Landline's debut album comes out on Loyal Label on November 1st. A few days later, on Novemebr 3rd at New York's Zürcher Gallery (33 Bleeker Street), they will have their record release show. On this special occasion visual-art students from Barnard College will complete four canvases using the Landline process, as the band plays four sets throughout the afternoon. The hope is that this logical yet head-scratching system can inspire fresh ideas for other artists, just as it did for Doxas, Lober, Sacks and Sperrazza. "I hope they do their own version of this," Sperrazza says. "Maybe a little better than us," he adds with a chuckle.
What you are looking at is our new website, or more correctly, the skeleton of our new website. It's under construction and will hopefully be completed by the end of February. Please check back in

The music video for Eivind Opsvik's "Brraps!" is now out. Watch it here
Video directed by Anais Blondet. Taken from the upcoming album "Overseas V" out on Vinyl, CD and digtal on March 17th.
"Brraps! is the tragic tale of a genius conductor gone mad. Once a living legend, he is now resigned to breaking into fancy homes to relive his glory days. He orchestrates an imaginary performance of his greatest avant-disco hit, passionately directing every sax solo, every bass note as if he was on stage. Once he's driven himself into a rabid, conducting-induced frenzy, he dusts himself off and moves onto his next break-in."
January 2017
Upcoming in 2017 Happy New Year - Fingers Crossed

The leader's compositions for this album incorporate influences from early Brian Eno's avant rock epics, elegant post production, and at its core, impeccable musicianship and interplay amongst this very special ensemble.

"KAROKH is an alternative rock band emerging from Oslo, Norway. Delicately mixing noise rock, surf, acoustic folk tunes and minimalistic improvisation, the band successfully evades the stereotypes of a specific genre. The music is eclectic, innovative and surprising, and has caused sponteneous outbreaks of joy in as different locations as Norwegian clubs, Italian squats, Russian art galleries and Norwegian high security prisons.
Challenging the notion of what an alternative rock band can be, KAROKH is always searching for new sounds and will leave you all but indifferent."

There's also a new review of mr. Davis' record here
October 2010
New Review
Downtown Music Gallery review of Jeff Davis' 'We Sleep Outside' by Bruce Lee Gallanter: "This is Jeff Davis' first disc as a leader and it is a powerful debut from one of Downtown's best drummers. I've played this a half dozen times over the past month and I am still blown away by the energy and craft that went into this gem."
September 2010
Is one of the great Neil Young songs, Eivind Opsvik recorded a bass and voice version of this song last spring. It is available as a free download here. A little teaser for Eivind's solo record to be out on Loyal Label in 2011.

April 2010
"Underground scenes often foster an incredible range of new talent—counterbalanced by equally fierce competition. Historically it has been the role of independent labels to capture the prevailing zeitgeist, separating the innovators from the imitators. The Brooklyn-based Loyal Label is quickly becoming one of the most noteworthy of such stateside independents."

Loyal Label Nights
at I-beam in Brooklyn
January 16th & 17th 2009
Friday January 16th 8pm ($10):
Jeff Davis - drums and percussion
"Drummer Jeff Davis has a steady profile in left-of-center New York jazz circles..."
- Nate Chinen, The New York Times
"Jeff Davis plays his kit with alert responsiveness, less a traditional rhythm section accompanist, than a creative soloist and spry agitator..."
-Troy Collins, All About Jazz
Rolletta Fynn - voice and guitar
"I was born in tampa florida under the oldest oak tree in the contiguous united states. making for and itchy childhood, i was covered in powder and boot straps but i flew here, on a plane all the way to new york and now i sleep with my head facing north. my mom shelved books and my dad killed bugs but we made it. we made it ours" RF
with Opsvik & Jennings
Rich Johnson - trumpet/laptop
Eivind Opsvik - lapsteel/bass guitar
Aaron Jennings - guitar
On his first solo recording, Rich Johnson's "Up the Turret Mil" explores a mix of trumpets, guitars, and pianos with laptop glitch, sampling, and musique concrète. Many of the songs began as experiments with laptop and electronic-acoustic treatments on the trumpet, and bridge Johnson's many influences – from free jazz to folk music.
" 'Up The Turret Mill', I suppose, could be likened to Terry Riley meets Stockhausen; take the more melodic, trance-like Riley and shake in some of Karlheinz's angular and spiky outpourings and you'll start to get a little closer to where Rich Johnson is going... " ToxicPete.co.uk
Saturday January 17th 8pm ($10):
Jon Irabagon - tenor sax
Mike Pride - drums
Winner of the 2008 Thelonius Monk Competition, Jon Irabagon, plays the blues with his drummer friend Mike Pride. A continuous additive duo, last instrument to be added is the bass and it probably wont be heard.
"It sounds like a mentally disturbed Sonny Rollins with a guy soundchecking on drums" Anonymous
CD to be released on loyal label early 2009
Eivind Opsvik - upright bass
Eivind did his first solo performance at Copenhagen Jazz Festival in the summer of 2008, his second solo show was at the Kennedy Center in december of 08, this will be his third solo show.
"Opsvik's bass has an aching sound, with his lines plumbing the depths to find almost folk-song-like melodies" All Music.com
Brandon Seabrook - guitar and banjo
Tom Blancarte - bass
Jared Seabrook - drums
"guitarist–banjo player Brandon Seabrook has made a name for himself applying the latter ax to avant-jazz and experimental contexts. His rousing trio Power Plant combines those aesthetics with gleeful rock bombast" Time Out

Superhero Window Washers Swoop into Wisconsin Children's Hospital
(STANLEY, Wis.) -- The young patients of Ministry St. Joseph's Children's Hospital got a big surprise Monday as Spider-Man, Batman, and Captain America all appeared to swoop down from the sky, right outside their windows.
What they were witnessing was not a comic come to life, but a kind collaboration between Brite-Way window cleaning service and some workers at Ministry St. Joseph's.
"We got the idea from a hospital in Pittsburgh," secretary of environmental services Julie Schafer told ABC News. "Brite-Way has been doing our windows for years and we reached out to them, and they were happy to do it."
Tim Taggart, a supervisor at Brite-Way/Tim's Maintenance, spent the day dressed as Batman and said he really got to play the part.
"We did some flips down the building and a lot of turns and stuff. You can do just about anything while attached to the rigging," Taggart told ABC News. "The kids really seemed to like it and that made it all worth it."
Taggart said he and his crew repelled from the roof, down to an outdoor patio area where thrilled children waited to greet their favorite superheroes.
Since not all of the children were able to make it out to the spectacle, the superheroes made a trip inside to greet them. One of those children was Lakken Burzynski.
"Lakken isn't really into superheroes," Lakken's mother, Katie Burzynski, told ABC News, "but she really thought it was neat."
At home now in Stanley, Wisc., Lakken had been at St. Joseph's since Friday. Katie said the window washers weren't allowed into Lakken's room, so they chatted with her using FaceTime on an iPad.
"Then they came to her window and waved hello, it was really something neat and different," Burzynski said.
According to Schafer, the hospital and window washing company agree this is something they should do again.
"We'd like to do it every year, now. And hopefully this is something Brite-Way can do at all the hospitals they serve. The kids really deserve it."

Air Conditioning, AC Repair and Heating Contractor Griffith, IN
As the outdoor temperature changes with the seasons, homeowners rely on their heating and cooling systems to provide a comfortable,
energy efficient and healthy indoor environment. At Meyer's Company, Inc., our comprehensive training and extensive experience ensures that
every residential and commercial HVAC system we install continues to perform reliably and economically over the lifetime of the equipment.
Selecting a New System
As a full-service contractor, we have the resources and knowledge to help guide our customers through every phase of the equipment selection and installation process. This includes complete system engineering and air distribution design services for replacement and new construction projects.
In order to maximize efficiency and performance, an HVAC system should be sized to adapt to the unique energy consumption footprint of the building it will serve. Using the latest load calculation technology, our designers determine the exact capacity required to provide continuous comfort at the lowest possible operating cost.
Equipment that is oversized will often short cycle, which creates excess indoor humidity and lowers overall efficiency. Since other components are designed to match the BTU output, the blower may be noisy and introduce an uncomfortable burst of air into the living area every time the unit is engaged. Undersized equipment may not have the capacity to satisfy the thermostat setting, especially in extreme weather conditions. This can cause excessive wear on internal components and eventually lead to premature failure.
Our ongoing commitment to customer service is demonstrated through a substantial investment in our heating and air conditioning service and repair department. Smaller contractors may not have the resources to deal with multiple jobs simultaneously, especially during extreme temperatures when response time is critical. Our service vans are fully stocked with common parts, and our technicians always have a complete set of tools when they arrive on site.
When a furnace or air conditioning repair is required, we dispatch friendly, factory trained service technicians who will quickly diagnose and repair faulty components. All of our lead service techs are NATE certified in heating and air conditioning repair, and they are qualified to fix virtually any major brand or equipment. Inside your home or office, our goal is to work efficiently while causing minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Heating and Cooling Solutions
For those considering a new equipment purchase, Meyer's Company, Inc. provides brand name products, exceptional heating and air conditioning service, and a complete solution for every HVAC challenge.

For years I've been videoing local, amateur stage shows and plays etc in my area as a hobby. After the events the performers place their orders for the DVDs which can total up to as few as, say, ten up to a hundred and sometimes people order copies years after the event.
However, someone has just asked to have their copy on a USB stick. Creating DVDs has been easy as the tech and standards are well established. Being in Europe I mainly produce PAL but some people want NTSC - that's it for choice.
However, for a USB stick, what would people recommend as a file format? I think that between FCPX and Compressor (plus other video software I have) I should be able to produce any format but which would probably work for the majority of viewers out there? Some will plug the USB stick into their computer and others directly into their modern TV or a box attached to it. Should it be .mov or .mp4 or what? H.264 maybe? It's all a bit 'unknown' to me with my old simple, trusted workflow.
Many thanks in advance for any advice and opinions.

Learning by reading
The book may be described as a teacher's manual or a guide to beginners and it is focused on American schools, yet the tips and tricks given in the book easily apply to most teaching problems in the world.
What I liked about the book is that Roxanna Elden looks at everyday troubles in class with humour and confidence, making it possible to believe that every difficult situation can be resolved positively and there is no need to despair and despond.
Though many situations and rules differ from those in my country, and most situational examples are given for primary level (which is not relevant to me), there are lots and lots of ideas and tips that are universal and can be applicable to any school, any class.
Here are a few ideas that I liked and will try (seriously!) to use in my work.
1. Files! Filing every paper or document that enters your classroom is not only an ancient idea but also a very productive and hard-to-manage idea. Roxanna Elden suggests to keep a number of files, all labelled, for any paper that "touches your desk", for example, Blank forms, Department information, Emergency, Lesson plans, Extra copies, Sample student work, Leftover copies etc. I have been doing something like this for some years but I have never reached perfection (which would be the ultimate goal of this system).
2. There are loads of tips regarding student management and discipline, e.g. Establish clear rules and consequences. This is my weak point as I often tend to forget the rule I invented and it is the worst thing that can happen to any rule. If its implementation is not ensured, the rule stops to exist, doesn't it?
3. I liked a few ideas about how to start a class, e.g. meeting students at the door and either distributing handouts to them or collecting homework. That may be a great time-saver!
4. "Shaving grading time off each assignment". Who wouldn't want it? Some ideas: grade only part of the assignment (but tell this to your students), focus only on one problem, pick only a few assignments to grade, give two grades for a longer assignment, e.g. an essay, do "holistic grading", i.e. skim the assignment for effort, understanding, completeness, then give a quick grade and move on.
5. Roxanna Elden pays special attention to relations with difficult parents and co-workers, advising to avoid negative teachers (I second that!) who constantly complain about their job. She says, "Complaining about your job is a lot like drinking.... If you do it too much, you'll be sorry."
The book consists of 200 pages and each one is packed with true-to-life teaching moments, teacher stories, problem situations, tried-and-tested tips and solutions. And, yes, you should read it if you find it.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Guest Blogger Chris Miles, March 14, 2011
Locating an Intex type Portable Swimming Pool
So, you finally decided this year to buy an above ground swimming pool, which is far most cost effective to buy and install than an in-ground swimming pool, and you may have chosen an easy set pool, or gone for a more permanent above ground swimming pool.
No matter what model you have chosen to buy, or no matter what size you have chosen to install, the principles for locating your new aboveground pool are the same.
You need to be thinking of a piece of flat, level ground, clear of aerial obstructions such as trees (to stop your pool filling up with leaves) and overhead cables, which may contact a pool pole, or in tragic cases, come loose and fall into the pool.
If you are placing it on grass like many of us will do, it is better to remove all of the turf, and then place down a two to three inch layer of sand to put your Intex pool. The sand will help remove any imperfections such as sharp stones which may otherwise have punctured your above ground swimming pool. Make sure you use filtered and graded sand, not masonry sand, which contains small pebbles.
Ideally you should also aim to locate your pool in a location that catches as much sunshine as possible, and also avoid any areas where the pool may be in an area of high winds, which can otherwise make the above ground swimming pool seem colder than it actually is. If you are considering a solar pool heater, allow enough space to place solar pool panels, with a southerly exposure.
Taking these simple tips into consideration should see you finding a great location for your Intex above ground swimming pool.
Installing Your Above Ground Swimming Pool
Okay, so you are just about to go out and buy your new above ground Intex pool, but before you do, you need to have a very careful think about how you are going to install it your aboveground pool, and more importantly where you are going to install it.
You may think that nice spot at the bottom of your garden that is always in the sun is the ideal place, but you also have to think about getting the services you will need to run your pool to it.
Primarily these are water and electricity, but you should not also overlook having adequate drainage, as in the event that you need to empty your above ground Intex swimming pool then you are looking at having to empty out several hundreds, if not thousands of gallons of water. Of note is that this volume of water will not simply drain away through your lawn!
Wherever you are considering placing your pool, it must be very flat and level. If you do not have such a surface then you will need to level an area up, to install it on. Any slope, even a slight one, will cause the water to un-evenly load the pool, which can result in a sidewall failure. Even an inch of slope from one side to the other will create problems. To check the level of the ground, place a carpenter's level on a long piece of lumber. Move the lumber in a circular fashion, to check level from all directions.
Installing any Intex pool is easy providing that you take the above in to consideration. The same considerations apply to all Intex above ground pools from easy set pools to ultra frame round metal pools. In each instance you need power, water, drainage and most importantly - a level surface.

Rob M - 26 January 2019
I got the 'Ocean View At Sunset' curtains with umbrellas, chairs palm tree and spa. I needed a functional fashion statement to block sunlight and heat at stairwell windows. I was more than pleased with the beautiful motif the curtains created and effective heat shield on sunny days. For perfection, I lightly steam ironed them on lowest setting to get minor wrinkles out.
Ambesonne Service was even better! I had ordered/measured the wrong size (height) and they stepped up sending me a larger size at no additional charge or shipping charge!
FANTASTIC PRODUCT and SERVICE! I wanted to write a review months ago when I got them, but apparently there was a software "glitch" that did not allow me (and perhaps many others) to write positive reviews.
Hopefully you can find a way to post my photos of the curtains installed: closed with filtered sunlight, closed with LED back light and open with tie-backs cause they are AWESOME!
Lynn C - 26 January 2019
These curtains are even better than I expected; the material is exquisite and the colors are perfect, as is the design match between the two. - Lynn C.
Denise Sanchez - 19 October 2018
I love my new curtains! The quality of the material is top notch. The printed design conveys the feeling of being in snowy, deep woods. Glimpses of sun-rays promise warmer days, but one savours to linger in this enchanted forest just a little longer. Reminds me of my native Austria. I am very happy to have found ambersonne.com and I have recommended them to all my friends.
katherine H - 16 November 2017
I wanted something exactly right to bring the lush patio I created into my living room. I began looking at shower curtins because I've purchased from Ambersomme before. When I could not find what I wanted on Amazon I decided to see if there was an Ambersomme web site. There was and not only did they make shower curtins, they make curtins. I'm so pleased with these, and very happy not to have to make shower curtins do! They look perfect and the material is just right. Thank you so much!

How to Not Get Sick of Zucchini on a 10-Mile Diet
When Tricia Beckner asked me to eat only what she can produce on her CSA farm-ette for a month, just to see what happens, I was game. As you'll see, we've widened the circle a little to include food produced 10 miles from my home on Whidbey Island, with exceptions made for 4 essentials: oil, salt (+5 other spices), caffeine, and lemons (until I can find local apple cider vinegar). Read more.
I'm here eating some zookies while I write this post before bed. I had zackers earlier today with some goat cheese, but I felt like a bit of sweetness tonight.
Say what?
In my search for crunch I learned that you could dehydrate zucchini and have something like a chip, or as much like a chip as I am going to get during my month of 10-mile eating.
I pulled out the dehydrating racks for my convention oven and started a zucchini chip factory. I call them zackers: zucchini crackers. Of course, you already got it that zookies are the same thing, only made with honey rather than butter.
Zackers not only provide crunch (when done perfectly), but they are perfect for the one that got away—as in the zucchini that hid and got away with growing to the size of a baseball bat before being apprehended.
Zucchini Wars
by Barbara Kingsolver
"I come from a proud line of folks who know how to deal with squash."
Making the chips is simple. Slice zucchinis about 1/4 inch thick, lay on racks, and dehydrate at about 125-145 degrees until crisp but not brittle. Put the whole batch in a covered jar for a day or so to even out texture. That is, unless you eat them all within a day.
Zuke bats seem to be growing in everyone's gardens right now, so my friends Raven and Karen had a zucchini party to see what creativity our community might muster. They came up with a clever recipe for zucchini ganoush.
But I'm looking to fill my bread vacuum, so I'll try the recipe Tricia sent instead (so I won't have to set the hairdryer on some wheat chaff next time I want a pancake):
Zucchini Pancakes:
makes approximately 9 – 2×2 inch pancakes
3 small zucchinis, or about 1 1/2 cup grated
1 small carrot, grated
1 small tomato, chopped
2 eggs
Mix grated zucchini and carrot in a bowl. Stir in salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. The salt will pull some of the extra water out of the vegetables and make them better pancakes. Next, squeeze out the excess water, transferring the zucchini mixture it to a dry bowl. Add eggs and tomato, stir. Heat a cast iron pan on medium heat, like you would for pancakes. Wait until it is hot to add some butter, then spoon in the zuke mixture, making the pancakes about 2 inches by 2 inches, or to your desired size. Cook until they are easy to turn over, but not burned. It is a subtle art, but if you make good pancakes, it will be a breeze!
For the Garlic & Onion Lovers: You can also add garlic and onions to the pancakes, just chop them very small.
Zucchini as big as baseball bats seems funny now in the late summer, but I am also aware, as I slice and dehydrate (with a lot of electricity) these big bats, that I would have to process 100 zukes to have enough for a month's worth of chips and stews and fritters and soups in the winter. Feeding oneself for a year, not a month, is no joke.
And with that sobering thought I'll have one more zacker (butter and salt) and then off to bed. Nicely full—and thankful for it.

Marbles that belonged to Anne Frank rediscovered
Tue, February 04 2014
Shortly before Anne Frank and her family went into hiding from the Nazis, she gave some of her toys to a non-Jewish neighborhood girlfriend for safekeeping. The Anne Frank House Museum says the toys have now been recovered and Anne's tin of marbles will go on display for the first time this week at an art gallery in Rotterdam.
The neighbor, Toosje Kupers, kept the marbles along with a tea set and a book. When Kupers was interviewed by the Museum in 2009, she realized the commonplace items would be of historical interest and donated them to the Museum.
Museum spokeswoman Annemarie Bekker said Tuesday that Frank was one of many Jewish children who gave away toys before being deported and dying in the Holocaust.

Antitrust: shortcomings in pharmaceutical sector require further action – frequently asked questions
What is the focus of the pharmaceutical sector inquiry?
The inquiry has a double focus:
Competition issues were examined side-by-side with wider regulatory issues. They are inseparable.
What is a sector inquiry? Why not just open a case to deal with the problem?
The Commission suspected a potential systemic problem, so it is both more efficient and more effective to tackle such issues with a sector inquiry. The legal basis for a sector inquiry is Article 17 of Regulation 1/2003 on the application of the EC Treaty competition rules (Articles 81 and 82).
In seeking to improve the Commission's knowledge of a sector, sector inquiries are 'upstream' of any antitrust proceedings in specific cases, which may or may not follow.
A sector inquiry also provides empirical evidence that may be useful in reviewing the regulatory framework governing a sector.
Is this the Commission's first sector inquiry?
No. Since 2004 the Commission has conducted sector inquiries in the areas of energy and financial services. More information is at:
What were the underlying reasons for starting this inquiry?
Several trends led the Commission to worry about the state of the market, including:
Why is the pharmaceutical sector a priority?
The pharmaceutical sector is vital to the health of Europe's citizens and medicines are a major expense. In Europe, we spend €214 billion per year - in retail prices - on pharmaceuticals, i.e. 2% of our GDP. This means around €430 per year for every man, woman and child. Europe's ageing population will only increase the financial constraints on public health budgets. At the same time many patents for the best selling medicines are due to expire in the next few years.
We need to ensure that Europe's patients have access to innovative, affordable and safe medicines without undue delay.
What are the main findings of the sector inquiry?
The main finding is that competition does not work as well as it should. The Commission found delay in the market entry of generic drugs and a decline in innovation as measured by less novel medicines reaching the market. Both company behaviour and regulation play a factor in this. This adds up to extra costs for all parties, and can be fixed, partly through implementing the recommendations of this report.
Documents found by the Commission during the sector inquiry on originator strategies vis-à-vis competing originator and generic products include:
The report highlights several different specific delaying strategies, including the following aimed at generic companies:
Further information is contained in the fact sheets, which are available here:
What are the reasons for delayed market entry of generic medicines?
There are several reasons for delayed market entry of generics, some of which originate from the regulatory framework of the market and some of which that originate from company behaviour. Thus, the regulatory framework can cause delays through its lengthy marketing authorisation and its pricing and reimbursement procedures. Company behaviour such as the use of certain patent application and enforcement strategies, certain patent settlements aiming at the restriction of generic market entry as well as interventions in marketing authorisation procedures concerning generic medicines can also contribute to delays.
What are the solutions to the problems you highlight?
Will the Commission launch antitrust cases against particular companies?
Enforcement action is already under way, but we are unable to comment further at this stage.
The knowledge gained during the sector inquiry will allow the Commission to focus its antitrust action in this sector.
Which stakeholders were consulted during the inquiry?
How representative is the sample of companies and products selected for the sector inquiry?
It is highly representative, and far in excess of standard scientific sampling sizes.
In total, 43 originator companies and 27 generic companies cooperated actively with the Commission. They represented over 80% of the total turnover generated with prescription medicines in the pharmaceutical sector of the EU in 2007. The 219 molecules selected for the analysis in the sector inquiry accounted for 47% of the overall turnover of prescription medicines in the EU in 2007. The generic medicines studied represent over 90% of recently new generic medicines.
How did you choose the products under investigation?
219 products were selected for in-depth investigation mostly because patent protection expired in recent years and/or generic entry had recently occurred for the first time. For reasons of comparison, some top selling medicines were also investigated. Many of them still benefit from exclusivity, but expiry is expected to end in the coming years.
What is the geographic scope of the inquiry?
The inquiry covers all 27 EU Member States. In certain instances the Commission also asked for an international comparison, in particular with the US.
How does the sector inquiry fit with other Commission initiatives in pharmaceuticals?
The Competition department worked very closely with other Commission departments to draw on expertise and to assist their efforts in initiatives such as the creation of the Community Patent and a specialised patent litigation system, research activities including the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) and the reinforced cooperation with national pricing and reimbursement bodies in the Pharmaceutical Forum. All of these initiatives are aimed at enhancing innovation, improving the affordability of medicines for patients and addressing the challenges of the public health systems.
What is the role of patents in the pharmaceutical sector?
Patents are essential for protecting intellectual property rights of inventors so that they can make a profit on their innovation and will continue to invest and work in the field.
For how long can a medicine be patent-protected?
Up to twenty years from the date of the first application, with extensions available if the approval process is delayed (as can be the case in the complex pharmaceutical sector). In 2009, the effective protection period from product launch to the first generic launch is over 14 years, up from 10 years in 2000.
Is there a Community Patent?
No, but significant efforts continue to achieve its realisation. Further details are available under the following website:
Given that 30% of patent court cases are parallel proceedings between the same parties, and that in 11% of cases national courts reach conflicting judgements, it is essential to reduce these burdens and uncertainties.
Under the current regime companies can file for patents centrally at the European level (European Patent Office, EPO). However the patents ultimately granted by the EPO are a bundle of national patents that need to be enforced/challenged nationally.
Is it really the job of the Commission's competition department to address patent problems? Are you not substituting yourself for the patent office?
The Commission has worked very closely with the European Patent Office and has no intention of taking on its role. Europe can be proud to have one of the best patent offices in the world. However, if misuses of the patent system and other regulatory processes are affecting competition, the Commission has an obligation to apply the antitrust rules at its discretion. This is in line with the decisions of the European Court of Justice. The OECD Roundtable on Patents, Innovation and Competition has already in 2006 and recently in June 2009 held intensive discussions amongst its members about possible negative effects of the use of patents on innovation and competition and how to address them. Further details are available under:
Does the pharmaceutical sector inquiry deal with parallel trade?
No, the sector inquiry does not deal with parallel trade.
Stakeholders have invested a lot of time responding to the Commission's questions. Has this effort been worthwhile?
Yes. Without the information supplied by stakeholders, the inquiry would have discovered less, and would go on to resolve fewer issues.
What impact do you think the financial crisis will have on the pharmaceutical sector?
The Commission does not expect any significant impact on the consumption of medicines. That said, all downward pressure on prices is welcome at this time of strain on household and government budgets.
The main effect of the financial crisis is likely to be felt by innovative biotech firms, which rely on venture capital investments (where funding may dry up). The UK Economic and Social Research Council has already warned about such a development, which is most likely more pronounced for SMEs.
The Commission will not be changing its tough approach to antitrust enforcement as a result of the crisis.

Bonus Side Tangent Contest Results
The other day I threw down the challenge gauntlet, asking you all to find me a cake celebrating the flu or food poisoning. Many of you jauntily took up that gauntlet, brushed it off, and are now attempting a brisk-yet-virtual slap-across-my-face with the following:
Mary B was the first to submit it, and I must say being sick never looked so cute. Of course, I would assume this is a "get well soon" cake, not a "Yay! You have the flu/chicken pox!" cake. Still, not bad.
Jan G. took a more causal* approach to the challenge:
As near as we can make out, the cake board says "I love microbes!" leaving us to assume the purple and yellow mass is supposed to be...a microbe. (It's a gift - what can I say?) Since bacteria and viruses are microbes, and this cake is *clearly* quite enamored with those, I'd say we have as close to a winner as we're going to get. Excellent work, Jan!
* Yes, "causal", not "casual" - though I can see how you'd get those mixed up.

RIM lauds latest NTP patent rejection
Two down, one to go
The US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has rejected all the claims contained in US patent number 6,067,451, one of the three patents held by NTP, and for which it successfully sued Research in Motion for intellectual property violation.
The patent contains two of nine claims that NTP said RIM had implemented in the BlackBerry push email system without its permission. The remaining claims are enshrined in NTP patents 6,317,592 and 5,436,960, and all nine have been ruled by the PTO as invalid for a number of reasons, most prominently because of prior art that was not taken into consideration when the Office first examined the patent applications in 2002.
Ruling the claims invalid and actually striking them from the record are two different processes. The claims have all been judged twice-over to be invalid, but this week's third and final ruling in the case of the 6,067,451 patent is the first Final Office Action (FOA) issued by the PTO.
NTP may appeal against the final verdict, but RIM yesterday said it believes the company won't succeed if it tries. The FOA comes with the weight of the unanimous verdict of three senior patent examiners.
Earlier this month, the PTO issued an Action Closing Prosecution notice on patent 6,317,592, which RIM described as the equivalent of an FOA. The PTO has yet to issue an FOA for the third patent, 5,436,960, which contains just one of the nine claims NTP said RIM had infringed.
In the past, NTP has said it needs just one claim to maintain its argument that RIM infringed its intellectual property, so the fight now hinges on that one remaining claim. It will take particular prominence at tomorrow's court hearing at which both companies will argue for and against a ban on BlackBerry in the US. ®

Nineteen teams, two classifications, three district tournaments, all with the opportunity to head to a regional tournament on the line.
The high school wrestling playoffs are here. The district tournaments mark the first step in a monthlong process to reach, and possibly win, the state tournament.
Several Amarillo-area schools are participating in one of three district tournaments. For the first time in UIL history, there will be a 5A classification and a 4A-and-below classification. The top four wrestlers in each weight class will advance to their respective regional tournaments, also a UIL first. In the past, only the top two wrestlers in each weight class advanced out of district.
The school that gets to take the most advantage of this new rule is Amarillo's lone 5A, Tascosa. The Rebels and Lady Rebels are in four-team District 2-5A with Lubbock Coronado, Midlothian and Weatherford. Tascosa hosts the tournament beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday at Tascosa Old Gym.
Because four wrestlers per weight class advance and only four teams are in 2-5A, each team will advance a wrestler per weight class, pending no disqualifications.
"We just have to wait and see," Tascosa coach Joe Stafford said. "We came out of probably one of the toughest districts in the state, where we were leaving kids at home that had they qualified out of district, they would have easily qualified out of regionals and possibly placed at state. We are going from that to a spectrum where we make weight and we qualify for regionals. Competitively speaking, as far as keeping the kids sharp and ready to compete it's not our best option. Team strength-wise it is our best option. There are some pluses and minuses."
The District 3-4A tournament features Amarillo High, Caprock, Palo Duro, River Road, Borger, Boys Ranch, Dumas and Pampa. Caprock hosts the tournament beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday at Caprock. The Caprock Lady Longhorns are the nine-time defending state champion.
The District 4-4A tournament brings in some new Class 4A schools and some old rivals together with Bushland, Randall, Hereford, Lubbock High, Lubbock Estacado, Lubbock Monterey and Vernon at noon Saturday at Vernon.
Randall coach David Quirino, whose Raiders have won 11 straight district championships, said his team wants to keep the streak going.
"You want to continue the district championship run," Quirino said. "The only difference is the different colored singlets than usual. We look forward to wrestling against them. They aren't going to let the new guys, being Hereford and Randall, and think that they run things. They are going to have a little pride and a little fight in themselves to defend what is theirs. No matter who is in the lineup, we have a district run to protect. We are the defending champions, and we need to defend the district title no matter what district it's in."
The Raiders hope to take advantage of the new rule allowing the top four to advance.
"The goal is even more solidified that you want to take all the weight classes (to regionals)," Quirino said. "The last year that we had 15 weight classes, we qualified 14 weights and narrowly missed qualifying the 15th, and that was when two wrestlers qualify. Now that four qualify, you obviously want to take them all. New district or not, that's the standard we are setting for ourselves."
Stafford wasn't a proponent for the split to two classifications, but he said his team will do whatever it can to take advantage of it.
"I never was a big fan of this split from the beginning," Stafford said. "It is what it is. I'll try to train these guys and girls to be successful at whatever classification they put us at. I've always been a big fan of wrestling being a one-champion sport in Texas. We're excited about being in the bigger class, but in a sport like wrestling, it really holds no water like it does when you look at football. You just have to train for the people you're going up against and hope your kids will be successful."
Quirino, on the other hand, thinks the split will benefit the sport as a whole.
"I think it's a good thing overall for wrestling," Quirino said. "I know everybody wants to say they are the lone state champion in wrestling, but for the sport I think it's a good thing. I would have preferred the 5A and 4A together and then 3A and below in a division. That could have allowed more of our West Texas programs to pick wrestling up. We are looking to try to win the state title just like it was one division. I think it's good that more families will get to experience the state championships now. That's going to be good for the sport."

Over the past two seasons, farmers across the Corn Belt have participated in an online, early warning system tool to monitor above ground pests that could threaten their corn yields. For 2012, the Insect Forecast tool program has been enhanced to track another pest: corn rootworm.
Matt Kirkpatrick, Monsanto corn traits marketing manager, says farmers can now log onto the site, www.insectforecast.com, to learn when corn rootworm larvae are hatching in their area, allowing for better timing to scout their fields for potential root damage. The corn rootworm hatch varies by geography, but typically occurs from early- to mid-June in the Corn Belt and often coincides with the first appearance of lightening bugs.
"The Insect Forecast tool this season will also continue to track the migration of two damaging above ground insects — corn earworm and western bean cutworm — that can significantly reduce yield by feeding on corn ears," Kirkpatrick says. "Just three damaged kernels per ear can translate into a loss of one bushel-per-acre."
Kirkpatrick adds that greater awareness about the annual corn rootworm hatch and migration patterns of corn earworm and western bean cutworm moths can help farmers minimize their impact.
Farmers in the Corn Belt can sign up at www.insectforecast.com to receive email alerts from May through September to learn when these insects pose a risk in their areas. Text alerts are also available.

I don't exactly know yet how to move on from something when you never had any proper closure. But I do know that moving to a wonderful new home, in a wonderful new town, is a pretty good way to start.
I moved right before Christmas with the help of my amazing family and friends, and this last week was filled with lots of unpacking, cooking, coffee, presents and dinners. We had a bit of snow yesterday and my new neighborhood looked very lovely in the early Sunday morning light. I enjoyed the trees, the squirrels, the exploring of new streets, and the amazing feeling you get when you return to a warm home after a walk in the cold.
So I might not have it all sorted out yet, but it's a great way to get started :)

Democrat Matt Jones of Louisville will be joining what will again be a Democratic majority in the Colorado Senate next session, following a convincing win over his two challengers Tuesday night.
As of its 11:00 p.m. report, the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's office had counted 4,186 votes and Jones had received 63 percent of them.
Republican Charlie Plagainos was second with 33 percent of the vote, and Libertarian Ken Bray has 4 percent of the vote.
"I think (this campaign) was the same message I had before, and that was getting the state back on track in terms of jobs, clean-energy jobs; funding and improving education; and protecting the environment," Jones said Tuesday night, traveling between Democratic victory parties.
The three were vying for the seat vacated by term-limited Longmont Democrat Brandon Shaffer, the former Senate president who lost his bid for U.S. Congress Tuesday.
Jones, 57, of Louisville, was a state representative from 1987 to 1993 and was elected again, in 2011, to represent House District 12. Instead of running for re-election to that position he decided to run for State Senate.
Plagainos, 64, of Longmont, is a former Democrat who spent 28 years working for New York Telephone Co.
Senate District 17 includes Louisville, Lafayette and the Boulder County portions of Longmont and Erie.

Never Built: Los Angeles, an exhibition opening this spring at Los Angeles's A+D Architecture and Design Museum, features a collection of spectacular projects that only saw the drawing board. In words, drawings, models, videos and other media the show looks at visionary works that had the greatest potential to reshape the city.
The exhibition will include buildings from legends like Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, Rudolph Schindler, Frank Gehry and Thom Mayne, as well as master plans, parks, amusements parks and even transportation proposals like subways, monorails, and aerial transport. All could have transformed both the physical reality and the collective perception of the city. The fascinating stories and mesmerizing images surrounding these projects shed light on a reluctant city whose institutions and infrastructure have often undermined inventive, challenging urban schemes from some of the world's greatest architects, engineers and planners. Never Built sets the stage for a renewed interest in visionary projects in Los Angeles and dares the city to dream again.
During two years of research we have unearthed countless untold stories and hundreds of beautiful yet buried images. We have completed the exhibition book, published by Metropolis Books, and worked with one of the nation's most celebrated designers—Clive Wilkinson Architects— to conceive of a show worthy of the topic. The entire museum space will become an alternative version of Los Angeles, with an amazing floor map of the city as a guide.
We have finished the research and we have the exhibition design ready. But we need YOUR help to make the show a reality! We are asking specifically for your (tax deductible!) donations to pay for the floor graphic, the cost of building museum-quality models (as well as an 11-foot-tall tower made of over 67,000 Legos), the expense of rights to borrow and mount original drawings, and the price of installing all this, and so much more, into the museum space. Please help us make this amazing show happen.

Risks and challenges
Because this exhibition is extremely ambitious it faces many challenges. Our most pressing concern, of course, is funding. But once we achieve our funding goals we then need to build out the show. That means installing a 2,200 square foot floor graphic, installing exhibition display cases, building models from scratch, creating a eleven-foot-tall lego tower, mounting original materials and reproductions, and finalizing video animations, among so many other things. We also need to ensure that our exhibition catalogue is ready in time for the opening and that the speakers are confirmed for the various events. There are so many moving parts, but we're up to the challenge. And you can help make it happen.

Hello all.
I have an IFRAME control inside of an HTML document. The content of the IFRAME
is injected with some jscript code by using the Open(), write() and close()
methods. The IFRAME is absolutely positioned and is floating.
I would like to figure out how to make the IFRAME resizable so that no scrollbars
ever appear. I have been trying to see if any of the properties of the IFRAME
"tell" me that there are scrollbars, but so far I'm coming up empty.
Any suggestions?
