ran away from Ndamukong Suh and didn't force any throws while playing most of the first half.
The Lions (2-0) trailed by 10 entering the fourth, but got a 20-yard TD pass from Drew Stanton and Dave Rayner's 48-yard field goal.
Read the story in Saturday's Vindicator and vindy.com.
The Brown's first team looked good and out played Detroit's first team during the first half.
The second half was another story though. Poor passes by thrid string QB Brown, poor timing, fumbles, penalties. poor judgement. What a mess. Not much to brag about in the second half.
The 3rd string still looked better then last years starters.
Definatley a big difference this year.
The starters Showed up!!! The back up to the backs up must have forgot to practice this week..

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Unemployment rates fell in 43 U.S. states in January as more Americans began looking for work and most quickly found jobs.
The Labor Department says the unemployment rate rose in just one state _ Iowa _ where the rate increased to 4.3 percent from 4.2 percent. That's far below the national rate of 6.6 percent that month.
Twenty-three states reported more hiring in January, while 27 said that the number of jobs fell. Harsh winter weather weighed on hiring nationwide, with employers adding just 129,000 jobs that month, below the average monthly gain of about 180,000 in the previous two years.
Rhode Island had the highest unemployment rate, at 9.2 percent, while North Dakota had the lowest rate, at 2.6 percent.

By mikesamuels
May 15, 2011
Israel advocacy has become a buzz word for support of Israel and as I write this there is a huge conference with an array of influential speakers taking place in London. Why didn't I join them?? Well to get there in time for the start I would have to have caught the special coach and that left here at 5am. Enough said.
Manchester will probably have a follow up event around November for the faithful.
But what will this conference achieve as there are say 500 supporters of Israel many members of pro Israel organisations listening to pro Israel speakers all concerned about the welfare of Israel post the Gaza incursion called Cast Lead back in January 2009.
Since that time anti Zionism and anti Semitism have reached huge proportions and there have been a massive number of physical and verbal assaults on Jews in the UK, be they mothers shopping in the supermarket, school children travelling to and from school and students on campus.
Some people think that the Israeli Government has done little or nothing to prevent this demonization but behind the scenes a huge campaign exists to support Israel with political parties and trade unions being informed at all levels.
The Middle East is an extremely complicated area at the best of times but during the past three months life has become even more complex and changes almost by the minute.
We must focus on our lives in the UK as that's complex enough, pan Euro anti Semitism is again another very sad and getting sadder story.
To my mind there are three groups. The Jews who want to prevent the vilification and demonization of the state, the pro Palestinians who are promoting the aforementioned and the vast majority who don't care as it's not their problem.
So do we confront the Palestinian supporters, not is my opinion, leave them to protest and have their meetings, facing them gives them energy and a platform for their venomous rhetoric. I know I have been there and met them and they are very unpleasant.
So concentrate on the majority of our fellow countrymen who are very much more sympathetic to Israel than you may imagine and you will be pleasantly surprised.
As Jews we need to be better informed daily about events in Israel and as the websites of the Israeli press are so accessible getting up to the minute information is easy. And you can Tweet and Facebook that information to keep you circle of friends informed.
Don't be shy about writing to MP's and not just your MP they receive many letters and lots of information from pro-Palestinian supporters and very little from us Jews. Always be polite and never be confrontational. Ensure that your facts are accurate and support them with their source.
Write to news papers, and get your friends especially non Jews to do this, don't worry if you don't get into print.
Again online add comments to blogs and articles that you see, encourage non Jews to do so as non Jewish names are very important. Don't just look at the daily national press, look at local press online from wherever. You don't have to live in Glasgow or Dublin to read and react to papers in those areas.
Don't get into an online argument if you want to respond to someone be very short and sharp.
Speak to non Jewish groups at all levels from a play group to evening class and business networking events to support Israel and again be aware of your facts.
This is advocacy at its most effective and as I and my colleagues network though our daily lives don't be embarrassed to stand up and be counted.

The wordpress time stamp / scheduling feature is not working correctly for me.
In my draft post the status is set to draft, visibility is set to public, and then I go down to the option where I can set a time to post it and when I choose a date and press OK it says:
Publish on: Jan 20th 15:16 (as an example)
But then when that time comes the post doesn't go live and it just says "missed schedule"

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we continue "Catch Phrase" week! Each day we'll examine the first time that various comic book characters used their most famous catch phrase!
Today we look at a Wolverine catch phrase that really was very cool when it first came out!
There once was a time when people sat around and said, "Man, there are not enough comics out there featuring Wolverine!"
So Marvel addressed this by a cool four-issue mini-series in 1982 by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.
Cool cover, huh?
Well, the first page of the first issue delivered Wolverine's signature catch phrase…
For a time, this was awesome!!
It's true.
I was 10 when that comic came out and I thought it was about the most bad ass thing anyone had ever written.
There once was a time when people sat around and said, "Man, there are not enough comics out there featuring Wolverine!"
I think that's actually Marvel's mission statement at the moment.
And the shark was jumped.
I hated the covers. I hated the series. I hated Wolverine happily ever after.
Next thing you know, everybody is turning Japanese, their back-stories are being infested with Ninja, and Kitty becomes a Shadowcat, Decades later we end up with tubby, faceless, emo Ninja Hawkeye.
Hate! Hate! Hate!
10 years later or so Wolverine would start referring to himself as the ol' Canucklehead all the time and I thought it was about the worst thing anyone had ever written.
Now Wolverine has a son and is from a race of mutated dog people of which he is the fabled dark haired one who is destined to fight the light haired one all throughout time when he isn't fighting the angel of death so his healing factor will work or something and I didn't know how good I had it. Pretty much my entire knowledge of Wolverine these days comes from Paul O'Brien's reviews at The X-Axis.
Wow. How things can start out so simple, giving the fans what they want, more Wolverine. Then it snowballs into the freakshow that is now the current Marvel universe.
"I'm the best there is at what I do. But what I do isn't very nice.", could he be refering to corrupting every story he is shoved into with no purpose other to spice up sales? I think so.
I'm just going to pretend that's THE Larry King up there.
I was hoping for "Snikkt, bub", or possibly "Fastball Special".
"…But what I do isn't very nice" sounds terrible. Just terrible.
Still have a fond place in my heart for that story. So sad to see how far Wolvie has fallen.
But what strikes me most now….whatever happened to THAT Frank Miller? Just think of what the series would look like if he were to try to pencil it today.
I actually read the catchphrase first in the first issue of the regular series. I remember getting chills down my spine. These days Wolverine seems to shout that out on every posible occasion. It doesn't matter if he's kickin butt, sitting on the john or playing pattycake, you'll hear that catchphrase.
"…But what I do isn't very nice" sounds terrible. Just terrible.
Jason Aaron's character Red Crow from Scalped said basically the same thing, save before that is: "I'm an honourable man but what I do …"
This is after he killed some people and put a Mob enforced enforcer in jail for some really nasty s**t.
Am I the only one who, even back then, wasn't impressed with Wolverine's catchphrase? It always sounded stilted to my ears, like someone was trying too hard to sound badass.
Yep, agreed. It's Chris Claremont (super-nerdy) trying to sound edgy and cool.
And failing, as usual.
I'm not saying I disagree 27 years later as an adult, but as I say in my original post to my 10 year old ears it was so cool!
That original mini is cool. Yes, it's full of Claremontisms, but it's not like today, when it seems like half the industry is based on Claremontisms. And it`s got awesome Frank Miller art, and ninjas.
It got to the core of Wolverine`s character, something that`s overlooked now because he's the Universal Super Bad Ass: Trying to fight against his base nature to become a better man.
It may get lost in a sea of oversaturation and repetition, but that series was good stuff.
I was so eager to see this when the first issue came out, so excited to buy it, so sure that it absolutely had to be awesome, and eventually so disappointed. Compared to the Wolverine I'd known in X-Men, and compared to Miller's prior work on Daredevil, this felt over-hyped, overblown, and ultimately kind of empty, imho.
In the midst of all of this, we've had the most enjoyable 11-12 issues of Wolverine in decades with First Class and the second most enjoyable in Manifest Destiny and next year Jason Aaron gets an ongoing so yeah, I don't mind too much Wolverine if the stuff is actually good.
The catchphrase is still relevent today. He is the best there is at what he does. Since what he does is make gratuitous guest appearances and that isn't very nice.
I'm still waiting for a good solo Wolverine story.
I like the current future Wolverine story arc by Millar and McNiven a lot. My favorite Wolverine solo story is probably Barry Windsor Smith's Weapon X. (Does that count as a Wolverine story ?) I agree that there are very few good solo stories of him.
Oh yeah, and the mini wasn't super but the poster was awesome and I still have it up.
It was from a time Frank Miller could actually draw worth a damn.
Great character. The best thing about how often he's written is that if you're not a neurotic, you can easily ignore everything you don't like and be left over with some of the best stories from Marvel.
I liked the Archie Goodwin/John Byrne arc from later in this series, which starts in Madripoor and ends in some Central American banana republic. La Bandera was cool!
Tubby Hawkeye = Trick Shot.
Awesome series. Good stuff by Claremont and Miller.
That was a classic period for Marvel. They had several great ideas and over the years they stopped being as innovative or creative. I'm not sure if they're playing it too safe and just wanting to re-hash the old, successful stuff or if their writers are that void of good ideas. Needless to say, it has been a long time since I bought a Marvel or DC comic. It almost seems I have most of them…or the stories anyway because they're just re-hashing 20+ year old ideas.

So now America waits and the world waits, as the Bush administration moves perhaps inexorably toward war with Iraq. Yet the executive branch is not solely responsible for American foreign policy. The Constitution confers on Congress the power to declare war, and charges the Senate, by virtue of the advice-and-consent clause of Article II, Section 2, with special responsibilities on matters of foreign policy. Members of Congress have a patriotic duty to give the president their best, candid judgment about matters of war and peace.
As someone who came of age in the 1960s, I hoped the country had learned some painful lessons from the experience of the Vietnam War. It appears I was wrong-at least about the nation's politicians. As the Bush administration prepares to make war on Iraq, some in Congress wring their hands but make no move to reconsider the October 2002 resolution giving the president authority to take military action. The timid compliance of Congress recalls the tilt toward excessive presidential action and congressional inaction on Vietnam thirty-five to forty years ago. I was reminded vividly of these parallels recently by the presence in Oregon of former Senator Eugene McCarthy.
The threat of war against Iraq foremost in his mind, McCarthy alighted in Oregon like the eagle on the Great Seal of the Republic, olive branch in one talon, sheaf of arrows in the other. Now eighty-six, McCarthy is...

Officers: Fletcher Police Department probe botched
- Download copies of the letters at the end of the article -
Published: Thursday, March 1, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 1, 2007 at 7:39 a.m.
FLETCHER The SBI and prosecutors failed to take seriously criminal charges against Fletcher Police Chief Langdon Raymond and other problems in the department, an attorney representing a Fletcher officer says.
Foxx's attorney's claims:
Oct. 7-8: Foxx makes complaint to his supervisor, Sgt. Steve Morgan, that officer John Munro has made inappropriate, sexually charged conduct towards Foxx's wife.
Oct. 9: Foxx meets with Police Chief Langdon Raymond about the complaint, at which time Raymond says the chief became hostile and violent.
Oct. 12: Raymond advises Foxx he is demoted for an alleged policy violation. Foxx requests a copy of the allegations. In response, Foxx says, Raymond physically assaults Foxx.
The concerns were expressed in a series of letters to District Attorney Jeff Hunt from Shannon Lovins, who represents Officer Timothy Foxx, and from the Police Benevolent Association (PBA).
Investigations by the State Bureau of Investigation, the Fletcher Police Department and the town have amounted to "an utter lack of appropriate or meaningful response" to the charges brought by Officer Foxx of numerous problems in the department, including what he says was an assault by Raymond.
Criminal charges brought by Foxx and Adam White in October against Raymond were dismissed last week by Catawba County District Attorney Brenda Brewer, who was assigned the case after Hunt recused himself. Brewer said in a court filing the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.
In a letter to Hunt, PBA Executive Director John C. Midgette expresses concern that the charges were dropped within hours of a conversation in which prosecutor Brewer told officer Foxx the case was "set to go forward for trial." Midgette says Hunt should have responded to requests by Lovins and him to broaden the SBI investigation beyond Chief Raymond's behavior toward Foxx and White.
In a response, Hunt told Midgette that Brewer is an experienced assistant district attorney who can evaluate evidence. Hunt also said:
A letter dated Feb. 21 from Lovins claims Hunt ignored attempts to discuss Foxx's contension that Fletcher Police officer John Munro sexually harassed Foxx's wife.
Hunt says Foxx's complaint about officer Munro does not appear to be a
criminal matter.
"The bare assertion that someone made sexually explicit telephone calls to officer Foxx's spouse, nothing else appearing, fails to establish criminal conduct," Hunt said. "Likewise, the assertion that the Fletcher police retaliated against Foxx seems to amount to non-criminal behavior which may be improper, revolving around Foxx's
personnel case with the Fletcher Police Department over his job."
Officer Munro is still employed by the department.
Plea agreement
The complaining officers and Lovins also suggest there were problems with a plea agreement offered to Chief Raymond.
Officer White said he had come to an agreement with Brewer during Raymond's last court appearance to accept a plea bargain in which Raymond would issue a public letter of apology, he would be reprimanded and White's termination would be expunged.
When the charges were dismissed, White's plea bargain was off the table. White said he plans to file a civil lawsuit against the chief, who he said forcibly searched him.
"Not only does this proffered 'deal' raise legal concerns, but I submit to you that it raises ethical concerns for the District Attorney's Office," Lovins wrote.
In addition to Lovins' letters, the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association sent a letter to Hunt on Wednesday expressing concerns about how the case has been handled.
Midgette, of the PBA, said a "disturbing turn of events ... resulted in the abrupt about-face" by Brewer in dropping the assault charges against Raymond.
"This bizarre decision occurred within approximately two hours of our member (Foxx) being told by Ms. Brewer that the case was set to go forward for trial on Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 1:30 p.m."
Continued calls to Brewer have not been returned. Her boss, District Attorney James Gaither Jr., is out of town this week and not available for comment, a spokeswoman in his office said.
Complaints ignored?
Midgette said Hunt had been receiving information of ongoing concerns about the manner in which Raymond's case was handled.
"You were specifically reminded of this information in a letter from attorney Shannon Lovins dated Feb. 22," Midgette said.
Midgette's letter states that:
Hunt said he responded to Lovins' correspondence in a letter dated Jan. 18.
"I have indeed requested the SBI to undertake a criminal investigation as you described in your letter," Hunt wrote.
At that time, the DA informed Lovins he was withdrawing his office from investigating the matter "due to the continuing relationship of my office with the Fletcher Police Department concerning ongoing and future criminal cases arising in the Fletcher municipality."
"Consequently, a prosecutor from Prosecutorial District 25 has agreed to handle that case here. He will be responsible for evaluating the SBI's report and determining whether it will sustain a prosecution. If so, he will also be the prosecuting attorney at trial."
The case was handed to Brewer after the prosecutor first assigned to the case retired.
Hunt on Nov. 28 asked the SBI to investigate allegations and pending criminal charges against Raymond, SBI spokesperson Noelle Talley said.
The SBI completed its investigation and delivered a report to the DA on Jan. 17, Talley said.
Midgette said Hunt's office should do more.
"We understand that you have recused yourself from handling this case," his letter to Hunt says. "However, we are certain that you would agree that when any district attorney is presented such serious concerns about a special prosecutorial process that you established, a legitimate investigation of such concern is essential to the public trust and otherwise."
Hunt said he has fully responded to the attorney's letters and concerns:
"It is my belief that the SBI fully investigated Mr. Foxx's original claim. It has now been dealt with by an experienced prosecutor. The other briefly mentioned assertions of your attorney's two letter seem civil in nature and almost afterthoughts to Mr. Foxx's original claim that Mr. Raymond grabbed him in the crotch.
The letter concludes: "Having recused our office, there seems to be no further action on the part of my office required or appropriate in connection with what appears to be Mr. Foxx's ongoing civil contests with Fletcher and Chief Raymond."

Potter County could be throwing a wrench into plans to redevelop downtown.
In February, Potter County commissioners agreed to participate in the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, along with the city of Amarillo, the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District and Amarillo College.
The TIRZ dedicates property tax revenues generated by improvements downtown to pay for public facilities and infrastructure in the zone. It is expected to raise $31 million during a 30-year period.
But for the zone to work, each taxing entity must determine its participation and Potter County is thinking about lowering its.
Commissioners voted Monday to form a five-member committee to consider its participation level.
"All the taxing entities have the same value in the district. Since our tax rate is higher than the other entities, we are funding more than 50 percent," said Potter County Auditor Kerry Hood.
Potter County Commissioner Lacy Borger said the 57 percent Potter County would shoulder was "nowhere near fair and equitable."
"The county doesn't want to give any indication we aren't in favor of growth in downtown Amarillo or throughout the county," Borger said. "I just think it's more than our fair share. I just think it's not a fair and equitable sharing of the burden."
Borger said the city, which has a tax rate less than half of the county's, also has means to make up for the loss of revenue the county doesn't. Borger said as redevelopment occurs downtown, the city will be able to gain more money through the use of sales tax.
"It creates an advantage to the city that the county doesn't have access to," he said.
But changing the participation rate could hamper redevelopment efforts.
Vicki Covey, community services director for Amarillo, said the plan is being written with everyone at 100 percent participation rate, and that it has been that way from the beginning.
Covey said the TIRZ Board of Directors will meet Aug. 1 to consider the approval of the final project and financing plan, which is then sent to the city commission for approval. Covey said it will be after the city commission approval that participation agreements will be sent out. "Potter County can't consider anything until we send them stuff to consider," she said. "The plan is written at 100 percent. That is what we are proposing. It is hopefully what everybody will do."
Borger said he also would like to see the 30-year period for the TIRZ to be reduced.
The committee is expected to meet Wednesday to come up with a participation rate to recommend to commissioners.
